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

[pinkbutterfly]

I got ibuprofen.

Look, I hope you're doing okay, but are you sure all you got was ibuprofen? Your post is... a lot...

 

[TwoFiftyTwoPM]

Like that Angie who claims to have CRPS. This condition killed my mother. Towards the end she could no longer walk and was in agonizing pain 24/7. I am horrified that munchies are pretending to have such a devistating illness disease whose complications can lead to death. Angie constantly begs for money and makes people feel bad if they don't donate by saying she will die without the money. There are really sick people ot there who can't afford their medications. My mom's copays were in the hundreds and thousands. My stepfather had to remortgage the house to pay for medication and he died $70,000 in debt. Seriously, fuck these fakers.

But on another note, yesterday I had to go to the ER for a serious lupus flare. It was Saturday so I couldn't go to the doctor and couldn't wait until Monday for treatment. I was actually scared the whole time I would be seen as a munchie or malingerer because of the people featured in this thread. But I had unmistakable lesions and other syptoms. Still, I felt awkward because of these awful cows. Thanks.

So while I was there I got an insight on some of these "muh chronic illness" hospital selfies that you guys might be interested in. I hadn't been to the ER in over ten years and I hadn't been to this particular one in even longer. So some protocall seems to have changed. I have also never had to go to the ER for lupus before. So there may be protocalls for conditions like that which I didn't know about.

I was in an exam room for four hours while they ran tests. They gave me an IV and took nine vials of blood. They tested my kidney function because there is a risk that lupus can attack your kidneys and I had swelling in my feet, legs and ankles. I didn't mention my family history with kidney problems because I was too ill to think straight. But they ran tests anyway and luckily I had normal kidney function. My hemoglobin is too low though.

The tests they ran may be a common procedure for people who come in with flares to lupus and other chronic illnesses. They put in an IV right away in case they have to administer medication or hang a bag. This may be the common protocall now when it comes to ER visits. If anyone has been to an ER recently is this the case for everything?

The exam rooms have various equipment that is turned on even when not in use and there is a supply drawer which isn't locked. During my stay I was left alone for several intervals. Some were long enough that if I wanted to I could have gotten up, taken out supplies and arranged equipment, took selfies with it then put it all back. It would have been easy for me to grab an IV pole and put my arm close to it to make it look as if the looped IV lead was attatched. I could have posed near a machine to make it look like it was monitoring me. I could have arranged vials or other supplies around me.

I was also on a stretcher with the guardrails up and not a hospital bed. In my opinion stretchers tend to give more of a picture of emergency. I remember many years ago some exam rooms had beds instead. I'm not sure if it varies from hospital to hospital though. They put the guardrails up for your own safety. If you fall out they will be liable for not securing you. It doesn't necessarily mean that you are deathly ill and may fall due to that. I was given a gown too. This may be standard now. Depending on the hospital the gown may or may not have the name on it. Munchies may seek out ERs of certain hospitals because the name being on it adds cred.

I have an allergy to percoset. So I got an orange allergy bracelet. You do not need to prove you have an allergy to get one of these. And since munchies love their pills and don't want to miss out, saying you are allergic to shellfish may be enough because some injectable dyes are made with shellfish.

Things have changed though in terms of pills being handed out. I got ibuprofen. But I remember years ago they handed out things like vicodin a lot more readily. I got it for an ear infection when I was 15 because I was in a lot of pain and was going on a trip. The doctor didn't want me to have a bad time. That would never happen now. Especially for a minor. But pill seekers have made it a lot harder for people who need those medications to get them.

There were so many opportunities for me to take selfies clandestinely while being examined and tested too. The nurse had to get more vials from the drawer and while she was over there I could have taken pics of my filled blood vials without her even knowing. I could have taken pics of my swolen feet and legs when I was alone. I could have done a lot of things to make it look like I was in serious peril. But in reality I was way too ill to even think about it. Unlike fakers who feel just dandy and have the energy to take dozens of selfies while they are apparently dying. And I wouldn't take pics of my lip and nose lesions either because that is gross and you can look that stuff up online if you are curious anyway.

I also got delirious and threw up. And I don't know how many munchies would see that as a photo op. But even if I want to tell people what happened to me in the ER it does not incluse gross pics or any pics at all..

Also, they told me to follow up with my doctor. I have to anyway because my hemoglobin is lower than it's ever been. But they do tell this to everybody. It is a good opportunity for munchies to claim they have to go see another doctor because they are LITERALLY dying of "insert fake illness here". They give you paperwork with homecare instructions too. The condition you came in for is noted on them and the info about it can look pretty scary because they have to list all the risks. It is standard to get this paperwork. So anyone flashing it as proof is no different than anyone else at the ER. They got info on what they came in for.

I got some medication anti-nausea medication through the IV because I had thrown up and they didn't want me swallowing anything. I could have easily snapped a photo of this because the nurse was cnsentrating on administering it. And if I wanted to say I got saline it wouldn't technically be a lie. They flush your IV with saline when they put it in and sfter they take it out.

So to recap, lots of opportunities to take misleading pics. I was left alone several times long enough to arrange medical gear then put it back. While staff's back was turned I could have taken pics of what they were doing and they never would have known. I got IV medication and it would have been easy for me to snap a pic of this too. I got an allergy bracelet because I needed one but anyone could say they did.

Those are perfectly normal tests to run with a lupus history, especially if you're having edema. That can be indicative of organ failure.

The rest is also pretty run of the mill emergency room visit. It's hilarious how munchies like to parade their gowns, their bracelets, etc, when absolutely anyone and everyone gets those in the ER. Hell, getting a fall risk bracelet is as easy as saying "I feel dizzy", or having dizziness mentioned anywhere in your medical records. What you described is the average visit - definitely not the death-defying visits that our munchies like to put them across as.

Looks like things are imploding for Nina. Along with the possibly spurious dying grandfather, that is.

Amy Lee Fisher posted on her IG story the other day - vagueposted - about not believing people would like about a bowel obstruction. Now, Nina was last in hospital for 'a bowel obstruction'.

Now, another girl who has been thick as thieves with Nina has posted overtly saying she is no longer associated with Nina, hindsight is 20/20 etc. Amy has supported her:

Nina appears to have gone on a deleting spree on her channel. There had been quite a lot of cross-interaction between her and Amy in particular, including Nina's suicide attempts landing her in hospital with Amy having found her, her being there when Amy was admitted etc. It's all gone from Nina's channel. Not Amy's yet.

There is one video left from the other girl who has specifically called her out though:

Schizophrenia is scary. People might be sympathetic to schizophrenics in the abstract, but they don't want to be near the crazy lady shouting that the government is tracking her in the bus station. Not a good munchie choice. Mental illnesses in general are a bad munchie choice, because either they're too scary or too common--e.g. tons and tons of young women have depression and anxiety, faking that isn't making you special.

Goverment tracking is one thing, next thing you know is that she is trying to.cut you open to see of you have secret cia crap in you. Or shoving a buttplug up your anus because ur mother believes rhe Devil is trying to seduce you so you have to keep.him at bay with tjis cute butt plug. Psychosis is shitt to deal with



Sorry for beinf late.

 

[$hakerattle]

Like that Angie who claims to have CRPS. This condition killed my mother.

Hey are you referring to Angie Dong? Anything new going on with her? I remember people on Tumblr wising up and calling her out. She set up shop on another blog site, I think? Just wondering if anyone knows what she's up to. She and Morgan are the biggest trainwrecks for me.

Oh and stfu Morgan, lots of people on this site are legit sick/disabled/whatever. They just don't like munchies like you making things worse for them irl. You won't post proof because there is none, your brain's not on fire. You can always try faking again, that was pretty funny.

So what’s the deal? Seems like a munchie circle jerk. What do munchies get mad at other munchies about? Couldn’t be faking and exaggerating since they all do that, so I’m spurious what caused the munchie call out, friends no more! posts and DFE.

The brain of fire stuff was hilarious. I love when munchies shoot for the stars (a real serious disease but with actual diagnostic tests that easily show they are full of BS) and get shot down in flames. Her and mommy were so enamored by that movie they had to give it a try. They get so wrapped up in their deluded fantasies they start to believe they can convince doctors to Dx them with anything if they can just bring enough drama to the table. You’d think Morgan would have learned her lesson, that stunt got her put in the psych ward, but she seems to have regained her munchie steam to go for another big fake illness attempt.

They put in an IV right away in case they have to administer medication or hang a bag. This may be the common protocall now when it comes to ER visits. If anyone has been to an ER recently is this the case for everything?

Not an ER, but I drove someone to and from a surgery recently (it went well!) and this person, too, was attached to an IV with saline beforehand, though the surgery didn't require any intravenous medication. I asked the nurse if this was for hydration or something, and she told me that it was to "keep a line open" so that if anything went wrong and the patient did require some sort of medication unexpectedly, it could be administered without any prep. As you said, that's why you were given the IV in the hospital as well; though you didn't need anything at the time, the nurses wanted you prepared in case your situation worsened suddenly. (I hope everything has been going smoothly since!)

So, yeah, I suspect that being given a saline IV is just standard protocol. But to anyone unfamiliar to the situation, it certainly looks intimidating and Medical.

She has a thread here, albeit not super active:

https://kiwifarms.st/threads/angie-anqi-angi-dong-skagra-skagra3482.38426/

It seems like her lawsuit has stalled out and not given her the financial windfall that was supposed to “save her life”. I’m sure she’s still grifting somewhere, she raked in so much from Tumblr idiots it was astonishing.

 

[Whereareallthepeople]

In case no one noticed (or you have stopped sleuthing to find her after she shut down her accounts), dani is back on IG and her screename is tubefedbookworm. I dont think she thought anyone would find her (I mean, be smart! of course someone will find you at some point! You are like a bright light calling all the moths at night). She is still going after the mast cell diagnosis now! You know, she has to show all her "fans" the amazing amount of benadryl she has to take every day now, in her stories. Yesterday she posted how bad her eating disorder is -of course she did. She has "failed" every single formula as soon as they send her a month supply. Even Kate farms. Does she know that is not how it works? She is ridiculously transparent. And she broke her new tube because she just can't stand going one day without a medical emergency to keep her relative. What is it, 3 or 4 new tubes in a matter of less months? I seriously cringe watching her stories because she just cannot handle no one giving 2 fucks about her so she must make a big scene and ask for everyone to give their input on how to fix the shit she caused in the first place. I wonder if anyone actually sends her private messages or reponds to her super shpesshal munchie sickiemcsicksick drama? I still do not get how she got that tube in the first place. She is probably sending a million messages to her doctors and harassing his secretaries and nurses so damn much that they just give her whatever she wants to just get her to shut the fuck up and go away.

Yeah, an IV is protocol, it's easy to get an oxygen mask too if you know the right thing to say, oxygen masks freak out people but it's just oxygen, no procedure needed and it has no side effects (disclaimer: am not a doctor) so if you complain about difficulty breathing they may put one on you just in case, more so if you claim to have asthma or some other lung problems.

How little most people know of routine medical procedures goes a long way to feed the munchie narrative, if you are at the ER for 1 or 2 hours and then they let you go home it means nothing serious happened, no matter how many tests they did or whatever, of course you may have an infection or a flare up, but if it was really bad they aren't going to just tell you to go home, people that really live with chronic illness know how to live with the occasional ER visit and know it's not a big deal, it sucks but that's it, if you do get admitted then that's when you may start to worry (or not I guess, depending on the illness in question).

 

[repentance]

I thought you might find this post from the health care workers thread on the Something Awful forums interesting as many munchies lay claim to a diagnosis of MCAS.

 

[Ellesse_warrior]

I don't even know where to begin with this. Janjan just posted this video of Orion 'alerting' as she listened to Dsiney songs and cries. No explanation as to what Orion is meant to be alerting her of which gives a little insight into how munchies determine their pets are service dogs. It's truly bizarre that she posted this at all.

Here are my thoughts; she is still cashing in on Jaq's death (there are two ads on the video) and seems to not understand that what Orion is doing is not an alert. Any dog will behave like this if it's owner is hysterically crying.

Hey you figured out how to post! Welcome to the farms!

Kate farms is actually a really shitty formula and most people 'fail' it. It almost killed Mary Frey because it wasn't compatible with her enzyme cartridges. It also clogs tube pumps unless you water it down.

If any of her subscribers saw the funeral video, they have to know she's a POS that didn't care about Jaq. Surely they won't watch, so she shouldn't make much ad revenue.

Hello Kiwis. I would like to introduce one of my new best friends, Sarah-Jean Adolphus, who is dying of acute lack of port.

Spoiler: a new batshit munchie with daily vlogs to fill that Jaquie-shaped hole in your heart

Sorry, this is very wordy. Because she is primarily active on YouTube and only a little on social media platforms, I'm mostly posting video links with highlight summaries instead of photos. If she gets rid of her YT account I have backups because I'm not new here. This is long as all hell because she has an enormous internet footprint and many rabbitholes you can fall down in researching. Also she never ever shuts up.



insta: theadolphuschronicles (formerly _zebrastrong but some PETA-tards apparently got her booted, also had beautyby.sarahjean for her makeup business and happyvegantravler for her animal rescue/vegan rants, but both are gone now)
Youtube (archive)
care package insta in which she stalks all the people from Special Books by Special Kids as well as several of our munchies like ChronicallyCourt and Amy Lee Fisher. To her credit, she does mostly send them to actually ill children.

Also runs The.Power.of.Ten, the NPO she set up for donations for the care packages
Wishlist for the care packages.
Linkedin (archive)
Model Mayhem (archive)
More modeling
WeGo Health Award self-nomination (won't archive but it's just her name and a selfie)
Twatter she never used linking to a dead website (archive)
Merch which people actually fucking bought, also available on TeeSpring

Amazon wishlist in case you want to buy her something nice.



If you decide to surprise her with something not on her list, you can send it to the following address:
26601 Xerxes Trail, Elko, MN

Sarah-Jean is a 34-year-old is a professional victim and self-proclaimed "medical wonder" who is beyond your typical munchie. Sarah-Jean makes it outstandingly obvious that she's making most of her problems up, admits to lying to her doctors and fudging tests, demands second and third opinions when she's told point-blank that there's nothing wrong, admits to "researching" new diagnoses and treatments she wants habitually, and will cite exactly which other munchies she's copying. I can't tell if she's self-aware and just doesn't give a fuck, or if she so ridiculously lacks self-awareness as to think what she's doing is okay/normal/justifiable. Her doctors call her out for being a munchie/refer her to psych all the time.

She grew up in and around New York City, moved to Minneapolis and possibly southern California as a teen (her father lived there for a spell and her mother still lives there), then moved to Queens, New York, lived very briefly in Las Vegas where she has some family, back to Minnesota, then in Tampa and St. Petersburg, Florida. She had some success as a make up artist along the way. A few years ago she moved back to Elko, Minnesota, a tiny exurb of Minneapolis-St. Paul, to become a full time unemployed sick kid living in her dad's house and going on adventures he pays for. She has gone to see dozens of doctors and specialists but no one can figure out what's wrong with her, probably because there is nothing wrong with her. Every time something is fixed, two more things appear. Her parents pay for her living expenses and she has no friends. If you're in the US and pay taxes then congratulations, you are paying for Sarah-Jean's constant munchie staycations at Mayo Clinic because she's on medicare and loves to brag about how everything she does is fully covered by it.

In her first videos she claims she has supraventricular tachycardia with two failed ablations, an undiagnosed eye condition that is so rare it's illegal to diagnose it in Minnesota (what?), and narcolepsy w/o cataplexy, and the list just grows from there. Currently she claims those diagnoses plus POTS (but also bradycardia), hepatitis C, neurocardiogenic syncope (the technical scary-sounding term for that thing that makes some people faint when they get scared or see blood), cluster headaches, gastritis, mast cell activation syndrome, restless leg syndrome, ovarian cysts, vaginal atrophy, patellofemoral syndrome aka Runner's Knee, irritable bowel syndrome, and both high and low blood pressure.

For her mental health she currently claims BPD, OCD, Tourette's syndrome, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, autism with "severe verbal over-stimulation", major depression, an unspecified communication disorder, significantly low memory, and a schizotypical personality features.

Amazingly, none of these problems stop her from doing anything she wants to do. She can run around in the heat including living in fucking Florida for several years, clean up after and care for barnyard animals, go to theme parks, and attend local events but always makes sure to “crash” once she gets home and have a crisis so everyone knows how super duper sick she is. She claims to have survived advanced endometriosis (not fatal) and, the big one, cervical cancer. What she actually had was precancerous cells found on a pap and removed. Like, you know, a lot of women who don't go on to claim they had fucking cancer. She had knee surgery a few years ago.

She doesn't actually name most of her medications but I've managed to scope out a few she's taken over her brief career: Adderall, Emgality (a -mab drug for migraines), Xyrem (for narcolepsy), Zyrtec, Benadryl, prednisone, Cromolyn, and Zoloft she won't take or even pick up at the pharmacy.

She refers to herself as a "zebra" despite not having even fake Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. EDS patients and the many, many fakers of EDS have long claimed the zebra as their mascot because of the med school standard advice, "when you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras." In other words, don't go for the crazy rare diagnosis if there's a much easier, more common explanation. EDS patients and fakers therefore fancy themselves the zebras the doctors have been trained to brush off as headcases. Sarah-Jean claims it's okay to use the zebra as her own mascot because the saying itself is not EDS-specific. The EDS fakers cry appropriation whenever it comes up. It's pretty fun if you like petty munchie slap fights.

She has a """service dog""" named Freckles that keeps running away from home. She also goes about her day independently without the dog quite often, a clear indication that she doesn't actually need it. She seems to not want most people to know she's trying to pass the dog off as a service dog because when she does have it with her it's often not wearing a vest, suggesting it has some behavior issue that make it clear the dog is just a pet. I'm not a dog behavior expert but its body language often looks stressed (hunched, licking nose, eyes darting, can't focus). She also uses a heavy, rigid bridge of the type used by the blind on guide dogs and people with major mobility issues when she does take it out, which is totally unnecessary. Freckles always looks like she wants to die.

She has a large collection of VOG-type dust masks in various colors and patterns that she wears most places but takes off to speak, shows off her meds/treatments and spends hours organizing supplies, films every doctor appointment, mentions her health every chance she gets, "faints" in public, and weaseled her way into supplemental oxygen for cluster migraines and a custom wheelchair for POTS her doctors told her over and over again she does not have. She is on cloud nine whenever she's given a new referral or a test or a toy, but any time she doesn't get exactly the news she wants from doctors (which is almost always) she has a crying temper tantrum on camera. She claims to be allergic to most opiates like all the munchies that want dilaudid. Also claims allergies to adhesives like many of them, because they all want Tegaderm specifically for whatever reason. She claims to know more about her health and medicine than every doctor she has ever seen and goes into appointments with exactly what she wants to be diagnosed with and how she wishes it treated already planned out. She admits she spends hours almost daily researching medical problems she thinks she might have. Her current YouTube theme music is from the soundtrack to the movie Five Feet Apart about two young people with cystic fibrosis who are dying tragically in hospitals and fall in love, quickly replacing The Fault in Our Stars as every munchie's favourite book/movie.

Sarah-Jean is also an obnoxious vegan and a scammer. She orders food and drinks but doesn't have the money to pay for them and cries her way out of it. She ran a fake animal sanctuary known as Happily Ever After and then as Sentient Souls and was accused of mistreating animals and misappropriating funds.

She's banned from the WalMart closest to her house for attempted shoplifting. She's a former cutter and likes to pull out the 'I almost relapsed because internet bullies!' narrative whenever challenged. She is a lesbian and her ex girlfriend, Caycee Breagel, was an animal hoarder whose property was full of hundreds of animals that were dead or dying. Between July 2017 and February 2018, Breagel adopted 144 cats (literally a gross of cats) and a dog from the Humane Society claiming she ran a rescue and shelter. In reality, the shelter was never opened though it had a physical location also full of starving animals and the rescue never really operated. She got probation for it. Sarah-Jean's animals piss, shit, and puke all over her dad's house and she acts like this is normal.

After Jaquie died, Sarah-Jean posted this ridiculous snot-faced crying video that put her into my crosshairs.

But her first video was from June of last year, titled "MAYO CLINIC VISIT FROM HELL" wherein she asked for a port for at-home IV saline for an undiagnosed condition her doctors don't believe she has and is tragically told "just drink more" and "eat some salt." Like a good spoonie, she then films herself crying hysterically and explaining all the reasons these common sense interventions will not work in her special case.

Her second video, she goes out with her father and is just fine, everything is great in 90º F heat and high humidity (later claims heat intolerance that precludes wearing compression garments and could basically kill her), but then when they get home she has a mysterious "episode" that she, praise Jesus, was able to grab the camera and film for us. She breathes heavy and looks dizzy for a few seconds, then a jump cut to her laying in bed where she tells us she was found curled up in a ball and shaking and they almost called 911 for her because of a panic attack.

In late June she did a stress test, everything was fine. During these early months, she vlogs only once every few weeks when she scams her way into a new test or procedure she can't wait to document.

June 28, she got her second tilt table test. The first was in Florida and she was fine other than being a baby about it. The second was at a hospital in Minnesota with her regular cardiologist who told her to drink water and wear compression garments if she was getting dizzy and also fuck off and wouldn't give her a third ablation. She claimed she became almost totally paralyzed by some medication during this one. She also had a test she thinks was a modified TTT at Mayo once, which also came back normal. Then in September she has a third full TTT at yer another hospital.

On July 8 in the video AM I GETTING WHEELS? she goes to some medical supply place to get compression garments she doesn't want to even try and already “knows” won't help her, and instead, while no one is watching her, tries out wheelchairs she admits she doesn't need.

But Holy Duping Delight, Batman! Two months later, she is over the moon at being approved for a custom wheelchair. She claims needs this chair because of MCAS and POTS, two conditions she is not diagnosed with that absolutely do not require a wheelchair, and in fact the latter would be helped by walking. In a surprise move, she rejects the Tilite Aero that every munchie gets and got a Quickie Series 7 instead. She does get the coveted Smartdrive. She only uses this when she wants to look sick at doctor appointments and other important places. Anywhere else it proves to be not as much fun as she thought. On Insta she estimates that she uses it about 25% of the time, but I think it's way less.

Despite that she was eating an entire vegan pizza by herself in June, by the end of July she's claiming major GI problems and hints she may have gastroparesis. She decides pursuing the Gastric Emptying Study, which requires her to eat eggs, is more important than her vegan ethics. She got her test and to the surprise of no one, she's fine.

In August she felt neglected so she had a panic attack that she swore was a "mini stroke." It wasn't, but she got a lot of attention at the ER for claiming it was.

(Farms does not like multiple embedded media so sorry, regular links now)

In September she got articulated knee braces and a referral to psych, lol.

In October, she gets her first IV saline infusion at Mayo and goes bananas because they only give her a 250mL bag, not the liter bags Jaquie and the rest of the bunch get. The doctor decides not to continue giving these infusions after the first, and even if he does, it will be at most 250mL once a week. Basically this doctor seems to want to shut her the fuck up. Days later she claims she fainted on her front lawn and was 'found lifeless’ to rationalize needing the life-saving salt water infusions.

The IV saline saga resumes. She wants a port and has decided she needs to advocate for herself to get one NOW. She complains advocates for herself until her doctor, who at first only wanted to give her the occasional 250mL when she was bitching, approves the 1L bags at home and starts the pre-op process for a port. She is very happy and can't decide whether to get PICC first or jump straight to a port.


She also sees a motility specialist who tells her the reason she feels like shit is because she's got IBS and hard poopies and is hyper-focusing on her health, so she gives her vitamins and stool softeners. She announces she's most likely getting a port so she starts buying storage boxes to organize her supplies that she doesn't have yet.

Bonus: she's starting to get call-out comments

And finally she gets her first home IV infusions and she is still not happy because it's not exactly what she wants. It's a peripheral line, she's not happy with how it's being delivered, and she is only approved for 500mL bags, plus they didn't give her all the fun extras that she sees all the other munchies get in their deliveries. She hounds the nurse until she gets all the stuff she wants (except 1L bags). As soon as she's given an IV pole, she decorates it with her "Beads of Courage," strings of plastic beads typically given to children who have really devastating conditions that keep them hospitalized/require lots of surgeries. She admits she does this because all the other cool munchies do it. Note: most of said cool munchies are 10-15 years younger than her.

In December, another Mayo holiday. This time for her second round of allergy tests (the first round was pre-Youtube). She admits trying to bait them to dx MCAS without saying "mast cell" lest they catch on. Lies about symptoms and doctor calls her on her bullshit, refuses to do more tests. She loses her shit until the doctor gives her the name of a dermatologist who will test her for "fragrance allergies.' She admits a doctor from this clinic she's going to today has already told her she doesn't have MCAS. Surprise! Allergist tells her she doesn't have MCAS, doesn't have major allergies, and they won't do anything else for her, which makes her chimp out as usual.


(bonus: crazy vegan stops to scrape a dead cat off the street and show us the corpse because she doesn't want people to run it over so she pulls it over to the grass because I don't know.)

The next day she has an early morning chimpout because she's still only getting 500mL bags of salt water. She shreiks at the doctor until he agrees to give her liter bags but he also informs her she will not be getting a PICC or port and calls her out for being a munchie. Like, point-blank says if he gives her a central line she'll want something else as soon as the novelty has worn off. She decides to shop for a new doctor even though it took her months to shop for this one. She goes to a doctor for fragrance testing despite having neither a referral or an appointment. She says she's going to lay on the bed and refuse to move until they test her. She finally leaves because they tell her there's no test or treatment for a fragrance allergy. But she tells them all her doctors think she has MCAS despite just telling people yesterday that no one thinks she has MCAS except her. She shops for a mast cell literate doctor (later admits she found one on a Facebook group for munchies who think they have MCAS).


bonus: the knitted piggie socks she is losing her mind over are by Jane and Bleecker and Jaquie was a huge fan of this brand, owning several styles, so of course, Sarah-Jean had to have them.

Her next video, three days later, she finally gets an allergy test. She drives 3 hours each way (six hours round trip) to Duluth to get it. Gets skin prick and 24 hour urine testing. She doesn't react on the test, she has no allergies, but somehow she is given an MCAS diagnosis just on her reported symptoms which she admits she lies about to get doctors to think she has MCAS. Oy. Doctor calls her out for reciting WebMD articles at him. She worries that the doctor thinks she's a munchie and will psych referral her so she dials back.

Around this time she shows off her medical storage, explaining that she hoards the leftovers from old tests and treatments she no longer needs and has started a collection of cutesy PICC covers despite never having a PICC.

On Christmas Eve she makes a long video teaching other munchies how they can get IV fluids, too.

She goes back to her MCAS doctor who tells her to take Zyrtec and Benadryl and gives her Epi pens for the emergencies she doesn't have, but won't give her Cromolyn (later says she has Cromolyn as if he gave it to her, but he did not). Hints she might have the beetus. Says she is simultaneously being prescribed prednisone by several doctors, which should never, ever happen if she's being transparent and admitting what drugs she is actually taking and who is treating her for what.
She took most of January off, but came back in the end to talk about her narcolepsy. She tries Xyrem and decides it didn't work after one night.

Because autism is now cool instead of that kid your mom made you invite to your birthday, and because Jaquie claimed to have it, Sarah-Jean wants it too. She deliberately plays stupid disorganized weird girl and complains that her hands are too ouchy to write during the testing. She fakes a panic attack and leaves before the test is done. She's allowed to take it home and told to sit down and take it all at once but decides she doesn't have to do that. Gets herself a 'tism spectrum 1 with severe verbal over-stimulation diagnosis.

February she decides to travel to Florida for nine days despite that she's definitely dying and thinks she might be getting a normie cold. She packed oxygen for some reason and TSA made her get rid of it. She draws a ton of attention to herself so she can complain about people talking about her. She wears a mask and takes it off to talk to the camera, negating the claimed purpose of wearing it. She has a panic attack and calls it anaphylaxis.

Her next vacation vee-log, which she titles "UNIVERSAL STUDIOS (DISABLED)" starts with her singing Mary Frey's port song. For those who don't regularly stalk sick people on the internet, Mary Frey has real cystic fibrosis and a port. Whenever her port is deaccessed she sings "I ain't got no needle in my chest, in my chest." Every munchie now sings it when their own port is deaccessed. Since Sarah-Jean is too obvious in her munching to get a port, she tragically must substitute "arm" for "chest" in her rendition as she removes her peripheral IV. Despite that she was just dying, she decides to go to Universal Studios for her birthday. I'm genuinely surprised that with how far up Chronically Jaquie's ass she is, she didn't decide to go to Magic Kingdom, as Universal is decidedly more grown up. She coughs a lot and makes her friends push her chair. She gets home and decides it was not what she wanted and she is disappointed. Should have gone to Disney.

In the February 13 masterfully titles "JUST A DAY IN THE LIFE | HEAVY MUCUS" she's back home. She jokes that she's going to ask Mary Frey, who I will remind you, has cystic fibrosis, what to do about her sniffles. Most of this video is just unpacking medical shit and complaining but at night she decides she's bored and goes to Urgent Care for her sniffles. Urgent Care tells her nothing is wrong but gives her an antibiotic to shut her up. Her next video she gets Cromolyn.

In March, her dad goes away to Belize for a week and her mother flies in from California to babysit her. She goes out to see Five Feet Apart like a good munchie and sees herself in the tragic story of love and illness.

Also in March her _zebrastrong instagram was removed with no reason given by IG. I've seen some PETA fags claiming it was them as revenge for her abusing the animals on her farm and being affiliated with Caycee the hoarder, and they banned her on the grounds that she was claiming to have a non-profit for the sanctuary but did not. I don't really believe it but if it's true it's also really funny. Unfortunately she started her journey to permanent sick kid on the deleted accounts (_zebrastrong and her animal rights account) and those posts are lost to the ages. However, she is very prolific on her new account, often posting more than once per day.

Here she justifies drinking despite being on multiple medications that say not to, because she's a grown up and you can't tell her what to do neener neener.



Using multiple devices to search out the problem that doesn't exist.


Losing her shit because her dad asks for help at the farm and she is too sick and fragile for that and fuck you, daddy, don't you understand? (pay my bills n walk my dogs for me tho)


She takes the rest of March off but came back for a cardio appointment in April where she explained that she doesn't have POTS because it doesn't show up on the tests and her cardio still doesn't want to give her a port despite all her whining, her two ablations might have not been necessary either, and she fails to understand the placebo effect.


On April 28, Jaquie died and Sarah-Jean uploaded her eulogy which, to be fair, was still more respectful than Jan's. After this, she transitions to daily vlogs hoping to grab the Munchie Queen's tarnished crown. She also made this insta post that Jan liked.

Brain on Fire/tumor saga starts. The day after her Jaquie video she starts complaining about nosebleeds and not able to English goodly. She doesn't want to take a chance this is serious because Jaquie just died. However, this doctor tries say she's depressed and she gets pissed and goes home. She smacks herself in the face with her IV pump and this is supposed to be proof that she's really super sick with something gravely serious. The next day she's at neurology being told, again, that she's fucking fine. Once again, she walks out "very pissed off" because she doesn't get attention for faking a neurological problem. He gives her Zoloft and she won't take it. She tells her audience once again that they know better than doctors. A couple days later she makes a video about how dumb this stupid doctor is for stupidly prescribing her Zoloft like a dumb moron.

When she did her 'tism testing she also had a psych consult and in May she got the results from it. Surprise, they think she's somatizing, immature, low-average intelligence, and low verbal comprehension. Diagnosis: ASD1 with mild language impairment,OCD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Schizotypical Personality Features, unspecified communication disorder (provisional).

In late May, after her nosebleeds and brain on fire stopped getting her attention, her snatch started rotting and she was definitely dying this time. No, wait, it was fine. Still struggling to get attention, she latches on to another dead person, this time a little girl with Rett Syndrome and severe facial deformities, by taking a video of herself on the fucking toilet and crying in her bed. She still wants a port and whines incessantly about how her unnecessary salt water infusions are ruining her veins but her meanie head doctor still won't help her.

When this still wasn't giving her attention she "faints" on camera at a flea market. Has a meltdown because a turkey in the street keeps almost getting hit by cars because it keeps running into traffic.

Recently on insta, she's complaining about a guinea pig allergy as if this is a sure sign she has MCAS. Fun Fact: many people who work in a research facility with animals end up allergic to guinea pigs and rabbits, some after just a few exposures, but it's not life threatening. Just annoying.. You're not special, Sarah-Jean.

And here's her diagnosis series of videos, something else she took from Jaquie:
My Life Story
MCAS
POTS
Narcolepsy
IBS/Gastritis
OCD/Tourettes
Autism
Depression/BPD
Not-Cancer

Thank you I hope you enjoy my new friend. I will be keeping an eye on her because this kind of blatant diagnosis/treatment-seeking behavior is what I fucking live for.

Hey you figured out how to post! Welcome to the farms!

Kate farms is actually a really shitty formula and most people 'fail' it. It almost killed Mary Frey because it wasn't compatible with her enzyme cartridges. It also clogs tube pumps unless you water it down.

Ohhhh I didnt know that!! Thank you for correcting me!!! Regardless, tho, the fact she has failed like 5 or 6 formulas in just a couple months (she "fails" them on day 2 or 3). It just seems super fishy. And that she has broken at least 3 tubes in just a couple months is also an eyebrow raise! I mean, in theory it can happen, but with her outrageous behavior and need for attention (all her share for shares and pleading for you tube viewers) it smells a little fishy!

Oh, here's the rub:
1) she's gaining weight from the formula and it's making her mad, so she "fails" them all/has to water them down and run them at an excruciatingly slow pace
2) she thinks if she "fails" enough they'll give her TPN like all the cool munchies get
3) to get TPN, she will have to finally get the port she's been after for months.


lol

vaginal atrophy

lol

That's a quick response, we "started talking about her again" less than 12 hours ago. Unless she's got a thread?


edit so im not double posting

"My eye disease is so rare that it's illegal to diagnose" is the funniest thing I've ever heard a munchie say.

That post also reminded me (for whatever reason) that portable ultrasound is getting really cheap. Theoretically it's in the munchie price range now. They're getting all these expensive-ass wheelchairs when they could be having REAL fun sitting in their rooms all day playing spot the tumor.

Does she know if she gets TPN she'll have no control over her feeds and she'll get even fatter? I sometimes wonder which is more important to her - her most-severe-case-in-NJ-anorexia or her munchie toys? She seems to go back and forth.
