Piping hot tea straight out the kettle!
Over the last few weeks Amanda/Ren spent a week in Mayo, got some fancy new diagnoses and a PICC line for IV saline for her terrible POTS and some shiny new AFOs for hEDS, and has moved into the big time munchie realm. Of course there were still tons of accusations she was faking it, that Penny the PICC was fake, and that she didn't have POTS or hEDS. But it was enough to get her into the inner sanctum of munchiegram.
These chicks have private chat rooms where they talk about their fake diseases, their desire for service dogs and wheelchairs and toobs and ports, polypharmacy for fun and profit, us, the reddits, their not-fake eating disorders, etc. Amanda created a bunch and invited the big accounts to try to shore up her claims and get better at faking/gain clout. At peak she was adminning over ten chats. Her claims quickly escalated - DID, anorexia (posting the same photos as "body check augh so gross but at least I'm losing" and "this is the reality of gastroparesis, my stomach is so horribly bloated!"), complaining about how her mother was abusive and didn't believe her, videos of her shuffling around awkwardly in her new AFOs (proving they were probably Amazon purchases and not fitted to her), audio clips of her mother complaining that Amanda makes her cart her around all day, etc.
A few days ago they got her to admit the POTS diagnosis was "inconclusive" and might not be real, she might have inappropriate sinus tach but even that was inconclusive, and she's probably just fat and deconditioned. Then admit her hEDS is a lie and tried to blame it on BPD. Then she admit that she was diagnosed weeks ago with somatization disorder and probably half of her diagnoses were somatic or faked. This led to a list of allegedly not-faked diagnoses being created which pissed people off even more because it was either psych, a bunch of common, relatively benign shit with scary sounding medical names like kyphoscoliosis or shit she could fix easily like GERD. Every time one chat would get angry at her for lying she'd bounce to another to cry at new asspatters.
Tonight chat finally decided they were done with Amanda and turned on her, telling her she needed to get off the internet, no one wanted her around anymore, delete her accounts, and don't come back. She's admit the PICC has been removed and was not for POTS but for dehydration, inserted by a GI. Her cardio wanted her to use her boring human mouth parts to drink liquids. And she posted a few tearful stories about how she's sorry she lied, she's leaving forever. She's deleted at least some of her many accounts. We've seen this with her a bunch of times so I'm not shedding a tear for my lost dairy supply just yet.
As per usual, when someone gets unpopular in the sicksta community their "friends" immediately decide to tattle in my inbox. Receipts incoming, there is too much to process in an evening.
