Not with me, but a friend of mine:She, at least to the naked eye, is faking illnesses. She buys like mugfull of meds, but then doesn't use them and throws them away after the expiry date. After being rejected to be admitted into a hospital after a lot of tests, she tried a different hospital hoping to get admitted. She has been known to complain about an allergy to the fur of dogs, cats and detergents, and that she feels the need to vomit. asking if this is a mental health problem, or real.
