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

[WarpedTourWasFun]

I personally know (as in, lives near me, been friends over 10 years, one of my concert buddies) someone who has classical EDS, but amazingly, she just acts like a regular person. Sure, she has to take breaks and stay in the shade, but then she just goes about her life.
It's almost like her disability isn't the only thing in her life. Go figure.

 

[Kate Farms Shill]

Yes, that’s who I was referring to. I dunno if chronically.Amy has been tested. I’m sure you do tho KFS. She is way way way OTT and has definitely harmed herself via ED behavior, even if she does have EDS, which I tend to believe she has.

Edit to add: on the subject of Mickey, I will be curious to know if she has more than just cEDS. If not, I find it strange she has so much instability and pain. In long term care, I haven’t seen many people with cEDS present with much pain and instability at least until much much older. It could be possible she has some other problem like muscular atrophy/ dystrophy or more likely she is just influenced by the munches. Even in the Hypermobile population, that has fragile nerves and increased pain as a presenting feature, I think you would be hard-pressed to find someone willing to put that kind of bracing on someone outside scoliosis.

yeah, I also know a person with legit diagnosed cEDS who thinks Mickey is exaggerating on purpose for views and asspats for exactly that reason. I don't know that it's on purpose but... Either she has an extreme case, something else is going on, or she’s not as sick as she claims/thinks she is.

edit: crap wrong Amy. I don't believe a word that Chronically.Amy says. This is the same kid who used to claim she had terminal CF with a lung function of 27%.

Avoiding double post, Sarah-Jean gave me a real wonderful present for making it through a shit week.

1) she’s mad because a church she placed a donation box at called her to pick it up and it wasn’t full.
2) she’s mad because her dad (who she lives with and who pays all her bills are takes her dogs for walks etc) made her garden in the heat but she’s sure her doctor will tell him she’s far too heat intolerant for this (she says wearing a hoodie in 90° heat and humidity)
3) she picks up her medical records and finds out her doctor thinks she’s a munchie and all her symptoms are caused by medications she doesn’t need. He won’t do any more invasive treatments because nothing helps and is pissed that she hasn’t gone to psych yet. She brings him printouts about diseases she thinks she has because you know, fuck your medical degree, and is infuriated that he won’t read them. She decides she never wants to see this doctor and she wants to move away, “start from scratch”, pretending she’s never been to a doctor or heard of any of the medical conditions she wants, she wants to stop taking all her meds and “let herself fall apart.” She gets a referral to a POTS doctor from him but it sounds like she is being sent to confirm she doesn’t have POTS.
4) her last doctor also pisses her off but she doesn’t explain his insult to this delicate willing flower

its boggling that these people refuse to see the obvious with their behavior and how medical professionals respond according but damn i do love a persistent cow. claiming they dont doctor shop or seek out diagnosis or drugs yet openly admitting they 'fired' a doctor and will stop meds and 'start from scratch' (not letting the new victim have access to their info) but thats not manipulation and malingering?

He won’t do any more invasive treatments because nothing helps

spoonies love to feel like they are little medical mysteries. i think of jaquie and aubrey as big examples but its incredible that these people get treatment after treatment, grab bags of medication and worrying amounts of surgery but somehow but none of them ever see any sort of improvement after the afterglow week of selfies run out. the excuse that doctors have no first hand understanding of what its like to live with eds uwu or pots or whatever therefor they dont know properly how to treat it is garbage.

good on that doc. why risk wasting insane amounts of time and money on their livelihood so these girls can pretend that they are making a difference and inspiring people on weekly whims? so selfish

Holy Hell, you’re a gift to us all. My autocorrect might have messed up. Which one are you referring to? I meant chronically.ams, the ED one who has the vlog Amy’s Life. That’s the one who claimed terminal CF?!

God, these bitches and their identical user names. Chronically.Ams/Amy Lee Fisher definitely has an ED and joint hypermobility but I'm leaning hard towards her not having EDS, HKPP and the other rare n' shiny things she claims. Pretty sure that she's manufacturing all of her problems. I don't really follow her though. This is roughly what I originally wrote but then I saw that you wrote Chronically.Amy which is the screenname Amy Banek/Amy's Journey used to use, so I rewrote it. Banek also claims hEDS and has a raging eating disorder. In her early history she liked to claim she had CF, she was terminal, her lung function was 27%, and even filmed her mom doing "chest PT" on her before too many people called her out and she changed her story and deleted the evidence. Now she's on the hEDS/POTS/MCAS/GP train.

To review:
Fisher: possibly full of shit, definitely OTT
Banek: Totally full of shit, definitely bad at lying

PISSIN ME ORF! I wonder if she's even involved with that church community in any way. It's way rude of her to mock them when they did a nice thing for her.

Her bronx accent and inability to use words properly makes her so much more beautiful in my eyes.

I'm pretty sure she asks various places in the area for donations for her care packages that she sends out. She's never mentioned being religious from what I've watched.

spoonies love to feel like they are little medical mysteries... the excuse that doctors have no first hand understanding of what its like to live with eds uwu or pots or whatever therefor they dont know properly how to treat it is garbage.

I think these chronically.girlname spoonies know, somewhere deep down, that at least most of doctors they encounter are giving appropriate care and will eventually see through their bullshit. Despite that, they continue to push for more expensive and more invasive treatments, I assume as some sort of feedback loop to affirm their delusions and, certainly, to get those orgasmic, plentiful asspats online. The most egriguous part of their behavior (other than wasting medical supplies/professionals' time and wasting public funds to engage in their delusions) is the fact that these women question their doctors who are just doing the right, ethical thing; if a doctor's oath is to do no harm, then their oath is not to jump to immediate intensive medication and immediate invasive treatment, even if the patient is screaming for it.

Sometimes, even when in chronic pain, it's best to wait a bit to figure out the root cause or figure out a trigger in order to properly treat the issue with the end goal of resolving it as effectively as possible. These women want immediate results and rush into these insane surgeries for, really, incredibly insignificant reasons. JaqJaq paid the ultimate price for her hubris and I assume we'll see more in the near future with similar fates.

You can only slice and dice the human body so much before it gives out. This isn't a teen movie and none of these women are the tragic spoonie lead heroine of the movie. They will not find true happiness and fulfillment in treatment like seen in the movies- they'll just find isolation and potentially death. I assume many of them do just wish for death once the jig is up and the asspats and medical attention run out.

I know y'all #spoonies are reading here. Stop, get some help.

Sarah-Jean posted another video in the middle of the night.

-She discovers Aldi, finds they have veggie burgers, is thrilled as if this never happens (what kind of ghetto-ass grocery store doesn't have frozen veggie burgers in 2019?) until she finds that one of the varieties has cheese. How dare they create products for mere vegetarians!
-Makes a scene, goes into the bathroom to cry. Gets mad that Dad doesn't come looking for her. Hogs the bathroom for a long time because fuck anyone else who needs to actually pee on the grand opening of this grocery store.
-Her dad has to fix a leaky roof during a torrential downpour and she feels so bad she can't help him. But really, it's his problem so why should she?
-Her fake chicken tendies don't taste as good as she'd like.
-She screams (her word) at paypal reps and gloats about how great it feels to know how to do their job better than they do.
-Her home care nurse has to re-reschedule putting in a new IV for useless saline infusions after Sarah-Jean already rescheduled her. This is a huge inconvenience for our heroine. Cue dramatic sighs.
-She exploit's a child's cancer death for asspats. This child's death has her rattled, since they were so close. So close that Sarah-jean can't even remember what fucking country she lived in.
-She lays down because her eyes are so sensitive she can't even open them and her whole left leg is dealing with restless leg syndrome. Looks like she's reviving the eye disease that's so rare it's illegal to diagnose.

She's so entitled that if she wasn't also like, clinically stupid I'd think she was a troll. Also, look at the twinkle in her eye when she talks about the dead kid, like you can almost see her wishing she had something terrible and terminal.

 

[Crimewatcher 44]

Wow, she's a piece of work. Of course, there were crowds at a grand opening! WTF did she expect? Then she proceeds to exploit the death of a child for asspats. Disgusting.

They remind me of the Pastor who took photos in heaven with his Samsung Galaxy

South African preacher mocked after charging for 'heavenly' photos

A self-styled prophet with a history of amazing claims has stretched credulity with his latest boast.

Also, she did a video for Mental Health Awareness:

Yes, she really posted a video lecturing folks on mental health wearing rainbow furry animal ears and multicolored pigtails.

Latest medical update video, poor dear's medicare was stopped.

Sometimes I get overwhelmed by this site because there is so much good content, I don’t know who to respond to first. That pastor taking pics in heaven with his phone is utterly hysterical and diabolical. Reminds me of that pastor who was selling tickets to heaven. If heaven is real, and the Bible is accurate, these brothers are in serious trouble lol.

I don’t know why but I am sort of fascinated and enamored
by the pastel shitstain. She has a haircut like what your sibling gave you while sleeping, has a tricked out pastel wheelchair and plays with dolls all day. Lol, it is just sort of horrifying but amazing that people are living this kind of life.

This fucking narcissist though really has no redeeming qualities. I think she might be my favorite munchie though lol.

If you ask me, she belongs in a padded room. The way she talks about her dad infuriates me. I hate her yet love her antics at the same time. Damn you!!

TBH I think I would watch her even without the medical stuff, she's truly bizarre.

She went seamlessly from suckling off the tragic cancer death of a child - "who, like, didn't even sound sick" - to talking about her fucking food. I WANT this bitch to die next, she is the worst.

After Laurie posted her update on Morgan, Morgan also posted her own status about her surgery/recovery, seemingly to make the procedure seem more dramatic than it was

Someone mentions her mom’s status in Morgan’s IG comments and Morgan is forced to admit that the doctor didn’t do the surgery because her pyloric was open enough to not need it. Not because he said it wouldn’t do anything as Morgan claimed. She will do anything for a little extra attention.



.

Day 2, Morgan again would hate anyone to get the notion that she is improving. If you have followed Morgan for even a little bit, you notice she never mentions a good day or good periods of health. She bounces around from stomach issues to heart issues (when she claimed she was dying and had a heart rate of almost 500) to the dozens of other ailments that she claims to have been diagnosed with.
