Let's Talk About...

Today I'd like to address something that's complicated, varied, and different for every single person with FND...symptoms.

When I grow up I want to be diagnosed with an illness that gives me muscle spasms, tremors, brain fog, inability to speak or move my limbs, and seizures!

I'm going to be brutally honest on this post, so please don't read it out loud with any little ears nearby, because I am not holding back on the swears today! I've been in a very dark place lately. Not wanting to share my misery publicly, I've held back from writing until the sun comes back out so to speak.  So here I am, a little less miserable, typing fingertips at the ready to write about my favorite asshole, the monkey on my back, the little shadow that never leaves …..pain.

For those of you who don't believe that what we eat has an impact on our symptoms...well, you can read on and prepare to be educated, or remain in denial and don't read this blog at all. Ignorance is definitely NOT bliss when it comes to symptom management and food.  I'm going to provide information on several person's that I've found to be both inspiring, and educational when it comes to how diet affects our bodies and our health. I encourage you to keep an open mind, do the homework, and give this area some clear consideration in your FND journey.  As always, please consult your most trusted health care provider before making any changes to your diet or exercise program. 

I had a physiotherapist give me the BEST advice about mitigating my most hated symptom....BRAIN FOG.
