#FND is destroying most of my life yet I still find it difficult to even accept it's real.

If I were to travel back in time ten years and tell myself I would experience vocal and motor tics, lose the ability to speak, move... I would have thought the possibility insane.

I lost the ability to read & write in the middle of my Cambridge Creative Writing degree. As if that weren't enough, I also struggled w mobility & speech.

I was diagnosed w FND & in lieu of treatment or a cure, I was given a therapist to help me cope.

Cosentyx & Ajovy help, but there’s no magic fix. I’m learning to pace myself, respect my limits and celebrate the good days. ❤️

These conditions are part of my life — but they are not all of me. 🐘💜

...are too often seen as a "liability." Carers, too, are often left to cope with enormous stress and time pressures of their own.

It's a condition that's too often dismissed, and that needs to change. Thank you to everyone at FND FrieNDs for such a productive conversation. (2/2)

On her father's birthday, my close friend collapsed and was rushed to the ER. Over the next two weeks she went back five times until she had her first non-epileptic seizure. That was the start of her life with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). I want her story to be told.

Time for the Brain to Spin the Wheel of Bullshit! And it looks like it's landed on "Cannot taste/register Sugar"! Well ain't that a laugh folks?! Tune in next time for more! #FND #functionalneurologicaldisorder #thefleshvessel

Great to see #FND on the agenda at the Irish IICN Annual Neurology Update Meeting this week. 💚🧡
