Hopefully some researcher out there will look into this more, because it may be a key to some knowledge that is needed.Don Shetterly - Relaxing Piano Musichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10127640545301835657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567475060382733569.post-60066881024047049012013-04-12T09:54:06.532-04:002013-04-12T09:54:06.532-04:00I was diagnosed with conversion, probable somatiza...I was diagnosed with conversion, probable somatization disorder only to be told that it truly was MS as the MRIs confirmed it. The doctors kept refusing to either run the MRIs for MS and then would not acknowledge the spots "artifacts" that kept reappearing. Bad disease.

If it wouldn't have been for her, I'm not sure where I would be. I couldn't begin to take care of myself and yet, they would send me home every time.<br /><br />In 1991, I didn't have the internet to really search so I had to struggle on my own to recover. The doctors really didn't know what to do and so somewhere deep inside of me, I found the strength to fight my way back into life. <br /><br />Now I've learned some intense healing bodywork that has greatly helped me release stuff and come back into my body. It is interesting though that if I'm on the table in one of these sessions, the person doing this work can take me right back to feeling paralyzed but then it dissipates. <br /><br />The more you can go in and sense/connect and feel your body - the more you'll find your way through it. It isn't easy to do that. Just keep searching for things that work and don't be afraid to try things the doctors don't suggest.<br /><br />Most people today would never be able to tell I was once paralyzed. It was a big wake up call in life for me. There is hope to recover and it isn't always easy, but there is hope.Don Shetterly - Relaxing Piano Musichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10127640545301835657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567475060382733569.post-90139620906387866702011-12-02T22:27:02.560-05:002011-12-02T22:27:02.560-05:00I just came home from getting my eeg results, afte...I just came home from getting my eeg results, after being hospitalized for 5 days with what doctors thought were some kind of seizures. Then I had to wait two weeks for the eeg and two weeks for the result to be told that the results were perfectly normal and that my diagnosis is 'probably' conversion disorder. I'm to have an MRI, followed with a visit to a neurologist and also go see a pyschiatrist to get further medications. I have many similar symptoms to what you posted on your blog, and have not been able to drive since Oct. 30th. I live in the country, which is very inconvenient. I'm a little relieved though to know that there are other people out there with these similar symptoms, or past symptoms and want to learn more about it. Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
