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

[oliver91]

Can someone explain CCI? I mean, is it a legitimate diagnosis or just one of those weirdo things that isn’t recognized in medical community?

I have to powerlevel but I had to have 2 cervical discs replaced (this is a better alternative to fusion). I don’t understand how CCI is any different than herniated discs.

Edit: never mind I get it now, it’s more of a symptom. So these twits are fusing their necks without any evidence of problems??? That is batshit crazy!

This is bullshit. It can give a high, and be addictive, but you can only get a high off of a couple days in a row max. The rate of tolerance the brain builds to it is extremely high. This makes the ability to abuse it rather limited.

Any fear mongering article written about it is 99% wrong. Gabapentin has been prescribed for literal decades now, very commonly. Lyrica is almost identical to Gabapentin in chemical structure and effects. The only reason why anyone cares about it it now is because journalists need to scare people over the opiate crisp is.

No one cares about your medical knowledge, this isn’t webmd. So get off your fucking soap box and either shut up or post some actual interesting shit about the munchies discussed

Once you finish Yaniv dig into Russell Greer. He's legitimately disabled (Möbius Syndrome, paralysis of two of the cranial nerves that makes him unable to make facial expressions and gives him a speech impediment) and uses this to try to guilt trip celebrities like Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande demanding they fuck him, then sues them when they ignore him. His greatest hit was blowing $4000 to "woo" a prostitute by taking her to Olive Garden and running out the clock there so he didn't even get his tiny mormon chode serviced. He then tried to sue her and lost; she was awarded a restraining order. This level of human failure is unfathomable sometimes, and yet he shamelessly documents it all for us.

You realize medfagging is allowed and encouraged here, right? Did we not just go over how this is not Reddit? We have a CF expert who goes into extremely technical descriptions of why various fakers are big fat phonies, ER docs explaining the "tells" munchies have, what have you. It's actually very useful information for those of us too dumb to make it through med school to help us identify these sometimes subtle differences between what the truth is and what the munchies claim.

Medication/medical knowledge is a very useful thing to add to this thread as it helps us see through munchie bs

Not sure why mad at this.
The power level part yes.
The medical knowledge no.

[homewayhalf]

Lameandgay2 is one of our finest soldiers in the war against Munchausen-by-Proxy mom Susan Schofield and her powerleveling has been tolerated since time immemorial. It has become part of farms culture, much the same way as deadnaming and doxing are.

So chill.

The Schofield thread is a fucking joke though lol. If regular kiwis bothered to look at it they’d rate every post mad on the internet or power level but it’s full of idiots who write fan fiction letters to Jani and Bodhi. That thread is so fucking autistic lol. Please don’t make that thread our Kiwi norm.

Someone I follow on instagram abuses gabapentin although i always get the feeling from her that she's just being an edgelord. Her medical problems are undoubtedly real and very visible, but christ, if she isn't always having some weepy woe-is-me crisis about how much it sucks to live her life which invariably ends in her taking a handful of gabapentin. Her description of it makes it sound on par with taking a handful of benadryl: you'll get loopy but also a lot of fucking weird unpleasant side effects.

Yeah the love letters are over the top, and the people suggesting the farms send Jani birthday presents, wtf. I'm glad the kids aren't in that house anymore too but christ. Some threads are just like that, especially anything topical like the Schofields or Yaniv, because they draw in normies who can't get the news about it anywhere else. Eventually those people duck out and the thread either dies or is taken over by dedicated kiwis.

It's kind if understandable in those threads though because there are children involved. The start if this thread was like that too though with the mods having to step in multiple times to stop people from power levelling. Sure it's a little more lax here than other threads because a lot of the time it gives some insight into a condition or treatment but you'd be ran out of other threads quick enough for it because in general it's against the site culture.

There's also a lot of emotions in finding someone lying about a disorder that's having a real negative impact on your life. I understand how your knee-jerk reaction is to be personally offended and make the post about yourself. But you kinda have to grow that distance between yourself, the sick person, and yourself, the anonymous online entity, because posting a missive about your personal struggle just makes you sound like the munchies you criticize. (Not you personally, obviously, just speaking generally.) That said, it's not that difficult to give useful insight without powerleveling.

Yes: A person with such severe gastrointestinal motility issues that they need to be on TPN would not be able drink a blueberry crisp latte.
No: I've been on TPN for four years since my entire GI system shut down, 97% of my food was left in my stomach at the end of a 6 hour GES, doctors said it was the worst case of GP they'd ever seen, and I would never drink a blueberry crisp latte. I would be in excruciating pain and nausea if I tried and last time I drank a latte I got so sick I had to be hospitalised after I blacked out and cracked my head on the bathroom sink. She's so lucky she doesn't have the problems she claims because TRUST ME it's NOT FUN when you can't pick and choose when it affects you!!

Could you provide insta for this Melanie? She sounds in worse shit than Tonia

Good lord. Imagine going through this much pain, travel, multiple surgeries, life threatening complications, and prolonged hospital stays for attention.

She has the face of a 50 year old bus driver or a night shift convenience store clerk or something. Someone who hasn't had an easy life, whose facebook feed is all updates from some fake slot machine game, but who is trying to get back out in that dating game with some dolled up selfies.

 

[thirsttrap12345]

I don’t think that was owerlevelimg I was genuine ly asking what was wrong with Lyrica nd if she has experience that’s a good thing. She’s right about weight gain and also withdrawals THAT I HAVE heard is horrendous

Here’s the thing- we don’t care. And we don’t have to pretend to care. It’s the beauty of this forum.

 

[Sooper Speshul Southerner]

Holy shit, I'm gone for a few days and the garbage pile is overflowing. There's so much to catch up on.

 

[mooserangerofthenorth]

The scar isn't even remotely straight. Even most experienced of surgeons that is a lot levels to do. Does anyone what kind of line that is? It's clearly not an epidural but very odd to slap a sticker of the med on her back.

One of the stickers says "Fentanyl 50 micrograms/hour." No clue what the line is, and my experience watching Grey's Anatomy isn't giving me any ideas. The second sticker (with red print) does seem to be securing the line to her skin somehow, though I agree that it's super weird for them to stick it on her back.

That scar is fucking horrifying. It looks like she had her entire C spine and shoulder done. What the hell back doctor did she go to?

 

[mooserangerofthenorth]

It's a sticker used in ICU settings for PCA pumps when patients receive a constant amount. I think they connect to the front tunneled catheter. Just that sticker is USELESS on her back if they need the drip rate in a code.

Maybe it's a Ketamine drip?

It is nowhere near as addictive or dangerous as opiates, but it isn’t harmless either. The danger comes especially when it is mixed with opiates or benzodiazepines.

You contradict yourself by saying that it gives a high and can be addictive but the abuse potential is limited. The abuse (misuse) potential of a drug is not defined by how long it gets you high or the tolerance rate.

Data has linked gabapentin to overdose deaths where it was used in conjunction with opioids.

She has a fucking dial-a-flow, which I haven't heard of in a good 10+ years.

So with medications you need to control how fast they're going into an IV. Every modern first world hospital with a balanced budget that doesn't want to get sued uses IV pumps for this purpose now.

Back in the day before IV pumps, and at small poor hospitals without enough IV pumps to go around, you would know how much fluid one drop held in the type of tubing you were using and do math and count drops and use the roller clamp on the tubing to control how fast the drops are dripping and thus how fast the med was going in.

This clearly wasn't safe. The roller clamp could be bumped or manipulated or the IV could be positional. Plus bad math meant bad dosing.

So for a hot minute dial-a-flows were invented. They go on IV tubing and you dial in how fast you want it to go in. It's worse than a pump in every way: easily manipulated by the patient or family, no air in line detection, no under delivery protection, and no medication dosing guidelines built in like modern pumps (ie, tell it you're giving heparin and it won't let you program it at 500ml/hr).

Tl;Dr: this chick is at some backasswards hospital.

Edited to add: the sticker isn't the name of the med infusing, that's a fentanyl patch unrelated to the line.
