The FND Podcast

Trigger warning : this episode has sensitive topics that may trigger some. It is in relation to a post made in the past which had emphasised and claimed that covid vaccinations causes fnd. This is our opinions  we encourage you to speak to your own gp and specialists seek medical advice in regards to this topic in regards to your own fnd and health in regards to this topic. At present the fnd society has a media statement in regards to this matter. We also talk about the awkwardness of FND especially when flares present themselves.  Follow Jess on Instagram @functionallyjess , her Instagram for her creative writing @jessmcfarlaneauthor and link to her new book for pre order link below. Shoutout to Michael ! Hello!

https://www.fndaction.org.uk/

FND Dimensions aims to develop a network of ‘peer support groups’ across the UK either in face to face meetings or online via methods such as Skype. By bringing people together on a regular basis, this helps alleviate the isolation that many FND patients feel. It also gives  opportunity  for others to open up dialog and to talk to others in a similar position about the day to day challenges, issues or concerns with one another.

recommendation from detty ;

parenting with disability : we’ve got this

https://www.booktopia.com.au/we-ve-got-this-eliza-hull/book/9781760642938.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwquWVBhBrEiwAt1KmwljkzlExyP3163f8_BtVm__wjtZGWticg29oc6XqEeJHRQ6IeQGwJxoCLBkQAvD_BwE

a compilation of stories from disabled parents about parenting disabled. It is achievable. You can with fnd it is not easy. But we do the best we can. 

”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.

In We've Got This, 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.'
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."

Finding your passion or something to focus on can help with fnd .

FND Action is a patient-led charity who offer a caring and supporting hand to people living with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) in the UK.

https://www.fndaction.org.uk/

FND Dimensions aims to develop a network of ‘peer support groups’ across the UK either in face to face meetings or online via methods such as Skype. By bringing people together on a regular basis, this helps alleviate the isolation that many FND patients feel. It also gives  opportunity  for others to open up dialog and to talk to others in a similar position about the day to day challenges, issues or concerns with one another.

FND Action is a patient-led charity who offer a caring and supporting hand to people living with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) in the UK.

https://www.fndaction.org.uk/

FND Dimensions aims to develop a network of ‘peer support groups’ across the UK either in face to face meetings or online via methods such as Skype. By bringing people together on a regular basis, this helps alleviate the isolation that many FND patients feel. It also gives  opportunity  for others to open up dialog and to talk to others in a similar position about the day to day challenges, issues or concerns with one another.

FND awareness day 2022 #voices4FND we talk on the Panel to discuss what we don’t usually talk about amoungst ourselves. How does the hormones affect us? Peri menopause , Menopause in general? Chrissie Deb Jess and myself explore this topic in depth. Follow Jess @functionallyjess Chrissie @Chrissiejbutler Thankyou all of you for participating and Maggie hopefully you’ll join in the next panel so we can hear your views too

What other FNDers have mentioned about this :

“I have noticed I have more symptoms and seizures when I'm due on my period”

“I actually mentioned to Chrissie the other day that I actually got diagnose with FND and Early Menopause at the same time during this year. I get fatigued easier and a lot of hot flushes.  For me. I have loss of periods and can affect my moods. I guess and definitely my sleeping patterns have gotten worse. Not much sleep. And I'm 33.”

“Yes every month when my hormones fluctuate I have a flare just before or while I am on my period.  I want to chat to my doctor about options, but I don’t know if a hysterectomy or I think it’s called a Oblation? Would even help.  Would love to know if they would.”

“My symptoms are worse during my period but I also am a lot more tired during that time and tiredness seems to be my main exacerbated”

“I’m actually slated for a hysterectomy to help with this.  My cycle has always been awful but my FND occurred shortly after going through a few rounds of IVF.  Hormones are definitely linked.”

“@thefndpodcast great topic! It’s actually more complex than just hormones, due to the relationship and influences of these chemicals in our emotions mental processes and our bodies physiology.  Hormones can also be influences by our environment and our genetics.  I would be happy to discuss this in detail during our next community conversation or in your podcast: MD Functional Disorder healing ally”

“This is a great post and interestingly I had this conversation in rehab.  I went into surgical menopause5 years ago.  Since I’ve had FND it’s been hard to figure out if the increase in “hot flashes” is hormone related.  I only need oestrogen and after speaking with Gina Team it was suggested my HRT be increased.  I’ve had the increase for a few weeks now and have noticed a difference.  However, I have also had new medications started for some of my FND symptoms.  I would suggest if someone isn’t sure to get a blood test done to check hormone levels - be interesting to see the outcome”

“My FND symptoms increase 2-3 days before auntie flow visits.  My fatigue is the worst.  Usually the day is a bit of a write off.   Just can’t concentrate on anything”

“Since really young I’ve always had a drop attack (and seizures when older and experiencing more FNDy things) around my periods.  I knew it wasn’t always just because of the pain ( From good ol Ends). I was in but the change in hormones affecting my nervous system.  Makes total sense and I’m really looking forward to this discussion.”

“I was just talking to a fellow FNDer about how bad my symptoms were the other day.  The worst side I went in for treatment in May. I go my period later that day.  Usually I have a huge increase in fatigue as well so that usually tips me off but this time I didn’t notice the fatigue as much”

“Feel like I've been hit by a bus every period these past few months, they were bad enough before but I feel like exhausted with them now”

“I unfortunately have a flare up every month. It usually starts around 3-5 days before my period begins and can sometimes last up to a week from then to calm down. It is very difficult to cope with it happening every month. If anyone has any suggestions to help, that would be great! I have considered an implant but haven’t found enough information to know how helpful it would be. “

“I have the implant in.  I’ll be honest I never put two and two together.  But now I have the implant in my periods are a hit and miss.  i’ve not had one since June when I had it put in but maybe this is something I can track and let you guys know”

“I’ve noticed a massive difference when I”m due my monthly all my symptoms are so much worse.  I wasn’t like talking about this yesterday it’s like everything spikes x”
