April is . Functional Neurological Disorder is REAL — even when every brain scan comes back normal.

I waited 10 years for a diagnosis. 10 years of being told nothing was wrong. 10 years of symptoms that were dismissed, misdiagnosed, and misunderstood.

FND doesn't look the same in everyone. It can show up as weakness, tremors, functional seizures, speech changes, cognitive fog, dizziness — or all of the above. And almost none of it shows up on a standard MRI.
That's not proof it isn't real. That's what makes it so hard to diagnose.

These slides walk through the symptoms I wish I had known to bring to my doctor — including what to say, what to log, and how to advocate for yourself in the room.

If you're navigating the system right now, you are not alone. 🎗️

🧡 April is . Functional Neurological Disorder is REAL — even when brain scans look normal. FND affects how the brain sends/receives signals, causing physical symptoms like weakness, tremors, and seizures.

It's the 2nd most common reason people see a neurologist, yet most have never heard of it. 🧠

🙏 Heartfelt thanks to Naomi Kojokaro for sharing her story. Naomi is the author of the memoir "Better Than Yesterday," a powerful account of healing with FND and Mesh complications.

🧡 Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) Awareness

Today, April 13th, is FND Awareness Day, and the entire month of April is dedicated to its awareness. This is a moment to shine a light on Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), which often presents as a Functional Movement Disorder. It is an elusive, yet common condition frequently found in movement disorder patients when a traditional diagnosis isn’t immediately clear.

For many in the chronic pain community, FND manifests as complex, involuntary movements or severe convulsions affecting specific parts—or the entire—body.

🌀 The Invisible Link:
FND can be triggered by trauma, an accident, or a medical event gone wrong. For me, it was a dental and chiropractic misalignment that set this journey into motion.

🛤 A Journey of Progress:
I’ve come a long way from consistent, terrifying emergency runs to the hospital, including fellow FND Warrior friend and author . Healing isn't a straight line, but there is a path forward.

🎧 More To Come:
There is so much more to discuss about this complex condition. We will be deep-diving into this topic in future episodes of the Freedom To Know Wellness podcast.

Follow for updates, and let's break the silence on FND.
