And so we come back to another 30 day challenge. She’s had signs of CRPS since her surgery but just got diagnosed in August.
Ope, scratch that, no more CRPS challenge. Jamie and her fellow Jehooter’s Witness are headed back to Connecticut for the trial nerve block that was supposed to happen in Arkansas but apparently no one there would do it. Travel is terrible for her because of her leg. She gets a slice of pizza to eat after her nerve block, as she’s supposed to eat right away to see if it worked.
Success! She has the block and feels real relief! This means she’s a candidate for open abdo MALS surgery! How exciting!!!! She posts herself making faces at various foods.




By the next day it’s completely worn off and she’s miserable, experiencing pain and “nerve zapping” that forces them to delay their flight. She, naturally, posts a picture of her posing with a coffee to illustrate this. I also just have to laugh at the fact that the roommate looks like her spinster aunt all the time
. Sedation doesn’t work for her, she needs the full propofol. Yeah it’s good stuff, kiddo.
Back home her friend takes her for ketamine infusions. The pain management clinic she sees is four hours from home.
Uh-oh, she’s getting worse from the ketamine. Hope it’s just a rebound flare.
Lollll she wears her EDS society hoodie to the ER every time she goes. First off, what is an
emergency in your world Jamie? Because if you can plan your outfit it’s probably not one. Second, the red flags on this one. I just wanna be a fly on the wall when the nurses are talking shit.
Back to the CRPS challenge, unfortunately. Jamie tells us she has developed osteoporosis in her leg and that the bones are “practically see-through.” Yeah, that’s what happens when you starve yourself for years and refuse to bear weight on your leg.
“A surgery I can’t tell if I’m grateful for or wish I never received.” Wow, what a tell! Pretend this is you and you are not an insane munchie. You have a work injury or slipped on some ice, tripped on uneven pavement, whatever. It hurts, but you’re functional. You can drive, go to work, engage in your hobbies, walk your doggo, do your own shopping and food prep and stuff; it just hurts all the time and you wish it didn’t. You go to a doctor and he tells you that you need this surgery to repair the joints or it’ll get worse. Fine, you’re not a doctor so you’ll take his word. You get this surgery and you come out of it in way worse pain than you ever had before, which doesn’t go away after many months and actually gets worse. You can’t function anymore because of the pain and it turns out the surgery caused this thing called CRPS that’s giving you horrendous false pain signals every second of your life. You can’t walk. You can’t put any weight on the leg because of the pain. Because of that you also develop osteoporosis in that leg at an age where your bone density should be at its peak. Your bedsheet brushing lightly against it at night feels like an acid burn. You can’t even wear pants. You now have to use a wheelchair to get around when before you could just walk. On what planet would you ever think there was a redeeming side of this surgery? And that’s what happened here. If you believe Jamie she went from “pain, but manageable” to “most painful disease known to man” and low quality of life, yet she’s still happy she did it on some level.
LET ME EXPLAIN! I was never doing better! I was in pain no matter what we tried! That’s when I found out I have CRPS and need to stop trying. Yeah dude muscle atrophy and osteoporosis are what happen when you totally stop using a limb. This isn’t a super special CRPS thing, this is a “munchie not doing what she should for months post-op because she wants a wheelchair” thing.


She has Type I CRPS, the more common type, but also all the symptoms of type II. Whatever you say.
It formerly affected her from the knee down but has now spread to her hip. Her only hope is it doesn’t spread to other places.
“What medications have you tried? Well you see I’m sooooo complex, most medications don’t work for me because of EDS, also I’m allergic to them because of MCAS, did you know I’m getting saline and lactated ringers for my POTS and GI issues?” We find out one of the drugs they tried was gabapentin but it was “hell”.


Jamie, who is usually very tight-lipped about her health and doesn't like talking about it, finally opened up to someone who asked her how she was doing.
She’s now on a diet of boiled carrots, chicken broth, and coconut milk, can’t take any pain meds, CRPS getting worse. She needs to get into a 12 week pain management program for her CRPS and she needs to do it NOW, before her MALS surgery. Heck! Maybe she can even start walking again! But it’s $10,000 to get in and she has no insurance, also she needs money for her MALS surgery after it’s over. Thats where YOU come in! Gib. Gib like you’ve never gabe before! I especially like the 50/10 pain cryface selfie followed, again, by one where she looks fine if not bored.


The cast-off crutches several feet from where she’s perched really make it special.
Salt water allows her to function and keeps her from clogging the ER every day demanding attention. Without it she is FATIGUE, BRINGER OF EXHAUSTION. Oh but every time they give her an IV it risks starting a CRPS flare. You know where that one’s going.

Complains that her CRPS gets worse with cold weather but then alters her jeans to leave the bad leg bare because muh allodynia. It’s okay, the brace basically keeps her leg warm even though it’s basically ice cold all the time anyway! Her leg is now so atrophied it’s like half the size of the other.

She gets her wheelchair adjusted. The unnecessarily high supportive back she never needed for her subclinical not-scoliosis has been replaced with a more reasonable low back, but her “dump” (the angle of the chair to the backrest) has been adjusted all the way down. She claims this is for hip comfort, but the actual purpose of it is to keep people with limited trunk control from tipping forwards by shifting their point of balance backwards. Wheelchair-sensei says: “normally you’d only see dump like that on the chair of a person with a complete low cervical spinal cord injury or severe muscle weakness. Dump is a disadvantage otherwise because it reduces your functional reach.”

Stumpy fuck has been demoted back down to #emotionalsupportdog. Still can’t just have a pet, but at least it’s not being made to drag her around.
Things Jamie’s MCAS does not react to: hair dye.
Lol she makes the roommate massage her when all her muscles “seized into one painful curled position”
Suddenly mid-December, she announces she’s getting a GJ tube placed and she has to fly last minute to get it done. WHERE IS ALL THIS MONEY COMING FROM? She also has to change insurance again for home health to cover her supplies. I’m just so confused. So she’s got MALS, and she had that nerve block thing and it was a complete success right? She ate a variety of foods while it was working and was very happy, no pain, no symptoms, MALS was totally the right diagnosis. Which means she’s signed up for the MALS surgery which will have the same effect, but permanent because the Hsu method is to remove the entire nerve ganglion and no nerve ganglion, no ouchy. That’s coming up in a few months. So why a surgical tube if the nerve resection is going to fix the problem in just a few months? Why not make her stick it out with a nose hose until her appointment? Also, tinfoily but after her appointment with Hsu she talked about how they have to go with an NG or NJ instead of a GJ and my assumption was Hsu told her a GJ would jeopardize the surgery in some way. With her history of sabotaging everything and making sure she always has a way that she can claim it didn’t work and she will not be getting better, it makes me think she’s setting up that the MALS surgery didn’t work because of the damage her GJ did or something.
Over on the GFM they say that she tried to find a doctor closer to home to do the surgery but he told her to kick rocks. And they don’t know what, if any, of this her insurance will cover so GIB. This kid’s financial situation just baffles me. Her GFM doesn’t get that much traction and she always says insurance won’t cover something or she doesn’t have it. So is she just piling up medical debt with no intention of ever paying it back?
This is an adult talking about sewing matching outfits for herself and her barbie doll. She’s back in Colorado to see her GI.
On the 23rd, she goes in for her GJ placement. “My GI does not function properly due to my auto immune diseases.” What, your fake lupus you’re not being treated for? Or the not-autoimmune dysautonomia you claim has crippled your parasympathetic nervous system despite testing coming back normal and contrast moving through you at a normal rate?
Surgery is delayed when they can’t find an anesthesia that will work for her. Either she metabolises them too fast or she’s super duper allergic. Only propofol will work. They do manage to squeeze her in and she gets her new toob.
So much pain. Feeds at the lowest possible rate but not tolerating that. And she’s in withdrawal from missing her cymbalta now lol. Stupid doctors never listen to her!!!



Heh. It’s funny. She never really says “It’s June 7 and I’m still here” on her other prolonged stays but she does so for Christmas, which, as a Jehippopotamus’s Witness, she doesn’t celebrate or acknowledge. She’s aware that non-Jehomosexuals hear you’ve spent Christmas in the hospital and give maximum asspat, but she can’t acknowledge that’s what she’s doing so she just states the date and lets you fill in the gap. Clever girl. It’s like the pro-level of her birthday present loophole.
10mL/hr of formula and a 20mL water flush is all she can tolerate through her J-tube after four days. But she has to drink a potassium solution because her electrolytes crashed. So if her stomach can handle that why aren’t they giving her Ensure or something? Oh whatever, munchie logic.


“Trying not to have a billion allergies to meds. . . trying to advocate for myself against stilly doctors who don’t understand chronic illness and pain.” Magnificent.

The hospital runs out of her speshul feed that she’s barely running and switches to another brand. It makes her terribly ill! She needs to start Creamy, Delicious Kate Farms Standard Enteral Formula (unflavored). Try it as a mouthwash! Unfortunately now she’s had this setback.
We have entered 2020 and Jamie is still in the hospital. So Jamie has tried to pull some insurance fuckery. She gets the surgery in Colorado under her parents’ insurance who are covering her hospital care, but then claims she intends to go back to Arkansas before January when that policy ends and have Arkansas medicaid pay for all the continued care and home health. Instead, because she malingered in the hospital for weeks, she is now uninsured in the hospital Colorado and her coverage has rolled over to Arkansas medicaid. Arkansas says as long as she’s eating food (and she admits she’s still eating carrots and green beans lmao), she doesn’t get her j-tube supplies covered because clearly she doesn’t need it. She has to be NPO before they cover it, which means the hospital have now taken her food away so she can continue to get medical care. The munchie who claims that anything more than 10mL/hr of elemental feed into her jejunum leaves her in complete agony is having a fucking tantrum because they took her snacks away. It’s such a minor sacrifice. It’s not like they’ll be placing a camera in her apartment to make sure she’s NPO once she’s home. As long as she plays the part until discharge she’s golden. But here’s the thing. I really think Jamie does not want to go back to Arkansas. The doctors there are mean and don’t do what she says. She’s had to go back to Colorado several times to find a doctor willing to punch a hole in her abdomen, and her parents are now financially stable as well as nice and coddling even beyond what her massage-giving roommate is willing to do. i think thi insurance thing is just her way to get out of dodge by claiming Arkansas wouldn't cover what she needed but Colorado would. Anyway I just noticed GeneticllyBendy is now in the comments. I guess she found Jamie or jamie found her through feeding tube hashtags.


I just want you to imagine walking in on someone taking the selfie on the right.
Three whole weeks after she gets into the hospital she’s finally up and walking. No, she’s still not bearing weight on her left leg, but she’s out of her bed at least.
After 17 long days she’s discharged on January 8th.


She’s moved back home with her parents and is being treated for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, which Dr. Google confirms can be a side effect of starving yourself. Jamie reminds us this is what she’s doing in the very next paragraph by bragging that her weight is into the 90s when in her days as a “dancer, figure skater, very athletic” she was in the 120s. The pill is Zenpep (pancrelipase), a pancreatic enzyme replacement.
Body check for her totally not sponsored tape advertisement.
After just a few days of running her feed excruciatingly slow she’s already seeing benefits people take months to notice like hair growing in, but not the ones people notice right away like not feeling like they’re going to pass out. Her leg hurts more and this is a good sign because it means she’s slowing the atrophy or something.

Surely if every IV risks this shit spreading to your whole body you’d stop getting IV saltwater 5 days a week and just drink water like a pleb. I’m still thinking she caused whatever nerve shit is going on by bracing way too tight for way too long after surgery.
She’s now being evaluated for cEDS as suggested by her specialist. So is bendy!
Another month to bring awareness to Jamie in specific. This time it’s MALS. Anything short of surgery is just a bandaid that won’t work. She’ll be getting sliced in July.
On that note, Kawaii drinks are still on the menu with tube-chan!
Normally this would be treatable through PT (and she admits it is) but she has no intention of this wheelchair being temporary. This is her identity now. By the way her foot just dangling off the chair with no support like this is undoubtedly causing her more problems but that’s another feature-not-bug thing.

Feeding tube awareness, because Jamie never misses the chance to bring more awareness to herself and how very special she is. No point watching this but she does say tomorrow she’s getting on a flight but doesn’t specify where or why. I think she was flying back to Arkansas to pack or something but I don’t know.
A post about a bunch of people who had cancer or cancer scares. Oddly she doesn’t mention her stepmother which makes me think the family told her to stop using stepmom’s real cancer for attention.
On GFM she lets everyone know she still doesn’t have insurance and is draining her parents’ recently-somewhat-secure finances with her cripple larp. GIB NOW. GIB DEEPLY.

Over on instagram she’s claiming that she was ‘constantly threatened with a feeding tube’ as a child and she was malnourished due to pain, feared food by 6, and had to have the school counselor play games and beg her to eat during the lunch period. She envisioned food as horrible torture devices ready to harm her. Somehow she got over this after her parents consistently threatened to tube her which was her biggest fear. If this isn’t a total fabrication that means Jamie was showing signs of this eating disorder long before her kpop days.
On that note, she’s not tolerating any of the feeds they try and her potassium is through the floor. Nice one. She’s also going to start home infusions 1-2 times a week for her salt water.
What person would smile like this on the anniversary of the surgery that allegedly ruined their life? And there’s the big reveal she’s been hinting at for months, the newest dance LARP. She’s already tried to be an elite gymnast, figure skater, and ballerina despite that her family couldn’t afford the training and she only ever learned parlor tricks like a sloppy arabesque, a kawaii idoru despite not being Japanese, and a k-pop sensation modeled on Jimin despite being neither male nor Korean. She’s now going to skinwalk Chelsie Hill of the Rollettes because unlike her parents’ financial situation and her race, she can actually control this. She can destroy her leg so badly through, honestly, pure neglect that it ceases function and she really does need a wheelchair. Once she got that immobilizer and wheelchair it became easy to just never use that leg ever again, and with the anorexia her muscles atrophied and bone dissolved to the point that turning this around is going to be a real problem. And that was on purpose. She’s never getting out of the chair. This was the culmination of her long con. With that, it’s back to all dance vids all day.
Tagging the Rollettes (and pastelspoons) over on Tikok.

And here, admitting the hospital only let her go after surgery “on a few conditions…...” when they wanted her to go immediately into rehab to get her up and walking again. I’m gonna guess those conditons were “start PT immediately and go to all followup care so we can monitor.” Instead, as we know, she moved 12 hours away to Arkansas to delay starting PT for weeks and couldn’t get home for followup.
Showing that days before surgery she was still fucking around and hurting herself on purpose. Feb 2019, right before the leg reconstruction.
LMAO her fat gremlin jehogwash keto friend was “recently diagnosed with gastroparesis.” Secondary to uncontrolled diabetes, maybe.
Hemiplegic migraines causing major paralysis eipsodes she’s never mentioned suffering before. Before it was “ absence seizure or migraine aura.”
She
still has no insurance after moving home to Colorado and her family still has to pay for all her supplies out of pocket. Please don’t ask what she’s tried, she’s tried literally everything and she needs her special formula. Just gib. (there is no continued below)
Jamie is so unique the nurses remember her because of all her very special spoonique diagnoses and this lets her get the IV in on the first try! Tube changed. Muh medical ptsd.
And she is now on Creamy, Delicious Kate Farms Peptide 1.5 Enteral Formula (Plain Flavor). Try it as a sensual lubricant! Kate Farms in the comments, being their usual social media ghoul selves.


Covid is upon us and Jamie has decided to take a break from instagram
unfortunately, in true Jamie style, this just means that her barely-active tiktok has become active now and I have to pay attention to it for the first time. god dammit. She has an “emergency tube change” on the 14th of March.

Look I know this is an important skill for real wheelchair users to learn if they want to get around in an inaccessible world, etc etc, but look at her leg man. It’s just dangling there. Please remember this girl claims her hip dislocates constantly and that that leg in specific got worse because she was having to use her hips more when her knee/ankle were out of commission pre-surgery, and also has shown proof she has osteoporosis in that leg now and is liable to break it froma minor injury. She also claims that leg is in pain all the time and even the slightly touch puts her in agony. But going over the curb where her leg jumps in the chair is fine. Not a wince.
she's also active on facebook again after this. Positive Grey's Anatomy sign.
This is the clinic she wants to go to that costs $10,000.
She clogs her tube (can’t have anything to do with Creamy Delicious Kate Farms) until they give her a buttuhn. God she must be such a pain in the ass to deal with at the hospital. “I at times forget to remind some of the team of my hEDS and how to properly move me and position me when I am put under general anesthesia as well as to be gentle when intubating me as I have fragile skin.” So she has an ouchy throat after getting intubated and this is because she was mishandled or some shit, and now she’s in a MALS flare. Kate Farms is off the menu now, having served its intended purpose of clogging the shit out of her tube, and she’s starting Neocate Splash.


Man I know dunking on someone’s looks is low hanging fruit but how did this delusional tit ever think she was going to be a pop star?
Lol she’s filtering the shit out of these photos to make the color difference look more stark and instead it makes her normal leg look like its made of metal. Also, nice clean non-atrophic scar there very EDS. And I’m still running with my “bracing too tight to temporarily make her leg look angry” theory as per the lines on that foot. I don’t know if I’d bother with a pedicure if my whole leg was in agony from the slightest touchbut at least she learned that saying she couldn’t tolerate a pant leg brushing her but shaving dilligently wasn’t flying. Anyway onto the caption, her CRPS is spreading and getting worse every time she has any kind of “trauma” to her system. It’s now moved up to her stomach, which was “inevitable” according to her. Breathing is painful, laughing hurts, her whole trunk is in agony.


Shilling her GFM and amazon wishlist again. I don’t know what was on her wishlist at the time but the only thing still on there from this era is a mini ice cream maker.

Here’s the rest of it, since it doesn’t really contain spoilers. She expects people to pay for everything from skincare to home décor while she lays around in bed all day. This is her
medical wish list.







She also has a sewing wishlist.
And I have no idea who sarah is but this wishlist is full of aromatherapy oils and bedding.
All this time she’s been running to the ER for life-saving salt water infusions. Finally in April she has been approved for state insurance and can get them at home. And she’s on to her next shiny prize already – she needs a port because her crappy veins and every IV might spread her CRPS.

Sniffing up Chelsie Hill’s skirt again.
Her tube is misplaced or blocked again and she needs to go to IR to fix it. In the meantime, she doesn’t have to run her feeds. Oh god Jehummers and their loopholes again. She can’t celebrate Easter because it’s rooted in Pagan tradition but they do have a “Jesus memorial day” and it's in spring and it’s the most important day of the year. So.
Easter. Cool.

Hmm, she has something fun to do so no immobilizer, legs crossed, leg not bright red-purple, only using crutches. Something tells me Jamie is exaggerating the level of pain and disability she experiences!
A few days later she tells us she was in “full migraine lockdown” for several days and she couldn’t rush to the ER for treatment.
Just two short days after that she gets her port placed. Now is a good time to remind everyone that as a Jehorn-and-hardart’s witness Jamie cannot receive a blood transfusion.

And she’s already looking forward to her next surgery! Open abdo MALS surgery with Dr. Hsu! Surely this will solve all her problems except we already know it won’t because she’s already laid the foundation for where this was going: CRPS moves where ever there’s surgical trauma and it’s already moved into her abdominal wall because of her GJ. Terrible use of foreshadowing, Jamie. Really hamfisted.
LOL she said PIV and I’m 12. She gets her port accessed for the first time and it’s a success. Once again, look how beautifully she’s healing after just a few days.
And we’re off on another long, boring month of Bringing Awareness To Jamie In Specific.

EDS and CRPS makes her period cramps turn into 19/10 emergency room pain medication time. So bad she has to break out the black and white filter so we
know it's serious

I lost track and can’t even remember if she was claiming hashimoto’s before but she is now, and also claiming the migraine auras were really seizures. “Occasional full body spasms and paralysis” sure kid. Most of this EDS photo-a-day challenge is the same shit we’ve seen from past iterations so blessedly I can skip a lot.
She goes to a MCAS clinic and oh my gosh they told her everything she wanted to hear! She almost cried!! She has a “starch allergy” (which, from what I can tell, is one of those made-up woo diagnoses) and her hand has been breaking out in all these “odd itchy bubbles.” That’s eczema, you moron. She’s severely allergic to oxycodone but is fine with oxycontin because it’s the pure form of… and that’s about when I’d hit my stupidity limit for the evening.
HOW THE FUCK DID YOU GET UP THERE??? We can see the crutches leaning against the seawall/jetty thing.
Changed her pain doctor because she can no longer travel to Tennessee to get her k-hole on. She’s being evaluated for a spinal cord stim for CRPS pain which is now spreading to her right leg, predictably.
Over on GFM she makes her last update saying her liver and kidneys are fucked and there’s also a cyst on her liver now but she’s excited to get her MALS surgery!
Red 4 vEDS and look at my toyyyys!
She can't afford a phone anymore.
Lodging herself in Chelsie’s vagina again.
Hahahahah hooooly shit she really did get put in a k-hole! i was just joking but man they really done did it. She had a bad trip and was traumatized and now as soon as the ketamine hits she has a panic attack. Neat! Once again worried her CRPS may spread to her abdominal wall (previously claimed it already did but whatever, not the first time she’s claimed she had some problem then walked it back and said they’re not sure that’s what happened). Again, this is really, really hamfisted foreshadowing.

Oh god, it’s wonderful. Equine therapy for someone who: is allergic to literally everything; claims her joints and in specific her hips dislocate if you look at them hard; has osteoporosis so bad her bones are see-through; claims that any pressure and even a light breeze across her leg is excruciatingly painful; claims she has lumbar spinal pain so bad she needs a stimulator; cries poverty multiple times per month on gofundme. I love it.


And she’s a mermaid now.
Amazing that her terrible CRPS pain that can’t tolerate even soft leggings can tolerate a goddamned mermaid tail AND She can move her legs smoothly and fluidly while in it! She should just wear leggings made out of whatever the tail is and she will be miraculously cured!
Her port has “twisted.” She gives away that it was some dumb shit she did and she felt it ‘pop’ when she did it. No no, it’s her slow (beautiful) healing from her EDS and CRPS.

Anyway after letting everyone know her treatment now includes k-holes and fun fun horsie time,
GIB!!!!!!!!!!!! Mom is also not working now and from the sounds of it, it’s because Jamie has decided to monopolize her time with medical bullshit. They’re flying to Connecticut and you’re lucky it’s covid because if not the whole Bruce clan would be going! Anyway she NEEDS this surgery (that she’s already got an excuse to say did not work) so gib. Gib now. Gib all.






With that she starts a new venture, the very stupidly named SewBowtique, creating modest fashions for today’s Jehotrod woman.
(It actually started back in January 2019 but she never did anything with it until now.)
“I am very poor and need to save every penny” doesn’t hit as hard when you’re spending your days making yourself (and your stuffy!) mermaid crowns and costumes.

Also she’s clearly standing and moving around in this video without mobility aids.
I see her family really put a high value on jamie’s education, letting her skip the first month of school every year to play at the beach. That must have been an oober fun adventure she really enjoied!
A nerve block does not work for her CRPS and left her with "zings".
Getting her Pre-op for the MALS surgery at last!!!!
Jamie tries to make herself sound like an elite athlete in her younger years when really she participated in a few amateur vanity competitions for k-pop retards as an adult. Yet another reason my first draft had her as another competitive-dancer-to-munchie pipeline
Got them smart crutches with the zebra wrap on the arm braces.
Retconning again. Her stomach problems as a child suddenly weren't bad but escalated in high school when she needed a bunch of ER trips for them.
Joking about how all the doctors told her it was anxiety until she flew across the country to see one known for diagnosing everyone who walks in his door with MALS.
She barely talks about her MALS problem. I think Jamie and I have a very different definition of oversharing.
Jamie's port is fucked but they fix it, thank gosh!
And she gets plugs put in her tear ducts which has done some kind of body horror shit to me. I was much happier five seconds ago when I didn't now that tear duct plugs exist. And finally, she's also clogged her feeding tube just days before MALS surgery and has to have it replaced even though it will be removed after surgery.
So excited to get sliced open again! Amanda Jean Pape in the comments is geneticlly_bendy, cheering her on.




This is a makeup-worthy occasion, apparently.
I like that she tags wheelchair dance lady while posing in front of stairs. Very tone deaf thank you jamie.
Surgery time!!! And one last body check with her tube for good measure complete with fucking weird love letter.

Success! In early August she's discharged with a good pain regime (lol) to start life 2.0 as a brave and sparkling Hsunicorn. She had to stay a few extra days because the area she was staying in had no power but the hospital did.
