If this person genuinely has CRPS 2 (the kind with a known underlying nerve injury), the only way for him to recover is through physical therapy and behavioral therapy. The cause(s) of CRPS isn’t fully known, but it’s agreed that lack of movement and touching of the affected limb is what perpetuates the pain. Short acting opiates before PT may be used for PT to be possible, and amitryptiline (a tricyclic antidepressant) can have some effect, but drugs are not what’s going to help. US doctors seem to shill a lot of poorly studied drugs like ketamine, and sure, I guess that’s like 23 minutes pain free but it’s not gonna do anything in the long run.
It’s a hell of a condition but if the patient has a lot of support and an internal locus of control they get better. Some even get well.
There as an attempt to do all that. But it got so bad that even smallest breeze of air made him scream.
Because he was about 20 years old doctors didn’t believe his pain. Not until the nerve damage had taken his whole body. Before media started advocating for him, he had sat on that chair for two years. If operating doc had admitted he fucked up the original surgery this would’ve never happened.
I do not know Arssi but I have followed his story over 6 years now.
In my country doctors are extremely conservative Wien it comes to patient care. Physical and functional therapy, basic ibuprofen and paracetamol. If things don’t get better they send you to see a shrink. That happened to Arssi too.
Wait, I'm confused, I thought you were saying he has CRPS? Because the word 'regional' is right there in the name. It by definition only 'takes the whole body' when someone is munching and too thick to realise this isn't a thing. We take the piss out of women doing this all the time.
Am I just getting it confused here and you're saying he has a different condition, or..?
I’m not American so I’m really struggling to understand this: but how the hell do these girls manage to get IVIG so easily? Surely, for a resource so rare and vital, there’d be more checks and balances involved? Some neutral overseeing bureaucratic process that looks at these requests and decides “no, you don’t fucking get IVIG for CRPS”?
I get that they shop until they find someone with a degree who co-signs anything they want, but is there really no one with a higher authority than their random Florida doctor? Is the American healthcare system really that doomed?
Even if they’re not faking it, they’re still fucking insane and probably cluster B. If your entire personality is “I’m sick” then you’re probably a vapid insufferable person. Even activists who dedicate a lot of their time to whatever awareness campaign have hobbies and interests outside of their illness.
In fact I think it’s very telling what someone’s intentions are based on the goal of their “activism”: vast majority of awareness campaigns exist for the purpose of getting donations and raising public interest in research and medical funding. Or in the case of blatantly obvious conditions that can’t be hidden, it’s spreading the message that these people exist and they’re just like you and me, and shouldn’t be dehumanized. What the fuck do munchies wish to achieve with their never ending quest to “raise awareness”? They never explain why the public should be aware, only that they need to be… aware.
And when they do have clearer ambitions or goals it’s always demands from the general public to accommodate them. Disney has to let me skip lines because I have POTS. I should be allowed to bring my “service dog” anywhere I want. If you wear a perfume that triggers my MCAS you’re ableist.
Something tells me Dianna will not in fact "get there" and she'll still magically be oh so ill with long covid, ME/CFS and chronic lyme disease, forcing her endlessly patient husband to wait on her hand and foot while she lays in bed with that healthy scalp tweeting all day.
Also, as far as I can tell pistachios are actually pretty high in protein (20%), much more than eggs and some types of beans.
This is Arssi. He broke his leg one winter and doctors fucked up. BIG time. This is the way he has been living for years. Every once in a while he get to be put in medical coma to let him rest.
So, I found some articles about the Finnish guy. Yes, he has CRPS 2, and he is not responding well to treatment. The doctors interviewed about his treatment plan seemed knowledgeable and suggested reasonable courses of action. This young man was/is in deed suffering a lot but what struck me as very worrying was that between the lines you could definitely read that there were secondary gains, such as mom being employed as his carer, from the illness. He also has a YouTube-channel, though not a very active one.
TLDR: I just don’t buy your description of the case.

I know it's hard to believe so I try explain some of it a simple as I can:
Broken ankle- operation done wrong- patient goes follow up and tells something is wrong- doctor says its fine- physical and functional therapy- lyrica etc- pain gets worse- doctor says all is fine. Then finally second operation reveals the truth and it is too late to fix it.
Here doctors really don't think that a 20 year old can have CRPS or anything else that serious. They usually think you are lazy or something. Or looking for opiates.
We have universal healthcare and to keep taxes and costs low doctors often ignore patients symptoms. It is as bad as it sounds.
When family member get sick or is born sick it is a custom here that a family member (usually mother, sister, daughter or wife) becomes the primary caretaker.
And still we are considered the happiest nation in the world.
She's too prolific and independent in her perversions, her kinks are actually quiet feminine if you try to analize it.
I believe she just has one of those brain "bugs" when her neural activity from arousal crosstalks with wrong parts of the brain causing this complex fixation.
The most Andy Dick ever did was grope and shake Pamela Anderson's pomelos on live TV.
Next to bb/dl, using hot sauce as a lube, ripping vagina with cutlery, shitting diapers, and being autopedophiliac nymphomaniac, Andy is absolutely normal person.
I know this is old but I'm catching up and have to say it, you're definitely not up on Andy lore. He literally raped a livestreamer like a year ago lol and has been molesting people for decades. Grabbing a tit is probably the least offensive thing he's done
He's got a book about it. According to this numerous people have offered money to his mother also, and there's speculation of MBP in that thread.
I found an FB post by him but its in Finnish, which I don't speak, and am too retarded to figure out how to translate an image. I hope the translatons for the links above work. According to his FB page: https://www.facebook.com/arssit he lost a beloved pet and his condition was getting worse. No public posts since March.
Definitely feels like a real condition with something fishy on top. Unfortunately I've had no luck finding information about his that isn't just speculation.
I’ll try again: not everyone with an identical injury will end up in his condition. In addition, the YouTube video I saw was of a blubbering young man zonked out of his mind on either opiates, benzos or K. Or all of the above. I won’t link to it because it upset me.
You have bought his (maladaptive) narrative, fine, and I’m sure the surgeries might have been bad, but that doesn’t change my conviction that his issues are compounded by personality factors (among other things). I feel for the guy, his life is destroyed, but the “doctors bad, patient absolutely powerless to do something about it” just doesn’t fly.
ETA @glioblastoma multiforme: oh, he definitely has CRPS, it’s everything around him (and in him, probably) that’s dysfunctional.
Another ETA with a PL: I did a rotation on a pain clinic during residency. Only saw one real case of CRPS, but several that were caught before real issues arose (not by me lol). It was very clear how much premorbid personality factors affected the outcome.

She is very much a munchie in her own right. Someone in the other thread shared a publicly posted comment. She had apparently steamrolled through a local dog rescue group with stories about cancer, etc.
I think she got burned, so she created the personas as a less-risky outlet and to finally use her MFA in fictional writing.
When someone gets diagnosed with a life changing illness, I think it's normal that they might identify with the illness a bit to much at first. (Same with sexual orientation and other "big" things)
It's a whole new life to get used to, you probably loose some friends and hobbies. However usually people get past this and move on. You can always find new friends and hobbies, it just might take a while.
The internet seems to prevent people from taking that step. They find friends in horrible online communities, where they learn that everyone in their real life is super ableist and COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND.
Some of the munchies manipulate the people around them in such obvious ways that you know, the people around them have to be aware of what they're doing (the manipulating, not the munching). But that's probably something they endure. It's kind of a rule of decency, that you let people who are on deaths doorstep get away with a lot of things. I think for actually sick people this is the morally right thing to do, but sadly munchies seem to weaponize this to the extreme.
Isn't this literally the difference between every normal person and these freaks?
...
Anytime anyone makes a big non-stop spectacle out of any illness....they're faking it.
I don't necessarily think so. There are so many people who love nothing more than to overshare about their fucking medical problems unprompted, and if anything I think the majority of them actually do have the medical problem they like to drone on about. Not all of them are milking it on purpose to manipulate people or seek attention either, a lot of the time it's just that the person's life has been so consumed with doctors' appointments and trying to manage it that it feels like they never do anything else, and they just have nothing much else to talk about or forget that most people are not their nurses and do not want or need to hear about it in detail.
Like @Polychromos said this is usually just a stage some people go through while it's still new to them and most will get sick of the topic themselves after a while, and I'll agree with you that the people who never reach this point are pretty likely to be Cluster B trashfires or people who don't want to go back to work, but that's nowhere near universal. For example a lot of old people never shut up about their health issues to anyone who will listen, they don't usually want anything from you, they're just bored, lonely, and want to make conversation but have no other material.
The reason why I put conditions that cause seizures and fainting in their own category is that any condition where an episode actually renders you unaware and/or unresponsive for any amount of time makes people uniquely vulnerable. Nobody is enjoying it if they legitimately lose control in a situation like that. If you experience it alone and surrounded by the wrong people, legitimately bad shit can happen. Fakers of those type of conditions are so much more obvious with their uncanny ability to only ever have medical episodes at a convenient time and place where their enabler is there or they're otherwise sure no harm will come to them, and how they can manage to keep everyone dancing to their tune throughout the whole spectacle.
I found one in the wild! I'm so proud of myself for being so bored at work I actually clicked an email update from Quora and then a link inside.. She's not super prolific, but I think the thread will appreciate her. She comes with the combo platter, a side of Occult Tethered Cord and CSF leak, and a dessert of new quacks, plus some old ones like Dr Klinge.
Just her diet sounds exhausting, a paleo with no dairy, nightshades, citrus, or fun.
She is called Niki Naeve and has her own helper human called Colin. She is in her 50s and based on her own accounts has been munching since at least her 20s. She also failed to make a career in the theatre. As an almost boomer, she does most of her munchie activity in groups on facebook and I have no idea how I'd find more than just her profile on there.
I'll summarise her in her own words: "I'm relatively functional as I am." So, none of this is necessary?
Her first is called One Dream (archive: https://archive.ph/QIPpX) where we learn she is 112% on the Beighton scale and how great her immunologist Dr Melamed is. He sounds great (/sneed), he took 46 tubes of blood over two sessions. These revealed:
– I am now testing positive for Sjogrens (https://www.sjogrens.org/) in addition to my other autoimmune diseases. This is not a surprise – it commonly co-exists with what I already have going on, and I’ve had dry eyes and mouth (and mouth sores) for years.
– As before, I’m positive on the C4A, which other docs interpret solely as evidence of autoimmune connective tissue disease. Dr. Melamed takes a little different view; he believes it is evidence of mold toxicity, which can be from past or present exposure. I doubt it’s my current apartment in dry Colorado, but ordered the mold tests he advised, anyway. For this toxic mold he prescribed a FOUL prescription-strength powder which needs to be mixed with water. (Think chalk in an orange juice base, mixed with a little vanilla.) I took this for 5 days and felt worse each day. I think I’m going to discuss it with the office, and maybe give it another go after cleaning out the basement in the Catskills next month, and when I’m not recovering from a cold. But I’m not sure I will tolerate it. I can hack the taste, but if there’s no up side to dealing with the extra nausea, exhaustion and heart weirdness, then we’ll have to talk.
– Somehow my thyroid got really whacked (another autoimmune disease, Hashimotos, has been relatively controlled for years, but went pear-shaped some time between when I moved in June, and January). I’ve changed my meds and think I’m getting back on track now. The good news – I’ve been able to gain weight for the first time in years! The bad news – I’m exhausted and, oh, man I gained a little more weight than I’d like for my unstable joints to carry around!
She credits this to gaining weight and moans about how people often write people like her off as anorexics. I think she might be telling on herself a bit here.
These are a non-exhaustive list of her claimed issues:
Compressions:
NCS – Renal Nutcracker Syndrome, compression of the renal vein between the abdominal aorta and SMA (auperior mesenteric artery)
MTS – May-Thurner, compression of the left common Iliac vein
MALS – Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome, compression by the median arcuate ligament on the celiac artery (neurogenic and vascular types available)
Eagle Syndrome – Elongation of the styloid process, mine is the jugular variant, causing compression of the internal jugular vein.
Vena Cava – Compression of the vena cava
Supporting cast:
EDS – Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a genetic condition of the collagen, affecting connective tissue. I have the hypermobile type.
POTS – Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome – characterized by fatigue, lightheadedness, low blood pressure and tachycardia on standing.
Nephroptosis – In which your kidneys drop when you’re standing.
MCAS – Mast cell activation Syndrome
Afaik she never did any of this plan cos she got obsessed with tethered cord but here it is anyway:
So, THE PLAN, as it stands, is multiple surgeries/procedures, spaced out by 2-4 months:
1) Celiac plexus block
2) Eagle surgery, plus head stuff.
3) MALS surgery, plus gallbladder ousting (assuming the celiac plexus block is positive) 4) NCS and perhaps MTS.
5) Perhaps pin a kidney or two.
---
More description of her desired procedures (archive: https://archive.ph/Dj7ZO) the link for which reads "adventure awaits" lol. She had one for Eagle's syndrome whatever that is, and it didn't cure her. Sad times. She has been speaking to a doctor with no hospital who is embroiled in litigation, Dr Kurtis Kim sounds amazing. Recommend all your enemies to him!
She has some variants of uncertain significance, because what self-respecting munchie doesn't?
She has a new plan, Its long so I'll spoiler instead of just quoting:
Eagle Syndrome/sinus– Check. Though it ostensibly went well, there’s still a 20% chance we’ll need to decompress the left jugular vein in the future, as well. Most importantly, I’ve regained my ability to swallow and (perhaps more importantly for my ego) sing.
To answer the big question everybody asks, I’m not sure if the surgery benefitted me, overall, or not. Between the inability to swallow and stomach bug caught a month after surgery, I lost 20+ lbs. The weight loss may have exacerbated my NCS (renal nutcracker syndrome,) which makes eating hurt and, in turn, may have exacerbated my PCS (pelvic congestion syndrome) which creates pain in my lower abdomen and pelvis. Fluid dynamics in the body are complicated. It’s also possible I had increased pain because the impacted jugular had been acting as a gate, keeping blood from pooling in my lower body, and now that it’s open, blood may be getting congested, lower down.
I’ve since regained about half the weight, and much of these original issues have calmed down. This may be because my body is apparently pretty good at creating “collateral veins,” which are like smaller, alternate routes to a highway. These pathways are effective, but smaller and far less efficient – it takes more energy to pump blood through them than the main routes. It may also be because I may be one of those lucky people who gain weight just in the right spot – at the fat pad under the SMA angle – which helps support that renal vein and keep as much flow as possible going there (it’s mostly closed, but less closed is better than more).
My headaches have shifted, but not gone away altogether. Breathing through my nose feels like an ocean breeze – free and clear. Until I get a cold or allergies. And on the cold “front,” I got a cold a few weeks back and I believe it was the shortest, most mild cold I’ve had, maybe since childhood! I swear it was over in a week! I’m 50% convinced this has something to do with clearing decades of infection out of my face.
But we’d really hoped clearing that decades-old sinus infection would also calm down my inflamed tonsils. They have improved, but still look angry, and the right one has created a little extra lobe, reaching out to catch whatever I may throw at it. So one of the surgeries I’m currently also considering is tonsillectomy.
MALS (Median Arcuate Ligament) – I’ve chosen a surgeon in Salt Lake City, but am taking a pause. This surgery involves re-secting part of the diaphragm and stripping the celiac plexus back so pain doesn’t return. MALS is probably one of the main drivers of my pain, overall – since 1995 it’s felt like I have a broomstick piercing my torso, front to back, on the right side near the gallbladder. (And while my gallbladder isn’t working, we think at this point it is not creating this pain.)
The surgeon warns that 3-6 months of post-surgical nausea isn’t unusual, and I’m not sure I can stomach that – literally. I dread that spiral of weight loss, which exacerbates everything else. And perhaps more importantly, MALS surgery can exacerbate NCS (the organs invovled are very near to each other) and I don’t yet have a good surgical option for that.
Cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) – Could be done along with MALS surgery, or separately. (My chosen MALS surgeon, Dr. Richards, prefers to do them separately, but others prefer to do them together.) My ejection fraction is like 17% so it’s not working, but may not be causing any issues, either. And I hold hope it could “rebound” with correction of other issues.
NCS (Renal Nutcracker Syndrome) – I’ve been rejected for my top option, AT (auto-transplant of the kidney, where they put your kidney lower down in your abdomen) or nephrectomy, at least by the local option at CU Denver. I was actually getting kind of excited about donating my left kidney….thinking about how much good I could do gave me a certain degree of warm fuzzies. But the transplant team here at UC Health, one of the most experienced in the world for this process for NCSers, felt that because my bladder pain spiked after their diagnostic Marcaine Cystoscopy, I may be one of those people who experiences long-term pain and UTIs from either procedure. Because the ureter gets cut…well, I’m a little unclear but apparently things can happen. And I already have a lot of bladder pain and dysfunction – I don’t want to make it worse.
The Colorado office is currently in collaboration with a team doing similar procedures in Madison, Wisconsin, and data may come out in the future which refutes this string of assumptions. But for now, the “committee” won’t approve me as a living donor because a) I have autoimmune disease, so my kidney is less desirable than most and b) we can’t prove the procedure would benefit me.
Are there other options? Yes, yes there are. LRVT (Left Renal Vein Transposition) has a high failure rate, and many go on to need AT. Internal stents tend to migrate, sometimes puncturing the aorta (not to mention the stents are dicey for those with metal allergies). Two docs in the US use an external stent made of PTFE, which is like Teflon, but one has a terrible habit of ignoring his patients after they present with complications, and the other is accessible but inconvenient – he doesn’t do telehealth outside of Texas. Many patients report nagging back pain after placement of these devices, and there’s no long-term data available on their effectiveness. A hybrid AT, where the kidney is dropped and the ureter not cut, may also be an option. I think there may be 2-3 surgeons in the world who offer this.
Dr. Kurtis Kim, vascular compression expert and advocate extraordinaire, currently has a thing coming out of his brain which may prove another good option – an internal PTFE stent which is stitched in place to prevent migration. Alas, he has been without a medical home for a couple years due to his (as best I understand it,) “spending too much time with his compression patients” and being asked to leave his practice. Litigation is involved, which I’m sure is just so great for his overall mental health and focus. I’ve consulted with him and he’s 100% THE guy, he just needs a few million bucks to get his vascular compressions one-stop shop/practice underway. If you happen to have that sitting around, give me a call – I have his number!
MTS (May-Thurner Syndrome) – Hopefully if I do the previous two surgeries, I won’t need this. It will self-correct. But it still may be a thing. Blood flow in the body is …unpredictable.
Celiac Plexus Block – the Diagnostic one felt SO good, but was only diagnostic and thus only lasted 24 hours. Since I’m putting off MALS surgery for now and I think the celiac plexus is a main generator of pain, I’m lobbying for one with steroids, which may last longer. Alas, EDSers tend to process steroid quickly, so it’s a TBD kind of potential pain therapy. Fingers crossed it could help.
Tonsillectomy – On the table, as my thorat is almost always sore and the tonsils look a chronically a little anrgy and gloopy, and the right one has made a little “annex” tonsil in front of itself.
Left Hip Labral Tear – I’ve been ignoring this for at least a decade, but at some point I’ll probably have to deal.
Tethered cord, chiari – TBD. Working on getting to the super-neurosurgeon in Rhode Island and I’ll see what she says.
CSF (Cerebrospinal Fluid) Leak – I’ll probably get a blood patch at some point, but the idea of needles in my spine isn’t exactly inviting. Before any intervention, I may try a 48 hour horizontal trial to see what happens. Apparently, occasionally that can seal a leak. There’s some inconvenient friction between my ENT (who can order a blood patch pretty quickly, but I hear isn’t completely trusted by the local neurosurgeons) and the UC neurologists, (who have a complex system of tiered docs and there’s a months long waiting list, but I may be able to skip over one tier by getting the correct imaging in front of the next tier, but they may be irritated with me if I work with the ENT at all…it’s, um, complicated.)
A lot of boring shit about getting from the airport. Then onto surgery, for venal access she has a " least favorite spot for an overnight stay.," because obviously that's normal. Literally sounding like a junkie "I’d been looking forward to this moment for weeks. The moment when anesthesia kicks in and there is nothing left for me to do, consciously. " but swap weeks for minutes.
Then on about how special EDSers are in the way the process anaesthesia and how this gave her PTSD. Finally post surgery, and recalling being in hospital aged five when she had a fever so was cold. She ends on "Now it was time for my first night in the hospital since I was five. " which is completely in contradiction to her earlier claim of having a favourite vein for an overnight stay.
Sadly she says what's coming next, but it hasn't come. That was late May so I'm not hopeful.
I found her based on her Quora post about flying back on 3 seats so she could lie horizontally. I'm not at all sure how that works with not wearing seatbelt properly and having your legs in the aisle the whole flight. She piqued my interest because of the mention of tethered cord and POTS.
I did just this in March of 2024, returning home after a back surgery. I purchased 4 seats, three for me so I could lie down and one for my partner, across the aisle.
I’m a member of several online support groups for people with similar medical issues, and had checked there with patients who’d had this surgery. I benefitted from the misfortune of another patient who needed tethered cord release twice, and had used first class the first time and three adjoining seats the second. She said the three seats was much better, since she could get fully horizontal. I also checked the route and didn’t find much in the way of fully reclining seats, if any. OK, plan in place! But I’d never done this before.
When booking online (this was United, on their website), when entering identification information for additional seats, one option was something like “booking for myself.” I was asked why I was booking an empty seat and given a few options regarding what that reason was in some sort of dropdown menu (I think one option was a musical instrument.) I cannot remember exactly what they all were, but I chose the most appropriate, then followed up with a phone call to the airline to make sure I’d done it correctly and assure the seats would stay empty, even if there was an aircraft change.
I took a wheelchair in the outgoing airport and double checked the seating arrangement at every stage of check-in. After TC surgery you’re at high risk for CSF leak, and being horizontal as much as possible helps prevent that. Also any surgery really sets off my POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, which can be very uncomfortable and scary when flying) so I worried. I kept thinking it wouldn’t work.
But when I arrived at the gate, the United agents were clearly already aware of my situation. My partner and I were allowed to board early, and to my surprise, the flight attendants were also aware! They showered me with attention, offering blankets and pillows, (even extra blankets to help even out the seats, but I got lucky and these particular seats didn’t have as much ridge between them as some others) and of course extra snacks because, well, obviously my two imaginary friends wanted quinoa cakes and pretzels, too! :-) It felt much like I was traveling first class. And indeed I’d probably paid about that much.
Honestly, I was moved to tears by the care I was given in this situation. It had been a long journey to that surgery and I’d been worried about how I’d tolerate the flight, but being horizontal was absolute heaven. I even tolerated turbulence better that way.
Also I thought, if only every flight attendant knew how terrible I’ve felt on other flights when I was forced to sit upright with my invisible medical issues! There are truly benefits to medical issues being visible to others.
Why is someone so rich getting benefits?
Not much of her facebook is public, these are screenshots of the only interesting bits I saw.
Helping other munchies get diagnoses, maybe:
Someone in one of her munchie groups drew these:
Pill porn:
Lol:
Nothing to do with munching but this is cute:
This is all I can find on her. I hope the class enjoyed my presentation.
" Occult tethered cord syndrome (OTCS) is an entity that shows tethered cord syndrome (TCS) with normal spinal MRI findings"
oh but of course
And another one faking Sjogrens, what a coincidence. Is there even a blood test that screens specifically Sjogrens? My knowledge is limited to the testimony of a friend with lupus.
This doctor treating her sounds like a scam too but she probably went doctor shopping for a while to find one to affirm her. Doesn't Hashimoto's make a person gain weight easier? how was she unable to gain weight because of it? Hashimoto's is super common too I don't know why anyone would use it to munch online.
-Chronic Lyme
Yup her doctor is scamming her out of money
I don't even think its statistically possible for someone to have all the shit she listed here
As president (and only member) of the Amanda Winig fan club, I would like to welcome you. In the links below you will find my updated love letters to my future wife: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4
I have been painfully, embarrassingly obsessed with this woman for almost a decade and welcome any contributions you can add to my growing collection of artifacts about her life.
My friend is going to write about his experiences with her. The insights you’ve shared about her make so much sense. Additionally, Amanda, whom we’re calling Sméagol, fabricated an elaborate story about being in hospice with terminal cancer.
I’d like a munchie glossary with explanations of what concepts that have an agreed upon definition in the real world translate to in their native tongue, like subluxation and anaphylaxis.
...what? $130 a month is a pittance in this economy, and the question regarding retirement makes perfect sense - should she keep getting her pittance from social security disability or jump the hoops for slightly more from social security for old people.
She's full of shit, literally in one pic, but I have a hate-boner for the state of the American "safety net" (it's got more holes than a cheap hookers stockings)
