[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get it OP.  This is the chicken and the egg:  your sister has had a legitimate, albeit undiagnosed, health problem AND she also has engaged in prolonged complaining and attention-seeking behaviors.  Which came first?  Did the medical problem exacerbate the behavior or did the behavior mask the problem?  It is hard to know.

I also have a lack of patience for people who are always complaining so my response would have been like  yours.  I would have stopped listening and then, after this discovery, would be feeling badly.  I think you need to validate with her that she NOW, FINALLY she has a real reason for her health problems and that it is actionable, how wonderful that is for her and how grateful you both are that she continued to push and press the medical establishment to figure out what was wrong.  Support her as she proceeds because it sounds like she will need some surgery and/or other treatments.

Good luck![/quote]
Well you and the OP deserve one another. [/quote]
