  • Divorce her!
  • Please...if you ever figure it out let me know as I'm dealing with one myself!!! Good luck to you!!!
  • Are they actually sick? If so, that's not a hypochondriac, and depending on the type of lupus, for example, it could have a devastating impact on your life. Perhaps she's looking for comfort?
  • Have her diagnosed. The best way to deal with a hypochondriac is to take them to a doctor and have them examined for signs of their disease of choice. Chances are they'll find something that needs their attention - regular doctor visits and exams can save lives through early intervention - and if there's nothing wrong with her physically, they can refer her to specialists, perhaps even counselors who can help her deal with the emotional turmoil that may be causing her to seek out this kind of attention.
  • Ignore her. All she wants is attention. If she doesn't get the attention she craves, she'll shut up. seriously.
  • Well, if she was diagnosed with this as it appears according to your question that she has lupus, then she would be better off with you OUT of her life because you are just hurting her deeply with your lack of understanding! Either that or you should learn about it and become more understanding of her pain physically and emotionally. She is NOT a hypochondriac! I can tell you it took me ten years of doctor hopping and being extremely sick, having my family treat me like shit before disowning me, listening to how much I suffered from hypochondria and hysteria before having a heart attack at age 26 and getting diagnosed. STILL, NOT ONE APOLOGY! You can't see lupus and you can't see her pain. It is a horrible thing to live with! She is not trying to get attention, rather she is reminded daily of the horrible disease that inflicts pain in every aspect of her life. I wish I could give her a hug! If it isn't diagnosed yet, encourage her to not give up. People don't lie about things like this to get attention. The body talks to you and tells you when something is wrong. Her behavior is not normal and is caused by something going on! Encourage her to find another doctor if hers isn't listening. I saw 11 of them before one actually did the tests at the proper lab and diagnosed me. The messed up thing is, I was obsessed with studying diseases until I found out what it was and told them 6 years before getting diagnosed that it was lupus. They laughed at me! After getting diagnosed, my disease went into remission for two years before having another flare up. Stress had been reduced and I knew better how to handle it. Give her a break, by Gods will.
  • SHAME ON YOU! DO YOU THINK THEY WOULD MAKE THIS UP! I HAVE M,ANY FRIENDS WITH LUPUS AND MY MOTHER HAS IT. SHE IS VERY SICK AND DO YOU THINK SHE WOULD MAKE IT UP! THIS IS A VERY OFFENSIVE QUESTION! LEAVE HER LIFE IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND LEAVE LEAVE LEAVE GET AWAY, WITH LUPUS YOU ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH. SO SYATY UNDERSTANDING AND CARING OR LEAVE IMMEDIETLY!

  • Well you sure are not her friend at all ... you are sicking and childish .... Hyprochondriac is one thing , but you knowing she has lupus and other illnesses , you are a sad excuse for a human being ... she needs to kick you to the curb and quick
