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

I love munchies and @pastelspoons is too good not to share:

Kitty is a 22-year-old, OTT internet EDS warrior and "disability advocate" who loves to milk her multiple chronic illnesses and flash her her growing collection of spoonie accessories and toys on her Instagram and TikTok accounts.

Kitty's grocery list of diagnoses include:
  • Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Hypermobility Type
  • Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome
  • Gastroparesis
  • Mitral Valve Prolapse
  • Asthma
  • Occipital Neuralgia
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome
  • Sensory Processing Disorder
  • Borderline Personality Disorder
  • Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
  • Undiagnosed Neurological Condition
Here is a very brief timeline of her claimed medical history that I threw together:

  • 2011: Episodes of fainting begin. “Doctors said it was my anxiety making me faint. I later dropped out of dance due to recurring fainting episodes” Ignored recurring fainting episodes for 6 years before a finding cardiologist willing to Dx with POTS and another year to find a different cardiologist “willing to take on a POTS case”
  • March 2017: Dancing on TikTok “4 days after major abdominal surgery” Never specifies what this abdominal surgery is for.
  • July 2017: Shares video of ice pack on her head “#syncope #lungdisease #anxiety #depression”
  • September 2017: Tonsilectomy, back in hospital shortly after for complications “coughing blood and my lungs are closing off”
  • October 2017: “Wore a loop monitor for 14 days which got my doctors the proof they needed to order a tilt table test and confirm my POTS diagnosis”
  • Fall 2017: Cut hair to “escape nerve pain in my scalp better known as occipital neuralgia"
  • August 2018: Starts using wheelchair.“Can only stand for less than 7 min or I pass out and walking is constantly painful”
  • September 2018: Displays her hypermobility “bendiness,” allergy testing, spine injury, cropped picture of “winged scapula” and pictures of braces and other accessories for proof for diagnosis of EDS,
  • Summer 2019: Referred to gastro due to “losing weight as well as throwing up most foods
  • Summer 2019: Following gastro appointment “More testing and maybe a feeding tube or TPN… I’d have to go to inpatient for all that” A week later, her port is installed.
  • July 2019: Instagram rant about ER wanting to place IV instead of using port. Complains that doctor told her “you have a CHRONIC illness… You’re not ACUTE” and discharged her afterwards. Doctors are well aware that she’s full of it!!!!
  • July-August 2019: Attends EDS conference in Nashville, is invited to special research study to take place in October.
  • September 2019: Wears neck brace for “Undiagnosed Neurological Condition”“I go blind when I turn my head too quickly, Almost daily migranes, The collar (neck brace) makes my weird neurological symptoms stop, I’ve never had an MRI, but CT and xray didn’t show anything”
  • September 2019: In ER after clogged port “seeped blood all night” Mentions being “huge sepsis risk” and “dehydrating”
  • September 2019: "I'm still being threatened with a GJ feeding tube by my gastro and he's in a lawsuit right now cause one of his patients died because they waited too long to treat her"

She has also gone through three #servicedogs in the past 2.5 years:
(Relevant screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/wVrvhhh)
  • Summer/Fall 2016: #ptsdservicedog Cope celebrates his first birthday. Cope is never mentioned again after about 3 months.
  • Fall 2017: German Shepherd “Harley” is #servicedogintraining for Kitty’s “PTSD and a medical condition called syncope” Harley is last seen on social media 2 months later
  • April 2018: Shih Tzu “Cookie” is 8 weeks old and #training to be a #servicedog. Cookie is still in training as of August 2019
A disgusting amount of other screenshots for you to enjoy: Obvious Munchie is Obvious

I've been following this one for a minute and she never fails to deliver.
 
Is Heather still a flight attendant and if so, what airline does she work for so I can make sure I never fly with them? I'd rather not have my in-flight gin and tonic made by an actual crazy person.
I think I'd enjoy the in-flight entertainment, but y'all know I love a conspiritard. Definitely flying American Airlines from now on
 
If we have already covered this case of animal abuse I will delete
I disagree with any animal being forced to stand in one spot for six hours.

the horse was able to use the animal toilet between flights

here she admits to issues

People don't have anxiety! They just have MCAS and the benzos work because they "calm brain inflammation."

Found while stalking PK's friends
oh god we are entering Susan's schofield mbp oh wait i don't have kids abuse anymore levels of stupidity here. Susan's trying to get Schizophrenia relabelled a brain based (too manic/stupid ) to know the word neurological

added from her thread

relabel mbp.jpg
not how any of it works mbp.jpg

And why are these idoits always wanting a neuro answer to their/kids mental illnesses ?
 
Appears Sarah-Jean is running out of "content."


-IV stopped working through night, waited until morning to address
-dramatically winces while removing tape from IV site, "look no blood" and shows close up of track mark arm
-working on care packages
-will be filling all of October's care packages with candy, DONATE. It really annoys me when she refers to herself as "we" and "our" when talking about her company
-spends a minute talking about vegan cheese, currently demolishing a $9 package of cheese spread
-has a headache--but don't worry--it's a "normal person headache" and she's wearing the glasses she doesn't need to relieve it
-apologizes for not ending vlog; it's the next morning and the was puking through the night (might be that whole container of fake cheese spread she ate)


Come on, S-J. You can do much better than this. I have faith.

Yeah. I totally agree with the comparison here. While Susan was in it for the long haul (and seriously fried both kids’ brains for life), this lady is obviously hellbent on killing her kids young with numerous serious surgeries, and to me it looked like she fucked with the stitches on the kid’s head in those photos she posted to FB. Both women get (or in Susan’s case, used to get) plenty of attention, praise and asspats, and plenty of money (whether its a tugboat or a gofuckme). It’s painful to watch these horrifying train wrecks, but people don’t seem to catch on until it’s almost too late - how old is Jani now? And the whole Gypsy Rose story.

This thread makes me critical of people IRL who claim these kinds of things without any type of evidence (i.e. 20 something year old FaceBook whining about fibromyalgia and arthritis). I also wonder how common it is to be a malingerer, as underreported as cases are, since the cases that get attention are usually pretty severe. They’re only now cracking down on opioids, which would possibly take away the desire to malinger for some (no drugs = no point) and even then all you have to do is walk into an ER with “severe migraine” or something generally unprovable and they’ll shoot you up with something good for the time being. It..... frustrates me, to say the least.
 
One for those interested in a thread of literary cows. ICYMI, enjoy the rambling rollercoaster tale of a rare male munchie in publishing:
He claimed that he had two Ph.D.s: his Highsmith-related dissertation, from Oxford, and one from the psychology department of an American university, for research into Munchausen syndrome.
 
Some more updates from my favorate munchie Bernardette (Bee)

Uploaded another CP type video of magically learning to talk again


Here are 2 lives. Yes 2 in one day, how lucky are we? she's going on about all her diagnosis and how doctors sent a horrible letter, that they don't listen or know what they're talking about and how many hospitals she had to go to.

Man this girl just goes on and on! Funny how yet again she's gone from severely disabled to perfectly normal to be able to moan about all her doctors

Why is it that only the two females are "ill" but the two male children arent? Is it because the two cute little girls are easier to market for asspats and monies?

Also wow, just wow those poor girls. The father looks like a creep and the mother looks soulless.
Mom seems to have been less successful with getting procedures for the boys. But she still says they're sick. She says all 4 have EDS and one of the boys appears to have had imaging for the Chiari as well. She claims 5/6 members of their household have a rare disease. Not so fucking rare then, is it. Nothing but zebras.
- note about the younger girl's chiari, whatever image mom shared is indeed a chiari, but the level of surgical intervention necessary is impossible to tell from one photo. They did fuck up the initial surgery though. Then a screw came out later. It's been non-stop brain and spine surgeries and pain for these girls since Dec 2015.

One son has a severe peanut allergy that mom likes to sperg about - ok, that could be legit, understood. One (not sure which yet) has a "heart thing" and asthma. Mom took a video of him coughing and gagging during an "episode"
at least 2 of her kids, the older boy and the older girl have had a Nissen fundoplication. Surgery for GERD may involve a procedure to reinforce the lower esophageal sphincter called Nissen fundoplication. I have no clue what this actually is, but from what I understand you can't really vomit afterwords.

I have so much more on Krissy, but this is soul crushing. A 10 year old on comfort care for permanent brain stem damage as a result of surgeries that mom said she needed. In my non medical ass-hat opinion, it sure as fuck seems like their quality of life has been drastically reduced as a result of the surgeries. All so they could have matching collars.
 
What service can a cat provide besides looking at you disdainfully when you ask them to work? I can see them being an emotional support animal but service? Hell no.
That's if you don't have a cat that's an asshole. Let's face it most cats are in it for themselves. I don't see how a cat will be able to do tasks to help with disability either. What will they do? Claw someone's eyes out when someone questions their munchie owner about it?

People don't have anxiety! They just have MCAS and the benzos work because they "calm brain inflammation."

Found while stalking PK's friends

Chronic brain inflammation is why Mike Tyson don't talk too good no more

e: I guess I should add that benzodiazepines don't do this. They do mediate excitotoxicity from several sources but that has nothing to do with neuroinflammation.

It would be entirely possible for MCAS to show up in the brain, but it would absolutely scare the shit out of anyone who had it. You ever wonder why professional football players are four times more likely to die of Alzheimer's compared to the general population?

Maybe she needs those benzos.
