Beth,
PTSD symptoms can deminish in intensity and may even go into remission(so to speak) but the likelihood that it will go away completely are remotely slim.
The thing with this disorder, is that it is triggered by stress(the intensity differs from person to person) and all it takes is another traumatically stressful situation to exacerbate its intensity.
Are you seeing a therapist and/or on medication?

Hello Beth,
It sounds like you are speaking of psychogenic nonepileptic seizures, which are primarily caused by stressful psychological experiences or emotional traumatic ones. It is your body's way of indicating excessive stress.
If depression and anxiety are factors, medication may be the way to go.
You ask me, the worker should have been fired; sexual harassment is nothing to play with, not to mention it was one of the causes for your increased symptoms.
Was the patient reprimanded?
