Joints locking, limbs trembling, body tics. One at a time or all at once.
And lastly cognitive effects, short term memory, difficulty speaking, and my eyes become painful. That's the thing all my symptoms are predominantly on my right side.
I'm always in pain. #FunctionalNeurologicalDisorder
If you’ve never heard of FND before, you’re not alone.
It’s more common than people realize and widely misunderstood.
I’ll be breaking it down here over time.

#FND numbness is real, scary, and exhausting - but it is a known symptom, and people deserve support, not dismissal!
#FunctionalNeurologicalDisorder
People with #FunctionalNeurologicalDisorder can experience numbness, tingling, pins & needles, or loss of sensation - even when scans and tests come back "normal."
That's because in #FND, the issue isn't damage to the nerves... it's the brain and body communication glitching.
Not all tremors are the same. Understanding the difference between physiologic and functional tremor is key to getting the right treatment and real relief. 🧠✋

If all that fails within 2 hours, I go to the hospital, where I will receive a shot of Toridol (like super-ibuprofen) and more Zofran. That usually resolves the issue.
I'm on step 2. 🫡

Big or small, every victory counts. Drop a win in the comments. It can be one grounding moment, one small success, or even just a breath of relief. Let’s support those small victories and cheer each other on!

A flier describing the symptoms of FND including muscle convulsions, fatigue, and lack of motor function
A second flier describing what I do to help get through my recovery (does NOT contain medical advice, only a hobby I like)
FND is something very real in my day-to-day life on top of my legal blindness and I wanted to share what it's like.
