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

What do you guys think these munchie gods like Trevino and Afrin are thinking, what are they getting out of this?

What do you think they're getting out of this?
Just look at the dirty ol' bugger...

Do you guys have a different word for the everyday visiting of people and places?

no, she's an idiot.

That's one good way to induce low potassium and give yourself horrible muscle cramps (and die of cardiac arrest). Another is to take enormous doses of steroids. And from what i'm reading prolonged hypokalemia could also make her lactate spike. Neat!

I think this was mentioned before but taking a bunch of ß-agonists (like albuterol/salbuterol) will raise your lactate and (temporarily) drop your potassium, as well as making you tachycardiac and tremulous.

I can't believe she's been trying to chase porphyria she has been chasing it Germany too, blaming multiple negative tests on the samples being mishandled. Just put your piss in the sun, girl. Again.

I'm excited for everyone to see how much more stupid this gets once she starts doing pay to play in Germany.

In psychiatry when someone doesn’t meet the criteria for the easily diagnosed conditions despite obviously being insane, well, then it’s time to bring up the personality disorders.

Reading about less cool Kate I really wish somatic docs had more of an understanding of this framework so they could cut it with all this
”defensive medicine” bullshit. There should be a spiel taught in med school that goes something like: ”Hey. We did all the reasonable tests, your symptoms can easily be explained by deconditioning, side effects from meds and ruminations about health, so fuck off to psych. And take your parents with you.”

So, less cool Kate, you say ”I MUST HAVE A DIAGNOSIS!” Well, good news, there’s a whole cluster that you meet the criteria for!

"You only use the word visit in relation to a patient." What? Do you guys have a different word for the everyday visiting of people and places? Is it like how Brits say "holiday" to mean "vacation" when Americans would only ever use that word to mean a specific calendar day of festivity?

Lolnope. Unless some Marchioness somewhere does that and the family have adopted it in their desperate Hyacinth Bucket Royal Family LARP, it's where they got the "tummy" thing from.

The only thing I see here that we didn't see in her hospital haul is lyrica, which I'm imagining is what she's calling an anticonvulsant but is more often used for nerve pain and anxiety.

Lyrica/Pregablin is handed out like sweets over here. Due to "muh opioid crisis" (read: people who the NHS isn't treating properly getting hooked on codeine because they have to go to work and earn money) it's really difficult to get an opioid/opiate prescription here but they'll give anyone who looks a bit peaky all the gabanergics they want if it makes them go away. That's despite the fact that Pregablin is almost as addictive as codeine and can get you WAY more fucked up, especially if you mix it with weed (which everyone here is also taking because again the NHS doesn't believe in pain relief or treating chronic conditions).

It's infuriating that people can't get diagnosis or treatment for chronic conditions here and get accused of being munchies (a relative was diagnosed with Munchausen's by a GP who wasn't qualified because there was no obvious cause for her headaches, and eventually she had a stroke and had to have emergency surgery on the fucking bone spur in her brain but still couldn't get post-surgical painkillers because Munchausen's was STILL on her record even after her real condition nearly killed her), but shameless fakers like Kate with pushy parents can monopolise the very rare good doctors and precious clinic slots. It's getting to the point that people with genuine conditions are being advised to fake symptoms so that they get in front of the right specialist faster, and you can imagine how the munchies will respond to the competition until every GP's waiting room is filled with people rolling around on the floor with their eyes rolled into the back of their head screaming in tongues*, each trying to be louder than everyone else so they actually get seen.

*This does actually happen in some of the grimmer parts of London but that's because everyone there thinks that wypipo possessed dem with da voodoo

If this was one of our Americans I'd say it was the standard quack who sees dollar signs but that doesn't really fly with the NHS. We know Maverick is practicing at an NHS hospital and she's not in the ritzy private ward there because she mentioned not being in it more than once, so that rules out that her parents are shoveling money at doctors to hear what they want. Spoiler: I never figured out who Maverick is, sorry.

Almost all NHS consultants will moonlight in private practice, often with the exact same patients. It's plausible that she's seeing Mav in his private outpatient clinic while he uses his immense power in the hospital (NHS consultants are basically Gods in their hospitals, even if they routinely kill their patients) to get her referrals to other specialisms, NHS or private.

we learn that Tilly's family are indeed obsessed with the royals

I fucking knew it. I know a Suburban Duchess when I see one.

we already established that her dramatic "diagnosis" of Addison's disease was because her mom lied to the paramedics to get her dosed with steroids

I'm calling it now. This is MBP. Kate is so dim and coddled (we've already noted that her mum talks to her like a toddler) that she willingly plays into it, but mum is and always has been the driving force behind this. The Oxbridge obsession, then consumption tuberculosis, now porphyria, her mum thinks she's fucking Queen Victoria, and you can't be Queen Victoria without having the tragic sickly children (who were largely sick because the faulty drains at the then-new Buckingham Palace gave everyone Cholera). I'd be very interested to see video of her mum, because I reckon she's probably hilarious, speaking and acting at all times the way she thinks Royals act because she can't cope with the idea that her family's money comes from owning Aylesbury's most successful Volvo dealership.

You got wasted, slept in your makeup, and woke up bloated because your kidneys were on the graveyard shift processing

Hey now that's a new one for me: using a hangover to munch. Points for originally, Tillykum

This picture makes my skin crawl. Enmeshment illustrated.

the amount of medical history that can be summed up with the sentence "everyone was drinking poo" is astounding.

 

[fagnarok]

"Porphyria" is also the disease Morgan Ingraham supposedly suffered.

True crime bitches will recognize her name from an infamous case of overbearing parental enmeshment resulting in total insanity and ultimately the least mysterious of all locked-room "mysteries" -- aka an obvious suicide that the hypochondriac, paranoid mother still insists was murder.

 

[Jimmy Dean Bowl]

I'm enjoying Tilly/Worse Kate immensely. That video, oh my. Reminiscent of my pfp girl. I really hope we get to see more of those.

The medical history part was very interesting. I've said this before but I always enjoy the little detours into medical history that educate us. The specialist subject tism is appreciated.

Tilly/Kate the Lesser’s boyfriend kinda looks like the dying boy from that sick people porn movie, the Fault in Our Stars or whatever.

 

[fagnarok]

You saw it too?! I have been mentally calling him Idiot Ansel Elgort for this exact reason.

Something suggests this is not a coincidence, as in, she may have actual-facts subconsciously chosen him because of this resemblance. If she ever came right out and said it was on purpose, that would be <chef's kiss>, but is probably too much insight for dimbulb Tilly.

Also, no, I don't know why this comment formatted itself like this and can't figure out how to fix it. : |

So are you saying hemophilia was... Victoria's Secret?


I'll see myself out.

Have we ever seen a munchie claim porphyria before? This is super exciting. Is she claiming acute intermittent porphyria or one of the other kinds? I’m kind of surprised no one has tried to claim porpyhia cutania tarda, the true “vampire disease” where sunglight burns your skin. Although, isn‘t it relatively easy to prove/disprove, as a genetic disease? Generally porphyria is a problem if someone has an attack and hasn’t been diagnosed, since a lot of the symptoms could be other things and it’s relatively rare. But once identified, it is generally easily managed, especially these days.

Lol, Rose’s retarded husband posted on Reddit using her account.


Also, even redditors are skeptical of her death:


Anyway, we’re close to a thousand pages of munchie fun, frens!

 

[anliteralidiot]

Rose is waiting for that sweet 1000 page mark to come back, I can feel it.

 

[Breadbear]

You know your bullshit's transparent when even Reddit can see through it

 

[Flourishing Pinecone ❧]

Happy Munchie Millennial! Here's to 1000 more pages of nonsense.

Do you think that’s a typo or do you think he doesn’t know the difference between a 3.08 and a 3.8 gpa? I mean, I know the guy’s not playing with a full deck of cards, and he’s got a lot on his mind what with trying to pretend his “wife” is dead on the internet, so I imagine it could go either way. Good for him if he’s going to school though.

I think he doesn't realise.
Also there are some weird variations in the way some of those posts are written. Usually he writes pretty normally, the occasional spelling error but nothing that makes him look like an outright dunce. But then some of the comments will have very obvious spelling errors and the tone is odd, like it's written by someone trying to seem more stupid? Maybe I'm reading into it too much.

Have you guys ever heard of getting "Floxed" ? My fyp just recommended me this munchie who's been on "hospice" for the last 4 years because taking 3 pills of ciprofloxacin turned her anorexic/invalid. The more I lurk, the funnier this shit is. Lots of interviews, doctor hate, and ugly crying selfie videos.

What's the best way to archive & post instagram videos?
