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.

I'm not sure it would be worth my time and effort. He even corrected me when I said "FND", to "FMD", but I wasn't going to argue with him. I could tell he had an ego problem, and I suspect he would have problems with a woman speaking up to him. Once I get the results of the tests he has ordered, I will transfer to the Dr I originally wanted to see in this group. This Dr has an excellent reputation, but I'm not crazy about his attitude. But, thanks! But, it just sets me back in accepting the Dx of FND. I know the onset of my involuntary body movement was not caused by stress or a need for attention, and this is what so many people think, including many Drs.
