When I was diagnosed with Functional neurological disorder FND I knew I would have to deal with my functional seizures, functional tics, paralysis/limb weakness, losing my speech or speech difficulties, tremors and dystonia but I never thought functioning would be so exhausting I didn’t know I would be scared to be on my period I’ve never had to deal with crippling cramps plus FND I didn’t know I would lose friends I didn’t know I would be discriminated against I didn’t know that I would be all alone😕

    Hi @Summerjune15, well done for reaching out here. I can hear how difficult this ordeal is for you. It sounds like you're going through a lot at the moment with the physical symptoms of the diagnosis. I'm sorry to hear that you've lost friends and felt discriminated against - if you'd like, would you be able to share a little more about these experiences, and how you feel about them? We're here to listen to you and support you through this.
