Yes, I was Dx'd with FND. My Dr said that in the past, it was considered completely psychological, but neurologists have changed their thinking in recent years and feel that it is a problem with the brain communicating with the central nervous system. But, the idea that he might possibly think that I psychologically was causing my problem to get attention w as just too daunting for me. If he knew me, he would know that attention is not what I want. Quite the opposite. In fact, I don't talk to anyone about it and I keep to myself as much as possible because of the disorder. My symptom is my body moves from side to side, affecting my balance and walking. It feels like I am standing in a boat on the water, and it drives me crazy. He wanted me to do physical therapy with a specialist trianed specifically for FND, but I couldn't do it. Not with the possibility that she may think also that I am somehow causing this myself. I have thought about going back to him again because I am having probems falling again, but so far I haven't been able to get myself to go. How are you affected by FND and how was it explained to you? Was physical therapy with a specialist recommended? I would love to converse on this subject because I haven't found anyone else with FND.
