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

I’m too lazy to put together full timelines together right now

Then don't post.

We just went over this for two goddamned pages.

Hey everyone I’m a total dumbass with this website so I apologize for how badly formatted this might be, but I’ve been just viewing for awhile. There’s a couple young girls (18-20) I’ve seen a lot on Instagram, in all honesty I’m too lazy to put together full timelines together right now but there’s a lot of red flags with this one. If anyone wants me to post more info about her just lmk and I’ll go into more detail.

First “spoonie” in my saga: Charlise Jones in North Carolina
Instagram: @charliseyyy , @charliseyscrochetcloset , @charliseycrochetcahoots , @charleastofmyproblems

TikTok:
@charliseyscrochetcloset
@charliseyyy
@charliseycrochetcahoots

Why does she have so many instagrams? No fucking idea.

She posts excessively about *how terrible she’s doing* There’s been plenty of times she’s unnecessarily hospitalized for things she did to herself. (Ex: she claims to not be able to eat anything by mouth but is constantly posting that she just HAD to eat a specific item, on her stories drinking energy drinks with having POTS)

She also talks constantly about how pain meds don’t do anything for her (yet don’t cause adverse reactions?) or she needs “special” pain meds and blacks out in psychosis. (Also one of her stories she complained that her doctor wouldn’t refill her pain meds so now she has to stay up all night doing her makeup to distract herself)

There also a whole thing about having a nasal feeding tube then suddenly got surgical tubes that for some reason she could never use them (“too much pain, throws up all her feeds”) eventually got removed. And now suddenly she has a surgical feeding tube again (Same exact one she had before and it magically works)

She claims to have EDS, MCAS, POTS, CCI, Tethered cord syndrome, MALS, SMAS, nutcracker Syndrome and just a shitload of other Pokémon cards.

Somehow no matter how terrible she’s doing she find the time and energy to wear mascara and take selfies in the hospital.

She recently had spinal surgery (which I don’t doubt since she loves posting photos of the incisions)

Conveniently after her surgery about a week later she ended up in the hospital with “severe spinal infection resistant to antibiotics” and was in the hospital for over a month (my theory is that she didn’t like that she was discharged after surgery so she purposefully infected her incisions to stay longer in the hospital over thanksgiving)

On top of that she has these story highlights on her Instagram with like 50+ photos and rants all about her “illnesses” she even posts videos of her screaming and crying and “in pain” and said “oh it’s for my doctor but I wanted to post it here”

While I don’t doubt she has *some* of these conditions something really seems off.

Another theory I have is her mom, she’s stated multiple times her mom has advocated for her and yelled at drs & hospitals for how bad she’s doing. Multiple drs have told her it’s psychological but she denies it’s anything related to that. (Including strange “tics” and “seizures”) her mom also runs a gofundme for charlise and her mon frequently posts “updates” about charlise on her Facebook page.

Seems to me that someone got attention in the hospital and decided they liked it a little more than mommy and daddy’s attention.

If you don't care enough about her to tell us why she's funny why should we care enough to laugh at her?

That Jordan girl is just sad - imagine being a pretty, athletic girl with great grades, lots of potential for a nice life and throwing it away for painkillers, obesity, and misery porn for views. Just a regular reminder that social media has absolutely fucked up so many young people.

 

[Flourishing Pinecone ❧]

Imagine if these people could access therapy. Imagine the cost savings to the health care sector.

 

[ZB927]

Lol! The first one is just funny. The one with the glasses - she's got what looks like Oreo crust on her lips and what looks like Oreo/Cheeto dust on her fingers and under her fingernail, which is fitting for a video about being fat.

 

[No Batty Boys in Jamaica]

This is all just a plot to get the Disney Magic Key. Calling it now.

 

[Autism princess]

Just a quick reminder/plea to all the newbies here:

PLEASE STOP MENTIONING POTENTIAL COWS HERE BEFORE YOU HAVE SCREENSHOTTED AND ARCHIVED THEIR SHIT.

Seriously. Knock it off. You're scaring away the herd. If you have munchies you want discussed either do these things yourself or quietly message someone else that has the time and wherewithal to do so.

It's super frustrating watching people DFE before their shit is archives and it's so, so easy to prevent this. There have been a few in the last few weeks and months that've been brought up in passing and subsequently vanished and basically, you're spoiling it for everyone if you cause this to happen because you were too lazy and/or new to archive stuff.

Ok, thanks for coming to my TedTalk, y'all.

My bad, sorry, that makes a lot of sense thank you.

Imagine deciding "if I can't be a professional gymnast I'll be Allyson Marie Sutphin".

I just checked back in on Drewy to see how shes doing. She abruptly stopped posting on insta and tiktok exactly one week ago. Up until then she was posting daily or multiple times a day on each platform.
What gives Drewy? Why so quiet?

I just want to say @Kate Farms Shill you’re part of the reason why I signed up for the farms earlier this summer (Reddit illnessfaker refugee poster and longtime lurker before). Your write ups are amazing (same with @GenociderSyo). I really can’t limit that compliment to just a couple of posters because the farms has some really talented archivists and writers.

Also it’s amazing how Jordan morphed into Victoria…

 

[A tree]

I'm sure this post a few hours later is a coincidence and any possible relevant subtext that could be read into it would be well above the social communication level of a level 2 nonverbal autist. They wouldn't make a crack about mean girls at us. Coincidence.

Haha almost— but ickie Vickie is just a steroid addict (which is why she’s been dropped by at least two different endocrinologists— DESPITE FUCKING CLAIMING A NET TUMOR LMAO)and Jordan is just straight up antipsychotic cocktail leading to insatiable carb cravings.

Can a munchie be the victim of psychiatric malpractice?

 

[Trees]

We've discovered the impossible: a case of Chron's more severe than Paul's.

DON'T LET HER PUT A VEST ON IT

 

[Dnein]

in today’s episode of Victoria Is a Terrible Liar, vic pretends to have dystonia and contorted feet, when in actuality she’s just doin a silly little leg shake with completely normal looking feet. Careful Vic, some people would pay big money for those feet pics you’re just giving away for free!

She's so goddamned bad at faking, I'm beginning to see a subclass of munchies here. I don't understand how she sits around fixating on her illnesses and can't even get a basic clue what she's talking about. Most fakers seem to put effort into stalking the genuinely sick, webMD, picking up lingo and learning to at least put in an illusion.

I think part of her schtick is that she enjoys being told she's faking, honestly. She seems to REALLY get a rise out of doctors and nurses getting impatient or telling her she needs psych help. She loves making those sad music, cry videos (like moon-face Ash), so I am beginning to think that's the goal, not being believed. I think they live for the dramatic argument, screaming at family members for their doubts, and big scenes, followed by going to the internet to cry.

Why put effort in if the goal is persecution points, I guess?

Rose has fucked about and found out. Just get it taken out. Apparently the recommended treatment for the form of respiratory failure she claims is the old kind of vent she had and trach is not recommended.

Can a medfag explain how she might have failed this trach?

 

[Flourishing Pinecone ❧]

So I am going to assume PMV = Paasy-Muir valve, which is the usual speech valve for traches.


So usually when you have a trache in, you are breathing in AND out via this new hole in your throat. Most notably, this hole is  below your vocal cords (layrnx). So if air is only moving below your cords, you can't make sound.
Also, there is usually an cuff that is inflated to create a nice seal so air doesn't leak (because ventilators work by pushing air in and out, you want to make sure the air is moving down into your lungs and not leaking up and out your nose & mouth).

The Paasy-Muir works as a one way valve, so you breathe in via your trache but air moves up and out through your vocal cords so you can make sound. You also need to have the cuff deflated to allow air to move up and past the trache - if you had the cuff inflated, the person would only be able to breathe in, and not exhale at all. So these are usually used off a ventilator simply because you don't need the assistance with moving air in and out.

This is one of the many reasons you want to avoid a trache if you don't need it. If you just need breathing support and you have a normal airway structure (no risk of your airway becoming blocked), you are better off with non-invasive ventilation like she had before. However that's a moot point as she didn't need it to begin with.

(Also traches are different anatomically to largyngectomies that people get with cancer in their larynx, so I don't think one of those electronic voice boxes would work so apparently you can use them as per this case study for a very specific type of patient, in that case a person who had a lot of secretions that would block up the PMV and make it unsafe).

Why are there so many frigging EDSers??? I mean you get EDSers and then you EDSers who just seem to want to be frigging disabled.

I don't want to PL so I won't but this one bugs the fuck out of me on a personal level.

Since when has Rose claimed stiff person syndrome? I don't recall ever seeing her use that hashtag, but admittedly, she creeps me out so badly that I may have just missed it.

I wonder if we'll see an uptick in SPS munching because of Celine Dion's recent announcement.
