hypochondriac

The accusations do not stop when the person is diagnosed however. It is difficult for people to understand that someone can be extremely unwell yet will show little or no outward signs of the disease. If the diagnosed individual falls down or runs into a wall friends will often attribute it to normal every day clumsiness when it is actually caused by the body's poor nerve conductivity.

In any case, this term should not be used lightly. Nervous system disorders can cause a wide range of ailments, some of which are thought to be completely unrelated to the brain by uneducated assholes. Unfortunately EVERYTHING about you is controlled by your brain/nervous system and if there is a defect in that system, it can and will affect any number of usually normal processes.
