Disease-Chasing or Real Deal?

Steptalkers, please send me (and us) your prayers, good vibes, light and love.

SD17 Powersulk is currently waiting in ER for a Dr to check her out for "heart palpitations".

A little background (reminder), Toxic Troll BM is a total disease-chaser and managed to fake a head injury where she was paid to sit home for a few years, then rewarded a settlement of 21k. Shes got all kinds of diagnoses and what-not. Allergies, migrains, depression, anxiety, a heart murmer, the list is lengthy.

Sd24 Feral Forger, ever the momma copycat let make it bigger and cooler, ALSO has been to ER for mulitple different things. When I first met husband, he had to go wait in ER while FF was examined for pain in the abdomen, which turned out to be gas bubbles, who has subsequently been to ER several times for things like anxiety and sprained thumb, and that one time she took someones pain meds and they got her nauseous and she threw up.

Powersulk doesnt generally do these things, but she is very protected and really doesnt do much, plus shes obese. Who knows whats going on, but I am sorry this is happening.

Oh, and to top it off, on the way there I guess that one of Toxic Trolls tires blew out at the hospital, so now husband is running around looking for a tire to install, and freaking out because of course he is worried about his kid, and yet he doubts that its really going to be anything except a huge expense.

Ill keep you posted. By the time most of you see this it will be tomorrow and Ill know more. Hopefully.

I feel strangley calm and unaffected. Which is maybe good news because previously I would have been freaking out. Maybe my disengagement went too far...

As the SM of a drama queen who also has legitimate health issues, I know how you feel.  Tell yourself the best thing you can do for everyone is to stay calm and somewhat detached, not to be cruel, but so you can process the medical information without all the emotion.  Hoping for the best possible outcome.

I agree.. my YSD also had a few high attention medical issues that were "nothing".. like the heart problem that turned out to be growing pains.. the manufactured foot defect requiring a walking boot.. etc.. all encouraged by BM and by the way she would hoover up attention.  but.. when my SD actually DID have a medical issue.. seizure disorder.. and now that she is an adult.. who pays her own medical bills.. she is a lot more careful when she uses up her medical money.. lol.

hope it's nothing.. but heart palpitations.. likely is just anxiety.. that would be the most likely outcome here I'm guessing.

He always claims it's because he is afraid TT will take him back to court. SD is months away from aging out..

Clove... I would NOT be surprised if these antics helping TT continue after PScps turns 18. "It's about the kids."

This would be a hill to die on for me.

Also... he probably likes being wanted/needed.

I hate it when these exes act like they have no one else to help them and these dude come running like a white knight for their ex bae. Like call triple A or roadside and Google "how do I fix my own dang tires?"
 

Anyways hope y'all are okay. 
 

If it were me I'd probably detach in "emergencies" too because sometimes people make things out to be more than what they really are and you don't really know what real from what is being embellished until there is a doctor diagnosis.

Detaching in an emergency allows you to keep a cool head and do what's necessary. It's a talent not a flaw.

I'm one who detaches. Emotional Aniki is mentally encased in a block of ice while I function out of necessity.

Hopefully, it's a panic attack. Stress can manifest as a variety of health issues.

Any update? 

I wonder if it was a panic attack or just simple over exertion?

My vote is a panic attack.

DH recently had upper-left chest pain recently and has had all the tests imaginable, all of which came back negative. He is an athlete who runs the local mountain bike teen section. My guess was a panic attack because he has no idea how to relax nor how to delegate.

I'm wondering if her out of control weight is affecting her health. 

And, like others, I'm curious as to why your husband is tire shopping/repairing for his ex wife.

This is the result of a crazy BM.  She makes her family just as crazy as she is.   In my day there was no such thing as panic attacks. Just in the movies. Every food allergies in the world. In 

 the 1960's. People survive life with out being consumed with food Allergies.  Maybe nuts.  Parents brought food into there kids classroom for birthdays.  Thanksgiving parts. Ect.  Somehow we all survive that experience.  To day there so many notes on a menu it now takes a page by itself.

First, I hope this is just the usual hypochondria and nothing serious.

Now, WTF is DH doing addressing TT's tire problem. Not his car, not his problem. He should walk into the hospital and tell TT to get off of her fat entitlement whore ass and get the tire taken care of while DH is at PS's side.  If she doesn't, DH should take PS to TT's once this likely flare up of hypochondria is resolved and TT can hike her happy ass home.

I would not piss on TT if she was on fire if I was DH. 

That said, My guess is that PS OD'd on caffeine, didn't get enough sleep, or is stressing/experiencing anxiety over her rapidly approaching age of majority and having to figure her shit out for herself. There are any number of  fairly innocuous things that can cause heart palpitations.  Based on the TT, FF, PS past history, this is far more likely than not... absolutely nothing.  My bet is that PS is ramping up to the a waste of skin like her elder bio-maternal relatives.

200-ish days then ... no longer your problem. Or DH's.  What is thee lan to not pay for the hypochondriac medical bills for PS once she ages out from under the CO. Will DH still provide medical insurance and fork over money for fake conditions?

I live in LV and would bet a pile of cash that this is nothing more than the usual TT/FF/PS health fake-itis.

I know what its NOT.

Shes a very social creature, so shes got her social circle there. So its NOT social anxiety.

Shes got mostly art and music for coursework (I peeked) and shes on track for graduation pretty well, so its NOT the school work load.

She lives close to school so its NOT driving pressure.

She has no job so its NOT work-related.

Maybe her sister Feral Forger is messing with her?

No doubt living with the regular examples from TT and FF has to be anxiety/stress inducing.  I feel for the kid. However, her behaviors are her choice, including her choice to maximize the time she is with TT and FF.

At some point young adults have to be left to their own devises to finish maturing and growing up on their own time and their own dime.  SDPS is at that point.  As painful as that may be fore her, for you, and for DH.

Take care of you CLove.

You know, my daughter got a tire blowout the other day. I showed her how to contact roadside assistance (adding it to your car insurance costs next to nothing), go to the tire shop, and order a new tire. The whole process took about 2 hours. The blowout was on a dangerous bridge, so i wouldn't have wanted her changing it herself, but women can absolutely put a spare on also. Toxic Troll is a big girl. No reason for your husband to involve himself. That would have pissed me off most of all. He's like a half-ass husband/father/ex, tossing everyone a few crumbs now and then, but not good at any of it.

Is all about their co dependency. Its been 8 plus years of this thing, so because he brought the "my child needs to ride in a safe car" thing in, I just will bide my time, and when he complains about helping her (even if charging for it), then I will bring it up.

This just goes father to show the drama play that happens. Skid gets hurt, needs dr attention, goes to ER or whatever, and Toxic Troll contacts husband because she is again relevant in his life.

She enjoys the attention. Shes probably bragging to her "friends" that her ex and her have such a mature cool relationship that he would help her, etc...and shes such a concerned mother she would move heaven and earth to take care of kiddos heart palpatations.

Most likely a panic attack.  I started getting them when I was a little younger than PowerSulk.  The heart palpitations can be quite scary.  

I'm like everyone else on the tire deal.  Is Toxic Troll incapable of calling roadside assistance? I pay like $2 every six months for it.  Good grief...
