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

I'm not sure what the criteria for youth allowance is, I'm only familiar with DSPs. Is it less stringent?

Under 25 and in work, education or training. Subject to a parental income test if you are under 22 and don't have special circumstances to qualify you as independent.

She was being paid at the independent rate, but that's only $437.50 per fortnight so fuck knows how she managed to lease a $1600 per week property (and the ambulance bill shows she was living in Darlinghurst).
 
Autumn has basically said "I was faking, but not really, sort of" about her DID and dropped it, but don't worry, we have a new DID faker on the scene:


Somehow she ended up married despite being clearly batshit.

If her alter is American, why is the accent horrible? Surely if she had a personality who was American they'd have a genuine accent, not the accent of an English person putting on an American accent. Has she ever addressed that and given an excuse for it?
 
Triage is awesome, it weeds out the idiots that think a sprained ankle is an emergency.

The pregnancy test is just the reason that the munchies are able to get their dramatic IV on bed photos. I guess the UK is different, but in the states, you don't get an IV until you have a bed in the ER. So basically these asshats spend hours in a waiting room because they aren't actively dying, when they finally get a bed, they will get an IV for bloodwork and saline, after an hour or so pee in a cup, then said cup goes to the lab, eventually lab work comes back, and because nothing is actually wrong the munchie will chill in said bed taking selfies with a janitor or billing person that wears scrubs until there is time for someone to do the discharge paperwork (holly run-on sentence batman). Asshat munchies are just abusing this healthcare system quirk for there own dramatic benefit.

The US has a fucked up medical system (a ton of people use the ER for all medical care), and not getting sued is high priority (hence the pregnancy test obsession). I'm not fighting the spoonies don't belong in the ER statement, hell most people don't belong in the ER, that's why Urgent Care and same day appointments exist. Also not fighting that EDS peeps shouldn't go the ER....which is beyond correct as most doctors haven't even heard of EDS. Plus youtube can show you how to pop almost any joint back into place (most "fixes" for EDS are self care shit anyway). I'm perfectly fine not waisting the ER's time when I'm passing a kidney stone (not an EDS thing I know), but when I have a reaction to a new med and vomit bile for hours on end (given my nausea meds at home aren't helping and it isn't just the normal level of vomiting with a new med), the ER is the only place that does IV fluids (fuck you pointless Urgent Care).

Sorry about getting defensive, I know I'm just digging my own grave here, but I'm in a shitty mood so I'm doing it anyway. Also, call me a unicorn/snowflake if you must, but I'm not a "spoonie"....I get shit done like a normal person (just with drugs if needed), and cuss/cry alone in a dark room on my own time...just like my stoic catholic upbringing taught me, don't make your shit other peoples shit.

So, besides shooting my self in the foot today, I am going to assume some of you might be nurses, so Happy Belated Nurses Week! Thanks for being smart as fuck people that get shit done and help people whether they are a munchie, snowflake, or regular old stabbing victim (my local ER gets a ton of stabbing victims...my town is ghetto).

Well done for correctly identifying yourself. Also, please take your medical whining back to Instagram where it belongs.

Tell us more about how you're better than them and definitely not a spoonie.

No idea, I honestly just discovered her while looking at Autumn's videos. Her entire channel is centered around going on adventures as her specific personalities and talking about it, so I'm sure there's something in there she's mentioned. I haven't had a chance to watch most of her videos because I usually find vlogs boring af, so other than her completely making up her illness I'm not sure if she's funny or not to warrant watching.

What I wanna know is if the husband actually believes her or if he's just going along with it because she's cute and he gets to smash it.
 
ER's are not the doctors office. I wish more people would understand this. People like Amberlynn Reid and co do this, they run to the ER for the littlest thing like indigestion. Chronic fakers do too and can't wait to pull their phones out for a nice photo of their IV or hospital bed if they make it to being admitted. Those pics are uploaded to their social media so fast so they can get the high off the pity they illicit.
 
Sorry, I forgot the appropriate self reference on this site is to cutting or eating disorders, my bad.

Apparently you can't differentiate me telling you how a ER/ED works in the US, from me telling a story in first person (reading comprehension is rather hard). The only reason I added some personal anecdotes was because you made assumptions about me and rather then pay attention to my snark you attacked me like a total cunt (wasn't trying to be thirsty in all seriousness). Sorry I'm not willing to do the normal, my "friend" has so and so shit.

Also, you might want to research the concept of sarcasm and self deprecation. Also add civility and maybe confirmation bias.

To bad, I was really looking forward to hacking on online crazies, but you are all too far up your own "recovered ana/lolcow approved anecdote" asses to make room for a newbie (gentle prodding would have been appreciated as a newbie, you didn't need to go straight to fucking).

I guess I'll go back to lurking, crappy netflix shows, and eating ice cream with one of my literal spoons (because you all seem so focused on my eating utensils I thought this piece of information might make you feel justified in your superiority somehow)...I'll probably avoid making an instagram account, I'd rather not be associated with people like the Fit Vegan Ginger beyond living on the same fucking planet (but don't let me stop you from enjoying sharing your highly filtered photos with random strangers).

Hopefully this post is along the same lines of civility I've been shown thus far...if I'm going out, I'm going out bitchy.

People aren't shitting on you cause you're a newbie, people are shitting on you because you're treating this thread like your personal blog. We're here to discuss content, not ourselves.

I knew a woman and her partner through a hobby group - both Spoonies, both nebulously disabled, both using canes and rollators to get around despite being in their mid-twenties - who went to the ER so often they had both uploaded a special little custom emote that they posted to all their 'going to urgent care!' status messages. It was a cute little animated ambulance with a flashing light and you could count on seeing the thing pop up on one post or another at least once a month. Usually because one of them had run out of medication and was 'in so much pain they were crying', or because the less stable of the two was liveblogging her latest 'mental breakdown'. They started taking kindles and 3DSes with them every time they went, and would message one another back and forth to make sure they had all their props before they left the house, or ask the other one to bring them along.

Once ensconced in the ER, after bragging about their IV, one or the other of them (and sometimes both at once) would invariably complain about wait times and the staff treating them like the frequent flyers they were, and about how annoyed they were that their DS batteries going to last them until they were seen. They frequently displayed absolutely no understanding at all about the fact they weren't the only people in the place and a #1 priority, still less that people in genuine crisis don't usually think to bring all their expensive toys with them first. Did I mention they were also chronic e-beggars who took two years to pay back, in grudging installments, a friend who'd loaned them money for 'medication' before she knew what grifters they were? Oh, and one of them was totally trans, and had a bright red face, danger hair and a bum-fluff beard.

I don't talk to either of them any more.

Oddly enough, despite how readily available Urgent Cares are and other walk-in clinics, some of them in my area didn't accept non-insured patients. This was a good ten years ago, of course, and they would often send people to the ER instead if they didn't think the person could pay immediately. I think this is partially where some of the older ones got the idea to just go to the ER all the time, depending on how their clinics were in the area. They just never stopped after. I can't even begin to comprehend what their medical bills look like. An ambulance ride alone can be up to $700.

I bet most of em let the bills go to collection I highly doubt they pay any of those bills once they come in. Sucks and it's sad because honest people always get fucked because of those deadbeats.

You should definitely go back to lurking.

most of them can't pay. there's no safety net for too many people. they have to pay upfront everywhere but the ER, so that's the only place they can really go. Obamacare helped some with that. they can go to regular doctor or urgent care now and the expanded Medicaid covers it

spoonies just LOVE the ER though. they seem like they're getting high off of just being there. it's really repulsive.

oh and
whatever you said about nurses


man if there actually are any nurses in here I want to say thank you for being the front line against both these munchie dolts and also for doing all the scut work so I don't have to. nurses are either fucking amazing, or psychotic freaks, but either way, thanks to them.

Bye! Come back any time! :D
 
Holy fuck this mother is making me mad. I'm most of the way through the article and every single time they ask this madwoman if she was deliberately making her daughter sick - by, amongst other things, bleeding her through a central line and administering actual pathogens to her in a nebuliser - she claims that she doesn't remember doing that. Bitch, someone did. Someone did all those things to that poor little girl and then some - someone told her she was so ill she was dying - and it probably wasn't magical illness fairies who just happened to waft into her daughter's room and do all this shit Mommie Dearest was already doing to her, only more so.
Also in question are Hope’s claimed memory problems brought on by diabetic comas that started right before her arrest and have continued in prison. Prison officials would not confirm Hope’s medical issues, citing confidentiality laws.
“… When sugar crashes like that, it does some pretty bad things to your brain, and unfortunately, that’s what I’ve got now and that’s for real,” Hope said.
Putscher said she believes that her daughter is a brittle diabetic, but she has stopped sending Hope money in prison because she believes her daughter is creating these diabetic episodes by binging on junk food bought from the prison vending machines.
[Tarrant County investigator] Weber calls it a “very convenient excuse not to remember something she doesn’t want to remember.”
You don't fucking say.

This woman, who now tearfully claims that 'I still feel like I’m a monster because of what I did', as if defying anybody to agree (can't you see how bad this is making her feel!?) was claiming she was dying of her third relapse of Ewing's sarcoma before anyone caught on. She faked seizures. Faked a diabetic coma, faked hearing difficulties after her 'cancer' spread to her brain so severe she was given a cochlear implant, faked a five-month miscarriage - of twins. And she begged for pitybucks, from family and from friends and from charities and the Make-A-Wish foundation, and she got them, and she hoovered them up and went cap in hand for more.

I suppose it's no wonder it's the biggest, noisiest fakers who get all the attention - because sick people are far too busy being sick to want it.

Thanks for the information. I know Centrelink doesn't make a habit of spying on people, it's just wishful thinking. People like her make it harder for legitimately needy people to get their DSPs in the first place.

I'm not sure what the criteria for youth allowance is, I'm only familiar with DSPs. Is it less stringent?

Lemme put it this way:
Cairns spearfisherman Glenn Dickson had his leg amputated in February after he was bitten by a bull shark near Hinchinbrook Island, but was knocked back from receiving disability support because his impairment was not deemed severe enough.

"The shark hit my leg like a chainsaw," Mr Dickson said.

e has spent the last three months recovering and applied to Centrelink for the disability support pension (DSP).

Mr Dickson said he could not currently work in his occupation as a boilermaker and his family was experiencing financial uncertainty as they approached the birth of their third child.

"It's a lot harder for my partner. She now has to look after me," Mr Dickson said.

Mr Jongen said eligibility for the DSP was "not based on the diagnosis of a condition or amputation alone" and medical conditions must be "fully diagnosed, treated and stabilised" before the department's health professionals can make an assessment...

....He added that a person needed to prove that treatment would not result in significant functional improvement within two years.

"For people who have had an amputation, it is reasonable to expect that having a prosthesis fitted and participating in rehabilitation will result in significant functional improvements in the next two years, and those improvements will allow them to undertake some kind of work," he said.

A Centrelink letter sent to Mr Dickson last month said he was deemed ineligible for the pension because he did not have "an impairment rating of 20 points or more".

"In making this decision we took into account all available medical evidence and other relevant information about your circumstances," the letter stated...

...
Mr Dickson said he was only looking for welfare support while he recuperated.

"We're not looking to get a disability pension for when I'm able to work again. We're just looking for help whilst I'm trying to get there," he said.
Sorry for once again power leveling, but I applied (after a hell of a lot of pressure from my family to do so) for disability nearly six months ago. I'm on such a complicated cocktail of drugs that no one with half a brain is going to let me on their work site on the not unreasonable grounds that at some point I run the risk of suddenly having a severe drug reaction onsite, at best fucking up their workplace insurance up spectacularly, at worst (as I've spent most of my working life on high risk sites) getting a number of other people killed. I was rejected because the medication that keeps me barely stable makes me stable enough to work.
It's this giant ouroboros conceived by psychopathic fucktard parasitic cunts who have led a cosy life full of fluffy bunnies, and are convinced that losing a fucking leg, with all the healing, fitting of prosthetics, intensive physical therapy, and retraining for another career doesn't count as a disability. Fucking cunts. And then you have the malingering cunts who are used as an excuse by the Centrelink cunts to slowly but surely turn the Australian welfare system into an American nightmare with an insane amount of crime committed by people who've no choice but to break the law because they're below the fucking poverty line.
