Fnd facts

Detroit
4/15 Edited to

... Read moreIf you or someone you know has experienced unexplained neurological symptoms like weakness, tremors, or seizures without a clear medical cause, you might be encountering Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). From personal experience, understanding that FND is not caused by structural brain damage but rather a disruption in brain-body communication can be a huge relief. It’s like when your computer crashes without any visible virus or hardware failure—your nervous system’s signals become scrambled. Living with FND can be challenging because symptoms vary widely and can come and go unpredictably. Recognizing that these symptoms are real but functional rather than caused by physical damage helps in avoiding stigma. Treatment often involves multidisciplinary approaches including neurology, psychology, and physical therapy focusing on retraining the nervous system. Learning about FND helped me appreciate the importance of patience and support, both from medical professionals and loved ones. It’s crucial to increase awareness about this disorder as many people suffer in silence due to misunderstanding and misdiagnosis. If you suspect FND, consult a neurologist who understands this condition and explore therapies that target both the neurological and psychological aspects. Remember, it’s a disorder of function, not form—and recovery is often possible with the right approach.

It lists various functional disorders under FND, including seizures, limb weakness, tremors, sensory disturbances, and speech/swallowing disorders.

Gear that looks decorative may be serving a purpose! For example, Luci is going through a period of increased shedding, and the gingerbread outfit contains much of this shedding. This keeps people with allergies just a little bit safer. #Cardiacalertdog #seizurealertdog #migrainealertdog #wo

💜 Realistic Self-Care for Flare Days
Let’s be honest — not every day is a “treat-yourself” spa day. Some days, self-care looks more like survival care. As an FND warrior, I’ve learned that real self-care on flare days is about gentleness — meeting yourself where you are, not where you “should” be. 🌸 Here are a few things that h

Luci did some scenting for enrichment! He’s only has 2 short training sessions on this so far. He smells what I hide before I hide it and then seeks it out on command, and barks to alert that he’s found it. He’s still very early on in learning this game, so sometimes it’s not completely hidden. Plu
