Hi, i posted last year with a few awful symptoms. I was diagnosed with FND in December but complained after waiting 40 weeks for urgent appointment, I was out within 10 minutes. I do not dispute FND I just did not feel the first neuro listened to anything i had to say and said it must be FND as spinal MRI 3 years ago was clear- ive never had brain MRI. I got an appointment 3 weeks ago with another neuro and had my first brain MRI 2 weeks ago.
During my 2nd neuro exam, he said my eyes twitch during one of the tests but didnt really elaborate. He also said my reflexes in my feet go between normal and babinski. I was wondering if anyone else has this noticed and what it could be?
My current symptoms are: dizzyness, itchy feet- unbelievable itchy and shooting pains.
Thank you
So sorry to hear you’re going through this @Alex23 - must be frustrating to not feel listened to and like your symptoms aren’t matching up with your diagnosis.
I sadly don’t have any good advice here but really feel for you - not fun to feel ushered out and unheard, as well as bottom of the priority list. Definitely keep track of your symptoms and do let medical staff know if something doesn’t feel quite right.
A neuro exam I had in hospital with my last bad relapse said my feet were babinski which I think indicates a central nervous system problem. I presented with stroke like symptoms which included a twitching eye. That stopped after steroid treatment. I wasn’t officially diagnosed then but everyone knew what I had.
I don’t know much about FND but I’m guessing the symptoms are similar in some ways. Hopefully the brain MRI will give you definitive results!
