This isn't the update I wanted to share.
For the last few weeks my symptoms have been getting worse.
More pain. More fatigue. More headaches. And new problems developing in my left leg that feel uncomfortably familiar.
Then on Monday evening I felt a sudden pop in the back of my neck.
Within minutes I had a severe headache, dizziness, increased numbness and heaviness down my right side, pain in my neck and lower back, and strange sensations across my face and forehead.
NHS 111 sent an ambulance.
The paramedics couldn't tell me what was causing it and advised a trip to A&E.
After spending most of the night in hospital, I was eventually discharged with pain relief and a promise that Neurology would be contacted.
Today, almost 24 hours later, the headache is still here.
The symptoms are still worse than my normal baseline.
The fatigue is overwhelming.
And right now I can barely speak properly, which is why there isn't a video.
Living with FND is difficult enough.
Living with new symptoms and no clear answers is something else entirely.
People often see the moments of progress.
The walk without the stick. The bike rides. The achievements.
What they don't always see are the days when everything stops.
The days when your body simply refuses to cooperate.
So this is one of those honest updates.
No motivation. No inspirational message. No lesson.
Just the reality of where I am today.
For now, the goal isn't progress.
It's stability.
It's resting, recovering, and hoping tomorrow is a little better than today.
