What is wrong with her mouth? Where are her lips?

The "Thrushapocoylpse" she posts about must've gotten them.

Edit to avoid double post:
Toenail surgery, poopy week, ER for dehydration, new GJ and J tube, 5 appts in a day, a rainbow poop emoji stained glass panel, and a jug of pee in the fridge. Oh and classic pouty face with crying emojis. Look at the view counts--who does this so 14 people will watch? I guess she got too old for ED clinics to be fun?

 

[Kate Farms Shill]

Yeah Nina, that’s what happens when you get fat and fuck up your hormones. Try getting your ponderous ass out of the wheelchair you don’t need and going for a walk.

She's gonna fit in here just fine. Her nails deserve their own thread.

I think Mama Nails would approve of those claws

LMAO she always has her Bluetooth earbud thing in too. I'm proud of myself for finding her.

Is this a dexcom? I can't watch vids right now.

Damn, that's a pathetic view count. Way to put your body through hell for almost no one to give a shit.

I'm thinking with her it's less about the views, more about justifying her eating disorder to herself and others.

Pretty sure the bulk of her IG followers are purchased as well. What a waste. Of everything.

"Idopathic Hypersomina" AKA marijuana hyperemesis syndrome's brother. It is Again a diagnosis of exclusion from a completely normal sleep study.

I’ll delete this if it’s already been said (catching up still) but this isn’t entirely true. A very low sleep latency on an MSLT (in a patient with adequate sleep and no drugs in their system) isn’t normal. If the person goes into REM sleep the diagnosis is narcolepsy, if they don’t it’s IH. But being able to fall asleep fast during multiple naps without being sleep deprived isn’t normal, and some of the treatments used for IH aren’t things that would help a normal person. They’ve used the benzo overdose drug for it with good results (forget the name).

If your overnight sleep study AND MSLT are totally normal, odds are a doctor would diagnose chronic fatigue over IH. IH is basically used for people who can demonstrate that they’re as sleepy as narcoleptics on a test, but who don’t show any of the REM abnormalities.

I return with part two of Amanda Winig's 29th Birthday Spectacular!

Awww, I got low key included in one of those screenshots. I'm honored.

Yeah girlfriend totally scored herself a Dexcom

I chose one of Chronically Jenn's videos at random and holy shit is she OTT. (And has super long finger toes)

She doesn't explain it really in the video but what she had done was part of the root of her toenail was taken out to make the nail narrower and fit better into the nail bed and then they put stuff on it to stop it from growing (can't remember the name, it's in embalming fluid) which prevents further ingrown toenails.

It's not the same as getting a regular ingrown toenail removed but it's nowhere near as bad as she makes out. Not surgery either. The only bad part is getting the numbing injection because it goes in between the joint of your big toe, one on top one on the bottom. The next couple of days it feels like there's a stone under your toe where the injection sight is, it's weird.

Slight powerlevel but I've had this done four separate times (Each side of big toes) and it's no big deal at all. (Don't drop heavy things on your toes, it can fuck up how your nails grow)

Y'all gonna love me and the munchies are about to get PISSED when I depart this little nugget of knowledge. There are really no true muscle relaxants on the market. Why is that? Because what happens if I cause your muscles to stop contracting as much? Oh, you will stop breathing and your heart will relax. So, you’re asking what IS Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine). It is marketed as a skeletal muscle relaxer but guess what it most closely resembles molecularly? Tricyclic Antidepressants.

So, Flexeril’s closest relative is amitriptyline, just one molecule away. But it’s cousin is Trazadone, a tricyclic antidepressant. It is not a sedative. But, it does give a mild sedative like effect to make some people sleepy. (IIRC about 30%). So it is often one of the first line of treatments used for people who are having trouble sleeping, and used for nothing else, because it is very piss-poor at resolving most depressive symptoms.

So, ironically (or not), it is given to people who complain about muscle spasms because it just tends to make them feel relaxed and works on seretonin. Drugs like amitriptyline, cymbalta, and Flexeril are excellent at relieving centralized pain that’s coming from the brain and is from the body’s gatekeeping system being overrun with its own epinephrine. Amplified pain Syndrome is what that is usually called. It can be common in EDS, but also in depression, fibromyalgia (real condition) and other things.

You should see the outrage in the fibro community when a doctor recommends amitriptyline and light exercise despite the fact that studies suggest this as a course of treatment.

Sounds too much like effort.


I think we see this a lot in the munchie community. It's easier to claim you're sooper dooper sick and you *need* your toobs than it is to go swimming and eat a balanced diet for some of these people.

Same! It is so not a surgery and absolutely the worst part is the numbing injections. I think the acid is called phenol? Not sure. But her dramatization of everything is hilarious.

You're right, it's phenol. I guess technically it's a "surgery" but only OTTs would call it that. It's all under local anaesthetic, except for Jaq who probably had a ketamine trip instead.

Skinwalker reported me to the reddit police and scrubbed her facebook within the last couple hours. Mom also scrubbed facebook. End of an era for me.

Half of this video is her filming herself AT WORK. I know we've all had at least one batshit coworker but...damn. presumably other people work there and can hear her talking in a baby voice to a bucket of scrungy toe water.

Is this a dexcom? I can't watch vids right now.

Yes, it is a G6 transmitter specifically.
-------------------------------
Pretty sure Dexcom is only FDA approved for patients with diabetes mellitus. Why does she need this? diabetic patients actually make treatment decisions and insulin adjustments with this data. I see Mary F as the inspiration for this. I also notice she is totally wasteful with these. Diabetic patients extend sensor life and treat sensors as items of value network on how to optimize calibration etc. I don't even see any of these girls using anything besides carbs to treat their hypos. I don't even see glucagon being used. Lots of people who are conscious, self admin glucagon. Dexcom sensors are the tip of the iceberg with these girls wastefulness. Sensors are expensive though and there are lots of tips and tricks to maximize effectiveness.

Alexa, play the song from the SPCA commercial.

She'll be back. That attention is like crack. She will need her fix eventually.

This is what ran through my head as my mouse hovered over the "post reply" button

Voy a aumentar los mares con mí llanto!
Adiós mujer. Adiós para siempre... adiós!

No use crying over spilled TPN. Speaking of ...



I think she's trying to nab an EDS dx again. Rheumatoid arthritis must not get her enough toys and pills.

My favorite part is "And no i havent gotten it checked im playing doctor lol." Especially with the backdrop of the charming teal medicalesque furniture. You can tell she really thought this one through, and is building some history on her account so that when she goes for EDS, it's legitimate "becuz look at how I'm suffering from muh condishuns - it's been so long!"

PS: That song is excellent.
