Written from experience — not a prescription. Every person with FND carries a different version of it. Use this page as a vocabulary, not a diagnosis.

Switch tabs to move between the two. Each card opens into a list of symptoms people often describe.
No two people carry the same FND.
Every person with FND experiences it differently. Symptoms can vary widely from person to person — and even from day to day in the same person. A week of stillness can give way to a morning full of tremors. A clear Tuesday can blur by Thursday.
There’s no single pattern. That’s part of what makes FND so hard to diagnose, and so hard to explain. Your version of FND is yours alone — isolating sometimes, but always worth listening to.
If you’re scared, or can’t settle — please, go.
If your symptoms become overwhelming, frightening, or feel out of control, it’s a good idea to go to a doctor or hospital. Even if nothing dangerous is happening, getting checked can give you reassurance and help rule out other conditions. It’s always okay to seek help when you feel unsafe or unsure.
“Your body isn’t betraying you. It’s just listening to signals that got crossed on their way in.”
