Have Conversion Disorder. Tremor In Hands, Painful Arms, Shoulder Tense. Help

I was was told that I had conversion disorder when all of a sudden on day here at home was watching TV and my hands started to tremor and then my arms, it was very painful, we call 911 and the EMS staff had never seen anything like it. It was very strong and I had no control at all. Since this was my first one by the time we got to the hospital they had stopped as quickly as they started. I have had them now maybe twice a month or more. I can tell when I am going to have one as in my left on top of my shoulder it starts to tense up. There is nothing I can do but try to do some movement as making circles with my arms as the issue continues. It will finally stop and it leaves me exhausted.

This could be Epilepsy and you will need to have EEG done, there you need to see a Neurologist. Moreover you need Brain CT or MRI.
