Thank you for the dox!
Account starts in 2012, age 18, with a hospital selfie with a dog.
Next photo, we already have mastocytosis, a medical alert bracelet, and a brace on our leg. Buckle up, bitches.
Back in the hospital.
A few days later, admitted to Children’s and we find out she also has POTS.
The girl in the middle is Betsy, her best spoonie friend.
Yep, the dog’s a service dog and a natural alerter to POTS. Of course. So this predates Jaquie claiming Harlow alerted to her POTS by at least three years.


We got an epi-pen, a mask (not yet a vog! They were still brand new on the market!), benadryl, albuterol inhaler…
she has a wheelchair presumably for POTS and her service dog is also a lap dog
She’s in Maine.
She’s in Boston.
She’s at Carowinds in Charlotte, NC. Repeatedly riding on a Hyper Coaster would not be my choice of activity if I was prone to passing out from sudden changes in blood pressure, but do you, Brynn. Also, no wheelchair necessary after said activity, neat.
The day her life changed. Just in my 5 seconds of googlin’, it looks like this really isn’t too unusual a result and is more likely to be extremely sensitive skin than true allergies. Could be wrong though.
Back in the hospital.


Betsy is hospitalized at the same time. Betsy, shockingly, is not another munchie or an ana, but a very sick young lady who has something called primary intestinal lymphangiectasia. She was diagnosed as a young child and it causes her to have problems with edema, electrolyte imbalances, malabsorption, and a very weak immune system. You can even see in this photo that while she’s very thin in her arms and face, she’s got a bloated barrel belly from the edema. They apparently met through the hospital and became friends which takes on a new level of horror when you realize that Brynn often got herself hospitalized for her fake problems like this stay for her POTS (??) when Betsy was there because, yanno, Betsy caught some nasty opportunistic infection and/or could actually drop dead from a heart attack if her potassium crashes too low.
Days later Brynn’s back in the hospital after she “shocked” from the last safe vegetable.
She really has no other identity at all.

Old pic but from this we learn she did Tae Kwan Do, which Jaquie also did and excelled at. I really wonder if TKD put Brynn on Jaquie’s radar since they both would have been competing at the same time.
Their whole family was actually black belts in TKD.
I do not know why betsy is allowed to measure liquid benadryl for Brynn while they are both hospitalized but here we are.


Nearly every post she mentions something about her health. Prom pic? “My sexy orthopedic boot.”
Twenty admissions in 2012 and this time it’s something with her adrenals not working right cough steroids. Moonface ahoy.



Two weeks after discharge she is now on her 22nd admission.

And we’re shipping up to Boston! Doctor listed on her bracelet is just a normal pediatrician.
Upon arriving she is at Brigham & Women’s hospital to see Dr. Castells. Sounds familiar. I really have to assume Castells was just a good doctor who was totally unprepared for this wave of social media clout chasers flooding her office all at once, who took these girls at their self-reported history until she caught on. We saw from Denae’s posts that she was no longer a compliant pushover by 2015 and had been disavowed by many a MCAS port-chaser.



So many hospital pics. Her posting increases exponentially every time she's in the hospital. At home we maybe get a dog pic once a week. While hospitalized it's endless selfies and documenting any procedure she manages to score. EEG is the only one that’s really interesting.






Now she has AFOs. Steroid binge eating.
Finally released in time for halloween. I’m not sure if this was a continuous admission or if it was several shorter ones.
Baaarely scraping by with school. Homebound is a service for providing tutoring to students who have to take an extended leave from public schooling due to illness.
Saving all your hospital bracelets like prizes, #justmunchiethings
She doesn’t say what this is for, but we’re back out in a few days and shopping in a wheelchair with an ortho boot on.

Another admission. Gets an MRI.
All of this has something to do with Xolair.

Good news, it works!
So the photo doesn’t really matter but this conversation is interesting. Brynn is about to turn 19 and will soon be kicked out of peds, which she’s not happy about.

Hospitalized again the day after christmas.
Yeah ativan’s good stuff kid.
Turns 19 in the hospital. She really was trying to squeeze everything she could out of her last days as a peds patient lmao.

Immediately discharged.
Hospitalized again 11 days later, getting another EEG.


Diet impeccable as is expected.
Oh shit we’re goin’ ta disney!
And she lets us all know why Disney totally overhauled their disability system a few years ago: people were abusing it to skip lines. You don’t have to provide documentation to get a disability pass at Disney and it previously applied to your whole party so entire tour groups of 200+ people were declaring one person disabled, getting the pass, then using it to let the entire group line jump at every ride. Now you have to reserve a return time for each ride which is based on how long the line is (so an hour wait = your return time is in an hour) and you can only reserve one return time at a time. You can also reserve times for two advance selections the day before. It only applies to a max of six people per party which includes the person with the disability, so no more registering one person to get 200 people on the most popular ride in the park without waiting.
Also, HI ASHLEY ANNE CARROLL!!
We got the mask, the wheelchair, and an attention-seeking idiot wrapped in stickers meant for children.
Xolair must have worked famously. She can now eat chicken tendies.
Like all of these girls, her illness magically fucks off when she’s at Disney and allows her to enjoy every ride with no consequences.
As soon as she’s home: hospitalized! Please note that while her trip to Disney got but a few posts, she's about to spam the fuck out of her insta because medical drama is WAY more fun!
Reacting to the Xolair



Convulsions. I can’t understand these girls willingly getting pumped full of steroids all the time. I mean better pred than dead if you need it but corticosteroids are about the last drug I would take just for clout.
But I guess when every hospital stay gets you oodles of attention and coddling it makes it worthwhile
the dog alerts to seizures now. I’m sure I’ve said this 100 times for 100 girls who claim this but no. Studies have been done on “seizure alert” dogs. They are not able to alert to genuine seizures. They may learn to pick up on behavior changes just before a seizure but this is almost always in people who have an aura in which case they also know they are about to have a seizure. What they did find is that the people who claim their dog is super reliable with alerts to their seizures were actually having psychogenic episodes in
response to the alleged alert. In other words, the dog paws them, they take this as indication that they’re going to have an episode, then they do because the seizures are psychogenic and the suggestion and resultant anxiety triggers it. But I don’t even believe people like Brynn have PNES. I think they’re just faking seizures occasionally after their dog smacks them for attention and then claiming it’s an alert.
Around this time she makes an insta for her dog. Thankfully it’s barely used because god I hate chasing them across 15 accounts half of which are pretending to be a dog writing about ‘my girl.’

Hospitalized again in late february and we get another content flood.



Throwback to that time I was super duper skinny and first got my shiny service dog prize!
She makes a youtube video about how she trained her dog. Basically, the dog was a pet, she decided she wanted a service dog so the dog magically started “alerting” to everything, then she went to a few training classes. Most service dog programs are two years of training. A year of obedience and socialization followed by another of intense training and fine tuning. But moose only needed a few weeks of puppy classes at 6 months old to be perfect, of course.
Look, I'm friends with an
actual sick person!
Seizure free for three days!
Late march she makes it a month without being hospitalized, celebrates with a pic from when she was in the hospital.
The AFOs are for dystonia which would otherwise tear up her ligaments in her legs. That does not sound right to me at all. Dystonia is another one of those umbrella diseases where she hasn’t told us which kind she has and it could be anything from a serious genetic disease to a conversion disorder.
Regretting that moonface, huh?
“I shouldn’t have done this because of my x syndrome but it was
worth it!” - every munchie. Yes, totally amazing that when you have fun plans your illness fucks off entirely.

Days later: hospital pic!

Yay, her illness is letting her enjoy a concert!
Two days later: hospital pic!
I wonder what these doctors think seeing these girls who are so sick, so fragile fucking around in the hospital. And she’s traveled 200 miles for this.
“living off baby food”
Here we go. She went to Charleston to see her MCAS specialist seeking a toob. The specialist said it made no sense to go that route because whether she ate it or it was tubed in, it was still going to come in contact with her intestines. If MCAS reactions in her gut are the issue a tube solves nothing.
...and then, krispy kreme. “I wasn’t supposed to eat it, but I did anyway. I don’t even care if it kills me, because it was REALLY good.” Yeah that’s a totally logical thing to say. Any person with actual life-threatening allergies would definitely willingly come in contact with a potential allergen because donuts are just too gosh darned good.
We’re getting that Tilite Aero Z! Why? No clue.
Haha, remember when I said, in Rachel’s timeline, that I wasn’t really annoyed when she posted the leave it pics because she did it when the dogs were like 10 weeks old and it’s impressive there, but normally I laugh because the dog is like two and any two year old dog should be able to ignore food when commanded let alone a service dog? Yeah this dog is like two, and she directly tags Rachel as her inspiration.

Ahahah way to out that all your problems are anxiety and boredom. “I actually forgot that I wasn’t normal. I wasn’t constantly worried about having a reaction or passing out.” Therefore you didn’t, magical.
Annnd she gets the tube anyway. It’s #sickkidchristmas! No really,
she actually tags that.


Over in the comments she explains they don’t know why they gave her a tube. It’s just an NG so it’s no different than just drinking the formula.

But it's working!
...and she immediately takes pics of herself eating steak and candy when she’s supposed to be NPO on an allergy formula because she reacts to lichurally every food. I wonder if it’s painful to be this oblivious and stupid.

Seizure after seizure and a sickface selfie. I bet real epileptics would love to have these seizures that do not cause any kind of postictal symptoms.



I call this “oh shit, I’m supposed to need AFOs lmao.”
New specialist, this one somewhere near Myrtle Beach, SC, 2.5 hours north of the last one. Takes some time off from her busy schedule of faking ailments to enjoy the beach.

Again, she goes to a concert and she’s fine – she even gets to go on stage because she’s a super sick fragile baby.
We made it a whole 16 weeks without a hospital vacation this time! It’s a fairly long stay with many posts about how brave and strong she is.





Back out and driving a boat.
Well this is terrifying. Why are there two of you?
August 15 she gets her tilite and it becomes the favorite toy. Feeding tube who?
Lol Rachel is this where you got the inspiration to buy a used tilite on ebay?

Anaphylaxis and whoops, feeding tube is gone.
But did you know she's in a wheelchiar?


She’s drinking neocate, the same hypoallergenic baby formula Cheyanne will later claim is the only one she can tolerate. I guess she was told there was no reason to keep the NG since oral consumption would go to her stomach anyway and she was eating steak and candy while claiming to react to everything.
The wheelchair is for POTS.
“Practicing putting IVs in teddy bears.” Okay but why? Also why are your pupils the size of a small planet?
Tapering off the roids.
Yeah you can walk, congratulations. Also she pretended the board she broke was the face of every doctor who didn’t believe her. How many of them are there, Brynn?
Casually swigging benadryl at a masto conference nbd
new toob who dis? Rachel in the comments saying Brynn is an inspiration. Lol is she now, Rachel? Is she still one now that you had the strokes?


Betsy is actually sick, dear.
Now she shows off her gtube in every photo. Wheelchair who?

Have you considered exercising?
Backstory on her service muppet
Needs a cast because she fucked up the ligaments in her ankle in a fit of dystonia or something, who the fuck knows.


She was airlifted to Boston back in 2012? Since when?
Hahaha what in the gypsy rose blanchard hell is this? That’s the other girl she calls her ‘twin’ who is now rocking the seizure helmet and a power chair. Okay whatever
two days of continuous seizures. Remember when Katie Stanina had one for ‘only’ a few hours and had to be put in an induced coma to save her brain function? Brynn has the kind where she’s coherent and functional after 48 continuous hours.
Getting a button.
Ambu ride, I love when these girls don’t even hide that they treat the hospital like a hotel.
Imagine posting this to your social media lmao

released for a few days, back in the hospital for another anaphylaxis vacation

72 hour EEG and it sounds like her seizures haven’t shown up on any of the previous ones. How vexing!


Now her legs are not working
...and her house isn’t wheelchair accessible. Something tells me they would not send you home with unexplained sudden and severe muscle weakness to just flop around the house like a fish, and something also tells me you have no idea how hard it would actually be to pull yourself up the stairs with just your arms while your legs are basically dead weight.
Dancer, of course.
“wheelchair bound” except in the parts of the house where she can't get her wheelchair because it's not accessible.

getting casted for KAFOs, also her hair is now falling out.

Back in the hospital.
Six days later: Disney World!

Lol attention seeking. Rachel and her fat aunt in the comments.

Hello again, Ashley Anne Carroll!!!!
Gets locking KAFOs that force her knees to remain straight.

Hanging out at the hospital with this other chick who is on TPN.
ICU and sleepytime pics

Shes there for a weeks, crying and begging to be sedated at one point. She does not explain why.


She does show us that she fucked with her IV.


Lol is this a “no-no don’t fuck with this” bandage? Almost discharged and…
“close call!”

She gets a PICC with no numbing agent and is told she’s the first one to ever have this done. Sure.
Continuous benadryl. Needed a picc for years now.

11 days in the ICU for those seizures that don’t show up on EEG and passing out every time she sits up.

Sent home with a PICC which she proceeds to show off in every pic. G-tube who?
Back to pretending her legs don’t work.

Days later, ER but not admitted! something new and different!
SUDDENLY! She announces she has gastroparesis and now needs an NJ tube to make sure she can tolerate Jtube feedings before getting a GJ tube. NJ tube is her favorite thing now. PICC line who?


Grandpa’s dying, here’s a post about how I have a service dog.
Are you very shocked to learn she’s a big fan of Grey’s Anatomy? I bet you are.
Look at my PICC line dammit!
Because it’s infected! PICC removed and she can go to a concert tomorrow. How fortuitous!
She meets Demi Lovato somehow.
Subtle hospital selfie.
Previously claimed these were “strictly locking” but now she can unlock them to explain why she can walk upstairs. I guess having your knees forced straight all the time was not as fun as it sounded.
J-tube and a new PICC placed.
Another day, another hospital pic.
And now she has a power chair scooter thing. No, it’s not hers. It’s her dead grandpa’s. He totally wanted her to have it!
On an otherwise generic pic, HI CHEYANNE!!! And so it begins.
She makes her siblings epi-pen her. I'm sure that's not traumatizing at all.

HAHAHAHA holy fuck, she got bored of being “completely wheelchair bound” (which she never was, since even by her own narrative she walked with the KAFOs) and decided to just walk fine on her normal functioning legs.
Hospital time! Gotta make sure she pulls her shirt up so people can see her tubes.
She explains she can’t walk because of “multiple problems with her brain” but now can walk because that improved with new treatment.
Hospital again, IV antibiotics in the ball.
Here she claims she’s one of the first people in the US to be given a continuous benadryl pump. I believe it.
Theme park, better use my wheelchair.
And her line is infected, the
cat alerted to her problems, and she’s having seizures again.

Got the beads of courage going. Always gotta make sure the picc is the focus of attention..


So have you guessed which doctor in Charleston is signing off on all of this yet? It’s Dr. Lawrence Afrin, which we learn when Brynn announces her MCAS specialist Dr. A. is moving to minnesota.

Gets a “very last minute” port placed.


Wheelchair-san and the KAFOs have been all but forgotten now that she has all these new toys to show off!



She’s a walking miracle. Basically Jesus tbh.
She now has a stan and it’s weeeeird.

A few days later, sickest she’s ever been, on the neuro ward after a stay in the ICU.
Here we get some lore. Claims MCAS is genetic. She had symptoms since she was born but didn’t start having real problems until 11 or 12. Then she got the DTAP at 16 and lol vaccine injured! Her doctors totally believe the vaccine is what let the MCAS run rampant.
Once again she doesn’t tell us details about this hospital stay and we just return to normal content.

Her joints “twist around and pop out of place.”



Sister graduates, but PAY ATTENTION TO BRYNN. She was just dancing but now she def needs the chair, her tubes sticking out, and to steal her sister’s mortarboard.
Neck injury after a seizure, mom is supposedly the one updating us.
As is typical, she gives no details, just dramatic pics.

And she decides donuts are WORTH IT! Again.
Back in ICU after “a terrifying scare with my heart.”
Look at all the presents, visits, and comments she gets telling her she’s so brave and inspirational if you still think no one would fake this for attention, lol.



The real brynn is chapped lips, filtered photos, and steroid swelling.
Starting “chemo.” They all want that cancer clout.
Documenting that one time she actually had a rash.
Something else is wrong but she has to go to boston to find out what it is.

A month of lapping up attention in the ICU.
#theFaultInOurStars. Braces on her wrists now.
So much attention.
Lol she sent letters to the cast of Grey’s begging for autographs.
Now “robo braces” to protect her arms.
You sure you don’t just have eczema or anemia or really bad filters?
Weeks later, still in ICU.

Then she gets a new PICC because she’s going off the “chemo” and instead getting IVIG which can’t go through her port for some reason.

Seven weeks in the ICU. No, I have no idea how she pulled this off except that doctors were not yet used to young bored wealthy girls from the suburbs coming into the hospital claiming these rare diseases and she has Afrin giving her “team” orders.

Dystonic seizures, begging the hospital to intubate and sedate her again.

Her legs are now casted again.


Finally out of ICU after 7 weeks, immediately does her makeup. She wants it so she doesn’t react to it, as is tradition.


And she’s discharged after the casts come off.

Suddenly she can eat giant ice creams
and ride 7.7 miles on her bike and do elliptical on top. What’s wrong, steroid hungries got you feeling chunky?
Back in the hospital, no explanation.
Tube feeds down to 22 mL/hr but candy corn is fine.
Showing off her IVIG.
EDS is official. I have absolutely no fuck clue what she keeps doing to get casted.
Still at 22ml/hr. At 1 cal per mL she is only getting 528 calories
if she runs it 24/7.

lol. She was trying to hide that she was eating cereal so her family wouldn’t know and in her rush she dropped her phone in the bowl.
Just two adults hanging out in peds, as one does.
She wants to go to a color 5k so therefore she doesn’t react to whatever’s in the dust they throw at her or anything else for that matter.

Disease magically fucks off for her to go to Carowinds again.
And to do halloween makeup. A real mast cell miracle we got going on here!
Days later, really strugglin.
Going to Minnesota to see Afrin.
Lol this is a minor thing I caught, but she apparently decided it was too much hassle to travel with her Tilite so she goes without and just gets a loaner chair from mall of America when she’s there.
STILL at 22mL/hr.
IVIG IS A MIRACLE! She can eat again!

Lol, I guess her mystery seizures fucked off. Yeah, that’s a bad one to claim if you intend on driving.
Normie fever.

I just really like the juxtaposition of the two MCAS fakers with their steroid faces and the frail Actually Sick girl behind them.
All her conditions fucked off so she could enjoy a meal.
Making a big deal about a tube change, setting up for the inevitable complications. Trying very hard to get on the Ellen show and her fans tag the funny lady in the comments.


The inevitable complications, aka malingering for pain meds.
A christmas miracle, she is released just in time to do something she’d rather do than sit in the hospital. These vaguely sexual lips-tits-n-port posts are bothering me a lot.

Dog was “alerting” the whole time she was playing funny card game. Consider that he’s not alerting to shit and is just reacted to you being excited because he’s a dog.

In january she needs another new toob. Predictably ends up in ICU and we are inundated with many pictures to document this exciting time in her life.






I just
look healthy! I’m seriously super for real sick!
Feelin good!
Next day, hospitalized for surprise surgery!
So apparently right here she got featured in Cosmopolitan but it was on their Snapchat or something? I can find an article about her from 2017 but not whatever was posted in 2015. Whatever this was, it's the turning point in her journey because she goes from basically unknown to spoonie celebrity from here on out. One thing to notice from this point is that her comments go from Brynn chatting with friends and random prayer warriors to a whole lot of young women specifically saying that she is
an inspiration.


Filming for something...
Back on the bike and talking about her miracles again.
And eating ice cream.
Thank you, exceedingly scarce blood product that I don't need!
Do they ever stop to think about how many other young women in their same general demographic zone have the same super rare diagnoses and how very odd that is?
Photo filtered to death to make sure the circles look as bad as she can possibly make them.
OR! stop using it to hold a bunch of stuffed animals and headphones and shit? Just a thought.
Out for a hike.
Being courted by more journos. Now on oxygen at home.
Other things she doesn’t react to.
Nice pupils, kid.
From wheelchairs and locking KAFOs to riding a bike and walking a mile in flip flops. Just munchie things!

This girl is private on her account but she also has a port.

Obligatory sitting on the floor with my dog at the store pic.
Those ice chips look suspiciously like blue-flavored italian ice.
She gets a feature on CNN called “
Bubble girl allergic to life” (oh wow) and many flood to follow her insta. We learn she got diagnosed with IBS at 11, that her family decided she had MCAS then found a doctor to confirm it, and that she has a blog but it’s 100% navel gazing about how brave she is with no new information for us.
