My fnd journey

Hi, everyone I wanted to share my story.

It all started in 2016, when I was walking then all of a sudden I collasped, to the floor I tried to move, but my whole body would shake uncontrollabley. I was completely paralyzed from head to toe. I tried to talk but no words were coming out. I straight away got rushed to hosiptal and was admitted onto the ward. They thought I was having a mini stroke. I stayed in hospital for one week. And the neurologist told me that it will never happen again. That was the beginning of my fnd journey.

I carried on living my life as normal, like their was nothing wrong with me. Then slowly but gradually I started to deteriorate. I went from being able to walk, talk and move to being in a wheelchair, unable to speak, paralyzed, and having multiple sezuires a day. My life completely changed.

I kept going back and forth to the doctors, as I knew something was seriously wrong. And I kept getting the same answer, you will be okay, just rest. They kept saying I had viral infections, and were giving me antibiotics. Until the constant visits to the doctors and being persistent finally worked. And I was referred to Queens Square, and that was where I finally got answers and a diagnosis which was Functional Neurological Disorder.
