My name is Alicia Williams, I am known as Chronically Alicia on social media. I am 23 years old, live in the United Kingdom and suffer from a condition called Functional Neurological Disorder, or FND for short.

My name is Muriel, and I was diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) on June 2, 2023, after a 16-year wait from my first major symptom.

I wouldn’t necessarily say I have had an unadventurous life. I have had my share of curveballs thrown my way in life. Some may say that I have had more than my fair share of problems, but whose definition of 'fair' are we going by? Who hasn’t had problems in life? We all have a story.

​

I have been battling Functional Neurological Disorder, also known as FND, since 2016. My symptoms first started when I was 12, but then rapidly deteriorated to the point where I had all my abilities taken away from me.

Greetings, I'm Michael Crawford Hick, a former globetrotting robotics engineer turned world traveler extraordinaire. In the summer of 2016, I decided to ditch the daily grind and embark on an epic journey through Asia and Australia. After 23 months, 10 countries, and a whopping 35,000 photos later, I finally returned to the UK.

When I first started ticcing, it came on all of a sudden. During August 2021, I went from having an involuntary shoulder jerk to experiencing coprolalia (swearing tics) within just a few weeks.
