I was diagnosed with FND one month before this video was posted. I have a lot of trouble walking. These stories are inspiring. Thank you, sir!

Hey, I'm 13 years old and at the end of March I got diagnosed with this disorder it is horrible for 5 weeks I battled this disorder giving it my all and then I finally stood up they thought I had Guillian-Barre syndrome or MS ( Multiple Sclerosis ) that night was terrifying but I got through it all I have to say is fight through it as hard as you can

I am also 13 and got diagnosed with fnd yesterday, we aren't very sure when I developed it, and I can walk just some difficulties, we're looking into pt, and I also struggle with joint and back pains which we are also looking into, it's reassuring that another person my age is experiencing the same thing, Jesus loves you and we'll get through it!

Just came across your video. Thank you for sharing your story. I have FND, but I deal with the subset called Functional Movement Disorder. I have some good days and times that I relapse because I have a an ongoing rare type of migraine. I keep working towards a full remission, and your story inspired me! Thank you 😊

I was just diagnosed with with FND but I have hEDS, MCAD, POTS, and syringomyelia amoung other things. I was listening to experts in MCAD and they said it is often misdiagnosed as FND. Im not sure what to believe but I'm so overwhelming tired and always in such terrible chronic pain. Ive been crying nonstop sence getting the diagnosis.
