Faking Multiple Sclerosis For Social Security

Tweet

my mother in law is faking that she has m.s. for social security. i know, because i watched her play this off step by step. at first, she did not file for m.s. she file for a number of other problems and she got denied. some time after, she decided that back in the early 90's she was diagnosed with m.s., but forgot all about it because she was in denial. as time progressed she told me that she was going to start walking with a cane and that she noticed the different type of attention that you get when ppl think you are disabled. next, she started "falling out in the streets" (or so she says) no one ever sees her. she just kind of goes to the hospital and tell them that she fell out, but picked herself up and came to the emergency room. she keeps telling doctors that she has m.s. i know that she is just trying to get check. she has been trying to get a check since i have known her. she hates working and is very lazy and unmotivated. i see no signs of all this pain she has from walking. i do know what she is very overweight and doctors have told her that, only for her to get really mad at them and say that they don't know what they are doing. that's her problem, though. not, m.s. i wish she would stop faking that. that is really not a good thing for people who really do have to suffer from it. they want her to take test, but she won't. the test she did take all came up normal and keeps coming up normal. only thing is her weight (and she is in denial). she also says she has, "a little bit of chrones disease. one thing i know about the women in my husband's family is that they are hypochondriacs. they even admit this. his mom and sister both have habits of looking up things is medical books and deciding they have it just to get sympathy or favor. they have admitted this to me. so, how i am to believe that she really has m.s. i have done some research and m.s. is a hard thing to detect. i think so is chrones. they both have symptoms that can mask as that when it's something else. you watch. she is hooked up with the right people and she WILL get the ssi and the back pay. i know some people that really can't stand, or live without sickness, problems, or pain. she is playing? she can shop more hours than the stores are open. if you give her the money, she will forget her m.s. lol. i KNOW. i am with her almost all the time. now she is rocking a wheelchair that she got a charity to donate to her. she didn't even have to see a doctor for it. no doctor wrote her up for that. i know, she told me. anyone can get a wheelchair. this kind of stuff make it hard for me to respect her. does anyone know anything about m.s. how do you know if you have it? what kinds of test does one take to determine m.s? can you just tell a doctor you have m.s. and get a diagnosis based upon you word, or symptoms you have looked up? any info will be appericiated. thank you for reading this long post. just had to vent.
