Sorry you're going through this.

Something rings with me. When I was a kid I was always "sick." Phantom pain. Stomach pain. Headaches. Overall feeling "sick." Went to the ER and hospitals like you say. To the doctor, nothing wrong. Had an MRI. But, I did feel the pains, and I did feel sick. Now I have psychosomatism as a Dx, but back then I was the manipulative "faker."

But, I think something was going on with me. Something else. I can't explain what it was and I wish I understood it. All of that went away. Now, I don't complain unless I really need to because people accused me so much of faking and not being sick when I felt sick. Now I don't ask for help. I'm guessing, her sicknesses have something to do with her mental health, but it's not fake. It's something else.

I'll keep you in my thoughts.
