I think she's mentioned it at least once, but I don't recall a number, nor do I remember where she said it.

Doesn't it have to be at least two? One where she and her brother were together, then she moves on to another while he stays behind....

We know there are at least two. The one with the mother who she says paid for her to do weight watchers (the 2nd to last time she did it??) when they reconnected online, and the one with the mother who supposively pushed her down the stairs.

Amber addresses a lot of this in an old ass video. With a bonus poem!
She doesn't specify how many, exactly but she and her brother were "thrown around into different foster homes... and soon [they] got separated." When she was 12, she lived in a trailer with her meth-dealing parents for a six month trial period that lasted two years. That's when she really started smoking weed, skipping school, eating and eating and eating.
Then, she was taken and put into a children's shelter for a few months and later moved in with a friend and her family, but the friendship soured. At 18, she moved out to Oklahoma, where Tammy, her grandma and her mom lived. When visiting Kasey in Arizona, her grandma kicked her out and told her not to come back.
And thus began the saga of leeching off girlfriend after girlfriend.

i watched AL's "doctors appointment | diagnosed" video today and came away with a few thoughts. where else could i possibly share them but here?
this wasn't a full physical by any means, as everyone on kiwifarms well knows. she went in for her laygg so that's what the doctor focused on. still, for any kind of dr.'s appointment they will take your vitals, hence why she was diagnosed with "slightly elevated blood pressure" (way to downplay). they also presumably weighed her, but she didn't mention that at all. which means one of two things: either the number on the scale horrified her or the doctor's scale didn't actually go past 500lbs.
a full physical would involved a blood draw and lab work, which would reveal her A1C, cholesterol levels, liver function, kidney function, and more. either the doctor is an idiot who didn't insist on blood work, or AL flatly refused it (my guess is the latter). anything she can do to stay in denial a little longer, rite?
my own speculation is that bloodwork would reveal high cholesterol, fatty liver disease, hypothyroid/hashimotos, and insulin resistance along with early stage diabetes. the reason i think her diabetes is in the early stages is because she keeps gaining weight; once your blood sugars get high enough, weight starts to drop off you. AL is so stupid, though, that she'd probably take sudden weight loss as a great thing, rather than the health alarm bell it really is.

Don’t you realize she’ll die if she doesn’t have four Reece’s big cups, ramen and hot chocolate before bedtime? That’s her lifeblood right there.

A YouTuber Shivvypop says the crease in her earlobes could be linked to a type of heart disease.

I asked my doctor about that, actually.
He took a deep breath, rolled his eyes, and patiently explained through gritted teeth that it's really not a reliable indicator of having anything but wrinkly earlobes.
I take it he'd heard of it before. Once or twice.

Every small thing can be linked to diabetes or heart disease, but let's just look at her biggest indicator of it: She is 600 lbs.

The earlobe thing is legit, numerous studies have supported it. I liked this article
It's moot of course, because ALR has so many apparent risk factors. An earlobe crease would only be significant in a person who doesn't have the more apparent risk factors like obesity.

Unless the dr is a cardiologist I don't know why they would care a whole lot about it as a sign of disease, they would refer out people with signs of heart trouble.

For me it's a fairly open and shut case that Amber has a personality disorder, namely histrionic. A main feature of PDs is that that the person views their beliefs and behaviors as completely normal (ego-syntonic). It's not that it's impossible to treat, but it's difficult to get them to pursue - let alone stay in - treatment because they don't perceive that anything is wrong with them. That's our gorl in a nutshell. She's only interested in therapy insofar as she can mention it, pretend she's seeking treatment and garner views and attention. She sees the world from the lens of what she can use to manipulate others and receive what she wants. I don't believe she has ever considered therapy seriously for a second, she has no value for it. It kind of blows your mind if you really imagine how the mind of someone like that works.
PDs aren't innate. They're developmental and childhood trauma dramatically increases the odds of developing one. The human mind is naturally prone to getting locked in confirmation bias and idiosyncratic patterns of thinking. You could say it's a built-in flaw in the system, offset by good parenting and socialization. When an otherwise completely normal child is repeatedly exposed to an abnormal environment, they form unhealthy patterns and beliefs about the world. The end result is someone who deviates greatly from the norm in terms of their subjective experience and interpretation of reality. When it's serious enough it receives the label 'disorder' but the cut off point for that is fairly abritary. It's reality it's more like a chaotic spectrum, and the PD definitions are loosely trying to categorize it.
Thought I'd sum that up in case someone felt the term personality disorder was confusing.

I’m coming here to sperg cuz I’m sick of her bitching about leg pain. No shit your legs hurt. You have no more cartilage in your joints. I’ve witnessed this in person, her bones are grinding on each other in her knees and hips. There is no more padding to stop this and once it’s at that level only hip and knee replacements can help. And knee replacements are much more painful and invasive then hip. A huge part of the recovery is GETTING UP AND MOVING, the same day you have surgery. Doctors used to have an attitude that bedrest was needed afterward and aside from risking forming blood clots, bone growth requires movement. No amount of painkillers is going to help either, she just hasn’t felt it until it was past the point of no return because of her diabetes. She won’t be able to find a (reputable) orthopedic surgeon to take her on either because both surgeries require a BMI under 40, and her immobility/attitude toward moving. But even if she did, the pain for the first few months after surgeries like this is worse because all of the feeling is coming back. Her nerves would reconnect and it’s agonizing.
On the note of personality disorders, typically you have a main one, which causes the largest impact on a patients life and traits of another one, it’s more like an axis then a set thing. It’s not always in the same cluster, but more often then not. She reeks of cluster B, and I’m sure it’s a little of both NPD and BPD. Diagnosis are just groups of symptoms to save time. The reasons why someone experiences symptoms don’t matter. Yeah, she’s probably just an asshole to a large degree, but it would be grouped together nonetheless. @Citroen did a good job of summing up the rest of it but I just wanted to throw it out there. Oh, and personality disorders aren’t covered by insurance as an interesting fact, because of the environmental factor it’s nearly impossible to get them covered. Patients are more likely to be told they have traits then get a solid diagnosis in the first place, it’s just way of tipping off other mental health professionals to what’s going on, then giving a general diagnosis of GAD or depression to sneak in treatment.
Cluster B’s are notoriously difficult to treat as well, and many therapists will turn them away. Someone once said about bpd patients in particular, “the problem is one day you’re the greatest therapist in the world, the next you have no idea what you’re talking about and they’ll fight you every step of the way. This glorification and refusal keeps them from actually looking inward and makes progress (if any is made) shallow.”

I'm actually interested if she will evolve into a legless blob monster. Like some sort of lost primordial species.
