I Have Had Three Episodes Of Involuntary Movement Of The

I have had three episodes of involuntary movement of the leg, resulting in long recovery periods. Doctors at first diagnosed these as TIAs. Now I am being told I have conversion/ dissociative disorder causing the muscles to contort and torque. A partial seizure, lasting a few seconds, accompanied the past two hospitalizations. I stayed overnight every time. All tests are clear: MRIs, Cat Scans, blood tests, EEG. The symptoms and ensuing deep fatigue take months to recover from. They have occurred in April, September, and January, each following periods of extended familial stress. (Also, I wondered about genetics. I grew up Mennonite, and know there is some connection to Dystonia/ or Parkinson's perhaps. I am 76 years of age.
