Somatoform pain disorder

I am a 20 year old. I have been recently diagnosed with somatoform pain disorder. I am currently taking pharmacotherapy for it. My presenting symptoms were sharp neck and shoulder pain and back pain. My symptoms have reduced in intensity. But I have a fear that when I stop treatment,  the symptoms will return. My physician has told me that slowly symptoms will go away, but whenever I google about this disorder, it always says that it can't be cured, just managed. As a psychiatrist,  have you encountered patients with complete resolvement of symptoms?

Stress, sleeplessness

I am going through a tough time both in personal and professional life. I hardly get any sleep, always anxious and stressed. Actually I can't even remember a time when I had a proper sleep. From past couple of months I have noticed that I am forgetting small small things - names of people, movie name I have watched so many times, what I did on a particular day etc; I am not quite sure whom to consult. A psychiatrist or a psychologist? Sometimes I feel my head is about to explode and have a splitting head ache. Kindly advise, Thank you.

Anxiety due to covid news

My partner (23F) has been very anxious lately and it is affecting her health. She isn't able to sleep well at night. She says that she feels dizzy sometimes during the day as well. She is feeling weak. She is having a constant body temperature of 99°F. She doesn't even feel hungry, she has to force herself to eat. She is also having a bad stomach now, loose motions. Is this all happening because of anxiety? What can be done to make her feel better?
