FND/POTs Support Group
Support group for functional neurological disorder (FND) and POTS. Join us if you identify or want to know more about living with the symptoms/conditions below.
Functional neurological disorder (FND) is a brain network disorder. The nervous system is intact but there is a problem with functioning. The brain fails to send and/or receive signals (messages) correctly. This can result in two main categories of symptoms: functional seizures and/or motor symptoms (tics, limb weakness). It is important to know that FND is still not fully understood and there is currently more research being done into the mechanisms of symptoms.
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) can be life altering and debilitating when simply standing up can be a challenge as the body is unable to adjust to gravity. It is a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system that controls; heart rate, blood pressure regulation, digestion, bladder control, sweating and the stress response.
The evidence so far has shown that a large proportion of people with FND and POTS get a reduction and sometimes recover completely as they age and receive the appropriate treatment.
Speak with student health nurses if you want to know more.
