I remember it well. She took a backpack on that walk! That’s disgusted me
Being able to walk the mile so easily should disqualify her anyway, in my opinion. It’s not as if it leaves her so exhausted she can’t move for the rest of the day. They have another walk in the evening! Then the same again the next day
Exactly that was my point before. Like with some chronic illness you do get the odd good day. Sometimes on a good day you may totally over do it and forget to Pace yourself and get caught up in the fun of the moment and just push yourself because you want to be like everyone else. And that's fair enough. BUT if you do that then you'll spend the next few days hauled up in bed in agony not being able to do anything and just being absolutely exhausted and out of it. Not ONCE have I seen her not be able to take dogs out, drive the car, and all that
tit. She walks twice a day, drives all over the place and now she's recently taken up cleaning the whole house. I'm sorry but that's not adding up. You have a good day and you over do it you can't possibly do everything she does.
In MY opinion (not claiming she does or doesn't) I think there's an element of factitious disorder. Perhaps initially she took on the fibro role to get out of work early however since then she's come to like the attention having a chronic illness can sometimes bring. She has taken on the sick role and is trying to fit into the sick community / fibro community but she's just a big faker (in my opinion).. she just wants attention that she lacks from family and friends.
