If he thinks it is so great why doesn't he use it for his Crohn's Disease? I feel like him believing Janice is so frail and so sick fulfills some kind of psychological need for him.

How does a munchie react when they actually get sick for ''real'' with a serious illness like Cancer?

The desert mold lady, Bekah, has an IG. https://www.instagram.com/bekahfly/?hl=en She's posted within the last day.

Looking at her artwork makes me think of an old medical book my parents had when I was young. Covered everything medical and had a section on psychology. In that was a chapter with artwork that people with different mental illnesses had done. Bekah's artwork makes me think of schizophrenia, a bit.

I have a cousin who is a fairly well-known artist in our area, he's schizophrenic, and this really reminds me of his art. Not saying she is or isn't, but untreated mental illness can be a really powerful thing in these cases.

That was my first thought when I saw her artwork.

It seems like Janice is going to be / already has been diagnosed with PCOS. I don't know if this is the kind of dx you had in mind though. I think they are having difficulty conceiving and the most she has disclosed is that her testosterone level would be in the normal range if she was male.

(she never mentioned her clit being the size of a small penis though)

Your responding to posts over a year old. If you just read ahead your questions have probably already been answered

We've talked about this in this thread a lot, especially because of the coronavirus and Munchies getting toobz and other invasive stuff and then not liking the outcome. A good example is a spoonie instabitch known as dont pet me im working. She wanted a port so badly, had it for like a week and then got it removed. We pointed out that she has grimey living conditions so the port was a septic infection waiting to happen. One munchie named Paige Donovan from New Zealand has munched herself into hospice care with anorexia and puts bodily waste in her lines to purposely get an infection. I think most are too pussy for serious diseases though.

Morgan explaining to one of her silly followers that she has correctly self diagnosed EVERYTHING she thought was wrong with her (confirmed by her doctors).
It’s crazy all those doctors waste that time and energy at med school when they can just google stuff.

Sometimes you have to advocate for your own health.

But it should be phrased as "hey I've googled this stuff, these are my symptoms and I think I have this" rather than "MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE"

it’s pretty wild to me that the girl who definitely was not diagnosed with autoimmune encephalitis like she claims, is now saying she’s correctly self diagnosed EVERYTHING she’s ever suspected. She literally suspects Parkinson’s,dementia,autoimmune encephalitis to name a few. She’s insane

Sure, advocate for your own health. (Though if you're constantly having to "advocate" because the evil mean doctors just won't take you seriously... well, the doctors aren't the problem.) But "I think I have this" isn't advocacy. It's arrogance. Your PhD in Google Medicine does not put you on the same level as an actual doctor, FFS.

Medicine isn't a fucking restaurant; you can't pick your diagnosis off a menu. You can, and should, explain your genuine, life-disrupting symptoms, and request that they be taken seriously. That's advocacy, and is it sometimes necessary? Sure. Some doctors are incompetent. But you know what they say about assholes: If you run into an asshole in the morning, you've run into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day... maybe you're the asshole.

You have no suport offline because everyone sees through your bullshit and no one likes you. No1curr. Wonder how many of her "supporters" are just watching the train wreck during moments of boredom?

My local munchie hug on Facebook, sorry, “chronic illness support group” are positively venomous about doctors who don’t validate their bullshit, when they’re not complaining about it taking all day to do nothing or whinging about positivity. They’re very fucking salty indeed when their mad illness-Googling skillz are not taken seriously, to the point where one lunatic woman said she wished that doctors weren’t Christians so she would be more comfortable hoping they would burn in Hell.

When your colonoscopy comes back normal but you doctor shop for a colostomy bag.

Everything else aside (and it really does enrage me to see shit like "I'm so heartbroken that nothing's wrong with me!!"...), how the fuck is a colostomy the right treatment for incontinence in the absence of other issues? It seems insane to get a surgery that results in feces constantly oozing out of your abdomen when you could just wear a diaper (and that's if diet and medication don't help).

I'm sure fecal incontinence is embarrassing and hard to deal with, and there's an emotional aspect to having to use diapers, but a colostomy is also embarrassing and hard to deal with and there's no logic to performing surgery just to avoid hurting someone's feelings.

Whats worse is she claims to be paralysed and she has even revealed that she doctor shops...she found a GP that "confirmed suspected HEDS"

EDIT: Looks like shes DFE.

Maybe I’m reading you incorrectly but there is nothing wrong with showing up to your doctor’s appointment and saying “here are my symptoms, I’m concerned that I have x.” There is everything wrong with stubbornly maintaining that you have x after the doctors have explained to you that why you don’t, but the simple act of confiding what you’re afraid you have and why you think you have it would imo be beneficial for your doctor to understand your symptoms and for you to understand your diagnosis.

WebMD, as memeable as its reputation is, can be a good resource in the case of normal people who want to know what might be going on, even if the answer ends up being nothing. The arrogant people are the ones who use it and other unreliable online resources to prove they have whatever disease they want to have. Just because some people can’t take“you’re wrong”as an answer doesn’t mean that no one should voice their concerns regarding their diagnosis.
