1/Great to be on Bluesky- to get started here’s a mega thread on what I know about #FND and how to have the best chance of beating it. It's just my personal view- so not set in stone - I hope people will find it helpful.

"I made this pact a while ago that because #MS is a part of me I will love it, because I have to love myself"

Sandra in Australia, I can't get your words out of my mind 🧡

I see so many ppl struggle with the "warrior" mentality...pushing through, feeling a burden, highly self-critical...

Word of the day is a favourite, from old Scots.

To ‘tartle’ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.

Predictive models are a great tool for advising people with #epilepsy about their individualised risks around surgery BUT we tend to approach this from a clinician-centred perspective, focusing on cognition.

What patients say matters most (outside of seizure freedom/reduction):

Question for my #neuropsychology colleagues. Do you prefer using regression-based demographic norms over traditional (e.g., age-stratified) norms? What are your reasons for favoring one over the other?

As disabled people, we are worth more than our economic productivity. Access to therapy and healthcare should never depend differentially on our participation in work programmes or being deemed 'work-ready.' Care is a right, not a reward. #WhitePaper #GetBritainWorking

Here's a few #neuropsychology podcasts that I've been enjoying. Let me know if you have any more recommendations (neuropsych or otherwise)!

Wow, what a fantastic resource! I think the most engaging neuroanatomy tool from my student days was The Human Brain Colouring book...doesn't quite match the production value on offer here! 😅
This is an excellent #neuroanatomy resource. I have been using it with my students for a number of years:

Looking forward to digging into this later. There's so much momentum building in clinical and research worlds to improving what we can offer people living with #FND. Very much needed.
