Doctors published an article in a health journal about a possible treatment for FND that’s never been mentioned before. Here’s an excerpt:

(“The US Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency recently approved esketamine, the S-enantiomer of ketamine, for treatment of TRD. It is a fast-acting drug that provides a rapid-onset improvement of depressive symptoms. We have presented the first case, to our knowledge, of functional neurological symptoms being successfully treated with esketamine in a patient with comorbid TRD. While the novelty of this data implies a clear need for further research, it is suggested that esketamine might be a useful tool for the treatment of FND”)

…. If you read this whole article it’s says this esketamine nasal spray allows brain plasticity and increases the communication between neural pathways. Which that’s what FND is…that are brain signals are getting lost and confused and we need something that strengthens brain and nerve communication. Both of their patients have improved their FND.

Has anyone tried this? Does FND hope know about this?

Here’s the link journals.sagepub.com/doi/fu...

Glad you mentioned this. My daughter hasn't tried it, but we see the pain doctor soon. I'm going to ask her about it. Good luck!
