In the past I've mentioned that my wife (of 40 years) suffers from Functional Neurological Disorder.... now in a meeting of two aspects of my private life, my friend's daughter (who is a GP & blogger) has written an excellent guide to FND for those unaware or only vaguely aware, of the condition (which I usually describe as a software problem not a hardware one).

If you're interested in knowing more about FND then I can heartily recommend Charlotte's blog.

@noodlemaz @ChrisMayLA6 claiming emf sensitivity doesn't make sense because emf are "evrywhere" is a rather nonsensical position to take, so we 're not sensitive to water or airpressure either ..?
as heredetary nomads a sense of emf direction at least would be evolutionarily logical, while the extreme surge in usage of emf emitting devices does account for people getting overwhelmed by them, meanwhile, I don't care for people trying to deny me my lived experiences, emf sensitivity exists ...
