very worried about a possible diagnosis of Parkison's

[ceramic]

so I am hoping that forward head posture when walking could be a symptom of FND?

I have got problems with walking on my heels as well, because I have lost the ability to lift my feet up, i walk on the balls of my feet which is tiring and very uncomfortable

I don't know anything but I do so hope you find answers and peace.

Hey how long has your symptoms being going on May I ask ? Are you in the UK?

Has your GP referred you to any specialists ? Hope you are having a slightly better day today too.

[ceramic in reply to Lucy-15]

my walking symptoms have been going on for 6 years, my other symptoms for decades, yes i am in the uk and yes he has referred me to a specialist which is why i am seeing a neurologist tomorrow, and why I am so full of fear.

I AM sorry, i haven't got the energy at the moment to properly introduce myself, but I will asap...

Hi

Thank you for your reply

We shall be thinking of you tomorrow.

Do keep in touch ... I have walking issues too a left leg I loose control of especially when tired. Then when my back spasms kick in as well, struggle put my heel down on that same leg....... So it rang a bell

It takes a long time, sometime

Eh ...to eliminate lots of various disorders as some have overlapping symptoms... but try to stay as positive as possible.

I was diagnosed with FND about 6 years ago too and have tried nerve pain type drugs etc and now my Neurologist is trying a Parkinson's tablet to see if this eases any of the many symptoms !

We will see eh ! Take care

be aware of the side effects, google t hem...

I saw the neurologist who said that all my symptoms could be caused by trauma, but that FND diagnosis is a diagnosis of elimination and so I agreed to have the dAT Scan, which will be in a few weeks time, and a few more weeks after that to get the results.

he also said that he was investigating me for a Parkinsonian Disorder and has referred me for neurophysiotherapy. All this means more months of terrible anxiety...
