Thought I’d share this quote from an article in Medpage Today, “Vaccine Effect or Functional Neurological Disorder? — COVID vaccination may trigger FND, much like other stressors.”

"Correlation does not imply causation," Espay told MedPage Today. "If neurological symptoms following vaccination are determined to be functional during a neurological exam, then the vaccination can only be considered a stressor or precipitant, much like any other stressor might, such as a motor vehicle accident or sleep deprivation."

I suppose that falling on the street and experiencing neuropathy closely thereafter could be called a stressor too. But accidents can’t always be avoided, whereas, vaccinations can, and certainly should be, for a medical reason. And, obviously physicians are not aware of the neurological disorders that may be due to the “stresses” the Covid vaccine have on some people. So, at least if the potential vaccine stressor was better acknowledged, maybe physicians and researchers could provide those of us impacted with guidance on diagnosis and treatment.
