In this episode of the FunctionaliTEA podcast, Tausha unpacks the often confusing and unhelpful concept of “prognosis” when it comes to Functional Neurological Disorder (FND).
While many medical conditions come with a clear trajectory, FND is anything but predictable. Tausha explores how symptoms can fluctuate wildly—from day to day, or even moment to moment—and why trying to define a “likely” outcome can feel laughable to those living it.
She also opens up about the limitations of the diagnostic process, the ongoing lack of awareness among primary care providers, and the drop-off in care that often happens after an initial diagnosis. The conversation touches on the emotional impact of medical dismissal and why many people with FND feel left to figure things out on their own.
Tausha emphasizes the importance of creating space for individual experiences, building supportive communities, and advocating for broader awareness—especially during FND Awareness Month. This episode offers both clarity and validation for anyone navigating the uncertainty of this condition.
