💡 What if #FunctionalSeizures are a key to improving care for all seizure disorders—#epileptic & functional?
In this @EpilepsiaJourn opinion paper we argue that functional seizures are a key to a more holistic approach in #epilepsy clinic🧠

Thanks to those young people living with FND who attended this @Futureneuro_ie creative workshop and shared what life is like with functional seizures.💚 🧡

🎨 Last week we hosted Seizures and Me at @RCSI_Irl — a creative workshop where young people explored life with seizures through art & storytelling. Thank you to everyone who took part. We're proud to support projects that bring new perspectives to life with brain conditions.

Three seizures in one day
Using tricks like breathing and distraction
Words from docs and words from doubts
The mind hums with the dark sounds clanging inside of my brain
(To the tune of "Four Seasons in One Day by Crowded House)

What’s a pain flare? Well, the pain gets so high that it causes in-and-out hours and days of #functionalseizures and memory loss episodes. She will come round, ask where she is, who I am, what’s wrong with her, if she is dying, if she is safe. 5/14

How common is migraine in FND? His experience: super common through not many studies, in reverse, not many studies either. Can migraine trigger FND and vice-versa? Yes! Just as #functionalseizures can be triggered by migraine.

A brilliant presentation by @jonstoneneuro on Migraine & FND and what they can learn from each other. As two of the commonest conditions in Neurology, clearly there’s a lot - there’s also an overlap between #functionalseizures & other #functionaldisorders
So a few things:
