Hey all,
I'm a little late in posting, and a little unsure of posting at all. I'm not a doctor, and my sister has never been diagnosed with well, anything, so I'm not even sure that whatever she's doing is related to this disorder.
My sister, in the last five years, seems to have been getting really sick with various illnesses. It started off with little things. Getting medical attention for Migraines, pain throughout her body, bone aches. Then it progressed. Endometriosis (forgive my spelling), which oddly, occurred right around the same time my cousin was diagnosed. Scoliosis, which my mom has had since she was 15--which could be possible because it's hereditary. My mom of course was very sympathetic, because she knows that it feels. Naturally, my sister receives a lot of attention from her whenever her back, or neck hurts. The red flag came to me about two months ago. My sister told my family she was shaving her head to support her friend who came down with Cancer. A friend she hasn't talked to, and we haven't seen for years. Apparently, they were pretty tight again. Facebook photos of my sister with a shaved head started popping up, with vague captions such as "Cancer sucks!" and the like. I got phone call from my cousin. My sister had told her that she had Cancer. I told my mom about it (who by the way, assumes that I just hate my sister, and pine for the joy of getting her in trouble--I'm 24, not 12, but that doesn't seem to faze my ever endearing mother). My mom confronted my sister about it. My sister demanded to know who told my mom, and made vague threats about how people just need to mind their own business. I get on facebook this morning, and see posts from my sister begging people to go to the doctor's with her for the intense pain she's feeling coming from her jaw or ear or something (she's a little hard to follow). "First thing when bub wakes up! Hospital to make them figure out what this thing is. Wont even let me sleep bc if I lay my head slightly to the left BLAM worst pain...never felt such constant pain" ---actual quote. Little why later, she tells someone that it looks like a "boney tumor".
I don't know. Maybe I need to grow up and I AM looking to get my sister in trouble, like my mother says. It's just sets something off in me. A part of me wants to confront her, a part of me says that I could be way wrong, and maybe she is sick. I guess what I'm asking through this incredibly long post (sorry!) is if her behavior is normal (she's 22 years old) .
