I have posted before about my FND/FMD Dx and how it doesn't set right with me because of the pshychosomatic insinuations. Well, today's experience was no help. I went to a new neurologist to be the one who follows my other neurological problems. I told him that the FND was being followed by a movement specialist, and he said, "you need to see a psychiatrist for that condition"! Tbis is what I mean, and it has me going all over again. I know that my involuntary body movement is not a psychiatric condition, and responses like this make me just feel like giving up on getting help. It makes me very embarrassed and humiliated to tell someone I have FMD/FND.

Can you ask the Movement Specialist to write to the neurologist and explain what the treatment he is giving you? Perhaps that will subtly let the neuro know that there's more out there than psychiatry for FND.
