Undiagnosed conditions information sheet and related resources
An undiagnosed condition is one where someone experiences symptoms but does not have a formal diagnosis. In some circumstances, a person may have definite symptoms but further investigations do not point to a clear diagnosis.
This information sheet explains the process of getting a diagnosis and why neurological conditions are sometimes difficult to diagnose. It also contains some useful contacts to help you if you are undiagnosed.

Patient perspectives on undiagnosed conditions
Living with neurological problems
An anonymous person writes about the neurological problems she had following a head injury. "To be able to cope with not knowing what is wrong means becoming one’s own advocate, or trusting someone to do this for you. It means challenging people who are trying to label you. It means believing in what one’s body is saying, and not being hard on oneself when everything gets too difficult," she says.
