I've experienced this. I lost my mom to cancer in 2011. She was only 54 and we were very close. I remember that I just kept powering through. When she was in hospice, I wanted to spend as much time as I possibly could with her and have those last memories. I powered forward through her visitation and funeral, and I had appeared to be holding up remarkably well given the circumstances. Two weeks after her funeral, I laid down on my couch for a nap and I woke up completely paralyzed from the waist down. I ended up having to call paramedics, and was rushed to the hospital where they ran every test and scan on me that they could think of. Everything always came back negative though, and I was eventually diagnosed with conversion disorder. It was a very humbling experience to go from having a fully functioning body to having to have somebody help me go to the bathroom within a matter of hours. I remember not being upset or overly concerned that I had lost the ability to walk or use my legs a lot like the patient in this video. In my mind though my thought process was that I had just watched my mom pass away from multiple myeloma, and the amount of pain that she went through was inhumane. I was not suffering or in pain. I felt like I didn't even have a right to complain because what I was experiencing was nowhere even close to what I had just watched my mom go through. I saw it as an inconvenience, but not a tragedy - whatever the outcome I would learn to adapt. I am grateful for the amazing team of physio and occupational therapists at the hospital who worked with me twice a day, every day to help me regain my abilities and learn to walk again. Looking back, I can see that my body was literally refusing to let me move forward at that time. It needed me to stop and process the trauma that I had just experienced. I'm happy to say that I did fully recover, and 6 months later I even became pregnant with my own daughter ❤

One thing I can appreciate is that this show didn't seem to have the 'artificial drama' that others seem to. The parents were reasonable when the doctors told them what was going on, rather than denying everything and being combative. If the patient's condition is such that they would be combative, they reflect that too. It's a welcome change from 'Oh no...not MY child!'

I’ve had two seizure-like episodes from stress that only happened after anesthesia because anesthesia lowers the threshold for such a thing to happen. It was scary and horrifying to experience.

[@MadnessBomber]

That makes sense actually. Stress usually means you're more wound up and rigid, always more and more tense the more stress you have. Your body keeps getting more and more stressed out, but you unconsciously keep it down from that tensing. Suddenly you lose all that tension, and every bit of that stress you were feeling rides up like a wave, and crashes down on you full force. Could lead to vomitting and fainting or worse.

As someone with conversion disorder it's very wild, but when you're raised in a household that your told "nothing ever leaves this house" you learn to push those feelings/emotions down.

[@houseofadhdandhyperfixatio9432]

I was medically discharged from the Canadian armed forces a few years ago because I started having seizures everyday from stress. 6 years later I’m still having seizures and have been diagnosed with non epileptic seizure disorder because i was not treated correctly. Once your issues become chronic it becomes incredibly difficult to treat and there’s no medication for somatic symptoms. The treatment plan works most of the time if it’s caught and diagnosed properly. I miss my uniform ugh. Conversion disorders are very difficult to treat due to a big percentage of doctors believing you are doing it on purpose. It’s a lot more complicated than what Dr.Charles is making it seem and it’s often thrown as a diagnosis because they have no idea what’s wrong with you.

[@michelleamaris9591]

I've had a TBI in 2008, my. body would randomly shut down. I looked like I was having a seizure, but fully awake. Dr after Dr (including the ER) just kept saying it was anxiety. They didnt believe me that something was wrong. Valium helped immensely, but it wasn't until I experienced my most severe one that I received this diagnosis. On 6/1/2022, 14 YEARS after my injury, I finally received a correct diagnosis. Yes, I did have anxiety, but besides the bandaid of meds, nobody looked deeper. Heck it took them over 3 years for them to let me see a Neurologist who gave me the TBI/PTSD diagnosis.

It’s now called Functional Neurological Disorder. I was diagnosed with it last year. The brain and the body mix signals up. I had 3 mini strokes in the last 2 years, all caused by high stress. The first 2, they saw the clot. The last one, they didn’t and diagnosed me with FND. I’ve had two more reactions since the diagnosis where my brain mistook excitement for fight or flight. The left side of my face spasmed for 5 hours at a concert. The second time it happened, I felt my blood pressure shoot up. Did some breathing exercises and it stopped after about 10-15 minutes. That time, I was at work and there was a child screaming. Parents let the kid keep going, completely ignoring the kid and the screaming and crying got louder. My boss saw the beginning of the spasms and told me to go into the back and take a breather. It was near the end of my shift anyway. Very understanding man.

[@chitchatnouk8322]

Something like this is currently what’s happening with me; for now, it’s considered more Functional Neurological Disorder than conversion disorder since it’s unclear how much of the symptoms was caused by stress, though there were many possible stressors shortly before. I’ve had my symptoms for about 2 and a half years by now, unable to live independently as a result, thanks to episodes of grand-mal-esque seizures combined with locked-in syndrome (sometimes including being unable to breathe). I have yet to experience paralysis, though my body sometimes just . . . refuses to work lol, but I can still feel it. It’s as if the body itself is dissociating. I think I’ve had a brush with blindness, where my peripheral vision seemed to have suddenly shrink, though it hasn’t happened once. It’s frustrating, to have an invisible disability that’s so unique and rare and with a variety of possible symptoms. What’s worse is the feeling that I’m not trying hard enough to get out of it, being told how I need to get a stronger mind and put more effort in and “actually” try my best. I don’t have control, and I really wish I did. Please believe me in that. Not sure how to end this comment, but yeah.

I never connected the two until my mom asked me how the relationship was going. The fact he didn't care enough to make sure I was alright should have clued me in to stress related.

He can’t move, but he still got that cell phone. He’s paralyzed but there was too much movement in the MRI to read it? He doesn’t want to move and leave his friends

I did not see that boyfriend thing coming. Oh well, such is life.

I don’t get paralysed but I get seizures. It’s a mess when you don’t speak or are unable to express your feelings. They start coming all out unstoppable in physical symptoms and then that can cause harm into you.
