This is the BEST case study I have seen regards FND and POTS. I only wish all clinicians were created equally, thank you so much for sharing as this gives me real Hope for the future of FND combined POTS.
Not one person with FND thinks of symptoms in terms of faking, because they are all to aware of their crippling reality. It is simply the medical community who have and continue (in some cases) to hold this incorrect view, ignorant or unwilling to understand the latest research and the ever proved possibly modern medicine still doesn’t know everything. The whole field of Medical Neurology owe patients of FND an apology for their treatment (or lack of) of them, and ironically it’s the Doctors who most need to apologise that will have the greatest issue with it.
Thank you for bringing the combination of POTS and FND together in this fantastic presentation, it’s because of open minded, investigative and proactive people like yourself that some patients are receiving the support they need! I only wish that more patients with this particular combination could receive your care.
Hello. This is all really interesting. I was wondering, as you had noticed the helpful effects of an improved hydration state, how was this addressed going forward?
I dont think any nhs drs in the uk will give this much care and attention to any of their patients, or even have this knowledge?!
There aren't any in Australia either we are dismissed and handed over to mental health.xx
correct
Had an appointment with a neurologist the other day Nate, and they said to me that FND was something that comes about in people because their brains are constantly concentrating on individual organs in the body, hence why these organs become and remain dysfunctional. Not sure whether she was trying to imply that I had control over these things, but it didn't really make sense to me.
She got me to stand upright for about 2 minutes and after that she took heart rate and blood pressure, I think it came back about 145/90 and 108 bpm; during the test I could see my feet turning more and more purple, but she didn't really make anything of it. It's funny when you've got these array of symptoms that you never had before that restrict you hugely, but nobody can explain them to you, and no-one seems to think they're at all abnormal!
Thank you for this video and for everything you do for this community 🤝
Have you seen anyone with FND, whom also has had Long Covid? I was diagnosed "finally" with FND in September of 2022. February of 2022 I got Covid 19 and I still had it in April of 2022 as well as H1N1 and Influenza A. I have frequent PVC's have for years, they are worse with poor digestion. With my history, I believe I have had FND all my life, I'm 58 years old and have been gas lit for years. I was very thankful for the diagnosis in 2022, all my symptom's over the years, then eventually severe non-epileptic seizures, I was diagnosed with FND.
Your channel is great and the experience you have is phenomenal. One piece of advice would be to increase the microphone level of your audio. Due to you having a soft and warm voice, it is very quiet and even with my speakers volume all the way up. Keep at it!
Lol I feel the same. I really want to listen to this video but I can barely hear what is being said. Volume is maxed out.
Ah shame...I couldn't hear it really
I agree! I ended up putting captions on so I could read along. Great content, thankyou for sharing in a helpful, non patronising way. 🙏🌻

Wow u have been in hell a long time!! Bless ur heart!!! I believe this guy is right on the money
I have FND. My main symptoms are weak legs and the weakness has now has traveled to hands amd feet. Im in constant pain. Get tremor, and muscle twitches. My eyes dont follow words properly when i read. Its very slow!
Great video Thankyou
Thank you so much for this video. Also living with POTS and FND and I had noticed that my first "warning sign" for an FND episode is "heavy eyes". Typically my HR drops quite low- 45bpm or lower immediately prior to an FND episode. Is there any other videos you would recommend to help with this? I have already completed graded exercise and can run 5 miles. Not sure where to go from here. Thank you!
Thanks for your video. However, I could barely hear it. It would seem that it wasn’t recorded with sufficient volume.
This is the most amazing thing ive seen. I have something very similar and need help!! This is so validating and helpful. Tysm!!!!
Psychogenic and somataform disorders are *not* the same as feigning or malingering!!!
Incredible!! So happy for her! The work you do is so special and life changing, forever grateful for the time we had under your care🙏
I do you do remote consultations ? For general advice, I know you can’t treat from distance! Thank you
Gosh, I wish there was access to this kind of medical support here.
I'm waiting for cardiology to investigate likely POTS. Also have FND. In the lead up to first ED presentation I was getting regular episodes of what I now think was Tachycardia etc and needing to go and lie down for ages. It's almost as if the dysautonomia actually led TO the FND (maybe with other triggers, too, but they feel very intertwined).
i had tachycardia from low vitamin d
Your video is low volume.
Thank you! My now 16 year old daughter was diagnosed with POTS and FND about 3 years ago. It is a continual struggle and not much information is available about this, or Drs we have seen do not know much and we feel we are flying blind! We are just taking every day as it comes and trying to learn as much as we can.
As a dancer, with her heart set on a career in this industry, it certainly has been an emotional roller coaster and struggle.
We continue to learn, encourage her and hope.
Get check d for hypomobility.most dancers have hypomobility hypomobility is linked to fnd autism ADHD CFS fybromyalgia elements fnd devdrs causation I now no is this
Thank you for your feedback. She doesn’t have hypo mobility.
Hello, I have had a concussion since being in a car accident in december. My condition worsened substantially 10 days ago, after starting on an SSRI medication (after about 10 days of being on it). I started presenting with severe POTS symptoms.
One of the main issues prior to starting the medication was severe adrenaline surges at night, sleep apnea and feeling lightheaded / feeling like I was losing consciousness when lying down. I'm wondering if you can point me in the direction of a chiropractic neurologist in Calgary, AB Canada that might be able to help me? Thank you so much.
Thank s so much for making this accessible to all of us❤ We need you !
I've been trying to get a bit of sun lately but it feels like I am half way to having a seizure since spending time in the sun.
How did you get symptoms to improve in a few DAYS?!?! I've been in PT for 11 months and I still can't walk. Does that mean it's not FND?
When you say PT I image you mean “graded exercise”, which in some cases people can see improvement, but if you’re already in good shape then it rarely provides results. You can check out some of our other videos about what we do as far as treatment fine our more recent videos! If you would like to have a one on one conversation to get more direct answers feel free to contact our office at (734)-707-5105
How did the eye movement tests and treatment relate to posture and regaining the ability to walk?
Love all these, please keep them coming 🙏
