Hi there,

I'm writing a novella where the main character has FND. I think it's nice when stories have representation but don't revolve around someone's illness/disability. What I've read from papers/research differs from what I read on forums. I'd like her story to reflect lived experiences. I'd appreciate if you could answer some or most of these questions!

What has been your experience getting a diagnosis? 

If you have a family doctor/GP, what is your relationship with them like? 

What are your primary symptoms?

How does FND affect your daily life?

What mobility aids have you used? Are your friends, family, and/or doctor supportive of you using mobility aids?

How has your life changed before vs after getting sick?

Thanks in advance!
