Hello and welcome to my blog ‘FND Stronger Together’

Hello, I’m Rob, and I am dedicated to helping people understand Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), its symptoms, and providing support and guidance.

Are you newly diagnosed with FND, who does not know where to go for support and advice?

Perhaps you are in need of hope, as sometimes we can feel alone with FND?

Or maybe you would like to know more information on how to treat FND?

Perhaps you would like to know the current research into FND?

Or maybe you are interested in how I am living with FND.

FND Stronger Together is for you!

I am not a doctor, but I was diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) in November 2024. My symptoms began in March 2024, and I understand how hard it is to deal with the first symptoms, get a diagnosis, and begin the recovery journey.

Why I created FND Stronger Together

Before I got sick with FND, I had never heard of it, and I found out that many doctors did not know about it either.

Several times, psychiatrists said I was pretending to have symptoms, even when I was paralyzed on the floor and could not move or talk.

Therefore I created FND Stronger Together, with the mission to:-

• Raise awareness of Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) by sharing my personal journey alongside valuable and informative resources.
• Provide support and hope to individuals living with FND and their carers and caregivers
• Raise funds for FND Hope International to support awareness initiatives and advance research into Functional Neurological Disorder (FND).
