There is hope for those of us with FND/FMD.
I have been receiving both physical, and mental therapy. They go hand in hand for this disorder.

I had responded to your post a few days ago, but I don't see it on the site, so I will try to repeat what I said earlier. I really appreciate your suggestion on how to cope with tremors/uncontrolled movements. Yours is the first concrete suggestion on how to cope since I was first diagnosed. The only direction I received from the neurologists at the University of Louisville medical center is to take 300mg of Gabapentin 3 times a day. It does help control the movements, but not so much with the stuttering and startle response. You say you are receiving treatment, and I would ask if you would be kind enough to tell me more about the treatment and which medical facility you are attending. Again, I really appreciate you reaching out to me.
