Community Munchausen's by Internet (Malingerers, Munchies, Spoonies, etc) - Feigning Illnesses for Attention

What is EDS and why do munchies always claim to have it? I'm not up to munch lore, who are Betsy and Cheyenne?
Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, a genetic connective tissue disease, because the hypermobility subtype has no known gene variant and it’s diagnosed on clinical signs and patient history. It also has the potential to cause a bunch of other problems because it effects collagen which is everywhere in your body, so they get to then pursue a bunch of other diagnoses that are equally easy to fake.

Cheyanne is a long term faker with severe anorexia who put herself in multiple organ failure and documented it all under the name Hospital Princess. She claims she can’t eat or drink anything because of allergies so she was being fed entirely IV and was sabotaging that. She’s apparently been given a transplant now but no one’s heard an update since she got “the call.”

Betsy was actually sick and died. she’s in the two posts i just made about Brynn Duncan. Her only crime was being friends with an attention seeking idiot.
 
So in her "sepsis scare" the ER picture is Brigham and Womans ER in mid phase of the overhaul. She than tags prisma health. WTH? Its possible that and other hospitals ER looks like that, but that just adds to her ER hopping.

What are the signs and how do munchies fake it? Is it related to "tubes"?

they fake it because there are no tests to prove it, so its just reported symptoms for most of it
 
the tubes are mostly for comorbidities. They claim POTS and gastroparesis related to the EDS, both of which have tests that can be fairly easily thrown off with methods they share amongst themselves. POTS makes your blood pressure crash and the treatment is eat salt, drink more water, exercise. Gastroparesis is slow stomach emptying. so they claim they can’t eat enough salt or drink enough water to fix the pots because their stomach is fucked, can’t exercise because their fragile EDS joints. one complicit doctor later and you have a jejunal feeding tube, a central line for saline, and a wheelchair for your fainting and dislocations.

It’s literally all because it’s shit that can’t be definitively tested for with symptoms you can mimic by starving and dehydrating yourself or induced with easy to obtain medications, and they openly discuss which doctors are giving out the diagnoses and toys with the least resistance.
 
I'm kind of in awe of Brynn's long stints in the ICU. I think KFS must be right about her getting them because back then there wasn't really an observable trend in girls like her (young, female, white, fairly affluent) having EDS/POTS/MCAS/GP and abusing steroids yet. Now it seems like doctors have caught on and are a lot less credulous when facing patients actively seeking out those diagnoses. I can't see her getting those lengthy stays now without something genuine being wrong, like a bad bout of sepsis.

The fact that she's apparently 'helped' other young, white, affluent girls with their diagnoses makes it seem like she's one of the munchies who will tell you exactly how to munch properly. Others seem to jealously guard their secrets.

The Face That Launched 1000 Munchies

Quick logistical question, if anyone can help: I pretty exclusively use KF on mobile and often when I open a spoiler then click to enlarge an image, when I close the image the page automatically scrolls down to the very bottom of the spoiler. Then I have to find my place again, and it gets very annoying, especially in long spoilers. Any advice?
I think it's just a "don't use mobile or suck it up" kind of deal.
 

Don't have time to do an entire writeup (and please send me lots of alarm clocks if she's already famous around here, I don't check this thread often but couldn't find her name in search). This has all the hallmarks of a munchie case or maybe MbP. In and out of hospitals with constant gofundmes, any time she starts to get better she's getting weird infections that won't seem to stop. I think the mom in this one might actually kill the kid (who is 21 and not exactly a kid).
 
News from IF land-

Potential munchie mod catetemybrains is officially out "because the dox" (cue dramatic tears- these mods suffer for the craft guys). Dox of info she posted publicly. Totally not because she got caught acting a fool in screenshots you gathered, running crazy in EuthGoneWild, or for what I posted here about asking for medical advice over the internet from a sub member. It's just a coincidence not even 24 hours later she's gone as a mod without a post explaining why.

IF mods are definitely in this space which is really funny from their purity and anti Kiwi bullshit.

The Ashley ban only lasted a day too after she found mold on a potted plant and had bitch fit like she had just ingested novochok taking a bunch of Silkwood showers to scrub it off. So all that sperging was for nothing. At this point the mod meltdowns are almost as entertaining as the munchies.

Well done Vampyroteuthis infernalis BTW.

Oh FFS, she was not doxed. I collected screenshots of information that she chose to make publicly available on the account she uses to moderate a munchie subreddit. I don't know her legal name (unless it's Cat, and if it is choose a better username). I know the town she lives in - that is the most identifying thing about her - because she posted it. If she had posted her address, I wouldn't have reposted it, just said "this dumb bitch posted her address on reddit."

If Cat or anyone else is wondering why I "brought her children into it":
--Cat sticks to the IF narrative that promoting medical advice online is dangerous (and it is). She also told someone who dislikes hospitals to go get fully sedated like her daughter with a needle phobia.
--She said her son is very private and doesn't like to share about his health because he's autistic. She said this while sharing about his health. That's just a dick move.
--People constantly accuse random IF munchies' parents of MBP-ing their kids. Ellen in particular has comments on almost every post saying that it's obviously her mom behind it and even writing the posts on her account. If one of her kids somehow got the attention of IF, and someone saw one of Cat's comments, there would be endless MBP speculation with no actual proof.
If she had posted their names or faces, or any identifying information beyond age and gender, I would not have posted it. Her children are not responsible for her internet actions. This is probably obvious to all of you, but somehow Cat missed it so I'm just being careful.

Anyway, Cat died. Someone who is definitely not her is using the u/IFModTeam account, which was only made in the first place because Cat is unlikable and was being called out.

Cat, a brave warrior moderator, has "very passionate enemies." Seeing her own posts screenshotted and laughed at for a few moments before everyone moved on to someone actually funny was "extremely traumatic" for her to go through, poor thing.

nope incorrect.png
This stranger, who is absolutely not Cat on her mod-sanctioned sock, uses the technicality of someone else misreading a comment to deny everything. She participated regularly in r/euthgonewild and was snarky there because it was allowed there; this is apparently worthy of stirring up drama. (On the off chance amber_maigon is reading here, you can still post the screenshots for posterity's sake)

I would also like to point out that the only reason I give a shit is because she is a grown ass woman with children and a job behaving like a cluster B teenager, pretending that moderating a munchie sub is her full time fucking job that feeds her starving children and threatens her life at every moment. It's hypocritical and it's very funny. If one of the munchies was behaving like her, they would be absolutely crucified and called all sorts of names. So it's "bullying" when it's targeted at Cat, but not bullying when it's mentally ill young women suffering from factitious disorder who just need to be called out so they can see the light and repent. Got it.
Seriously, have you considered moving on from snark and learning to knit or something?

(edit again, I gave up and just made a new post with Ashley)

Fair enough. I figure it's always worth an ask though.
I switched partially to laptop, especially if I want to go into an image and video spoilered post, and I can't actually replicate this right now because it keeps my place on mobile when I close the image, but I know the issue you're talking about and I remember for me there was a difference between closing the image properly and just swiping it closed. I can't say more than that because I can't replicate the issue right now, sorry.

I don’t know about y’all but Brynn’s “friendship” with that little girl is highly suspect. They both got the rona and quarantined together? Seems molesty to me. According to this wonderful timeline Brynn hasn’t had any other coochie or D in her life (which also strikes me as unusual compared to the other munchies) but for these grown ass bitches to be besties with a child that doesn’t appear to even be in high school is wildly shady. And both of them need to lay off the steroids, Brynn’s starting to look like a Slaton sister.

Ashley also posted this photo with a boring caption about periods. She was apparently not held at gunpoint and forced to post this. She took this photo, edited it, thought "that looks great" and chose to post it with a caption about her bleeding snatch.
(ETA I'm having trouble getting the photo to attach, pretend it is here)
Here ya go:
Hmm, won't let me attach the pic of Ashley's jacked up panties. Maybe something wrong with kf at the moment. I'll try again in a bit.

And now she just posted a video of her faking passing out. Lol. This bitch.
