I got sick in Sept. and was diagnosed in Nov. with FND. I am currently in therapy-PT,OT and speech therapy. Has anyone else had a speech component to FND?

Hi. Speech issues is one of my major issues with fnd. I have an app on my phone that helps me to communicate. Works well.

That’s really good to know. What is the app called? I hope you are improving. I’m from Chicago. Where do you live?

I am in Canada. The app is called Speech Assistant. It costs about $10 total. Unfortunately, I am getting worse, but then not getting any help from specialist s. Physio is good, I found that chiropractic has helped the most. It doesn't seem to last long. But from what I understand there is damage to my brain stem. Of course nothing that doctors ever made note of. Anyway, try the app it works great and you can program in phrases!
