So apparently it’s 2026 already…

If I had to sum up my health in 2025 in one sentence?

Christmas has a funny way of arriving whether you’re ready or not.

They say disabled people are meant to be quiet. Soft. Tragic but inspirational. Grateful.

Three words. All completely different.

Let me just say it: anxiety is a menace.

To those training to become specialists in Functional Neurological Disorder (FND): this is for you.

Every FND journey is different, and today I'm sharing Emmie’s. She’s been one of my closest friends for decades, and her strength, fire, and fierce determination never fail to inspire me.. and so many others. Through the toughest days, Emmie shows up, speaks out, and proves that FND might challenge you… but it doesn’t define you. It’s a privilege to share her words with you.

Every FND journey is different, and today I'm sharing Brian’s. Known to many in the community as King B, he’s a constant source of kindness, strength, and support. Whether it’s checking in, lifting others up, or simply making us smile.. Brian’s presence makes a difference. It’s an honour to share his words with you.

Every FND journey is different, and today I'm sharing Erika’s. She’s a shining part of the FND&US community.. and the disabled community as a whole! Supportive, creative, and full of heart. Erika’s story is one of strength, resilience, and fierce determination. It’s a privilege to share her words with you.

Every FND journey is different, and today I'm sharing Mr B’s. He’s been a steady rock in our community and to myself.. a strong, supportive voice with a wicked sense of humour and a heart of gold. Living life with his woofer Miss Ellie, Mr B brings his own experience, wisdom, and realness to everything he does.

March 25th marks FND Awareness Day, so what better time to talk about what it’s like when your brain and body stop communicating, like a game of ‘This or That’.. except the choices are ‘collapse randomly’ or ‘lose control of your limbs’ and I never get to pick.
