Canberra make-up artist Mel White had just reached her lifelong goal with a job working on the Baz Luhrmann film Elvis when her life drastically changed.
Two years ago, Mel started noticing she was bumping into things, losing her balance, having severe brain fog and couldn't get rid of a headache for a straight week.
Multiple medical appointments later, she was diagnosed with functional neurological disorder (FND), a common neurological movement disorder caused by a malfunctioning brain.
