The clothing rack with everything hanging on the bottom half is an interesting choice for someone who "can't bend over."

And she sure bobs her head down quickly for someone who is concerned about fainting. There is a LOT of stuff on the floor in the parts of the apartment you can see. Does she live alone?
Imagine speaking to a genuine service dog trainer and explaining that yours is a Covid-19 dog...Just lost noticed that the dog is on the leash. Indoors. While 'working'. And she gives it a fairly large piece of meat for a treat. 1 treat for each piece of clothing it picked up. This dog is going to be round if she keeps that up.

Re: Flaming_Barghast posting about learningservicedogs ( I can't quote for some reason) in one of this girl's videos there is a comment about how one person's 12 year old son was walking with his 12 yr old (girl) friend and she fainted from POTS and fell in the river. He had to rescue her and when he brought her ashore, she couldn't communicate verbally but through tapping on him for yes or no questions he was able to help her. Perhaps this story is true in some fashion, but does it seem super far fetched? It certainly does to me but perhaps I am just a jaded person based on the muchie antics I have seen over the years. Of course this person was lauded with how spectacular their son was in replies to the comment.

Sounds true but dramatised. Coming round from drowning is pretty scary, confusing and some kids struggle to communicate when they are scared: I'd assume that would be reason for the tapping.
POTS exsists, it's basically that thing when you stand up quick and get light headed: but just drink more, up your blood pressure, take in more salt etc. I know a woman who every time she'd stop smoking she'd start fainting. It's not a permanent thing and it's not hard to manage.
If you're at such risk there's plenty of medications that can be used.
In addition to munchies, it's one of those disorders anorexics find useful to hide behind.

That’s actually not true. It can be permanent and there are different subtypes. Hyperadrenergic pots results in high blood pressure, excess sweating and heat intolerance, and it’s refractory (resistant) to medications.
There are def severe types, but for the most part it can be managed and is certainly not worth all the social media posts in the world. People who have it just want to go on living their life rather than draw attention to it.

Out of curiosity would one of you beautiful, valid, absolutely stunning, farmers be generous enough to bring the Dani tea over here? I've now seen 2 different people (one not even in this thread) mention Dani being a mess but never actually stating why or linking anything.
Alternatively where are you gossiping since I thought reddit cried evil doxing or whatever

She's not really talked about here or the other "farm" sites anymore. You can find some old posts by searching her name on here.
She's mostly talked about in r/danimarina and r/danimarinasnarking on reddit. They also have a discord for her. Those are the 3 main sources of current goings-ons with her

That girl doesn't need a dog. That girl needs water, salt, and maybe some iron. And some exercise. And time spent in the sun.

A couple of hours ago Physics Girl tweeted this:
At first, I assumed she got bored with the grift and decided to move on, but nah - there’s this recent tweet, too:
She’s just trying to have two grifts going at once. That’s very entrepreneurial for a broad with totally real LC.

Is the 'haze' bit a Lolita reference or a brain-fog one, please say the latter because she was gross enough already what with the grifting and pretending to be disabled.

Yes it does - and usually can be managed quite easily with additional sodium intake. That was literally the prescription for someone I knew who was diagnosed with it in her 20s.. obviously there are exceptional cases, but the munchie POTS thing is beyond ridiculous

Does anyone have any information on "thatdyingguy?" Pooner who claims EDS is killing him...her...it...
I've seen mentions in illnessfakers but never anything concrete. Definitely faking it. Trooning out didn't get her attention so she claims she's dying and grifts.

Just for content, I recommend anyone who doesn't follow Anna O'Brien aka GlitternLazers to go check out her thread. She's recently hit a munchie arc for "muh lipedema" and is rapidly latching on to every classic munchie add-on. POTS, EDS, chronic fatigue, you name it.

Remember this smug lady who e-begged to be butchered by Bolognese et al? Well, there’s a recent update. I bet all those surgeries fixed her and no new issues have arisen, right?Found one hell of a GoFundMe. Munchie bingo with extra steps, and pretensions to boot. Plus: guest appearance from Dr Bolognese!

Post from Emily:
Hi everyone! I wanted to give a quick medical update. Hoping to have more energy to do a financial update later.
My brother went to New York with me in June for testing and appointments with EDS Chiari Center specialists including a urologist, neurosurgeon, neurologist, neuropsychologist and ENT. I had a follow-up telehealth with the neurosurgeons last week. Here is what we know:
1) I have STING (styloid induced neuropathy of the glossopharyngeal nerve) and have been approved for a bilateral styloidectomy, done one side at a time in two separate surgeries spaced two months apart. This was so apparent that the ENT said during my nerve block test he thought it was clear I had it, and imaging confirmed it. So I need to make two more trips back to New York to fix this.
2) I have intracranial hypertension. The pressure in my head is pushing my cerebellar tonsils in the back of my brain down into the brainstem causing Chari symptoms, including decreases cerebral spinal fluid at the base of my skull. This pressure is also what is damaging my pituitary gland in my brain causing hormone, sleep, metabolic and adrenal issues. I have dural blebs that are bursting into small cerebral spinal fluid leaks to alleviate the pressure, which then heal and the cycle continues. The only way to fix this is a cervical decompression surgery where the surgeon would remove a piece of the back of my skull. He described this as a rollercoaster, and intracranial pressure tests as taking a picture at different points of the rollercoaster. The test in June was normal which just means they didn’t catch the symptoms in a surge, and he wants to do more pressure tests in the ICU when I return to New York both times prior to each styloid surgery. Further tests will determine approval for cervical decompression.
Each styloid surgery plus the pressure test will take 1-2 days in the ICU and hospital with 1 day resting locally before I’m allowed to go home.
3) Some of my neck damage has healed since my tethered cord release surgery in November 2023, but I still have severe craniocervical instability unusually presenting in severity both vertical and horizontal (most patients have one worse than the other). My head is hypermobile right at the start of my neck making my head lean forward further than it’s supposed to, which means even basic forward-head movements like getting out of bed or getting up from a chair or couch are causing symptoms.
My traction tests in June in New York didn’t show significant enough improvements across enough symptoms for cervical fusion surgery approval. However, these tests were done when I was lying down, briefly sitting up, briefly standing and then lying down again. In real life, I’m moving around inside and outside of the house, bending forward and bending over, so my neck and head is moving around a lot more than it was during hospital tests.
I’ve been assigned to wear a special Aspen CTO vest with a collar connected by an adjustable traction pole, which I’m to wear for 4 hours a day for a month while adjusting it per instructions and logging symptoms as I go. Depending on how this turns out, the surgeon will determine if I’m eligible for a cervical fusion.
The surgeon prefers to do cervical decompressions and cervical fusions in the same incision at the same time, due to poor EDS wound healing and risks of cutting open into a healing area that was already cut into. So outcomes for pressure tests and traction tests are taken into consideration of each other.
The neurosurgeon also found some other issues, like an underdeveloped vein which also impacts poor brain blood oxygen flow, along with the above issues. This also impacts senses, communication, cognition and more.
The urologist on the team found I have overactive muscles, ongoing urinary retention that means I still could have neurogenic bladder, and what appears to be urethra stenosis.
I’m establishing with a local endocrinologist in hopes they’ll be able to address pituitary issues, especially if I’m not approved for decompression surgery yet and medication is the only remedy available to me.
I’ve established with a local therapist in case I have psych issues caused by neuroinflammation from these conditions and/or treating these conditions, who is available for local care stress support as the neuropsychologist can only see me if I’m in New York.
I’ve established with a local urologist who will repeat urodynamics soon and tell me and the New York urologist if he agrees neurogenic bladder is still happening, which among other conditions was caused by my tethered cord syndrome left untreated for 33.5 years, resulting in some permanent damage due to delayed diagnosis and treatment.
Thank you so much for your support, it’s hard to believe after 7-8 years of suspecting and knowing I had all of this and just need capable providers, that care is actually occurring!
I’m applying for financial aid but don’t know if I’ll be eligible or approved, so please keep sharing and donating! Thanks to generosity of loved ones, I have just over half of the donated funds remaining to pay for hospital, specialist, lab, medication, travel, lodging, food, car rental, medical supply bills.
I’m paying everything I can from the little I get from Social Security Disability each month, but given Medicare only covers 80% and these facilities/providers don’t take non-New York Medicaid, what I have left in donations is unfortunately nowhere near enough, especially if I get approved for a cervical decompression and/or cervical fusion and can pursue that in 2025.
Even so, I would not have made it at all if not for the kindness, support and generosity you have shown me. I can’t say this enough, but thank you.

Lol, she thinks she’s suuuuper special and smart, but all she is is an excellent mark for a gang of con men with MD:s. Many such cases, unfortunately.
