Campaigners say there is no specific plan for FND patient care on the NHS and this can lead to patients being 'thrown from one department to another'.
FND has a number of symptoms including seizures, spasms and chronic pain, but they are often dismissed as being purely psychological.
"One way of thinking about it is that it's a problem with being able to access or control your own body normally so you have a situation where the person is trying as hard as they can, all the basic wiring is ok, but people can't seem to access it in a normal way."Because of the way the condition unusually intersects between neurology and psychiatry, many patients say they are stigmatised.
