Advice and Information needed!

[Kimberley88]

Hi my name is Kim, I'm 29 years old

and have been diagnosed with NFD and a combination of foot Dystonia.

I understand Dystonia can be a symptom of NFD,

It has taken my 6 years to get the right diagnosis and recently started a treatment plan over a year ago.

But I'm struggling still to cope living with these conditions and how to adapt my lifestyle dramatically.

I do not have a lot of family support , so I'm hoping from writing this post I can speak to others who may have the same illnesses or can maybe relate in some way with me .

I take daily medication, not very nice with the side effects and have been having CBT therapy alongside with Neuro Physio at my local

hospital which helps me the most.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post, I would be so grateful for someone to give me advice or information on NFD and any coping strategies

Hi Kim and welcome. Dystonia can be a symptom of FND and it does seem like the feet are commonly affected. Glad to hear you have a treatment plan in place. If you feel comfortable, perhaps you would like to share what help you are getting and how/whether it has helped you?
