Thank you to everyone who has taken part so far

We have run out of vouchers now but would love more responses from RECENTLY diagnosed (<6m) people with FND, over 18 & in the UK.

Yesterday we launched the SLT FND CEN! 🥳 170 Speech and Language Therapists working with people with FND all over the UK attended! Such a success and one that has been a long time in the making. Well done and thanks to the committee: Lorna, Helen, Lisa, Debbie and myself 😊

Superb opportunity for FND fellowship with Víctor G Mayordomo

Thanks!

The story of the real Anna O, Bertha Pappenheim, is extraordinary

Gabriel Brownstein‘s new book recommended for anyone interested in the history of FND - old and new.

Thanks FND Hope International for arranging this

Interesting data on moment to moment changes in FND symptoms 👏👏

This is going to be such an interesting event. Gabriel Brownstein has integrated what’s happened in the field of FND over the last 20 years with the extraordinary story of feminist Bertha Pappenheim - also known as Anna O - who “ invented” but then rejected Freud’s talking cure

Good to see incongruence for FND getting the boot at the AAN. My thread on why it’s time to say goodbye is here… x.com/jonstoneneuro/…

Congrats Harry on all you’ve done for Queen of the South this season 👏👏👏

Wonderful to see Charcots dynamic lesion and FND being given pride of place in Mark Hallett 2024 Wartenberg lecture American Academy of Neurology

A huge day for me and one that feels very emotional.

I have written the story of my M.E. and my recovery. This has been done with lots of love, for the benefit of patients, doctors, researchers and carers.

I so hope it reaches people who need it

Brief thread with findings below 1/4

Bravo Kirsty-Ann for telling your story. Every time someone does this it drags FND out of the shadows a little more. 👏👏👏
