Re: conversion hysteria/somatization disorder

[Guest guest]

Hi Sue

my dx is POTS. I was never told anything like that (my regular doc is a gem...he

has ALWAYS taken my symptoms seriously & done everything he knows to help).

What are conversion hysteria or somatization disorder? I will research on web

but could you clarify?

I'm wondering if that isn't what that deficient neuro thought & told my doc when

I saw him...he talked to me for a couple of minutes & decided 'it was stress

related' (that's what my doc would admit to me) & didn't even bother to give me

a neuro exam!!! I'm waiting for his written report to see what it says.

Would appreciate any info.
