  • Episode 191: Have you heard of functional neurological disorder or FND?
    FND can be a confusing, controversial, even triggering topic for many of us in the migraine and headache community - particularly those of us who have been exposed to a lot of stigma and medical gaslighting. It can seem like another way of telling us that our symptoms are "all in our head".
    FND refers to motor, sensory, or cognitive symptoms caused by an abnormality in how the nervous system functions. It is a dysfunction of the nervous system's "software" (connection or function) rather than the brain's "hardware" or structure.
    Dr. Jeffrey Staab, MD is Professor and Chair of the Department of Psychiatry and Psychology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. He is a published expert in the area of FND and migraine and understands how alarming the idea of FND may sound and how it can be misinterpreted.

    I like the way Dr. Jon Stone, an FND expert in Edinburgh, Scotland, says that they are identifying risk factors, not causes, for FND.
    I have found that the best treatment is educating yourself and learning about FND.
    The second priority is to work on improving comorbid, pre-existing medical conditions.
    I have also found that FND is very similar to Mind Body Syndrome, aka Psychophysiological Disorder, and those practitioners are way ahead of FND practitioners in regard to already having effective treatments.

      I have suffered from NDPH for almost two years, which have gotten progressively worse over time, on top of thst, I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease almost a year ago. I was told that headaches are not a typical symptom of PD and to focus on headache relief, But neurologists focusing on using migraine meds and none have worked. I am intrigued about FND, as many of my symptoms seem to fit that classification. I am experiencing terrible balance and dizziness as well as blurred vision and think there is a relationship between my headaches and vestibular disorders. Need help on what my next steps should be.
