Gold Star Award for Jacquie

Congratulations to our Gold Star award winner Jacquie

Jacquie was diagnosed with FND, or Functional Neurological Disorder in September of 2023. Jacquie’s symptoms initially presented with her dragging her leg, which she initially thought was due to some injuries from her active life hiking, running and cycling.

Unfortunately, Jacquie’s symptoms continued to worsen, and she developed an altered walking pattern, a fear of walking on the flat and high levels of fatigue. Since receiving her diagnosis, Jacquie has worked hard to educate herself on FND and has taken on every piece of advice given by her therapist!

Jacquie has used a variety of distraction techniques, such as bouncing or throwing a ball while walking and writing a plan for the week to plan/manage her energy.

We are happy to say that Jacquie is now back to walking from Clovelly to Bondi, regular bush-walks and is looking forwards to a trip to Canada!
