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

[Suspendered]

Why does every post of mine just reek of so much effort? can I never just say "lol fat and dead?"

I know I speak for multitudes when I say that your posts are a consistent highlight of this thread. There have been many times I’ve seen one of your deep dives and gotten excited to settle in for a juicy read. Add me to the list of KF users eager to purchase your first book. /crush

She has, and she had a situation where she had a seizure bad enough to be taken by ambu (aborted by emergency meds) followed by a psychogenic seizure in the ED. The doctor apparently got wires crossed and thought she only had PNES so he placed a regular IV in her neck. Then they saw her history and realized that she had previous respiratory failure from status epilepticus and they needed better access, which unfortunately led to her getting an IO placed while she was awake and alert.

Sounds like they were letting the residents take a crack at it. Bailing on an EJ to do an IO is weird as hell.

At least munchies continue to be useful making sure everyone gets the required number of procedures done. I guess.

They admitted her, but when she started having more "collapsing spells" and hitting her head, they flagged her as psych. Her new feeding tube and her port were both removed and she was moved to the behavioral unit for self-harm and combative behavior. She was there for weeks before she got transferred to another hospital's psych unit who put her on unspecified seizure medication.

Aren't psyched units where they keep the 72 hour idiots? It makes me sad to think she would be there. They're a nightmare.

I always smirk when I see histrionic women with a pathological need for attention brag about being afflicted by the PNES

KFS is probably the best poster on this site.

She took organs that should have gone to people who needed and deserved them and then died nearly immediately afterwards anyway. So they were wasted.

The scary thing is, some people think you can just "redonate" the organs if you die, which is not a thing. You can't double dip with donated organs.

It didn't sound right to me but she provided proof that she had the line in her neck, an accessed port, and the IO all at the same time.

She should be happy they realized her very long seizure was a medical emergency and got the treatment for status epilepticus instead of fighting with other lines.

Taylor's decline into Afrindom was a truly sad read.
These young girls see him thinking they're getting a fast track to all the shiny munchie toys and cool diagnoses, but instead they're getting steroid-induced complications then an awful death. Paralysed if they're lucky.

Jeezus. How many more has this happened to? I wonder if anyone is actually spotting patterns with Afrin apart from the people in this thread...

F for Taylor. She may have been a munchie but she didn't deserve that, poor cow was only 20.
What a damn waste.

Munchie Rebecca Esther is a non-binary fat munchie e-beggar who states she has Borderline Personality Disorder, POTS, Body Dysmorphia, Hidradenitis Suppurativa, Body-focused repetitive behaviors, IBS, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder with skin picking, Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, abdominal migraines, gastroparesis, Crohn's Disease, severe depression, chronic pain syndrome, PCOS and Endromitrisis and is mostly bedbound. She also has a media pass she uses to get into places.



Current status being evicted.



Medical "Trauma"



For someone who is mainly bed bound and oh so sick she sure goes out to eat a lot and BOY does she eat a majority of her instagram posts are her eating in many different states. Made even crazier by the fact she states she has Crohns. No one with Crohns is eating thai chilis and jalopenos unless they wish to die in a giant bloody mess.





For a bit she had a press pass somehow yet form what I see her "press company" had like 9 posts on IG.


Obligatory MAH PAIN IG post:


And of course she is nonbinary


Fat




Different diagnosises






And of course the posts showing her pills. And EVERY time she has blood drawn she has to take a selfie.




Drugs she seems to be on, mainly psych meds and otcs.
Ropivacaine
B12
Itraconazole
Dramamine OTC for Kids
Venlafaxine
Lansoprazole
Pregabalin (Lyrica)
Advil
Midol


She uses this as an excuse why she barely finished high school and never obtained anything from multiple colleges.

This is a hot mess from multiple angles (I'll just ignore ropicavaine since that's a nerve block agent)

You shouldn't be taking itraconazole if you're morbidly obese also but it won't even work if you're taking a PPI (lansoprazole) since it needs to be broken down by stomach acid and also taking an NSAID when you already have GI issues. Cool, cool.

My thoughts on the rest:
The venlafaxine is for depression, but is doing double duty to treat the trichotillomania and excoriation disorder.

Pregabalin is prescribed for her anxiety.
I can't see a doctor prescribing her that for pain as it's for nerve pain as opposed to for...whatever she claims to have.

There are many reasons for B12 to be low in young women, heavy periods etc, but she is also on a PPI which depletes B12, so it's easy to believe she actually gets a 3 monthly injection.

Dramamine? I'm assuming she takes it when she has a migraine to deal with the nausea. If she suffers from migraines regularly then she should have a rescue medicine, usually a triptan. Taken in time, the rescue medicine should alleviate the symptoms.
In addition, if you still suffer migraines beyond this then you'll be prescribed a preventative, perhaps a beta blocker, perhaps an anti epileptic.
What the dramamine tells me - her doctors don't believe she has migraines.
Or, y'know, she gets travel sick and is trying to pass it off as a special spoonie medicine.

Also: abdominal migraines?
Is that the after effects of aforementioned jalapeños and chillies?

Abdominal migraines are mostly a pediatric disorder. I don't have anything to cite, but it's suspicious to claim that as an adult, alongside gastroparesis and Crohn's, and be on no meds for it.

You'd expect her to be on something that affects the immune system for Crohn's. Plus she claims both IBS and Crohn's when Crohn's would rule out IBS. I also don't see how a form of IBD that causes chronic diarrhea (Crohn's) would cause gasotroparesis. People with Crohn's are more likely to be underweight too.

Honestly, I don't think she actually got scoped to confirm Crohn's.

Colonoscopy prep is less "teehee I can only drink clear liquids #selfie #spoonie #chronicillness" and more "my toilet is begging for mercy and praying for death"

I agree totally.
(my spaz attempt to Do A Funny was grim, sarcasm just doesn't make it through text lol).

This munchie has mainly self diagnosed conditions IMO, and the only physician diagnosed conditions she has are those pertaining to mental health.
*and her fungal infection.

 

[Otterly]

There's also two other young women, both of whom I believe were Afrin patients, who developed the same condition that paralyzed Taylor.

This is some good detective work. This guy is killing them. I kind of feel this should get passed to the local press or something… it’s genuinely nasty stuff

Also: abdominal migraines?

They exist. More common in Children but regular migraine can have a significant stomach and gut involvement as well. It’s possible a lot of child colic is actually this.
I recommend Oliver sacks’ book ‘migraine’ it is a brilliant look at them. He talks about how they can be triggered physically, but also how they can be a real expression of emotional issues as well. His books are great.
And of course migraine / abdominal migraine have no lab test, it’s just your say so (not denying migraine exists, it does and they suck but they’re also something that munchies can easily claim.) what she’s suffering from is the effects of eating massive amounts of beige fried slop.

I started Awakenings by Oliver Sacks after someone here mentioned it. It is more terrifying than any Steven King I’ve ever read.

Sacks other works are amazing. I love "the man who mistook his wife for a hat".

The wernicke-korsakoff descriptions were enlightening. He has a way with words.

 

[often puzzled]

There are really good preventative drugs for migraine now. The monthly(ish) home injections like Aimovig and Emgality (the ones that end in -ab) are absolutely life-changing for a lot of migraine sufferers. You can pop a Nurtec at home (along with your Imitrex) and have the full ER spa experience without leaving your bed of pain. Who wouldn't prefer longing for death in the peace of your own home?

I know that these people don't actually have migraines, because anyone who really has them is going to be all over these options like white on rice.

I also doubt her claims of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). I'm no doctor, but I am an insomniac who watches pimple-popping videos. Based on this impeccable set of qualifications, I know that HS often involves truly painful-looking lesions and tracts, and it leaves distinct scars. The armpits are often afflicted. This individual flashes her hairy armpits plenty, but I didn't see any of the unmistakable signs of HS.

Borderline, though? Yes, I did see plenty of evidence to support that particular claim.
