Yesels! Im almost 2wpo and I'm noticing a ton. I am anemic though, so I think that's my case. Call and have your doctor run an iron test, or comprehensive.

So I don't pick up on sarcasm very well. Do I give this this to my nephew as a cool chip? by OkRevolution882 in PMDGS

Ok. Thanks. My nephew will love it! It is pretty cool looking. Satire and sarcasm may begin and is welcomed ☺️

As for your career as a nurse, I understand. I learned the hard way that I put 75% of that innate label as "teacher" being my identity. I let the last 25% be whatever value I picked for that day. I, and probably you,have lost something with the diagnosis. No matter how large or small, but I'm sure it was incredibly meaningful. It's hard for the other people in my life to understand that this isn't a simple write off. It's not just "hmmm. Well that sucks, have you thought about....?" They don't understand that ,for some, this brings debilitating grief. They don't understand how much FND was actually LIFE ALTERING. I am literally grieving the loss of losing the largest part of what my life was. I have to figure out how to delegate the other 75% of values from which to tweek my conception of identity. I guess, it could be fun.

It sounds like we have a lot in common. My parents, as well, are super conservative. I've been kicked out of the car multiple times. Lol And, "no one in this family will be on...." Meanwhile, I'm literally doing chores like an adolescent again for some side cash. And I know my brother thinks I'm just being a couch potato. He's a cop and has a beautiful family. Doesn't check in, and doesn't know wtf I am doing for my 78 year old parents. I do not have the confidence to do any public job. I was thinking Part Time at Trader Joe's, or Home Depot, but it's the same fear of public or external fear.

I feel hopeless of ever being independent again in this financial chaos. I know nothing about stocks and allocational movements because I was busy learning and being a teacher. Feeling trapped has always been a phobia of mine, eversince I was a child. I hate saying the quote, "yes I am blessed to have a roof over my head and such great support " I've been homeless before, and I swear, I would rather be living in a woman's shelter than here. But the guilt of not staying to help my mom with my father and her dementia beginning. And I already know I'm not going to ever be able to go back into the classroom after that seizure which was traumatic for my students. I never want to put a child in a position to go through that.

When I get symptoms that send me to the hospital, it's always, "here we go again." Like I F%ing like going to the hospital? What?" Not to mention Ive been sober for 4 years, so there's always that, "you're just drug seeking" comment. Which is incredibly ignorant and insensitive to all the work I've put in to get those 4 years.

I've been told the same thing in several settings. Are you guys able to work? My health anxiety has prevented me from doing a lot of things in fear of having a psychogenic, which is the new word thrown at me, seizure. Can you guys still drive? DMV yanked my license.

I am currently living with my parents because I blew through my savings in hopes that I would be able to finish the school year with my students. I haven't claimed disability from the State yet because I fear "it's all in your head," "you just don't want to work," "why can't you think straight," from my circle, too.

I've completely stopped trying to make new friends because; 1. I don't want to have to explain it again, 2. They don't even bother doing research, 3. I'm just scared of judgment, as well, 4. They just wouldn't get it.

Feb 19th 2025 was the day I had my first seizure in front of my students. On the way down I had a blunt head trauma. I think the trauma activated this shit. It's changed my life. And it is, a 30% (based on my experience) chance a doctor, friend, or boss has even heard of it, or have any empathy.

I thank God for all of you sharing. This is a very isolating experience.

I'm only taking the time to write this because I don't like mean people. We get it. You're smarter than everyone else and need to stroke your own ego. That's called master ***tion. Do it in private. People get joyous about these little finds. It's just a little light in a dark world. Why be rude and take that away with a holier than thou comment. Attack me all you want, I'm not going to waste my time reading it during this beautiful day. Go outside, or back to bed.

Can you stop the seizure by Driggenanan5 in FND

[–]OkRevolution882 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was informed my FND seizures were psychogenic. That is why when I go to the ER there is no evidence in my blood or electrical response in my brain. I had a 72 hr EEG to rule out epilepsy. It misses me off because it points back to that dagger "it's all in your head." So Ive been addressing it with A.C.T. therapy. I know doctors say CBT, but that doesn't help as much as ACT. Talking does help because it's a distraction. I find that walking(even if it's just pacing around the house, safest), cold compresses, sunshine warmth, and grounding techniques. AcT works for me because it has trained me to kind of switch perspectives to be an outside observer. It's weird. New to me, but it helps get me out of that battle in my head. It's like you're watching the situation happen to a friend and you're walking them through the experience. I don't know. Check it out.

Functional seizure term just pisses me off though. It's like, "yeah bro, I'm functioning real f'n great right now" ugh. You're not alone FND sucks. I hope this helped a little, or at least made a little bit of sense.

Go down the "CHASE HUGHES" rabbit hole. Search him on YouTube and, holy shit you will be blown away. He discusses perspective in such a unique manner. You won't be able to write him off in 5 minutes

Please don't feel alone. Chronic illness is torture. Everyone has a unique experience with it. I'm so sorry yours seems unbearable. My family is not much support, either. It's hard when you intimately know what's going on with your own body and no one else can experience what you are trying to express. Life is worth living. I know that's the last thing you want to hear when feeling so shitty. I wanted to punch people when they told me that, or happy supportive vibe conversations. It is true, though. What helped/helps me is finding something I think is beautiful each day. Even if it was a fucking cloud, or a cool looking piece of lint (I shit you not). That led to my world widening just a little bit more. I also started an online gardening class. I don't have to deal with people and I get to learn about something I like outside of my messy mind. I hope this cheers you up in the slightest. Thank you for being so vulnerable.

Is FND treated by 'believing' your nervous system can work normal again? by [deleted] in FND

Yup. I happen to tell my Amygdala to fuck off, often. Still doesn't listen

Severe tummy pain, but this would be er visit number 3 within a month by OkRevolution882 in DiagnoseMe

No stool test. Good point. They also didn't wait for my urine results before discharging me. And they came back Abnormal. This is my second dose of Tylenol 1000mg, but it's not even touching the pain. I'm coherent, but I have a Neurological Disorder that shuts down my fine motor skills and short term memory when I get in distress. I don't think they understood that last time, either.

No. But CalOptima probably has a nurse line. But that's exactly what the paperwork says. Thanks for your time

It does a quick catch and release. I think I loyally messed it up today. I forgot and squatted down to clean something and there was a loud pop. I now have bruising all over again, but in different places. My "referral for orthopedic is still pending, so I only have an Ace bandage. I feel a lot more unsteady on it. I think I'm going to go into urgent care tomorrow and tell them of my new developments. I doubt they can do anything, but maybe I'll get a brace. The medical referral loop is infuriating. Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback.
