My sibling's medical vey

[Anonymous]

My sibling has always had 'issues' due to some mental health (depression, bipolar, a ton of other things she claims to have) And a long list of other medical problems she 'has' (shes known for stretching the truth a bit...)

She knowingly doctor shops and talks about it. She is on at least 20 medications - 5 being depression meds. Has had almost all of her 'unneeded' body parts removed (gallbladder, tonsils etc) and is currently trying to get her spleen and appendix taken out (no issues with either - just wants them out). It has come up recently that I could have a medical issue that is hereditary. I have told out mother and my sibling - no other family members as this could change my life darasticallu and I don't want to stess anyone out yet. I will not have another appointment to do more tests and confirm what is going on in my body until next month.

Immediately upon hearing this she scheduled a full test of herself that would show if she has it and has begun treating herself as if she is already afflicted.

Obviously I see she jumps the gun and enjoys being 'ill' my question to you is: how do I Handle her in these circumstances and am I right to be annoyed?

Agreed. You can't fix crazy.

She craves attention. Don't give it to her.

And I hope you do not come down with that genetic thing!

You know she's crazy an thrives on being "sick" I would keep further updates on your medical condition private unless you want to deal with her one upping you, i can imagine hearing a lot of "I'm far sicker than you, this condition is taking over my body, I'm going to die first"
