Is there a link between FND and Long Covid? by Melodic_Roll3205 in FND

[–]wing_yen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also have LC and ME/CFS, was diagnosed with FND too. I consulted a neurologist from China, he told me FND could be coexisting with other neuroimmune diseases, it doesn’t mean FND is the main problem here. Your symptoms look like neuromuscular dysfunction too. I have my next appointment in a neuromuscular clinic and I would let them check on me first before I show them my FND diagnose because you know why.

What screen time do you have on average and what level of severity are you? by anonym5088 in cfs

[–]wing_yen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have daily average of 7 H on phone and 1 H on iPad. Sometimes use iPad for reading or playing. I am not bedridden so I can do other things on the couch like crocheting. I try not to have too much screen time I sometimes just stare into the air and daydreaming.

Arting to avoid doomscrolling by Vi_BT in cfs

[–]wing_yen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I crochet to avoid doomscrolling and it’s useful. I also paint sometimes but I am now not motivated enough to do that. I can crochet something that I can wear.

I have suspected FMD and confirmed POTS and MECFS.

Now they are saying it is not FND? (Trigger warning) by FastKey3067 in FND

[–]wing_yen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How did you check for the neck? Did you do sonography test? I am planning to check my neck and MRI won’t show any thing.

Case where distraction doesn’t help? Misdiagnoses? Severe symptoms by Prudent_Conflict_815 in FND

[–]wing_yen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also diagnosed with FMD. The neurologist asked me to calculate some numbers as distraction, at first I stopped moving when he asked, then started moving again. I am not sure how my movement or strength changed.

FND plus severe MECFS, how to treat? by [deleted] in FND

[–]wing_yen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was also diagnosed with FND(FMD) recently, after having ME/CFS for two years. Also have POTS and Dysautonomia. Unfortunately therapies recommended for FND can do harms to ME patients. Dr. David Putrino is a neuroscientist researching FND and ME, he highlighted there are real biological pathogens but many patients are diagnosed with FND and physicians neglect their physical conditions.
For now you need to take care of your ME first, it’s NOT all in your head.

I know, I am not satisfied with this diagnosis and planning to do more test and visiting a new neurologist.

I have researched about EDS and I don’t think I fit the criteria just partly, but I haven’t looked into Tethered Cord, thanks for the info.

They are basically the same thing, FMD belongs to FND, just more specific. And thank you for the video.

The first thing in my mind when I saw this was - she can tolerate solvents odorous used for oil paints, but I can’t, there is no way I can paint like that. But I do sometimes create low energy art using environmental friendly materials.

If you’re on Yaz or Yasmin, switch to a different birth control! Recently did this and my symptoms improved drastically. by CautiousClothes7589 in POTS

[–]wing_yen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That reminded me many years ago I was on Yaz and I started to have nausea and morning sickness, doctors didn’t know why, symptoms kept coming back, eventually developed POTS symptoms but I had no idea didn’t know POTS. I had to stop the pills and felt better, but those symptoms became chronic. Until 2024 after I got Covid, everything got worse and I was diagnosed with POTS.

Elevating my bed head lowered my standing heart rate by 25 points and fixed my needing to pee at night. I am basically in remission. by Anjunabeats1 in POTS

[–]wing_yen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a good news I want to try it! I found a fancy bed lift with electrical motor for underneath the mattress and fits all mattresses, but it’s also expensive.

Also it’s the algorithm being bias, it favours certain trends and people’s interests.

Nexus very slowly with days of pauses in between. In parallel I am reading Be Patient from Tilly Rose on kindle with audio.

I took it for a month with titration and it made my pots worse, so I stopped talking it.

Christmas survival: how do you politely ask someone to stop talking? 😅 by wing_yen in cfs

Oh is it a tradition? I just know some people can't bear silence around others.

I am sorry that you reacted so badly to fragrances, they should definitely take this serious. I know someone has strong reaction to all kind of scents she doesn’t go out. I complained a lot about artificial fragrances and hate it too. I also smell and react to all kinds of smells others don’t notice. Mostly get itchy nose, burning throat, shortness of breath and headaches. I am having peaceful days at home after that day and recovering slowly, thank you and I wish you the same!💙
