    <title>The FND Podcast</title>
    <description>Hi, I’m Detty — a mum, a wife, a crocheter, a tea-lover, and someone living with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND).
I created The FND Podcast as a place to have real, honest chats about life with this condition — the parts that are scary, the parts that are frustrating, and the parts that are still full of light.

Here, you’ll hear from people with lived experience, carers, professionals, and advocates who all bring their stories, their insights, and their heart to the table. We talk about what it’s like to be diagnosed with FND, what recovery can really look like, how to manage flare-ups, navigate work, raise a family, and just keep showing up — one breath, one step, one day at a time.

This podcast isn’t about perfection. It’s about connection.
It’s about making space for every part of this journey — especially the parts that often get left out of the conversation.

Whether you’re living with FND, supporting someone who is, or just trying to understand it better — you’re welcome here.

So, grab a cuppa, get comfy, and join me for conversations that are warm, raw, and real.
You’re not alone.

💛 Detty

In this powerful episode, Brad shares his personal journey from collapse and confusion to finding his voice in the FND community.

We talk about 
*The moment it all started 
* The trauma of misdiagnosis and dismissal
*Brads current petition to improve FND care
The emotional Toll of FND and how it reshapes identity
The importance of community support and speaking out

      <title>The JJSegment : Working with FND and writing a book : The FND Podcast</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>🎙️ The JJ Segment: Catching Up with Jess – Working, Writing, and Living with FND</p><p>In this deeply honest and joyfully heartfelt episode of The FND Podcast, Detty sits down with the wonderful Jess for a long-overdue catch-up on the JJ Segment. From moving states, to getting married, to navigating life with FND while diving headfirst into a blue-collar job — Jess shares it all with her trademark humour, grit, and glowing resilience.</p><p> </p><p>Together, we unpack what it’s really like returning to work with Functional Neurological Disorder, from workplace seizures and flare-ups to pacing, planning, and the importance of telling your employer. Jess opens up about her journey from overdoing it to finding a more manageable balance — and how she's learned to adapt rather than fight her FND.</p><p> </p><p>But that’s not all — Jess is also a published author! We chat about her newest fantasy release "Woman of Wolves", her passion for storytelling, and how she balances creative life with chronic illness. You’ll laugh, nod, maybe even tear up — and definitely walk away feeling inspired.</p><p> </p><p>✨ In this episode:</p><p>– Jess’s journey with FND & employment</p><p>– Coping with seizures at work</p><p>– The emotional evolution of living with FND</p><p>– Why communication with employers matters</p><p>– Writing through chronic illness</p><p>– Creating a fantasy world… and lifting 3 tonnes of flour a day?! 💪</p><p>– The gift of self-acceptance and finding your pace</p><p> </p><p>📚 Want to support a fellow FND warrior? Check out Jess’s books on<a href="https://amzn.asia/d/3XPOhsR"> Amazon </a>and follow her on TikTok @jessmcfarlane </p><p>A massive thank you to Jess for being so open and shining your light. And to our listeners: you’re not alone. Your journey with FND is your own, but we’re right here beside you.</p><p> </p><p>Stay safe, love hard, and peace — see you on the flip side 💛</p><p><br />To work or not to work with FND that is the real question. It's a hard one to gauge and safely decide and it's definitely not for everyone.  Here's a short conversation we have with Katherine Gill from Australia Support Services and also a sneak preview to the upcoming episodes.</p><p><i><strong>This Episodes notes:</strong></i></p><p>Job Access : the guide to disability employment :<a href="https://www.jobaccess.gov.au" target="_blank"> click here for more details</a></p><p>Disability support services Australia in<a href="https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/servicesandsupport/disability-services" target="_blank"> Victoria click here for more details</a></p><p><a href="https://www.dss.gov.au/disability-employment-programs" target="_blank">Employment programs: disability *Aus government. </a></p><p>Returning back to work presentation on FND Australia Support Services Channel :<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hcBxyrqu7s" target="_blank"> Click here for more details</a></p><p>Transitioning from school to work with a disability:<a href="https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/servicesandsupport/postschool-options-for-people-with-a-disability" target="_blank"> click here for more details</a></p><p>If you feel like you would like to Volunteer in Australia :<a href="https://www.volunteeringaustralia.org/#/" target="_blank"> click here for more details</a></p><p><a href="https://www.globalskills.com.au/news/on-fnd-awareness-day-global-skills-celebrates-caitlins-employment-success/" target="_blank">Caitlins story with FND and work :</a></p><p>If needing to more information and support on working with a disability here is the Fairwork Ombudsman information : <a href="https://www.fairwork.gov.au/find-help-for/employees-with-disability" target="_blank">click here for more details</a></p><p><i><strong>Note: the links are related to those in Australia however it is a good idea to look up your disability supports in your country.

It is achievable. You can with fnd it is not easy. But we do the best we can. </p><p>”When writer and musician Eliza Hull was pregnant with her first child, like most parents-to-be she was a mix of excited and nervous. But as a person with a physical disability, there were added complexities. She wondered- Will the pregnancy be too hard? Will people judge me? Will I cope with the demands of parenting? More than 15 per cent of Australian households have a parent with a disability, yet their stories are rarely shared, their experiences almost never reflected in parenting literature.<br /><br />In <i>We've Got This</i>, twenty-five parents who identify as Deaf, disabled or chronically ill discuss the highs and lows of their parenting journeys and reveal that the greatest obstacles lie in other people's attitudes. The result is a moving, revelatory and empowering anthology. As Rebekah Taussig writes, 'Parenthood can tangle with grief and loss. Disability can include joy and abundance. And goddammit - disabled parents exist.'<br />Contributors include Jacinta Parsons, Kristy Forbes, Graeme Innes, Jessica Smith, Jax Jacki Brown, Nicole Lee, Elly May Barnes, Neangok Chair, Renay Barker-Mulholland, Micheline Lee and Shakira Hussein."</p><p>Finding your passion or something to focus on can help with fnd .</p><p><a href="https://www.bezzyra.com/discover/living-well-ra/health-the-value-of-pursuing-hobbies-when-youre-living-with-a-chronic-illness/">https://www.bezzyra.com/discover/living-well-ra/health-the-value-of-pursuing-hobbies-when-youre-living-with-a-chronic-illness/</a></p><p>‘little puppy buddy getting acquainted with the <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/kzotapdwokstjk8/IMG_0599.JPG?dl=0">vacuum</a> </p><p><i>The FND Podcast with Detty acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land in which we stand, the Bundjalung, Awakabal, Djinduburi , Arawak, Boon wurrang & Wurundjeri People.

It is achievable. You can with fnd it is not easy. But we do the best we can. </p><p>”When writer and musician Eliza Hull was pregnant with her first child, like most parents-to-be she was a mix of excited and nervous. But as a person with a physical disability, there were added complexities. She wondered- Will the pregnancy be too hard? Will people judge me? Will I cope with the demands of parenting? More than 15 per cent of Australian households have a parent with a disability, yet their stories are rarely shared, their experiences almost never reflected in parenting literature.<br /><br />In <i>We've Got This</i>, twenty-five parents who identify as Deaf, disabled or chronically ill discuss the highs and lows of their parenting journeys and reveal that the greatest obstacles lie in other people's attitudes. The result is a moving, revelatory and empowering anthology. As Rebekah Taussig writes, 'Parenthood can tangle with grief and loss. Disability can include joy and abundance. And goddammit - disabled parents exist.'<br />Contributors include Jacinta Parsons, Kristy Forbes, Graeme Innes, Jessica Smith, Jax Jacki Brown, Nicole Lee, Elly May Barnes, Neangok Chair, Renay Barker-Mulholland, Micheline Lee and Shakira Hussein."</p><p>Finding your passion or something to focus on can help with fnd .</p><p><a href="https://www.bezzyra.com/discover/living-well-ra/health-the-value-of-pursuing-hobbies-when-youre-living-with-a-chronic-illness/">https://www.bezzyra.com/discover/living-well-ra/health-the-value-of-pursuing-hobbies-when-youre-living-with-a-chronic-illness/</a></p><p>‘little puppy buddy getting acquainted with the <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/kzotapdwokstjk8/IMG_0599.JPG?dl=0">vacuum</a> </p><p><i>The FND Podcast with Detty acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land in which we stand, the Bundjalung, Awakabal, Djinduburi , Arawak, Boon wurrang & Wurundjeri People.

      <title>Maggies Corner|Tik Tok does not cause Tics stop spreading stigma!</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>On this episode we catch up with Maggie and life as well as life with FND and disability. But there is one issue that needs to be cleared up that has been circulating in the media: that TIK TOK has been causing tics especially functional tics. Others with tics also have been spreading misinformation about functional tics. Let’s set the record straight : it’s not behavioural or voluntary.

The kind that leave them penis-less with their testicles left in the bins of the Costa Coffee next door.</p><p>Behind all the bloodshed is a woman, Jackie. To be precise, a ruthless serial killer of a woman ready to strike again, and again, and again, and one more time after that, without a single ounce of remorse and ready to share it all on social media.</p><p>And the task of finding her all rests on Lead Detective of Scotland Yard, esteemed veteran of Whitechapel, extremely paranoid, slightly clueless, and definitively over-caffeinated Frederick Abberline.</p><p>Hold onto your bollocks.</p><p><a href="https://stak.london/shows/jackie-the-ripper/">https://stak.london/shows/jackie-the-ripper/</a></p><p><strong>Brain Dumping</strong>; Jake did a podcast on this </p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/58EyhahiBYKPlPQcEx5Aem?si=SPKDVyMjQ0utZ0Q7Nubd2A">https://open.spotify.com/episode/58EyhahiBYKPlPQcEx5Aem?si=SPKDVyMjQ0utZ0Q7Nubd2A</a></p><p>Matt Haig: his books are amazing highly recommended</p><p><a href="http://www.matthaig.com/">http://www.matthaig.com/</a></p><p>and also FND NEAD and US go check them out to go looking for support and connections and turning a negative mindset to a positive. </p><p>Rach is continuing to do her walk for FND when she can with her friend Skye you can still support her on the go fund me account here :</p><p><a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/5-miles-on-crutches?member=14473415&sharetype=teams&utm_campaign=p_na+share-sheet&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook">https://www.gofundme.com/f/5-miles-on-crutches?member=14473415&sharetype=teams&utm_campaign=p_na+share-sheet&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook</a><br /><br />she will continue her walk <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CVe6fBJNbmG/?utm_medium=copy_link">https://www.instagram.com/reel/CVe6fBJNbmG/?utm_medium=copy_link</a></p><p><br />The Fnd Podcast always suggests that you always talk with your gp and or specialist with any treatments in regards with FND</p><p><i>The FND Podcast with Detty acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land in which we stand, the Bundjalung, Awakabal, Djinduburi , Arawak, Boon wurrang & Wurundjeri People.

From the creators of hit mockumentary podcast, <i>The Offensive</i>, <i>Jackie the Ripper</i> is a laugh-out loud, timely comedy-drama retelling of the infamous Whitechapel killings of the 19th century.</p><p>But in this modern twist, men are the victims of dark, sexually aggressive murders. The kind that leave them penis-less with their testicles left in the bins of the Costa Coffee next door.</p><p>Behind all the bloodshed is a woman, Jackie. To be precise, a ruthless serial killer of a woman ready to strike again, and again, and again, and one more time after that, without a single ounce of remorse and ready to share it all on social media.</p><p>And the task of finding her all rests on Lead Detective of Scotland Yard, esteemed veteran of Whitechapel, extremely paranoid, slightly clueless, and definitively over-caffeinated Frederick Abberline.</p><p>Hold onto your bollocks.</p><p><a href="https://stak.london/shows/jackie-the-ripper/">https://stak.london/shows/jackie-the-ripper/</a></p><p><strong>Brain Dumping</strong>; Jake did a podcast on this </p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/58EyhahiBYKPlPQcEx5Aem?si=SPKDVyMjQ0utZ0Q7Nubd2A">https://open.spotify.com/episode/58EyhahiBYKPlPQcEx5Aem?si=SPKDVyMjQ0utZ0Q7Nubd2A</a></p><p>Matt Haig: his books are amazing highly recommended</p><p><a href="http://www.matthaig.com/">http://www.matthaig.com/</a></p><p>and also FND NEAD and US go check them out to go looking for support and connections and turning a negative mindset to a positive. </p><p>Rach is continuing to do her walk for FND when she can with her friend Skye you can still support her on the go fund me account here :</p><p><a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/5-miles-on-crutches?member=14473415&sharetype=teams&utm_campaign=p_na+share-sheet&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook">https://www.gofundme.com/f/5-miles-on-crutches?member=14473415&sharetype=teams&utm_campaign=p_na+share-sheet&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook</a><br /><br />she will continue her walk <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CVe6fBJNbmG/?utm_medium=copy_link">https://www.instagram.com/reel/CVe6fBJNbmG/?utm_medium=copy_link</a></p><p><br />The Fnd Podcast always suggests that you always talk with your gp and or specialist with any treatments in regards with FND</p><p><i>The FND Podcast with Detty acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land in which we stand, the Bundjalung, Awakabal, Djinduburi , Arawak, Boon wurrang & Wurundjeri People.

      <title>My FND Reality | Talking to Tom Plender</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Join me as we talk to others with FND in the community as they share their time, their lived experiences and invaluable and priceless insights with FND. Each person brings to the table their own unique truth of what it is to genuinely live with FND.

      <title>Chucky Chat | Flying with FND Chuckys experience</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>On this episode ofChucky Chat we’ve been actually holding this episode for a very long time. Simply because for a while in Australia since the pandemic we closed the borders interstate and internationally so no one could travel that is until recently.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>This episode of My FND Reality is a bit different from other episodes of My FND Reality as it is a reality for one particular FNDer Vani, and it’s tragically unfolding as we speak.

We hope that Vanis Reality she does get treatment, she has NDIS funding so she can have the supports in place, and the respect and dignity she deserves. She does not deserve what she is going through at the moment and many FNDers may relate to her and her mother’s story.

All CQ Health hospitals and services fully support this initiative.</p><p>Background of Ryans Rule</p><p>Ryan Saunders was nearly three years old when he tragically died in hospital. His death was found to be in all likelihood preventable. Staff did not know Ryan as well as his mum and dad knew him. When Ryan’s parents were worried he was getting worse they didn’t feel their concerns were acted on in time. Ryan’s Rule has been developed to provide patients of any age, families and carers with another way to get help.</p><p><a href="https://www.health.qld.gov.au/cq/patients-and-visitors/your-rights-and-responsibilities/ryans-rule">https://www.health.qld.gov.au/cq/patients-and-visitors/your-rights-and-responsibilities/ryans-rule</a></p><p>Reach in NSW</p><p>Patient Family Carer Escalation</p><p>REACH is a system that helps patients, their family and carer/s escalate their concerns with staff about worrying changes in a patient's condition. It stands for Recognise, Engage, Act, Call, Help is on its way. REACH was developed by the Clinical Excellence Commission in collaboration with local health districts and consumers. It builds on the surf life‐saving analogy for recognition and appropriate care of deteriorating patients by encouraging patients, their families and carer/s to 'put their hands in the air' to signal they need help. </p><p><a href="https://www.cec.health.nsw.gov.au/keep-patients-safe/deteriorating-patient-program/reach">https://www.cec.health.nsw.gov.au/keep-patients-safe/deteriorating-patient-program/reach</a></p><p>To listen to our song playlist  started by our lovely Maggie from Maggies corner  Spotify click on the link below</p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5lvGhN4Ab3AtwBj42L5DDA?si=IyN0V1ENQdi1_6W6MrNjAA">https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5lvGhN4Ab3AtwBj42L5DDA?si=IyN0V1ENQdi1_6W6MrNjAA</a><br /> </p><p><strong>HELPFUL RESOURCES</strong>:<br />A website all things Functional neurological Disorder written by Professor Jon Stone who is the leading FND researcher and Consultant Neurologist in Edinburgh, Scotland.</p><p><a href="https://www.neurosymptoms.org/">https://www.neurosymptoms.org/</a></p><p><strong>FND ORGANISATIONS</strong>:</p><p><a href="https://www.fndaus.org.au/">https://www.fndaus.org.au/</a></p><p>FND AUSTRALIA SUPPORT  SERVICES INC: A wonderful resource for people in Australia with FND: from reasearch into FND, finding medical specialists and services and just information about FND.

His death was found to be in all likelihood preventable. Staff did not know Ryan as well as his mum and dad knew him.

It builds on the surf life‐saving analogy for recognition and appropriate care of deteriorating patients by encouraging patients, their families and carer/s to 'put their hands in the air' to signal they need help. </p><p><a href="https://www.cec.health.nsw.gov.au/keep-patients-safe/deteriorating-patient-program/reach">https://www.cec.health.nsw.gov.au/keep-patients-safe/deteriorating-patient-program/reach</a></p><p>To listen to our song playlist  started by our lovely Maggie from Maggies corner  Spotify click on the link below</p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5lvGhN4Ab3AtwBj42L5DDA?si=IyN0V1ENQdi1_6W6MrNjAA">https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5lvGhN4Ab3AtwBj42L5DDA?si=IyN0V1ENQdi1_6W6MrNjAA</a><br /> </p><p><strong>HELPFUL RESOURCES</strong>:<br />A website all things Functional neurological Disorder written by Professor Jon Stone who is the leading FND researcher and Consultant Neurologist in Edinburgh, Scotland.</p><p><a href="https://www.neurosymptoms.org/">https://www.neurosymptoms.org/</a></p><p><strong>FND ORGANISATIONS</strong>:</p><p><a href="https://www.fndaus.org.au/">https://www.fndaus.org.au/</a></p><p>FND AUSTRALIA SUPPORT  SERVICES INC: A wonderful resource for people in Australia with FND: from reasearch into FND, finding medical specialists and services and just information about FND.

      <itunes:summary>Join me as we talk to others with FND in the community as they share their time, their lived experiences and invaluable and priceless insights with FND. Each person brings to the table their own unique truth of what it is to genuinely live with FND. For that I am absolutely humbled, grateful and show great respect to each person that I have talked to. 

This my FND reality is no different except that it is of the lived experience of a caregiver who is looking after someone they love who has FND. It’s important to hear from another’s point of view of what it is to be a caregiver as they too are living with FND. 
Thankyou so much Rodney for speaking with us today.

      <itunes:summary>Join me as we talk to others with FND in the community as they share their time, their lived experiences and invaluable and priceless insights with FND. Each person brings to the table their own unique truth of what it is to genuinely live with FND. For that I am absolutely humbled, grateful and show great respect to each person that I have talked to. 
Sara Thankyou so much for talking to me and for being the first for us to talk to from across the other side of the world. I realise that our issues with FND span the world. I’m so inspired by what you are doing and cheering you on. Empowering people to be the best with what they have is amazing.
Go Sara! And Thankyou xo

      <itunes:subtitle>Join me as we talk to others with FND in the community as they share their time, their lived experiences and invaluable and priceless insights with FND. Each person brings to the table their own unique truth of what it is to genuinely live with FND. For that I am absolutely humbled, grateful and show great respect to each person that I have talked to. 
Sara Thankyou so much for talking to me and for being the first for us to talk to from across the other side of the world. I realise that our issues with FND span the world. I’m so inspired by what you are doing and cheering you on. Empowering people to be the best with what they have is amazing.
Go Sara! And Thankyou xo

      <title>My FND reality | Talking to Jacinta</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Jacintas written piece posted with permission by Jacinta: </p><p>FND is not a simple disorder that can be easily explained not easily described with the impact it makes on ones life.</p><p>To most FND, in full known as functional neurological disorder, is just a medical term used to describe a number of symptoms that have so much variance and debilitating effects. Three little words that just makes up a name to some but to me and so many others, seen as a disorder that has made a dramatic change in our daily life as we once knew it.</p><p>In simple terms I have no hardware damage to my brain but more so software issues, the messages the brain sends are not always sent in the correct way resulting in havoc around the body. Describing it in these terms makes me think if only I could go down to the local I.T shop, get a reboot and upgrade of the latest program and be on my way! If only it was that easy!</p><p>FND has been an on and off element in my adult life, rearing its ugly head at times I never expected. I am a mum of 2 beautiful children and always prided myself on working hard to provide for my family. Nearly 18 months ago FND started to cast its shadow and from there my daily life changed. All my symptoms started on my right side and sadly decided to take away my sensation and use in both my legs, leaving me confined to a steel contraption daily, a steel contraption that is my lifeline to some form of independence. Apart from the list of other symptoms this has been the hardest to come to terms with in so many different ways. Self acceptance is one of the hardest lesson we have to learn in so many aspects of life.</p><p>FND decided to take a front seat in my life while I was left to be the back seat driver, yelling out my desires on which way I wanted to go but having no full control of the wheel, my destination being fully functioning! Every wrong turn I was like the child in the back banging on the seat asking are we there yet!</p><p>I have always been one to struggle with putting the exact impact of FND into words that has enough power behind how much this disorder has made such a huge daily impact.</p><p>This morning I woke, like many times before that initial wake up being separate to reality...... AND then it hits, that moment realisation starts flooding back that I still have limitations on my body that seem to be failing me, this hit of realisation hits hard and the tears began to well in my eyes. Suddenly my inner strength kicks in and I stop, in this moment i chose to make my emotions that come from the heartache of this disorder come to use in another form, I was going to use this emotion to capture how I felt about FND on an internal level.</p><p>I have always wanted to do an artwork to try and strongly show how FND can make us feel internally......but honestly I'm hopeless with a paintbrush or pencil and a stick figure wasnt going to cut it.</p><p>I decided it was time for some self love, to do something for myself to boost my confidence in this time of desperation. I pulled out a packet of hair dye, unravelling my hair I continued to colour my hair and let it sit. Then the time came to wash it out, watching as the colour washed out and covered my body I had a light bulb moment, it was in this exact moment I knew I had found my way to Express FND in a raw form. A way that showed clearly on the outside how we feel on the inside at times.</p><p>Being bare, vulnerable and feeling backed in a corner is how most of us feel when it comes to dealing with majority of the medical world and with those that simply dont understand the complexity of this disorder. Most of us are left to deal with our symptoms on our own, left to deal with the fallout and impacts of FND on our daily lives.</p><p>Our families are the ones left to help us pick up the pieces with every hurdle faced, left to help us find our worth in a world we cant quite comprehend ourselves, a world that seems to be just a continuous roundabout without any exits. The vulnerability on not only ourselves but our families comes in so many different shapes and forms.</p><p>The colour washing down from the head signifies to me the torment that comes from the confusion we face, the torment of a disfunctioning brain that then runs over your body and leaves its mark as the confusion washes down. The only difference between this picture is it can be seen, this inner impact cannot be always fully seen from the outside. The confusion of the brain can be a really hard thing to compute but the confusion doesnt stop there, it continues down throughout our bodies and creates havoc in many different ways. Your life as you knew it just washes away, everything is left to feel like a washed out mess.</p><p>While everything feels so lost I am proud of who I am! I've learnt about so much inner strength inside me that I never realised I had! Once your only option is to be strong you realise how much that shines within you. With every set back, with every hurdle, with every year, I still find the strength to find an acceptance in myself and push forward.</p><p>I beg of you all to reflect, to reflect on how everyday functions allow you to do what you do. Just simply standing in the shower, being able to drive a car, being able to kick a ball with your children, to work and provide for your family without limitation, these are all things we take for granted and dont think about! Be grateful in all you do, in the time you have with family and friends because having gratitude is something we should all reflect on regardless.</p><p>To all my FND warriors, the struggles are real, the hurdles faced are some of the hardest we have to conquer, the realisation of our bodies failing us are hard to face both physically and mentally. FND may have changed our daily lives, it may have made us feel vulnerable and misunderstood but dont ever feel you are alone in the fight for hope.</p><p>Be kind to yourself, be kind to those strong souls that see the suffering but still hold our hand along the way.</p><p>Most importantly dont give up the drive or determination we all fight with to get back to fully functional.</p><p>FND may have changed your daily life, it may have put limitations on you but at the end of the day you still have the same heart to shine through your soul and out into the world. We are all stars in the dark night of all that is FND, stars need the darkness to shine!</p><p>Dont ever forget your inner strength, your inner beauty or who you are.</p><p>Stay strong, keep fighting for hope and keep shining.</p><p>To Purchase FND Shirts Hoodies and Bags go to website :</p><p><a href="https://imprintmerch.com.au/collections/lets-have-the-chat">https://imprintmerch.com.au/collections/lets-have-the-chat</a></p><p>Proceeds go to FND Australia support services.</p><p> </p><p><strong>HELPFUL RESOURCES</strong>:<br />A website all things Functional neurological Disorder written by Professor Jon Stone who is the leading FND researcher and Consultant Neurologist in Edinburgh, Scotland.</p><p><a href="https://www.neurosymptoms.org/">https://www.neurosymptoms.org/</a></p><p>Youtube video: What is Functional Neurological Condition By Dr. Phil Parker.

Sometimes the things that go unsaid need to be shared as others may be going through the same situation in FND. Including grieving mourning who we once were, accepting and moving forward to try and live with fnd and hopefully aiming for Recovery.

      <itunes:summary>Join me as we talk to others with FND in the community as they share their time, their lived experiences and invaluable and priceless insights with FND. Each person brings to the table their own unique truth of what it is to genuinely live with FND. For that I am absolutely humbled, grateful and show great respect to each person that I have talked to. 

Tiarne is a wonderful wife and mother. From being diagnosed she goes through what it’s like to have fnd and family, and why there is a need for FND awareness. She let’s us know that FND shouldn’t stop us from achieving what we need to do as she also embarks on studying to utilise her lived experience to help others.

Thankyou Tiarne you’re amazing
