Hi,

Prof Edwards told me that FND can happen more to people who know someone with it. I think that's probably because people with FND can see it in other people or people are more aware if they have come across it before. They are likely to have a proper diagnosis rather than being mis-labeled as chronic fatigue with "funny symptoms" as one doctor told me - with a straight face too.

As for families, in my humble opinion, I think that there may be a higher risk within families if there are bowel issues, vitamin deficiencies, migraine etc and of course an abuser/s in the family. So there may be a case that there may be have a higher risk through shared factors, but not in itself genetic.

Make sense? Just a humble opinions from a sufferer. Time will tell.

Spastic Disorder is what I think Chaz meant.
