Thanks for your input. I actually felt ambivalent about this myself because it's not abnormal at all for spina bifida to lack that sensation, but she posts a lot about leg pains. Fair enough, since the sensory innervation is slightly different, but so is motor so she can walk just fine (describes it as feeling like walking on stilts). In the court case it was said she would definitely 100% need a wheelchair as that aspect gets worse as she gets older (and also claimed part time use, but there's been 0 proof of that that I've seen).

I've always just assumed she had spondylolithesis/lumbar stenosis from the surgery to fix the spina-bifida.


The amount of time you get between when you stand and when the symptoms set in decreases over time. So if she gets them after being upright 30 minutes, as it progresses it'll go down to where she can't walk further than a block or two without rest.

Dunno why she can't have surgery to fix it, but I'm sure something looks wrong on her MRI.

LMAOOOO Paige just go ahead and die already. :story: :story: :story:

I personally don't want Paige to die. I want more amputations! More of the same sad face! Kelly Ronahan has gone quiet, now's your chance to be the queen of sickness, Paige!

Damn I’m gonna miss EGW but maybe it’ll make me post on here more. I too am a Kiwi by way of Reddit but Kiwi Farms is way more fun, lol. I don’t know a lot about the admin side of Reddit but I’m a little surprised Bee was able to get EGW taken down considering how many similar snark subs there are..?

Seems more likely it was Kellan imo, they’d been causing trouble the past week or so

EGW was better than IFGW, MS & IF. Euth was a good mod too. Didn't care for drama and didn't mind the jokes. I enjoyed the photoshops in that subreddit.

Euth's good people. Like I say about MBIresearch, we don't agree on everything (or much really) but they're the kind of people you can disagree with, have a mature conversation, shake hands, and remain friendly. Both of them have their respectable reasons for doing things the way they do/did in their own subs.

That said the pet photos, constant stupid joke posts and off-topic crap, and general Reddit-ness of EGW (mandatory pronouns on every post? gtfo) made me very rarely participate in it. Plus I never knew who like 90% of the people they discussed were because of Reddit's terrible format, since i would scroll through and see like 15 posts that were just one single instagram story of some boring-looking bitch I'd never heard of with no explanation as to why it was funny. "Kate's back on her shit again (emoji emoji emoji) [she/her]" does not help me.

That was most likely Diana. They have the world's biggest collective hate-boner for her despite her being possibly one of the most boring people to ever exist.

That'd be the one. I had no idea who she was or what was supposed to be funny about her and I swear I developed face blindness after seeing so many pictures of her with no other information.

So Evie Toombs has a website now:
Archive:

Apparently she needs a cath to pee and had fecal incontinence she had ACE for. Which is what I figured when she posted the picture of the diaper on her head. I'm going to guess she's got mental health issues/an eating disorder too.

slight PL
I've got a lot of spine issues. Her issues always sounded legit to me, and I've experiences like what she's described from my my stenosis. Fortunately I was just able to have decompressions, but it sounds like the fatty tumor makes that risky/impossible for her.

My problems at least, I could do everything normally for a little while. But after about two hours of continuous activity my legs would be a writhing, uncoordinated, painful, twitching mess from the knees down for a day or two. I'd also have to cath if I pushed things further than that. I could do whatever I wanted, but dear god would I pay for it later.

Doesn't mean she isn't a munchie, just means that part seems legit to me.

I got big munch vibes.

Joins reddit less than 2 weeks ago. First post is asking to give gifts to disabled people or carers.

Within days she's posting gofundmes because she's apparently now bankrupt due to some wheelchair thing she got. Why the wheelchair?

Well a mystery illness that let's her walk but only sometimes. Because her muscles are "tight."

All her posts since she joined were about her mystery disability and because she kept squeeeeing over new toys, her gofundme actually got funded.

FEELS LEGIT

without powerlevelling, sounds like some type of EDS
calf muscles might be too short which might explain it, and also why they aren't just giving her pain meds (its inborn and fixed by getting more rest; giving out pain meds willy nilly will just fuck her up in the long run because then the tolerance builds up, and if she does have EDS, when it gets worse she'll need all of the pain meds she'll get.)

but you still need to stay fit as you can, don't give up immediately or you'll end up like most of the munchies here. and it doesnt paralyse you completely at that either so shes just lazy af.

also very very very stupid to go thousands in debt over something that she could have gotten help with for free lmao. willpower skills low?

methinks the gofundme was to pay off the credit AND buy the toys tbh

Does Chelton have a thread on here? I would love to read that. Haven't seen much on her lately.
Click to expand...
most of them don't have individual threads because the interest is so low. Gen Pop here doesn't care about munchie mean girl drama and there's rarely enough content to support a thread based on their own gawkers.
