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

This IG is a nightmare:
https://www.instagram.com/thetravelinghaloofhope/
Every time they tried to take that halo off, she couldn't even, so she got more spine surgery. Can this actually happen? This is just horrible. Just... that's a fuckton of spinal surgeries and a lot of, "oh no, more surgery and the halo can't come off!" She did have legit scoliosis from the looks of it, so I'm gonna say this is more of a morbid curiosity than munchie. There's some crazy graphic pics in that IG for anyone into that.


This girl has a tragically punchable face, notreal™ seizures and the standard munchie combo of eds, pots, gp, and chiari plus being genderstupid.

This post screams munchie to me.

LIFE UPDATE
•
It has been three weeks since I went from one tube to a two tube lady and I am absolutely loving my @craftingforacureco tubie clips! I don’t just use them to keep my tubes out of the way I also use them to hold my fluid bags in place inside of my medical bag. I’m still using my Halloween clips in there cause I refuse to believe October is over. If you haven’t already check them out babes they are actual lifesavers!!
•
Barefaced and braless for this update cause why not? This is my second NJ tube since the first one got thrown up six days after it’s placement because of a seizure I had in the hospital. We have spent the last year not worrying about my convulsions because we all assumed they aren’t actually seizures. Having one in the hospital was extremely lucky because were finally able to confirm wether or not they are classic seizures instead of seizure like activity by testing my prolactin levels. During the seizure my levels were at 27.8 and at the exact same time the next day my levels were at 6.2 so that’s a really definitive answer. It makes reality scarier because we now know I have to be taken to the hospital if my seizures last more than ten minutes when mine normally last anywhere from fifteen to ninety minutes. My internist says mine are many small seizures pushed into one. Oddly enough my neurologists don’t seem to think it’s a very big deal and they have settled for just calling them seizures instead of looking into wether or not I have epilepsy. I have been to the er twice in the last two weeks to get my tube unclogged which has been super annoying but I’m staying the course because maybe this will help with the extreme weight loss and the terrible malnutrition. None of my clothes fit, I’m down forty two pounds, and my BMI is at 18.3 as of this morning. I think I might start doing weekly updates if you guys are interested in it? How are you babes doing? What is your experience with NJ tubes or seizures? Let me know below!

Went septic, but excited to keep her port, like really excited, and refers to the port as "her/she"

tapping out for now

I found this gem earlier while I was looking for paws and love on YouTube to see what she has been doing.

Hmm swimmer for 17 years and dying of MUH (undiagnosed) EDS at 20? Bullshit lady.

Whatever happened to that supposed ballerina who’s shins got all fucked up and went black? Her instagram went missing and I’m assuming because she posted some brutal photos of her legs and I’m curious on if she had her legs amputated or not.

Kelly ronahan. Her videos kept getting taken down from Instagram because they are nasty. Theres some recent videos in the last 10-15 pages of hef thread. No amputation yet, wounds are still half black half flesh. Cant move her feet up and down.

Appreciate it! Didn’t know she had her own thread.

 

[Maxie]

Not a munchie but another goose girl with an house goose. And no big surprise she also has a crested duck.


With all the munchies with major spinal hardware here is what it looks like after cremation. Stolen from an oddities group I'm in.

Oh it's a treat too, probably the grossest thread on the forums.

She's what made me sign up.

As a fan of gore, her demise is fun to follow, especially since she’s so open about showing her legs off.

I’m almost 100% sure she’s not a munchie. I believe her first doctor just fucked her up. As with anyone who has had a spinal fusion + EDS, the instability moves down so she’s had repeat spinal surgeries and is now fused from skull to SI joints. She has not talked about who her other surgeons were but her current one is at Mayo Arizona. I have gone through her insta and blog pretty closely and didn’t find anything that stood out as munching (doctor shopping, claiming a bunch of diagnoses, having “tools” she doesn’t need). Some have said she is OTT because her insta is 100% about her spinal issues so it seems like she is obsessed with that part of her life.

SJ wants you to remember she's awrtistic and can't hug or say I love you


Just in case anyone forgot, she just recently posted about 18 videos of her hugging her friend, in the wheelchair, standing, running slow motion jumps, over and over and over again. But she's autistic and doesn't hug.

I mean to be fair, if my spine were 100% hardware at this point I'd probably have a hard time thinking about anything else, too.

I agree with you, I don't think she is a munchie at all.

Especially if it was made worse by the first surgery. Not saying the surgeon fucked up but I agree with what Medicaidmunch posted above. This is what worries me about this chiari surgery trend, I don't actually know of a spine surgery that doesn't make things worse, maybe a decompression

Kat would like you to know she doesn't wear diapers anymore. I thought she had a suprapubic catheter but that's no longer correct I guess?


When I first saw this I thought "wow her legs look skinnier" and yes, her very next post was about exactly such a thing.

Spoiler: I don't think it was the TPN gur

When Kat first started gaining, she claimed it was because of meds (I tried to find the post but now can't. I think one post used to say it but she edited that out of the caption.) As several have pointed out so far, the fact is that Kat is getting two kinds of nutrition-- both oral and total parenteral.

Kat lives alone and has a nurse assistant that does tasks for her. She has been on and off TPN for a long time. But mostly on. Why, then, does she have so much food?


This one is more recent. Drinking coffee. Someone on TPN CAN do it, but it's a terrible idea. The number one thing clinicians say to avoid with GI problems are coffee, tea, liquor and smokes. Furthermore, caffeine is a diuretic (Lohsiriwat et al 2011, multiple MULTIPLE other studies) so as someone who allegedly has trouble with urine elimination, bad idea. "Caffeine can promote early urgency and frequency of urination. Individuals with lower urinary tract symptom should avoid or be cautious in consuming caffeine containing foodstuffs," Lohsiriwat et al concluded.

Please peep even more coffee (Dunkin Donuts) on her microwave. And a damn bottle of syrup on top of her fridge.


The syrup wasn't there 14 weeks ago, but it was there 10 weeks ago. Conclusion: Kat bought or had someone buy her syrup. Syrup is literally empty calories.


This girl loves her Dunkin' coffee, feat. bread (look above the dog's head on the counter). White bread is also calorie-dense and nutrient-poor.

She bought a ton of pop. Not only the one she's drinking, but two flats back behind her. Full of sugar, calorie-dense and no nutritional value.


And check out that entire case of Maruchanes on the left side of the photo. One of those will run you about 380 empty calories per package. They do not appear in later photos. Conclusion: she ate them.

Kat recently got back from a long hospital stay. We don't know what for, but we do know she was on TPN while there. She blames TPN for her gain. But is it entirely possible they put her on TPN this last time to LOSE weight? I posit yes. (Port and Apovian 2012, Burge et al 1994, Frankenfield "Nutritional Support in the Obese Patient").

Hypocaloric TPN is a technique that medical professionals may employ while the obese patient is hospitalized, although it is more often talked about when the patient is on a ventilator or otherwise incapable of eating. While there are drawbacks (such as adequate protein intake), hospitalized obese patients cannot be expected to live off their fat stores. Especially if they are already in a nutritionally deprived state, which can definitely be the case as most high-calorie foods are nutritionally poor. By engaging hypocaloric TPN, the clinician helps the patient obtain needed nutrition while delivering a caloric deficit that will help the patient lose weight.

Although this isn't my area of expertise, I might hazard an educated guess that Kat went in for an unrelated issue and was put on hypocaloric TPN. Either she asked for TPN, was already doing it, or the docs decided for her. Her weight loss, which has happened at an increased pace and since she's been in the hospital, strongly suggests hypocaloric TPN.

TLDR: I don't think Kat can blame TPN for her weight gain. If anything, she should credit it for her weight loss. Her inability to refrain from junkfood while on TPN seems to have been the problem, and in the hospital, those decisions were made for her.

She orders groceries through Weis Grocers' "Weis To Go" service. You can see the bags in her apartment from time to time. She also has discussed making her mom bring her stuff. You can also find cakes, english muffins, bagels, candy, and other sugary drinks in her apartment. It's my favorite seek-and-find game.

Amy Lee Fisher is also blaming TPN and medication for her rapid weight gain in the same video she's showing off how many (DRAINABLE!!!) donuts she ate. They reduced her TPN to like 900 calories and still just cannot figure out why she's gaining weight!

Edit: speaking of fatasses larping as GP patients, Nina Jean is in the news again complaining about accessibility



One entrance of a park had a barrier up that a wheelchair user cannot get around. There were several entrances. To nina and her fake-disabled fam, this was a goddamned travesty that required this bullshit, whereas any other wheelchair user would just, yanno, use another entrance? Because they're used to it? I mean feel free to correct me, I only have the word of one quadriplegic that she'd rather just find another way than draw more attention to the fact that she can't walk...

Paige's flesh eating bacteria is giving her a case of the ouchies, she got a ride on the booboo bus, and now she's getting surgery.

I have January 2 in the death pool going around the Reddits. At least it will be the end of identical sadface selfies every day.

I want to punch her in the face. Something about that nose and her stupid ass expression infuriates me so badly I think if I saw her in person I'd hit her.

What gets me about her? Most people would at least put a fucking filter on so they didn't just post thousands of plain stupid faced selfies. Put a dog filter on bitch! It would make you .5% less punchable.

This lady I've followed for a while. I don't really get an OTT vibe from her. She posts about her spine shit a lot. But if I'd been fucked over by a surgeon (even if it was an accidental fuck up) and ended up with a complete spine fusion I'd probably post about it a lot too. Just the thought of it sounds extremely painful and you can tell it messes with her life in a huge way.

Let's do an SOS Update!

They are in their house but woke up sick because EVIL Mold! She hates being in the house because if she's there she can't complain about living in a hotel. Got to be a real housekeeper again.




Also Aila (A dog?) Is sick and might have been sick since they boarded her and nothing goes right when you need things to bitch about online


Oh there was one update that I wasn't able to grab a screen grab of and it's vanished. She's not eaten forever and she might have to go on TPN again because she can't eat or use her special tube she went through hell and 'Malpractice' to get

I agree about pestilence Paige, just want tonreach in and slap her good! Also, why don't the SoS fam just move to a rental within hubby 's commute? It is always an option for members with dependants. They are not required to live in base housing? I really don't think that she is telling the whole story or even the truth, and it is hard to believe her. But if the house is hazardous, they can find a place off base and hubby will get housing allowance. He should also tell his commander and get housing to straighten up.
