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

[screemsfromthedeath]

Wait WHAT?

Rose never claimed to be terminally ill as far as I know. Who invites people to their funeral ahead of time when they aren't dying? Aside from someone trying to fake their own death, of course?

The only plans I have for my funeral are to play Metal Machine Music in its entirety and have everyone stand to attention for the full dur

she told us what she was going to do from the getgo she messaged me and told me she was dying at around 930 at night and my people drove me all the way to denver to be with her and they left i was in the hospital with her from the 20th all the way to the 27th when she got transferred to hospice. the more real talks came at hospice her mom said i was invited and that NO INTERNET PEOPLE WHERE INVITED and i asked can i get a copy of the memorial video so i can post it on her site and her mom was like NO NOT AT ALL

I think Rose is dead. The coroner emails line up with the form on the website. Someone used a gsuites attatched email to send them, which usually means a work or school email address. That's too fine of a detail to fake IMO.

The online obituary was published by a legitimate cremation service, and the other manager looks like an employee/contractor of that service. It's often included for free/low cost.

Her mom didn't want a bunch of fetishists and internet weirdos around the family that came to the memorial service. If she had one.

It's possible the mom didn't intervene with hospice b/c she thought Rose wouldn't go through with it -she'd live long enough to get kicked out. It'd be very difficult to go to court to get guardianship. Conservatorship OR to file for a mental inquest/involuntary psych review. It's also possible she thought it would encourage Rose to go through with it.

I think her sexuality meant a fulfilling relationship required that person being a live in caretaker. When she got clam slammed by her mom and the person who cares for @screemsfromthedeath, she elected hospice out of depression.

The dark comedy option is that she didn't intend to die, but one of the hospice nurses was an angel of mercy type that took it upon herself to ease Rose's suffering.

actully setting up a google apps for workspace is prutty simple and straight foward just buy a domain name for like 2$ and link it with google apps and setup a useraccount with the domain name and boom your good (google offers a 14 day free trial before you start paying for it) there are tools online to see if the email exist anymore and you can look at the mx records of the domain to see if its still linked to google or ifs fallen off)

Did @screemsfromthedeath delete whatever post he made recently? I was gone a few days and see responses to it, but not the original post.

i did not delete it but i do see that it is gone so most likely a mod did it (the post basically was me venting about how i have all these fucked up conditions and others on this sub are faking these condituions that i have. i was also looking for support in a sense

I hate to bully a retard, but can you please fuck off? No one cares about your issues. We were interested in your dead "wife," not you, so either spill the tea about what really happened to her or go away.

you guys prutty much know everything i know at this point i dont have any other info then what i have posted so far currently im working with the vital records office to get a copy of her deth cert but that is prooving to be very difficult

 

[SaltyButter]

Did everyone see Dani has a new BSSA bacteremia? She claims that she will be sent home with 6 weeks of IV abx and a new port.

Frankly I think anyone who knows her and her history putting in a new port is basically malpractice. Also how do they not remember she infected HERSELF with poop in her previous line?! She has also had some type of I want to say scan behind the heart to check for any problems there because the hospital was unhappy with the results from the normal tests and scans. I just cant remember what its called and I dont want to have to reload reddit to check. Trans=esophegeal echo maybe? Pardon my spelling.

I truly think that she is going to munch herself to death and there have been YEARS of ways to do more to stop her but I guess in the end shes too determined. She is even finding ways to make posts on a 1 to 1 which. I am amazed actually. I wonder if she took all of the pics in the hosp and is just drip posting them now from home?

 

[Polychromos]

I don't have a fetish of humiliation. I solely came here to a community that I know does not like people that fake these conditions I did not come here to get humiliated. I came here to vent and also maybe get some support on the feelings I have (in regards to feeling guilt for having the issues others fake and want to have)I even provided documentation of what im dealing with. you seam to be connecting dots that don't need to be connected or have no way of connecting to each other. STOP MAKING WILD ASSUMPTIONS im being genuine with these post im not sure how else to say it other then I came to a community that I know doesn't like fakers and that would possibly support me and give me some advice

It doesn't matter whether Rose is alive, or not. I think she really damaged you with definite malice. I do feel really sorry for you, because of that. I think you're just not over her "death".
As far as I know, you have a caretaker. Maybe this person can help you find a therapist? Not someone Rose recommended! I know of people, who started showing the same symptoms as people, they were close to, who had recently died. Sometime those where symptoms, that did show up on tests. But they went away when they got over the death. This took years sometimes.
I'm not a doctor and I can't judge your symptoms, but I do think you might have a skewed perception of how fucked up something like a trach actually is. This should be the absolute last resort, and even if one doctor recommends it, it's something you really should get at least a second opinion on!
Every therapist would tell you to not use this site and not believe anything we say. Our image is "evil nazi website, that drives people to suicide". I don't wanna put words in your mouth, but you really shouldn't argue anything we tell you. Still, my best advice would be to honestly tell your therapist your backstory with Rose and your current medical problems.
While I like Rose updates, I won't answer to you any further, because you really shouldn't post here.

It suddenly dawned on me the other day that it was now July and we never got a funeral update, but i was not curious enough to try to draw him back into the thread. I am still team she's alive and hiding, the facebook post about the bed was her... but then the fucking coroner emails man.

And if that was her it's probably the last proof we'll see for a long time considering it immediately made it back here and led to a whole new round of speculating on if she actually carked it. We know she read(s) here religiously. She not only said so, but she also knew that she should get verified before she made her presence known during the diaper blow-out and how to go about doing that. So if she's alive with Internet access then she knows as soon as she posted that we were dissecting it and her husband leaked a shitload of texts and videos and filled in gaps.

(And the thought that she was watching my drunk ass and her retard husband try to figure this out like some fucked up buddy comedy about a hardboiled detective and a dim but optimistic rookie has periodically just popped into my head and made me start laughing since then.)

Now that would be a buddy comedy I'd actually like to watch!

Listen, I think you're telling the truth, I also think your IQ is probably in the 70s so I'm going to be blunt here, ok? Lots of us here have some variety of chronic illness, and could provide proof if we wanted to dox ourselves, but we don't because that is incredibly stupid.

I have no malice towards you, but I really don't like how you've worded that.
I can imagine some users in here being chronically ill individuals, but I honestly don't think it's most of us. This post just kind of makes it sound like we're reddit with less power leveling.
There are so many reasons to dislike munchies, that I just really dont like this type-cast:
1. Several munchies where exposed posting here, so posting here is no proof of not being a munchie (and a lot of them also technically have "proof")
2. There are several medical professionals, who are sick of the bullshit
3. People, who take care of disabled people/family members
4. People, who fell for a munchies scam (monetarily, or financially)
5. People, who got sucked into the social media brainrot, but saw the light

You didn't say it's most of us, but I still think it's important to not sell ourselves as the true and honest ill people, which this kind of implied.

 

[screemsfromthedeath]

but I do think you might have a skewed perception of how fucked up something like a trach actually is. This should be the absolute last resort

yes I have had more then one doctor agree that ventilation is the biggest issue here. my pulmonologist wants to hold off on the trach to try any and all other options (which im down for) but like I said in my post we are slowly running out of tests and options both of my PCP's are on board with it but also agree that its a big stretch (they are only agreeing to it because its reversible they have also started saying that its looking more and more like that is the next step in this. I have been seeing this pulmonologist for about a 1 year or little bit more now and now he wants me to see sleep medicine which I got a intake with them in 3 weeks and they are kinda the last step at this point when they did my right hart Cath to see if I had pulmonary hypertension they found nothing they informed me that being on the vent my numbers where better vs off the vent my numbers are boarderline. they think the last echo I did was a fluke they want me to do 2 more echos one while on the vent and one while not on it and see if we get the same results as the last one was. this hart doctor told me that I need to continue working on my ventilation and he even agreed with the trach. my caregiver that I live with has expressed her concerns and she has even spoken to my doctor too and she is just as shocked as I am. she always says I look totally normal but when you spend time with me and read my medical records she said it all makes sense but doing the looking from outside in you would never guess. the lung problems have been an on going issue even before I met rose (thats kinda how we connected was that we both where on vents 24/7 she was on invasive ventilation and im on non invasive ventilation. we also connected over our feeding tubes I had mine for 4 years prior to meeting her in person I did ask Ninnah if I was faking any of this what she would think and she told me for one SHE WOULD KNOW INSTENTLY since she has a medical provider background and 2 she would stop helping me since I don't wanna help my self.

think you're just not over her "death".

you mentioned that Im not over her death and to a degree I guess your right. in the end rose died from starvation and malnutrition (thats basically what Nina says) and I agree with her. I got to speak to doctors on my own with out her present and they all told me SHE CAN LIVE A LONG AND HEALTY LIFE as long as she stays on the TPN and vent. 2 things that both me and her knew hospice would refuse to work with. the only way she was getting into hospice is if I agreed to work her vent (ie make sure she was comfortable and also make sure its working and to turn it off when she was ready. even before hospice transfer I had convinced rose to let me move in with her and we both where a little excited to do that but both her mom and my caregivers agreed that would be way too much. my caregiver basically said if you do that then you need to come get all your stuff and never come back. I have been homeless 3 times in my life and each time was a wild ass adventure I remember sleeping in my truck in a Walmart parking lot while I was saving money for an apartment did that for 3 months before snow started coming in and got my apartment moved in. all im trying to say here is that yes I think im not fully over roses death but I also don't necessarily think that im manifesting conditions because I miss her. most of what I spoke about in my first post I had been dealing with for years in Colorado the dumping syndrome was one that I got after she passed and did not expect to have. and that was the biggest one that made me feel upset was that people are faking this condition I have for various reasons. but I actually have it and it SUCKS like who on earth enjoys vomitting the food you just eat up other then the sick fucks that have a eating disorder that puke to stay skinny.

Lots of us here have some variety of chronic illness, and could provide proof if we wanted to dox ourselves, but we don't because that is incredibly stupid.

I agree that there are people here with medical issues of there own I was nearly wanting to to show the documents I had so that way you guys would not think I was faking the shit. I tried to leave out doctors names and hospital names. and you guys would provide support or some kind words of wisdom which many of you guys have done now and im actively looking for a therapist at the moment

 

[Not_a_Doctor]

Agree with @Polychromos - you don’t need to have a pre-existing condition to be appalled by people who rely on a fake or exaggerated illness to do the heavy lifting on their personality. All you need is a functioning brain.

You are all being incredibly nice to Rose’s discarded plaything - @Hedgehog beat me to it in telling him to go play with the children over on Reddit, leave the adults to their conversation. It’s past your bedtime.

@SaltyButter I saw! Who the fuck is giving that walking Petri dish of feculence a new one-way ticket to sepsis-town? Whoever it is clearly was absent on the day they did “first, do no harm” in medical school. REMEMBER YOUR HIPPOPOTAMUS OATH!

 

[Spunt]

Dude people saying "Don't share details of your health problems" was NOT the cue for you to share EVEN MORE details of your health problems and other embarrassing things about your life.

You really need to listen to what people are saying here because it could cause really big problems for you if you continue. It's probably best if you log off and never come back here, you are not equipped or prepared for the kinds of things that happen here to people who overshare in the way you have repeatedly done.

Go away. For your own good.

 

[Flourishing Pinecone ❧]

Who invites people to their funeral ahead of time when they aren't dying?

Well she was a dying swan for years, but when she went to hospice that's a pretty good reason to plan your funeral.

She claims that she will be sent home with 6 weeks of IV abx and a new port

Madness. Usually when someone needs a long stint of IV antibiotics it's normal to put in a PICC line and send them home with Nursing visits to administer their antibiotics daily, that's fine and it's a huge burden off the health system as it frees up a bed.
But when IV drug users end up with endocarditis and need weeks of IV antibiotics they aren't allowed home with their PICC for extremely obvious reasons, so they have to stay admitted for the 6 weeks. Dani should be lumped with them as someone who can't be trusted with easy IV access at home.

Also the scan she would have had was a transoesophageal echocardiogram - basically like the normal echo that you do with an ultrasound probe on your chest, but you stick the probe down the gullet (while patient is asleep) so you're a little closer to the heart for better quality pictures.



In particular, they're looking for little "vegetations" on the leaflets of her heart valves (particularly the aortic valve), which can scar over and cause the valve leaflets to fuse which then makes it harder for blood to pump out as well as for it to provide a good seal against back pressure so the valves become both stiff and leaky.




The reason we spend the money treating the problem aggressively with antibiotics is that it's still cheaper than paying for a heart valve replacement innit.

 

[eat your greens]

they were checking her heart valves to see if there were vegetated valves - most common cause is infective endocarditis. Those vegetations can stop antibiotic/drug penetration, cause emboli, etc. The treatment does take ages and there’s no guaranteed to escape permanent damage.

Back in the day the main cause of that kind of endocarditis was usually junkies using questionable water and needles to shoot up. Usually those patients would be kept in hospital to lower the risk of them accessing the port. Now it’s munchies injecting shit into their ports.

What a world we live in.

 

[often puzzled]

The only plans I have for my funeral are to play Metal Machine Music in its entirety and have everyone stand to attention for the full duration.

. . . are you me? How did you know the exact funeral I've said I want?

i did not delete it but i do see that it is gone so most likely a mod did it (the post basically was me venting about how i have all these fucked up conditions and others on this sub are faking these condituions that i have. i was also looking for support in a sense

you mentioned that Im not over her death and to a degree I guess your right.

Everyone here is giving you good advice when they say to find a support group in your community. You could look for a health-based support group OR a grief group (because I do think that your grief is real, regardless of whether or not Rose is actually dead-- after all, your currently living as if she's actually dead). I suggest asking your support person if they can help you find an appropriate group. There may also be Zoom options, if attending in person isn't an option. This website doesn't offer support in that way and discourages oversharing of personal information.

Frankly I think anyone who knows her and her history putting in a new port is basically malpractice.

I'll wait and see if she actually gets a new port. In the past, she's often declared that X intervention is definitely going to happen-- right before she's turfed out of the hospital without it being done.

 

[nuno bo2no]

thats fine my sole reason for posting here is I know we all are looking at the fakers and discrediting them but I figured it would be a nice change of pace to speak to someone that is legit going trough issues and has supporting documentation to go along with it. I also figured people here might wanna give me some advice on how to handle all of this. hell im also a little scared because you see people with feeding tubes and traces and they are about to die or are close to starting the process of dying and here I am 29 years old and have all of this like what on earth went wrong in my life what god did I piss the fuck off to put all of this on me. sorry ill turn my self to reddit or Facebook or something else I guess

You only get advice here when you don’t ask for it and just post stupid stuff online. But not here, generally, unless someone makes a thread about you (for posting stupid stuff online).

 

[GrouchPotato]

Why are you guys even entertaining this idiot? If you stop responding, quoting, and giving him attention, he'll just go away. None of this is interesting.

Now, tell us more about Dani's pussy port. This is the primo content we come here for.

I think people pity him because he’s very retarded. That doesn’t make him less annoying, though.

 

[Special Twizzler]

the only way she was getting into hospice is if I agreed to work her vent (ie make sure she was comfortable and also make sure its working and to turn it off when she was ready.

Wait a second.
She asked you to turn off her vent? Like… pull the plug?

 

[Poop Shoot]

Now, tell us more about Dani's pussy port. This is the primo content we come here for.

Sigh

I, too, would like to know about the pussy port.

 

[Not_a_Doctor]

Not much to report in Dani-land. She’s been busy clapping back at the haterz and repeatedly asserting that SHE DOES NOT CARE if people believe her calumny and lies. Is convinced she will get Pussy Port #2 any day now. Looking more and more like an Eldritch horror, her hair is truly something to behold. Taking bets on when it is going to all fall out and leave her looking like a burnt potato…

Seems to have actually lost some weight while in hospital as she is being forced to subsist on her comical rate of 15 mls an hour formula.

 

[It's Never Leprosy]

Whoever authorizes that spc, if she gets another one, should be the only one who has to deal with it when she puts poop in her line again. Or pulls the balloon. Every time. For now and forever.

I guess we should be grateful she isn't giving herself pasteurella like Tricia. Wonder how the lead coffin they're going to have to bury that one in is coming along...

Anyway, Dani is a gremlin and I wouldn't have sex with her, but I do like updates so thank you for this.

 

[Jupiter Doughnuts]

Just caught up on the last 30 pages of this thread today. There was a TMI powerlevel nearly every page and then it got capped off with screamsfromdeath these last few pages. It was starting to feel like reddit with all these random kiwi's personal lives/health issues. Thanks for bringing some milk about Dani.

There are so many reasons to dislike munchies, that I just really dont like this type-cast:
1. Several munchies where exposed posting here, so posting here is no proof of not being a munchie (and a lot of them also technically have "proof")

5. People, who got sucked into the social media brainrot, but saw the light

Some of us just think it's hilarious.

 

[RookTheFanatic]

There was a TMI powerlevel nearly every page and then it got capped off with screamsfromdeath these last few pages.

I am dead straight convinced that's a fucking child. If it is? I hope they fuck off sooner rather than later to somewhere that's going to steward them better. Won't someone think of the children or whatever.

In any case, my unwarranted take: if you feel the need to dump your medical history on us to prove you're "not one of them" or you have the REAL extra special ehlers-danlos or omega retard chiari malformation or triple venous compression dipshit syndrome and you want to talk about it?

1. I don’t care about your extra special case and I doubt others do. It's not interesting. Be more interesting.

2. Life just fucking sucks. You're preaching to the choir. Go elsewhere if you want to be coddled about that without someone stomping on your pity party.

And most importantly:
3. It makes you look fucking retarded.

 

[Not_a_Doctor]

It was mentioned earlier in the threat that the mushroom murderess was found guilty. Here are some gruesome excerpts from the news coverage for anyone wanting a palate cleanser after the recent deluge of whining from screems from death or whatever his username is….

Spoiler: Mushroom Killer Found Guilty

The Guardian

“Several hours after a person eats death cap mushrooms and becomes violently unwell, there is a period of relief. They feel as if they are improving. They are not.

This pause soon gives way to “a relentlessly progressive and quite frightening rapid deterioration into multiple organ failure”.

“The body’s different organ systems essentially shut down and the patient is extremely unwell, at a very high risk of dying,” the director of intensive care at Austin Health, Dr Stephen Warrillow, told Erin Patterson’s triple murder trial.

At times it seemed almost an afterthought, during an extended trial subject to ghoulish fascination, that Don Patterson, Gail Patterson and Heather Wilkinson died terrible deaths.”

On the cancer faking:

“Patterson said she was a binge eater who had struggled with her body image since she was a child whose mother forced her to weigh herself, she said. The day of the lunch, she binge ate two-thirds of an orange cake brought by Gail, then vomited it up – a plausible explanation, the defence said, for why she was less unwell than her guests later.

She also described regularly consulting “Dr Google” to understand health ailments and admitted to having overstated health complaints including cancer to elicit sympathy.”

In an NPR report we learn that one of the deceased even had a liver transplant to try and save them:

“The two couples started to feel sick that night, experiencing dozens of episodes of vomiting and diarrhea even after being hospitalized the next morning. They were initially able to share their experiences and medical histories with doctors, who grew increasingly concerned that they weren't experiencing just gastroenteritis.

Toxicologists determined that their symptoms were indicative of "serious toxin syndrome caused by ingestion of amanita phalloides mushrooms," also known as death cap mushrooms.

The patients weren't immediately given the antidote because there wasn't enough evidence to confirm they had ingested such mushrooms. Despite receiving other forms of treatment — including an emergency liver transplant.”

The BBC also has a good report including pics of the fatal wellington, and snippets of evidence used in the trial.

 

[InternetDramaFillsTheVoid]

Just wanted to add to the palate cleanser.

“Several hours after a person eats death cap mushrooms and becomes violently unwell, there is a period of relief. They feel as if they are improving. They are not.

This pause soon gives way to “a relentlessly progressive and quite frightening rapid deterioration into multiple organ failure”.

A very similar timeline to anyone who suffers severe radiation poisoning; vomiting, diarrhoea, feeling unwell, then the symptoms plateau, making the victim think they’re starting to recover. Several days/weeks later, BOOM! Kiss any hope of recovery goodbye.

Although in the case of radiation poisoning, the second fatal stage involves not only vomiting and multiple organ failure, but also your white blood cell levels tank, cells die and can’t be replaced because the blueprint for them (your DNA) has been rendered unreadable, your blood vessels spring leaks like a sieve…

Whilst I’d never want to be put in the position to choose between either, I think I’d prefer to die by Death Cap than radiation.
