Somataform disorder?

Thanks,

In my personal opinion -- don't buy into this nonsense. It just means that not only are the medical doctors confused, but the psychologists are confused as well.

Or you might be labeled with a conversion disorder or as a hypochondriac or even with pseudoseizures.

Especially if psycotropic meds make you worse and you have not yet found a physical cause for your symptoms.

Or another favorite is anxiety/depression.

Balancing amino acids is a big part of balancing brain chemistry with tickborne diseases, but in my opinion nutritional supplementation and herbs work much better than psychotropic meds and are much less likely to cause side effects.

Hubby had 3 psych admits early in his illness so we have way to much personal experience dealing with this stuff.

 Somataform disorder?   it is a psychological disorder characterized by physical symptoms that mimic disease or injury for which there is no identifiable cause. 

Don't let this screw with your head or Dan's head.... I question this BS DAILY!!!!  There's this tiny little part of me that says "what if it is all in your head?"..... "  I was told this over and over again for 13 months until I tested positive for LD.  Now, when I excercise for 10 minutes and then can't get out of bed for 2 weeks, I know my body is sick.  Simple disease, made crazier by the day.  Hope this helps!
