Do you live with an invisible disability or invisible chronic illness? If you do, please add a “raised hand” reaction, and, if you are comfortable to do so, please share your condition or disability in the comments section below to let others living with the condition know that they are not alone.

I have been to the FND clinic at the Austin (public hospital) and the one at the Epworth (private hospital). The Austin in my experiences was great at confirming my neurologist's hypothesis that I had FND, and is a good check-in, but I am excited for the Austin which offers an 8-week program for eligible people, and I have been enrolled. Bit nervous, but has anyone else had any similar experiences?

INVISIBLE DISABILITIES ARE REAL!
Just because you can’t see visible signs of chronic illness or disability does NOT mean that they don’t exist. Nor does it mean that they are imagined, fake, or “all in your head”.

This week – Invisible Disabilities Week – is an opportunity to raise awareness, further understanding, and provide support to all those living with invisible disabilities.
As someone who lives with invisible disabilities, including Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and Ehler-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), I understand the importance of raising awareness of invisible disabilities and the challenges experienced by individuals living with such disabilities.
Please know that if you are living with an invisible disability, and the challenges that go with it, you are not alone in your struggles.

Continuing with my 5 myths vs facts about Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), here is myth 4 of 5:
MYTH: FND only affects women in early to mid-adulthood. FACT: FND can affect people of any age, gender, or ethnicity. Although FND is more common in females and their symptoms often appear in adolescence to early adulthood, FND also affects males and symptoms can develop in childhood.

MYTH: FND is a new and recently discovered condition. FACT: FND has been a recognised condition for thousands of years, being first recognised around 1900BC. FND has been known by various names, including Hysteria and Conversion Disorder, before the name changed to Functional Neurological Disorder in the early 2000s.
