Over the summer, I was diagnosed with Functional Neurologic Disorder. In my case, I am extremely light-sensitive, so you’ll probably see me wearing an eyepatch much of the time. It also presents in some other adventures through my head and body, so I spend most of my time lying down in a mostly-dark room. This may sound familiar to a previous experience I’ve had…except now I ALSO can’t be around light.

Additionally, talking has gotten significantly harder as I struggle to get words out. Not only does that mean that conversations are slower, but also difficult to maintain for more than a few minutes. For the most part, I can still type things out, but sometimes that even takes longer if my hands start shaking. So, communication in general is going to be pretty limited, at least until things normalize. Yes, that means that even after a few months, new symptoms are still continuing to present, and I don’t know how much I’ll be able to engage with comments responding to things. #functionalneurologicaldisorder #fnd #fndawareness #author #authorsoftiktok #authorsofinstagram
