Answers:
They are expecting to garner sympathy!. The less they hear "Oh, you poor thing" the less reward there is!. Eventually she might catch on and quit!. It is a hard habit to break, though!. I'm working on mine!.

Well, just out of curiousity, is your grandmother divorced or widowed!? because if she is, and family doesn't come around that much, it may be out of lonliness!. Its pretty common for the elderly to fake an illness simply because they are lonley and they want someone to come talk to them, and just spend time with them!. That may be the case with your grandmother!. Maybe she just wants you or your family to come spend some time with her!.
i hope that answers your question!.
