My American accent inspired pity, empathy and utter confusion. I feel the same: it’s as though we’ve entered hospice care

I'm being reminded via personal experience about what a big deal **attention** is for controlling FND.
Which is hard, because when your leg stops working or is shooting icy pains, it's very attention-grabbing!

I know there's dozens of things to contact reps about every single day, but today please contact them about keeping USPS independent. Privatizing USPS would be devastating for so many reasons, but personally it would destroy my small business if I can't have affordable/accessible service. 5calls.org

The cost of ignoring FND patients is immeasurable—lives lost in silence, potential research halted, and trust in healthcare eroded. It's time for the medical community to step up, listen, and create real pathways to care. #FNDawareness #HealthEquity"

For a long time, our methods allowed us to zoom in on neurons (which traffic in electricity) but not glial cells (which don't). Now that's changed—and we're charting the other half of the brain.
Just one of the topics in our latest episode, w/ Dr. Nicola Allen!
