[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My[b] much younger sister [/b]has had a host of health problems that have led to many ER visits, doctor appointments, and tests that never amount to anything. She gets migraines, complains of constant neck plan, numbness in her arms, and poor circulation. She’s extremely dramatic so over the years I stopped paying much attention to the “I’m at the ER” and “this is what major medical problems I may have now” texts and phone calls. I’ve talked to her about her need to overreact to everything and how not everything is an emergency. Well she has started having some facial paralysis and a neurologist ordered and MRI of her neck/spine and apparently she has a syrinx in her spinal cord that has caused significant damage and will be meeting with a neurosurgeon to discuss surgical options. Apparently all of her symptoms are from this syrinx in her spinal cord. I feel awful that I lectured her so much, and dismissed so many of her concerns. I am really concerned about her but at the same time I know she’s going to turn this into an attention grab. How can I let her know I am worried about he without feeding into her attention seeking behavior. [/quote]

OP clearly regrets the baby coming into her life and taking her parents "attention"

How old are you??[/quote]
