Mofongo and BV
Mofongo,
I am sure that you are trying to be helpful by suggesting somatoform disorders and by posting a link to conversion as well, but every case is different. Anyone can self-diagnose mental disorders ... in fact, many people could say they have them all just because they show symptoms for some. I'd hate for BV to surf the web and read the diagnosis or DSM-IV for certain disorders when she isn't in the mental health field. Doing so can really mess with a person's psyche.
BV,
please consider getting new psychiatrists to work with. I don't know your entire situation, but it can take a long time to find a drug (or combination of drugs) that end up working for people. What you are going through is not normal and any doctor that shrugs their shoulders and attributes it to anxiety obviously isn't qualified to be working with you and your case. Not all therapists specialize in all disorders across the board. Some won't be willing to admit that, though they should refer you to someone that is more qualified. I feel horribly for you and what you are going through, and I truly hope you can find the help you need to get this under control.
