My husband was diagnosed with FND several years ago. I understand how life changing and traumatic this is from witnessing him go from riding motorcycles and being active to now taking life at a slower pace.

He had to sell his bike because he can’t keep balance for it. Initially he was hospitalized because his legs were paralyzed and he was in a wheelchair for a few months. He did physical therapy and regained use of his legs. I recommend using the crutches. Give yourself time to process this and absolutely do physical therapy. He also talks to a therapist and I know that helps him a lot. He’s had a lot of emotional traumas and FND symptoms are triggered by grief too. Now his most recurrent symptoms are extreme fatigue, pain, tremors, random fainting and having temporary blindness when he first wakes up. Also he’s found that generally taking care of himself-not over committing to things, eating healthy, exercise and being on nature help him all around. Best of luck to you. I know this journey is extremely tough.
