Part Two: Living With FND: Seizures, Brain Glitches, Disability & Rebuilding Life

Part two with Nicola, now focusing on life after diagnosis.We talk about what Functional Neurological Disorder actually feels like day to day. Nicola describes it as her brain firing on three cylinders instead of five, with signals glitching and misfiring.We cover the reality of non-epileptic seizures, the fear that comes with them, and how quickly life can change.We also talk about the practical side of disability. Using walking aids, planning everything around energy, trying to leave the house, and the knock-on crashes that follow.There’s a lot of unhelpful advice out there about FND, and we don’t shy away from that either.Most of all, this episode comes back to friendship. We started out bonding over shared health struggles, and now we’re both much worse, but we understand each other in a way most people don’t.#fnd #functionalneuro #nonepilepticseizures #chronicillness #mecfs #disability #spoonie #invisibleillness #brainfog #neurologicaldisorder #chronicfatigue #mentalhealth #chronicillnesslife #ukpodcast #chronicillnesssupport
