If you have been diagnosed with this I suggest you seek a second opinion.
Unfortunately there is a long and shameful history of certain doctors ignoring the physical aspects of me/cfs and trying to class it as psychosomatic or a conversion disorder.
Multiple sclerosis used to have the same problem and was seen as "hysterical paralysis".
Seconded, I was given this as a explanation and its turned out I had long covid.
Ugh, sorry that happened to you!
