My elderly aunt is 80 years old. She's quite specific about discomfort and pain she experiences at home and then when we get to the Dr., she says, "I'm doing great." It's like the opposite of hypochondria. She's not faking because she has been diagnosed with several severe conditions but it's only through testing that the doctors and nurses are able to find out that anything is wrong. I didn't think much of it at first but I'm afraid this condition is going to keep her from being diagnosed properly when I'm not there to go to the doctor's office with her. Is there a medical term for this?
