Functional Neurological Disorder and Fibromyalgia with Gabrielle Hine

The Sunflower Conversations

Gabrielle Hine shares her life-altering journey with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and fibromyalgia. Gabby experiences symptoms such as paralysis, non-epileptic seizures and blindness daily. Gabby paints a vivid picture of how these misfired signals within her nervous system have reshaped her life, leading to a cascade of challenges like anxiety and not being able to work.

We talk about the societal misconceptions that often accompany non-visible disabilities. From the frustration of slurred speech to the heartbreak of having to step away from a career, our conversation delves into the complexities of living with FND and fibromyalgia. We also touch on the unique ways these conditions manifest in individuals, emphasising the importance of personalising support and understanding.
