Solarwave,
I've had some experiences with apparently miraculous healing but I would never expect people to accept my word. At the time they were edifying to my walk with Christ but I have since re-evaluated my experiences and found them lacking either due to medical intervention or straight up delusion on my part.
I don't think people believe you are lying as much as they question the validity of your perception. The Christian worldview typically includes miracles so it is very possible that you could be ignoring the very real reasons someone was healed, i.e. medical intervention, and prefer to believe that God intervened. If you were right there and saw someone's arm grow back we would want video due to the outrageousness of the claim.
This is the way I look at it at least; I assume people are as truthful as I am and then try to comprehend what they are saying.
