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

Can you clue me into who you’re referring to?

Nina Jean the munchie queen

Sorry, I’m new to munchie world. Is there a breakdown of her claims and summary of who she is somewhere, or what is her reddit name? Google is failing me.

I don’t doubt it. She doesn’t bat an eye about lying, sh00ping’s par for the course. Diagnosing herself with EDS, POTS, and now heart failure was just the beginning. FYI, it’s not EDS or heart failure if your joints ache and you have hypertension simply from being a fatty. But muh eating disorder!!

In other note, did anyone see when she was whining about not being able to take a bath, because no one was there to help her?? No wonder she created that special snowflake Reddit, she’s trying to cover her own munchie behavior.

Edited: Nina Jean

She diagnosed herself with heart failure? Has she seen a doctor at all? I mean that's kind of...life threatening, unlike hEDS. Not that she really has it, but you know, just for realism she really should see a doctor about that.

I gotchu fam. Read and laugh about how a woman started a whole subreddit about munchausen by internet to cover that she, herself, scoots around in a wheelchair she doesn't need and screeches about disability access and her super serious EDS.

She has been to cardios more than once. She has hypertension.

Interesting how many of her diagnoses are mutually exclusive. Like if you really have CHF then you can't have chronic fatigue, because your heart failure explains the fatigue. You don't need to finish medical school to pick up those tidbits. Nothing offends me more than a sloppy liar.

Have we seen this gal yet? Another EDS "warrior" with toobs. They are getting to be a dime a dozen. Where tf were all these folks fifteen years ago?

There's a reason munchies end up creating social media echo chambers with other sooper sick people and losing all their IRL relationships. Anyone who is even a little bit of a critical thinker is going to catch on to those inconsistencies and start to resent the person for it. Even if you don't know that chronic fatigue and heart failure cannot coexist, her presentation of these illnesses isn't going to sit right with people for long. People who see her going to dance classes and walking around just fine one day are going to get burnt out with her bullshit when she puts them on blast all over social media for not having a handicap accessible apartment (complete with pouty selfie she made someone take on the stairs) after they thought to invite her to a holiday party.

The other munchies are going to say "yes this is exactly correct and I know because my doctor that is really real also diagnosed me with all of these conditions so I know exactly how she feels (except I'm worse off of course)." People who claim super severe gastroparesis and are caught eating cheeseburgers the next day are going to get eyebrows raised but other munchies will just scream about how flares happen and everyone's illness is different. These people bank on critical thinkers not wanting to seem like dicks for calling them out, so they don't keep those people too close to them and surround themselves with cheerleaders who will shout over anyone who tries to.

(And I have to admit I was picking apart another case that had all sorts of bizarre inconsistencies and a chance DM with a kiwi who knew them personally filled in the missing pieces of the puzzle. So even a seasoned hunter can be flat-out wrong sometimes. And really, goes to show you the damage these fakers do to genuinely sick people.)

15 years ago they couldn't set up their echo chambers and learn from each other, lol. They just had to fake in real life until they got caught.

Anytime someone calls themselves a "warrior" I automatically assume they're a munchie.

Any time someone calls themselves a “webe” I automatically assume they’re a crazy super munchie.

Looks like someone did a little profile spring cleaning. Would have thought an innocent person would have nothing to hide. Lurking on the farms are we, Carly? Tut-tut. What would Jason think of his fave #superwebe if he heard about that?

Lol they all lurk. Dani DFE’d. Skin walker Amanda deleted the post about her health woes. Like if you guys were anywhere near as sick as you claim you wouldn’t be checking here to make sure we aren’t talking about you yet.

Anelise/Tina now has a sutured NG tube (they stitched it to the inside of her nose so she can’t remove it.) so much for gastroparesis so bad she needs TPN.

People who claim super severe gastroparesis and are caught eating cheeseburgers the next day are going to get eyebrows raised but other munchies will just scream about how flares happen and everyone's illness is different.

A lot of autoimmune diseases work like this. You'll have periods where everything is pretty good then flare up and go to shit really quickly. Eventually you'll recover and things will be semi-normal again.

The trouble is that people aren't stupid. If you're totally okay when you're going to Disney World but then flares mysteriously happen every time you want some attention or are required to do adult things....

Then the people close to you in your life catch on pretty damn quick to your game.

The thing is they manage to hospitalize themselves for birthdays and holidays and minor family vacations, then bloobloo about how sad it is. If you don’t think about how much more pity they get for missing out vs the enjoyment they get for participating, it can appear they really are missing out on everything they want to do. And Jaquie had a real knack for explaining why her health problems didn’t affect her in Disney - she only went at night for a few hours, she rarely showed that she went on multiple rides in a day and only once on one of the really intense ones, and she used their medical stations to administer her drugs (at one point even infusing saline on the jungle cruise). And she always made sure to “fade” by the time fireworks started and need to leave.

They’d be less obvious if they claimed flares with things that are actually autoimmune. And yeah, if they had flares that forced them to miss the fun stuff, not just all responsibilities.

I wasn't aware a sutured NG tube was a thing. That sounds horrific.

Also, who is skin walker? I can't keep track of everybody.

How can you live such a meaningless and unexciting life that the most important thing you can think to place in a quick bio for others to get a glimpse into who you are is your list of shitty illnesses?

 

[Petrusha]

what really gets me about the VOG masks is that those aren't even real VOG masks, they're just dust masks, regular ass fabric with a plastic vent to keep the moitsutre from your breath from making the fabric too damp when you exhale. They're useful as hell for pollen/dust/etc. allergies but won't do shit for keeping germs away from you, they're just fabric

Also, can someone explain the Kate Farms thing to me? how is it different from other tube feeding formulas that makes it a Munchie thing. (was not really aware there were different brands of tube food tbh)

from an article about it which is definitely pro-Kate Farms but it's all I could find:

Unlike the commercially available formula first given to Kate — made mainly of water, sugar, corn syrup and a highly processed carbohydrate, Laver said — Kate Farms solutions are organic and hypoallergenic, free of dairy, gluten, soy, corn, GMOs, nuts, non-nutritive sweeteners, and anything artificial or that promotes inflammation.

they also make protein drinks

It bothered me that she went from needing her special gluten free, dairy free Kate Farms tube feee to eating dino nuggets while still being tube fed. Which was it?

 

[suck my pickle]

would also like to mention while on the topic of munchies who love to take the background spotlight by modding subs like IF, the new mods of the fallout sub r/munchausensbyinternet are all "famous" in the chronic illness community on instagram, friends with many of the subjects they post about, and seem to be munchies themselves.

Skinwalker is Amanda Winig, who copied Jaquie to a terrifying single white female degree. Here's a post I did about her. She used to be really prolific but she got scared off the internet.

It's rare and special, organic, vegan, made with "whole foods", and insurance doesn't often want to cover it so they have to fight for it. It makes them seem like their delicate digestive systems can't handle those chemical-laden GMO non-organic slops everyone else puts in their tube. Basically a crossover between wellness/vegan spergs and munchies.

Also I tried one of their coffee flavored protein shakes once for science and wew lad. It tasted like someone dripped a tablespoon of coffee into chalky mud.
