struggling with fnd as not being told much about it

[PrincesspreRaphaelit]

Yeah , I can totally relate .

I had never heard anything about it when I was told that my symptoms pointed to it .I was shocked when I saw it did not have a NHS page NICE says nothing

I hope these help and that you make sense of it.it was explained to me as a hardware software problem , like the computer is not damaged but the programming won’t work .

1.neurosymptoms.org( I don’t like this site but Dr suggested it ).

2 Reading the medical journals( I found they helped the most as I discovered what doctors think about it /see it as .)

3.FND was known as a conversion disorder Until 2013 so you can try looking up things about that it is also known as a psychosomatic disorder

However I would say that the medical journal stuff is quite abrasive and some are quite harsh So approach with caution

Hi estellelouise, I have FND. I was diagnosed with conversion disorder several years ago by a psychiatrist. Then again with FND last year by a neurologist. I have found that although the two names refer to the same condition, FND info is much more information and tends to explain it more in terms of being a neurological/psychiatric hybrid than a straight DSM-5 mental health disorder. I'm interested to know if others have had a similar experience. FNDhope.org has some really great information. I have figured out many coping skills but my condition seems to get better and worse without any rhyme or reason.
