I have Functional Movement Disorder, fibromyalgia, fatigue and problems with my bowels, bladder & prolapse and also depression. I am 34 and for the past 3.5 years been really quite bad which has resulted in me loosing my job, drivers license, etc. My neurologist has actually linked all the problems which I had previously, stomach problems resulting in ops and disabling pregnancies, were it took me 3 years on cruntchies to get over my 2nd pregnancy which was the worst of my 3, and neurological problem back to when I was around 21. I find life really difficult at times and still struggle to accept I'm no longer who I used to be. My saving grace are my children who keep me pushing on through each day, they are aware of my difficulties and realise I am limited nowadays on what I can do.
