Hi Kathy ~ Jeepers, you've been thru alot!

This has been going on alot longer than for "normal" conversion reaction disorder patients. Usually after hospitalization, they're better within 2 weeks! Some have it reappear in a year or so, but not all.

The usual "cause" of this disorder is stress. Seems like more people would have it, in this crazy world. Everyone *I* know is stressed to the max!!

The preferred treatment is physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and psychological therapy for depression, which of course everyone would have when dealing with this disorder!!! Especially you, since you've had it so long! Good grief, I'd surely be depressed! (well, I've been treated for depression for more than 40 years! LOL)

So -- I hope this helps a little. It seems like they're not doing any of this, so far. I hope they start! I wish you the very best, my friend. PLEASE keep me posted, will you? I REALLY do care!!! Let me know, ok? Hugs, Lee
