It's usually called "hypochondria" or "psychosomatic".

I use to wonder, when I was a kid, how come a radio can work inside the house. Discovering the electromagnetic waves go everywhere was a little unsettling considering we operate (or not) on electrochemical impulses.

Of course the amount of waves zipping through the air is increasing exponentially. At work, everything coming in has RFID tags and you can't walk 100 feet without passing through a scanning field. At DuPont, the door would unlock as I approached with a RFID in my wallet.... in my back pocket. That means the waves had to go through me.

Calling it "hypochondria" or "psychosomatic" doesn't make it so. There are plenty of people suffering from things the majority don't. They are written off as crackpots until someone discovers the cause/effect is valid, even if it only applies to a handful of people.

If she was trying to make a buck off it, I'd be immediately suspicious but I doesn't cost me anything to give her the benefit of the doubt.
