#FNDandUS

We think it's amazing that Natasha was able to re-learn to walk with the right help and support and this video explains how determined Natasha was. We know that FND can potentially be reversible,
Myth 9: The prognosis of FND is usually good. No! Patients with FND have disability and impaired quality of life as patients with other neuro conditions. Some have complete recovery, others long term problems. Don't just assume, ‘the patient will probably just get better’.

I got diagnosed with FND last fall, and was sent home in a wheelchair also. I couldn’t get PT where I live, but I refused to just sit around and do nothing. So I started playing around with my movements and just doing whatever I could, no matter how small or how brief or how many times I fell, and it just kept getting better and better, until I could walk and run again unaided. Stress management (mental and physical) has been HUGE for me - too much of either and the symptoms slowly started to creep back in again. I am so happy and so proud of you for taking those steps and not giving up on yourself. FND can come and go, but if it has taught me anything, it’s that it doesn’t have to be forever and I CAN get through it and get back on track whenever it does reoccur. Life looks different sometimes, but it doesn’t have to be a bad thing. It taught me that I can overcome even the craziest of obstacles if I set my mind to it, and never to give up on myself. I am stronger, healthier, and more confident in myself NOW because of my FND journey - and I wouldn’t trade that for anything. It taught me to pace myself, and respect my stress limits - taught me how to say no, and to start taking my health and well-being more seriously. Thinking my life was over when it happened has also given me a much greater appreciation for the new life and motivation I have found today. I hope your journey continues to go well for you and produces as much good fruit and personal growth for you as mine has for me. 🤗
