So on top of my autism diagnosis that I received a back in September, I am now told that I have FND........FFS!
Never heard of it before,so been trying to research online over past couple of days.
Whilst I do have some symptoms (fatigue, double vision and tinnitus), I am not convenced of teh diagnosis.
My symptoms can be related to a whole load of other things....anxiety, medication, etc.
It seems that a large number of people with FND experience considerable mobility challenges - something that I fortuneately do not have myself.
The diagnosis experience wasn't helped as I had a meltdown when we arrived at the hospital only to be told that they didn't have a record of my appointment.
On presenting the appointment letter, they then sadi that it had been cancelled, but could not tell why.
They then admitted that they had failed to send a letter advising of the cancellation.
Fortunately there was a neurologist who was able to see me after a short wait (30 mins), but I was not presenting in the best way as I was still coming down (or rather medicinally sedated) from the meltdown. Therefore I was not cognizent enough to ask important questions and challenge the diagnosis.
The outcome was being told to go outside and drink my morning coffee and go for a walk each day.
The latter I do anyway, but they can sod off if they expect me to go outside first thing in the morning at this time of year.
I now have to wait 6 months for the next appointment!
Has anyone else had any experience of FND?
