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

Autie remembers she's meant to have EDS. Shows us her super sever wobbly leg that looks exactly the same as the other leg. Hip subluxes on static bike but not rollerskating or mountain climbing. K.

If you post before documenting, the risk is they will DFE before we get any real milk.

So as long as I've got screenshots then I can post? I'm working on it (sorry, new to this - thanks in advance)

I have to be clear that I don’t do timelines/OPs - You have to be more autistic than I am to do a good job on them. That being said, if I were creating a post with receipts about a munchie, I would not publish anything until after doing a timeline. You may have lots of screen caps/pictures but when actually creating a timeline you may realize that something you need is left out. Then, if you’ve already published and the munchie goes private or DFE’s, you won’t be able to get it.

i’m mostly a reader here - lurked for years before posting the first time. Take time and look at good timelines and model what you like about the them. Keep in mind there’s a definite culture here in BP, as well as the farms in general. You want to respect the culture with your posts. And there’s no rush as long as you have access.

There’s a lot of people who create amazing timelines (@Kate Farms Shill and @GenociderSyo come to mind off of the top of my head) . Check out their timelines and the advice throughout this thread, on documenting munchies. I’d take a long read through it (the thread) and then work on your post.

Good luck, new munchies are usually a good thing!

Just put it all together in proving grounds and follow their guide as well. What helps me is make an outline first of the major areas and then just start popping the pictures in and finding themes around them. With munchies that should be easy since they tend to focus on one thing to be their grift then move on to another when that doesn't work.

Or just dump them here if they don't have enough material to carry a thread, which IMO most munchies don't. I just go chronologically because it's easier than thematic.

I've been watching "the challenge," and a reoccurring competitor has what seems to be actual EDS.

She never says it by name but mentions a connective tissue disease, and you can tell. Her skin looks like it's falling off, as does her hair. She's had to be removed from the game because jumping in water shifted some of her ribs (and like why would you keep competing in a physical reality show if your innards are constantly moving around?)


It was interesting seeing someone with actual eds, rather than all these smooth skinned snowflakes that look perfectly healthy and yet can't get a job. This bitch is rotting and she's still jumping off cliffs

Preferably archive it all first, that's a large part of the mission and point of the site and it'll protect you from your cow potentially DFEing

Haven't watched but looked it up and if it's the right person is indeed EDS. Explored her instagram and there's little mention other than the below explanation of what happened with the ribs and a "What is EDS" link to the EDS society in her bio. In regards to hair seems like bog standard alopecia. Skin isn't great but she is 42, so I wonder if genuine connective tissue issues accelerate that or if she's just spent too many years without sun protection doing outdoors activities.

It does really go to show how normal a life you can have with EDS if you accept the single credible research-proven intervention of keeping active doing more exercise. Even proven EDS patients reject this advice because of the short term effort involved in physical therapy and inadvertently make life a lot worse for themselves. If you don't use it, you lose it.

Meanwhile over on r/illnessfakers, it seems to no longer be possible to mock illness fakers without getting paranoid about offending each other and immediately devolving into mutual, exaggeratedly self-castigating apology fest. The result is one of the most painfully embarrassing conversations I've ever witnessed. (Not sure if fully relevant but uh, whatever, if I had to see this then so do you.)

Not having to worry about/put up with shit like this is why I'm glad I jumped ship.

Let's see what Cherie is up to.

How lax is the NHS in Wales where they'll just give her type O neg and let her wander around the hallways with it.

Cherie's my favorite munchie because she like...dropped out of nursing school but that was enough info for her to munch hardcore. It's like an arms race for me figuring out how she's faking shit.

I have a feeling that with NHS doctors under so much pressure they're much more likely to take a patients word for their reported symptoms rather than investigate.

It's crossed my mind a few times lately when I've been dealing with health stuff for my kids and myself. Things I said went straight on the medical record as gospel and came back to me on doctors letters.

As a general rule, you should only transfuse if the Hb <8 (80) or it can be a bit higher if the person has other issues (eg. actively bleeding with a significant drop, heart failure, ischaemic heart disease).
But as we know with Kelly, the patients can make themselves anaemic if they have the means, does Cherie have a port?

Also she might just be type O- so that's all she's compatible with, rather than her getting emergency stock.

I don't think she's managed to munch her way to a port yet.

None of her claimed conditions have anything to do with bleeding or anemia, really, which is why I think she's on some other shit now. Almost like there's an easily available iron chelator you can buy and fuck your lab values up (never seen anyone do this in practice, but it's possible.)

Woonatics love to talk about chelating the heavy metals out of their bodies and horrifyingly their kids bodies.
Theres lots of supplements and sketchy shit out there.
Wouldn't surprise me if there's one for people in self diagnosed need of iron chelation. It's a buzzword they love cos it sounds sciencey.

Heres some naturopath woo about exactly that

Where's my main bitch Victoria lately?

She pretended to quit the internet back in may and posted some shit calling out her dad; it sounds like he’s been telling her to cut the wheelchair bullshit because there’s nothing wrong with her. She’s been talking a lot about this “movement disorder” but it’s really just her shaking her legs. I’ll try to find the video again but it’s definitely on her TikTok. Funnily enough, she’s not posted much about her “cancer.” Inch-resting.

I was delighted to read earlier that the twin apparently has a name now! I wonder how her parents feel about it all.

The parents are bastards for feeding into her delusions. I think Vic may be mentally ill, rather than an extreme attention seeker.

Ya think??

Re the parents I've got no idea to what extent they even know about this nonsense

"I'm carrying your love, your organs, and your DNA."

Sounds like something a stalker serial killer would say.

Also, LOL the hashtag 'my angle'

 

[SaturnBeforeSunset]

Mom is either the stupidest person alive or Vickie runs this account to make her bullshit more believable
This (meaning January, when she says her “memory came back”) was around the time she started playing with the wheelchair but couldn’t decide why she needed one (legs no workie? Movement disorder? She likes to keep it interesting).


Recently she settled on “movement disorder.” It is truly hilarious to see these “tremors.” Honestly, her complete and utter lack of awareness re: HOW FUCKING FAKE THIS LOOKS is a medical marvel itself.

Edit for clarity

Edit to avoid double posting but here’s what she has to say about whether she was a vanishing or conjoined twin (didn’t watch; couldn’t bear to hear whatever bullshit she came up with. Maybe someone can give a tl;dw lmao)
