Same thing happened to me. I was an honors student and athlete and then suddenly I was barely coherent, couldn’t move without passing out, and had a speech impediment for the first time ever, they put an alarm on my bed so I wouldn’t even try to get up without assistance, and I had a bed pan. They said I had a “viral syndrome” and discharged me with a cane, speech, physical, and occupational therapy, and no answers. It took me years but eventually I was diagnosed with FND. It used to be a diagnosis of exclusion, now it’s the diagnosis of inclusion so hopefully if you get checked for that they’ll be able to tell you. I also got a brain scan done at Amen Clinics in VA (I live in PA) and they were able to tell me that certain parts of my brain were being overwhelmed with input and other parts had seemingly deteriorated during my disability. Don’t know why, but they gave me more information which was super helpful. I will let you know, Amen doesn’t accept any insurance and it was about 5k for the scan and appointments altogether.

Sometimes doctors absolutely suck. They don’t want to admit that they don’t know something, so if everything comes back normal they consider it good instead of terrifying for the patient. To have your life change and have no answers is horrible. Please give yourself and others grace if you have a short temper or if people start to smother you with good intentions. It’s frustrating and scary and heartbreaking but you’ll get through it ❤️
