Pleased to meet you @RhiannonThompson96.
I also have FND, it is still a grey area even though a lot is being done to bring more awareness about it. I have mobility problems, and non epileptic seizures.. How are you now the Christmas decorations are down ? Sorry I didn't post earlier .. ?

Welcome to the community @sam_tex20
How have you found FND? I know it can sometimes take a while to get a diagnosis.Scope -
@Chloe_Scope it took 7 years to get a diagnoses. It's been a Rough journey, lots of accusations of me faking and lots of name calling all happening from teachers who never believed me which sucked. once I moved to college tho they where much more accepting and understanding and willing to help support me, I got my diagnoses in September of chronic migraine syndrome(causes extreme vertigo and Complete/partial vision loss multiple times a week) chronic daily headache syndrome( when I don't have a migraine I always have a headache) and FND/NEAD- which was a major break through in the way i now know it wasn't all just fake and in my head. I'm now waiting to see a neuro-phsycologist who i was told would be a 2 year wait which has now been extended to a 3 year wait due to the Covid-19 pandemic. so now we know whats wrong we have started a treatment plan to try help to control and manage symptoms and flair ups.

That must have been so hurtful when you weren't believed @sam_tex20! I imagine it was a real relief to have some answers. FND is very real and I'm glad the college is more accepting.
Have you heard of FND Hope? They have loads of resources that can help.Scope
