Hello,
Recently diagnosed with FND.  I had increasing mobility and speach difficulties  after eating gluten.  i have tried to get specialist support, or even someone to explain what it is but been told by a locum gp dont know of anything.  My symptoms come and go and I do hope they will just go   I feel so confused.

    Hi @Careyon welcome to the forum. That sounds awful for you and I can imagine it's frightening, especially when no one medical can give you answers. 
    Could you ask your gp for a referral to a specialists who may be able to help you better with your symptoms.

    Hello, thanks for reply.  I was told nothing local i.e. in Wales. But I am going to see another GP. It all feels unreal, unclear, and like I have gone mad.

    Yes getting a second opinion might help, good luck with that

    Hello @Careyon

    Welcome to the community! :) How are you feeling today?

    Getting a second opinion sounds like a good idea. If you feel gluten is affecting your symptoms, maybe speaking to a Dietician could be beneficial too. We always recommend speaking to the medical professionals.

    Just to let you know, I popped your post into our Physical and Neurological section of the forum. Hoping more people can see and share their experiences with you. I also wondered if you had seen the website FND Action? They have lots of support pages.
