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

Was it an IG or facebook? What happened to Tea house of Munch? It vanished from my discord. :(

eta: googling gofundme lyme homeschool leads to some pretty lolish shit. MY new favorite has "been diagnosed with Late Stage Chronic Lyme and Neurological Lyme Disease and POTS. After battling with Lyme symptoms almost her entire life she was eventually forced to quit working, at which point her family stepped in to help cover the costs of treatment which has been ongoing for almost two years. Foremost in these efforts was her life saving grandmother, dipping into retirement savings to help "

2nd eta: omg, I had forgotten the joys of the lyme people. http://www.fromthispointforward.com/2016/
GoFundMe is gold mine for munching . Searching there for Morgellons, Chronic Lyme/Late Stage Lyme, Leaky Gut Syndrome , Terminal Fibromyalgia/End Stage Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue bring up dozens of gfm campaigns trying to convince people these "conditions" are killing them.

You should check out the balanced blonde if you want a fun dose of Lyme woo insanity: https://www.thebalancedblonde.com/category/lyme/

She’s particularly obsessed with water fasting and pays to go to some quack house “healing center” in Orange County to not eat for two weeks way too often and her hordes of followers talk about how “glowing” and “luminous” she looks after only drinking water for 14 days. Also ironically she used to be hardcore vegan and then rebranded as “balanced” because she said she developed orthorexia, but now she’s completely fixated on curing her Lyme disease with wellness bullshit and following a “SOS” (salt oil sugar) free diet lmao. Maybe chronic Lyme does exist and the main symptom is being attracted to bullshit?
 
Kassandra Shore writes about Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a group of disorders that produce defects in the body's connective tissues, at @just.my.genes (4,700 followers). She said she started her Instagram page as a way to update friends and family on her condition last July after a major surgery. Well-meaning relatives couldn’t understand why she would seem fine at a party but need to go to the hospital so often. The fear of publicizing such an intimate journey kept her from opening the account to the public for months. When she did, fellow EDS patients started messaging her, and her following grew.
Shore posted a collage of her most-liked photos from 2019 in late December. All but one showed her in a hospital—standing beside an IV pole, in a hospital bed intubated after surgery, or close to the camera with half a dozen tubes curving into her chest.
“This is so fascinating to me bc all but one picture is of me at my worst possible health. This year has kicked my butt so much and I don’t share everything,” she captioned the display. She went on to give details about the difficulties the last year had posed, particularly an open heart surgery.
Dozens of commenters poured forth with support and their own experiences. “❤✊🏼i had the hardest in every way year whit [sic] my daughter who has cf [cystic fibrosis],” one wrote. Another: “Here’s to a better 2020. You are an inspiration to me in how you have handled everything.”

Kassandra Shore, one of the contributors to the article from Feb about the IF/IFGW subreddit, has decided to give up on treatments and die, someone started a gofundme for her so her mom could stay home from work and stroke her hair.

She fucking kills me. I never watch any of their (munchies) videos, but did watch hers after she decided to go into hospice. It was the funniest mix of bitching about people not caring enough about her drama and how unreasonable it is that friends expected her to do things not about her. I cannot even process how anyone can stand to be around that kind of nonsense. She also complains excessively about her ex fiance. Whoever her ex is dodged a bullet for sure.
 
Kate Farms Shill, what's your thoughts on your fellow reddit/discord mod's timeline? Do you condemn her the same way you did others?


Yeah got confused.
 
Oh god. The Redditors migrated to Kiwi Farms. I am so sorry everyone.

Yeah congratulations, you proved she's a nerd who wrote fanfic a decade ago, at one point wanted to go into a medical field (but did not and is currently full time employed in an unrelated field), had cancer and lost her hair and boobs, and is now mad that people fake cancer. Her port was out because she was actively receiving an infusion at a cancer center in that photo. The hair loss was quite clearly total loss of hair from the roots, not just shaving and far beyond what even the most dedicated person with trichotillomania can pull off. I've seen her treatment papers. She's a lot to deal with sometimes and we had a massive fight not two weeks ago over some shit, but she's not lying about having cancer or being a nerd.

I absolutely hated Alice when she first turned up. I made an isolation chat just to quarantine her and a few others because she annoyed me so much. What's funny is she also posted on that alt anxiouscassowary and i had no idea it was her. I loved anxiouscassowary! She was so funny. Just goes to show you how much your bias against someone colors all other evidence you see about them. This is why I tell people to go into this thinking everyone is telling the truth and find the major inconsistencies, because if you go into it believing they're lying you'll grasp at straws for proof.
 
that last line is very important and makes complete sense. Unfortunately it isn't something you or the other mods have done for other people. As soon as someone in the discord was seen to have medical items on show or discussed an illness, that was it, they were torn to shreds. You didn't afford other people the same courtesy you extend to your fellow IGFW mods. And you encouraged lots and lots of people to gang up on these people and tear them apart while they sit there trying to explain, some with far more evidence and deniability than Alice.. You've all sat on your pedestals and now you've been knocked off them. People here haven't seen you for what you are yet but I'm very sure they will.
 
KFS, I am so very glad to see you back. The quarantined area of the defunct Tea House gave me a hard time when asked wtf happened during your computer outage.

I don't have much to say except thank you to you and other detectives for providing hours of entertainment. The Gina/Gena saga is perhaps one of the wildest things on the internet. TFVG/Anna needs to git gud.

Seriously looking forward to the next stop on the Floridian munchie tour bus.

Like playing with fire, huh?

People here don't get their feefees hurt because a random chick on the internet didn't meet their expectation of open acceptance on discord. I am beginning to think maybe KFS has been too nice--hence all the "please acknowledge me senpai" shit. I am curious as to what was your name was on discord. Also curious as to what medical info you shared that got your feelings hurt.
