Has anyone had to deal with a functional neurological disorder?

Welcome to Mayo Connect!
It must be very upsetting to watch your granddaughter suffer.
I personally don’t know anyone with a functional neurological disorder but I have heard from someone with a close relative diagnosed with it.
However it presents the person cannot control what’s happening. It can be the body’s protective response to something very stressful that happened or is happening.
All testing is normal.
Therapy is usually the treatment.
I hope your granddaughter gets back to normal soon.

I have just been diagnosed with this. This explains a lot of symptoms going on with me. It has taken a year to get a name to my symptoms and episodes, I call them. I'd like to make an appointment but I'm not sure how I'd get there in Mayo. I did have a phone consult today. I guess I will have to see what's next.
Thank you.
