FND is NOT FAKING IT

[Lady4]

Sharing this image of brain scans which shows what was happening in an FND patient's brain during symptoms (on the right), against the scan on the left where they were asked to try to replicate (feign) the symptoms when not present.

If your GP doesn't believe you, show them this:

Hi, trying to locate original study.

Wow, Lady4…you always find the most interesting information. Can you link the article where you found this photo?

I would dare say that most of our doctors have never seen such and are completely unaware.

Hi, it was shared with me as part of a presentation, I think I have found the study it related to but need to clarify.

HiI'm extremely interested aswell. That instant dismissal from ignorance, feeling of rejection is a real issue for most of us. Anything to help eradicate this attitude would be a blessing.

Good luck in trying to find the documents

Thanks, what I can't get is that the image is from research done in 2009.

Hi, so an update as promised: This is the article but just an abstract, its not a free publication its behind a membership. Maybe another member has full access (and can screenshot it) 😉:

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/367...

I will try and email the author, I can't do it from my mobile but will try from my laptop (ie it didn't copy email address).
