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

Of all things, Victoria is now claiming she was a conjoined twin. In all my years of munchie minding, this is a first.

She probably has the harmless condition where you absorbed a twin in the womb early on and so you have little balls of hair, teeth and other body parts potentially, from the fetus you absorbed. Next time don't be fat and eat your sibling! It's called vanishing twin syndrome and mostly happens in early pregnancy.
 
Is there a new munchsnark yet? I miss that place
No, it's still just r/illnessfakers or here. There's a MunchSnark discord but you have to apply. I'm not in it and I have no idea if it's worth the effort. Probably not.

As far as I can tell, she (Victoria) only started mentioning this twin last week? I skimmed through her IG and didn't see anything about it. But, like, you find out about a twin you never knew and this somehow breaks you? I don't know. Seems unnecessarily dramatic to me.



But, honestly, this girl seems pretty dumb. I can't even follow some of her bullshit because I can't figure what she's even trying to say. She seems to be claiming that they messed up her pheochromocytoma surgery and that it was not only cancerous, but also metastatic due to surgical mistakes? And they're treating it with alpha blockers?

Also, looks like Chelsea Lawrence (@tanzchelsea) is trying to get her support (unless they're actually munchie friends?) and is running for some advocate award:

And in other munchie news, apparently Tess Nicholson (@tessyloowhoo) considers herself a martyr now:

She’s such a scumbag.

The consolation here is that her medical staff all hate her and have likely nominated her for a secret (joke) nightmare patient of the year and chronic bullshitter of the decade award.

Have fun with Dr. Henderson, Chelsea. Then you won’t have to fake your injuries and conveniently timed “stiff attacks.”

While your at it, since you will be in the area, you might also consider seeing the stiff person syndrome specialists at the prestigious medical institution nearby. You know, since it is becoming so debilitating for you.

No? Don’t want to do that? Not even when you have time and money to fly to see Henderson? I’m shocked!

You can see the real reason she failed out of life is because as she grew older, the cameras were not kind to her for stage work.

Where's her weird fucking accent? SHe's had this obnoxious accent in all of her videos, and now this pops up and it's nowhere to be heard.
 
I miss the regular updates on some people too, but I don't miss the pronoun pandering and the arbitary "no bullying" rules. If there ever is a new version of it, hopefully they get less hypocritical mods.
I agree. I love that they don't see the hypcrocisy of running a sub that makes fun of people, but also getting mad when we...make fun of people

I'm very confused why Tess has such a strong Southern accent, but claims to be from NH. Do I just not know what people like NH sound like? Am I really messed up about geography?

Edit: Tess also asserts she is NOT a racist, in spite of the Hitler avatar. Is the black guy with a watermelon also not a weird racist trope? I don't care that some heavyset munchie is a racist, because she can believe she's sick or black people are inferior, and she's allowed to believe whatever she wants. It's just pretty obvious she gets off on weird racist things.

NH does not sound like that. She is high 24/7 so the drawl is most likely related to that. New England has its own accent and even among the different parts therr is smaller differences. For example New England views "bless your heart" as an insult.

She doesn't sound southern to me. She did a live on TikTok the other day where she'd supposedly been drinking and it was boring as hell but she also didn't sound any different, which would support the high 24/7 conclusion.

Tess just claims edgy humor, if I'm remembering right. But when all your "edgy" humor is racist, then, uh, maybe let's just call a spade a spade.

I'm pretty sure this is wholly an American Southeast thing. I think you're mixed up.

Does "bless your heart" ever mean anything other than "lol you dumb" because I've never heard it in any other context.

In England it’s pretty common to say “aww, bless!” as a response to something cute, usually children. Bless your heart is not always necessarily “dumb”, I’ve heard people use it as a way of expressing sympathy after a bout of bad luck or a hard time.
 
It looks like Chelsea could be setting herself up for four munchie surgeries: hysterectomy, J tube, hip?, and spine.
Is a hysterectomy generally considered a munchie surgery now? What do they claim it treats? I mean, I’m not opposed to it, especially if they have it done without previously spawning, but that’s a real head-scratcher.
I thought self diagnosis for autism was bonkers, back in the time of innocence, 2011 or so.

But here we are. #ActuallyAutistic
I learned this week that the ActuallyAutistic hashtag was started to indicate the difference between an autistic person speaking for themselves and a non-autistic person (like a parent of an autistic child) speaking on behalf of the autistic community.

And then of course Tumblr misappropriated and ruined it like they do everything else.

This girl has the roundest face I’ve ever seen. Even before she got fat. Her face is a circle.
The way Dr. Henderson works is he gets you to do the upright imaging, calls you to tell you that you've got marked instability, possibly hEDS, and you need to come in for a consult. When the victim gets to his office it's either emergency surgery or a total 180. I don't think the guy even looks at the films before asking his victims to come see him.



That's just the latest example. I've read at least ten accounts just like this. All I can figure is that he's able to do so many surgeries w/o medical board intervention is because anterior neck surgery is low risk for complications.
I can’t wait for the inevitable season of Dr. Death (podcast or TV show, I’m not picky) covering the lunacy that is Dr. Henderson.

@Kate Farms Shill, that Sydney character is mesmerizing. That whole family just looks like sentient bowls of cottage cheese with dogs.

Endometriosis/PCOS are popular citations (so I hear). The interesting thing about a full hysterectomy if you're munching, is that if you're a forward-thinking gall, it can result in future problems to treat, such as a prolapsed bladder. It's not glamorous, but it's a crack at opiates and attention.
 
you know, i kinda feel like the munchiewives who die for their fetish give their husband his just reward, and i don't mean that sarcastically.

munchwives purposefully entrap their freierpigs in that hellworld where they're obligated to eternally sacrifice their own bacon for the gratification of the munchwife's exhausting, selfish mental illness. they can't leave the marriage without jettisoning themselves from their community and social circle (carefully pruned and cultivated by your wife as narcissistic supply for maximum villification) as a supposedly Real Fucking Asshole who abandons his frail, terminal wife.

then the wife finally fucks around to fatality and now it's both freedom plus access to all that OTT sympathy your X-wife carefully cultivated, because you're now the Tragic Hero Husband who stood by his illness-wracked waif-wife through it all. and it's pretty much a guaranteed upgrade to your dating pool, because most good people look for other good people and that'd be a good person gold star if it'd been actually legitimate AND it would keep away other sponges because they wouldn't be able to stand being the less Tragical Origin Story in the room.

plus even a quick donation windfall for your celebration party. like iirc jacq's sucker even got a house financed by the pitybux in the bag before she kicked herself off the cliff and kicked it.

i generally feel somewhat bad for munches who kill themselves through it, because it's unquestionably a mental illness, but not the ones who entrap others into slave-supply to their mental illness. selfish narcissism is a disease i only wish was fatal more often.

i could see how the ~agony~ of never being able to have a child/child again (like they would sacrifice their focus of attention for it lmao there's a reason male narcs troon out right after wifey has a baby) could be catnip for the social media tragedarians.
