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

[Chronicshillcow2ElectricB]

Oh god, it's WebMD in real life.

semi-related aside, I don't know how true this is and I'm sure it was wildly oversimplified because "god bless her, she's in the humanities," but someone told me that we all get mutant potentially cancerous cells every day and it's only sloppy internal housekeeping that lets it turn from a couple of genetic typos into a disease. Thinking of it in terms of how many millions of time your body did its job right is a lot more comforting than stressing about the one time it might fuck it up. And it makes people like "cancer survivor" Sarah Jean look like even bigger jackasses, which is very satisfying.

Sort of. It would be more accurate to say pre cancerous cells arise and are killed by your body everyday. Cancer occurs after 7-70 mutations at critical DNA segments, these mutations accumulate over time (why cancers are more common in old age). Leukemias and hereditary cancers require the least mutations (why they occur in younger people). Usually when a mutant cell arises it under goes programmed cell death or is killed by the immune system. When a cell avoids both of these and divides without dependence on cellular regulators it’s cancer. These cells don’t always divide quickly enough to make you sick, and are generally said to be harmless. When they gain the ability to cause illness then they’re cancer.

Yeah. Your immune system will kill cancer if it manages to find it.

Which is kinda the important part. Most actual aggressive cancers start hiding from your NK cells.

I hate to do this to you guys and will take the Islamic Content rating but Sara Grace is such an inappropriate freak. This overshare and her saying she has worse pain from hEDS than cancer patients do ,the crying selfies is why this asshole and all her information with a timeline belong here.

I think you attached the wrong photo. That attachment has nothing to do with Eds or cancer

Why is it all munchies seem to double as Karens? I guess they have in common the tendency to make mountains out of molehills, except in this bitch’s case the molehill is based on a false premise to begin with.

it's the inflated sense of self-importance combined with attention seeking behavior. those two traits are the core of many different types of unpleasant personality archetypes, munchies and karens among them.

I'm throwing out a wild guess that DPMIW is gunning for a feeding tube. My bet is that she'll get one of the outside-to-inside-the-stomach ones that looks like a peg rather than the icky, oh so uncomfortable nose hose.

 

[Daughter of Cernunnos]

DPMIW is bitching about how she definitely doesn't have an eating disorder and it's her sooper serious chronic illness that's made her skinny as a rail and fucked up her teeth. I actually feel nauseous looking at her nasty ass mouth.

I think other than her general attentionwhore tendencies she is showing us her janky teefs as it's some kind of proof in her mind that she's physically sick because it's not "invisible". Really all it shows is poor oral hygiene and possibly bulimia. Dentists are generally against mouth piercings even in healthy people so she's doin a big dumb to have that in there when she's literally had abscesses in her mouth before so tons of bacteria. Abscesses usually have puss too.
There are still ways she could care for her teeth with bulimia...
Rinse out the mouth after vomiting with a mixture of water and baking soda to bring down the acidity, use OTC toothpastes with Novamin and colgate sensitive prorelief that creates an artificial barrier to take on the function of natural enamel, floss and brush daily like everyone should with an extra soft toothbrush. Extra fluoride like a high fluoride rinse certainly wouldn't hurt and neither would normal mouthwash with thymol and essential oils to kill some bacterial.
Nasty hoe.

LMAO of course the only male Munchasen Kyle Maclean of Sydney Nova Scotia is from Cape Breton! Got get the pogey somehow!

She is fucked up. No boundries and clearly thinks she is the only person that ever suffered so much that cancer sufferers have nothing on her.

Day 2 of choking, Day 200 of not flossing her teeth.

I may be mistaken but I was under the impression that in true severe health anxiety they're irrationally worried The Thing is true, sometimes to the point of being afraid to talk about it lest they speak it into existence, but a test showing they do not have The Thing will calm the anxiety over it because they desperately do not want it to be true. Ex: find a lump on their breast and silently obsess over it being cancer until "good news, just a fibroid!" and then they no longer worry it's cancer. This dude is told over and over there's nothing wrong with him, his results are normal, the little blips he's focusing on are nothing of significance, and just refuses to accept it.

I don't think this is necessarily true. The best comparison I can think of is the standard example of a person with OCD who is obsessed with the possibility of leaving the stove on. Going back to the kitchen and checking the stove might calm the concern, but only momentarily. Not that severe health anxiety is necessarily a form of OCD, but for some people, having a doctor confirm that nothing is wrong might only grant temporary relief. After all (for example), the MRI might not have shown a brain tumor this time, but what if it was just too small to see? What if there was no tumor causing my headaches a week ago but now there really is a tumor to be found? If the doctor is wrong, I will die.

Another possibility is believing that doctors are involved in a conspiracy to keep the patient sick and refuse to tell the "true" diagnosis, but this guy hasn't shown any signs of that sort of conspiracy-oriented delusional anxiety.

I find the munchie guy hilarious, but I wonder if his diagnosis-seeking comes from genuine anxiety rather than a desire for attention like a real munchie. As far as I can see from the excellent write-up, he's not doing anything to make himself sick or fake being sick. He sees something about his body that doesn't seem "normal" to him and gets super worked up about it. It is very interesting to me that he got sucked into an obsession with the typical munchie diagnoses after his, uh, unusual original fixation. I guess out of all of the body parts, it's especially easy to overthink every burp and tummy ache. Dr. Google certainly doesn't help to explain that sometimes an unsettled stomach is just an unsettled stomach.

I hope to see more content of his moving forward.

Is MCAS a real disease or is it like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome where it's a "disease" made up to explain mental illness basically? I haven't ever heard of it before diving into this thread and it seems like they all have it.

It's the new fibro.

When you get a patient with MCAS and 40+ medication allergies strap yourself in.

Good evening farmers, I have been lucky enough to stumble upon a unicorn if you will: The elusive male munchie. And trust me, I can 100% verify that he is male due to the delightful photograph of his penis that he shared with us over reddit.

Meet Kyle Maclean, aged 26 and residing in Sydney, Nova Scotia,

HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT. That was a wild ride and it’s only part 1?! What a gift during a global pandemic. Munchie Safari you have outdone yourself with this discovery. When perusing the section about his numb cock I started snorting and had to cover my face with a pillow to not wake up my partner.

Also, when even the EDS subreddit isn’t indulging your symptoms then you are most definitely full of shit.

oh how I wish this numbnut was on Instagram! Altho most certainly his penis would be censored and reported quite often. Can you imagine the stories those poor ER nurses could tell?!?!?!

semi-related aside, I don't know how true this is and I'm sure it was wildly oversimplified because "god bless her, she's in the humanities," but someone told me that we all get mutant potentially cancerous cells every day and it's only sloppy internal housekeeping that lets it turn from a couple of genetic typos into a disease.

So oddly enough this topic came up on a recent episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. One of the cast members is Denise Richards (yes the actress/sex symbol formerly married to Charlie sheen) who is now married to Aaron Phypers who has turned out to be a bat shit crazy Bemer-selling alternative medicine naturopath in Beverly Hills as a “side hustle.” (Ok, I just googled this- he practices “frequency medicine.” ) ANYWAY. At a dinner party he tells everyone that cancer is actually just mutant cells that would have killed you in 12 hours but your body is “protecting” you by turning them into cancer. Suffice to say your humanities friend made it sound much more legit.

About the 2 min mark she mentions Keratosis Pilaris like it's a struggle, and I'm fucking dead.

For anyone who doesn't know, Keratosis Pilaris is when a hair follicle gets a bit clogged and causes bumpy skin on places like your upper arms and thighs, it's an extremely common thing associated with having human skin, does not cause pain or really anything except slightly bumpy skin. It's like complaining about your cuticles between manicures.
Only someone fucking exceptional would mention it in this context.
