It was great to see such an engaged audience of GP’s and other primary health care clinicians. It’s clear that there is real drive towards providing better care for pts with FND and increasing equity. #FND

🙌🏼 A must read As if having the condition isn’t difficult enough, there is so much medical trauma through people not being believed. Work like this is extremely helpful. #fndaware #NeuroTwitter nature.com/articles/s4158…

#FND left me housebound for many years, unable to walk or use my arms. The turning point came when I met Prof Mark Edwards & finally received diagnosis & treatment. It’s still a battle but I am starting to play again. I hope my story shows with the right treatment, there is hope.
