Help me diagnose

Okay. Don’t be mad but have you or anyone else considered a conversion disorder? And I’m not talking about hypochondria or psychosomatic illness. A conversion disorder occurs when your brain malfunctions and sends the wrong signals to your body. When no one could diagnose my physical problems (also involving serious physical pain) I looked into it. As a matter of fact, I was hoping that it was a conversion disorder since half the battle of “curing “ it is knowing that you have it.
It can cause severe pain and even blindness and deafness. It’s no joke.
But it’s treatable. Read up on it. There’s a fancy new name for it now but if you search for it, there’s lots of information. Mayo even wrote about it.
What you experienced on that plane was traumatic, plain and simple. I’m sorry for your experience and your pain and I hope you find the answers that you’re looking for.

Wondering if this is like TMS? Sounds interesting, thank you.
