Q: Conversion Disorder Or More?

I have the typical sysmptoms of a conversion disorder short of a few a things. My tremors occur while I sleep. My tremors will start when I am alone. I have severe and chronic back pain both while having tremors and while not. My mental health is good but concentration is severely deminished. Randomness of symptoms do not follow any know stressing event nor follow the idea of plea for sympathy in public.

Only medical exam done was an mri which revealed hypersensivity in the right frontal horn of the brain. Diagnosis was made by a neurologiost after a 45 second examination. I have tried to get x-rays and examinations done but my doctor says there is no need because it is a conversion disorder. The mri was done to rule out ms although I am not sure it did so as the testing was done without the presence of symptoms.

Is this a conversion disorder and all in my head or could this be something more that my doctor isn't willing or isn't educated enough to diagnose because lack of education or my lack of ability to pay and her having to accept medicare for my treatment.
