TN or FND ??

[Warrior50]

Happy New Year to you all 🥳🎊 Let’s hope that 2020 is a better year for us all!

I was diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia just over 16 years ago after many, many tests, doctors, specialists, trials, appointments, etc. I don’t know very much about FND, if one of you lovely people wouldn’t mind, I’d really like some info on it please?? xx

Most of us are given little medical information, just told 'FND' and to look at a website: neurosymptoms.org.

Other than that most of us are just comparing symptoms here, there are so many things are covered by the umbrella term 'FND' and many of us are unconvinced that the medical community believe us when we complain of our symptoms.

I expect you don't feel as though you get much help with something as painful as Trigeminal Neuralgia - but you have an established disease diagnosis that is recognised and has a list of possible management options, something all of us heartily wish we had.
