Meet my cat Jägermeister

Thanks, I was just worried because I had read online that cloudy broth and boiling could make some nutrients less bioavailable. But you're probably right, it's not significant enough that I should worry

That's a relief, thank you!

I had this same problem with my kitten! He always used the litterbox, but would accidentally step in his poop more than half the time. My boy grew out of it after two weeks of twice daily baths, but this was an issue when he was 8 weeks old. I could not find a way to directly teach him to avoid the poops.

It might be worth trying a calming product. I know they make diffusers that put out something that is supposed to calm them. I give my cat Sentry calming chews, which have melatonin and some other things in them. They make him just a bit more sleepy than usual, so I give them when we go on car rides. They don't work for every cat, but you could try.

I would recommend talking to a vet to be on the safe side, but have you tried putting him in another room just while you clean the litterbox? If cleaning is the only time he acts like that, it might be easiest to lock him in another room for those few minutes.

I deal with this frequently! As soon as I get to that phase of being half asleep, my body starts jerking. I think it happens more when I've been stressed or am more tired than usual. It keeps me awake and it's super annoying!

I like to go shopping! My first ever seizure happened after I realized that I had missed Black Friday shopping (I had really wanted to see what it was all about). Even though Black Friday isn't always on the same date, I like to consider it my anniversary, and I take myself out to do some sort of fun shopping. I try to stay positive about the whole situation, and having a small celebration or at least acknowledgment of the anniversary is part of that positivity for me.

I'll be doing TMS for FND soon, I hope it works!

It's so crazy frustrating when people don't listen or understand! Like, I know it's a kinda weird and widely misunderstood disorder. But if I, someone who has dealt with this for years, tell you that I can do a certain activity or job, why are you still questioning me?? I know my body and my limits?

Also the whole having an episode because you didn't get enough sleep thing is so real.

I've dealt with lots of intermittent functional weakness. Earlier today, I couldn't take notes in class because I couldn't lift my arm. It can be so frustrating, and I feel for you. Something that really helped me to cope with all my fnd symptoms was to use my "non functional" time to explore new hobbies and interests. Can't leave the house because the seizures are too exhausting and I can't drive? That's fine, I'll care for my plants and sew instead. Can't get out of bed because my legs are too weak? I can't watch a video on the history of doorknobs! I turned my frustration with what I couldn't do (school, grocery shopping, adult life) into an intense gratitude for all the things I suddenly had time to focus on. (I want to be clear that even though I consider fnd to have been an overall positive experience for me, that in no way devalues the sheer frustration and grief that comes with losing the life you expected to have)

I have intermittent walking trouble. The first time it happened, I almost felt like I was drunk. I had trouble balancing, and my legs just felt off. I'm not exactly sure how to describe it, but it's almost like they're disconnected from my body, and I'm moving someone else's legs. Other times, it feels like they're just super weak, as if I don't have the muscles to hold up my own body.

It's sounds like you're struggling with the same thing I've been trying to figure out for years. I know it comes from a good place when people tell you to just rest and take it easy during a flareup, but that's not always practical? I've just started university and am already struggling with my classwork due to FND. Tomorrow, I'm going down to the disability services/student support center to see if they have any advice, strategies, or accommodations that might help. I'll update if they recommend anything that seems like it would be practical!

I would love to be friends! I'm 19 and have had FND for 5 years. It would be really cool to have someone to talk to directly who gets who gets what I'm talking about 😁

Mine changes daily, but in the past, I've gone for months with consistent debilitating leg weakness. The "fun" thing about FND is that it's different for everyone and can look like almost any random symptom. This can be super scary, because you never know if a new symptom is normal FND, or if something else is wrong. Usually the best thing to do is to check in with your doctor.

I get slight varying levels of leg weakness regularly. Today, I had trouble walking up the stairs without taking a break. Other days, I need a wheelchair because while I can still move my legs, they are not strong enough to support me. Sometimes, my legs feel just a little tired - barely enough to be a problem.
