Girl left unable to walk or talk due to rare condition she thought was just a cold (diagnosed with FND)

A17-year-old girl who thought her tics had started due to a recent “nasty cold” suddenly had her life “put on hold” when she was left unable to walk or talk and suffering almost daily seizures.

Amy-Louise Beaumont, now 19, from Oswestry, in Shropshire, was a “very healthy” teenager, dreaming of university and a career as a human rights lawyer in October 2022, when she suddenly started experiencing tics and bodily twitches.

Just five days later, she was admitted to hospital unable to walk or talk and diagnosed with functional neurological disorder (FND) – a rare problem with how the brain receives and sends information to the rest of the body – and functional hyperkinetic movement disorder (FHMD), which can cause abnormal involuntary movements.

I knew a guy who was told this sort of thing after what seemed like a routine infection. Long story short, it turned out to be Sydenham’s chorea.
