The diagnoses I have got is; Conversion disorder or functional neurological movement disorder. Or -We don't know-

But the strange thing is that Parkinson medication (dopamine), helps a great deal for me. I'm a riddle for the medical world, because all my symtoms don't add up and the medication isn't suppose to work.

The last neurologist advised to Botox injections in my backmuscles. I didn't got much information about it. In the Netherlands it's only used on this scale in a medical trial. So i'm curius to read more here.

But for now I first want to see how far I can get with the Parkinson medication.

Keep posting!
