Hi y'all . I just got home from the hopital tonight. Found out what at this very moment I consider to be good news. That I really am just crazy. Got diagnosed finally after years of seizures and paralysis and memory and cognitive and functioning problems with conversion disorder. After 6 mos. of them telling me I was epileptic now it's conversion disorder. They all seem worried I'll flip that its all in my head and I just need to see a therapist and shrink. I'm just glad it's not parkinsons or ms like my grandmothers. I'm grateful. Maybe tomorrow I won't be . I don't understand it all. Not at alll. But I thank the Lord today anyway. I don't know what I'm in for and I'm not at all sure I want to know. Maybe someone knows and can fill me in and help me get real. Thanks.

Welcome, Grumpygramama. I do like your name. Sounds like me when the grandkids have been over too long.
Like Shelley, I don't know anything about conversion disorder. You'll have to educate us as you find out more about it yourself. I'm just glad for you that you are no longer in diagnosis limbo. That can be a cold and lonely place!
Hugs,
