I'm new here!

Hi, my name is p6princess83. I'm here because I'm diagnosed with FND depression and complex ptsd
as much as it sucks I'm glad to see there's a place that others struggling with the same things as me can help learn and guide one another#MightyTogether #Anxiety #Depression

I’m new here!

Hi, my name is BethanyChambers. I’m based in Brisbane QLD and I have been permanently disabled with chronic pain since 2012 when a hernia repair operation destroyed my world. I am now fighting for my life due to 3x hernia mesh attaching to my organs and intestines. I will be undergoing a full abdominal reconstruction and mesh removal surgery in July. I will be cut from sternum to groin and hip to hip to allow access to the many titanium tacks and mesh migrated under my right ribs.

Sure would be nice if the disability social network had anything about FND. Instead, I joined this place and now feel like it’ll just as dismissive…

Are theories allowed here? Hopefully they are :-)

Is it possible that FND is caused by your brain needing to adapt to something in your life But it backfired? Since You yourself weren't exactly aware of what was going on in your brain or what needs adapting, your brain created a disconnect from your body trying to adapt.

FND Service Dog

I have Functional Nuerological Disorder which causes non-epileptic seizures, paralysis episodes, blackouts, walking weakness/instability, muscle spasms, vision impairments, hearing loss, tics, and more.
Would you recommend a service dog?
Already have 55 lb St. Berdoodle (female) with much potential. She is well trained and alerts to my symptoms and seizures, as well as responding through DPT.

FND Service Dog #ChronicIllness #question

I have Functional Nuerological Disorder. My symptoms include: non-epileptic seizures, paralysis episodes, going unconscious, walking instability/weakness, no peripheral vision, lower hearing, muscle spasms, tics, and dissaciation.

Would you recommend a service dog?
No other treatment other than mild therapy. It is a chronic, incurable illness.
