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

[Toohottotrot]

Carly 💙♿🌈 (@ChronicalyCarly) on Twitter

Have you guys seen this girl? Check her out.
I'm too tired to screencap but a quick browse is good for a laugh.

Her recent tweets are all about how someone ElSES caretaker pushed her out of the way so she didn't even get to meet Avril Lavigne after her concert!

Yes, it's a full grown woman faking needing a wheelchair while bitching about not being able to meet Avril fucking Lavigne.

She then bitches about how a man touched her chair because her dumb ass was blocking walkways. It's like a 5 tweet sperg out about how it was basically sexual assault

Of course she has all the typical munchie illnesses.

Her Twitter is all about how people like Kesha are omg goals and influences, how many times she gets molested in public in her wheel chair, and a lot for confused queries as to why people ghost her.

Yeah, I just have no idea why people would ghost such a lovely woman

Edit why do all the munchie idiots get power assist

Today on the Adventures of Someone Who is Actually Sick for Once in Her Life, Sarah-Jean has MUCUS FOR DAYS.

-went to friend's b-day party
-felt like she had "heat" on her chest, started getting bumps and on face. Benadryl did not work.
-Nurse came. Taught her how to do IV benadryl properly, which she already had learned from YouTube, but she took handfuls of benadryl last night when it didn't work.
-Nurse also gave her an IV for saline which blows the idea that she got her script revoked
-woke up in the middle of the night sick. Congratulations, you got the same cold everyone I know just had
-Shows off chapped skin under nose.
-Head stuffy. Green and clear mucus and post-nasal drip. Again, you have a cold.
-no plans today so she's going to watch Frey Life
-cut to her loudly fondling some samples a company sent for her care package deal, dog treats I think? I couldn't really hear her over the crunching
-Watch as she counts bags in absolute silence. Riveting content. There are 120 of them.
-starting to feel better. lucky you, SJ, you have a positively enviable immune system. Everyone I know who has gotten this cold has been sick for several days and several ended up with bronchitis. Eats pasta.
-Again complains about IV saline takes too much time, hasn't been running it because she's been too sick (wut) and complains again that doctors won't give her a port. Obligatory munchie sets up her IV scene.
-Hasn't gotten paid and needs folders to keep her NPO shit organized.
-Gonna just watch TV or something. BYE!!

So if she’s to sick (for a treatment given to patients who are about to die)to set up the iv get evildad do it

I don't think she understands that the way she is "helping" and "spreading awareness" is not the right way. You can bring awareness to a disorder without parading your sick children and yourself online in a complainative fashion begging for donations and gifts to ease the burden life has placed on you. There are different ways to find support, such as private Facebook groups. Sure, blog, but make them actually informative, not some personal belief system mixed with complaints about how your treated, how life is and how a disorder is treated. The fashion in which she portrays herself, her family and struggles online doesn't bring support or awareness to anyone but herself. Just more excuses to make her feel like she's in the right.
But hey she's going to pray for us because I guess we are suffering following her feigned suffering. I mean it is a slight annoyance after all that she does nothing but spread false information.

Such a tasteful background image she’s selected for that piece of what looks to be a piece of Instagram Story
word vomit. Is that supposed to be hellfire for those of us expressing concern for children who have a mother displaying symptoms of Munchausen’s? What sinful beings we are!

I wonder if any of these munchies have ever once stopped to consider just how much they could potentially be frightening new patients with this kind of “awareness”. Say a newly diagnosed patient with mild gastroparesis decides to look for a touch of support on social media? Bam, feeding tubes, TPN and “poor me, this is the worst I’m possibly/probably dying” everywhere. But that’d require some degree of self awareness outside of oneself on the munchies part which is far too much to ask for, of course. Slight power level but before SOS decides she might want to dispute it with more of her bullshit, it happens. It happens a fucking lot, and it even pulls at my hardened heartstrings when those patients come in losing their shit over seeing content like the aforementioned thinking that’s how they’re going to end up (like most people would at the prospect of eating through a tube). Not all attention is good attention. Wait, did I say attention? I meant “awareness”, of course. Fuck self absorbed cunts like her. The milk she produces at the moment is hilarious though, I gotta admit.

It looks like they actually placed a transgastric J-tube in her. It's basically a GJ tube without the G part. The balloon is in the stomach and then the tube just goes into the jejunum (those are the only mic-key buttons that have the "jejunal access" label). They can also be used in a straight J stoma, but not right after surgery.
It's technically a GJ tube because the stoma is in the stomach, and she can't fuck with her stomach and drain it. The doctor didn't lie to her or make a mistake, he outsmarted her and she's mad.

Holy shit! Thank you for that info. That's even better. Doctors probably knew she'd purge out the gtube. I sincerely hope they are smart enough to not place an actual GJ

I know when all that jacquie death stuff was going down. There were legitimate people who needed feeding tubes scared to get them. Because everyone on groups was all 'oh look at Jacquie's stuff!' about GP and then she died because of her issues that she forced on herself. So yeah they definitely can make things worse for people and it doesn't seem like awareness to frighten people like that.

This is good info. The doctors probably made sure the access was only for feeds because before this procedure she didn't need to vent or they would have given her an NG with suction to rid the stomach of backflow. So why would they add in a way to vent now. It wouldn't make any sence. And maybe they explained it as a tube that would go through her stomach into her jejunum and she basically assumed it was a gj and that it would have a vent. This probably excited her and she was disappointed when she didn't get her wish. But the sad ish part is it will be much easier to change into a both from there. But haven't heard any news which could mean she's just not talking til it's done or she's getting the run around again.

The awareness these munchies spread is what has started to become what is so wrong with social media. It's gone from a safe place to help others going through similar struggles to a sick kind of Olympics where everyone is the most sick, woe is me, I need all the surgery to prove it. Again, most people with GP do not, I repeat, DO NOT get feeding tubes. Most people with pots continue mild exercise and hydration to keep symptoms lower, they don't get ports and piccs to get saline infusions on the daily. It's true that pots and eds are more common than what's portrayed. There are huge groupings of people not on social media that have these issues and yet you would never know because to them its just a part of daily life. Any disorder can be minimized by proper care. Saline, feeding tubes, are just expensive bandaids that make existing problems worse (think, "if you don't use it. You lose it"). Unfortunately if you aren't trying to be healthy and losing too much weight because of purposeful starvation, yes a doctor is going to put a feeding tube in you so you can gain weight as they know proper constant feeds will do that. The issue is people like anelise and other cows on here either over feed (use tube feed and real food once they get the toy they wanted) or under feed (purposefully don't use the tube as intended but use it to purge or get less intake). Very few who actually need tubes use it in the proper way and start gaining weight but not over gaining and end up at a nice, healthy weight. The people who usually get feeding tubes have other illnesses that make them very sick to the point of wasting, stomach cancers, throat/mouth cancers, intestinal cancers, or paralyzing conditions (Als, muscular dystrophy, etc) that cause the person to be unable to swallow or process food because of muscle function. GP is all about finding your safe foods. If all you can eat is baby food, then you eat baby food. If you have to live off protein shakes and white bread then that's what you do. If you need acute supportive care, you get fluids and sometimes lr in the hospital, let your stomach rest and keep trucking on after. I know alot of people personally who have all these hugely portrayed social media illnesses and they are able to manage without surgery. That's where the awareness should be. Not in the tubes and piccs and hospital stays. But how to manage without and not go to the hospital every week. Sorry for the long extended rant but this is probably my biggest pet peeve...

 

[Cheeseman]

i just think its really gross how many 'tube warriors' proudly show off their new found bulimia vomiting without having to have it destroy their teeth. anytime a 'big name' munchie gets a tube i immediately think its just a new route to fuck with test and/or a not so nasty way to lose weight. venting is just as disgusting. especially when they bleet on about missing food even though they fought for their new accessory. the amount of followers who support chew and spit or 'venting' is quite sad

 

[Erica_Kane]

Chiari is poised to be the new thing they all have, but that is also boring and part of the EDS package deal. Seen a recent uptick in spinal stenosis and various neuropathies as well.

I'm hoping more people go the Bee route and fake a temporary potato-inducing neurodegenerative disorder that magically clears up when they feel like doing something fun. Also, more munchies posting photos of them pissing themselves from their super real seizures plz.

I'm all for ridic seizures. Chiari they think will get them surgery but most people with chiari don't even know it.

Apologize if this has already been discussed but I don’t remember seeing it.

SOS claiming Chiari has a genetic marker and there is some study she’s enrolled in? Chiari is dx per finding on an MRI, I have never ever heard of a genetic marker. Anyone else?

View attachment 967931

Powerlevel but as I mentioned my son has chiari I and other genetic crap so we've seen genetics never did they bring up a genetic marker, it may exist but it's not a well known or researched thing. Of course they are involved in a study the poor kids.

 

[MirnaMinkoff]

Damn. If it's a Jtube she's fucked because they can't just 'turn it into a gj' so she's either going to get a separate G tube or they are going to pull that and place a GJ (I really fucking doubt that?) So more pain for her? Because you know she feels things so much more than anyone else.

If that's a j button there's no way in hell it's a gj. This lady is getting weirder and weirder.

Amazing how today she says her hair is falling out when the other day on her live she was all 'my hair is still so thick, just look at it'

What cracks me up is how important this is to munchies. Only munchies and health care pros know or care what the difference between j, g or gj whatever tube. Even legit sick people don’t care, they just want whatever will help them get nutrients with the least amount of hassle and mess.

No matter what magic tube a munchie gets it’s just a “feeding tube” to 99.99% of humanity, but in munchie world tubes are status symbols of the sickest and an unlocked achievement for bulimics

Well shit. There goes my one year theory on SJ's precious salt water. I find it funny that she says infusions are too much work when she's sick, but sick people by definition benefit from being hydrated. She's been pretty boring lately, and you can tell she's putting zero effort into videos (hence the silent stretches while she counts stuff). I'm surprised she didn't throw herself against the doors of the ER and insist that her chronic condishuns make it dangerous for her to get a normal cold virus.

I couldn’t agree more, no need to apologise for the rant. It’s taken a good deal of restraint for me to not power level like the stupid newbie fuck I am because apparently I’ve reached some sort of breaking point after years of watching these people shit up IG and FB with their nonsense as some patients who are actually really unwell seem to fade into the background over the sheer loudness of the OTT/munch crowd. But yeah, I’ve run into a couple of people that I actually knew fairly well in my personal life who would consider themselves healthy and abled with gastroparesis and I honestly wouldn’t have known if they hadnt’t randomly dropped it in a relevant everyday conversation. Same goes for EDS, perhaps even more so. My knowledge of GP seems somewhat similar in that a year or two is usually spent finding safe foods, learning to use nutritional powders to add to food to aid weight gain and maybe adapting to a liquid diet if you have to and most average people will drink the most vile crap just to avoid a nose hose. That’s a fairly distressing process in itself so where is all the awareness in that from prominent Instagram princesses? Nowhere, of course, because it usually doesn’t come with much attention although the munchie crowds will just try to cover their asses by saying that I don’t know their life. Also, I noticed that some of the munchie bunch seem like they’re struck down with some acute form of gastroparesis that requires a tube after one or two hospital admissions once that have found “the right doctor”. This would usually only occur if something traumatic happened to the vagus nerve or if a progressive illness was particularly aggressive yet claim it’s caused by EDS or some shit that they’re supposed to be literally born with. It’s a huge red flag, especially if they have dropped weight rapidly. Actually wanting or asking for a fucking central line for salt water infusions for dehydration/POTS shortly after diagnosis, especially if their peripheral IV access points are fine, is another obvious massive red flag because literally no one except munchies or hugely OTT types do that. GP is also not particularly painful as some claim, patients experience gas pain and bloating produced due the how fucking unhealthy low fiber diets are and I have a feeling some comes from being backed up from opiates causing actual slow motility of the bowels (like Jaquie) so I can’t help but be bemused by their so called 40/10 pain.

What’s actually painful is having a stoma for a feeding tube, especially if a genuine collagen defect is actually present. Looking after a stoma or two, the tube itself and setting up feeds is likely by far the worst thing that could happen to someone with GP (death being an exception, maybe, lol) and it completely fucks with my mind that it’s somehow a thing people would ask for let alone it being some sort of trendy munchie status symbol on Instagram. I know of someone who had a tube for diabetic GP and got so frustrated with the damn thing that he deflated the balloon and removed it himself because they’re also really fucking finicky and take up so much time on a daily basis to look after.

I was supposed to have an actual point here, lol, and it’s that yes...I’m mad on the internet at people using the extreme end of other people’s suffering to twist it into their own narrative for asspats instead of much needed reassurance and support being offered to genuine yet quieter patients instead who get lost in the sea of #supertubies using tube pads made for children to hid their stomach snot from the world. SoS just so happens to be another example of the selfish cunts who float in that sea. Apologies for my own splurge.

You know, stating you shat yourself would be something a normal person would never admit to, ESPECIALLY on social media.. but not our munchies!

 

[For The Internet]

Pretty sure my mother is reading internet shit that's written by munchies because she's suddenly going on and on about my chiari (which as far as I know gives me no issues whatsoever) and how I need to go to a doctor and get it checked out because reasons. It really does seem to be becoming a fad in the community which is weird because it seems super boring to me. It gives you headaches, maybe nausea. So what? For those wondering about the chiari dx mine was found through MRI scans I had as a baby, not through genetic markers. Sorry if that's PL shit.

 

[Allo Vera]

I’m surprised Nicole Gray aka Just Breathe Nicole aka unichron_2 doesn’t get discussed here more. I think she gets a brief mention in the OP.

She has “somatic vomiting syndrome” and when she isn’t being blue lighted to hospital, she participates in pageants with NG tube in situ. I forgot about her for a long time but now see she’s managed to score a J tube.

 

[Pimpkin Pumpkin]

You know, stating you shat yourself would be something a normal person would never admit to, ESPECIALLY on social media.. but not our munchies!

Tbh, I’m more surprised that she’s not using this as an instareason to demand a colostomy bag. A normal person would probably be horrified at the thought, but these munchies are like “ oooh, something else to glue gemstones to and draw attention to myself with!”.

Also, lol, at least she’s not pretending to not know what dilaudid is called.
