My FND Recovery

Hi, My name is Ciara Moran and this is my FND recovery story. I created this video to show others, struggling with FND, that recovery is possible. I share what works for me and encourage others to find what works for them.
In 2016 I had FND symptoms for more days than I had without symptoms. However, with my daily self care routine, I have only had 1 issue in the last 12 months which lasted 5 days. This is a huge difference and I will share the changes I incorporated into my life to achieve this and to live really well.
The books I mentioned in the above video are as follows:
Dare by Barry McDonagh
The Highly Sensitive Person Book by Elaine N. Aron
Another book that helped me considerably, but I didn't mention it in the video, is as follows:
Self Compassion by Kristin Neff
If you are considering introducing daily yoga into your self-care routine you might like the following yoga videos:
• Gentle Everyday Yoga ...
• Yoga for FND | Yoga fo...
If you are struggling with your FND diagnosis and would like to organise a 1:1 zoom gentle yoga class with me, to develop a bespoke yoga practice for your needs, please contact me at [e-mail]. I might not get back to you the same day, but I promise I will reply to your email.
Lots of Love and best wishes on your road to FND recovery,
Ciara

Thanks for sharing your recovery story! I agree with all of your points. They have been important in my recovery also.

Thank you for sharing. My daughter was diagnosed with FND with seizures/attacks. Gone to neurologist and psychiatrist and on and on. Hoping we can find something that can work for her. Nice to know she is not alone. Thank you 🙏

[@ciarashomeyoga1922]

Thanks for your comment. Recovery can take time which is really frustrating. In the meantime, I hope your daughter is doing ok with her diagnosis and symptoms. Cx

[@amybissett5206]

Thank you so much for sharing! It is so good to hear about your journey to recovery. I think I especially needed to just show some compassion for my nervous system today. I have been using a combination of yoga nidra, medication, physio and supplements which have had quite significant changes in a short amount of time. Also actively listing to my body to understand how I got so bad. I have known I am HSP for a long time and your video helping me really embrace that as an extension of this so I can stay mindful when symptoms do flare up rather than worrying. Thank you

[@ciarashomeyoga1922]

Hi Amy, listening to our bodies is the only way. 💛When I got symptoms in the past I always ask myself ‘what is my body trying to tell me?’ and it’s usually to slow down. I used to try to do everything and do it all perfectly. Society gives us the impression that be worthy we have to be constantly achieving, successful and looking good. It’s no wonder our nervous systems get overworked! However, knowing that our worth comes from our ability to look after ourselves, we can choose to live differently. I hope you take this recovery time to really nourish yourself. And ask yourself ‘what would nourish me today?’. Daily self care can make all the difference. I’m delighted to hear you found some things that work for you too. I love yoga nidra too!! Thank you so much for letting me know you enjoyed the video. Take care, Cx

Hi Ciara, i have been having struggles with suspected FND i have gound yoga to be definitely helpful.. im still struggling however.. have to take nerve pain killers every day but managing a lot better atm.. thanks for sharing your story with everyone.

[@ciarashomeyoga1922]

You are very welcome.

[@oogabooga590]

Thank you very much for this video. I look forward to following you and trying out the yoga. I would like to hear your views on how to keep the balance and calm when under pressure of children and work. Thank you.

[@ciarashomeyoga1922]

I would just recommend prioritising rest & relaxation, whatever that means to you. It’s hard to do but it is possible. Even 10 minutes of breathwork every day can be balancing. For me I lowered my standards from perfect to ‘good enough’ to make time for myself. Winnicotts ‘good enough’ parenting was refreshing to learn and helped me a lot. Hope that helps. Glad you liked the video. Ciara

[@andywebb1000]

thanks for your video. I have gone from specialist to specialist since being hit in the head by a wave in May 2013. I have had so many different diagnosis from every different doctor I have seen. I have had so much medication and now my last neurologist says It was not appropriate. One doctor said I had myoclonic seizures due to spinal damage ( may 2019) the last said it was FND ( May 2021 ). I love section / part 2 just accepting symptoms,

[@ciarashomeyoga1922]

I hear you there Andy. I was 10 years before I got my diagnosis and then had to figure out my recovery myself. I hope you got something from the video and wishing you every success in your recovery. Thanks for watching, C

[@mirian8613]

Tk you for your video. It has been challenged to find recovery support from the health system because there is not a program that help outpatient

[@ciarashomeyoga1922]

You are very welcome. I had the same experience…little guidance from the health system and I had to figure out my recovery for myself. It’s not easy. I found the neurosymptoms.org website helpful. Best wishes, C
