dontpetmeimworking is back at it with those tragic fucking nails. Why does she rape viewers with like 500+ hashtags, especially when they're not actually relevant to the picture itself?

After some Google searching, I found the pills I had been taking. They were SlimQuick (I think the Fat Burner). I don't know if they contain the combination you mentioned, but I do know they had a fuckload of caffeine in them, which is what most diet pills contain.
I was working out for quite a while and I do think my heart rate and symptoms did improve a bit.
Moral of the story from personal experience, do not take diet pills ever. Don't take unnecessary pills ever. It will fuck you up.
Also, I was scrolling through the instagram of someone I casually know and while I think she does have legitimate medical issues (some of which are the usual Munchie combo), she definitely displayed the OTT behavior a lot of Munchies do. How do you determine when someone is just being OTT about things and when they are actually faking issues? The girl I mentioned above does admit to mental health issues. But her former behavior just doesn't sit right after reading this thread.

Glad you’re doing better. I don’t think you can ever really know if anyone is faking or not, unless they admit it. Because somatization disorder is real and the brain will give you symptoms of things you think you have. Look up and research Munchausens and Somatization disorder and the differences.
If someone is just OTT but has real issues, then they’re generally going to just have one or two chronic illnesses, that they sit there and ruminate on and go into way too much detail about. Munchausen people who are faking it for either attention or monetary gain are in general going to go through many doctors, many diagnoses, and end up with this laundry list of diagnoses that are often contraindicative of each other (example: fibromyalgia and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome). They’re also going to shut down and possibly get really OTT when someone calls out their behavior.
Someone with somatization disorder could be OTT as well. But they’re going to typically have more vague complaints that run similar to physical issues with anxiety. The difference usually between this and Munchausen is that munchies are actively looking to take on new diagnoses and so they grill people about their symptoms and then start talking about those symptoms, fishing for diagnosis. So, one year the munchie might be looking for epilepsy diagnosis, and then doctor debunks that and then they’re searching for a narcolepsy diagnosis “because maybe I’m actually just falling asleep instead of falling catatonic”, then after that they might move on to heart issues, “maybe I’m fainting”. Etc etc.
Edit to add: In general, if a person has a REAL chronic illness, they may post a lot about it in a short time when searching for diagnosis or just having been diagnosed but then maybe mention something about it very rarely afterward. I’ve never seen anyone who doesn’t have Munchie or isn’t extremely OTT talk about it literally every day on social media.

Maybe I'm just too fucking out of touch to get social media, but what in the hell is it with these people putting like 80 hashtags about their "illnesses" in every post even when they're posting about something that isn't relevant to it in the least? It makes me think that's how they interact with people in real life, in every situation. Like they're ordering a coffee or buying nail polish or whatever and they take the time to list off all their condishuns to the minimum wage employee selling it to them.... Actually that might not be that far off the mark now that I think about it.
Also the lines between somatization, malingering, and Munchausens are usually pretty blurred. Most of these cunts probably really do get lightheaded when they stand up too fast sometimes or have the minor muscle stiffness that naturally accompanies a lifestyle of lying around in bed all day doing absolutely fuck all, but instead of just dealing with it like a normal person, they decide it's a giant crippling disability and never shut the fuck up about it.

Can someone here tell me why all these bishes in the “CI community” have a headboard with lights around it? Who started this trend? Why? Every damned one of them with an IV or toob has them.

It's probably a trend from Pintrest and they are all princesses in their own minds. I just noticed Chantal has the headboard lights too. lol

hashtag spam will increase the visibility of their posts. whats the point of invisible illness if no one knows about it?

Munchies want to be sick. This differentiates them from hypochondriacs, malingerers and drug-seekers, none of whom want to be sick.
It's pretty telling if you caught some kind of chronic illness diagnosis and then made that part of your identity.

Morgan and her mom are one of the few munchie shit shows
I don’t really follow many munchies, but Morgan is my favorite because her and mommy are getting so desperate due to most sane ppl cottoning on to their attention seeking insanity.
Also, having her mom collaborate on the munchie BS makes it extra crazy. They keep having to go to all these far flung hospitals because she’s been outed at most of her local ones and even some in other states. I’m sure anyone that got ahold of her medical records will see the big psychiatric issues and munchie red flags, but Morgan and Mommy keep on trucking.
Her and her mom are such awful people. I do think Morgan will eventually manage to bankrupt her entire family with this BS. It’s obvious insurance/Medicaid caught on to her fraud so her continuing to pursue totally unneeded treatment is going to rack up enormous bills fast.

Docs are pretty good about AN since can't hide skelly all that much.
Out there thought, the vast majority of visable munchies have AN?
A majority of followers are self aware that they also have the eating disorder and my 2 cents for actively hidding it *keeping up appearances (asspats) *they acticely believe they have hEDS (since it's a autistic dream) *Shame *Ego.
99% sure the docs can admit involuntarily in the situation you decribe. Then force feed them. With a very small chance they maybe in the very small group that improve enough to get rid of most of their MBI and autism.
Oh and I'll bet AJ's family know how bad jj is and gave her a pass. They must know all the mental health issues with jj.

I believe I may have stumbled upon a male munchie. He even calls himself a spoonie, but he’s all up in tangles over not being given adequate amounts of OxyContin for his “torn ligament and beginnings of osteoarthritis”. So maybe he is just drug seeking? One of his posts even mentions a partner who is undergoing cancer treatment and won’t be able to adopt because she has bipolar and had a goFuckme to raise money to continue to pay for her egg preservation. He’s also a pagan into healing arts and says he’s had more prayers answered this way than he ever did as a Christian.

its been said over and over but eating disorders can acutely mess with bp and blood work and when they go see a doctor that is not aware of their history of restricting, barfing, laxatives or whatever it can seem like something is way off. gastric emptying tests can be fooled with longer term eating disorders and various over the counter drugs so munchies can get their gastro diagnosis and have chance at a precious tube.
but even if staff knows that they are purposely fucking with stuff, if something is threatening enough, they are going to treat it anyway because thats what they are supposed to do. i think about tina (analises.fight) and going from er to er seeking treatments for mysterious and persistent heart problems. of course medical professionals will take those issues seriously. thats high up on triage. no matter if its self imposed or some random medical mystery munchies get wet over its not something they are going to say drink water, eat regularly and fuck off. they get you stable. its a fast, dangerous way to get an admission and selfie opportunity.

Oh boy, this guy is too much.
a ghost hunter, furry, spoonie, cop hating antifa
(Feels like we've won a game of tumblr bingo)Interesting that rather than lashing out at his doctors like the girls when he's refused narcotics he just seems to suicide bait. I had to stop reading because he sounds like a m'lady with all of his Nordic God references. I reckon he's just one of those people who tries too hard to seem interesting and fit in so he just tries every single group. One final thought, he's shilling some ancient natural ruin, fire cup healing woo claiming he's using it to heal his back pain and drug seeking at the same time. wtf?

This was my thought, too. You’re getting answered prayers and healing juju from the gods while still needing OxyContin? So that fire cuppin not working wonders for your arthritis, eh? Dude’s probably legit depressed as opiates work on seretonin as well and depression can cause pain.Oh boy, this guy is too much.

Because people might just realize he’s an addict if all he does is whine about wanting moar oxy 24/7. Gotta throw in some juju woo to make the pain more legit.
I’ve seen quite a few addicts get cortison shots or nerve blockers to convince the doctors of their real pain and not just wanting narcitics

These posts confused me to no end. Nobody with a disability would post that. What exactly do they think they're going to get other than laughter at their expense?
