I've met too many people since I found myself in this position who haven't been as lucky with their doctors. :-/Avivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16411667763810131618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749687802138692392.post-40372084422651993322010-08-25T06:26:19.526-07:002010-08-25T06:26:19.526-07:00Mo- You're confusing malingering and hypochond...Mo- You're confusing malingering and hypochondria. Malingering is faking sick to avoid responsibilities. Hypochondria is truly believing you're sick when in fact, there is no discernible illness present.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564731989568599206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749687802138692392.post-5212224546022277032010-08-22T22:35:34.371-07:002010-08-22T22:35:34.371-07:00Oh Mo, I (heart) you!

I'm happy to get confirmation that is WAS an offensive thing to send to someone who has health problems even if the doctors don't know what's wrong with her.Avivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16411667763810131618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749687802138692392.post-36138401225560556212010-08-21T11:30:47.189-07:002010-08-21T11:30:47.189-07:00Sick Momma, Yes I am a hypochondriac also.

I really enjoy it when I get so nauseus that the room spins, and the countless painful hours in the bathroom is the best. Debilitating fatigue is my favorite because I can spend my day in bed watching TV!<br /><br />This woman is a jerk. I did not read her ridiculous ramblings.<br />Don't let people like this get to you. They always have their own agendas.<br /><br />xomoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749687802138692392.post-78270403353989167332010-08-20T16:53:58.661-07:002010-08-20T16:53:58.661-07:00Oh yes, my "hypochodria" went on for 16 ...Oh yes, my "hypochodria" went on for 16 years. never mind that I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, asthma, Grave's disease, diabetes type 2 along the way. I knew there was more. Then I was finally diagnosed in 2006 with Lupus and CVID, a rare primary immune deficiency. And more recently I was dxed with Addison's disease (adrenal insufficiency) which has been going on for at least 4 years. My doctor thinks there are more diagnoses to come. <br /><br />SharonSharonMVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02171770849362460222noreply@blogger.com
