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

I give her half props for not choosing the rictus grinning bicep-less arm pump selfies, but I find her sullen selfie face even more slappable.

tbh I don’t even think she could do one of those if she wanted to at this point, she has mutant superbugs eating a massive hole into her shoulder and her lower abdomen. She munched her way into legitimate hell, on top of the infections themselves I bet the antibiotics she’s getting have absolutely gnarly side effects.

I still can’t believe they casted her arms to try to stop her fucking around with her ports, that’s just hilarious(ly sad)
 
has coming_upkat been discussed? i dont remember seeing her?

she claims GP but if you go back in her insta she is recovering from anorexia/bulimia not even a year ago. I know EDs can cause GP but she’s marketing herself as a chronic illness WARRIOR. she also has tons of food posted on her page. I’m not sure how much of it she actually eats but she makes it seem like she cooks it for herself. And her “gene mutation” is MTHFR lol

She was able to eat this much food in February of this year then needed a feeding tube by May

seriously...so much food
 
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.
 
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

Generally what happens in the normal non-munchie population is that insurance will pay for spinal surgery but balk at physical therapy. Even in somewhat dubious situations (laminectomy and spinal fusion for lumbar spinal stenosis, etc.) Sometimes surgery is required and sometimes conservative treatments are better.

I don't know what the hell is going on with the Chiari thing. It's imaged easily, and in fact Type II and III are screened for via US in utero. Seems like a poor choice for munchin'
 
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
View attachment 1013614

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
Screenshot_2019-11-16-17-17-07.png

Here's the story post I'm sure you're referring to.

So SOS has become so super annoying since being released from the hospital. Either she's seizing and throwing up (which of course takes these cutesy filtered photos explaining how super sick she is and how she's been seizing all day, not how it works...sorry), or she's complaining about how she can't even eat via tube yet before she went to the hospital she was eating burgers with the kids. Mhmm. Also makes sure to bring up how super sick both her kids are though I'm fairly sure it's 90% normal toddler and baby stuff (sensitive stomachs, catch every bug, temper tantrums...). I know kids who actually are chronically ill and are not being paraded around social media for attention and asspats.
Of course she complains about how much she just wants to be home while in the hotel and now that they are home, suddenly everything is so much worse and she can't possibly live there. Does she think the military has some different housing they can just place her in? And does she think that housing would be the Ritz she's hoping for? What happened to all those air purifiers that they received through Amazon? Wouldn't you think to set a couple of those up on full blast in a house that just had construction done to it? And like I understand the frustration about the dog but kennel cough is hugely predominant in the boarding places and dogs can have sensitive sinuses and sneeze from dust just like we do... How is she blaming the border if it could be the dust in the air for the dog as well? I just think this poor little waif likes to complain about literally any tiny thing she can make into a crisis... It's getting more annoying than anything at this point. Idk how people can be supportive of her. So many try to tell her silver linings and be helpful and she makes them seem like they are a*holes for being positive... How much of a princess can you be?? Is the military life not the American princess life you were hoping for?
 
Paige does have a punchable face . As far as her nose goes isn't that saddle nose or is that something else ?

Saddle nose usually has an indent and looks a bit weird from the side. She's posted enough photos of her face that I honestly think she just has a Jim Bob Duggar pig nose

Thank you that's it! And yes! She was bought some very expensive air purifiers. I know for a fact running those in a home with mold issues can help (Side note: Most houses in the world have mold in them. It's a common and normal issue)

SOS really has become more annoying than she used to be but for some reason she's the munchie I've latched onto so I will continue to bring you all her batshitteryness lol

So she is in Washington.... Finding a home in western Washington without mold is nearly impossible. We have high humidity in the summers and nearly constant rainfall in the fall through spring months. Some places even flood quite frequently. People with severe mold allergies are told to move because it is impossible to manage the mold issue here. People with mild allergies are just told to get those nice hepa filters and get rid of carpet. She has the hepa filters and no carpet so I think at this point it's just another thing she knows she can get sympathy for.

Oh but haven’t you heard that Chiari type 0 is a thing now? And it can only be diagnosed with a super special upright flexion extension 3T MRI in Barcelona??
 
Fresh from the brazen infiltrators at IFGW, Amanda/Ren's genderspecial long distance whatever-the-fuck decided to do this in chat.

rOuvgot.jpgJHDxaGJ.jpgNdY3o0C.jpg

And the IF crowd are already crying about trigger warnings because even though OP put it under a spoiler and put in a comment that it was self harm, on a subreddit discussing crazy people who mutilate themselves for attention, that wasn't enough warning apparently. Kids these days.


Edit: OP sent me full unedited photo and if I can't unsee this neither can you.

I’ve always thought Paige seemed particularly punchable too, although I’d be worried that I’d carry every fucking superbug known to mankind after just touching her and there is not enough bleach in this world I could douse myself in to feel better. I need a shower just thinking about it, haha.

Jesus! Some people with toobs or even TPN for GP can eat, but the kind of things she’s posting? You’d be in absolute fucking agony! Even people without a tube would typically be rolling on the ground throwing a bit of a wobbly if they ate a handful of nuts or so. The greens, the beans, etc? Maybe even worse. It’s all full of fibre and the exact opposite of the low residue diet a patient is given after being diagnosed (although the low residue diet does tend to lead munchies to think its a free pass to eat like complete shit like lady buzzsaw up there). I’d be pretty confident in guessing an eating disorder for this one.

Oh my god SOS, I know you read here but do you actually take any information in at all? Formula is hard. Formula really hurts. Formula is not an easy way out. It hurting is normal, especially this early on, which is why some nose hoses stay in so long since some people eventually find it easier to go back to food/oral liquid diets (and that is okay - it doesn’t mean they’re less sick). This is what happens when you bully your way into the toob that you said you needed but you’re bitching about it already. Are you really prepared to give in this easily and beg for TPN already? I’d usually just sit back and laugh but you have gorgeous kids, kids. TPN is really awful and you don’t want to do that to your family. Don’t be that munchie. Also, have you tried Kate Farms? Heard it’s the good shit, dude.

I don’t know why I’m typing this since I’m sure she’s already made up her mind, lol. After all, this is the girl who is getting upset over people being happy for her that she’s home but they just don’t understand her pain so fuck them, boooo hoooo. So yeah. Throw hats at me if you like but the kids, man. The kids. (:_(

Guys the 'I want to punch paige in the face' posts are very MATI. Her superbug aren't hurting anyone but her and who knows, she may help advance medical science when they autopsy her.

I actually didn't think of the insurance aspect. Good insight.

It's actually pretty shitty how much insurance companies in the US control the standard of care. Both in what they pay for and what they won't pay for. Providers have to pay the bills, so there are a whole lot of unneeded surgeries performed.

The way reimbursement works, insurance companies would spend less for a one-and-done surgery than they would for two years of physical therapy. Or fuck even psych therapy, which is what munchies need instead of toobz. Insurers really do not like long-term recurring treatment.
 
So I was chatting to a friend explaining how people with legit autism do things to self regulate (a kid I work with was rocking back and forth in her chair cause she was super happy, was pretty wholesome honestly). Linked her the wiki page for Stimming and came across something you guys may appreciate :story:

I won’t deny the punchable face thing being MATI because it is, although superbugs can be really dangerous and it’s entirely possible that she’s passed on whatever she’s carrying to other people she’s been in contact with. I’m going to commit seppuku and go TMI too, and say that I carry a superbug simply due to spending too much time around other people with superbugs. Gross bitch over here.

Edit: Bless your heart and that feels react that I don’t deserve, but I probably should add some context - most people who work in a hospital environment are going to carry a superbug or three and so will frequent patients. Many ordinary everyday people now carry superbugs without being actively infected by it and people like Paige contribute towards the spread even further, and most don’t know they’re even a carrier until they become sick and immunocompromised enough through something like chemo to go from carrier to actively infected. So yep, again, she makes me mad at the internet. :alog:

Agonyautie makes me so MATI :story:

There's something about the way people on one end of the ASD advocates and completely steamrolls the other end that just gets me raging.

Stimming is not really a deliberate behaviour. Add in the fact that some behaviours (tapping feet, fidgeting) are common amongst everybody and you've got a nice munchie hashtag you can put in your Twitter bio in lieu of a personality.

That said, I hope she never stops posting videos of her squirming around with mobility aids she most definitely doesn't need because that shit's gold.
 
As much as I love IFGW I will never get over the fact that the redditors do not think I know that I am an asshole who says things that are not very nice. Bruh you're on a forum for discussing her private chat logs, medical records, and social media posts. Sugar coat it all you want, Regina George, this is still mean girl behavior.

In other news, this is one of the most unintentionally funny things I've ever read. The handwringers in chat are trying to get Amanda to admit she lied about everything as she is now backpedaling and claiming some of her lies weren't lies, and being confronted by the fact that she told different lies who different people who then talked to each other in a space she didn't control.

But in the midst of that ‼️⚠️MAJOR TW⚠️‼️ ‼️⚠️MAJOR TW⚠️‼️ ‼️⚠️MAJOR TW⚠️‼️ FACEBOOK MESSENGER IS DOWN ‼️⚠️MAJOR TW⚠️‼️ ‼️⚠️MAJOR TW⚠️‼️ ‼️⚠️MAJOR TW⚠️‼️ I AM HAVING A SEVERE PANIC ATTACK.
