Thanks Celia - I think my neurologist is a bit behind in research unfortunately. He mentioned that this will be only temporary, but from my reading it may not be.

I"m so grateful to have found this group 🙂

I tend to ask myself if every symptom I have is functional in nature. I believe in it that much. Both of my parents have it, so I’m predisposed. I only hope it that’s what I have I’ll get relief eventually.

And, yes, this is a great group!

@katej the first doctor who recognized FMD told me it would go away on its own. I have had this for over three years now and it has become manageable with proper treatment. It has never disappeared.
