Thank you for your support Dr Alice - from everyone.....

***************

The stories described are really pretty atrocious.

I personally think that that it would not help to get one ptotic eye open

Even if you lived with a psychiatrist and had sessions every other hour!

Nevertheless, if you leave the doctor´s office without a diagnosis, that is one thing.

But conversion disorder is a diagnosis,

So where are the specialists?


The last neuro I went to said that no, MG was progressive and remissions like mine did not exist.
So without being direct the insinuation was that CD would be the only alternative diagnosis
if I were to get weak again and not pass the Tensilon test. It was more like a threat than a plausible credible diagnosis.

It would have been nice to hear just one story from a patient with conversion disorder and muscle weakness
that has been diagnosed in a timely, efficient and respectful manner with a successful treatment program
managed by someone who actually knows what they are doing.
