One of the more frustrating aspects to functional neurological disorder is that it's destroyed my understanding of symbols as words. Like the equal sign with the strike through it that means "no" that people have in their bios--I can't interpret that. It's frustrating with lab work. 1/ #NEISvoid

I just got my lab work back. (It often comes in the middle of the night.) I had to go find my eldest kid (23) and have them explain the "greater than" and "less than" signs. They explained and then tried the whole "crocodile eats" thing (which I used before FND) but the recognition is gone. 2/
