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

[cuddle striker]

Sorry in advance if I'm late to the party on this. I was doing some research on the munchie's fav surgeons who provide these bullshit procedures to basically anyone with cash, like Dr Henderson and Dr Gilete. Would this be the place, and would anyone be interested, if I did a dump on the information I've found? I know they get mentioned here and there on this thread, but due to NDAs and some other factors it's not super easy to find a comprehensive overview of their quackery.

dump it, it's great info

Okay cool, give me a couple days to sperg out and compile it cohesively lol

It can takes a hell of a long time to starve to death (example, Terri Schiavo), and that involves not taking anything into your body-no food, no water, no nothing. It’d be torture for a conscious person, which is typically why this only happens with people like end-stage cancer patients who are too narc’d up to be aware of it.

(Also, I call bullshit that she’s on hospice. Hospice care in Canada in underfunded and overwhelmed on a good day. Now couple in COVID, and there’s no way they’re wasting their limited resources on her.)

The key term to look up here is VSED: voluntarily stopping eating and drinking. The stories are pretty amazing.

Munchies aren't as hardcore as these grandpas and grandmas.

Hey guys this is my VSED vlog...

Laura is still going it looks like.

I don’t care how someone feels about vaccines in general but her of ALL people talking about people should be refused medical care and that she’s out of compassion?
That implies that she had compassion to begin with.
It’s just another way for her to wish death on people.

Called it because she’s predictable but always entertaining.
Full blown adrenal crisis where she’s dying because her doctor is abusing her by giving a professional opinion on her levels and treatment regimen.
Sorry to keep bringing it back to the constipation thing but if she’s really gobbling Zofran like that on top of Percocet and everything else she’s on?
That might explain some of her abdominal pain.

And then she seethes over her alleged rapist. Reserving judgement on that one personally because there are indeed shitty guys in bands that take advantage of drunk girls after shows etc, but she also lies like she breathes.

Probably should buy a journal for that Laura because Facebook isn’t it.

So…she has no food, no money for food (she says) and she’s contemplating ordering something…how you gonna pay for that?

Uh.....I have to ask.....how in the name of fuck can that possibly be legal? I mean voluntary assisted suicide is one thing. It has a specific manner of being implemented, using a cocktail of drugs. This is literally sending someone to a care facility that lets them sit there and starve and die of dehydration. Such facilities are supposed to have an automatic duty of care by their very concept. Just letting someone kill themselves in that manner is a real difficult thing to do legally speaking. Hospitals and hospices couldn't do it even if the patient was 100% willing and wanted it. At best it would result in charges for negligence resulting in death, if not outright negligent homicide. You couldn't even let somebody do this that lived with you without getting charged..... so how exactly are they getting away with facilitating this with literal dementia patients - people who by definition are not of sound mind and can't legally consent to assisted suicide even if they wanted to, let alone in this manner. No sane person would choose this method to commit suicide, they'd take the drug route like everybody else who does assisted suicide. There is a reason inflicting this particular method on prisoners was used by the SS to kill many people. Hell a guy got canonized by the catholic church for volunteering for it in another prisoners place, specifically because its a horrifying way to die

There is something very, very sketchy going on with that organization. Nobody in their right mind would advocate anybody commit suicide in this manner

I found some more on little miss vaccine injury, Dominique De Silva/Dominique Alfaro/@queencitydom.

In 2018 she sued her former employer, Sapphire Las Vegas Gentlemen's Club, for negligence. The suit was dismissed with prejudice, meaning Dominique can never bring about the lawsuit again.


In 2016, Dominique created company LV Modeling, Inc. Link Archive


When you google LV Modeling, Inc, the following page pops up. It appears to be a camgirl site. Link Archive

Now you could say, alright, this isn't necessarily connected with Dom just because it has the same name as her company.


But when you click on the 'contact us' button, it says to contact Nikki. AKA Nikki Rae, AKA Dom's porn alter ego. Link Archive


Further proof that Dominique De Silva and Dominique Alfaro are the same person. Dom's Etsy says de Silva, but the URL says dominiquexalfaro.


Dom's only had a real estate license since the tail end of 2019. Her Nevada licence is currently inactive. She does not appear to have a license in North Carolina at all.


Her husband's name is John Cypher.

Not true. This happens in hospice all the time. Every patient has a right to body autonomy.

One common thread with all of those stories was that they were not at a facility. Most of the people featured were in fact adamant that they not end up in a care facility as their dementia progressed, and this informed their decisions.

Did you read any of the stories, or the Common Questions section?

If you have an early dementia diagnosis, you're legally competent--but you're not eligible for medically-assisted suicide.
If you have late dementia, you have a terminal condition and would be eligible for medically-assisted suicide, if only you were competent to make that decision.

You can hear Joseph Heller and Franz Kafka both say "oooh, nice" to that one.

This is Steffi
(Ig @steffirr, main is @steffirobinson)
27 year old from Vic, AUS.

She’s a raging alcoholic who says she isn’t being helped by the system, but then bitches about the help she is offered and refuses all support.
She constantly body checks and denies it. Brags about ED and alcohol-abuse behaviours but then acts oblivious to her behaviours.
When she was inpatient, she once locked a staff member in the staff room by piling up beanbags against the door. She then sat on the pile and laughed as the staff couldn’t get out and the other inpatients freaked out/had panic attacks because of her behaviours.
A pathological attention seeker and liar. She puts up a fake, ‘sweet’ facade but is actually a complete narcissist.
She body checks, brags about the amount of admissions she’s had to hospital by often including the numbers in her bio, and acts as if she’s oblivious to the harm she causes to others from her behaviours.

Earlier this year she claimed she was withdrawing and posted a video of her “shaking” from withdrawals. In stories posted 1-2 hours later (which I unfortunately have no record of), she wasn’t shaking and showed no signs of withdrawal.
Perhaps not completely faking…. But DEFINITELY an attention seeker and OTT

 

[Thomas Eugene Paris]

Oh she’s definitely crazy and I agree with you on everything but the chill pills.
She already has a PAGE of those that she fights with caresource to cover when the actual doctors are doctor shopped and private pay.

This is a post from 6/20 of her medication.

She is on entirely too much medication on top of everything else. Munchie favorites in there but she’s also able to get her hands on the coveted stuff so she’s definitely going to private pay for appointments

She's on pilocarpine?! That's a rare-'n-shiny. Pilocarpine is a non-selective antagonist at the muscarinic cholinergic receptors. Because of its non-selective mechanism of action, it has nasty side effects, and in fact, that drug alone accounts for almost all of her reported "symptoms", including excessive sweating, nausea or vomiting, dizziness and syncope, nasal congestion, stomach cramps, headache, chest pain, facial flushing, bradycardia, and bronchospasm.

It's not commonly prescribed anymore because of the systemic effects. I wonder how she managed to get that one. It is/was generally prescribed for two indications: as an intraocular solution for temporarily reducing eye pressure on angle closure glaucoma and as an oral medication for chronic dry mouth caused by radiation to the head/neck or Sjogren syndrome. I imagine Laura claims the latter.

An email upthread from an endocrinologist had them calling her out for self treating with steroids (which she denied yet has hydrocortisone on her medication list, hah) so it could be her using that unchecked to cause the increase eye pressure too, especially considering the same endo implied that she otherwise has normal cortisol? She bangs on about taking thyroxine too yet it was posted that she was buying scripts written by vets for cats or some shit so I take that it’s possibly unmonitored in its use as well, although I don’t know enough medicine to know if possible self induced hyperthyroidism could cause increased pressure and I’m in lazy tinfoil territory now, lol.

No wonder she’s always so mad if she’s legit running around hyperthyroid and pumped full of needless hydrocort though…big fucking yikes if that’s true. She’s baffling, I can’t deny that she must be feeling like complete shit if what’s been posted about her in this thread paints an accurate picture despite munching her way to it. Got what she deserved going by how she treats the people around her though, I say. Batshit doesn’t even come close to how crazy she’s coming off as. What a strange way to munch!

Is she a college student, or just wanting to look like one? I missed her age the first time that I looked it over and thought she was several years younger than she is. Her room, her makeup, hair, and the way she dresses all are more like college student than someone on the cusp of 30. Then again, attention whore explains her look. Sounds like she is a party girl that never grew up. Does she just do the ED and alcoholism, or does she munch on any other conditions?

 

[Thomas Eugene Paris]

Does John know she's a skanky ho? Especially if she's spreading herpes around. That's pretty gross.

I'm going to guess he has an idea.

I also suspect that the "spreading herpes around" thing is greatly exaggerated if it's true at all. It's exactly the kind of rumor skanky bitches spread about other skanky bitches to make themselves look slightly less skanky and bitchy, and also the kind of story creepy, skanky men latch on to in order to explain why it's not their fault their junk is all crusty. As with many STDs, the rate of herpes transmission from an affected female to an unaffected male partner is not really that high, and it's even lower if the affected partner is asymptomatic. I'd also be curious about the timing of all of these herpes outbreaks she's alleged to have caused. Most of the time, it's not the most recent sexual partner who is the source of a new herpes infection.

Anyway, do I believe she's a skanky liar? Yes. Do I necessarily believe she's the Typhoid Mary of HSV-2? Not really.

100% agreed. The Dirty isn't exactly known for being classy or true. I honestly believe the prostitution allegations are highly exaggerated or completely false as well.

Oh, I meant that I assume she claims Sjogren syndrome. It's a dark horse munchie favorite.
