    I’ve had FND for3 years now but was finally diagnosed last year because my legs randomly stopped working for me. Since then I’ve lost my memory, have shaky arms and legs and also I’ve been deaf for the last 3 years. There’s many more things that have changed my life because of fnd

      Were you checked for MS before they made the FND diagnosis?

      @@dermlover1 FND has a lower misdiagnosis rate than MS over time, and MS can co-occur with FND so they can be diagnosed in the same person (MS can actually trigger FND). It's standard practice to check for differential diagnoses like MS, but there are positive signs of functional disorder that a case of MS without FND wouldn't normally have. For example, Hoover's sign, which was mentioned in this video, is used to identify functional limb weakness as opposed to other kinds of weakness.

    I’ve had FND for almost 4 years now. I started having seizures and later started having numbness in my legs from the knees down. I’ve even had selective mutism. In the last year I’ve been having dystonia and now vocal and motor tics. It’s been pretty scary at times but now I know more about it it’s not as scary.

      I also habe FND! It’s great to find someone with similar symptoms. For me I have difficult with regulating emotions, concentrating, sensory issues, tics including complex motor and verbal tics as well as my legs unable to walk because numbness in my lower legs and spasms. But because I’ve had it for a while it hasn’t really brought me down luckily! Hope your doing well

    An awful illness to have, it took 7 years for me to be diagnosed. It's very debilitating and can knock your confidence. The severe shaking can be mistaken for an epileptic fit. There are no triggers the shakes, jerks and twitches just happens.

      I had to change 3 doctors because they didn’t believe me when I told them about my stutters, twitches, very bad guy twitching and falling and how they comes and goes. I had to get an on-call job. Because I didn’t know what was gonna happen sometimes in the morning or if I feel it might be coming on sometime they are mow and sometimes they are strong. One day I had a bad episode while at the doctors they thought I was having a stroke. And rushed me to the ER I was telling them what was going on. Hospital did a CAT scan and during that I had an episode and they thought I was having a seizure. They couldn’t find anything really except for something neurology going on with the bottom part of my neck area and they was treating me for a stroke and seizure. They sent me to work you dumb Washington state neurologist doctor and he said it look like FND. But I still have not been treated for it I’m just waiting for I don’t know what they got me waiting for but is really bad I am going to physical therapist for my neck and my nerves been or my my nerves or whatever when they touch me where I start shaking and twitching and stuff so

    I've just come back from a&e at hospital from major trauma unit. I had a seizure lasting 45 minutes. I'm waiting to see my neurologist (which takes a while to wait for). The doctor who saw me in majors said it may be FND. So I'm reading about FND as I've never heard of it!

      Hello! How are you doing now? I have had a series of bad neurological symptons, but my neurologist insists that they are not related to an illness or damage of neurological organs. So, I have a functional neurological disorder. I want to believe it because I want to be back totally active, but it is difficult. My symtoms are real, oainful, unpleasant. I do no control them.

      You are probably 💯% correct lol I jumped straight to the comments and didn't watch the vid yet but knowing she was in a car wreck she most likely has what I have - upper cervical instability. I was diagnosed with FND and CFS but tried to tell the neurologist that I didn't have any of these debilitating symptoms ranging from heart issues to digestion to tremors and twitching until I did certain things to my neck - roller coasters, twisting my neck too far, etc and I am also an artist and would work for hrs and hrs at a time with my head bent down. Upper cervical specialist chiropractor has helped me significantly and now I'm getting prolotherapy in my neck and already much better after just one treatment. Unfortunately most Drs just diagnosed ppl with a disease or disorder and not interested in finding the root cause to actually fix the problem 😡

      I got diagnosed with FND but coincidentally I also have cervical instability which neurologists don't know anything about. It can cause all the same things as FND but coming from a structural problem in the neck, usually upper cervical. I started cervical prolotherapy with Caring Medical and already my weakness and tremors upon physical activity have improved after just one treatment
