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

[Underestimated Nutria]

Yeah i didn't think it was. One of the other munchies claimed to have it and to need special glasses but I can't remember which one now. Amanda/Ren maybe. She's tried on every diagnosis she's ever heard the name of.

The thing that gets me is these women have no real fear of anything. They don't think they're going to kill themselves through their unnecessary medical interventions, they don't worry about not being able to pay rent because their parents will bail them out if their tugboat isn't enough, if they're low on cash they run a GoFundMe. The kind of things that make normal adults functional if only to stay alive do not exist for them.




lol if you go back to this page and scroll halfway down you will find a post I made exposing in great detail that their founder and original top mod is a giant munchie. And if you think that's bad /r/truechronicillness is a sub they made as a blogging containment unit. It's nothing but cluster bs having a pity party.

This sounds awesome, thanks. I wonder if serious illness and pain ever cures them? Is there ever a remission on these watched cases?

 

[The1ThatStartsWithD]

Thanks for all of this, what a wild ride from one extreme eating disorder to another.

How did the Doctors not burst out laughing when she claimed she couldn't eat but tripled in size? I don't think it can even be explained away if she was also taking steroids for long periods of time for inflammation (Fibro? Arthritis?)

Also, that is the ugliest fucking ring I've ever laid eyes on.

B-but...she's a "GP GAINER!"

This sounds awesome, thanks. I wonder if serious illness and pain ever cures them? Is there ever a remission on these watched cases?

In the ones I've watched, no. They often don't like when shit is out of their control but it doesn't really slow their roll. This is a notoriously difficult condition to treat.

Not to bring it back to Jaquie but she got a roux-en-y surgery a little over a year ago that caused her real pain and complications for the first time in her life. She was visibly very shaken by it in the days immediately after the surgery and looked like she genuinely regret it. Instead of it being a wakeup call that she needed to stop, she got addicted to pushing narcotics through her J-tube or running to the hospital to get IV dilaudid. It's the combination of narcotics constipation, the roux-en-y and other surgeries disrupting the natural barriers that keep your organs where they're supposed to be, and the feeding tube that killed her.

There is one that was heavily profiled back on /snow/ (Robyn Brown) who hasn't reappeared online except to occasionally express embarrassment over how she acted on social media, but no one has a way of knowing what she's like IRL. She could be pretending to have Lou Gehrig's Disease for all we know.

"Spoonielife.Amanda", Jaquie's skinwalker who made a big show about how she got into therapy and was getting off social media and working hard to overcome her munchie behavior, came back worse than ever. She never changed her behavior IRL, just shut down her online presence for a while. And in the meantime gave herself sepsis and dislodged her own central line to get hospital stays.

r/illnessfakers users thought Jaq's bff Jan was getting better while she was on a prolonged social media break after she had some serious meltdowns over painful procedures. She also came back worse than ever, and even after her "sister" died from unnecessary medical interventions she's seeking the same kinds of radical procedures.

I'm sure there are some who have a come to jesus moment and get real help but it seems like the majority just fall back into their behaviors.

Kat is from York, PA, a grand metropolis out in Pennsyltucky with nothing to do but fake sick. She used to have another instagram, but if it's still around at all, I can't find it. 2014 she started this one which apparently used to be @kat_barfs (classy) to document her journey from skinny cute 23 year old woman who wasn't getting enough attention to morbidly obese genderblob in a wheelchair. She claims to have gastroparesis (lol), POTS, fibromyalgia, overactive bladder, polycystic ovaries, a serious nut allergy, migraines, osteopenia, spinal stenosis, arthritis and more. Is currently looking into EDS, it appears. The apparent trigger for all of this was moving to York from Baltimore followed immediately by a bout of appendicitis in 2014. From what little she says about it, it seems like her apartment in Baltimore was a filth hole full of alcoholics and she left to move back in with the 'rents until she could get a place with her boyfriend.

All she ever posts about is her health and her pets and like most munchies she does not work and no longer has any real friends. Describes herself as a "professional patient and all-around sick person" on Facebook. Ready?

Here is one of the first posts on her 'gram. She's claimed to have just had an appendectomy and bowel resection. that is a drain tube, not a feeding tube, coming out of her nose.

Birthday cake is a smoothie, eating baby foods, humblebrag about weight loss. She never explains what's happened to her, never mentions a diagnosis, but she also doesn't engage in hashtag abuse. She seems to have just been reporting her life to friends and most of her early posts are about trips to nearby Baltimore, moving out on her own, concerts, parties, and her pets. Nothing that would raise alarm bells for me.

Another hospital admit. IV saline, refuses to eat food until she gets another NJ. By the way it's a munchie trope to be in the hospital for important events like holidays, birthdays, and weddings. This is because the attention isn't on them and/or they get more sympathy for not being able to participate in the event. They get all the medical attention and drama they crave plus the "poor Kat couldn't come to thanksgiving so we'll all come visit her to make her feel better" extra attention.

GJ tube talk starts. Mentions going to Temple for a gastric stimulator which is the same hospital Dani got hers placed at (and I think the only one in the city that really does them as they're a crapshoot). Is on domperidone which is not approved in the US but many doctors suggest patients order from Canada because it's used everywhere else in the world with no problems.

Immune compromised, must mask. Masks are better worn by the person who has the flu as they will catch the moisture from their coughing and sneezing and prevent it from being breathed in by others or landing on common surfaces. With regular hand washing by the sick person and others in the house, it can markedly improve the odds of not spreading the flu. She never mentions immune issues before or after this.

Start of the "I fall down all the time and definitely need a wheelchair" saga. Next day goes for a Tilt Table Test and gets diagnosed "borderline POTSy." TTT is very easy to fake.

GJ tube talk starts. Mentions going to Temple for a gastric stimulator which is the same hospital Dani got hers placed at (and I think the only one in the city that really does them as they're a crapshoot). Is on domperidone which is not approved in the US but many doctors suggest patients order from Canada because it's used everywhere else in the world with no problems.

Immune compromised, must mask. Masks are better worn by the person who has the flu as they will catch the moisture from their coughing and sneezing and prevent it from being breathed in by others or landing on common surfaces. With regular hand washing by the sick person and others in the house, it can markedly improve the odds of not spreading the flu. She never mentions immune issues before or after this.

Finally doctors take her TPN away again. "New meds" means marijuana. Because you can't just get a weedman and smoke recreationally like everyone else in the world.

You're a real munchie hunter. This post was a trip.
Fun fact: "emotional support animals" do not to be registered (in the US at least). You just need a letter from your therapist or maybe psychiatrist. There's a lot of scammy websites offering to "register" your ESA, but they just take money and give you a meaningless piece of paper. So either Kat is really dumb and fell for a fake service, or she attempted to scam some money out of her followers. Does anybody every donate to her?
How long was she married?
Also, damn, shaving your hair off to appear more sick and then asking for donations is really fucking low.

 

[Kate Farms Shill]

ESD: I don't know if she ever actually registered it or if she just thought she did and someone told her she didn't have to.

Donations: her "Help my ESD!!!!!" one got $20. "Pay for me to go to a convention because I never get to have fun" got $20. "pay for my monthly pain meds" got a whopping $5, lol.


Married: November 2016. Last photo with husband (photo taken and posted in the same day): April 2017. Last appearance of husband at all (old photo she reposted): November 2017. Divorce papers filed: April 2019. So they were happily married for somewhere between six months and two and a half years and she doesn't mention him at all in 2018. But then again, all she talks about is herself and her health.


EDIT I forgot to add that I figured out the ankle braces that appear towards the end are for "dropfoot" by which she means foot drop, when the muscles or nerves in your lower leg are damaged such that you can't lift your foot normally. This is why Jaquie had the pink AFOs and several other munchies also claim to have it.

It won't last. She has nothing in her life except faking sick for attention and going on weekly Target runs with her mom. She'll be back to talk about how cyberbullies made her anorexia come back in no time.

Im from the uk so don’t understand the us system much, but in the US can cats be emotional support animals?

Ended up on a rabbit hole of some munchies Facebooks and found one with a cat as a esa?
Was wondering if that’s something they just made up.

 

[eternal dog mongler]

Just spent 15 minutes on r/illnessfakers. Is everyone there a munchie trying to one-up whoever is under discussion? Whoever would've guessed that munchies, when not munching, love to expose their compadres--or maybe just have a socially acceptable place to drone on about how Real Patients Like Me are definitely The Real Victims Here OK Guys!‽

Munchies typically fucking hate each other and it's awesome.

Like internet asspats are just a zero-sum game and they don't want any illness fakers stealing them away from their real, actual illnesses that they totally have.

Despite everyone having gastro, no munchie can ever really tell you about they manage it even when they're not fucking up and posting pictures of them eating cheeseburgers. It's just a fucking selfie cavalcade of toobz and neck braces.

Technically yes, cats can be ESAs. So can rabbits, Guinea pigs and a bunch of other animals. However, ESAs aren’t service animals and can’t be taken public places.

Although they are not service dogs, ESAs do have certain rights in terms of housing and air travel. The Fair Housing Act includes ESAs in its definition of assistance animals. Under the act, people cannot be discriminated against due to a disability when obtaining housing. Therefore, rules such as no pets, species bans, or pet-size limitations do not apply to people who have a prescription for an ESA, and they cannot be charged a pet deposit for having their ESA live with them.


The Air Carrier Access Act allows service animals and ESAs to accompany their handler in the cabin of an aircraft. The airline might require documentation stating that the person has a disability and the reason why the animal must travel with them. If you intend to travel with an ESA, contact the airline ahead of time to ensure you can provide the appropriate paperwork.

Service animals can only be dogs, but ESAs can be any common domestic animal including dogs, cats, or ferrets, and more. To qualify, the animal must be reasonably well behaved by typical pet standards, such as being toilet trained, and can’t be a nuisance or danger to others.

So yeah, the cat can be an ESA but the only thing that would grant them is the right to have the cat in their house even if there’s a no-pet clause on their lease or HOA deed or whatever regulation there is and the right to fly with the cat.

muh schizophrenia/bpd/bipolar/schizoaffective disorder/dissociation/panic disorder
claims EDS, can't walk need wheelchair.
MCAS, not bothered by smoking or makeup or any other common trigger.
Has irlen syndrome, something that probably does not exist.

I'm going to defer to the experts who say otherwise rather than an advocacy website that's sole purpose is pushing the narrative that it does and also happens to be the first google hit and maybe has a financial interest in proving it's real.

You can find official looking advocacy websites saying Morgellons Disease exists. And Chronic Lyme, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, Adrenal Fatigue, Leaky Gut, and any number of other proposed diagnoses that do not hold up to scrutiny.
