Aren’t LFN sufferers just making it up to get attention?
No, there is more to it than this. In the past there was a tendency to categorise sufferers in this way. Nowadays, people who interview sufferers are usually convinced of the genuineness of the complaint, even if they can’t find an explanation for it. Many sufferer’s reports are careful, detailed and objective, which would have been difficult to fake. Furthermore, reports from diverse situations around the world describe remarkably similar phenomena even when the individuals concerned have no knowledge of other sufferers. Nowadays the consensus opinion is that the suffering is genuine and should be taken seriously even if can’t be explained.
