Travelling with FND and a wheelchair

Travelling with FND and a wheelchair I have functional neurological disorder and I am a ambulatory wheelchair user and I use crutches due to my FND on May the 4th we traveled to Cardiff airport to go to Spain and I was completely freaking out about my wheelchair and my FND and how staff were going to react what was going to happen with my wheelchair etc so I thought I would write about it for people in the same situation who have FND seizures or use a wheelchair my mum booked special assistance and they gave me a hidden disability lanyard and we went to security which I had to be patted down as I can’t walk without my crutches so I just had a pat down but if your able to stand and walk without help for a few moments then you could go through the scanner If you don’t want the pat down the special assistance took us to the airplane and helped us board the plane my wheelchair went with the suitcases under the plane and my crutches went in the head cabinet with our bags staff did see me have seizures but we have all my letters from hospital my diagnosis and fit to fly note and they were happy for me to board the plane but my seizures are non epileptic so I don’t need medical attention but with epilepsy it’s a different situation that I don’t know much about but if you have a epileptic seizure and it lasts for 5 minutes or more that can be serious and you would need medical attention but my situation is different as they functional seizures due to my FND hopes this helps❤️

(It is a bit harder on the other side of the airport because of the lack of understanding and the language barrier)
