Update, the MCI diagnosis I got several years ago has not changed. I’m still doing well most of the time.

The Ataxia diagnosis was not correct. I was instead diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder FND. That has given me all sorts of physical problems. It’s not a brain disease.

If I'm not mistaken that's what I have, too. FND is a part of the CSS umbrella (Central Sensitization Syndromes).

Either way, it's a lot to take in and manage. But it can be so helpful to know what it is so we can work with it, rather than against it.

Were you diagnosed at Mayo?
