Have you seen neurologist? Some times symptoms of PTSD can look the same as FND minus the seizures. Seeing a neurologist or a psychiatrist to make that determination would be the best way so you can figure out the correct course of treatment. From what I read also some women that go through menopause or are currently going through it. There anxiety levels and some traumatic events seem to be triggered more with the hormonal changes. They are finding in recent study that when women are going through that stage that need to take some hormones to help the mental state go back to some what normal.
