My sister has been telling us for about 4 years that she has fibromyalgia. She does not work or go to school. She is 27 years old. She is on a variety of meds....from valium to methadone to paxil to regular tylenol/advil and others that I dont even know about.
We (as a family) have come to the conclusion that she is hiding something from us. She will not let anyone attend a doctors appointment with her, and makes up excuses as to why. I've offered her several options to help control her pain (massage, accupuncture, exercise etc...) and she flat out refuses it all claiming that it doesnt help, yet every page of research i've read says that it will.
We have feared in the past that she was on drugs and addicted to various ones, but nobody could ever really prove it. We are all in agreement that she is very much addicted to the methadone and we don't know how to help her. We are aware that fibromyalgia does exist, but we are unsure if this is really what she has, or if this is all just an act. (please note that it is in her history to make things up to be the focus of everyones attention).
Anyway, the final straw came about an hour ago when she called and asked if I could "offer up my husband" as she is incredibly lonely. Yes. She asked if I could send over my husband to pleasure her. What the heck?? I dont know if she was serious or just high!
Please. Can someone, anyone help me here? My sister is very important to me, but I just dont know how to help someone who does not want help. Are we all being a bad family in thinking this is all an act? Or are we actually being smart in thinking this? I have been in tears for the last hour because of her phonecall and I cant keep doing this. I just dont know what to do.
For anyone who thinks this post is a joke, please, I swear on my life that this is not a joke and I am honestly looking for some advice. I've made an appointment to see my doctor regarding this, but in the mean time...any thoughts would be appreciated.
thank you.
