THANK YOU so much for shredding light on such symptoms and disorders. No ONE ever 'believes' unexplained disorders..

[johannahandersen]

Yes, but how much trauma has been done to some of us for being dismissed for our physical symptoms being somatic because we've always been brushed off to psychiatry instead of exploring complaints further.

[kkilljoy]

A Dr at Mayo Clinic told me: when we can explain it, we call it neurology; when we can’t explain it yet we call it psychiatry.
He was an older Dr and I had commented I found it odd his degree had come from (I can’t recall the exact college) Dept of Neurology and Psychiatry.

Nowadays we don’t really see those as linked anymore, but apparently it used to be thought of as fairly obvious….at least within the medical community.

Weird how many people suffering with long-covid have a lot of these symptoms, but can't explain where they came from.

[TheKrispyfort]

And I wish the ED staff would stop telling patients that they're faking it for attention and narcotics

[enoch]

it would be so good if you could make a video about conversion disorder in the emt and ER setting.
I know there's not a lot of education or even compassion in the world of first responders with his kind of thing.
I'd like to see that change.

Was diagnosed with this 3yrs ago. Instantly lost my ability to walk and took tons of specialists and therapies and a very long time to regain walking again at a normal level

I experience all of these symptoms and they can be exacerbated by psychological stress, but i also have fibromyalgia and extreme joint hypermobility. For me, put those two together and it's a solid explanation of where my symptoms come from. It's taken a long time to get here and put the pieces together 😅

Yes, it is good to have this subject brought up and discussed knowing that these disorders are possible will help a lot of people relax

[LadyMidnight]

Could we get a longer please? Would really appreciate it.
After our dog passed away, my dad had difficulty swallowing. Doctors couldn't find a cause

I developed conversion disorder while going through chemo at the Mayo clinic. My brother was dying of liver cancer in another state. I also was septic. It was the perfect storm.
Mayo put me on a bed and took me to the ER. I had a bunch of people from neurology and psychiatry. They stood around looking at me like I was a museum display.
When they left the nurse came in and told me they needed the room. The ER was for sick people and I wasn't sick.
I could barely walk. I could barely talk. I couldn't stop crying. I've never been able to drive again.
Conversion disorder ruined my life.

Im glad you mentionned swallowing difficulties .nobody seemed to understand

Thank you for this... I have been trying to figure out why I have so many seizures and learned that it was a symptom of severe past trauma. Doctors like to call them pseudo seizures, still.... Which makes me feel like absolute shite as if they're calling me a faker or a "pill seeker."
Now, I can talk with my psych, therapist, and neuro about this to see what we can do as a team to tackle the root issues.
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one.

[yecat]

i think this is me. i have had unexplained seizures. mris and cat scans didn’t show anything wrong with my brain. and both seizures were from stressful situations.

I found this today in the dsm after months of having tic-like symptoms. Im still at the start of researching, but i just thought id say this here; its just so nice to finally get closer to a possible explanation.

Since late 2021 ive been having feelings that perfectly match symptoms of a Premonitary urge, i need to either fully relax or tense my core to ‘force it out’. Happens in public and at home where i need to stand still and fall about because of it.

Edit: i also have times i need to shake my hand, or jerk/shiver. So yeah

[freeexpress]

Thank you for this! Tremors is the word I was looking for to describe side effects of Sertraline to someone. I couldn't for the life of me find the right words to describe the side effect.

[sagesufferswell]

I have hEDS which can cause all these symptoms and more which is almost impossible to get diagnosed.

[Earthoceanfire]

This is Lyme disease in a nutshell. I have Lyme.

[lindasmith]

It is very important to thoroughly investigate the patient's symptoms before making the diagnosis and after that it is important to explain the mind/body connection. The symptoms are real and genuine caused by the mind and if well treated the patient can recover.

[Heidi-jrgy]

Sounds like a lot of my symptoms from Lyme disease 😐
