Do others experience symptoms like they are caused by lack-of-sleep but has been confirmed as a result of FND?I'm beginning to relate to the symptoms, but I'm still unsure whether they are simply down to insomnia and poor sleep due to Tinnitus 24/7. A lot of it could easily be related to Ménières, which I haven't ruled out, listening fatigue. However, the more I read about FND or Ménières symptoms etc. , Im starting to be swayed towards FND. Maybe I'm convincing myself biased, and this is the generally causing my ongoing uncertainty and anxiety. I'm still awaiting a follow up / EEG with the neurologist.The symptoms I mainly suffer are concentration issues, exhaustion and fatigue, a lot of the time. Generally I feel my brain is in a ‘fog’, with a range of forgetfulness and finding the right words. These symptoms certainly l appear more common with FND rather than anything else, I think. I'd feel happy to be corrected.
So, if my symptoms are due to FND, the symptoms are certainly worse if I don't sleep. However, I'm not sure if they cause or contribute to insomnia. And/or increased my anxiety and sensitivity to Tinnitus.
I've suffered from insomnia/poor sleep but I've not felt bad like this and I can't necessarily relate the feelings dizziness/nausea to poor sleep.
I hope that makes sense and I look forward to any shared experiences
Many thanks in advance 👍

Yes I have got FND and I know for a fact that my memory and concentration is badly affected by it, I don't want to talk to people because I can't find my words I could also be in the middle of talking about something and my mind will go completely blank and I can't remember what I was talking about, even if someone tries to remind of what I was saying I still can't remember what I was trying to say.I really hate this part of the condition I get very embarrassed.The way I've explained it is my head just feels as though it's empty.I also get chronic fatigue if I talk for a period of time or if someone is constantly talking to me, it certainly causes me anxiety.
Meant to say I also suffer from the dizziness very badly and the nausea, I have got a lot of FND symptoms including problems with swallowing, you can develop different symptoms at any time.
the emiotional regulation highlighted by the authors Wiebe, S. T., Cassoff, J., & Gruber, R. (2012).
Pain, anxiety, depression are sleep deprivation factors.
It’s up to you to consult a psychiatrist to help you manage your FND so exhausting and often out of control. I do it for myself in a systemic aspect. Do people around me support me or do their lack of compassion and stigma behaviours exacerbate my symptoms?
Everyone is different is different with FND I have read stories about people that have got help from various resources and it hasn't helped I have also heard of people that it has helped.I don't understand the last part of your message and also I'm seeing a psychiatrist.Good luck with your journey.
From Greenbeens please excuse the mistake at the top of the above message it's due to poor concentration, didn't notice it until after message was sent.OOPS
Sorry but I don't seem to understand the way that you put things when talking about FND, I seem to understand other people's posts so I will leave it at that.
