So lovely to hear Nazanin speaking.

Her words resonate with me even if we had wildly different experiences and my prison was my M.E.

Recovery is a process involving both good and bad and different reflections are still emerging as time passes

Social prescribing shows a significant reduction in stress and an improvement in mental health. 💪

Happy FND Awareness Day!

Thank you to everyone working hard to make a difference, in ways big and small, for this underdog disability community.

Here's an essay I wrote a little while back on the biology and social history of FND.

Young people with Functional Neurological Disorder need protecting from the misinformation and toxicity on social media. #FND is of course real. Research is advancing, medical professionals are being educated, and you have a strong community that care about you 🫶

This absolutely made my day. 💪

Retweeting it to give others some hope it could work for them too. So many recovery stories out there these days!

This is going to be great... I recommend you attend if you work in pain

Wishing everyone a peaceful and happy Easter

Well done to Kim - you are a superstar. You do so much for people with #fnd

Fiona I’ll be shouting about the modality of PRT until my dying day! It gave me my life back after 37 years of chronic pain & like you Fiona I believe people need to know about this modality so they can make their own informed decision

It was understanding we now know the brain uses pain (plus multiple other symptoms) to warn us we aren't safe.

It's both a primitive and sophisticated system as the brain can get things wrong. We can retrain it to understand it's safe so the symptoms calm down over time. 👍

I'm through my surgery and recovering well.

I still draw on the latest science that helped me recover even for times like this when I have physical damage/bruising. A calm nervous system can only be a good thing for healing.

Moments like this are why I'm on here saying 'give this a try.'

The internet can be a horrible place but it can help us reach each other too and that can change lives

Wonderful to see this, well done Lee.

After the last few days I can confidently say one thing

I am at least extremely glad I am not Kate Middleton!
