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

[mooserangerofthenorth]

Morgan is probably trying to imply she has Ceberal Spinal Fluid in her knees.
That is impossible without self inflicting.
CSF is the fluid that lines your brain and spine, it's the protective cushion. It does not go to the knees. Shunts filter into the abdominal cavity (some of them) and the body absorbs it.

 

[StasisOne]

She says on Facebook that it is pouring out of her nose.... She should hopefully know what edema actually is, but her followers don't, so implying that it's CSF makes for more dramatic sympathy.

Enjoy this totally exceptional dance about her serious pain disorder.

I would if I could but it's already gone. Guess she's already lurking
Shit man, it's not even been a week and this isn't even a dedicated thread. Maybe she's a farmer? Or maybe she lurks threads that talk about munchies. People with these kinds of issues do tend to be extremely vicious towards others with the same issues

Wow that was quick. TBH you should probably be glad you didn’t see that YT video. I don’t know diddly squat about ballet or dance but I’d expect a better dance in a 5 years olds recital. It was cringeworthy... but hard to look away.
I would guess she’s been lurking or googling her own name to see where it leads her. Munchies love the attention no matter how they are getting it. Quite possible she is already reading about other people mentioned here since it seems like she would love to be on the same level as them.

Speaking of good ole Cassie, looks like it’s already time to visit the ER again. That was quick... she was only there like last week.

I never knew blankets could be used in place of a neckbrace.
She actually tags #fallrisk on Instagram

And since work is extra slow today... here is some of her best work.

I don't have much experience with neck dislocation but shouldn't you be keeping your neck in the brace even if it stops hurting for a while or keeping the brace off when the doctor's tell you to so it heals properly?
Like I'm assuming it's not a "based on feeling" sort of thing if it was properly dislocated just a day or so before. Google isn't giving me much in the way of results except what seems to be serious cases of dislocation where you might need surgery and pins or a rigid neck brace for at least 8 weeks. Nothing about cases minor enough that one might even think about taking it off within 6 weeks of getting it

Someone linked this great Belle Gibson video earlier in the thread, but it wasn't available in the US so here is another version of the video.

tl;dr for those not going back in the thread, Belle Gibson faked that she was dying and promoted natural remedies to make money, reporter absolutely destroys her

Holy shit, this bitch is crazy. Bat. Shit. Crazy.

Holy shit. I looked up her wikipedia page to see what her story is and apparently she blamed the lying on "her neglectful mother" and that she had to raise her allegedly autistic brother and herself alone since the age of 5.
The mother and her brother refuted these claims, the brother especially that he was autistic.
Considering her perchance to DFE, she'd be one hell of a lolcow.

r/illnessfakers subreddit has blown up. one of the discord mods for the sub had their icon as this apparently and some shit went down

the sub was set to private and i assume the discord channels were set to private. tensions were already high because mods basically told users to stop fucking blogging and to take their savior complexes somewhere else and users were freaking out. a lot of them were assuming that because snark was allowed again that illnessfakers would turn into kiwifarms or lolcow.

supposedly millie_mils would step forward and explain what up but there is a private sub and discord instead.

Spoiler: my personal take

not even that big of a deal. maybe ive been on the farms and 4chan enough that its not all that shocking. but that sub catered to spoonies and some of them turned into subject themselves in which they would conveniently denounce the sub soon after. users wanted a gender friendly, ableist free no snark asspattery but forgot or didnt know that it originated from lolcow because admin didnt want to put up this the exact shit that brought down the sub

 

[Lysenko]

@Cheeseman I thought something must have gone down as I opened illness fakers to the "this page is private" window
the original creator kittenbread was kicked from mod (although kitten was also an annoying pronoun enforcer)
LOL it's dumb they deleted everything that was criticizing the mod because that makes it look like the enforcers are criticism proof

I thought it was closed over a munchie getting angry over the sub, not some petty internal business LOL illnessfakers is really being shit

 

[Cheeseman]

@Lysenko tbh i thought the same thing. last i remember was that girl amanda's private ig story of smoking weed like a 12 yr old and the mod post about the blogging issue so i wasnt sure. supposedly people from a private discord server that branched of from the IF are saying they are trying to get a hold of the subs mods but no one is responding.

this doesnt surprise me in the slightest. its like how threads here will attract people who are in the topic community and want to talk shit but be left along themselves, the sub was too young and the people in charge too ill equipped to handle keeping a lot of people in line.

the one thing i gathered rather quickly about internet spoonies is that they love talking about themselves and gatekeeping beliefs. no different than a bunch of the cows here. but if you have a sub monitored by cows themselves, its not going to be a good time.

A screenshot that survived the sub nuke. What I would have given to be a fly on the wall when this all went down.

 

[lariumdreams]

I'm so pissed. I wish I could have been monitoring the sub more closely when it imploded.

Anyone else have screenshot? The mods were largely self-important cows themselves and weren't really equipped for modding.

What was the sub that "made fun of transgender people" happen to be the Null fangirls at r/gendercritical?
ROFL this is hilarious this is the way illnessfakers went down

Morgan is at Duke, getting random tests. She does a great job at looking pathetic. This was post lumbar puncture, which was possibly under sedation .

 

[T.J. O'Pootertoot]

A video made after Morgan had "an episode" during which her face turned really red and she started sweating then had a "blood sugar crash." She is so drugged out of her mind she can barely string a coherent sentence together, and she and her mom are coaching each other through the whole video. Also, she's looking super puffy, which is a warning sign of opioid abuse.

[UT 514]

I don't understand who is prescribing her meds. Isn't she in the statewide database that says past doctors have flagged her?

 

[Tiny Clanger]

Why would they need to do all the aggro of a lumbar puncture when she allegedly has so much CSF it's pouring out of her nose? Just stick a bucket under her hooter, job dun.

And why would she need sedation? And how is this sooooper-speshul? It makes a nice "poor me" photo, but any common-or-garden pleb that has an LP lies flat on their back for awhile afterwards. And goes to sleep cos there's fuck all else to do.

Next in the Morgan 24hr Sooper Serial Helf News, our snowflake finds a pimple on her nose. What does it mean? Is it CANCER!!!!!! HELP REEEEEE 911 AAAAARGHHH AAAARGH WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!!!

 

[StasisOne]

When she was in the midst of her psychosis her mother posted about demanding it sedated, so I assume that they did so again. Her MRI was under sedation as well, but don't think they were both on the same day. Her mother has posted of being dissapointed that nothing was found on the MRI. Surprise surprise!

Her mother would react to Morgan getting cancer or some other legit serious Dx like most moms would react to their child graduating from Harvard Med. Morgan keeps disappointing her by being perfectly healthy.

I do wonder the money for these tests is coming from because NY Medicaid sure as shit won’t cover it.

Morgan and her mom are an absolutely fascinating psychological study. They could get lots of that sweet medical attention if they’d submit to being studied by mental health pros. I know munchies and MBP are pretty common but a mother and daughter pair, both totally invested in Morgan being sick, has to be pretty rare.

I’d like to know the genesis of the delusion. If both were on board from day one or if the mother’s MBP created Morgan, or Morgan being a munchie spawned her mother’s MBP.

I hope one day a good non-fiction book is written about this phenomenon of munchausen by internet and includes various case studies.
