Hello folks. I am FioNa Davies and I got a diagnosis of FND two years ago. I experienced a variety of odd symptoms for a couple of years before that, but my GP basically wrote me off as he didn’t know what was wrong. Eventually he referred me to a neurologist who told me I had FND, but didn’t give me any information. He just recommended a website (neurosymptoms.org) and left me to work it out for myself.
Through this website I have worked out that stress - arguments, too much work to do, getting tired, being hot - causes seizures, tics and my legs don’t work properly.
Until I came to this group I hadn’t met anyone else with FND, and it’s great to feel listened to and understood here. We also have a laugh about ourselves and exchange coping strategies that we have devised.
