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

[Cold Waffle]

S-J made an Instagram post addressing her Munchausen accusations and it's packed with quality content. It's part 1 of 2, so there's more to come. The crowd goes wild.

Greatest hits include:

Well guess what buttheads that happens with chronic illness and terminal illness.

She is in her thirties, but "buttheads" is how she addresses those that criticize her. I'm continually amazed by her low mental age.

Well, last night I was crying so hard I had creamy stuff coming from my eyes.

I'm sorry what? I'm no doctor, but I feel like "creamy stuff" coming out of your eyes is a pretty big red flag. Pinkeye will cause crusties and goopy eye. Did she cry her way to pinkeye? Maybe she rubbed her eyes one too many times with her crusty fingernail crud.

Since age 13 I have had problems with my cervix and knees. I spent endless embarrassing hours on the floor screaming in high school waiting for ambulance to save me.

This mental image is an interesting one. Messed up knees in high school aren't uncommon. Athletes often have injuries (overuse or accidental) and it's not unheard of for high school kids to have something as involved as an ACL reconstruction. But if S-J was screaming in the floor of her high school, waiting for an ambulance to "save" her, that's more OTT than anything. I guess her cervix could have been acting up (no clue how that would represent), but any high school's admin team would not tolerate that sort of repeat dramatic nonsense. A doctor's note to return to school would be in play. Although I suppose that wouldn't prevent baby S-J from doing her thing.

1 year ago I was living at mayo pretty much because I was there 5 days straight for months. Now, we have found the right medication. And I am doing great. This won’t last but while I feel like this I will take advantage.

Living at Mayo? What medication is she on that seems to be so magical? All she posts about is how her life is so trying and it's difficult to do all these things (yet she posts video of her hopping up the stairs or doing strenuous work around the house). What was going on that she was at Mayo for five days straight for months? Her doctors have basically told her to stop bothering them with her crap (as in the cardiologist who only gave her saline infusions to shut her up). What has Mayo done to save her life from ruin?

Edit to avoid double posting:
She mentioned in her previous Instagram post that her saline adventures will be a year in October. I'm going to go ahead and predict that at the one year mark, her doctor is going to stop authorizing it. There's no way she has this charade covered and authorized by her doctor into perpetuity. They have to follow up and decide what the plan of care is, and if she's not showing clinically significant improvements as a result of her saline playtime (how could she, really?), then I'm going to go out on a limb and call it now: She's going to chimp around Halloween. Even going to visit the inVeNtOr of the tilt table test got her nowhere when it comes to legitimizing her claims. This show can't go on forever. Her doctor has already commented that no matter what they do, it's never going to be enough for her (and seemed ready to just drop her from his practice). October might be her deadline, so I am formally submitting my prediction into the 2019 Chimp Pool.

I'll admit I'm a butthead SJ approved thumbs up

I was that kid in high school with bad Patella Femoral Disorder. Had 3 surgeries by the time I graduated. Never once was I on the floor screaming, even when my patella dislocated. Never rode in an ambulance. Guess I missed out by just being a normal kid...


Tracked down Linda Li Facebook



She is no longer involved in the EDS Support Group from what I can tell, not even as a member. Looks like she was forced out 4-5 years ago, partially because a lot of EDSers question her diagnosis and the damage she did to the EDS community with her Intervention appearance.



Lots of star struck post. She sounds like a teenager fawning over a crush.




Still critical of opiod prescribing laws of course.



She has more pain than Alex Trebec of course...more pain than anyone.




Still claiming EMF issues



Still getting funding for in home care for who knows what?


Still surrounded by drama




I want to dig into what happened with the EDS group but it will take a bit of time and better internet when I get home.

Edited to add:
Got into the much smaller EDS Facebook group she now runs. Lots of good info her current med shopping and such forthcoming.

Oh my stars & garters, practically every line of this post qualifies for random Kiwi text. She deleted 2 comments already, before I checked for them, & now the very air I breathe tastes like sadness.

You guys are so sweet. NOT!!!

Wow, SJ sure read us buttheads. NOT!!!

Well guess what buttheads that happens with chronic illness and terminal illness

“Terminal illness?” Unfortunately for us all, SJ, stupidity isn’t terminal.

Well, last night I was crying so hard I had creamy stuff coming from my eyes.

I HAVE FLAIR NOW

Since age 13 I have had problems with my cervix and knees. I spent endless embarrassing hours on the floor screaming in high school waiting for ambulance to save me.

Help me guise, I can’t decide. Does “cervix and knees” sound more like:

1. Some sort of southern comfort food
2. A twee-pop duo discovered by Billie Eilish
3. The way your neighbor’s dad mangles the Spanish word for “beers” at the Cinco de Mayo-themed block party

I am doing great. This won’t last

...unless you stop acting like a child & start living life like the grown-ass woman you are.

Is Linda's intervention program worth watching ?

 

[Kate Farms Shill]

someone else May have pointed this out but you’re mixing up your munchies. Jessi is the chick still in the hospital with wild ass conflicting claims, she is not doing any child care.


Ok now I’m even more confused bc this^ isn’t Jessi, dis@bl.3d not def3ated.

@sootsprite was responding to four different stories.

Childcare comment is about Jonzie/Alexys Jones offering to watch your kids when she's anorexic, on heroin, and allegedly dying, and someone who actually does childcare saying it's a great job for her
The list was about Jessi and her 25 minute seizure
The question to me was about Skinwalker/Amanda Winig.
And the last line was about Jaquie refusing MALS surgery early in her youtube career.

Is Linda's intervention program worth watching ?

It's goddamned hilarious. She tells her family what colors they can wear around her and if they wear a different one she screams that her joints are dislocating because of it. She says the energy from flowers makes her joints dislocate. She says being in the same room as her mom makes her joints dislocate and uses it to keep her parents from coming to her house. She claims she can't make left turns and forces her brother to put things in certain places because of this, won't let him throw out garbage in her shithole of a house. When they put her in the intervention room she starts running through town screaming and her brother has to brute-force tackle her.

That is a small snippet of her insanity.


ETA: Jonzie leak has delivered once more and I have only now had time to address it. She answered a few questions but if she had a big reveal to make she's still waiting for more attention before she posts it.



Muh edema


Not at risk of heart attack, has IV issues, almost needed a PICC but didn't, doesn't have a fever anymore.


first video is retconning her history. She claims it started in middle school as asthma, anaphylaxis, then in high school had a very bad head injury, a heart problem, and kidney disease. Doesn't mention anorexia that was her initial reason for living in a hospital or the EDS combo platter and epilepsy she used to claim/wear a tard helmet for. The next three are "it's such a great day, the weather's so nice, hey don't forget I'm super dying look at my heart monitor leads!" The last is her going for a walk "slightly against doctors orders".

EDIT: lol you know what else I forgot from her history? this dumbass eats soap and detergent to sicken herself. Funny that she didn't mention that as part of her tragic backstory

Sounds worth $2

I haven't seen it since it originally aired and I still laugh about it. She has Agony Autie beat in the dance moves by a long shot. The spread eagle bit out on the lawn

Check this bit of celebrity whoring from a comic conn she did

You forgot the part where she claims that running is the only way she can safely get around.

 

[mooserangerofthenorth]

What's hilarious is Linda Li googles herself on a regular basis. Time to make popcorn for when she shows up and defends her actions.

Yep! When her episode was new she made posts on a whole bunch of random forums I was active on defending herself and accusing the intervention team of misrepresenting her and editing it to make her look crazy. It seemed like any time she was mentioned, there she was. And her posts made it crystal clear that she is exactly as crazy as they made her look.

 

[Maxie]

Linda is her own type of crazy.

Yeah she spends half the episode screaming in pain because "the [noun's] energy got on me!"
ex; "OH NO! The azalea's energy got on your camera lens! I told my mom not to plant azaleas!"

Her backstory is that she grew up first-gen Chinese-American and her parents owned a laundry where she had to work long shifts after school and on weekends as a teenager for no pay, which is really typical of children of immigrant parents. You go home from school, you wait tables at the family restaurant, and your parents hold it over your head that they feed you and provide for you if you complain about not getting paid. She felt they stole her childhood and exploited her. Then she moved to california to become an extra (quite successfully, made a whole career of it), allegedly dislocated her knee walking across set one day, and it all went downhill from there. She was pretty transparent about the fact that she was bankrupting her parents, making them pay for her expensive apartment in Agoura Hills (median household income: $150k) and for her brother to work 24/7 as her live-in caretaker, pay all her bills, buy her anything she claimed would help with her "EDS," and by the time she was filmed she was heavily addicted to painkillers and really seemed to just be fucking with everyone. Telling them all they had to wear maroon if they came near her and that talking to them on the phone hurt her joints.

I really don't know how much of it was delusion and how much of it was just celebrating that she got even with mommy and daddy for ruining her life.

Hi hey hello, interrupting the Netflix binging momentarily to offer another fav cow of mine for the follow:

Nadia is 1000% not a munchie, since she is totes healed now from a “complex health history.” So why would anyone on this thread give a shit about her?

Spoiler: This Is Why

1. She talks about her history of bullshit spoonie-time constantly in IG stories, blogs, & articles
2. She’s a cut-rate Gwenny Paltrow who swears like a sailor while peddling the worst kind of woo
3. NADIA IS AN ARIES! RULES DON’T APPLY TO HER!
4. Her following is to us what a wet cattle pasture is for mushroom lovers... every time you sift through the shit, you’re guaranteed to find a wild trip

IG: @the.healed.tribe
FB: Nadia finds FB too toxic to use

Some of her other munchie corrals:

• The Healed Tribe Clinic
• Another woo-business site

Sure she’s a paragon of health now, but what exactly was wrong with Nadia for her to heal from?

Spoiler: Everything

Oh shit! 30% mitochondrial function?! What could cause that? And what miracle doctor was able to figure that out?


Thank goodness “Dr.” Mommy was around to help get to the bottom of it all...





Bonus: Mommy Deborah rather awkwardly describes her personal life in a Healed Tribe Clinic bio thusly...

Spoiler: TW: Zoophilia

What other things helped Nadia achieve her miraculous recovery?

Spoiler: The Dumbest IVs Ever

Nadia’s experience as a #spoonie means she gets it, guise. She totally gets it. She says “fuck” & thinks Western medicine is dumb just like everyone else with Hyperfibro, Late Stage Pots, & Genetic Lyme does! What else does our hip healing guru Nadia think is dumb?

Spoiler: Therapy & Antibiotics, Of Course

What does Nadia think isn’t dumb?

Spoiler: Bee Venom, Probably

What Nadia thinks is dumb or not is important because she’s legitimately educated in science-based techniques but also just, you know, suuuuuper intuitive so she can create a “bespoke” healing plan for you. How does she do it, exactly?

Spoiler: She Makes Some Shit Up

There’s so much to discuss about Nadia herself, from why she chooses the can marked “neon khaki” for her spray tans to whatever the fuck “interpersonal neurobiology” is. However, while Nadia herself is chock full of m.ilk, so are her family, business partners, & followers. What I’m saying is have fun—but be careful you don’t lose whole days chasing Nadia down rabbit holes.

She studied neuroscience because she wanted to know what it was like to have a brain.

I don't know what's better. That quality open field tackle or those dance moves.

Just from the small video clip I watched, I get the distinct impression this girl knows EXACTLY what she's doing. There's a lot of play acting going on here.

Awhile back on this thread there was a discussion about people faking schizophrenia and if people actually do that. Ladies, gentlemen, and assorted gender specials....I present a real live psychosis faker. This chick is it.

I want to learn "The Linda." Would be a good companion dance for "The Elaine."

God, her poor parents. But that tackle!

 

[Ellesse_warrior]

I prefer auties dancing to Linda's. Auties is far more exceptional because she chooses crazy artsy fartsy music, she uses her crutch/ wheelchair as a prop and she is seriously trying to be artistic with all that hand waving. Linda is just two stepping, it's funny because of the context but not exceptional in the sense that auties is.

 

[Sylvie Paula Paula]

It's gotten to the point where we're rating Munchie Mating Dances. I love it.

(Autie's is better than Linda's btw)

Please can someone tell me where I can find the falling out of the wheelchair clip? Please!
