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

It was a valiant effort. We salute your sacrifices made. Here’s hoping (give me all the bows) an insider one day joins us to leak.

I had some minor leakage but nothing that great.

apparently a bunch of people have been calling her out and she’s accusing them all of being me.

Girl, calm down. Everything I posted about you is or was made freely available online to to the public. You don’t know me, you haven’t had me on any of your friend lists since 2018. Anyone with an interest in your life, time, and some google skills could have done this.
 
How unlucky can a person get? Just throw the whole person away.



I didn't think she actually had an RA DX these are her meds:

Aristada - anti psychotic
Sertraline - anti-depressant
Amitiza - for constipation
Clonazepam - tranquilizer
Buspar - for anxiety
Miralax mix - laxative
Dicyclomine- for IBS spasms
Midodrine - for low blood pressure
Rantidine- to reduce stomach acid
Amitriptyline - anti depressant
Rizatryptan - for migraines
Aprepitant - anti-nausea/ vomiting
Amivog - for migraines
Tylenol - pain relief

Nothing for arthritis but amitriptyline is used for Fibro though. Unless she got her DX since we found her tube fed bookworm insta she's not being treated for RA. IIRC her blood work didn't show the markers and to have something like seronegative arthritis where the markers don't show up in blood her joints would be very obviously inflamed, we're taking clawed hands and feet, you wouldn't be able to fake it. I don't doubt that she went to a rheumatologist but all those psych meds make me think she's being treated for her 10/10 pain.
Agreed about unlucky, but the worst situation I’ve encountered was a kid who had both vascular and Hypermobile EDS and brain cancer. Sad. Sad. Sad.

In our house we have the phrase, “If they were a horse, they would’ve been put down already.” Welp, substitute Zebra for horse, in this case.
 
Since you didn’t dox her on Reddit, what does that accomplish?

Same thing PW and MBIr banning me from IllnessFakers for taunting them here did: absolutely nothing except make me laugh and be slightly more determined to get a leak.

I almost did, too. Because she is a horrible person who very few people can stand to be around, some of Amanda's "friends" were willing to keep eyes on me for her but alas, she's blocked all but a handful of people and accused anyone who looks at her sideways of being me. Which is its own kind of funny: not only was everything I posted made public, mostly by her, but every single receipt I used was still available online when i posted. I could have linked to every single post, either on her own accounts or on the old LCF threads or in the news. Absolutely any person in the world with internet access and a little bit of time could have assembled most of that, although not the anecdotal stuff I remember seeing that has since been deleted or stuff I heard through the Central Florida grapevine. While I have been following her since the LCF days, I haven't had access to any of her private accounts since shortly after she closed off her spoonielife_amanda account.

I thought genetics wouldnt cross over there TIL. Wonder what quack gave Dani her diagnoses of RA then. Unless she actually has it??
I’ve seen some in truechronicillness and the rheumatoidarthritis subreddit claim that docs have gave diagnoses of RA even though there’s no blood work because I definitely have arthritis symptoms and have 10/10 pain etc.
I mean to say there’s probably people munching their way to a diagnoses of it somehow.

Dani had a positive RA factor which is not truly indicative of having the disease plus complaints of persistent pain and factitious/self-induced joint inflammation. My guess is she went to enough doctors complaining of this until she found one that was overtired, stressed, and had more important things to do than worry about whether this gross, grimy human was faking or not and that doctor said "sure, RA, whatever" and prescribed her Plaquenil.

How unlucky can a person get? Just throw the whole person away.



I didn't think she actually had an RA DX these are her meds:

She has Plaquenil now. She was diagnosed right before the bookworm account disappeared and she has shown the bottle. I'll try to find it in my archive later.

Today's video involves a charming combo of her positively dying due to joint pain, her doctor basically telling her that she's fine, and her magical recovery so she can do fun stuff with her friends.

  • She has four appointments this week, so buckle up for that adventure, everyone!
Thank god, maybe we'll get some worthwhile content to mock.


ETA: apparently and completely unbeknownst to me until I posted my retrospective, Amanda had been getting a bunch of callouts although I haven't gotten to the bottom of what they were about. Before she scrubbed her facebook I was able to confirm that she and Julian as well as Ashley Anne (the redhead from her race photos who is also a spoonie warrior) were no longer friends and very likely blocked. I'm guessing either "I'm on TPN but I can still drink lattes as long as I exercise purge on my handcycle" or "my mom is working my 'retired' service dog" was the tipping point for people. Or both.

Looking through her Instagram I strongly suspect she is purposefully calibrating low to always make it look like she's having severe lows. Her readings are essentially flat lines between 40-70. She never posts any pictures of glucometers, just the Dexcom.
That's so wasteful. So many people who actually need a CGM don't have access and don't feel right paying out of pocket. What is the URL to her Instagram?
 
I have a mtf troon Munchie who's also a kind of cow crossover situation.
Meet Mika aka Michael Wedge claims EDS, ADHD, DID (or wolf otherkin?), Anorexia and lung problems.

Former Twitter archives:

Of course there's a sleeping selfie.

I know! Boy do I love fat anorexics
I've seen several MTFs that are built like refrigerators try to claim anorexia. I don't know whether it's because it's a "girl" disease or if it's because it fits with the dysmorphia narrative or what, but commit or get the fuck out. Really not that hard to stop eating junk food and go for a walk and at least show some weight loss.

Just saw this, sorry! She’s @chronicallyjennkacey and has 9000 mostly-purchased followers.

This might be late, but a big NYT feature about a guy who went big with the faking brain cancer shit. Took a page from Belle Gibson. Figure some in this thread would like to read it. Funny, the local outlets in Columbus aren't giving this nearly the same level of attention, probably because they helped promote his shit for years.

A gay man faker who claims he’s bi-polar. While it appears he did take some money, it was mostly about attention. It’s amazing he got away with it so long because just reading what he claimed about his cancer(s) and his biking sends up red flags everywhere. Dude did not do his homework to be believable at all.

The Real Housewives of OC had a male munchie on a couple seasons and it really fell flat in the drama. It could have gone so much further and exposed even better. All those idiots were duped and only realized it by end of season. Poor Vicki just wanted a damn casserole out of it. Not sure what the munchie’s intentions were.

Basically they are smart enough to only claim anorexia and not anorexia nervosa but also dumb enough to expect the world think they have AN. Here is the difference [/QUOTE]anorexia definition (2).PNG [/QUOTE]-Link for image

at least they aren't a refrigerator anorexic but why brother purchasing followers when you could run a slightly pro Ana account

The mystical two kinds at once! EDS munchies seem to crave vEDS more than anything else especially when chasing diagnosis in the first place, but the couple of people I've seen who actually have it aren't OTT about it at all.
 
Lmao autie has taken her stim dancing in public to the streets of Chester and has compared it to a civil rights movement.... ok hun.

Dancing here

Edit: Bonus points if you spot the old woman with a walking stick side eyeing her

I want to think the British have no tolerance for this absurd public attention whoring. Or does she take advantage of their politeness? I can only hope some chav teenagers get a load of her antics.

I watched the full 15 minute-ish version. Saw 2 different people using forearm crutches give her the serious what the fuck side eye. Still no sign of any joint hyperextension in all her dancing. No difficulty getting up from the full kneeling position mid dance. Did she claim she had 300 hundred people watching her? L
