...I'm probably not surprising anyone / doing a 'spoiler' by clarifying that the article certainly doesn't suggest the wonderful expertise of biomedical scientists who have looked into migraine cures and medications might be drafted in by them to help get to the bottom of their FND patients..
I've taken a pause before looking properly at the last two papers. But, as you've mentioned it, one is on headache and the other migraine (Migraine associated with conversion disorder (Babinski's migraine). Analysis of a series of 43 cases - ScienceDirect )
The headache one...
...the results section it is noted that 31 of their sample had a history of organic neurological disorder: 15 with organic brain disease (inc migraine, epilepsy, parkinsons) and 16 with 'neurological diorder no brain disease' (inc 9 having previous disc surgery, 3 Peripheral nerve palsy, and...
...FND subtypes (i.e., motor, seizure, and speech variants). In linear regression analyses, lifetime history of an anxiety disorder, history of migraine headaches, current cognitive complaints, and a comorbid major neurologic condition independently predicted individual differences in sensory...
"Chloe Beak lives with chronic, debilitating migraines, which leave her unable to attend school for days at a time. But instead of receiving support from her school, her parents have been fined by the local authority for her truancy.

...helpful when I was well enough to travel in that when I went on longer trips, such as China or Antarctica in that I always had a range of migraine, anti nausea and anti diarrhoea medication. So much that I worried going through customs. Also once I identified my food intolerances he tested...
...I was ill for 5 years before the diagnosis occurred to me and some people presumably never get diagnosed at all (they may get diagnosed with something else e.g. Fibromyalgia, Migraine, IBS, depression, etc.), while if a family member has it the diagnosis may be more likely to be considered.
Not sure about IBS or migraine, but I can reliably reproduce PEM, and you probably can too. All I had to do was to walk just 5% faster on my bi-daily walk. It's just that you can't reliably prevent PEM. You need to account for all cumulative exertion for several days to make any kind of...
...I doubt it.
I might have an attack of IBS, or my leg muscles might go dead, or I might feel too dizzy to stand up, or I might have retinal migraine in one of my eyes so that I can't see to read, or I might feel pretty much fine. All of these have happened in the last three hours, and may or...

(Edited to add: eek, it got long!
TLDR: the PEM of ME/CFS so far got sidetracked to a "how it feels" questionnaire study, designed by Stussman. Stussman and Walitt also developed "an interview tool for assessing post-exertional malaise. This tool will be used in an NIH study of...
...the medical journals.
No, that isn't how it is defined. Schizophrenia is not tied to structural change and nobody calls it FND, nor migraine as far as I know. FND specifically relates to a clinical pattern that shows some signs that it ought to be related to a specific localised abnormality...
...discussing this group of patients at all.
The other point I'd make is that I suspect quite a few of these "FND" diagnoses are probably bogus. I have my doubts about the average A&E registrar's ability to differentiate "functional stroke" from hemiplegic or basilar artery migraine, for...
Prodrome Glia is my #1 recommendation for anyone with #MECFS and #LongCovid with "neuro symptoms" (including brain fog, cognitive issues, migraine, headache, tinnitus etc). It comes in liquid form! If the capsules are sold out (as they often are) just buy the liquid. Its even easier to take for...
...have a headache of some kind, varying from fairly mild background ones to murderous. A doctor who asked me to describe them said they were migraine type, but I didn't have auras then . When I first had an aura I saw a GP, but he didn't seem interested. My auras are rare, either orange...
