Hi everyone I'm new here.

I have 3 children, 15 (NB), 14 (trans male), DD 11.
15 year old has Functional Neurological Disorder, Non Epileptic Attack Disorder, Tourettes Syndrome and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder.

14 year old has a rare genetic disease called EB, plus mental health issues.

11 Year old has the same rare genetic disease as 14 Yr old.

All three are ambulatory wheelchair users although the eldest has the worst mobility as they have seizures and paralysis as a part of the FND.

I'm struggling so much with it all at the moment. Husband is also chronically ill and I just feel like I have no support. I'm so alone 😔

Anyone else have any experiences with these conditions?
