I am finding unconcious bias is forming a barrier in actually getting assessed. I have one neurolgist who suspects autoimmune disease and/or Parkinson’s and also knows of fully resolved ptsd 10yrs ago. Ptsd was treated with hospital admission, 26 sessions of EMDR, one to one counselling and cpn/psychiatrist support. No neurological symptoms at time and relates to a car crash. Due to circumstances relating to my son living with me full time had to have assessments etc so he could stop and no evidence of ptsd found.

At same time another neurologist who has not seen me or assessed me knows about ptsd but not the circumstances above and just written it off to functional neurological disorder. It’s a stigma I cannot get rid off but I am fighting the nhs over this.
