“It’s all in your head.”
If you’ve heard that, I’m sorry. Those words hurt.
April is FND Awareness Month. Orange is the colour.
Functional Neurological Disorder is a disorder of brain functioning—a “software” issue—that can look like epilepsy, stroke, Parkinson’s, and more. Symptoms can be visible (jerking, shaking, weakness) or invisible (brain fog, fatigue). It’s not imagined. It’s real. And it’s treatable.
If you or someone you love has unexplained neurological symptoms, you’re not alone. There is hope. Recovery is possible. You’ve got this.
