What if the way we connect with patients is as important as the treatment we offer?

Dr Abrar Hussain joins PainSpeak to explore Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), its overlap with persistent pain and the importance of relational, biopsychosocial care.

We discuss how validation, language and meaningful therapeutic relationships can help patients make sense of their symptoms and engage with recovery.

🚨 What if the pain alarm has become too sensitive?

In fibromyalgia, the nervous, immune and hormone systems can all become more responsive/more sensitive.

This can cause symptoms such as:
⚡ widespread pain
😴 poor sleep
🧠 brain fog
🔥 flare-ups
🌱 heightened sensitivity

On 29 September, I’ll explain the science in a practical and supportive masterclass:

The goal is not just to understand fibromyalgia — but to know what you can do next.

The mind–body connection is not “all in the mind”—it is part of how the nervous system responds to life.

Dr. Amber Johnston explores trauma, stress-related illness and the stigma that can prevent people from engaging with psychological support.
We also consider how neurodivergence may shape pain, communication and the need for more individualised treatment.
