Ask Mia

Lived experience. Real answers.

Real questions from real teens with FND. Answered by Mia — a real teen with lived experience (not a clinician, not AI).

I’ve got FND, and so does my mum, but it affects us in completely different ways. Different symptoms, different triggers, same confusing condition. I’ve also somehow survived GCSEs while dealing with FND and Tourette’s, which was honestly a lot. This is a space for the questions you actually want to ask, answered by someone who genuinely gets it because I’ve lived it too. No lectures. No medical leaflet energy. Just real answers, honest support and zero judgement.

I usually reply same day.

I won’t put other people’s full names, or anything I wouldn’t want online.
