What drives this FND advocate❓
A firm belief that individuals don't need to struggle in silence with unexplained, undiagnosed functional symptoms, like I did. Symptoms which may include migraine headaches, irritable bowels, gait disorders, and/or terrifying seizures. Every BODY, is unique in how it experiences Functional Neurologic Disorder.
What was wrong with me, I'd wondered.
After seven years of medical investigation I learned I had something called Functional Neurologic Disorder (FND) in February 2021. But, what the heck was FND and would I survive it ❓
What I had believed on Day 1, post diagnosis, was that a spark of Hope had been planted. I wanted to be well. Three years later, I'm not cured, although I am joyful healthy, and living virtually symptom free. That's enough.
Wednesday, August 22nd, I watched on #MSNBC as #MichelleObama spoke at the #DNC and urged Americans to:
This Canadian's passion to raise awareness about #FND & #MentalHealth advocacy was re-ignited. I will do somet
What can one person do❓ So much, I've realized❗️
I choose to make a difference in my community, my country, and online, as a global citizen.
I choose a growth mindset, and to use my strengths and skills to make a difference.
I choose to show up for myself with courage and to share my story with conviction knowing I have the support of my faith, my family, my community and my values.
I choose to advocate for others, in addition to myself, knowing we're all worthy.
I choose to eliminate stigma and mindfully choose my words and actions at home, at work, in my community, country and how I show up online.
Information and knowledge ought to be accessible to EVERYONE❗️
We're #StrongerTogether
Let's do more.
I'd written the manuscript and secured an agent.
Traditional publishing houses loved the book, but weren't confident there was a market.
Did I give up? No!
I became a published Indie author when my publisher: Jeff Ourvan, believed there was.
Was there a market? Of course... there's an increrasing prevalence of individuals being diagnosed with functional symptoms.
Would anyone want to read my book? Maybe.
Would it sell? I hoped.
There would be no take backs. Of that, I was certain.
Was it scary? Absolutely.
Was it worth the risk? I hope and prayed that the answer would be yes.
If only one copy sold, if it sparked hope for even one, the risk would be my reward.
Was it? yes.
