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

[WonderWino]

Many people like the idea of bringing monsters of history to heel. But of course, if one names one's dog after a Nazi war criminal, others will naturally assume one harbors an affection for Nazi war criminals. Funny how that goes.

Rommel wasn't a war criminal, in fact he was well respected by the allies for refusing to carry out several questionable orders from the OKW, such as the commando order and the anti jewish orders regarding POWs. He was also forced into committing suicide in october 1944 after being tied to the assassination attempt on hitler. The funny thing is she called the dog general when he was a field marshal, so was too stupid to even get that right

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if that was her reasoning, but being a dumbass she picked one of the very few generals that were famous for the exact opposite behavior. She should have picked guderian or von rundstedt. But I suspect she picked rommel because it was the only name she recognized and figured german general = bad

Rommel was promoted by Hitler to the rank of Generalmajor in 1939. He was a one-star general.

She didn't name the dog herself. Rather, she retained the name given to the dog by a previous owner because she did not know how to train the dog to respond to a different name. She is not actually competent to work with dogs.

Holy shit Janiece just announced she’s pregnant.

View attachment 1937020

I’ll be surprised if she manages to carry to term given that she’s very underweight, very medicated, completely sedentary, and currently has an active eating disorder, c-diff, and some other medical issue she’s hospitalized with. Even more surprised if the kid is born healthy.

maybe we’ll get a crossover with the Tard Baby thread.

(and you know whatever the outcome she’s naming it after Jaquie.)

eta just saw the date on this post and didn’t know it was old news. Was new news to me.

If the kid lives, they'll have a holiday to Mayo, a EDS diagnosis and a service dog before their first birthday.

Hitler promoted rommel to field marshal on june 22 1942, and held several grades of general previous to that

and incidentally, generalmajor is the equivalent of a two star general

(sorry, dropped some SSs from that last one and can't edit it, here's the proof she was starving that she posted to insta. If I see anything else I dropped I'll add it to this post)

RE: her food pantry thing, she started this group after the local free stuff group kicked her out for being a psycho. Most of the meals she post photos of, she actually gives away from what I can tell.

Agree. She's going to be that skinny skanky lady who hangs out at local bars hitting on younger guys in another decade.

I would bet she maybe had some trace arsenic finding and a high Li finding at some point. Legit high Li would most likely not happen through supplements. They contain trace amounts. Now my purely hypothetical guess with the Li is that she took some actual Li pills from someone thinking they were some sort of "fun" med. Her low weight and almost certainly constant state of dehydration would have made that Li dose spike a pretty high level. Lithium longer term can also cause issues with fluid balance and even cause diabetes insipidus.

I think most interesting though is that she never shows any paperwork showing a finding of Li or As in her blood. I have a theory that someone at some point said that her symptoms potentially sounded like heavy metal poisoning (or that Kylie even tossed that out there) and that her mother jumped at the possibility that her daughter did have something wrong with her aside from her obvious ed and personality disorder dx. Her mother then pays to test the copious not-food supplements her ED daughter has been consuming. They may have even had some traces of stuff in them, but that's not her problem. If she had truly high levels of As found in her blood ("poisoned by mommy levels"), her mother would not have had to pay for testing. It would be a potentially public hazard and FDA or EPA or police would be notified depending on what they believe the source to be. Doctors don't find a level of As outside the bounds expected and do nothing to address it. At most, she showed trace levels of something--or in the case of Li they decided it was through intentional or unintentional misuse. Fun fact, we all consume somewhere in the range of 5-25 mcg of As per day. So actually, I posit that she either never had truly abnormal levels of either, or that she showed some abnormal Li level and a trace As level through taking a pill that wasn't what she thought it was. Who was the Matt she referred to her mother blaming the poisoning on when talking to her mom's friend? Her boyfriend in FL?

As always, KFS is the true hero.

Pretty sad how reliable the EDS and Munchie connection is. This "Rebecca" from the UK sounds like an EDS munchie to me and isn't that IF cow named Rebecca, in her 30s and lives in the UK? Could it be her in this article?

People With Chronic Illness On Getting COVID Vaccinated

archived 22 Feb 2021 00:10:18 UTC

Rebecca, 34, United Kingdom​

I have a chronic illness, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, [which affects your body's connective tissues]. People assume that that means I'm in a priority group for the vaccine, but I'm not. I'm in no more danger than the average person (less now, actually, as I've already survived a nasty bout of COVID and long COVID). Still, people assume I'm a priority. And what that really says to me is that people fundamentally misunderstand what chronic illness is.

This assumption that "you're chronically ill and therefore must be at risk" is about an inherent idea that people are either entirely sick or entirely well. That illness is a binary, when in fact the reality is that there's a spectrum or even a spider diagram of illness. Either you're sick and need a vaccine immediately, or you're well and don't. But that's not the way it works.

There are those of us who sit wavering in the middle, sometimes really sick, sometimes really pretty well. When I say no, I don't need a vaccine as a priority, people look at me as if this invalidates my earlier honesty about the consequences of my condition, as if this means I'm not as sick as I've claimed. My dislocating joints don't change my relationship with COVID; that doesn't mean they don't affect my life.

I wouldn't say claiming to have a disability and being a SJW about it means you have Munchausen's- Munchausen's means they're faking it. There are legitimately disabled people who believe that every person should be an expert on every disease/disorder in the world, and should never say anything insensitive/untrue/misguiding by accident, ever.

Still, people assume I'm a priority. And what that really says to me is that people fundamentally misunderstand what chronic illness is.

"You whine about how sick you are all the time--->Sick people have worse cases of COVID--->You are (or should be) a vaccine priority" is the thought process behind this assumption and it's not as crazy as OP is making it seem.
People don't know jack about disabilities because there are so many of them. Someone assuming she needs a vaccine doesn't mean society has a fundamental misunderstanding of chronic illness, it means they don't know that EDS isn't an autoimmune/heart/lung disorder.

When I say no, I don't need a vaccine as a priority, people look at me as if this invalidates my earlier honesty about the consequences of my condition, as if this means I'm not as sick as I've claimed.

I think if someone thinks this, you've failed at explaining EDS to them.
I think it's interesting that Rebecca, who has a super rare disorder, thinks that people not knowing jack about it reflects a wider understanding of (Chronic) disability. Don't get me wrong, people definitely are uninformed when it comes to disability and make insensitive/ignorant comments, but "are you getting the COVID vaccine" isn't one of them.

thanks, I didn’t know about the supplements. I had googled them a bit and found some study where in conjunction with kidney disease a dude actually had a high accumulation of lithium in his system just from taking them and figured she might have tanked her kidneys with the ED. But I also said in my draft that it’s easy to talk a bipolar who doesn’t want to take their meds into giving you their lithium. Ultimately edited it out just because it was SO LONG I cut out whatever extraneous theorizing I could.

it’s the same thought I had when she claimed she was on bevespi because evil doctor gave her what the pharma reps were shilling. It doesn’t make sense. Bevespi is for long term care in COPD *only* and at the same time AstraZeneca was also shilling Symbicort which had just been approved for asthma and short term use in the US. Its becoming a really popular treatment choice because the side effect profile is so much better than others. Hell, Chantal has symbicort for her fat-induced lung clots. What WOULD make sense is if her dad or grandma had COPD, got prescribed Bevespi, and kiley took it. Whether it was because she thought she would take two puffs and no one would know she wasn’t really prescribed, or because her family is like my mother forever trying to offer me a mystery inhaler from the depths of her purse every time I cough because boomers apparently never learned not to share prescriptions.

kind of unrelated but I was catching up on Last Podcast on the Left and they did a series a few months back on Jodi Arias, where they kept talking about how because of her narcissism, she really believed if she just told a lie confidently it would make everyone else believe it, and I think that’s a lot of what we’re seeing here. She isn’t telling the truth about anything but she’s saying it with just enough evidence that I honestly don’t know what really happened for once. The first time I scanned through it I didn’t even know if she ever made it to Florida since she never announced it and only ever had people going “wait you’re in Nebraska again?” For a long time my running theory was she had starved herself in Nebraska, been sent to Florida for treatment in November/December when she said she and Rommel were leaving the state indefinitely, then came up with the poison saga to explain why she suddenly recovered in Florida. Now my theory is the mysterious December 8 date was when mom finally let her move into the AirBNB property and the only reason she’s gained and maintained weight is to make her poison story stick. Can’t claim mommy was starving and abusing her if she’s still 60lb.

fuck I meant to go back and figure out who Matt was and other loose threads I only saw after I hit “post”. I’ll try to finish that up after work.

I love Last Podcast. I agree with your thoughts on the inhaler. It makes no sense for a dr to give for her issue when ye olde albuterol inhaler would be fine as a short term rx. I think her word vomiting is what's clouding the truth. At the most basic level her posts are just a personality disordered party girl w/ an ED. I imagine she wasn't getting the pity points (and getting people to hate mommy) by blaming her ED or failure to launch on mommy, so she pivoted to the poisoning bc it covered a bunch of bases. I think some of her posts are likely confusing because she is lying (or at least shading the truth) with a few different people irl and her posts are attempting to reconcile all those stories into one.

(Also, it is so fucking dumb the way the IF-adjacent subs insist on indicating pronouns for all of their subjects, even those who have never indicated being anything other than, in the words of our friend Sapphire Crimson Claw, "allopericishet". Especially for the screenshotted thread - it's discussing a fucking PREGNANCY. I think most of us can guess what pronouns to use.)

I assume it's an attempt to avoid another shutdown by the troon squad. Because you can do whatever you want on reddit, it's so totally free and open and cool, as long as you don't misgender someone - then you deserve to be hunted down and shot on the spot.

Someone assuming she needs a vaccine doesn't mean society has a fundamental misunderstanding of chronic illness, it means they don't know that EDS isn't an autoimmune/heart/lung disorder.

Yeah and hard to understand why people might not know that while these retards go around with their non-specific whining as if the minor condition they don't even actually have is making their life a living hell in some quite literally indescribable manner.

 

[Umaibae]

So, the tl;dr on Kiley is “white chick with unmedicated bipolar or borderline personality disorder constantly seeks/craves attention, so she starves herself to death, gets a service dog she doesn’t need to bring her more attention and makes manic posts all over social media...for more attention.”

I’m wondering if the mom’s quote of her being the “worst case” the doctors ever saw was due to her scary skelly syndrome and not the magical poisoning.

Also, what the FUCK is that eyeshadow situation?? It ages her so badly.

Thank you @Kate Farms Shill for sifting through the crazy.

Yeah i think the doctors saw something spooky in her blood tests but not what she's claiming. Maybe she managed to get her hands on something like lithium and took way too much, maybe she was making all her organs fail through starvation, purging, and casual alcoholism. We'll never know.
