The Glasgow-born singer announced her diagnosis of Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) along with Trigeminal Neuralgia after undergoing multiple hospital tests. The singer shared her struggles, including difficulty waking and moving her legs. FND impacts the brain and nervous system, resulting in various neurological symptoms such as paralysis and cognitive problems. The cause of FND is not fully understood, although stress and trauma are identified as potential triggers. Treatment is possible through lifestyle adaptations, despite no known cure. McHugh lives in Fermanagh with her family, including two children.
After what has been an incredibly scary and very difficult couple of weeks in hospital having multiple CT scans, MRIs, X-rays, blood tests, lumbar punctures and every kind of test you could imagine, I have just been diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and Trigeminal Neuralgia.
FND is a condition that affects the way the brain and nervous system work, leading to a range of neurological symptoms such as limb weakness, paralysis, seizures, walking difficulties, spasms, sensory issues, cognitive problems and more.
The specific cause for FND is unknown but one of the main triggers is stress, trauma and anxiety. And while there is no cure, it is treatable providing you adapt your life as much as possible to manage it.
