Maybe they know some patients can cut through the fantasy so they have to create buz words to hide the fantasy because the patients know they have nothing.

Or maybe it's missing in action.

Hasn't this model proven to be fake but they still like to push it

Reminds me of a quote from Frances Allen from twitter about FND where he says it's to easy for Neurologist to dish out a quick FND diagnosis and blame psych issues rather than to find the real diagnosis. He also is implying that many Neurologists have a lackluster diagnostic ability and biases...

I remember reading about Hoover's and there are instances where someone with a proper neurological disorder have a positive one. Some conditions I have come across are MS, Ataxia and Parkinson's. So it that's the case they cannot say it's 100% specific

To me me fnd is a made up diagnosis because the way a doctor reacts. I had clear pathology tests that something was wrong which was a elevated protein in CSF and it was dismissed.

Maybe that's the point it's a only in the eyes of the doctor not in any physical evidence. So there is limited research into the early detection of disease when physical and imaging testing is negative. So more effort should be in into research to devise more robust tests. So they should give up...

Here is another one for @dave30th another misquote about prevalence. This should be a warning for all doctors about the diagnosis of fnd and the possibility of organic illness. So fnd is all in the mind of the doctor.

Same question here. To be brief I had my first ms episode about 4 years ago when I had a attack and ended up paralyzed from the chest down. All the MRIs where clear but I had elevated protein levels in CSF fluid. One neuro wanted to diagnose me as fnd but I told him about the elevated levels...

There was a paper where a new type of MRI can now detect the smallest differences in white matter that was previously not seen. @SNT Gatchaman posted the article about 7t MRI.

I wonder if some of these fmds are caused by pre natal or natal brain damage that can not be seen or some kind of brain development disorder like autism. Or a autoimmune disorders that attack the muscle or nervous systems Or genetic disorders that cause the brain to not form properly...

Why is Why is he mocking us when there are clear deficiencies in the theory and application. If FND was structural all along clearly there was a biological explanation rather than a psychological one. Why where they gas lighting patients and the damage it was doing Clearly there is...

He is still clinging on to the predictive coding model even though it doesn't work as suggested. Fnd is a learner behaviour problem according to him but as knowledge of anatomy increases many of these problems may be biological but he doesn't want to admit it

If a neuro isn't up to date or biased I see a lot of organic illnesses have a positive Hoover's such as ataxia that was written by the king of fnd dr S so there is still a chance of misdiagnosis if they are not careful But we all know what they mean by functional conversion disorder

I still can see how a sign such Hoover's can indicate a functional illness.

So the rule in signs such as Hoover's can indicate a organic illness but what happens is we see bias towards a psych illness in the minds of neuros.

This seems to coming from a wired scientist. Everytime someone has a symptom we are mentalising some inner mental state To produce some certain symptoms how bizarre

They are showing their true colours they have a find mindset being biased towards the diagnosis. They will always diagnose fnd even if the evidence says otherwise. Recalling several papers come to mind prion disease diagnosed as fnd, ms diagnosed as fnd when MRI is clear, two papers come to mind...

When a biological cause is found the doctors pushing this never discuss the harm they do or they try to explain it using functional overlay. Or the harm they do when advocating psychology or rehabilitation treatments.

I wonder if anyone does research to the effect of giving a patient this label and when symptoms get worst and the doctor dismissal of symptoms and further investigations, the depression and anxiety the label caused
