[all my post said was letting you know that here ....in america...we dont call it dissociative motor disorder. ..here in america we call it conversion disorder and here in america it isnt listed as a dissociative disorder in the dsm.

may be so but that is the same response i always get on this site, never any help or suggestions or anything, just that it is not called that in america, well america is not the only place on this plannet, does it never occur to look at how long someone has been a member and think that they probably already know the obvious and also the person who asked the question may not have been from america in the first place so may actually have came from somewhere which does classify other specific dissociative disorders and may actually be interested nin knowing about those too!

my reason for posting that wasnt to cause you problems.

it probably wasn't, but it did, i have been fighting this for four years totally on my own because eventhough it is classified over here it is still not recognised so is not given the help it needs, so people with it are left seing and knowing the help they need but without the means of getting it as treatments here are dx specific and as it is such a rare condition which most doctors do not understand or even know about there is very little help/treatment available e.g dmd people benefit from the same therapies as those who had a stroke, but are not allowed in the stroke units, I can't stand let alone walk, my mate with arthritis can still walk a few steps, he got an electric wheelchair and his house adapted and paid for in three months from dx, i am 4 years from dx and still have not had my house adapted in fact i have to pay over 10K to get it done and 'don't fit the criteria' for an electric wheelchair so had to buy my own scooter or be housebound.
so you can see why i bit when once again someone stated the american way, i am just fed up hearing what you said about it because i get similar every day here where it is classified. it certainly is not a hyperchondria, it is a proper disorder and i just want people to see that.
