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

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
She doesn't. She thinks a husky will bring her attention because it's not one of the "fab four" standard service dog breeds. It'll make her sooper speshul. But not to worry, I'm sure she's tried to articulate some sort of explanation for why a husky is the "right" breed for her, to divert attention from the fact that all she wants is for people to notice her.
NGL, between the danger hair, skin and bones, ridiculous orthotics and absolute FILTH her hair and nails look like, I would probably notice her. And given an “in-training” dog I would get the fuck away from her ASAP, just like the absolute asshole who brought his poorly trained German Shepherd into a store that allows dogs. Dog was feet from my children with ferocious bark several times. I was not convinced I wasn’t going to have to kill it to protect my kids. There is a reason why only certain breeds are used as service animals, you jerks.
 
Ambien and ativan together are a hell of combo. You could legit get into a car, go steal at Wally world cook a chicken dinner eat it and have no memory of it. Add in marijuana and narcotics and most people would be dead. Ambien is one the worst drugs that was largely marketed for "sleeping". It doesn't allow for a true deep sleep and has a hell of a history for sleep activity. No good sleep doctor prescribes it. (Its a heavy PCP go away I dont want to hear about sleep issues drug).

Using marijuana while in the hospital is a quick way to lose any freedom. Especially if they are giving narcotics, sedatives etc. They will stop all visitors and take away everything but your naked ass. I dont give a rat's ass about marijuana in your personal life but when your life is a hospitals hands, I'm going to be damn well mad coding you and having a vape pen fall on the floor.

what makes it worse is that she hides it as MMJ and then says she uses other weed because the MMJ isn’t strong enough for her.
I strongly suspect that Laurie snuck her fancy $400 dab rig into the hospital to avoid a ton of smoke. Nothing like your mother enabling you.
 
New video from DPMIW.

Muh hypermobility. Baby giraffe walk, muh POTS. Dreams of going to the zoo sans wheelchair.

WOW. Those are the most poorly fitted KAFO's I've ever seen. They throw her whole gait off and cause her to walk pigeon toed. Or if she's doing the pigeon toed bit herself (I doubt it because a few times you can see her purposely correct it) she's gonna fuck her hips ALL up
 
nothing will ever top this girl's fancy walk though. the solution? decompression and fusion and more and more.

edit: I am a dumb and forgot to add the videos

I’m so over these braces so many of these munchies are showing up with. Slight PL: I have hEDS and we discussed braces annually when I was growing up. And every year we decided not to get them bc they would make everything worse in the long run. This is so obvious, but the asspats these (almost all) girls get are more important than the deconditioning that comes along with them.

OMFG

Look I know ya'll don't know me. I'm just a rando on the net. But I've posted gait reports before about AFOS (I think in response to Jacq?)

I look at gait reports all the time. Conditions that you would require KAFOs are instability of the knee and ankle, absence or weakness of the quadriceps (thigh muscles), knee hyperextension, varus or valgus deformity (bowed legs or knock knee) or paralysis. I was severely knock kneed as a child and wore KAFO for a year and still I did not walk anything like this person. I have never seen anyone who wasn't a munchy with a gait like this. She reminds me of the faker who claimed I think the flu shot (or hpv shot?) made her unable to walk unless she was running.

Polio, stroke, cp patients are the type of folks I usually see in KAFO's. And kids with severe issues.

the exceptional I posted is another eds/chiari muncher, here is her story. she privated her IG spoonfullygraceful. I think she's been talked about here before.


She says her funny walk was caused by IIH or some shit.
 
ALRIGHTY now that I'm not being rushed out to a dinner reservation, let's look at Miss Cassie's totally terrible ailments.
(Giant pics because I'm old and don't know how to computer.)

Alright, she claims hEDS. Symptoms: joint laxity, cigarette paper scarring, poor wound healing, stretchy elastic skin.
View attachment 630378
Those joints don't look hyperextended to me. I know fuck all about ballet, but I'm gonna guess getting to this level requires a bit of practice and a whole lot of stretching which would be pretty impossible if you had clinically significant hypermobility. Yet her knees are perfectly straight.
View attachment 630383
Stilettos. Nice. I'm sure with her super easy to dislocate joints that require full foot-to-hip orthotics these shoes will not cause any problems. I have absolutely no connective tissue problems that I know of and I would probably dislocate something walking in these.

View attachment 630461

Oh yeah she claims she had amnesia, forgot her boyfriend and who she was and everything, and tagged #amnesiawontwin for a while. That's so soap opera I'm not even going to unpack it.
View attachment 630384

Those shoulders and elbows look pretty gosh darned stable to me, too.
View attachment 630386
Standing naturally, knee locked, no sign of hypermobility.
View attachment 630391
And finally, holding an extended leg out long enough to take a photo, leg perfectly straight, hip and knee fine. And her hip isn't squared up like I would expect a dancer's to be in this position (again, don't know dance terminology, but in this position shouldn't her leg be more in line with her arm?)

So she doesn't have even the hypermobility one would expect of a ballerina who stretches the shit out of her joints. How about fragile, elastic skin that bruises and tears easily?
View attachment 630421
I mean you could say the adhesive from the unnecessary lidocaine patches would damage her skin but frankly, the adhesive on those things sucks. Even if you prep your skin and apply them perfectly you're going to have it peeled off on your shirt in an hour. Here's a pic of her without them after many many pics with them, just for shits and giggs. No skin damage here. Let's see then...
View attachment 630403
Hmmm... I can't imagine adhesive pore strips would be a good idea if your skin tears easily and doesn't heal.
If you've never used one of these fuckers, they take not only the gunk from your pores but also the top few layers of skin and the fine baby hairs out of your skin. They hurt like a bastard coming off sometimes.

Diagnosis: does not have hEDS. Not even as flexible as most other ballerinas, no hyperextension, no skin damage from repeated use of sometimes very harsh adhesive.


EDIT: PART 2: POTS/dysautonomia. Dizziness when standing from a seated or lying position due to not enough blood reaching the ole ticker right away. Symptoms: elevated heart rate, feeling faint, fainting when changing positions, heat intolerance.

She sure enjoyed her nice honeymoon to a tropical location where she stood in the heat. The average high in Orlando in May is close to 90 F. Poor baby was probably passing out left and right. She's from the northeast (Massachusetts) and definitely not acclimated to the tropics. It's often still cold as balls in Mass in May.

I don't know how to save/embed/link videos but she has a few dance clips that show her popping right up from a seated or lying position like no one with super serial POTS would ever be able to do.

Diagnosis: her autonomic system is fine.

CRPS/complex regional pain syndrome. A nerve issue following stroke, heart attack, or other severe injury that causes pain disproportionate to the cause. Symptoms: Constant burning pain, swelling of the affected limb, changes in skin color and/or texture in the affected limb, swelling, stiffness, difficulty moving the affected limb. She often uses the older acronym, RSD, for Reflexive Sympathetic Dystrophy because it sounds scarier. This is the first disease she mentions on IG, way back in 2012.

Here is someone with CRPS:
View attachment 630446
Notice that the affected limb looks goddamned awful and is swollen up to cartoon levels.


View attachment 630450
Which one of her perfectly normal limbs and extremities do you think she claims this disorder affects? Serious question, because I haven't seen her mention it once and it sure as fuck is a localized disorder.
View attachment 630452

No gross deformity here. Maybe it's one of her feet.
View attachment 630456

Oh look, her foot is swollen! ...because she took a bad fall and did soft tissue damage.
View attachment 630458
The very next day it looked markedly better.
View attachment 630459
And a month later both feet look healthy as fuck despite the kt tape she has wrapped all around it.

Diagnosis: people with actual CRPS should be grabbing their pitchforks and hobbling to her house for claiming she has this godawful disease when she's perfectly fine.

Final diagnosis: she realized she was only ever going to be mediocre at dance and was about to age out of competitions and classes, and with her very unfortunate fat distribution (girl's built like a linebacker) she would always be "company" even in the Bumfuck, Massachusetts Community Ballet Corps. She had no other hobbies or skills so one time she got hurt and claims to have suffered immense pain ever since. Now she's the bravest little ballerina, struggling every day against a litany of health problems but keeping her toes pointed and her chin up.

EDIT AGAIN TO AVOID DOUBLE POSTING FOR BULLSHIT: I tried to look up her dance videos on yt to prove she can stand up just fucking fine with no joint laxity issues, pain from CRPS, or POTS-related fainting. Instead I found a reborn doll morning routine aka a grown ass woman pretending her doll is a real child and showing how she "gets it ready for school" in the morning. Holy shit it's cowception.

EDIT THE THIRD.
Because I am fucking moron and didn't realize the url to one of her dances is in one of the screenshots I posted. Enjoy this totally exceptional dance about her serious pain disorder. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say she's not even a mediocre dancer.

Late as hell but faking CRPS pisses me way the fuck off. My aunt (who is like a mother to me) has it from FALLING OUT A WINDOW. Her hand/wrist/ankle are always bright red and ice cold. Claiming CRPS with no fucking deformity...how stupid to these munchies think we are?

Thank you for this. She's been my favorite since discovering the iconic sad walrus photo a couple months ago. Once she was transferred to the other facility, she leaped to the top of my kick-the-bucket list. Whenever anyone asks about her arm casts, the only explanation she provides is that they're for "infections." There's no clarification or anything, so it's fair to say that she's fucking with her shit and they've been on to her for a while. My best guess is that she was in some sort of longterm inpatient ED center, or she was at some point. You'd think they'd lock her down, but I have no idea what that whole world is like -- especially outside Freedomland.

I wish we got more insight from her family. It seems like she has some friends that orbit her pretty closely, but she doesn't say much about family involvement (aside from the occasional home fieldtrip).

Rather late to this thread but I went to high school with her sister. The entire family is deluded. Her sis has control issues, thought she was mega popular and that everyone wanted her advice (she wasn't and they didn't), she constantly complained about how the doctors weren't doing enough for Paige, she complained that her family had no money except they went to the US earlier this year (january through to february) including disneyland and none of that is cheap. She was jealous of anyone who did better than her and couldn't handle being told she was wrong. Her and her mother are freaked out about becoming anorexic and ending up like Paige as that's apparently what started all of this, so they constantly ate junk food to "keep a healthy weight" (obsese). She was always nagging me about being too skinny and tried reporting me to the school nurse as having an ED - I don't, I compete in two highly athletic sports and gym a hell of a lot to keep fit for them. She's a manipulative lying attention seeking bitch who's no better than Paige. Paige's entire family endorses her illness and think the health system is failing her. It's ridiculous.

How did/does Paige's mom fit into the equation? Based on the forum posts linked a while back (prompting Paige to DFE), it seems like Mom and possibly other family members have gotten fed up. I don't remember any mention of a sister by Paige in her most recent posts leading up to the nuke. Was there a falling out? I'm wondering how those pieces fit together. Dad and the younger brother seem like they might be the only constants in the family department for her, though Mom did make an appearance for some Christmas festivities, which I figured was more for the brother's sake than anything else. No sister in the photos then.
 
I found a chunky munchie. Claimed in a FB group to drive 800 miles to see a doctor. Feeding tube, vogmask, service dog, and all. Claims MCAD. Maybe claims EDS? Still rides horses, though.

The "I Stand For The Flag/I Kneel At e Cross" overlay on one of her pictures is funny as hell.

Made it to the end of the thread after a few weeks.
Fave moments:
-Reading Morgan's mother say "she needs to die because the system does not allow her to live." JFC. She finally gets to hospice with the promise of extra narcotics if she over does it and is horrified when they don't allow this.
"I'm pretending to be dying here! I deserve all the good drugs!"
That sure didn't age too well 3 years later and being kicked out of hospitals and called out for clearly faking.
- Bernadette Crisp:
switching off the disability long enough to do a long live stream where she berates people for ruining her shot at changing the world.
By her own account she loses the ability to speak and sometimes doesn't even wake up but yeah, she's at the steering wheel for groundbreaking change to make people nicer and not question obvious malingering bullshit.
You literally pick up and put down your symtoms at random and when it's convenient but yeah, the disability community needs YOU to save them. The drooling girl who can switch it off when convenient is who the truly disabled need to change shit for them.
No doubt it's hard to be disabled but I think these munchie hospital loiters confuse genuine and required sceptisism at their fuckery as the discrimination truly disabled people go through. It fucking ain't the same thing.
Seeing her dad gleefully hold up her slop feeds while she has the arrogant "yeah! See!" look on her non drooling face was just mind boggling in exceptional ways.
Oh to be selectively and conveniently disabled! All while screeching that you're the worst case EVER and a medical mystery as they kick you out because your clearly fine.

Eta Derp spelling. Also don't mind the one who mysteriously gets sepsis everytime she leaves the hospital but I was trying not to get too attached.
 
Using marijuana while in the hospital is a quick way to lose any freedom. Especially if they are giving narcotics, sedatives etc. They will stop all visitors and take away everything but your naked ass. I dont give a rat's ass about marijuana in your personal life but when your life is a hospitals hands, I'm going to be damn well mad coding you and having a vape pen fall on the floor.

Yeah. Cannabis does weird things to your blood pressure. There's an immediate drop and then about 30 minutes later you're above baseline, then that slowly subsides to below baseline. Your MAP is going to be all over the fucking place depending on when the RN/CNA checks your vitals and how high you are.

It obfuscates actual serious things that might be happening. Don't dab in the hospital, kids.

Meet Jenna, a 29-year old from Michigan who claims to have: "severe" gastroparesis, SMAS, digestive tract paralysis, POTS (Tilt table test at Mayo was borderline but doc said it was NOT POTS), neurocardiogenic syncope, iron deficiency anemia, hEDS (geneticist said she did not have it), MCAS, migraines, cluster headaches, hiatal hernia, osteoporosis, osteopenia, GERD, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and several more. She frequently tags "autoimmune" although she never mentions having any autoimmune diseases. Other diseases she has tagged but not mentioned: lupus, angioedema, lyme disease, and epilepsy.

Jenna claims to have cluster headaches, aka suicide headaches, but can simultaneously take a photo, use the laptop, and post to Instagram while having one.

She denies having an eating disorder over and over, despite a significant amount of evidence to the contrary. If she actually has gastroparesis I wouldn't be surprised if it's secondary to an ED.

She exhibits a ton of classic munchie attention-seeking behavior. Every year on her brother's birthday she's either hospitalized or has the flu. Pretty much every time she's around a new person, she has a POTS "fainting spell."

She cannot handle confrontation or stress in ANY way and says she gets "POTS attacks" that sound a lot more like anxiety attacks.

Jenna was allegedly kicked out of nursing school "weeks" before graduation due to her illness and super mean instructors. She is OBSESSED with being a nurse. She also seems to think that all of her experience makes her smarter than every medical professional around her.

That's really just the tip of the iceberg. Medical staff are all either her new BFFs or they hate her and want her to die. It's hard to find any in between.
:powerlevel:I get cluster headaches. You don't do SHIT. You sit in the dark and try not to move and contemplate suicide. They are a rare example of 8/9/10 out of 10 pain. When you're on that kind of pain, the lights ain't on. The phone ain't on. You can't talk. Sustained 10/10 pain is incompatible with life. They're called suicide headaches for a reason.
