I have diagnosed a few family members with this disorder.
MED- Medical Exaggeration Disorder
Causes: Unknown, possible link to hypochondria
Indications: When someone tells you a minor illness or symptom you immediately assume the worst.
Symptoms: Hearing problems. Examples- hearing headache, thinking brain tumor; hearing cramps, thinking ovarian cancer; hearing stomach ache, thinking gall stones; hearing heartburn, thinking heart attack; hearing charlie horse, thinking blood clot; etc...
Remedy- only known remedy is to avoid prayer requests during church
Do you have it? My Momma does.
