They might be COMMON, but mundane? Sounds like a comment from someone who hasn't had a migraine (or cluster headache) or cared for someone who had a stroke or dementia (as a carer or family member, not a doctor who gets to walk away after ten minutes).
And epilepsy, if uncontrolled, causes brain damage - very mundane.

Never. I don't know what goes through peoples' heads when they think like that - and FND is so life changing I wouldn't even wish it upon them for there ignorance.
My neurologist told me a severe bleed on the brain would not be seen by him as a medical emergency having spent a week on a stroke ward and then offered brain surgery to remove the cavernoma that caused the bleed...oh and then they diagnosed
me with FND!!!
