NICE TO MEET YOU
We're the FND Membership
We are a "no brain, no gain" kind of group--meaning if you don't pay attention to what is happening in the brain, you are not going to have the gains you deserve.
We are an online community of people with FND and the re+active team.
People's lives are changing in many ways as a part of the community! Listen to the transformations people are sharing in the community!
People who finally are around others who "get it"
"Glad to be here. I have never felt more hopeful that finally this FND community has a chance at being a group focused on healing vs. just having a bunch of doctors who don't know much about this condition"
- Anita, A woman with FND
People getting back to life
"I hosted a dinner unplanned with close friends and their kids. It was a lot of physical work and there was plenty of helping hands. This was the first time I have hosted since my FND diagnosis. 5 adults and 5 kids. It looked different than my "normal" dinners but I loved having my favorite people in my home and sharing a meal together. It felt normal for a few moments.
- SD, a person with FND
In this next year, you could…
- Finally understand what is happening in your brain + body with FND.
- Find improvement of symptoms that felt impossible to manage.
- Have a whole new set of tools and treatment options to run with, including ways to address the autonomic nervous system, sensory system, and motor control.
- AND you wouldn't have to do it all alone
Improvement is possible...
Education, activity and support are what can help you get to that next step
