@wilmslow I have tremors along with the FND.

I was taught to distract my brain when that happens. It’s very easy. When the tremors start, tap your thumb and index finger together on one hand. That’s it…

Thank you so very much for your suggestion. I was diagnosed in November of 2024 and your suggestion is the first practical suggestion/help I have received since that time. The only help I have received from the neurologists at the University of Louisville Neurology is to take 300mg of Gabapentin three times a day. I would appreciate it if you would share whatever other physical or mental direction you have been given during your therapy. Would you also be kind enough to tell me where you are receiving your therapy?
