I am extremely impressed by the incredible resilience of the #FNDtwitter community. Dealing with a difficult to manage diagnosis, poor access to care and on top of this being bullied by other patients/patient advocates, they speak the truth and don't let themselves be silenced. I am honored every day to help patients understand #FND in its complexities, develop a treatment plan that addresses core symptoms and comorbidities and work together towards better quality of life. @FNDHope

Today, I’m running the @WonderWomanRun 5k in honor of all patients with functional neurological disorder, who have to fight every day like superheroes to get care they need and manage their often disabling symptoms. Donate to the @FNDSociety for change!
