Welcome to the FND PODCAST with Detty For the Month of March and April due to FND Day in March and World FND month APRIL 2021 #FNDAWARE I thought I'd start up this series to explore and talk about Functional Neurological Disorder. Do my part when I can talk or able to speak , to spread awareness about FND. So in this episode I tell you what happened to me to end up with FND and also for those new to FND what it is. https://thefndpodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/1the-hi-welcome-why-the-fnd-podcast-with-detty

FND Dimensions aims to develop a network of ‘peer support groups’ across the UK either in face to face meetings or online via methods such as Skype. By bringing people together on a regular basis, this helps alleviate the isolation that many FND patients feel. It also gives opportunity for others to open up dialog and to talk to others in a similar position about the day to day challenges, issues or concerns with one another.
