Hi @ayomide76 - Welcome to this very friendly & helpful community, 'tho I'm sorry to read about you having FND. I hope my friend the spiceman's advice & links will help you. Our GP's knowledge of some disorders is sometimes sadly lacking. There are others here with FND, I've noticed recently.The only other thing I might add, in case you haven't come across it, is FND Hope UK, which is part of an international charity for those with FND. See: https://www.fndhope.org/who-we-are/fnd-hope-uk/ The more resources you have, the better! Sometimes this can lead to a referral that may better help you.Please come here & chat any time; it will always be good to hear from you.
