Shirley’s Story | FND Awareness Day UK 2026

April 14, 2026

A personal story of living with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND).
~~~

I was diagnosed with FND after I started getting tremours. I suffer with my speech, movement, and everyday is difficult.

I want to raise awareness for FND. We shouldn’t have to go out the house to people gawping at us, wondering what’s happening to us.

I absolutely hate it and in turn stay in a lot.

FND is brushed off by the neurologists as stress, when the stressful part is not being listened to by us and our families about what’s happening to us daily
