@X seems to be our downfall right now. We are just starting out within the charity industry, between us we have a lot of experience within the #FND community. We have tried reaching out to some organisations but maybe we are just being missed? Tag your friendly FND friends here

Great meeting with Franny Moene, whose RCTs on #Hypnosis for treating #FND are groundbreaking! 🙌

🌟 Words of wisdom from her:

1️⃣ Treat people with FND with respect—they’ve often faced mistreatment by the medical system.
2️⃣ FND is treatable for most with the right multidisciplinary care. Communicate #hope from the start.
3️⃣ Be empathetic & creative in your approach.
4️⃣ Communicate clearly, set goals, and respect limits.
5️⃣ Stay curious—learn from your patients. Their resilience & strategies are inspiring & invaluable. 💡

This has become very important within the FND community, without sleep this can have a departmental effect on the best of people, but then add in a neuroglial disorder you know where you will end up. I would just like to say thank you to @Brain_Tinkerer @NIRSlearn and @Siddk2802

[Abhijit Das @Brain_Tinkerer]

How important is #Sleep in #FND?

Plenty of @MorecambeFC fans will know @MatthewFND. He's a huge fan of the Shrimps and is on the board at the @shrimpstrust.

For years Matt has battled a little-known brain condition, and after being successfully treated, is now raising awareness of it.

Here's the story, and details of the organisation he's set up, @FndNorth, to support sufferers.

FND, or Functional Neurological Disorder, is a complex condition that can cause a range of symptoms including motor and sensory problems. It's often misunderstood, but raising awareness and understanding can make a big difference for those affected. #FND #Neurology #Awareness
