Hi neighbours,
My name is Rebekah and I was newly diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder and Movement Disorder also. I was left by ACC with no income due to Winz criteria and also wheelchair bound.
I am planning to get this condition recognised as a physical neurological disability that doesnt go away. It isn't temporary to access funding and things.
I have a big heart and my aim is to get it recognised worldwide so people can access funding and more assistance and also not being told "they are mental, it's all in your head, it's your brain tricking you" it goes alot deeper than that. It causes physical symptoms.
Also fnd people have other conditions it isn't all related to fnd...
I have been rejected funding which resulted in mental health going downhill and also ACC putting it down as mental and dropping me this year. I had to self refer my physio as my dr did nothing because not many understand it. There also isn't enough knowledge therefore not enough help out there for us.
I would also like any that are diagnosed with this later in life to have no more mistreatment and disbelief as I have constantly and get access to funding and also make it viral so everyone knows it exists and it is very debilitating.
Please if you could sign it would really help ☺️
