The blue and white squiggle is the recovery path for Functional Neurological Disorder. You get better over time but it’s a bit of a fluctuating process.
Hoping neurosymptons.org don’t mind me re-creating their science into wobbly craft. 😃 💜🧶

Today is FND Awareness day. I have FND and the best way I have found of explaining it to help people understand is that my brain and body sometimes struggle to communicate with each other. #Voices4FND

Dear Twitter followers,
Today it's FND Awareness Day! Functional Neurological Disorder is a genuine and disabling disorder. More recognition and awareness of FND is important. Traditionally abandoned, now there are endeavours ongoing to improve the outcomes for FND!

Great opportunity for colleagues to see the excellent Dr Allan Abbass present on @ISTDP for #FND - including a theoretical overview, how to identify when the treatment is indicated, & moment-to-moment analysis of it's application using video examples.

Would I have been #FNDAWARE had my own daughter been ravaged by the effects of it? No. And whilst I won’t ask you to watch as she repeatedly loses her memory, screams in pain and has seizures, I will ask you to check out neurosymptoms.org - Please.

Functional Neurological Disorder is a condition that affects how the brain/nervous system sends and receives messages through the body. A person can not consciously control these messages when they go wrong.
It's a disorder, not a decision.
