This is very true, but kids that experience sexual abuse usually go hyper sexual or hypo sexual.
There is almost nothing she posts that doesn’t make me feel like I immediately need to apologize & shower. Her Halloween week cosplay posts were fucked, but trying to tie in Remembrance Day into her fake ass amnesia spells is, wow…
This is an amazing encapsulation of everything wrong with the "social justice" movement. Wonderful, thank you.
I know someone, actually more than one who uses a scooter for MECFS. It's a thing because making people with CFS do anything at all to try and get better is literally torture and will kill them.
I guess I get the people who rent them in certain places. Like if a rental chair/scooter is the difference between being able to enjoy your family vacation at Disney and being stuck in the hotel alone then I think it’s fine. The people who are like “I need a custom power chair/ultralight manual chair for my CFS” are the people that I find really fuckin annoying. If you have zero objective sign of organic neurological or neuromuscular disease or certain orthopedic illnesses, there’s basically zero chance that you legitimately need that level of support.
These girls online have custom power chairs. I get maybe renting one sometimes or whatever but these are the super high end custom light power chairs fully operated by one stick on the armrest. Wild.
One person I know is going to apply for government funding to get a super expensive lightweight folding scooter so they can travel by claiming its for work. They already have a perfectly serviceable scooter and a car.
(Off topic but that show sounds really interesting. Is it worth checking out?)
I actually watched the episode after seeing that post and I think it's worth the watch! I haven't checked out any other episodes yet but I might just have to because that episode was really intriguing. At first I was getting serious MBP vibes from the mother, but as the episode progressed it seemed like the mysterious "illness" was perpetuated by both the mother and daughter equally.
No, not really. If anything, using a wheelchair for fatigue just makes these girls even more deconditioned and incapable of tolerating normal daily activities.
Glad other people thought it was interesting too! I rewatched It after making the post and realized I mixed up a couple of minor details. She does still have the port and, surprise surprise, got the munchie fave MALS surgery and shit all over Dr. Sanders, saying she was just like all the other meanie doctors who diagnosed her with rumination. Her reasoning was this: the producers went with a “behavioral” diagnosis (rumination is not behavioral and it is not an eating disorder like lashay claims. It’s a reflex.) because had the “accurately” given her the dx of MALS and the surgery didn’t work, they would’ve had legal trouble. Never mind the fact that Lashay ALREADY HAD a diagnosis of rumination from the positive testing, or that the episode prior was about a little girl with Rasmussen’s and got a surgery to implant a brain stimulation device, at the advice of Dr. Sanders.
As a day to day tool, definitely no.
This guy grosses me the fuck out.
