Actually no, that's not Munchausen's, at least not yet, I think. She sounds
like she's mentally-ill, but I don't think that'd be it. From what you're
saying, I'd hazard a guess that she's genuinely disabled --mentally-ill --
and desperately needs someone to be friends with. I also think I detect a
bit of guilt for how she feels about her severely-disabled sister.
All of which does not mean you have to be friends with her. You don't need
to let her impose on you or use you for her purposes. I once had a similiar
situation and had to frankly tell the other person please not to contact me
or come around any more. She created a scene, very embarrassing for me, but
it worked.
