I struggle with a disorder known as conversion disorder

I had seizures from 6-12 they stopped. Three years later I got what is called a conversion disorder. My EEGS are clean and I see a therapist, psychiatrist, and have a emotional support dog because this disoder causes paralysis, contortion of my left side mostly my hand, tremors, high heart rate but feeling calm when it's high, fatigue, walking problems, feeling faint, and anxiety which doesn't help it.

Get tested for Lyme Disease and Coinfections by a medical doctor called an LLMD (Lyme Literate Medical Doctor). Most people do not recall a tick bite. Also watch the documentary Under Our Skin on Netflix, which is about patients with Lyme Disease suffering from identical symptoms as those you describe. It's not uncommon for those with the illness to be labeled with psychiatric issues because physicians don't recognize the symptoms of the disease in it's entirety.
