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

[Otterly]

but Dysautonomia International has teamed up with Panda Express (sodium central!) to raise money for awareness of the dizzy pligh

This is hilarious. I look forward to Greggs teaming up for Anorexia Awareness Week.

I just kind of love how grift game recognizes grift game. Something about Panda Express capitalizing on their sodium content to "raise awareness" just tickled my late capitalism funny bone.

Man they should have partnered with a French fry shop or a hotdog stand. Or a guess a sushi shop for the health conscious bougie crowd.

You can use the sushi as a vehicle for soy sauce, that'll give you a "semi-healthier" sodium dump../sneed even if you douse it... heck even if you lightly use low sodium sauce as intended.

A gas station or convenience store roller hotdogs... lol those things are sodium bombs.

I can just imagine it now New York Fries advertising a POTSIE Combo. Regular fries with gravy, a hotdog and sodie to wash it down with.
Make it a poutine for extra sodium from those delicious cheese curds!

Grab extra salt and some malt vinegar to top up!

(Shove a packet or two of salt in your pocket for emergency salt dosing!)

Mmmm yum. Now I crave a poutine. Vive la Canada, eh?

I wouldn’t take her word on gifts from strangers. Either some patient left something behind or she bought it herself.

A random woman who happens to lie next to her in hospital has no idea who Paige is, or what she does. It's reasonable to assume that most other patients are probably really nice to the munchie crowd. Especially if it's a older woman and/or mother/grandmother.

Nice maybe, but I doubt they would just randomly buy her a $20 tiktok fad toy.

Living under a rock I had to look up wtf it is and snackles (stupid name) are $10 at Walmart.

There's different sizes. She has a big one.

My first thought was "I don't know what that is but I know one of my nieces is going to want one for christmas."

Why not? They're in a room together all day. Paige constantly looks absolutely miserable. Maybe she told her, how her family abandoned her because of her illness, or something. If the roommate has children/grandchildren/nieces/etc she might know these toys.
I'm not trying to defend Paige. Could totally be a lie, but emotionally manipulating strangers into buying her plastic trash sounds more like her.

It's not just that.
The toy, by the way, costs NZD$60!! in the store not too far from the hospital.
That is expensive. Like, a special present for some kid you love, not for an adult woman! Especially a stranger. Kiwis are friendly, but we don't do shit like that! Maybe if they thought she was retarded and dying but even then it's incredibly suspicious.
I would believe her roommate got her flowers or even a generic soft toy, but not a toy made specifically for children and a very expensive one at that.

Right, well that's insane. I'll drop $10 to a charity, so maybe a charity case, but that's ~$35 USD and nope. Yeah, no stranger gifted her that just out of the blue.

Physics Girl still rotting in bed after two years of grifting and livestreams

She should have married Saint Terry. They were made for eachother.

They appear to be Squishmallows crossed with Mini Brands. I hate modern toy fads so much. Miniature models of products are not toys, they exist to brainwash kids to consoom.

Oh I didn't say I was going to purchase them. I made that mistake when these things called LOL Dolls were all the rage amongst the shillbillies. I had no idea it was gambling for 6 year olds. Most of them got repeats they already had and it was the worst christmas ever because of me.

This year they're all getting some kind of art/STEM project kit and an "IOU one weekend away from your gaggle of siblings where we can do anything you want" coupon.

(I also started writing Thread Christmas this weekend so I'm not drowning like last year, lol)

I've been tracking some up-and-coming reddit munchies. Users I've noticed posting the same crap in as many subs as possible, undeterred by their posts being deleted, and absolutely unwilling to accept reality. Enjoy!

u/New-Living-3311: MCAS/POTS/EDS, claimed some weird waking-coma type experience, doctor finally told them they know it's Munchausens lol

u/AntelopeEmergency608: on TPN and has a GJ tube (also still eats by mouth), wants to go to school for nursing, goes to Queens College in NY studying psych (?? this was kind of vague of they were in school already or not), constantly needs to post about being on TPN and their toob

u/PhrygianSounds: claims adrenal insufficiency that somehow isn't under control despite 12 mg of pred daily (no labs posted), also gastroparesis, constantly posting vague symptoms to every rare disease subreddit possible

u/Tamm_Fatale: thinks they have adrenal insufficiency but won't get labs done to get it diagnosed, chimped out when the adrenal insufficiency sub banned them for constantly posting their vague symptoms and begging people to diagnose them

u/quarterlifecris: thinks they have Chiari (despite multiple doctors reading the MRI and telling them they don't), convinced they have a CSF leak, diagnosed with POTS at Brigham in Boston

And a treat... this MCAS warrior is told to use four epipens if needed. Where the fuck do they find these doctors?

AI is becoming a real munchie honeypot and I have no fucking idea why. All it scores you is steroids and the terrible side effects thereof. At least the MCAS girls can leverage it to get out of anything they don't want to do by claiming allergies.

Kind of you to assume this doctor is real.

The case of Amanda Baggs the munchie Californian girl who took a bunch of psychedelics and lost her mind then drove herself into a very premature grave with her malingering still is one of the most fascinating things I've read about on this website.

 

[Trifecta]

Speaking of steroids, whenever I see Mairead (chroniczebra) post now, I feel like I'm channeling Kate Farms Shill asking "is it worth it, Mairead?"

For context, before the unnecessary steroids she looked like this:

Oh, also, Allyson got bored and is busy working on a return to an inpatient treatment program and advertising her "anorexia relapse".

Jesus. How many ways can she write "I refuse to listen" on one tag.
