- Mystery Illness?
News10NBC learned from Sunday’s meeting that a boy and another girl were pulled out of LeRoy High School last week from exhibiting similar symptoms to the ones that these other teens have been experiencing.
But, at this point we don’t know if they are facing the same diagnoses. We also learned is there could be up to 16 students who are now affected.
Parent Beth Miller told us, “I don’t want to look back 10 years from now and wish I had done something different for my child as well as the other girls.”
Which is exactly why Beth Miller and James Dupont, another parent, say they are doing whatever it takes to find out what is wrong with their teenage daughters. They also seek ways to fix it.
For the first time since this all began back in September, parents of seven of the affected girls sat face to face to talk.

Oh to be a fly on the wall at that meeting…
just looking for help! My little sister (15 years old) has been diagnosed with conversion disorder. She’s the only one so far in her school. It’s affected her arms she shakes and has tourette like symptoms all day. It’s lasted for about 2 months now. It’s extremely debilitating she can’t even write or go to school. We’ve had a bunch of tests done but doctors are pretty convinced it’s conversion disorder. Having gone through it yourself do you have any advice? Are you totally fine now? What type of treatment has helped? Do you know anyone we can reach out to just even for her to talk to and not feel so alone in this? It’s starting to really depress her and has taken a major toll on our family. Help!
I would like to reach out to either Beth Miller or Jim Dupont and ask about where and when this support group is. Can you help me get their contact info? Or when/where this is?
thanks – md
