I've been looking into what is meant by conversion symptoms... They appear to be talking about conversion disorder... I've had slurred speech at times, dizziness and loss of balance, amnesia, and a lump in the throat.

  • Loss of balance
  • Difficulty swallowing or "a lump in the throat"
  • Seizures or convulsions
  • Episode of unresponsiveness
Signs and symptoms that affect the senses may include:
  • Numbness or loss of the touch sensation
  • Speech problems, such as inability to speak or slurred speech
  • Vision problems, such as double vision or blindness
  • Hearing problems or deafness
