Michael Klim and rare disease cipd Former Australian swimmer Michael Klim has just been diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease cipd I wonder how many times he has been diagnosed as functional before.

Most of these tests have very low specificity and can not be trusted as a main diagnostic tool. There is no gold standard to diagnose fnd. Quote from why fnd is bulshit. Poor, self-fulfilling, diagnostics: “Given the physiological evidence that functional movements are voluntary in nature” →...

All this FND crap will do devalue the complete medical profession. Smart patients will lower the respect a doctor gets. They will stop going or not take treatments

Good to hear about the group. But the real change has to come from the neuros themselves. Always fnd approach has to go. Anything unexplained or atypical is always never fnd. Fnd is concept only. It has no definite pathophysiology only a set conjectures not on any theories.

From personal experience I think it would be more common then they would like to believe. By that I mean the misdiagnosis rate is such a high number that are would be embarrassed to publish a number

I think fnd is completely pseudo-science and a lot of bias is expressed in both research and clinical practice. It is also very circular. I did like the article in tullers twitter account about a misdiagnosis and the huge payout. That should have the alarm bells ringing or will mit be glossed...

That post made my day. I hope a lot more patients see through their crap but it looks like only the scientific and intelligent ones can.

Maybe they have the strongest belief on their theories nothing can be shown to disprove them only to increase their beliefs. So actual scientific evidence can disprove them proves they were actual pseudo-science

You could write a whole story on the failings of the DSM bible too Medication of mental disorders Side effects addiction and withdrawal effects of pyschiatry medicines Ineffectiveness of psychotherapy There is plenty to the chew the fat for anti pyschiatry

I had a very disturbing incident while on holiday. Brief story I woke up one morning and had full paralysis from the waist down. Immediately went to er after a week in hospital the diagnosis was never explained to me but the diagnosed me with fnd. A week or too later a read the hospital report...

That Perez musr be a printing press for garbage papers. He is trying drum up so much hype on fnd it looks and feels like a newspaper or TV ad campaign but for the medical profession if you don't look for meanings

That's really history of medicine since the year dot. If a physical cause is not found the assumption is always that the disease is purely psychological. It's harming patients and causing trauma and distrust in the profession which should know better. So the years of medical seem to be wasted...

May be researchers have got such a strong belief in their fictious concept nothing will get in their way even if they find something biological. Considering hysteria conversion disorder now fnd has been around for 100 years. Thoughts or repressed trauma can never cause physical symptoms. If...

That brings me to another point why are clinical mri so behind the maximum is about 3T where as experimental mri is about 10T So imagine how much they can learn about the brain with such high resolution. .may be they can find the biological reason for fnd

The theory seems to be flimsy in my opinion. Reconnections may occur in stroke patients but there is always seems to be after effects and they are not always 100% fine Similarly for neurological diseases where neurons die usually are never going to get full connections

What is brain plasticity and why is important for fnd.

Even some rare and more common neurological diseases with non standard initial presentations have no definite tests or cannot be seen in mri initially until damage is done and symptoms become worst can all be classed as fnd and getting a proper diagnosis will become near impossible.

My question to this forum is this. How many other conditions are they missing if fnd is a rule in diagnosis? Genetic myopathies and dystrophies Mitochondrial disease Autoimmune conditions especially if they are serum negative. That's why I think fnd is a useless and dangerous diagnosis...

A new article about fnd. Is he trying to shift emphasis but I doubt it Diagnosis and management of functional neurological disorder BMJ 2022; 376 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.o64
