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

[Kate Farms Shill]

I fucking detest people who parade around chronic conditions on the internet for attention. Furthermore, I disdain the act of constantly trying to use your disorder as an excuse for one’s own personal failures. I don’t want to overshare so I’ll speak broadly and say I’ve had a chronic condition since childhood, and part of why these people enrage me so much is that I believe their dubious claims will subsequently make people wary of those with actual legitimate conditions. Weak people are weak regardless of whatever diagnosis they have, and their constant excuse-making and sympathy baiting makes me sick. The last thing anyone should want is to be fucking pitied

Does this dyke have a repressed anal fetish? She's more obsessed with shite than ever. She just wants a cute male dr. to finger her butthole.

 

[Allo Vera]

Whoa, Nicole Gray is a blast from the past. I remember her on Instagram as Just Breathe Nicole when she was all about the psychosomatic vomiting syndrome. Wasn’t even aware of the brittle asthma.

It was so long ago, it was the era of Kelly Ronahan’s mysterious “blood disorder” and still having normal, functioning legs.

A lot of the old lolcow crew are resurfacing, like ChronicallyCarmel who was briefly the queen of the munchies when she scored herself a month-long admission to find absolutely nothing was wrong with her except she needed a therapist. The one who only started faking sick after her parents started fostering actually sick children? Who claimed she had chronic lyme when she lived in an area where there is no endemic lyme disease?

Still obnoxious, now has a port, EDS, 'tism, and the usual suspects.

She really, really loves to show people she has a port.

And now she's trying to get a powerchair with a recline-in-space function and is bragging about what a financial burden it will be for the government and her parents. What a cunt.

On plus they are bitch to get fixed in Australia and (i believe from talking with non fakers )the Australian government will pay for some of the modifications to a vehicle if not all of it

I hope kaelijae realizes she's wrecked what's left of her Twitch "career" acting like a cunt on Twitter all month when she could have been streaming. Everybody is home right now and throwing money at anything with a vagina and a webcam.

Bethany, that is an oxygen tank and not a POC (portable oxygen concentrator). Also, you most likely have sleep apnea due to obesity. CPAP and BiPap are the first options for an O2 sat of 77 during sleep. Or you know, a titration in lab study.

I am going to guess she ordered one of the online for "only 179 dollars" one. Those are super inaccurate and sleep specialist cannot interpret them for you. (You know, the actual doctor you saw).

And ever heard of Cushings? Because it's clear you have. Also, chapstick, please or some cold sore treatment.




Sorry for being, MOTI but in the middle of a pandemic Pulmonary/sleep doctors dont want to deal with your self induced refuse to help yourself sleep apnea.

Edited to add;

A power chair that reclines is useless in an ambulatory patient. They are used more so for those with autonomic dysreflexia which happens in those with complete injuries t6 and above.

 

[self-diagnosed dumbass]

Feel free to remove this if its not allowed, but I'm fucking over how bloggy the r/IFGW subreddit has become. At first people reigned it in but lately all the comments are just as bad as the subjects. "I have POTS and EDS, and i would NEVER do this..." there's even been full-on posts of people looking for ass-pats that are just....pure blogging. No way around it. I know a lot of people on this thread are also on the subreddit, so looking to see if anyone else has noticed the sudden surge in even more stupid spoonies looking for a moral highground by participating in IFGW while being the same kind of shit they claim to hate.

Looking at her pics, I bet she smells fantastic. And is an oxygen tank for home munchie use an easy asset to aquire? I feel like people could fuck themselves up larping with real O2 tanks. And if she had a sleep study, and her results were scored by a real sleep tech, then why doesn't she have a CPAP?

She probably *does* have a CPAP, and just posed with the oxygen bottle at the hospital. Tanks are not easy to get, compared to CPAP or concentrators. Often cluster headache sufferers, who find their attacks aborted by pure oxygen, which a concentrator can't provide, still have a difficult time acquiring it and will turn to welder's oxygen. Even though the indication for pure oxygen is pretty damn well documented. If that's her bottle, m I'm angry now.

Home O2 requires a PFT, 6 minute walk and a doctor stating reason for use. There few exemptions from this eg, hospice. It requires recert every so often (usually 3 months from first use and every year after that). Nighttime O2 requires an overnight destat as well. A POC requires even more documentation that patient is a good fit and it is best use. Usually cormorbid joint issues etc.

Sleep studies are ordered for a whole gamet of reasons. Most often its unrestful sleep w/a high stop bang, witnessed sleep apnea or loud snoring. A sleep tech reads the study and the doctor interprets. Most the time those in the mild category get education on weight loss, proper sleep. hygiene not using sleep medication etc. Those in moderate category usually get a CPAP those in severe usually get a titration study. Bethany only states her O2, and that alone isn't enough to DX sleep apnea. Often times home sleep studies only records basics, O2, respiratory rate. A sleep tech can read it, but you still need a doctor to interpret it.

Then verbally berates her nurse, refuses to stop recording, and demands to speak to everyone's manager rather than allow for an actual assessment.

I always love when these entitled cunts get 5150'd. That second when they realize they're punching outside of their weight class...ahh, it's to die for. They're on top of it for a while, but eventually, one day, they find a doctor that sees through their BS. It happened at Vanderbilt with Tay, and a ton of them avoid Hopkins. Inject that shit directly into my veins, bruh...

Well, this is cute. Nicole introducing Nicole (Onemorestep2 on tiktok)

What's up with her face? She's definitely not full-on deformed, but there's something messed up about it, like God peed on her DNA or something. Absolutely beyond belief that she participated in pageants. I mean, it's stupid when anyone does those, because they're so pathetically attention-whorish, but for her it's just...tragic. And deeply delusional. Of course she won, they must've thought she was exceptional. Most girls who are that homely wouldn't run for prom queen. I'm not exactly a style icon myself, but even I'd take out my nose hose before walking a runway. I mean, I have SOME dignity.

Dontpetmeimbitching has a new drooling r.etard toy. Oh joy.

Oh, fuck off with that Assburger's bullshit, ya dumb whore. Don't drag down the normal autists who just want to ree about comics and viddya games in peace with your attention whore bullshit.

EDIT: My bad. Mods, pls excuse my exceptionalism.

She must have imagined in order for her to go outside it'd be cool to have a nap every now and then as she does at home? You just need to convince everybody else of the idea. Maybe by focussing on the things you supposedly are unable to do. Yes, you are unable to nap while going outside, and this unpampered situation has to be fixed. Now I get it.

Fuck she fugly. Maybe don't spend your money on useless quack medical devices that aren't actually medical grade and take some lysine and anti-virals you disgusting creature.

I love IFGW but I am going to second this . It isn't little blurbs sharing a funny anecdotal story ,giving a little tmi or saying something in a way that indicates people know why someone is full of shit . It is full on blogging taking advantage of the relaxed rules and good mods .

It is really fascinating that it is almost exclusively people with EDS who do this and don't seem to understand they don't sound any different from people featured on IFGW . At first I thought it was people joking and making fun of someone else for blogging but there are entire threads in posts of several members blogging about how they have it worse than anyone else or blogging about how they have never blogged.

Yep, and it's embarrassing me to be a mod there right now. I've complained about the blogging in the past but I am outnumbered. Most of the bloggers aren't even regular participants - they come in just to tell their special story then fuck off when they get the asspats.

She probably *does* have a CPAP, and just posed with the oxygen bottle at the hospital. Tanks are not easy to get, compared to CPAP or concentrators.

Sarah-Jean has also managed to score an oxygen tank for exactly that reason - her 'cluster migraines' that are undiagnosed, that she herself waffles on whether they're cluster migraines or not. If there is a toy to be had, some munchie will find the right combination of lying and doctor-shopping to obtain it.

So is the consensus that Coronavirus is stirring 'em up something awful? This from the front page of the BBC today. I would appreciate a munchie: yay or nay?

Headline: Coronavirus: 'I know my life will not be saved in this pandemic'

26. Chubby healthy looking. No named disease. Power chair. Support dog. Tedx talk. Got an MBE, fer chrissakes.

I have so much going on - a nameless syndrome that stops cells making enough energy for my organs and muscles to work. I have multiple organ failure, restrictive lung disease and respiratory muscle weakness, a bowel that is always in and out of obstruction, chronic pancreatitis that keeps flaring up, an immune system that doesn't fight infection well and a new issue causing joint pain and fever 80% of the time.

And yet I have managed to survive sepsis 14 times - is that not a great track record?

The article reeks of "I'm the 9th most influential disabled person in Britain, I have an MBE for services to young people with disabilities and in 2019 I became a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts for my commitment to disability rights." I don't know...if she's a munchie, I guess she's using her munchie powers for good...? Sort of?

From her description I'm gonna guess a mitochondrial condition that doesn't have a specific name yet. There are many and they range from "supplement diet and you're fine" to "incompatible with life." Not saying she actually has it, but the description isn't that far off from some of the known named variants.

Charlie Gard had one of the super shitty ones that kills babies within a year of the first symptoms appearing.

Oh. Then I poked fun at a genuinely sick girl? Welp, going to hell.
