Lisa McHugh took to her Facebook account to reveal her new health battle with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). She was previously diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia earlier this year.
“FND is a condition that affects the way the brain and nervous system work,” McHugh explained in her Facebook post. “Leading to a range of neurological symptoms such as limb weakness, paralysis, seizures, walking difficulties, spasms, sensory issues, cognitive problems, and more.”
The country music singer then said that the specific cause of the neurological disorder has not been found. However, the known primary triggers are 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,” she continued. “I guess the stress and trauma of this last year and everything we’ve went through has finally caught up with me and my body and it’s now decided to make me physically stop, process and heal from everything properly.”
McHugh was referencing the health struggles she and her family faced last year. Months after birth, her second child experienced numerous health scares, including health scares, including breathing difficulties, two hospitalisations for RSV, and issues such as allergies and iron deficiency.
