Thank you so much for your response. My daughter just turned 17. She is already under the care of Dr Tefferi at Mayo but adding someone focused on conversion. Disorder may be the right next step.

@bhavit-the diagnosis of “conversion disorder”, is very common when a patient experienced something while under medical care. This is often times a way for the medical care team to not have to take responsibility for it. So be very careful to run w/ this diagnosis. The best thing you can do is make sure your daughter knows you believe her. Because at this point the care team she is/was under has removed any liability of an iatrogenic cause.
