[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two things can be true: your sister had unremitting mysterious pain AND your sister has dramatic / high maintenance tendencies.  Did you sister have these tendencies earlier/in other aspects of life or only with regard to this problem?

I agree with PP that you should [b]try to be supportive w/o feeding the drama[/b], starting with "I am so happy for you that you found an explanation. How can I help you get through the surgery?"

I agree with this.  Just because the pain is real doesn't mean that everything else stops for everyone else.  I say this as someone who lives in constant pain because of a car accident when I was a child.  I have no right to disrupt others' lives with my complaints just because I hurt.  Unfortunately it doesn't sound like OP's sister got that message.  I see both sides of this and I don't think that OP is out of line in her wanting the sister to get a better handle on her emotions and to reel back the drama.[/quote]

You don’t understand because people believed you since you had a car accident. [/quote]
