How do you get people to believe your FND ?? I’ve had fnd since 2018 but for 2 years I have had symptoms preventing me from learning to drive . ( i get random episodes of temporary paralysis in hands and legs) My neurologist told me I wouldn’t be able ti drive without 3 months without this occurring. Every-time I see my Dad he goes on and on about me learning to drive despite me telling him repeatedly that i cant and im being lazy or i could if i want to - or telling me to get undiagnosed or that I’ve not got epilepsy so i can drive. And its really upsetting coz I want to so badly as all my friends are learning and I don’t know what to do to stop him saying this

being diagnosed with FND is so friggin hard. there’s so much imposter syndrome and idk i always am worried people wont believe me or treat my seizures and other stuff seriously… that being said, i think maybe printing off some resources for him? i dont know how close you are, however, you could simply tell him that no matter what he thinks, his behaviour is hurting your feelings and making it so you dont enjoy being with him as much. i find that direct communication is a great backup. it doesnt matter what he things abt FND, what matters is that you feel safe and loved at home.
Hello I’m really sorry that this is happening to you. Personally I can’t speak on getting people to believe you. My doctors aren’t even sure if I have FND myself. But if you ever need someone to talk to feel free to message me!
