Functional tremors: Anyone had this?

I was diagnosed with FND this year by a motion specialist. He did a DATSCAN to rule out Parkinson. I have severe tremors in my left hand and intermittent left side face twitching. I am taking an anti seizure medication Primidone 2x a sat which helps some. I also had botox injections in my left hand and wrist which stopped the tremors but I have lost total weakness and inability to to use my hand. It was told it would wear off but it has been over a month. I personally would never do it again.

I’m so sorry. I had inquired about Botox as well. I was hoping to treat my migraines which are a big trigger for my functional movement disorder. Have you tried any nerve blocking medication? I find that it helps me a bit.
Best of luck to you!
