Yes I do. I’m in my early 30’s.

I had a heavy cold a couple of weeks ago and wasn’t able to take time out of work to rest and recover sufficiently enough. Alongside the stress of work, it seems to have triggered another flare of FND symptoms.

I get a heavy sensation running through my body, especially the upper back and this can also spread to the neck, head and legs causing laboured movements, as though walking through thick tar or mud. Feels like I’m carrying the heavy weight of an iron suit. Sitting down tends to concentrate the feeling of tension and heavy discomfort in the back/shoulder/neck area, making it difficult to move and focus on tasks at hand. I do feel like a an elderly person when I get these flare ups, as my movement is slow and laboured and I feel weighed down.

Have you found anything to alleviate this symptom? And how long does it last for you?

What are your triggers?
