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

RE: IFGW and the chat. There are two chat regulars who never stop powerleveling. They were quarantined in their own private chat and have been talking at each other for hours about their brave struggles with really real illnesses that are real.

I feel like I'm watching an infomercial about migraines and chronic pain that just keeps looping but I'm too lazy to find the remote.

Some bold lies from Gwen Shank.
 

Do these people ever, ever sit back and wonder if it's odd that every single one of their children has the same rare disease? Or consider that's why the doctors think it's purely psychological and dismiss them? Like I get that there are genetic links to some/many of these conditions but fuck, you would have to have shitacular luck for all of your crotch-goblins to have every bad disease that is lurking in your genes.

MBP one or two of your brats, not the whole passel.
 
That’s a lot of rambling just to say “god wants you to pay attention to us!”
I assume that’s what she’s trying to say. Tbh, I’m still weirded out that their surname is Shank and they’re stupid enough to put it together with crazy in the username.
You mean "god wants you to give us money and asspats"
it's not just attention, it's money.
 
I’d be willing to bet that a lot of people much worse off than she is, didn’t spend anywhere near 70k on a transport van. Yes I read part of that “article” until I threw up in my mouth twice and had to stop.

I would love to know how she can get coverage for a $26,000 wheelchair for EDS and POTS

Because if she went through Numotion or a similar company? Those people know how to get people things (Because usually they have to fight for people who desperately need stuff that insurance won't cover because of stupid reasons) She likely had a good team who knows how to navigate this shit.

So essentially she took a good team's time away from someone who needed it to fuck around with her oh so severe issues uwu. Doing what these people do best and taking away from people who could really benefit.

TPN: not even once.

Receding hairline, double chin, obvious weight gain, still has not figured out what skincare is.. god damn, Dani. I am really loving all these SEVERE GP cases who get TPN and then plump up because they can't keep their piggy snouts out of the junk food when no one's looking.

The person she's with is Kelly Carragher, Kadee Konstantino's friend from NJ. She and dani are apparently besties now and trying to run some sort of spoonie care package thing together. She is also batshit insane, claims SEVERE GP from her eating disorder/ is tube fed, and over the summer she was claiming to have hundreds of seizures a day (that the local university hospital could not detect on EEG). .
They look like a couple of meth heads or some kind of hard drug users. And Kaydee was the cow who ODed on opioids right? I refuse to believe a substance free lifestyle could lead to Dani's skin looking that bad at her age. Her friend has a really insane looking face. Pig-like and weirdly proportioned wide eyes like a Hammerhead shark but I would forgive it if she weren't a leech muncher. I wonder if she has bulimia. Her teeth are awfully yellow. Do tubies still have to brush their teeth daily? I mean the real ones who don't eat real food.

yeah Kadee od'd on heroin with fentanyl in the home of a middle-aged woman who not only supplied her the lethal dose but scrubbed the scene before she called 911. She was addicted to painkillers she got from being an ER frequent flyer and apparently when she got cut off at the local hospital she resorted to street drugs. Hope it was worth it.

Both of them had purging-type eating disorders and vomited regularly, and Dani also has hardcore GERD, probably dating back to basically birth since she was born way prematurely. What we're seeing is yellowing from smoking/coffee/energy drink addictions and thinned enamel from acid erosion.

Kelly was never particularly attractive but at least when she was thinner and didn't open her eyes like she just got something shoved up her ass she looked halfway human.
 
SOS is claiming her o2 is 60%

View attachment 1042072

For those who don't know. If your oxygen is 80% or below your vital organs are at severe risk of damage. With Sats of 60 she'd be fucking BLUE. Her lips look really fucking healthy as does her skin tone. So now she's just outright lying and hoping no one calls her on it?

So glad we haven't forgot about SOS and her antics. Claiming a 60% o2 is so laughable considering at that level she would be confused, sleepy/unarousable, blue lips for sure and rushing to the hospital not posing for the gram with a cutesy filter so she can complain about it.

Speaking of complaints... How about her "normal" how simple cleaning tasks and being a mom puts her life at risk

*gasp*

How she looks so healthy in this nicely posed picture of her with her favorite mighty well backpack that she uses to Shill, her wheelchair that's a very standard not a custom one she's using as nothing more than a prop.. There are no ribs showing, no lack of stomach, no bloat all of which she speaks of in her post. I think the only truth in it is her blurb about how depressed she is. But even that she goes OTT with.

But wait there's more!!

Capture+_2019-12-11-12-16-10.pngCapture+_2019-12-11-12-16-35.png
She's got these gorgeous photos of her and her daughter everlee, both are healthy and happy in all three but of course half the photos are her showing off her stretch marks. Now I've never been a mom but I have alot of people I know who are moms and none of them speak so much of the c-section or the pregnancy issues during a 1st year post. It's about the giggles. The milestones the baby has hit, the journey so far. Hers says their journey has only just begun. Mentions her sea section twice and mentions how many stretch marks she got and how she had to have a drain, yep this story is all about how E just turned one, not about how super sick her mom is and how much of a struggle it was and how she's done having kids. Way to make your kids first birthday all about you 👌

But this poor special princess is sad because her kingdom is full of empty medical supply boxes and no one to clean up after her still even with how much she complains. Wants tpn again so speaking with everyone to make it happen (this is translation of course) also makes her husband's broken foot about her which is swell. Complains about her in laws coming to visit which yes I'm sure deep cleaning is a stress for anyone having in laws over but it's the holidays? Makes sure to throw in that she's at a level 8 of pain and moments away from seizing from pain - but I haven't seen pain being a common trigger for seizures
Capture+_2019-12-11-12-32-46.png

But hey I don't have seizures and in the munchie world anything can happen if you just believe, right? Either way it's just an extended post where she doesn't want to clean house and wants someone to feel bad enough to do it for her. Any takers?

But we continue on to taking good advice and shoving it right up someone's arse.

Oh the patch made you bleed and killed your uterus well that's perfect cause I don't want mine anymore and if I can make myself bleed enough they might just take it out for me 🤔 (again translated from helenaese)

And it wouldn't be a true SOS post without the "I never sleep cause I'm a mom with two toddlers and still haven't figured out how to be a mom with two toddlers"
Screenshot_2019-12-10-17-50-25.png

But her pots is acting up so watch out, or maybe she just feels funny after trying to sleep in a crib... Sleeping with a crick in the neck is a surefire way to get a headache.

But regardless she's still the same whiney mom with healthy photos and whining about constant appointments yet no updates make me feel like nothing is being furthered the way she was hoping.

Her stupid disabledhippy'ish posing made me roll so many eyes. Why are these people like this? FFS. No one wants to see these folks in their fucking underwear posing with their mobility and accessibility items like they are props. That does nothing for 'awareness' it just shows they are willing to take off their clothes for money. Which fine! If that's your thing I don't shame! Make that good money, but don't do it while claiming awareness.

Boohoo SoS, being a parent isn't a walk in the park are you really surprised. She's gone full on weirder than usual

Agreed. It's cringey AF and disturbing. I think it could possibly look like a mockery to people who are legit disabled and use a wheelchair or other featured props. I wouldn't mind some insight, but there is no way I would show any of these munchies to anyone with truly disabling chronic conditions just to get their opinion. Gonna assume it is anathema.

Yes look at you in your adult diaper a camisole as you pose half naked in a wheelchair you aren't using with cutesy lightroom editing in the exact same pose twice just one her head is slightly more forward. Like how exactly does any of this spell awareness? They're saying they should be able to show their body off like anyone else but... No one else is showing off their bodies unless they are shilling for something. Most people just take a few selfies or shots from vacation or whatever they're doing in life... Not some half naked posed shot with every munchie tool in view. She looks like she's taking a few leaves from disabled hippie with her recents. And she complains about parenthood while blaming it on being sick which is a different way of complaining about toddlers that keep you awake I guess. She acts like it's a special case...

Editing to add:

SoS goes on a whine fest because her husband whose the bread winner and reason why her and her girls are so spoiled has broken his foot and is to painful to help her clean the house. Oh boo hoo...

Also she's taking selfie lessons from Amanda, this doesn't bode well for SoS

Edited again to add:

More bitching

Starts to paint a real interesting picture of what the cause of her attention seeking is. Sounds like someone isn't very happy in her relationship.

Then she just kinda rambles on about her odd and end problems like has to make everyone aware of her bleeding to death uterus, which I feel like if she was really bleeding as much as she says they would have already done something for it besides just offered a birth control patch. And her feeding tube that she apparently hasn't been using or can't use because she needs tpn, moves every time she flushes it cause the "balloon moved". Adds in a lot of pointless info about how she's insecure about her hairy stomach but she really isn't insecure at all guise. And finally we have to ask the world if there's any good treatment for her mental illnesses which I believe are the only ones she should be seeking treatment for right now. Geez.

But don't worry she is thankful for all the random strangers who give her asspats for bitching about her husband who gave her a house and food and life and two daughters and how she can't even figure out how to be a mom or even a human for that matter. Yes thank you other munchies for your never ending suppprt/diagnosis sharing.
