[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 187296, member: 84"] Crazy you are far from heartless, my friend. I have a sis who also has chronic kidney disease and hypothyroidism. At one time this sis and I were as close as ducks and water. Only family member I could tolerate for long periods of time. Then she began attention seeking with her chonic kidney disease. At first we all fell for it. But as I have an even more severe form, and still don't wind up in hospital 1/4 the amt of times she does, we began to get suspicious. Which made us pay more attention to her behavior. Sis never follows docs orders on diet or medications. Actually diliberately does the opposite. She started doctor shopping. Her tolerance for pain went way down and pain medication usage went sky high........... Ok. It gets worse from there. But once she figured out my Mom would come running every time she was in hospital, the attention seeking behavior started, then spiraled out of control. Mom is only now getting it after long talks with me. Now due to the attention seeking behavior sis not only has the chronic illness, but a pain medication addiction as well. If I could call her docs and inform them I would. I know Mom has done it several times. Unfortunately, sis always finds another to buffalo. *sigh* Sis is now self-destructing. Mom is learning detachment. And we're both hoping the docs/hospitals get a major clue before she manages to kill herself. Oh, and me.........I'm sort of glad Mom never bothered to visit me the times I was admitted to hospital. :D (weird huh?) ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
