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

I know that, but I still wouldn’t prescribe them for someone who had problems breathing? But fair point, that explains it.
It's the sort of thing you do when you're shit out of options. When your respiratory difficulties are due to spasticity or involuntary muscle spasms, baclofen is going to be first line (which she was already on), and benzodiazepines can be added on if needed, because there isn't a whole hell of a lot you can do about spasticity of your chest wall or diaphragm.

It is a fine balance, though. Too many benzos and you'll depress respiratory drive, which is also bad. But unlike opioids, you have to take a metric shitload of benzos to get there. Most often, fatalities involving benzodiazepines involve other drugs as well. Diazepam in particular is challenging to overdose on when taken in isolation.

True. The long t1/2 and active metabolites make diazepam a pain in the ass when you’re trying to assess risk for benzo deliriums, though. I’ve seen someone develop a full DT a couple of weeks after last binge. Scary stuff.
 
There's definitely a fetish angle involved

I was looking through her followers out of curiosity. Rose follows an account abdlrdenver that is a store selling adult diapers for fetish reasons.

In case anyone lurking wants to give Rose benefit of the doubt and make excuses and say "maybe she really needs diapers" even though regular adult diapers from Walgreens exist... She has a catheter and wants to get a urostomy. There is no real reason she could be using diapers besides fetish. I feel gross writing "diapers" so many times.

She also follows Gypsy Rose Blanchard, I wonder why? I did not see any other famous people she's following, so I don't think it's to gossip... I do not like to speculate about people's abuse history but Rose has said more than once that she was sexually abused as a child and I think she or someone else said it was by a family member too, so it did make me wonder for a moment if Rose has a Munchausen-by-proxy aspect to her story.

She also follows a lot of disabled kids. A LOT. It's really very creepy. Many of the kids have genetic disorders or cerebral palsy or something, I didn't go too far down the rabbit hole because it was making me feel gross and creepy, but I did notice may of those kids were in wheelchairs, had feeding tubes or a trach or some other visible medical device, basically they were all visibly disabled. I did not take any screenshots of this because kids deserve privacy but if you don't believe me you can see who she follows on Instagram by clicking on her account.

Sorry if I did this post wrong. I have been lurking here for a while because you talk about more interesting people than on illness fakers. I am getting tired of Dani and Kaya.
 
For anyone interested in Rose check out @large_farva original introduction post here .

She used to be very into ABDL stuff and had dedicated IG accounts for it.
I forgot about her for some time and next time I checked her out she had pivoted from toddler couture to her current old dying lady style. That happened I think around summer 2021, when she grifted her own wheelchair accessible apartment.

Edit: pressed post too soon

Your timeline is correct. The hard pivot from the fetish shit to the fairy grandmother coincided with the move and deleting her old accounts.

because she gave herself a foot drop from being in the wheelchair she doesn't need.

Rose is so fucked in the head but her creepy boyfriend must be a whole other level of fucked in the head.
I don't know that I buy she has any real problem with her legs, induced or otherwise. Here's a video from yesterday that conveniently cuts off right as she's about to stand up from crawling through a play tunnel.


One of her posing with her leg up and no orthotic a week ago.


A few weeks ago, walking around in her jammies. She does OOTD videos all the time where she has no orthotics and walks back and forth to her camera and I never notice any problem. She's clearly not got contractures since she can stand on her flat feet, and she doesn't seem to drag her toes when she walks as in foot drop. I'll try to find better examples when I'm home later.
 
I double extra like that her high GFR is obviously within the normal range, which is clearly listed as >=60. Which makes me think that she does not know what the > and < signs mean.

She also does not understand that random deviations from the normal range for many labs are totally meaningless because they are frequently caused by minor illness or injury. Her slightly elevated ESR, C3, and endoscopy findings could all be explained by a tummy bug within the last month or two. Hell, if you get complete blood counts on every 2 year old in daycare during the winter months, the vast majority of them will have elevated platelets and mild lymphocytosis because those things happen during viral illnesses, and every 2 year old in daycare in the winter has a snotty nose. Doesn't mean they're chronically ill.
Your ESR range changes with your age, too - half your age plus 10 sometimes get used. Her value is barely a blip regardless, there's no way she's getting a RA diagnosis with this and a negative RF. I am always conflicted about patients having access to their test results because lots of them, like Jessica, are completely illiterate and don't understand what they're looking at. Even when their results have pretty colors on them indicating good and bad.

I'd love to see what they've got listed under her diagnoses. I'm willing to bet it's just mess from old, suspected things that have been ruled out.

I do love them boasting about their lists. It’s like me and you declaring were chronically anaemic because our iron level occasionally drops, or because our ‘normal’ iron is lower than the average joe. I recently gained access to my results through the nhs app and it’s interesting looking at results and comparing normal to when actually sick. The nhs app is nowhere near complete though (I nosed through mine to see what’s wrong with my foot and if a cause was mentioned as it has been playing up for a few years with periods of increased pain, physio helped although it may have been coincidental…).

Considering how “educated” these girls are it is funny seeing their overreactions to ‘mystery’ results, like the kidney function indicator. The nhs app has small explanations under bloods explaining how certain conditions affect the ranges.

I do wonder how many symptoms they get, after lying their way to meds, are brought on by medications abuse. Inflammation in the stomach? Easily triggered. If she had genuine gastritis and migraines I can’t see her being well enough to be online all day lol. Oh wait, I forgot how being a chronic pain warrior makes them able to do things, just not work or leave the house for anything that isn’t a Disney land holiday ;) !

Much appreciation for the investigating and compiling, I love coming back to see what they’ve been up to.

Why is her hair consistently not just dirty or greasy, but absolutely filthy? I see her hair is thin and quite fine which does show grease pretty quickly, but the way her hair sticks together in clumps of grime made me legitimately nauseous. I can't tell if it's part of her grift, showing she's "too sick and weak" to properly wash, or just her being an all-around weirdo with terrible hygiene. Maybe some column A, some column B.

I do not like to speculate about people's abuse history but Rose has said more than once that she was sexually abused as a child and I think she or someone else said it was by a family member too, so it did make me wonder for a moment if Rose has a Munchausen-by-proxy aspect to her story
Forgot to say: the abuser was her father, he's totally out of the picture now.
I think she connected with Gypsy's revenge story of a young child horribly abused by a caretaker . She mentions her mother from time to time but I never got the impression she had anything to do with the munching, I suspect it's all Rose.
She's more clever than what she makes herself look like. She's not as forthcoming with the medical information as the no-filter munchies are. A few times in the past she went private after being mentioned either here or on Reddit... She's more adept at managig her lies than your average Florida girl.

I found a two screenshots of her old accounts on my phone:

Screenshot_20240310_153739.jpg

I think this is from June 2019 on her old TinkieBinkie ABDL account. You can tell from the tiny avatar on the left she used to be a bit chubby and then lost it quite quickly. I'm pretty sure a feeding tube was involved.
This was the only time I saw her give a name to her condishuns.

No clue why I saved this, maybe just to document the depths of her im a helpless lil baby larp/humiliation fetish.

She's so committed to skip the years of adult womanhood to live out her fantasies fethishizing those times in life women are not (or less) sexually active.
Her sister too, considering she pointed out. I really like her actually, she seems resourceful, wish she didn't feel the need to poison herself with testosterone to live. Their father must've been real POS.

Wow that's awful, glad he is not in her life anymore... I think you are probably also right about why she likes Gypsy Rose too.
I wonder sometimes how things like this happen. Plenty of people suffer horrific child abuse, of course that causes all sorts of long term psychological issues, but not very many child abuse survivors grow up to be extreme munchies with a diaper baby fetish. What went wrong in Rose's life and brain that she ended up so... crazy?

The mitochondrial disorder is news to me. Mito is genetic, so unless she had genetic testing showing a mutation, Rose is just completely lying and this never happened so eventually she dropped the lie OR she was diagnosed based on symptoms by some quack and later realized it was bullshit.

It's interesting that she says it will eventually kill her. She says the same thing about stiff person syndrome. No matter her diagnosis, Rose is really fixated on it being terminal. I remember her saying at one point that she had a suicide attempt (it might have been said in her SBSK interview video) and that now after going through that she wants to live... if she wants to live then why is she so obsessed with posting about how she's dying?

Personally my theory is that Rose is still suicidal, she still wants to die but she doesn't want to kill herself. If it's her disease that kills her instead, then that's way better option. Terminal illness generates much more sympathy than suicide. Plus, death from terminal illness is inevitable, nobody can stop her from dying from that. But if Rose admits she's suicidal, there's going to be an expectation for her to get mental health treatment and eventually stop feeling that way. It's really fucked up but not uncommon for people who have been mentally ill for a very long time to feel some resistance towards attempting recovery. It can be terrifying to think about "What if someday I feel better? What if someday I don't want to kill myself anymore?" Plus if you don't want to live anymore in the first place, why would you waste time trying to get better and create a life worth living? Of course it sounds crazy that people could think that since it's totally illogical, but mental illness does not make sense, it's a disease.

Also I looked at that tinkiebinkie231 account. It's still public. The post you screenshotted was from 2020. Rose says she was 26 in 2020... but on her regular account rosethrives she says in her bio she is 24... So in the past 4 years she has aged -2 years? The lies just never end!
 
Rose disturbs me deeply but credit given where credit is due, she got a hole punched into her esophagus for shits and giggles and that's the type of munchie dedication I'm here for.
She actually got a hole punched into her trachea for shits and giggles. Which is simultaneously so much better, and so very, very, very much worse.

OH DO I HAVE A TREAT FOR YOU
Treats, right? Because tracheocutaneous fistulas are so fetch right now.
 
I'm a bit late to the party, but Null's most recent stream made me aware of this thread. I have a family member who served time in prison alongside Gypsy Rose. I'll have to ask her again her exact experiences with her, but she told me she was a weirdo, through and through. I can't blame Rose, considering her upbringing, but I haven't heard any flattering testimonies about her either.
 
So, Kate Beckinsale is claiming MCAS now. From the pic I’d say a cocaine binge and/or ED relapse is more likely. What say you?

(Sorry, no archive, mobilefag)

ETA: maybe I’m being unkind, she could actually be ill for real or have major depressive disorder, but that MCAS shit sets my spidey sense off…
So, she is actually wearing that ridiculous bow in the hospital? Please.
