Help Backie get back on track

Robert Back, or known by most as Backie, suffered last month with an illness that was thought to be a stroke. After 16 long days in Lincoln, he was allowed to be with his family again back home.

Backie was diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND).
FND describes a problem with how the brain receives and sends information to the rest of the body.

Backie now has a long road to recovery.

I absolutely wish Backie all the best. I understand how frustrating and disabling FND can be as I have it myself. You really never know how a day will turn out. As for making plans... forget it !

It can affect you in many different ways from exhaustion to pain, from falling over to depression, from speech to balance.

On my "worst" day it looks like I'm having a stroke. Speech, co ordination, brain fog and my legs forget that they're supposed to hold me up.

In my case I try to be optimistic and friends and family support you once they understand how it can affect you day to day.

All the best, Backie.
