"Disabled people should have been at the heart of the matter from the beginning" Comedian Roșie Jones says the government "never considered the real effect" that the proposed welfare reform would have for disabled people #BBCLauraK bbc.in/4lqTJud

Today I submitted the PhD 😱 "Dissociation, Brain Function and Inflammation in FND". It's been a long 6 yrs! I'm so grateful for all of the support I've had through this🥹 Special shout out to the #FND community who supported this to the end! #fndresearch #phdsubmission

@DisbldUrbanFarm We have "Talking Therapies" in the U.K. which is like basic psychotherapy for mild anxiety or depression. But the FND services are telling patients it can help with FND (though they can't) so are telling patients to report anxiety/depression just to get a foot in the door. Crazy!

@FndFightback Nope, and my therapist said she didn't understand why my medical team thought it would help. I've had CBT for years, working through trauma, and my FND has just gotten worse, so...

Have just finished a course of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) aimed at treating Non-Epileptic (Functional) Seizures (NEAD), and I honestly don't feel any better. If anyone else has tried CBT for NEAD/NES, did it help? 🤔

@Playtus1 I hate this whole "face your fears" narrative which implies that Avoidance traits are the cause of worsening FND/NEAD symptoms. I feel that the psychologizing of FND is drawing attention away from finding and treating the biological/organic physiological triggers.

@FndFightback CBT made me relive a traumatic incident like it was yesterday. I have NEAD and I still can't find anything that works. I take Hypervase for my flash backs and that is one thing that truly works.

@FoxPsyche101 Really sorry to hear that. In my experience therapists seem to believe that CBT is a "cure", so when it doesn't work, they claim that it must be the patient's fault for not trying hard enough. Personally I think CBT is bogus quackery, but I know not everyone shares that view.

@FndFightback My therapist was mixed. She was nice but also a bit rude and challenging. I didn’t find it helpful and made me suicidal.

“Cadenza” is my deep-dive essay on the history, biology, and social impact of FND. Please consider checking it out if you haven’t already. Many people have this condition and have been abandoned by medicine. This is my best attempt to tell the story. @fndportal/cadenza-for-fractured-consciousness-e9c236dc7bf2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@fndportal/cad…

@TomPlender @FndPortal @FNDAction & with regards to genetics and FND, there is NOT enough information for African American, Caribbean, or Mixed Race folks — I belong to all three groups. I’d love to try to see which line may have the genetic biomarkers for FND and PNES if they exist, but…idk who or where to go
