FND or Dementia

Does anybody else spend Hours googling Symptoms and convince themselves they have something far more serious than FND?

I am so worried that my Doctor, Neurologist and Psychiatrist have missed something and my Symptoms mirror some form of Dementia. It doesn't help that Dementia is sometimes misdiagnosed as FND, Depression, Stress, Anxiety and OCD.

Just looking for some reassuring Words really.

Thanks

Stephen

Yes, I think we all Google as half the time doctors don't take you seriously, I know there are good ones, I have one, but even then, they are constricted by time and info themselves. I don't believe half of what is written, as you can get completely different answers depending on how you phrase the question. Its good to have knowledge, but I try not to borrow worry, I don't think what might happen as it usually doesn't. But that is just me. My gp wanted to do more tests, I said why chase butterflies?? I've had all the tests, very comprehensive, plus the cost, we are on a pension and my husband has bad health problems. It has given me strength to face what I am coping with right now. I do hope you find peace to cope. Go ahead and Google, just don't believe everything. Keep fighting.

Not what you're looking for?
