I know people that have everything or at least say they do.
One guy we had at work I would tell him in the morning he looked sick and it wouldn't be 2 hours he would take off from work sick.
I know good and well he had Munchausen syndrome.
The quagmire of illnesses and allergies he could come up with was astounding.
Let me see if I can remember all of them.
Carpal tunnel syndrome.
Bad back.
Allergies of all kinds.
Tennis elbow.
Scared of heights.
Sunlight.
Bread.
Spastic colon.
OCD and what ever other condition on the news.
Constant fever and colds.
The list could go on for ever.
The guy was in his twenties and the perfect weight for his size.
Always had an appointment with a doctor.
If someone had it he got it.
If it was on the news he had it or was going to get it soon.
There wasn't one thing wrong with him but he had a desk full of pills.
He had a little girl and I asked him if he thought it was right he pass on his genes.
Cruel yes.
He was the most sickly non sick person I have ever met in my life.
Every time he would come up with something his wife would just roll her eyes.
One time they pulled him out of the office to help me and I found him shivering in the middle of a flat roof, I had to talk him off of it.
But yet I still considered him and his wife friends.
