Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)

My son, a former patient of the Mayo Clinic, tried to get an appointment at the Mayo Clinic through the Neurology Department, the Internal Medicine Department and a 3rd Department that slips my mind at this point, We suspect he has FND and has been struggling with it since 2019 after graduating with his PhD from NYU. He was diagnosed with FND initially by a neurologist specializing in muscle disorders because he now cannot walk. We wanted to get a confirmatory diagnosis at Mayo, because of his respect for the Clinic, but our 3 tries to get him in were unsuccessful. At the recommendation of a Neurologist specializing in sleep disorders and non-epileptic seizures we took him to Robert Woods Johnson's med school neurology department. They concurred but could not identify anyone in the New Jersey-New York area that specializes in FND and could help us. As he continues to go down his rabbit hole we are desperate to find someone that can help us.

Have you tried to contact the Cleveland clinic? They have been very helpful in my diagnosis and treatment plan.
Best of luck to him!
