FND patient since November 2021. It is my intention to advocate for greater research into understanding and eventually better treating FND.

[Kev_FND @Kev_FND]

The past year and a half have been the most difficult of my life. Having Functional Neurological Disorder has been hell. If you're suffering too or know someone who is let's work together to fight for more research into understanding and treating FND.

“I was diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder and discharged from neurology with just the name of a website”. Every single day, for the past 4,482 days, at least 1 person reaches out because of being abandoned. #Neurology you must do better. The #nhs must fund more. #FND

If you're living with FND, you already know how powerful - and changeable - the brain can be.. The good news is, with the right tools and support, real progress is possible.

We share lots of tips that help retrain your brain - from small daily techniques to mindset shifts.

FND is real. It’s challenging. But there is hope.
If you’re in the middle of it right now, please know that things can change. Progress might be slow, and it might not look how you expected—but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

@gar_mcguigan @Oldboatie @Springer_Med Thank you for pushing back on the outdated nonsense that still persists in the medical community surrounding FND. It is extremely distressing for us patients.

[amanda hall @mandydr04]

I am extremely proud of our @FNDFrieNDsUK team and what we are achieving here in the Southwest, a perfect #FND Awareness Day with a huge thank you to @jonstoneneuro for your amazing talk and our wonderful OT Ruth. 😁we are definitely stronger together.

[Kev_FND @Kev_FND]

@KH118118 @FndPortal I hope both of you stay this is a much larger platform than others like it. It would be a shame to cede it to the many FND deniers. You can always post on more platform than one please don’t delete your accounts.

[Kev_FND @Kev_FND]

@FndPortal Please stick around both

[FND Portal - is no longer on X @FndPortal]

One policy I’ve adopted on X, which helps a lot, is any time someone uses “Functional Neurological Disorder” as a joke or insult, I block immediately. No conversation, no second chances. There’s a minimum standard of civility 👍

[Kev_FND @Kev_FND]

@drpaulwinston @FndPortal Thank you for being a good Dr.

[Alexandra Touroutoglou @TouroutoglouA]

Excited to share our first case that shows noninvasive brain stimulation can improve communication and enhance brain function in the aphasic variant of #Alzheimers
Special thanks to the patient and the patient's family who participated and the amazing team of co-authors.

[Kev_FND @Kev_FND]

@NeguineR @TouroutoglouA Great job!

Dr. Alexander Lehn breaks down functional movement disorders; what is happening in the brain, what are the potential risk factors and what future treatments and clinical trials we have to look forward to. https://t.co/jPPIcOs2Qq

[FND Ireland @FndIreland]

We had our first in person FND peer support meeting in Cork last Friday. A BIG THANK YOU to all those who attended and shared their experience of living with FND. Thanks to @Corkcoco for their support in providing our meeting space. 💚🧡

Predictive processing is a much more helpful model for understanding #FND than the one sided, simplistic & purely psychological models of the past -
