I heard that it is also known as the sick bulding syndrome.

What Is Geopathic Stress?\n\nGeopathic Stress is natural radiation that rises up through the earth and is distorted by weak electro-magnetic fields created by subterranean running water, certain mineral concentrations, fault lines and underground cavities. The wavelengths of the natural radiation disturbed in this way become harmful to living organisms.\n\nElectropathological energy created by modern technology can also contribute to geopathic stress in the form of high and low frequency energy from telecommunication towers, electricity pylons, transformers, radar and radio towers.

I don't think there's a single word for it, because there are any number of reasons why the person could want that, and what it's called depends on that reason.  A few possibilities...\n\nFaking sick or hoping to be sick to get out of doing something (like going to school or work) is called malingering.\n\nThere's a mental illness called Munchausen's syndrome, in which the patient will make herself sick or injured to get attention from doctors.  A person with Munchausen's may also hope that they really will get seriously sick or injured as that would get them the attention they want.  Even if they don't make themselves sick on purpose but hope they'll get sick so they get attention, that could also be considered a symptom of Munchausen's.\n\nIf they're hoping to be sick/injured because they actually enjoy physical pain, that's masochism.\n\nIf they want it to be serious because they want to die, that would be suicidal behavior.  Even if they don't want to die, but just want to kind of self destruct or implode, that could be a sign of depression.\n\nI can't think of any more reasons of the top of my head, but if you can think of any more I could probably come up with diagnoses to go with them :)

Sounds like he could have a hidden bacterial infection which could be treated with anti-biotics. This is a recent discovery over the past decades.

It definitely sounds neurological. Bells Palsy is a possibility like someone else mentioned but there are other neurological conditions( like MS ) that could cause this. Chances are it will go away on its own but it would be nice to know in case it is a recurring condition. I would ask your doctor if you should be worried and also make notes on any other symptoms( even mild ones) that make help with a diagnosis.

it doesn't sound safe. I don't even know what it is. But if you have to ask, the answer is no.\n\nhuffing kills your brain.

You should have a full physical, you have been ill more than normal.  It could be that there are bugs going around...travelling and working close together sapreads germs quickly.  Or it could be whats known as "Sick Office Syndrome".  It really exisits.  Google it and see if that fits with your symptoms.  I cant remember details but its something to do with air conditioning which is not as clean as it should be...;

the best one is definitely Jumping Frenchmen of Maine disorder.\n\nThose who suffer from Jumping Frenchman of Maine have highly exaggerated startle reflexes, and tend to leap about wildly, whooping and flailing their elbows ineffectually when they are frightened.\n\nThe disorder was named after a pair of French-Canadian lumberjack brothers who worked in Maine.\n\nI can only imagine the living hell it must have been for them living in a lumber camp where their reaction was well known enough to get the disorder named after them.  I know if I were working with them, I'd be compelled to test their reactions at least once a week.

OK that might be me, lol.I will change my profile!!!! I have fibromyalgia. It is a illness reconized by the arthritis foundation. I will change my profile and put the whole name!!!\n\nWow, I am glad I saw this. Really. Thank you. I am trying to get ppl better informed. I know there are many that are sick and do not know what is wrong!!! Yesterday was National Fibromyalgia Day!!! \n\n\nA lot of ppl with it call it FMS. I do not have false memory sydrome, never heard of that. Sorry I just assume more ppl know about it. That is wrong of me. Their are so many illnesses. \n\nHere is a bit what it is: I have tons of links. Basically I have all kinds of problems. Some are sicker then me and some better. But I have daily pain, fatigue and many problems that never go away. I often feel like I have the flu. \n\nFibromyalgia\nAdapted from these Arthritis Foundation publications: Fibromyalgia brochure, Guide to Good Living with Fibromyalgia and Good Living with Fibromyalgia Workbook.  \n\nWhat Is It?\n\nFibromyalgia (fye-bro-my-AL-gee-ah) is an arthritis-related condition that is characterized by  generalized muscular pain and fatigue. The term "fibromyalgia" means pain in the muscles, ligaments and tendons. This condition is referred to as a "syndrome" because it's a set of signs and symptoms that occur together.\n\nFibromyalgia is especially confusing and often misunderstood condition. Because its symptoms are quite common and laboratory  tests are generally normal, people with fibromyalgia were once told that their condition was "all in their head." However, medical studies have proven that fibromyalgia does indeed exist, and it is estimated to affect about 2 percent of the U.S. population today.\n\nIn 1990, the American College of Rheumatology, the official body of doctors who treat arthritis and related conditions, finally legitimized fibromyalgia in the medical community by presenting its criteria for diagnosing it. It is diagnosed when the you display the following symptoms:\n\nA history of widespread pain (pain on both sides of the body and above and below the waist) that is present for at least three months\n\nPain in at least 11 of 18 tender-point sites.

I don't know the name of this condition; but it appears to be some sort of muscoskeletal disorder.\n\nWasn't she in a Marilyn Manson video?  Dope Show, maybe?

It is so nice to know that mental illness is alive and breeding. I'm not sure of your source on this one but it is safe to say that you should believe the funny papers. Thanks for the laugh.

this sounds like another name for schizophrenia-mental health comes out with more and more disorders eveyday.Hey,sorry I don't have it but why don't you talk to your counselor about it?

I used to have it a lot.  I washed my hands ALL the time and took like 3 or 4 baths a day.  Couldn't eat anything that I didn't feel was clean enough, ended up crying all the time because I thought I was going to die of some weird sickness...had it for a long time but never took any medication for it.  Eventually it went away on its own.

I wouldn't really worry about it. In most cases like this, the symptoms you explain are all in your head. \n\nBecause you think you should have a problem, your head kind of makes-up these "symptoms" you are feeling. It doesn't really sound like is in a serious case, but, as always, if you really do feel ill continuously, consult your medical advisor.

I am chronically ill.  Lately I found that my doctor has been mal-treating me for the last four years.  I am a peaceful person, but this has had me furious.  I have thought how much fun it would be to break him in half.  So, in this case it is good that I've not gotten out much.

they say it is stress induced, the reoccuring. You can get medicine to help shorten the heal time such as abreva. the other less costly ones do not work nearly as well. It will be OK it is a very common condition. It is aggravating, but it is no big deal. Good luck
