Hi,
I'm so sorry they told you you were faking!
Psychosomatic or functional conditions are surprisingly common. It means that your brain is creating the symptoms but it doesn't mean you're doing it consciously. One of the big difficulties with these conditions is that there are very few medical specialists who deal with them - people fall between the cracks of neurologists and psychiatrists (just had a lecture on this actually). If you can have some therapy it will probably help, not sure what else you can do I'm afraid. Maybe your GP will have some suggestions?

Always seem to get things just that little bit wrong.
