From the Introduction
The scans are clean and the symptoms are real — seizures without epilepsy, paralysis without lesion, tremor without Parkinson's. Functional neurological disorder lives in that terrifying gap, and so, for a while, do the people diagnosed with it.

A note before you read

This book is a collection of personal, first-person testimonials offered as companion reading. It is not medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider regarding any medical condition or decision.

About this volume

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts begin in emergency departments and end, variously, in recovery, management and truce: the diagnosis that felt like dismissal until a good clinician explained it as a software problem in working hardware, the specialised physiotherapy that retrained limbs, psychology that addressed what the body had been carrying, and relapses under stress. Writers are unflinching about medical gaslighting en route, and generous about what finally helped.

Who it's for

For anyone newly diagnosed with FND, still fighting for the diagnosis beneath their symptoms, or supporting someone whose illness is invisible twice over.
