Later she went back to the doctors and they said that she was misdiagnosed.
What I wonder about is does God allow people to have disease because of sin or in this case the ladies attitude toward her husband?

I believe that all imbalances, in health, environment, society, wildlife, etc. are there, ultimately because man sinned and brought sin into the world.
I believe that in
some cases illness can be a trial, or it
could be punishment from God, but more often than not, it's just a symptom of our imperfect world, and not necessarily the sin of one person, as much as the sins of all of us.
Further, God sometimes has a purpose above what we can understand, and we aren't ill because we "deserve" it, or for any other reason, except that for some reason its in His plan.
Joh 9:1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
Joh 9:2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
Joh 9:3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
