My sister is still young, but she is heading that way too with her addiction too painkillers and all sorts of medication.
This doesn't sound like hypocondria, this sounds like pilladdiction. Get her a psyciatrist. She needs it. Btw, this wasn't the model, right? I see it as pretty difficult to aim at a modelcareer and addicting pills at the same time...
If this sound harsh, that's the way it is. Sorry about her though <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />. Having an addicting relative must be hard.
