Munchausen By Internet: The Sickening
Previous Thread:
>>181656Robyn Brown ( @LifeUndiagnosedd on Instagram) is the epitome of an attention-seeking, sick role-obsessed person with Munchausen By Internet (see links below for more info). People with MBI either fake illnesses or exaggerate/deliberately worsen existing illnesses for attention. She has a laundry list of alleged mental and physical illnesses and conditions which may or may not be legit, and has been caught in countless examples of lies and inconsistencies. She is a frequenter of chronic illness/spoonie communities online for nearly every vague, questionable disorder, especially the "trendy" ones. She sees doctors constantly and blows the tiniest of issues into mountainous "crises." Virtually
everything she shares is related in some way to her illness and suffering.
Some of her hobbies include: taking selfies that showcase her alleged illnesses, disabilities and medical paraphernalia; making "pill art' (spelling her screen names out in meds); taking pictures of random people on the bus and ranting about how they are glaring at her for sitting in a disabled seat or how much they
trigger her, how much she loves work, collecting braces and finger splints, making her illnesses worse, creating more drama than Lifetime, collecting medical alert necklaces, bracelets, wallet cards and used EKG stickers, fucking with her wounds to keep them from healing (she kept a laparoscopic appendectomy wound open for MONTHS) while claiming her body is shutting down, and ranting about social injustices toward young people with disabilities.
Robyn has a litany of social media accounts with multiple aliases and profiles on Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter, going back years. All are sickness-oriented,.and she seems to change them whenever she has some sort of "crisis" or people catch onto her bullshit. She lives in the UK and works for the NHS as a ward clerk in the maternity dept. She's in her late 20's and engaged to her fiance, Zak (who seems to avoid mentioning her on his Facebook account).
From Dr. Marc Feldman, who first described Munchausen By Internet:in 2000:
"…the advent of online support groups, combined with access to vast stores of medical information, enabled individuals seeking to gain sympathy by relating a series of harrowing medical or psychological problems that defy comprehension to misuse the groups.[1] Communication forums specializing in medical or psychological recovery were established to give lay users support in navigating often confusing and frustrating medical processes and bureaucracy. Communities often formed on those forums, with the goal of sharing information to help other members. Medical websites also became common, giving lay users access to literature in a way that was accessible to those without specific medical training. As Internet communication grew in popularity, users began to forgo the doctors and hospitals often consulted for medical advice. Frequenting virtual communities that have experience with a medical problem, Feldman notes, is easier than going through the physical pain or illness that would be necessary before visiting a doctor to get the attention sought. By pretending to be gravely ill, Internet users can gain sympathy from a group whose sole reason for existence is support. Health care professionals, with their limited time, greater medical knowledge, and tendency to be more skeptical in their diagnoses, may be less likely to provide that support."

Alright farmers, time to continue the now-infamous Appendectomy Saga. To recap, Robyn exaggerated "muh bloated stumik" symptoms and kept pestering doctors for over a week until they finally admitted her to try and solve her alleged abdominal issue. They ran a bunch of tests over several days in hospital, but when nothing was definitive they decided to do an exploratory abdominal laparoscopy to see if they could find what was wrong. In that op her appendix was removed, which if I recall correctly she said it was abnormally long but that was it. If they go in, they take your appendix either way. It's pretty standard…so one has to question if this was all bullshit, like so many other "illnesses/crises" Robyn has. They also found a single ovarian cyst but left it alone. I suspect she had some pain from that but bitched, moaned and baaawwww'd about it once she was warned to look out for appendectomy symptoms and got her ~*glorious surgery uwu*~. She posted an ungodly number of selfies while in hospital, and another anon discovered that she was also blogging at the same time on another account about some [almost certainly self-inflicted] chemical burn wound which occurred a year before the appy event. Around the same time she blogged about both, she also wrote on her Facebook about potentially having a benign endocrine tumor.
We last left off at Part 15 of the Appy Saga, wherein Robyn began to have "complications" with her central laparoscopic incision. Allegedly the wound wasn't healing because ~*muh fragile EDS skin*~ despite the fact that the other two incisions healed without incident and the wound she had problems with was clearly being messed with to keep it open. It's all too shady. Strongly-adhering dressings "came off" for no apparent reason and the wound gradually opened more and more despite a normal healing trajectory at first. She had to have been debriding it to keep it widening and bleeding fresh blood.
The following are links to The Appendectomy Saga, Parts 1-12. Her initial abdominal "complaints" begin with exaggerated stomach-pushed-out bloat pics, through multiple doctor visits, to eventual hospitalization, exploratory surgery, post-op and discharge.

>>197413In the comments on the above post, a few things were revealed.
1. The story of the wound healing fine until a dog jumped on her wound and opened it is incongruous with her erroneous claim that it's ~*muh EDS*~ causing problems with wound healing. So which is it Robyn? Mechanical injury (what a shit story, too), or delayed healing from EDS? And if it's the latter, how was this incision healing just fine until the alleged dog incident, and how are your other wounds healing normally? What a load of horse shit.
2. Now she suddenly has had IBS for years! She just appropriated an illness in writing. Before, it was a suspected possibility for her vague abdominal complaints. Unbelievable.

No. 197560
>>197557You say people being racist or homophobic is worthy of criticism. What about when people purposefully fake illnesses for social or medical attention, and the impact that has on doctors' perception of patients who genuinely have those conditions?
Because that's part of why people who actually have EDS often go decades without being diagnosed or treated, even if their symptoms are present since childhood. Doctors see patients that come in repeatedly, patients like Robyn, and the hassle that they come with. The flaunting of pill hoarding or purposefully messing with surgical wounds against medical advice. These people make those doctors miserable, they get cynical, they start assuming that most patients complaining about those symptoms are just as fake. That is a huge problem considering EDS can be fatal.
I'm guessing you don't have EDS. You don't know what it's like to be written off because Munchies make you look like a hypochondriac. You don't know what it's like to have to jump through so many hoops just to find a doctor that will actually listen, because they assume that you're just drug seeking or making a big deal over nothing. And that's not even going into the sexism behind the whole thing, considering EDS primarily affects women after puberty hits and women are taken much less seriously in the medical field.
Munchies like Robyn affect the livelihood and health care of people who are genuinely ill. That's worthy of criticism. Sorry your head's too far up your ass to see the impact it has on others.

No. 197582
>>197579I don't think you understand how Munchies work.
Here's the thing about Munchies: They are extremely good at getting what they want. They know precisely what to say and how to act in order to convince medical professionals that their symptoms are legit, and they self-induce symptoms by doing things like taking unnecessary or conflicting medications, eating junk that will inevitably make them ill, and messing with open wounds so they get infected. If a doctor starts to suspect them, they jump ship and find someone new, often with entirely separate records. They are very, very good at it and it can be difficult to actually catch them since they'll just up and leave once someone starts suspecting them.
Also, things like posting records and other such proof is classic Munchie behavior. So is hoarding medication that she hasn't finished. We have no guarantee that she has to take all of those meds /right now/ and every day. They easily could be old scripts that she's been keeping for pictures. And depending on the country, it's easier to obtain some meds than others. In the UK for example, it's much easier to obtain pain medication than it would be in the US because the social dynamic in the medical field is different. There is less focus on drug seeking behavior in the UK, so it's easier to get unnecessary pain meds. If she was in the US, she'd likely be breaking the law with her drug hoarding since there's state laws limiting the number of pills you can have for opiates. Hoarding suggests intent to traffic and she could get sent to jail. Meanwhile, patients that actually need that pain medication are denied it because they're assumed to be drug seeking or looking to sell their meds. So yeah. I have a problem with her.
No. 197584
>>197579Not the Anon you're responding to, but I'm going to throw in my own two cents.
Munchasen's is hard to diagnose and often even if suspected (or having legitimate proof) doctor's and therapists will not tell you you have it. Reason being it can through the patient into a crisis state (an actual mental health crisis, not the type of "crisis" Robyn talks about). I can imagine that she may actually have BPD or that may be the disorder they think she has rather than Munchasen's. Whether we like it or not there are people with BPD who are manipulative, and do a lot of things for attention.
Doctor shopping and manipulation is quite common, though I must admit I don't know how it works in the UK and how prominent it is. And there are some doctor's who would rather give their patient a pill then have them come in on a bi-weekly basis taking time away from people who need it.
The fact is that there is a lot of red flags with Robyn. She has probably one of the largest collection of online profiles a lot of us have ever seen. Every new account either adds someone of her older "diagnoses" or scrubs it away.
Let's not forget this is someone who has claimed she may have a tumor and at one point claimed to have an eating disorder.

She has BPD and she owns that. I think a whole lot of you are raging narcissists and insecure bullies who could probably benefit from a diagnosis yourselves.

She very clearly has a fictitious disorder, and you're a fucking moron if you believe her despite the insane amount of evidence posted in this thread.

I don't believe she has BPD she doesn't show 6 out of the possible 11 symptoms, that's the general rule. She needs validation and acts irrationally, but that doesn't mean she has BPD.
She has Munchhausen's and she shows narcissistic qualities that come with being a munchie.

"someone who is a victim of circumstance"
>a victim of circumstance>a victimSure, Jan. There's a subset of people with MBI who have legitimate pre-existing conditions or experience with medical drama and attention/sympathy received; often in childhood, and crave the speshul-ness of that time. In Robyn's case, it was microtia which got her the most attention and sympathy. She went to a super-important prestigious hospital in London to see the top doctors in their field; she had a news story done on her; she became the queen of inspiration in a microtia support group, basking in all the attenshun and loving it - until people dared to not take everything she said as gospel ("but those parents should be listening to MEEEEE!"). No one is claiming Robyn has not ever dealt with medical problems. What we're saying is her melodramatic behavior and ever-increasing repertoire of uber-dramatic, severe and life-threatening and progressive illnuhssez and kryseez are over the fucking top. Every single tiny thing is blown into a huge fucking soap opera with her. She has been definitively caught in lies, and photo evidence along with her own text have proven she has exacerbated and tampered with her wounds
on multiple occasions to prolong the sympathy saga. Even the DOCS tell her to STOP wasting their time and go home and stop fucking with her wounds! Multiple docs, multiple incidents. Nearly all of them. You think we're all wrong though?
If you cannot see the mountain of evidence in support of Robyn
making everything as severe as possible and being the bestest most frajul delicate suffering ~*spoonie angle desu*~ you're duped beyond reason. But sure, Jan, we're all wrong. Robyn's family is wrong. Robyn's doctors and hospitals and every fucking medical scenario that doesn't go according to her romanticized, fetishized plan is against her, the whole world is out to get her, everyone on the bus is so obsessed with glaring at her or somehow marginalizing her because ~*invisubul disuhbilititties~* reasons, she is forced out of every fucking support community she has ever joined because she's a huge manipulative attention-seeking "must be the sickest" bitch. How many accounts does one need? How many clean starts after you fuck over everyone who trusted you? Why are there always problemz with everyone, everywhere?
When she doesn't get the response she wants, like super special treatments from doctors for her blown-out-of-proportion complaints, she threatens to stop caring for herself because "Why should I care about my injuries if they don't?" Does that sound normal to you?
Or how about the time she threatened to TAKE A KNIFE TO HER WOUND to make it bad enough to warrant the level of care she was seeking! Really? Nope, nope and nope.
TL;DR anons, this one is gone hook line and sinker. She has well and truly drunk Robyn's Kool-Aid.
Meanwhile, back to the wound fuckery saga that is sadly, disturbingly, 100% Robyn fucking with her central lap incision to keep it open and bleeding…

Also, she blatantly misuses the word "disability". If you can work and hold down a job and partner just fine, with no actual disabling going on, you are not disabled. This supports the claim that she's lying about her illnesses to play up the victim.

exactly the same info / 'evidence' about robyn as the rest of the world did (including those of us posting here) before she went and deleted her ig posts… therefore your argument that its "common sense" to believe robyn is totally legitimate based on what you have seen is completely INVALID - We too feel we have used our own common sense based on what wehave seen to conclude that robyn is at the very least malingering, if not suffering from some sort of ficticious disorder…
Personally, i believe that she does have some of the diagnoses she claims, but others she has aquired when they may have merely been suggested as a differential at various points in her life. Also i believe she genuinely believes she is a sick as she is claiming 90% of the time, but it is also very clear that she gets a perverted thrill from the attention she gets by publicising her dramas which is clear from her obsessive use of social media and constant exaggerations. She reminds me more and more of kadee (especially both their use of super dramatic wording!)

>>197800"Not Robyn", the reasons for "hating on" her aren't exactly b/s. They're clinically validated signs of Munchausen's, including Munchausen's By Internet.
To summarize:
* She works in a hospital, giving her access to information about the medical field and how the system works, as well as convincing medical terminology. Many Munchies work in health care on some level, making it even easier for them to deceive people because they know the ins and outs of the system.
* Medication non-compliance such as doubling up on meds that shouldn't be doubled up on, and hoarding meds instead of actually taking them while posting photos of constant refills.
* Eating food or taking medication that induces symptoms, or doing so with all knowledge that it will actively make the condition worse.
* Admitting to wanting to or actively fucking up her surgical wounds against medical advice because it gets her the attention she wants.
* Constant emergency room trips for minor issues. Munchies in particular are well known for being frequent fliers at the ER, especially rotating between different ones.
* Purposefully denying herself care or rejecting medical intervention because she didn't get as much attention as she wanted.
* Escalating to crisis state when confronted or questioned.
* Sock puppet identities and impersonating multiple people to keep the story going (see: your posts here versus on IG)
* Represents EDS as a caricature instead of the diverse spectrum that it is, and possibly other conditions she claims to have as well
* Constant drama, moving from one crisis to another, often ones that are fabricated or exist only in her mind
* Defending her innocence when a couple people confront her, then disappearing from all of her public social media accounts without a word

And yes, it's entirely possible to convince medical professionals to do unnecessary surgery. Medical professionals are human, they can be manipulated and deceived just as much as any other human being. There's no magic power that allows medical professionals to be objective 100% of the time. Some people even manage to convince doctors to give them unnecessary chemo, despite how dangerous that treatment is for people. They are not infallible.

>>197568>Well by your 'She's such a faker!!!' logic she must've had all that ear surgery and those lengthy hospital stays for shits and giggles rightMunchies jump at the opportunity to have medical tests and procedures. Look at what happened with her Appendectomy - tests were done, and nothing was found to be wrong. An exploratory laparoscopy was performed, and nothing was found to be wrong. She kept acting like she was horribly sick until the took out her appendix, which is an organ that was considered completely useless until fairly recently, and many have argued should be taken out as a routine procedure. It's not like the were removing a kidney. The wound then magically failed to heal properly, and she took lots of pictures, including ones wherein she was clearly pulling it open. And now she makes sure everyone knows she had surgery.
That is textbook Munchie behavior.
And her ear surgery, whoopty fucking do. It was a cosmetic surgery. And of course she calls it "Microtia" because that sounds much more serious than "deformed ear." And doesn't she claim to have hemifacia microsomia? Yet her face is symmetrical in all but one picture, which just happens to be the one where she's claiming she has the condition. It's also not a big deal at all.
>>197577>So now you're acknowledging that she has indeed spent a lifetime suffering from Microatia and all the complexities of the illness that come along with it (including but not limited to: hearing impairment, disfigured ear proportions and complications from complex and intrusive surgeries)?It's a deformed ear that doesn't
require surgery at all, you fucking retard.

You are correct that there is a risk of seizure with tramadol and that risk is increased with a pre-existing seizure condition and with concomitant use of SSRI's the risk of serotonin syndrome is elevated. There are quite a few pharmacological contraindications in Robyn's pathology list and med regimen. Tramadol was widely prescribed before the seizure correlation came to light and it is possible, if she has been on it a while, that the pharmacy overrode warnings and it was missed by her care team, but I have no doubt if her chemist looked up the contraindications, they would red-flag on tramadol, epilepsy and sertraline at least.
>>198010Can verify that your experience has been similar to many patients'. Tramadol was initially marketed as an "opiate-like non-opiate" and touted as an alternative to opiates in at-risk patients and/or an option for docs who didn't want to prescribe scheduled drug alternatives.

You're not inspirational Robyn. It might make you feel better to tell yourself that but in reality you're a malingering dumbass who's too lazy to grow up and move forwards into real life. Making up medical crisis after new condition after disease-focused account is just how you put off the responsibilities and expectations that come along with adulthood.

>>198029Nah, just keeping up with the saga and hoping to go into a specialty field, gotta be aware of how Munchies work if going into specialty medical fields. They're drawn to those areas like flies are drawn to politicians. Glad we're on the same page.
And can verify several of the risks of tramadol you mentioned, she also shouldn't be combining that with amitriptyline because it increases the risk of seizures and potential serotonin syndrome. Tramadol is more dangerous than people give it credit for because it affects not just opioid receptors but has similar effects to SSRIs, causing withdrawal from both if someone goes off of it and increasing the risk of interactions between a wider variety of medications. This is why I'm wary of people claiming to see specialty nurses instead of MDs, less education in pharmacology and dangerous contraindications. Nurses are also often much more sympathetic as a general trend and therefore are easier to manipulate by Munchies like Robyn.

Being mentally ill is not protection from being called on being a lying bitch.
>You've seen first hand how your cruel words in these posts can have a severe effect on those struggling, and yet you continue to goad and mock these individuals.Nope, we haven't because all we have is Robyn's word that she's in crisis over people not believing her, which she does pretty much every day from things as minor as a look in her direction. All things considered, I've got no reason to believe she's actually in crisis, especially considering Munchies do that when they're caught all the time. It's actually one of the major red flags of MBI.

The swab they did about 10 days ago was positive for bacteria, which is the 3rd infection I've had in it. I'm changing dressings regularly and using steristrips and a special silver dressing to absorb blood and I'm on antibiotics.

Marfanoid habitus literally means "Marfan body shape" and /resembles/ Marfan syndrome without the presence of Marfan symptoms. This is because Marfan syndrome and EDS are associated and have to be differentiated between by specialists (see: geneticists). There are many people with EDS who have marfanoid habitus and many who don't. People assuming that all EDS incorporates marfanoid habitus or that it doesn't is actually part of how EDS takes so long to diagnose.

>None of you have any proof yet she has a great deal of proof that she is genuinely ill.No, she's got proof that she's "convinced" enough doctors into believing she's ill enough to need pills or pointless surgery. That's not actual proof of being ill. Remember, one of the conditions she claims to have /has no actual test/. People go in with a list of symptoms, supposed family history and if they can manage to pass the clinical exam, they may get a diagnosis. Or alternatively, she had a rheumatologist utter the words "hypermobility syndrome" to describe hypermobile joints and she did a Google search, jumping to EDS from there. There is no actual proof that she has EDS, there /can't/ be because /type 3 can't actually be tested for/.
>As someone else on her said what else do you need? Her medical records?Posting her medical records would only further prove she's a Munchie. Munchies jump at the opportunity to prove they're really sick, it's actually one of the biggest red flags in the field.

Okay I'm still working on the EDS saga but I want to get this out there.
A while before having posted this pic, she complained about a doctor that told her to keep taking her antihistamines despite them possibly making epilepsy worse. Including, and I quote:
>Seen as we don't know what the seizures are or what triggers it or it or what type of epilepsy it is yet, surely avoiding something that makes it worse would be a good idea? I need a new doctor like seriously!https://archive.is/DwgYR#selection-121.9-121.218Here's the thing. This is one of those meds that has a potentially FATAL reaction with tramadol. Combining tramadol and sumatriptan has a really high risk of serotonin syndrome, which can induce seizures along with all other sorts of nasty shit. So she'll bitch about a doctor not checking interactions, and she'll check it herself, but does nothing about her own mixing of drugs that could very well kill her. Fucking wow.

>>199299There's something not right here. UK migraine sufferer, started on sumatriptan a while ago. I have a repeat prescription for sumatriptan so I can get it pretty much as and when needed, but it took a decade of other treatments before it was offered to me and as with all medication for migraines I was warned initially about overusage. When I mentioned concerns about how much I was taking (12 a month, or 2 of Robyn's boxes) to my neurologist the other day, he said that sumatriptan specifically has a 'golden number' of no more than 6 tablets a month, or you're running the risk of either causing bounce-back medication induced headaches, or of reducing the effectiveness of the sumatriptan until it doesn't work at all. So why would the doctor put 5 boxes on the prescription, and if they did, why did the pharmacist dispense it?
It's also strange she'd get prescribed 5 boxes of 50mg - because I tend to get 2-4 boxes of 50mg myself and sometimes have to double dose, doctors have offered twice to change the prescription to a 100mg dose so I can just get one box. Although this post is already blog-tier territory I have one more piece of information that made this weird to me - I recently mentioned to someone the cost of the 2 different medications I use for my migraines, and they said they could get me multiple boxes of legitimate sumatriptan for much cheaper than the prescription price very easily online if I wanted them to.

>>199366That's quality blog posting though anon. I wonder if she is buying meds online?

No. 199385
Okay shit, I'm still blogging, but I just realised something else which could be pretty big - I've recently been offered Topiramate for my migraines. This is a medication you take every day as a preventative (sumatriptan you take as an abortive medication) and is pretty serious stuff; I've done a lot of research into it recently because I'd have to change a lot of lifestyle factors to use it, like coming off the contraceptive pill to change to a coil and stopping drinking. Topiramate is used for migraine sufferers, but by far it's most widely used clinical application? is for epilepsy. It's an epilepsy medication.
If she suffers such bad migraines she's on 5 boxes of sumatriptan a month, and is epileptic, why isn't she taking the epilepsy medication also used in chronic migraine sufferers?
I'm not doctor but like I've mentioned in the diary entries, I know a lot about migraines, prescriptions and sumatriptan specifically in the UK. As with most of her medical maladies, something is definitely not right here.
>>199375Very true, it's a medication with a lot of risks that shouldn't be taken lightly, and it's a weird one to hoard as it has no recreational benefit whatsoever. In fact a lot of people get very strange and uncomfortable side effects from it. I almost hope she doesn't take it, especially not 5 boxes a month alongside any other medication!
No. 199387
>>199384oops sorry, I deleted and reposted to correct topiramax to topiramate. Thanks for the advice, I have found that there's a huge dichotomy in people saying it was a life saver or absolute hell. So maybe I'll take other anons advice of looking into Rizatriptan wafers.

Especially given how she complains about how bad they taste, letting them dissolve on your tongue for selfies is a damn good way of making them taste like shit.

And they do taste really shitty, having them sit on your tongue is pretty gross.
Also if she takes it before the migrane hits, she's not gonna get a migrane so hoping it's gone by the time she wakes up :( isn't really something you'd say, chances are you'd just have to take a second one when you wake up. Unless the pills aren't right for her then ofc. it's a different story.

The “Spoonie Life with EDS” Saga
I’m only focusing on one account right now, her IG hypermobilegeek. There’s probably more to the story elsewhere but there’s plenty of milk for the saga in this one so I haven’t bothered digging deeper yet. The harder she tries and for longer, the more shit falls apart. Her story is pretty much rags by the time she gets to lifeundiagnosed. The sad part is how badly this escalates within the span of a few months.
There will be some repeat images, the time line puts them into context and helps to reveal the lies as she gets more and more involved in her story. It will be long as hell too, my Word document detailing the whole thing is close to 50 pages long and has close to or over 60 parts. Please have patience with me, I’m a newfag and this is my first saga on an image board. I’m still not entirely familiar with what is good quality milk, I’m more used to formulating timelines than anything.
Summary, then the saga with proof and commentary follows.
What’s fairly normal behavior in the EDS communities:
• Going long periods before being diagnosed with EDS. Research in the field has advanced considerably over the past couple of decades, and if she was active in things like sports, injuries would have likely been blamed on that and not anything genetic.
• Starting from the claim of hypermobility syndrome to EDS, especially after others in the community suggest she look into EDS. This is pretty common, as many people with EDS are dismissed as having “hypermobility syndrome” long before realizing they actually have EDS. It usually has to take finding or lucking out with a doctor that knows enough about EDS to realize that their problems are more than just lax joints.
• Starting with supplements and then moving on to actual meds. A lot of people with hypermobility syndrome or EDS do this when they realize that it’s not something fixable with OTC supplements or pills like many other advertised conditions. Even the obsession with advertising what’s essentially her vitamins isn’t all that odd when it comes to EDS communities, a lot of people there count their vitamins alongside their meds.
• Giving her doctor notes. This is actually a crucial component to getting diagnosed for a lot of people when they’re finally able to get to specialists because it helps demonstrate the pattern of events that led them there. The specialist is then able to interpret the symptoms, check them against other possible conditions like Marfan syndrome, and work out a differential diagnosis from there. Additionally, notes can assist family members in getting diagnosed themselves. It’s not her having notes that is odd, it’s what she does with them that’s the issue.
What is batshit insane:
• The pill porn. Dear god, I have never seen anyone with a genuine case of EDS do this. What the fuck. We hate being dependent on so many pills, it sucks ass.
• Going to the hospital for every little sprain or dislocation. Most people with EDS have found over the years how to put things back into place themselves. Hospital trips tend to be reserved for… actual emergencies, or needing assistance setting the joint. Living in the UK with free health care is really no excuse to pester doctors with every little booboo, it’s a huge drain on NHS resources and they’re swamped as it is. As someone who works in the NHS, she should know this.
• Her dedication to being a ~spoonie warrior~. “Zebra strong EDS warriors” are the kinds of people I avoid like the plague. They are often insufferable and always make their shit out to be the worst there is. Robyn is practically their queen on IG, she’s taken their game and gone pro.
• Related to previous bullet, blowing up at people for making valid suggestions. I get people being rude and dismissive, I get being tired of dealing with them and possibly getting snippy. She takes it to the next level and really rips into them for no particular reason, all while advertising how truly sick she is and how she’ll NEVER GET BETTER!!1!11
• She looks a good decade older than she claims she is. This is pretty odd for EDS, including type 3. Folks with EDS have a tendency to look /younger/ than their chronological age because of the impact on collagen in the skin. I get carded when trying to buy a lighter. I’m nearly 30. It’s one of the very few “upsides” of EDS, so her claiming to have such advanced connective tissue symptoms but not having this feature sticks out like a sore thumb to me.
• Stopping with relevant specialists not long after being “diagnosed”. Really strange. EDS affects every system in the body since it’s essentially a defect in the glue holding the body together, and is known to come with several congenital defects or risk of some very serious comorbid conditions like craniocervical instability and heart valve prolapse. As far as I can tell, she never got this shit checked out. She saw the rheumatologist, got the “diagnosis” she wanted, and throughout the rest of the account doesn’t even bother to investigate other possibilities associated with the condition. Which is pretty much necessary when it’s impacting a person’s quality of life as badly as she’s claiming.
• The notes I mentioned. She advertises them on IG to all of her followers as well as showing them to her doctor, including in-progress shots and updates when she forgets something on the list. This is really, really strange and a definite attention grab.

Pt. 4. Same day again, July 13. This is where things start getting fishy and it’s clear she’s embellishing – the idea that her bones break before her fragile connective tissue gives away?! Yeah no, those ligaments would tear before “ripping away” any pieces of /bone/. If she has delayed healing, that suggests more involved connective tissue symptoms, and that suggests that things would tear in such an injury before her bones get involved. Bone is significantly harder than collagen defects and will take her tendons out in a bar fight. The reason why EDS comes with so much soft tissue damage and things like torn ligaments is because the connective tissue in those ligaments is so fragile that they cannot handle the pressure. That’s the entire point behind connective tissue diseases. Also it’s a bit suspect that she’ll buy this brace online instead of getting properly fitted for it, that is not a standard brace you just pick up at the store. Braces like this one are designed to treat specific issues, and using the wrong brace for the job can actually make an injury /worse/. She should not have just bought this online.

Pt. 5. July 25 2014. Starts claiming to have such bad dislocations that she needs her crutches to go up the stairs. Yet there’s only one shaft there, and the material is not the same as her crutches (which will be shown in a later part). Her crutches were a dull grey, this is a shiny silver. Pretty sure that’s a generic cane, not a crutch. Easily purchased at any pharmacy, you just walk in and buy it. For the record, it’s a hell of a lot easier to take a selfie of your feet when using a cane than if you’re using forearm crutches.

Pt. 6. July 30 2014. She starts using fancy medical terms for everything. Honey, “soft tissue damage” is a sprain or a bruise. And they’re standard procedure with EDS, not anything worth splurging on pizza for. If she had daily dislocations and subluxations, sprains and bruises are routine and after a while you just kind of move on. Maybe treat them with things like ice or heat, or maybe topical gels, but it’s really not comfort food worthy if it’s routine for her.

Pt. 7. July 31 2014. First picture wearing her braces. A commenter shares their story about having to be in a cast because of a dislocated thumb. This becomes relevant later when Robyn starts detailing a long medical crisis involving being rushed to the hospital for seizures causing her to dislocate her thumb and requiring a cast.
Regarding the braces: Really not a good idea to be wearing those every single day. The muscles no longer have to work to overcompensate for the ligaments, and they get weaker. Dislocations will occur more frequently if she wears them daily. This is pretty common knowledge in EDS circles. Braces should be reserved for activities that would increase the risk of subluxations/dislocations and hyperextensions, or for help in recovery from acute injury. Wearing that shit daily is asking for trouble. Also, they can be a pain to wash. Reminder that she worked at McDonalds during this time frame, where there’s lots of gunk and messes to clean up. That shit gets on braces and they’re really annoying to clean, you can’t just throw that left one in the wash. Robyn admits to buying them on eBay too.

Pt. 8. August 4 2014. Remember the random drama about wanting to have kids? Well, there’s more to it than that. Included it because it’s evidence of her fishing for social interactions with people from the HMS/EDS community on IG, which is where she could be getting her myriad of symptoms from.

>>199385I'd agree here. Yet another UK Chronic Migraine sufferer. It was several years of escalating migraines before I was given more than just Migraleve (co-codamol based tablets). Then I was given Sumatriptan but advised to limit my use due to the risk of it increasing my seizures. After a while, my Neurologist put me on Topiramate and then switched to Sodium Valproate (Epilim), which are both anti-epileptics used in migraine prevention. Surely if she had presented to a Neurologist with both seizures and migraines, they would have gone with a drug to treat both rather than Keppra?

Pt. 14. September 5, 2014. Starts posting proof of her hypermobility through party tricks and showing her fucked up index finger, saying her hands are one of the worst areas affected. Later she says she’s a gamer for over 20 years, including console games (which can be really hard on the hands, I can hardly play them anymore). If her hands are as bad as she claims, how come she doesn’t cut down on the games or look into actual treatment for her hand problems until much later? Why the knee braces before the ring splints?
Something to note: the hypermobility here is legit, and hypermobility can result in permanent dislocations if they are not treated. However, I reiterate that not all people with joint hypermobility have EDS. Lots of people are hypermobile with little to no symptoms whatsoever. This is what makes EDS type 3 easy to fake, because people can make up or induce the other symptoms to pass the clinical exam or the random person’s eye. Note the index finger, that’s where the purple brace comes in later on lifeundiagnosed. Claims that it’s like that because she used to suck on her finger. I call bull.

Pt. 15. September 5 again. She starts up with bitch mode. Someone tries to suggest exercises to help correct her flat feet, she blows up at them. Like, I get being annoyed, but this is seriously bitchy. Also, people in the EDS community give advice like this /all the time/. Folks with EDS often find that doctors are not knowledgeable enough to help them, so they have to help themselves and each other. So they share tips. Pretty routine.
Also, the specific tips in question? Exercises and physical therapy are standard procedure for EDS. The trick is finding someone experienced with connective tissue diseases, as standard exercises for people without them can cause injury to someone with EDS. She claims she’s had copious amounts of PT, yet later skips the PT part and goes straight to a hospital for a minor injury. The goal behind PT for EDS is to help the muscles keep the lax joints together, so that dislocations are less frequent (therefore requiring less surgery) and to improve posture that facilitates the dislocations in the first place. There’s even an entire PT protocol specifically for EDS in order to address this problem. She really does come off as not even wanting to try, she’s just bitchy someone called her on that fact.

Well, people seem to be enjoying the milk so I might as well post a couple more! I have to leave shortly but I can at least get the first ~medical drama uwu~ posted, where she starts messing with open wounds. Think that'll put us at… 21 out of 60 or so parts I've got going?
>>199581Yes, yes she does. Interestingly, none of those are actually part of any of the diagnostic criteria of conditions she's claiming. The ones on the left, she's bending them in the completely wrong direction to count. Her fingers do demonstrate /very mild/ levels of hypermobility in later pictures, but I've got no reason to believe it's as bad as she claims when she uses /that/ shit as her proof.
Actual diagnostic criteria includes tricks like the following:
https://www.ehlers-danlos.org/about-eds/getting-a-diagnosis/beighton-score/ (Note: The pinky one is supposed to be bending back. Hers shows her bending it to the side, which isn't worth anything.)
Okay. Next up. Then will get more up after I get home.
Pt. 16. September 9 2014. First advertised medical drama. Repeat image, sorry, but it's necessary for the timeline to show her progression. She starts complaining loudly about useless medical staff, even though soft tissue damage is pretty low priority on their list. ER staff have better things to worry about. When she doesn’t get the attention she’s striving for through stunts like this, she escalates to things like actively fucking with open wounds.
Here’s the thing about hospital trips for things like EDS. There is almost nothing they can even do. It's a genetic defect of connective tissue, it's not like there's a treatment or cure for it that they can do. This is why many people with genuine EDS don’t bother going to the hospital unless it’s actually an emergency or they have type 4/vascular. The most the hospital staff can really do is make sure that things aren’t actually broken, help put the joints back if they’re stuck and suggest heat/ice/anti-inflammatories etc for the surrounding tissue. Anything after that point is taken care of by people like physical therapists to reduce the risk of the injury happening again. Hospitals are generally useless in those situations, there is no reason to throw a hissy fit over it. We learn and move on. Also, most hospital staff (let alone ER staff) aren’t going to know anything about connective tissue diseases. Their primary focus is triage, they do not have specialty knowledge in the treatment of connective tissue diseases and the impact of repeat injuries. They turned her away because they want her to stop wasting their time and money. Standard procedure would be to go to someone who knows more about the injury and connective tissue diseases, and get that under control to try to reduce dislocations.

I feel bad for the pup and for Zak for having to put up with this cow. First evidence I’ve found of her blatantly and purposefully going against medical advice and of her blowing minor issues out of proportion. This whole thing sets the stage for the infamous Appendectomy Saga as she realizes that mere complaints won’t work, she needs evidence to get what she wants. She's depressed that she didn't get special treatment for having some super rare disease, when the hospital provided the same standard of care as can be expected in that situation.

Age is a factor in how someone with chronic illnesses is perceived, but I’ve found over the years that the ones that complain the loudest about such injustices are the ones that are least likely to actually deal with the issues.

Considering the claims of needing to wear them daily or near daily, this is hardly a “woo selfie with happy thumbs up” moment because even if you were actually sick, the pain would be /your own damn fault/. Even people with genuine EDS lose right to complain when they make no actual effort to protect their joints and just complain or make selfies all the damn time. Take care of your shit.

>>200114From my experience, she would reply to select comments on her pictures but would ignore any that weren't pandering to her crises. I don't remember her voluntarily commenting on other people's images and she didn't seem to follow back the people who follow her. Except for the cronies who gave her the speshul attention she wanted.
Has anyone picked up on the stuff on one of her blogs about microtia where apparently she was supposed to be a twin but her mum miscarried the other baby? Seems to me that one of Robyn's main problems could be that from early childhood she was told how incredibly special she was and now that she's an adult she's desperately trying to recreate that specialness via her super serious chronic illnesses, or "debilitating" illnesses as she likes to refer to them. Of course, we can only assume that she's telling the truth about the miscarried twin…

a guy i lived with in college had pretty serious munchausen, he literally faked a seizure at work and then drove back to the res hall. a few weeks later he kept dropping it into conversation about how he kept forgetting to take his new meds and how he could die without them all the meanwhile fucking driving everywhere despite that being illegal if he had a real seizure

so i know this is petty compared to all the fuckery from her presented so far, but i couldn't help noticing the amount of times she reminds people she's #genderfluid/#genderneutral yet people referred to her with female pronouns and she didn't seem to care. like, if you're going to constantly lie for super special snowflake points, you might want to keep track of those things so that you're not as transparent as your invisibullshit illnesses.
could a kind anon also put together the saga of her 'head bump' where she constantly claimed it was due to a seizure and she assumed it was epilepsy even though the tests were all fine and she was out with the doormat playing in the snow right after like nothing happened.

>>200070Unless I missed something, in all of the screenshots I've collected I have seen no such claims. Nothing about some of the more common or serious skeletal comorbidities like scoliosis, congenital hip dysplasia, craniocervical instability, etc. Not a word. She brings up her finger (which could have been injured by anything) and her knee (which again could have been injured by anything). The other laundry list of conditions that come with EDS and have actual tests for like x-rays or MRIs are not mentioned or given proof for.
Okay! So this batch will be a bit short, still getting coffee. But we start with one that puts more of her ~symptoms~ into context and then start going into a medical crisis that I swear was copied from a commenter. In the upcoming crisis she really goes batshit on the number of posts, including /live-blogging standard procedure/. Step by step. It's fucking ridiculous.
Pt 33. December 19 2014. Here she admits to being friends with our recent WK JBN, having played video games for over 20 years, counting the number of tattoos and piercings she has, the number of hospitals she’s been to (not hospitalizations, different physical hospitals), and the number of surgeries she’s had. For extra brownie points, she makes sure to add how long one of those surgeries was. Things of note on here:
• Being a gamer can contribute to hand problems, especially console gaming and especially if you have even mild hypermobility. Doesn’t mean it’s EDS. Just her own damn fault. Cut back on the games or find something more adaptive, they’ll probably be a lot better.
• Speaking of the gaming bit. Staying indoors for hours on end to play games obsessively can lead to someone being pale as a sheet. Including transparent skin. Still not EDS.
• She tags almost all of her medical conditions except for bodily dysmorphic disorder and the short term memory loss part of her dyslexia. Considering she will tag shit like “bruise” and four different variations of the tag “medical bracelet”, seems strange for her to suddenly be leaving some out.
• Counting like this is often a red flag in these communities. If someone is starting to cite exact numbers of surgeries, injuries, time spent in a surgery, and the number of different hospitals they’ve been to, odds are high that they’re full of shit. That’s something that medical doctors have business knowing, outside of that it’s really not necessary to share except as a way to 1-up others in the community or prove how sick they are. The 1-up drama becomes relevant in the next part, when she adds yet another hospitalization to the mix and really goes to town with it.

>>199483Where a commenter tells her about needing a cast for a dislocated thumb? Guess who dislocates her thumb and will go to the hospital for a cast, milking the attention from peers and staff for all its worth. This starts her first extended medical crisis saga before escalating to the Appendectomy Saga later. Also, she fucking turned the brightness up to make the bruise more obvious.
This entire “dislocation” saga of hers here is such bullshit. It really is. Who the hell takes mini snapshots of what is supposed to be a daily occurrence?! Joints dislocate in EDS. It doesn’t need photo blogging multiple times a day. It doesn’t need constant drama with coworkers, friends, and hospital staff. It’s a fact of life. It’s not even one of the large joints, it’s her thumb and even then it’s on her right hand. She’s left handed. That’d be like me taking a daily photo blog of bowel movements. There is no point to it whatsoever. It’s just there to try to draw attention to how fragile and sick she obviously is if she can dislocate joints over minor activities.

Pt. 35. Same day. Bruise is barely noticeable without her filter. For the record, EDS bruises do not heal that fast, especially in people claiming to have delayed wound healing. Since she has claimed bruising easily, that means claiming at least some vascular symptoms. Which would not heal that fast.
The box thing. That I’m pretty sure is an attempt to try to fit the EDS profile. In EDS, yes dislocations can happen from minor activities. But given that she doesn’t have EDS, she has to come up with something dramatic sounding to make it look like she’s really ill. So she picks one of the easiest tasks out there to act like it’s causing her big problems. But she works at McDonalds. I’ve worked food service. There is a lot of lifting involved, including heavy boxes. She makes no mention of accommodations. There could have been a work place accident that she’s blowing out of proportion, or she could have fucked something up herself. We have no reason to believe it’s coming from a light box like she said. And how light is light anyway? Given the numbers she rattles off, let’s get some actual weight on that box, Robyn.

Also. "[i]t went back into the correct place". If she did not get help putting the joint back into place, it was not a dislocation. It was a subluxation, which she shouldn't have needed to go to the hospital for. Subluxations are not medical emergencies and will correct themselves over time if you're gentle to your body. She went to the hospital over something that her body corrected itself. What the fuck.

Pt 38. December 30 2014. For the record, that doesn’t actually look like a dislocation. That’s called hyperextension and can often be done on command by people with hypermobile fingers. I can literally wiggle my fingers like that no problem and it doesn’t hurt. Back and forth between positions takes maybe a few seconds. A minor hyperextension like that is really no big deal and is probably related to her playing console games all the time. Joysticks makes thumbs worse.

Also? Ligament reconstruction surgery in hypermobile individuals is not ideal and prone to complications or failure because it's not just one ligament or tendon that is wonky, it's the whole package. Individual surgeries will not fix a global issue. All it does is address specific joints, whereas PT can be done to address the whole body.

39. December 30 2014. So things went normally at the hospital, it should have been over right? No, now she’s having seizures /because/ she went to the hospital.

Yeah well, playing console games after an injury in a brace can do that… Especially if for some reason you put it on too tight.

Does it mean we are all hypermobile? I never had a bone dislocate, and my friends who can do those tricks didn't as well. I have a hard time believing this.

>>200453Medical source for my response:
http://jaoa.org/article.aspx?articleid=2093276
>Generalized joint laxity is commonly seen in healthy individuals who do not have complaints. Hypermobility that is not associated with systemic disease occurs in 4% to 13% of the population.4,5 Hypermobility diminishes as one ages, and it also appears to be related to sex and race.5 In general, women have greater joint laxity than men, and up to 5% of healthy women have symptomatic joint hypermobility compared with 0.6% of men.6 People of African, Asian, and Middle Eastern descent also have increased joint laxity.7–9.So her flexible thumb is probably normal and related to how much video games she plays. She just needed to fit into the Fad Disease of the Month by clinging to EDS, which is how a lot of online Munchies go with EDS. They take minor joint laxity that is pretty normal in the population and not indicative of disease, and then blow it out of proportion or try to make themselves fit the symptoms of EDS because claiming EDS gets a lot of attention.

God damn, 55 pages in my Word document now and /I'm still finding evidence/. The milk never stops. She doesn't even need to be active, it just keeps flowing.
Okay. We're up to pt 44 now, where she's a bitch to hospital staff over being told it's nothing when it really is probably nothing. I'll put this one up and let folks discuss it before moving on because it's long in itself, and that alone will provide a lot of milk. It progresses into more drama like the Appendectomy Saga did, complete with online (and probably offline) bitching and repeat hospital visits.
I hope the image isn't too big, and please forgive me for the length of the rant.
Pt 44. January 1 2015. She has a long conversation with a commenter about how shitty nurses are about EDS. This rant will be long because there’s just so much milk in this IG post alone.
TL;DR version:
a nurse points out her behavior doesn't make sense for the condition she's claiming, she complains, gets a new nurse that gives her asspats, has a long conversation that undoes several of her lies, and admits to several things like not taking medication as prescribed and actively pursuing diagnosis/documentation in order to get medication for free.
Things of note:
• Commenter from Pt 7 with the story of a dislocated thumb and subsequent cast is nowhere to be seen. Might have realized Robyn is batshit, ran far away. Not even sympathy comments about how the situation sucks because they’ve been there. Nothing.
• The nurse kind of has a point. If it was a subluxation, like I suspect supposing anything was wrong to begin with (since it likely went back in on its own, it just took time), she shouldn’t have gone. Many people that are hypermobile never even notice subluxations because the body corrects them, often the only clue is pain and even that's not always there. They are too busy to deal with her Munchie shit. Ice/heat, brace, take it easy and not play video games, she would have been fine. Nurse is probably exhausted and doesn’t want her shit. Minor dislocations or subluxations like this are not a big deal, she’s blowing it way out of proportion. There was no reason to go to the hospital.
• Not being offered pain meds. If they suspect that she is doing this to herself, they will not offer them immediately. Even in the UK. I point out how they take her blood and may have been testing for drug use in a later post. Also, the pain scale is fairly useless in EDS cases, nurse may have known that and didn’t bother trying to use it. Pain and tolerance is completely subjective, and when it comes to conditions like HMS and EDS, there will be a constant level of pain so we just kind of.. numb it out after a while. Taking regular pain medication (which most EDS cases do, often daily) also influences perception of pain. It’s hard for these people to actually measure their pain on the standard 1-10 scale, the number would be useless to someone without it (since we’re often so used to it, other people’s 9s can be our 6s), and we have a tendency to downplay our pain. So administering it is kind of pointless in those cases. If the nurse’s daughter has that, they’re probably fairly familiar with the condition and it’s influenced how they handle standard of care for other patients claiming joint hypermobility. If I was in the nurse’s position, I probably would have denied her too.
• Robyn didn’t like the first nurse’s answer, gets a different one. Probably complained. Nurse shopping! Didn’t like that someone who has knowledge in the condition she’s claiming didn’t take her conditions seriously, so she found someone who probably didn’t. Would also explain her rotating circle of friends and accounts. Because people who either actually have the condition or who have loved ones with the condition can see she’s lying. She has to depend on people that don’t to keep the lie going.
• She starts dropping number of serious injuries again, and brings up the “dislocations resulting in broken bones” bullshit again. Yeah no. She’s lying. Joint laxity would not result in broken bones. Bone is harder than ligaments, let alone lax ligaments. I call bull on her only going to the hospital for “new” or bad dislocations again. Her behavior suggests she’s a frequent flier and that people are getting sick of her shit.
• Yes, there is general advice that setting your own dislocated joints is risky. People who have actual EDS know that. They will tell others that it comes with risks. We do it anyway, because there’s little point in racking up debt or bothering the hospital staff for something that’s just going to happen again and that we can handle on our own. It cuts down on the cost of going, the resources consumed and their time that they could be spending on handling things like actual emergencies. And there’s not much they can do anyway. Doing things like PT helps reduce us having to set things ourselves or go to the hospital because it reduces the frequency of the dislocations in the first place, which she doesn’t even bother with.
• “I get bad anxiety about hospitals” REALLY NOW, BECAUSE I CERTAINLY COULDN’T TELL. Nothing about hospital glam selfies in hospitals suggests that they make you anxious.
• Commenter talks about how dislocations and subluxations are a part of the condition and that they don’t bother going every time. Which is the normal reaction. There is no point in going all the time because it’s not like they’re ever going to stop for good anyway.
• “I also avoid doing a lot of things to stop stuff happening” No you don’t. Otherwise you wouldn’t take a selfie of you playing console games while wearing a brace for an injured thumb. Dumbass.
• “I need to be more like you!” Uh oh. Now there is a dangerous statement. Which part is she referring to, the part where people still go out and have a life outside of EDS or the part where the commenter dislocates several times a day? Her posted notes for the rheumatologist starts to suggest the latter, which is a scary thought. Because so far I've seen no evidence of her working to have a life outside of EDS, quite the opposite actually.
• Admits to being sun deprived, and probably low on vitamin D. Remember what I said about her playing video games indoors for years and probably not getting enough sunlight? That’s probably what her ~transparent skin~ is from. Go outside, walk your dogs in the sunlight, do something other than sit on your ass. The skin transparency will probably go away.
• Claims she’s crap at remembering to take pills. Since when? There’s phone apps for that. Reminders. Alarms. Life hacks like turning your bottles upside down when you take something, so you have proof you did it. There’s so much out there to remind you to take meds. They’re not that hard to find. Explains why she has a stash that she can fill entire containers with though, and is pretty much proof that she does not comply with prescribed directions and makes little to no effort to.
• Says she’s not on prescription pain medication. Which means either she’s faking the seizures outright, has a different way of inducing them, is lying about not being on prescription pain medication, or is accessing medication online without a prescription. Any of those is a possibility. I'm sure an epilepsy anon can fill us in.
• She mentions pursuing a diagnosis about her joints. This is an allusion to her doctor shopping for an EDS diagnosis later. She does pursue it, sadly. Great way of creating suspense there, Robyn.
• “I guess if I had a seizure they would have seen me quicker lol” Okay 1. That’s not an lol moment and 2. Is that an allusion to her future faking of seizures for hospital trips, like the headbump-because-epilepsy saga? Maybe a future epilepsy saga anon can fill us in here?
• She does reference a medical certificate “proving” she has epilepsy so as to get all of her meds for free. Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t that count as malingering? She’s obtaining “proof” so as to obtain medication for free. That is material gain. That’s malingering.
• THE BRACE DIDN’T HELP BECAUSE YOU PLAYED VIDEO GAMES WHILE WEARING IT, YOU TWAT.
I feel really, really bad for the first nurse here. Not only was the nurse actually correct on shit (especially if it was actually a subluxation, in which case she never needed to go and waste their time at all), but it was New Years. The hospital was probably swamped and really busy. It’s a busy time of the year for them, and here this bitch is bringing drama with her. The nurse was probably tired, frustrated and sick of seeing people like her come in for pointless shit when they have to deal with other matters. But Robyn makes it all about her, no consideration for the staff or their stress levels. What a bitch. Is it annoying that people who are drunk are given priority? Sure, maybe. But the priority is understandable considering /drinking excessively or things like drinking and driving can actually kill you/. Unlike a thumb dislocation. Triage priorities again. They have to treat the stuff that can actually kill you first. That's not oppression. Stop crying oppression because people aren't putting you to the top of the list, Robyn.

> Robyn didn’t like the first nurse’s answer, gets a different one. Probably complained. Nurse shopping!Not trying to defend her at all, but it sounds like the first nurse she saw was a triage nurse. When you go to A&E/emergency in the UK (apologies if this is patronising if it works the same way in other countries!), unless you're a life or death emergency or need immediate treatment (usually if you've been brought in by ambulance and already assessed by paramedics as an urgent case), you see a triage nurse first who will talk to you, examine you briefly, and then determine how quickly you need to be seen compared to other people waiting (this is what Robyn is complaining about when she says the nurse only wrote her down as a 4, i.e. not urgent and perfectly capable of waiting for treatment - totally reasonable for a dislocated/subluxed thumb). The triage nurse will then send you back out to the waiting room and you'll be put in a queue to see a different nurse who will examine you further, do basic obs/tests if necessary, treat you within their capabilities, and either send you home with advice, or send you to a hospital treatment room to wait to see a doctor. This is standard procedure so chances are it wasn't that she complained or asked to see a different nurse.
In my experience, the triage nurse won't offer you any pain medication as this isn't part of their role - but usually if you're in pain and ask they will give you paracetamol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen to keep you going until you see the next nurse. If Robyn was in such #terrible #pain she should have asked for pain relief at this stage rather than just waiting or expecting to be offered it and huffing when she didn't get it. Personally if I was in such pain I was vomiting I'd definitely ask for pain relief (or you know, have taken some at home to try and help myself) but then I guess if Robyn had done that she wouldn't have been able to sulk about it on social media for sympathy.
No. 200545
>>200541Definitely, if the triage nurse had thought she didn't need to be seen at all, she would have been told to go home and make an appointment with her GP or a minor injuries centre and not even put in the queue for an emergency nurse. I have no idea why she complained about being assessed as non-urgent as clearly in the grand scheme of things an A&E department deals with, "my thumb is ouchy" is pretty low on the list.
Actually, scratch that, I know exactly why she was complaining about it - because she's a munchie who's convinced that her "#chronicillness" is so incredibly severe that she's automatically more important than anyone else waiting to see the nurse and should be fawned over by all medical staff because she's so #special and #brave and a total #spooniewarrior.
No. 200609
>>200606I'm actually a bit surprised she's even been demanding stitches and the likes. Stitches can actually tear the skin in EDS patients, or contribute to scarring. Things like the steristrips in the appendectomy saga are common for EDS because it decreases the risk of such complications.

Okay. Couple more.
Pt 45. January 2 2015. Goes in to the hospital for her thumb, gets a cast. Probably wouldn’t have even needed it if she didn’t play console games with an injured hand. Maybe stop making shit worse for yourself, Robyn. She must have loved this, instead of the flesh colored brace now she gets an obvious cast that will definitely draw people’s commentary. Literally. People actually draw on it. The cast should make it so she can’t play console games now and make it worse for herself – I wonder if that’s what the staff was thinking, give her the cast so she can’t get at her thumb and actively make shit worse. Considering the Appendectomy Saga and them requiring her to come in for them to change the dressing instead of trusting her to do it, it’d make sense. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work. She plays the games anyway.

Pt 46. January 3 2015. Shown still playing games on her laptop using a controller. Says that wearing a cast won’t stop her. Poor hospital staff, their efforts didn’t work, she’s still at it. Letting an injury heal is not letting HMS or EDS beat you, Robyn. Taking care of your body is important. The cast is supposed to help things heal without interference. EDS involves switching or adapting activities so as to take care of one’s body, not trolololing through things unstopped to ~prove it won’t rule your life~. There is a difference between ignoring your symptoms because you’re in denial or believe they’re not that bad and between actively engaging in activities that would make the injury worse because you want to ~prove it doesn’t rule your life~.

Pt 47. Same day. She’s basking in the attention and knows that having a cast will bring it in, so she milks it up for all its worth. Might have realized this from her knee injury a few years ago, where she had her crutches. People really respond to casts because they assume it’s a broken bone, so they shower the person with attention. Robyn laps this up and gets them to write on the cast, making it even /more/ obvious to people. And what’s with the fucking kiss marks?!

Pt 49. January 9 2015. Remember my comment in pt 39 about her using seizures to lay the framework for getting back in the hospital?
>>200423Starts claiming that she had multiple seizures that caused her to dislocate her knee, resulting in another hospital trip. At this point she’s a frequent flier and the staff are probably sick of seeing her. For the record, in future pictures there’s no actual evidence of a dislocation and she does shit like taking a standing selfie with smiles and thumbs up, which is not the kind of behavior someone does with a dislocated knee. Just saying. See next part.

Pt. 50. January 9 2015. Dislocated knee due to seizure, stands up for a selfie with that stupid grin and without her knee braces no problem. If her knee was dislocated, she wouldn’t be able to tolerate the pain enough to stand up so straight and without support, let alone post a fucking hospital glam selfie. She’s not exactly thin and that’s a major mobility joint that takes a lot of stress, especially when out. Even if it had been set again by this point, she'd still be in a lot of pain because of the damage to surrounding tissue.

>>200615EDS saga anon. A point that I want to add to that last post:
Being able to fake a smile through the pain can happen, especially for people that are used to pain. It's one of the only ways to function in society, being able to pretend like the pain isn't there. People are much less likely to ask you what's wrong if you pretend to be fine, letting you go about your day and actually get stuff done. But there's still going to be subtle signs that there's something wrong, and the more intense the pain is (such as during a dislocation of a major mobility joint), the harder it is to hide it. Hiding pain is a coping mechanism in order to function in day to day life.
The reason why I bring it up here is because her behavior does not indicate that she's in pain at all, or if she is it's not nearly as bad as she's claiming, as we've seen in previous images where she says she's suffering from extreme symptoms but has that same stupid grin. It's something called la belle indifference and can be indicative of Munchausen's.
What the whole saga has shown me is that in various photos, there is little to no difference in facial expression regardless of how distress she claims she is. Like the gif someone did where the only shit that moved was her hair.
>>194199There's only a handful where she even looks remotely distressed, and even then it's fairly slight. It happening once in a while would make sense for someone in chronic pain. We're used to faking being fine. When it happens in the vast majority of interactions though, and the person is unusually excited or giddy about medical procedures or tests? That's not normal. Not at all.

>>200540In Australia triage nurses often offer pain relief - aka paracetamol - while you wait or if you have a temperature to lower it while you're waiting.
Another thing I've noticed about Robyn is her constant "bragging" about being admitted quickly.
The way triage usually works is:
1. Major hemorrhage and breathing problems = seen instantly.
OR they also triage metal health.. if you're aggressive, at risk of absconding or it's your first time presenting as a mental health patient they take you through to the ED straight away.

Couple more to finish off the cast medical crisis, and then a couple that lead up to her pursuing an EDS diagnosis. Haven't finished the ones about the diagnosis seeking yet and will finish the saga tomorrow in all likelihood.
Pt. 51. January 9 2015, so same day as the last one. She’s just loving that attention. Can’t get enough. There’s actually several photos like this, I’m only including one because posting all of them would be excessive and they don’t add much. But the fact that she’s pointing out every little thing in the picture, tagging it and seems to do this multiple times shows the evolution into how she starts pulling attention onto her suffering. In the past, she was subtle about it by asking people to ignore it after she mentioned something was there, and she'd only include a small handful of photos from one medical crisis. Now she’s going out of her way to point out what’s in the photo and uploading them constantly. Guess subtle just wasn’t enough anymore. She has to go over the top now.

Pt 52. Same day. Still won’t shut up about her poor thumb among other issues. The ECG electrodes make a comeback. There is no point in keeping those. They’re trash. They don’t do anything except draw more attention to the fact that she was in the hospital, which the cast does plenty of. Most sane people just throw the stuff away. They don’t put them on display. Also, “[c]ould this arm look any more beaten up?” Yes actually, a cast and bandage for someone taking your blood isn’t exactly looking beaten up. All it is is evidence that you managed to convince doctors to give you what you wanted, Robyn. Again, the cast could be because they want her to stop fucking with shit, so they make it close to impossible for her to make their job harder.
The cannula: that is from a peripheral venous catheter, from my understanding. Someone please correct me on the term if I’m wrong. They are extremely common and given to most patients that stay for a while, useful for taking blood and administering fluids or IV medication if necessary. Using the cannula in a catheter is an easier way of obtaining blood than sticking the patient multiple times, it saves the staff time and it saves the patient multiple (potentially painful) needle sticks. Taking blood is standard procedure at the hospital, they do it pretty much every time someone goes if there’s specific complaints. Considering she’s complaining of seizures, they were probably trying to rule out drug use and low blood sugar. It’s not a big deal. She’s making standard blood tests into drama for no particular reason, when they were probably just trying to rule out drug use and low blood sugar for her seizures. Especially considering she came in with a minor injury, that was probably made worse by her behavior and history of causing drama for them, and her history of disregarding medical advice. They were probably checking to make sure /she wasn’t doing it to herself because she’s a Munchie/. The whole saga suggests that yes, they were starting to suspect her, they just didn’t want to tell her. Sadly though, the headbump-because-epilepsy saga takes place in the same hospital (she checked in on IG in both instances) so they must not have denied her treatment.

Pt 53. January 10 2015. At work, bitch mode returns, still won’t shut up about her damn cast. Cries suicidal again, blames it on medication this time and not drama. Triggering eating disorders with her bullshit is a pretty big concern, so it makes sense for someone to bring it to her attention. She blows it off, paints it off as the person being rude (we have no proof of this, the person could have been fairly polite about it or not coming off well because actively triggered), and manages to plug her HMS again while making sure to include her cast in the selfie. Calls her IG her dairy. That’s actually kind of fitting. The mention of her medication making her suicidal due to a side effect is a useful deterrent to discourage people from starting drama with her or calling her out on bullshit, considering she can just claim she’ll an hero like always.

Pt 54. Same day still. Calls a fairly small bruise “impressive”.
No, that bruise is not impressive for EDS patients, that’s actually fairly minor and bruises happen with cannulas. If she calls that impressive, she’s not used to easy bruising like she claims. Seriously, with the bruise fetishizing? Not all bruises are because of anything HMS or EDS related. She had a medical procedure involving her veins. Of course there’s going to be some minor bruising. Not always, but it’s common enough that it’s not evidence of EDS, let alone anything to get excited about.

Claims she removed it because she didn’t want to be around people who claim it’s a disability when it’s not… by replacing it with a disability that she doesn’t even have.

The level of obsession over a single injury is kind of creepy. It’s not even a post about how she’s /at/ the clinic, but that she’s /going to/ the clinic. She posts more where she’s actually waiting at the clinic later. I do not understand the obsession with documenting every tiny portion of her life, let alone within a single injury when those injuries are supposed to be commonplace. It’s mind-boggling. It really is. At this point, she’s posted dozens of pictures related to a single injury and all of the drama within, even though she claims to be going through these subluxations and dislocations every few days. She has a job, pets, and a boyfriend, how the hell does she have the time to document all of this shit?!

Pt 57. Same day. Fetishizing her experience so much that she keeps the cast. She’s treating it like a fucking trophy. Another prop to her collection to prove how sick she is, instead of actually managing to live her life. After the cast comes off, the thumb dislocation saga more or less ends, so she moves on to other things like fishing for a professional diagnosis of EDS, epilepsy sagas and the appendectomy saga.

How does she manage to remember the exact day of specific injuries if they’re so damn common? After a while they just kind of blur together. The forearm crutches make a comeback, which suggests to me that she keeps medical devices she likes for years. This injury is probably what caused her to realize that big, obvious medical devices like huge splints or casts will get her the attention she craves, so she replicated that experience. It worked. We don’t have the details on this one, and she’s not tagging HMS or EDS, but given that she tried to claim a past ankle injury from several years ago was due to EDS, it’d stand to reason she’d claim the same with this one. It should be noted that a bad enough fall can result in a knee dislocation even without EDS present. Also, her knees could have been weak because of injuries like this and be prone to re-injury even without EDS present.

Rules of thumb I've found useful for formatting:
1. When adding subsequent text columns, limit extra columns on the right to 2 at most (like you did in
>>200670 ), so that the text won't be compressed too much.
2. If not adding additional text columns, maximum width for decent-sized text is two posts side-by-side. (Like in
>>198007 ).
3. If there's a wall of text worth of columns, split into separate files (like in
>>198013 ).
P.S. I will hold off on posting the burn saga until you've finished sharing all of the ones you've worked on. Your work is excellent and an indispensable addition to this topic! Please don't post more frequently than is comfortable though. Milk this good is fun to savor anyway! :)

You are correct about the IV. Unless it's contraindicated, like someone in fluid-overload heart failure or kidney problems or another fluid-restriction-necessary condition, nearly everyone gets an IV. It's SOP for the ER.

>>200674What hurts my brain the most about this is that she thinks having had a dislocated knee 2 year ago is such a massive deal. She gives no indication that it was her first dislocated knee, or a particularly severe one, or one that happened in an unusual manner, so there is really nothing notable about it.

>>200772I didn't really doubt that the Microtia was legit, but I assumed it wasn't particularly severe. Lo and behold, I was right; the malformation was minor and totally cosmetic, and didn't affect her hearing at all.
It sucks that her surgeons were shit and it wasn't until her fourth operation that her ear was made to look normal, it sucks that she was bullied for it (but kids will bully each other over literally anything, and I highly doubt adults mocked her when she was a child, even though she implies they did), and it sucks that her ear hurt (but, knowing her, the pain was either much more minor than she claims, or it didn't exist at all). But everything she wrote was so ridiculously dramatic. I mean, look at this

>>200706I wouldn't base her financial situation too much off of the fact she went to uni/has a house. She very likely got student loans from the government (like everyone here apart from the rich) and she went when tuition fees were low. I'd guess she only owes about £24,000 altogether. Also there's an income threshold to meet before you have to start paying back, and I doubt she met that at McDonalds. She's probably paying back now, but it's 9% of her salary. So yeah, going to uni isn't a sign of wealth here because even the poorest can.
Also her parents didn't buy the house, and she doesn't even own it yet - she posted on her old facebook about applying for/being granted a mortgage from her bank. From the photos, her house looks like new-build low-income housing on a cookie cutter estate. It's probably also small and not in a fought over area. So I doubt she's paying whole lot on the mortgage.
She's definitely financial comfortable and doesn't have to worry about keeping a roof over her head or food on the table but a lot of it's due to where she lives. I can't help but wonder if she'd have started this spoonie shit if she actually had to face serious financial problems (or any other serious problems really)

>to take a 'super I'm ill and in hospital pic'It's also really annoying the way she keeps saying she was "admitted" and on the "majors ward". She clearly wasn't actually admitted to hospital (which means being sent to an actual ward to be cared for and have a bed for a night or longer) as she says she was released after assessment and tests. And "majors" is not a ward, it's part of any standard A&E treatment/assessment areas - there's Minors, Majors, and Resuscitation. It's ridiculous the way she keeps saying "#majorsward", trying to make it sound as serious as possible, especially when putting someone into Majors for tests and assessment is completely standard practice for possible neuro problems like seizures.
Oh and speaking of standard practice, so is cannulating someone when they arrive in the treatment area. Makes it easier to take bloods, especially if more than one set are needed, and quickly hook up an IV if necessary. Again, doesn't in any way relate to the severity of a case, even though she's desperately trying to make it look that way.

Pt 60. January 26 2015. She finally starts fishing for an EDS diagnosis. We’ve reached the doctor shopping stage. This post will be long because it includes both a transcript (since her notes are hard to read) and the explanation about why this is such bullshit. I might split the explanation and transcript into two posts so as to be a little less wall-of-text.
Got my timeline mixed up a little, sorry about that. At this point, she starts posting her written notes for the doctor. Now we get to the shit that really pisses me off. When I said in a previous summary see that she represents EDS as a caricature instead of a genuine presentation, the following is what I mean. For previous summary see:

A lot of people have to do that because there are so many symptoms with EDS and people may deal with memory loss for whatever reason, so the record makes it easier to communicate the exact pattern of events (as best as they can recall) to the specialist. They’re especially necessary in areas that do not have records that are easily shared, so the medical records and therefore paper trail of symptoms is a mess and sometimes several inches thick. Notes saves doctors and specialists time, digging through piles of records is exhausting and can include a bunch of irrelevant shit. Even sharing them with one or two close friends that you’ve discussed your issues with extensively isn’t that odd, since they can help you remember issues that you somehow forgot because everything blurs together into a mush.
What makes this odd is the fact that she goes through the process of publishing all of the pages, on a public account in public community tags, and then later realizes “OH SHIT THERE’S STUFF I FORGOT GUYS” and posts her updates with even more pages. That is completely unnecessary. It’s really only there to prove to her followers that she’s super sick, look at all of this crap she has to deal with! Those notes are meant to be for doctors, not random strangers. There is no point behind her publishing them outside of attention and trying to prove to everyone she really has EDS. It’s about the closest thing she gets to posting her records for proof, short of the photos of her prescriptions.
On top of that, in both this page and the next, one of her primary focuses is detailing every day that has dislocations or subluxations in a given period. Most of these will probably not be backed by actual medical records. When it comes to frequent dislocations or subluxations, medical records are important because it can show a pattern in dislocations in multiple joints, instead of re-injuring the same joints repeatedly. All of the ones she’s listed here are knee related, which doesn’t fit the pattern of a global issue. A large part of an EDS diagnosis is that multiple joints have to be affected and weak, not just after a prior injury. It also shows a pattern in whether or not the patient has actually been following medical advice and keeping up the treatment necessary to reduce re-injury, by adhering to things like PT routines or appropriate bracing and whether or not it worked. And as anons have pointed out with things like the “I have a migraine so I’m going to take some naproxen” posts of hers and “THIS THUMB IS DISLOCATED, SEE” post when it’s actually a hyperextension, someone can say that something is a specific medical issue and either be mislabeling it by accident or just flat out exaggerating it for attention. There is also the issue of x-rays. If there is documented medical proof of a dislocation, such as when you go to the hospital, they will often include x-rays to verify that the joints are actually separated. Folks don’t typically have portable x-ray machines in their home. Like with the thumb, any of these listed could have been a hyperextension injury instead of an actual subluxation or dislocation. It’s not a great idea, but some doctors will even move the joint around to see if they can feel it shift or dislocate easily, and then put it right back, which can’t be done at home because there isn’t an objective medical opinion from an outsider to document it. Patients suspecting a connective tissue disease have to be careful about what dislocations or subluxations they add to such notes if they do not have proof that they ever happened. It makes it harder to diagnose, yeah, but it also weeds out Munchies like Robyn. This whole page comes off as an attempt to be more like the commenter that pointed out that they have 30/40 or so dislocations on average a day.

Welp, looks like my little > things didn't all work out on that one, sorry! Still getting used to the format of things here.
Pt. 61. Same day. Brightness change was me again. Probably wasn’t enough and the quality of the image she uploaded was poor, so here’s a transcript as best as I can decipher again.
Transcript:
>19th Jan – knee subluxed/hyperextended when leaning forward (left)
>20th Jan – knee subluxed when standing up -> little pain but weakness & nausea (right)
>knee subluxed/hyperextended when leaning forward (left)
>knee subluxed when stood normally -> little pain but weakness & nausea (right)
>23rd [I think] Jan – knee subluxed when lifting a box -> pain, weakness & nausea (right)
>knee subluxed when stepping down a stair -> little pain but weakness & nausea (right)
>25th [I think] Jan – knee subluxed when walking -> pain, weakness & nausea (right)
>20 Incidents in 26 days
>What I Mean By:
>Subluxed: I can see the knee cap move out of its normal range of movement, like the start of dislocation but it pops back in straight away
>hyperextended: when the knee joint moves left/right/backwards past normal range of movement
>Problems this causes
>Cannot walk more than 5 minutes without pain
>Kneeling down is too painful & getting up from kneeling causes extensive pain & subluxations
>Causing back pain/problems from how I walk to accommodate
>Crepitus in right knee whenever it is bent -> had this for 12 Years!
>Cannot sit comfortably with knees bent or straight as I get pain/pins and needles after 2 minutes
>General pain/discomfort/stabbing pains constantly
>Cannot put shoes/socks on without pain
Okay recording how many minutes you can walk is not something that needs to be shared with the world, that’s the sort of thing that goes on disability benefits applications or parking placards for handicapped parking. It’s not relevant elsewhere, and they only ask for that information to measure your functioning level so as to make a decision about whether or not you qualify as disabled under law. Sharing that kind of information with strangers on IG is a huge red flag of embellishing and oversharing.
Still only talking about her knees, which could easily just be because they are weak and prone to re-injury after the initial injuries. Still no evidence of global issues as required in EDS. All of this could be due to early onset arthritis, sensitive or damaged tissue and not taking care of her knees despite knowing she’s at risk of re-injury. The list of problems it causes isn’t complete, it continues on the next page/part.

Transcript:
>Now struggle to put on: trousers, tights, leggings, underwear etc due to pain & lack of movement>Can hardly complete 9 hours of work without the pain being so bad I can’t walk>Too scared to do things in case my knees dislocate and I can’t work or pay my bills>Struggle to clean my house because of pain/not being able to kneel down>Spreading to other joints -> right thumb dislocated 4 times, hips lock into place & pain is unbearable/can’t walk, prone to sprained ankles, permanent mallet finger>SERIOUSLY AFFECTS MY QUALITY OF LIFE>PAIN KILLERS DON’T WORK (taking 2x […] every 6 hours daily)
>Previous treatment/diagnosis>>Told I have lax ligaments by a consultant>>Lateral release operation (right knee)>>2x MRI (right knee)>>3x Physiotherapy (right knee) courses>>Physio did Beighton Test/Score -> got 9/9, told I had hypermobility syndrome>>Was referred for […] operation (not completed due to changing counties -> have hospital letter)>>Was told by physio that he could only strengthen muscle & it could not help ligamentsWe get to the third page of her notes.
Parts of this that are not unusual:
• A physiotherapist telling her that her joints are lax and that she has hypermobility syndrome. A very large number of people first find out that they have hypermobility issues this way, because an injury led them to go into PT and the PT noticed something was off about their joints. Happens all the time. I don’t doubt that her PT told her this, they probably did, my issue is with her taking things to extreme levels.
• Repeat physiotherapy courses in the same location. Once an injury happens, especially if the ligaments supporting the joint are lax, that location is more likely to be injured in the future unless the person makes an active effort to strengthen the surrounding muscles (and even then, it can still happen). That said, we don’t know if she kept up with the routine after leaving PT.
• Pain medication not working. That’s extremely common. OTC pain meds are pretty useless for HMS or EDS, and for people with EDS, they frequently report an innate tolerance to opiates.
• The PT saying that all they can do is strengthen muscles, not ligaments. That’s true. The point behind PT for HMS or EDS is to help train the surrounding muscles to help compensate for the ligaments not being able to do their job. It’s a long term process and may require life-long intervention on the patient’s part.
What I don’t believe or seems really strange:
• Saying she can barely make it through a 9 hour work day without severe pain so bad she can’t walk. See parts 31 and 32, where she spends the whole day at work, and then goes to a Machinehead concert that night. Concerts are painful on their own. I seriously can’t get how someone could tolerate going to one after being on their feet for a full shift at fast food, let alone when they claim it leaves them barely able to walk. And that’s not even touching the other events she went to that have a lot of walking.
>>199858>>199859• The idea of her being too scared to do things because her joints might dislocate. So, uh… why not ask for a chair for the Harry Potter Studio Tour? Brings me back to the la belle indifference point, where she says something is extremely distressing but demonstrates no actual behavior that suggests it’s distressing.
>>200625• Scoring a 9/9 on the Beighton score. Brings us back to the post where she tried to “prove” she’s hypermobile, but used a bunch of stuff that doesn’t correlate to the Beighton score at all. Still haven’t seen her post anything showing her fulfilling that criteria, either. Again, if she was aiming to prove she’s hypermobile, that would have been the best time to demonstrate her 9/9 score.
>>199521• In terms of her other dislocations, why didn’t she add these to the front page? Why leave them all the way to the third?
There’s probably more but I’m not entirely caffeinated this morning.

Pt. 63. She forgets to add what she’s tried, posts explicitly to state that. Now stuff gets really strange.
The stuff she added is at the bottom in blue, as follows (the quality of the image she posted makes it so I can’t read the other added lines, sorry – maybe someone can decipher them for us?):
>What I have tried
>>Exercise & walking (walk approx. 26 miles a week)
>>Vitamins & joint suppliments
>>losing weight/healthy eating
>>Numerous knee supports
>>^^ Doesn’t help at all
• /26 miles a week/?! If her pain is so bad that she needs daily knee braces, decides to /buy a wheelchair/ and says that she can’t walk 5 minutes without pain, how the hell does she manage /26 miles a week/?!?
• The knee braces aren’t going to work if you’re not wearing them, Robyn. They’re not magic. You have to actually be wearing them for them to do anything. Not just for photo shoots, actual use. Appropriate use, at that, since daily wouldn’t be helpful either.
• I don’t buy that she tried eating healthy considering she posted about her last binge at one point, and then no less than 19 days later, posted images of Dominoes pizza with melodramatic comments about how she shouldn’t even bother. The same pizza she said she wasn’t going to touch.

Pt. 64. Transcript:
>Possible Ehlers Danlos Syndrome>>Swollen Joints>>Bruise easily>>Always tired>>Thin easily damaged skin>>Tummy/digestion problems>>Weak bladder -> coughs & sneezes>>pins & needles from being in 1 position for 1 or 2 mins>>knees worst but also affects fingers (mallet finger), hips, back, feet (flat feet), shoulder etc>>*panic attacks when faced with slipper floors>>panic attacks when snow or ice outside -> cannot leave house if it gets that bad>>cannot go out on my own in case of dislocationsSome of this shit isn’t even diagnostic criteria of EDS. Panic attacks when faced with slippery floors?! It’s called slip-resistant shoes! She says she can’t go out due to panic attacks when it snows either, despite uploading a bunch of pictures of her being out and not showing any distress whatsoever while complaining about snow. And I call bull on not being able to go out alone due to dislocations. She works, possibly full time what with the number of hours in her shifts. NHS gig would also likely be full time. Zak doesn’t come follow her to her job to babysit.
The hyperfocusing on constant dislocations and subluxations every couple of days instead of incorporating other symptoms, and emphasizing that she can’t function in society alone because of them, is what makes this a caricature. There is much, much more to EDS than dislocations and subluxations. It affects every system in the body. Hyperfocusing on primarily subluxations and dislocations is actually a huge problem for the medical field (as is hyperfocusing on stretchy skin and the Beighton criteria) because it paints a shallow picture of what life is like with EDS. It’s also largely based on media sensationalism, as the extreme cases that make television are the ones that have several dislocations a week or even daily. Other symptoms are added more as a passing thought than actually considered in depth. This kind of behavior suggests that she researched the condition on medical sites like WebMD and the likes, where she got a particular impression of EDS and made it work for her. That’s what many lazy Munchies do. The smarter ones delve into actual research articles about the condition(s) they’re faking, which I don’t see her as doing. She’s too lazy for that.
Basically, when she hyperfocuses on highly advertised symptoms (dislocations/subluxations, easy bruising, slow healing, transparent skin) instead of demonstrating signs of less commonly advertised symptoms (such as body structure, clinical signs of connective tissue disease like piezogenic pedal papules, and a high/narrow palate), she runs the risk of looking like she did very shallow research regarding the condition and only shows signs that she’s read about or induced herself, but not the ones that can only be picked up on by specialists. This problem is what helps specialists differentiate between factitious or Munchausen cases and genuine cases. As she moves to different accounts, her behaviors change and she starts to talk about issues that are less commonly advertised, suggesting she either went further indepth with her research or it’s a consequence of the EDS community’s active efforts to spread awareness (which is both good and bad – good in that it helps people get diagnosed, bad in that it gives people like Robyn information to use to appropriate illnesses they don’t have). In this account with her constant counting and 1-uping, and with these notes, Robyn comes off as trying to compete with media portrayals of EDS like this guy in order to prove she’s just as ill and people should pity her.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PunQu-bId1MPS: Coughs and sneezes are not indicative of EDS. Both of those can happen for lots of reasons. A common cause of sneezing in people who shop around for pills (we don’t know if she does at this point or not, but it’s theoretically possible so I can’t rule it out) is opiate withdrawal, which can happen from narcotic pain medication or tramadol. When I go into withdrawal because my meds wear off, I sneeze. A lot. Taking meds makes the sneezing stop. Both of these symptoms could just be because of recurrent colds or infections, or a consequence of the meds she’s popping. They’re not indicative of EDS. Being easily tired could be a result of a vitamin D deficiency, a very real possibility considering she stays indoors all the time and a commenter has already pointed this possibility out to her. She rejected it. Ironically, it can also cause chronic pain, and a poor immune system resulting in frequent infections or colds. Even frequent fractures. UK citizens are at much higher risk of vitamin D deficiency, which could account for her symptoms and is easily treatable unlike EDS.

Okay, the Chemical Burn Saga (I LOL'd that she named it that, too): This event was documented on her "YouDontLookThatDisabled" IG account, which she abandoned for her next attention-seeking account some time afterward.
Part 1: This image was posted on February 9th, 2015, but the description is dated June 26th, 2014. As she has done on other accounts, she is re-uploading her trophy pics long after the event.
Somehow, somewhere, Robyn encountered some acid and burnt her hand. We've established that this is not a substance that she would have encountered at her McDonald's job, so it is unknown where she obtained it and how she was burned. Her explanation regarding the burn is simply that she's an #accidentprone #spoonie, but being that she's a self-harmer and a munchie, we can infer that this was no accident. She documents the event with classic belle indifference (an inappropriately complacent attitude with respect to the injury and its potential severity). I highly suspect this was a deliberate experiment in how much and how long she could milk this burn for asspats and super-speshul medikul attenshun.
She diagnoses herself as having a second-degree/partial-thickness burn. She has not yet sought medical attention, and as will be clear shortly.

CB Saga Part 2: Still Day 1, 12 hours later. She is so fucking obsessive. I could see her spilling acid on her hand, wiping off most of it but leaving some on the skin and then sitting down with some popcorn to see what would happen.
Initial treatment is flushing the affected area (most commonly, water) without too much pressure for at least 15 min, repeating every 20 minutes if a burning sensation continues. Flushing within minutes of exposure greatly reduces potential damage as it works to bring pH back toward normal. I could give her the benefit of the doubt on not knowing how much to flush, and it looks like she applied baking soda at some point (neutralizing may seem intuitive but can actually cause more damage), but the fact that she waited 12 hours is suspect. Every minute counts with chemical burns, and even if she felt nothing initially, she would have felt the burning as time went on. Acid will keep causing damage as long as it is in contact with the area/until pH is restored to normal. Something's rotten in Denmark already…

CB Saga Part 3: Day 2 (June 27th, 2014). Still looks innocuous enough. At this point one must question the degree of potency of whatever substance she was allegedly exposed to. Regardless, her self-diagnosis is laughable. She still has not sought medical attention, and I am now wondering what else she did to herself, as the subsequent images get nastier. The frustrating thing here is that this is a retrospective reveal from her; we do not have all of the information and she was not initially successful in attracting enough attention that questions which may have revealed more were ever asked.

Chemical Burn Saga Part 4: Day 3 (June 28, 2014). Shit is looking a lot worse now. She admits doing this to herself but claims an accident. Still not enough info to know for sure what actually transpired. Given the look of the wound in Part 3, and her explanation of what happened to get to Part 4, it seems like some shit has been omitted. Knowing our dear Munchiechan, I am more inclined to believe she exacerbated the damage somehow.

bleach doesn't cause quite a burn like that even if it was still on the skin for 12+ hours. if you've ever bleached your own hair or forget to wear gloves when cleaning, the area just turns a little white but it doesn't really hurt.
this is too weak to be something as caustic as lye..
It also doesn't look like it blistered up so much like a burn..
(honestly i'm just trying to narrow down what she could have done this with)
Draino has lye in it but in a smaller amount maybe it could cause this?
honestly she could have just mixed bleach with windex..
she really states NOTHING about where the chemical burn came from? ever??
this is the part that's bothering me the most!
CB anon help.
