Welcome to FND FrieNDs

A committed group to support and educate those who have a diagnosis of FND

About FND FrieNDs

FND FrieNDs, based in the South West of England aims to support and educate those who have a diagnosis of Functional Neurological Disorder, as well as helping to encourage greater understanding within the medical profession of this fairly common but little understood condition. Often known as FrieNDs, this website is intended to be for those given a diagnosis of FND, plus their friends, family/carers. Depending on whom you are talking to, the area covered by the South West can vary so if in doubt, please get in touch!

A diagnosis of FND can be bewildering, scary, lonely, isolating and may cause many other emotions besides. The actual process of diagnosis that you may have or may be going through can also be the cause of worry, depression and frustration.

FND FrieNDs hopes to show you that you are not alone, and that there are many people with similar issues. FND FrieNDs are working to create a network of support groups across our region, where people, families and carers can meet, share experiences and ideas but most of all, have fun in a safe, non-judgemental and friendly atmosphere whether in a pub or one of our local craft sessions.

You are all amazing and especially as you have your own FND, daily lives and troubles along the way to deal with. I couldn’t do what you, Emma and Jess do, you three really are angels and you are valued very much by myself.

As I have said any times, the FND Friends and Kev and Emma were my life savers, and kept me from drowning in those early days, and I know they are there when ever I need help, support or just company. Xx
