Over-The-Top Spoonies/Munchausen By Internet Attention Whores General #4
Previous Thread:
>>>/snow/237479Discuss people who feign or exaggerate chronic illnesses and medical crises for attention and asspats online. Previous topic focused primarily on Instagram accounts, but posts from blogs and other social media sites are admissible.
Some of the more notable cows from the previous threads:
LifeUndiagnosedd, aka Hypermobilegeek on IG (and a shit ton more accounts). Robyn Brown is the milkiest munchiechan we've ever seen ("Kadeelyn on steroids" as another anon put it) and has her own threads now (original:

What Is A "Spoonie"?
People who identify as 'Spoonies' are referencing 'The Spoon Theory,' written by a woman with lupus to explain the chronic illness experience to a healthy friend who asked her what it really feels like to live with her medical problems.
https://butyoudontlooksick.com/articles/written-by-christine/the-spoon-theory/The 'Spoonie' Community is, in general, a legitimate supportive network for people dealing with chronic illness. In recent years, however, it has become polluted with SJW types and has attracted a new breed of attention-seeking catfish: people who lie about, fake having, and/or exaggerate existing medical problems and crises for no benefit other than to garner attention.
What Is Munchausen By Internet (MBI)?
From Dr. Marc Feldman, an expert in factitious disorders including Munchausen Syndrome, 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."

>>345106There is no such thing as 10/10 chronic pain (medfag/chronicpainfag here). Managed chronic pain can't be 10/10, you'd be constantly losing consciousness from it. There is such a thing as breakthrough pain but anyone whose condition has breakthrough phenomena (I don't know enough about EDS pain management to know whether it does or doesn't, but as far as I'm aware, breakthrough pain is typical only for malignancies) has a breakthrough pain plan with PRN pain meds that are designed to act fast and hit the spot (I have fentanyl lollipops that are just wonderful! Of course, I'm no use for a few hours afterwards but at least I'm not passing out from the pain).
10/10 pain, in the rare instances that it happens, does not look like you're leaning back all comfy. It looks like clenched teeth, face distorted in a grimace of pain, tears streaming, flushed, sternocleidomastoid protruding and tense. Super bullshit, never mind the part about having multiple types of EDS.

Let me put a possibly more sympathetic spin on this. Consider the attached image, from Nicole's groundme started by her mother Tina.
Mom is a self-described medical research junkie (meaning she reads shit about medicine, not an addiction to randomized controlled trials). Daughter is young and in an unstable place in life where we crave parental approval. So she does the one thing that's bound to both make mom happy and get her interested in her life again, over her brother: suddenly become a medical mystery. Now mom can live the kind of story that she normally only gets to read about: a honest to dogness medical mystery, a world famous doctor (a Dr Chopra, not sure if he is well known for EDS but I've never come across his name) playing the part of a real life Dr House, and a lot of expensive testing. All the while she can enjoy the spotlight as the heroic mother of the sick child. This is a wonderful Munchie twofer: MBI daughter enabled by mother with MSbP mother. How fabulous. I am already feeling sorry for the poor clinicians who will have to deal with them.

Just went through Nicole's bullshit with medfag eyes.
> claims she is on eight kinds of medications 'given to cancer sufferers', refers to them as medications to induce remission of IBS
No such medications exist.
> the only prescription medication she is taking, other than the eight unidentified cancer medications, is naltrexone
Nobody with long term chronic pain that reaches 10/10 with a weekly regularity is on just naltrexone, of all things…
> has a blood disorder out of the blue
Without mentioning what it actually is.
> shows her wrist, claiming it is dislocated when it is at an angle a dislocated wrist could not be bent into
Just, no.
I am trying to figure out if she's scamming her mother or if she's aware and joining in, but either way, they're reprehensible.
Nicole, there's nothing wrong with you. You're a young lady with depression and a mom who wants to be a character on House MD. No amount of expensive testing will change that, though I noticed the HMSA poster explaining how EDS injuries are super invisible lol.
No. 345188
>>345166She's on TPN. I hate to say this but the most plausible explanation is that she is using her line to suck out blood. TPN means she has a Hickman line or a port (probably a Hickman line). The Hickman is a large diameter line that goes straight to the superior vena cava, right next to the heart, so it's relatively easy to suck out enough blood to drop Hgb to 8.
I had a Hickman line for two years and when my blood counts first crashed due to what we later learned was aplastic anemia, doctors insisted on monitoring me closely, despite the fact that I was a medfag myself, because they had a patient a few months earlier who was literally sucking all the blood she could out of her central line. This is the sort of shit why Munchie bullshit like what she is pulling is so dangerous.

>>345204It's not THAT uncommon. Years later when I went into gastroenterology, I saw a bunch of spoonies do it. We encountered this in a young female a few months ago. She had bone marrow biopsies and scans and genetics and a near infinite array of tests and nothing yielded. She lost blood almost as fast as we transfused it. Heaven knows how she managed to hide it when she was under 1:1 observation, as is now common for central line patients who present with unexplained anaemia and have a medical background (thanks Munchies!), but she was supposed to be transferred to a hematology specialist unit later that week. One day, a nurse accidentally tripped on her handbag, and its contents spilled out. She had all manners of syringes and heparin and stuff.

Oh fucking boy, here we go!
May I present Morgan McCastor, of the Syracuse, NY area. She apparently suffers from 15 different illnesses, and is going to be features in a documentary as she begins palliative care! She's even covered in loads of local news sources.
http://www.twcnews.com/nys/central-ny/news/2017/06/30/cny-woman-to-be-featured-in-upcoming-documentary.htmlSadly, Morgan is full of shit, a fact that the hospice workers have caught onto quite quickly. Just about all of her sooper serious 15 illnesses were pegged as behavioral health issues, prompting a full on meltdown from Morgan.
Of course, Morgan chooses to interpret this as being SO SO SICK that even HOSPICE can't save her!
(The fact is she's a malingering munchie who's definitely a drug-seeker. The Syracuse area is fucking sky-high with the opiate epidemic, to the point where the news channels usually every other week do a news segment on the opiate crisis.)

Surely it's good that she's trying to learn about her diagnosis and is actively looking for things which will help her. By reading about her condition, she might find something which helps her. Then she would spend less time in the doctor's office or emergency room.
Admittedly, the book gets very mixed reviews from patients with functional disorders, but if it helps Nicole recover then that's hardly a bad thing.

>>345797I just started looking at her account and find it really strange that she posts the sash in almost all of her pictures. Did a little digging and found that she applied for the pageant online and was accepted as a finalist and given a sash. I don't know Scotland so no idea how many people applied but if its a smaller area I would assume there are not a ton of adults looking to apply to online pageants. I am sure she submitted her sob story and they pageant picked her up if anything for a PR move (as she seemed to do several "news" stories about it). The sash she now parades around just says she was a finalist, which in this case pretty much just means she participated. The other pageant sash she was parading around was for some sort of online charity pageant in which she even said the titles are given on a "first come" basis. So she is parading herself around as an inspirational beauty queen when really she is mainly just sitting behind a computer screen (and yes it did at least once result in actually participating in a real event) and applying for things where she can tell her story so people can say she is so brave for pursuing these types of things.

Talk for ten minutes to the husband of a Munchie who convinced him for a decade that she was seriously ill. Go on, I dare you.

No. 348849
>>348822"With sepsis, the blood’s clotting mechanism can go into overdrive and cause blockages inside the blood vessels. When blood can’t pass through the blood vessels, oxygen and vital nutrients can’t get to the body’s tissues. If the tissues can’t get the nourishment they need, the tissues die.
When too much of the tissue dies, it has to be removed. Sometimes, doctors can remove just a small part, but other times, more drastic measures must be taken and parts of the body must be amputated.
For some people, amputations are limited to their fingers or toes, or parts of them. Others, however, may need amputations of their hands, feet, even arms or legs, all in an effort to save their life."

>>348448It's a similar to celiac disease these days…eveeyone claims to be gluten free but very few have actually had the positive biopsies and diagnosis.
A lot of people claim GP but don't really have it. I've noticed a large trend of anorexia sufferers saying they have GP..when in reality most have not had the formal testing and just go by the symptoms they experience during recovery (which can mimic GP symptoms) now if one lingers on recovery for a long time or go back and forth a lot the symptoms will be around longer. It is also known that a lot of sickly anorexic (any ed but specially anorexia) suffers can have the testing done and it will come back positive for GP. HOWEVER it's not an issue at that point and unless it is significant (usually indicating it was pre-existing) it's only considered a delay that will go away with proper nutrition and care. Something during recovery they will put these people on medications to help, but it's taken away once your body has healed. A delay is different than Gp. GP is not reverseable.
It can also be common for people to be given a NJ in treatment with lowered oral meals until thwir body starts healing and they slowly ween off tube feeds to oral to help prevent mental and physical set backs.
A G/J Tube a G tube a J tube are not permanent. They can be easily removed. It's just that they last longer than any Nasal tube..the stomas around the stomach tunes close up really quickly once pulled.
Typically here(us) they will start with an NJ tube for GP. As a J or G tube is avoided as much as possible. A lot of GP sufferers actually prefer a NJ tube..to each their own..way less scaring that way. Lol.
But in some cases a person just cannot have an NJ. Which leaves no other option but a J.
Vomiting can be one of those reasons. It's easy to throw up a nasal tube and the more you have to have it placed the more damage it can cause your nasal area sinus throats, more danger is involved the more it happens..its weighted and that can sometimes poke the wrong area and cause some issues. So if someone like MLS insists all she does is throw up and the dr gives her her precious tube I wouldn't be that surprised if he gives her a J tube to prevent complications with her "constant vomiting"
I'll be ashamed if he gives her a G tube also or even a GJ (these can flip causing the same issues as a NJ) with her anorexia and purging behaviors.
Sometimes they will give you an NJ inpatient under obs. To see how you handle the feed and if you throw up etc before they will consider a J tube.
For the surgical j tube it's a little similar it depends on what type and why you get it.
It is was more common for NG and G tubes than NJ and J tubes outside of the motility issue bubble because they are much safer, easier and less invasive.
All tubes arent really as common as it appears on social media in adults.
Sorry for the length but I hope that helps answer some of your tube questions.

>>348874Being bored as shit, I did a cross reference on our medical statistics portal that summarizes a lot of data from various states for breakdowns of all 0D6* interventions (G-tubes and GJs, whether percutaneously or endoscopically inserted) against its indication, by five year segments. It's a fucking shocker. Just ten years ago, virtually all feeding tubes for adults were for people with CF, cancer, post-transplantees, a small number of people with GI issues who benefited from gastric percutaneous decompression and drainage and people with severe disabilities of the neurological kind that resulted in dysphagia or aspiration. In the last five years, almost half of the tubes inserted were for K31.84 (gastroparesis), with an average patient age of 24 (odd, I would have thought that because at least some of these cases would be diabetic GP and all type diabetes has an onset peak in the teens and another onset peak in the 40s onwards, it would be much lower or much higher!). Fuck, it's become a god damned style accessory. Worst of all, if tubes are demanded because the patients feel at risk of malnutrition and death, where are the deaths from gastroparesis or related functional causes? I don't see them. It's as if an epidemic of gastroparesis suddenly arose in the last five to ten years.
I'm sure it had nothing to do with spoonie instagram.

I have serious doubts anyone with this level of issues would even be allowed by any sports organizing body to compete, especially given that there is a potential link between MCAS and exercise induced anaphylaxis (in fact some argue EIA is a subclass of MCAS).

Never mind the risks and side effects of an untrained moron self inserting an NG. It's easy for trained people to fuck it up and shove it the lungs and fail to detect it until it's too late.

>>349417This often seems true with the latest trends but at the same time any doctor in their right mind wouldn't do any of that unless absolutely medically necessary..G tubes are really pretty simple and no big deal..they can place a G tube (PEG) during an upper GI..its outpatient and relatively complication free (there are exceptions to everything though) you can change your peg at home and the stoma care is pretty simple and easy.(again, there is always exceptions specially when you have munchies fucking with their shit)
The bigger changes like a J tube, central line and stomas are not handed out like pegs due to how incredibly dangerous they can be..a dr cannot legally give a patient that unless it's needed and often times, at least here, the drs opt for second or third opinions before going down that road if anything seems iffy..huge liability..unless it is an emergency of course and unless it's clear the patient needs it. But they don't hand these out like NG/NJ/G/GJ tubes.
However it's not uncommon to see them have these devices while in the hospital temporarily and that's when these munchies milk it like crazy.
There are a couple of munchies on IG that I feel like fake having a device by ordering it online and finding a way to attach it to themselves for attention..much like buying an NG online and placing it themselves.

Your comment screamed this picture to me so I had to post it in reply. I do not know if this is an NG or NJ, but I believe she was actually home or in a PHP program when she had this tube.
She has not come forward with any "I'm dying from GP that my severe anorexia caused" bs that I am aware of…which is so strange for this munchie..maybe her appeal is keeping her super severe medical complications from anorexia a "secret" (non-existent) for more attention..like her last gofundme where her friend claimed she was dying and soon needed dialysis yet her insurance wouldn't cover her "legit" medical needs and she somehow magically cured of it all once taking like 3000$ from people and being served a reality check she wasn't going back to any precious treatment center and daddy wasn't forking over hundreds of thousands out of pocket again.

She's had echoes, lots of ekgs, ultrasounds, 24hr and 48hr monitor and a 30 day event monitor tests yet they still can't figure out what is going on with her heart….her last appt went fine and her main comment was they still don't know and it hasn't gotten worse with a lingering feeling that upset her and upped her game.
Basically nothing is wrong. The most is side effects from her messing with it..probably meds and behind the scene type things. She's been on the heart issue since she went to treatment for the" most serious case of anorexia in the state"
To mls
You can't fake heart problems like some GI problems bby. Give it up and stop wasting Drs and their patients time resources and energy trying to fulfill your attention needs and go back to your psych team you claim to have and ask for the proper help before you endanger or kill someone else by using their needed resources please

>>349692Because famously all we do 24/7 is rank patients by severity. No, really. Even in conditions where status is not easily quantifiable, hospitals across the state spend all day discussing who the most severe case is. HIPAA clearly doesn't apply to that, because it's totally crucial to know who the most severe anorexic, gastroparetic etc. is in the state. They then get a gold star and a certificate signed by Hippocrates and Galen himself (and a lifetime pass to the psych ward).

>>349764>>349774Hi original anon here! I'm doing well thank you. :)
Her Facebook was the worst for me. It was a post nearly every day about some struggle that could have been made better if she didn't ignore the comments trying to help her and give her advice. One time a much older person was trying to offer some solidarity by saying what he had gone through, and she started talking over him and saying how she was practically dying.
I think she had several GoFundMe pages one of which was to get a service dog and another was to get a tattoo. I think there was a third where she wanted help raising money to color her hair again. It was terrible.
https://www.instagram.com/endlessvoices/https://www.instagram.com/danilizm/>>349781Anon, were you in treatment with her as well? You are right, one day she got upset at people calling her out for her before-and-after lowest weight and recovery photos saying how it was inappropriate to post them especially with people in recovery in her friends list and she called it harassment. She said she would stop posting on Facebook for "a long time" and I think posted again in a few hours complaining about some movie or book or how her hair color is fading.

The worst clients will be in and out of ER more than weekly. Once, a woman in residential decided that once the episode of Gilmore girls she was watching was over she was going to drive herself to the local er for psych triage. The only thing wrong was she was bored because it was the last episode of the season.
Dani fits all the usual hallmarks for malingerers and lazy opportunists who latch on to disability or mental illness as a lifelong excuse to be babied and provided for.
How often were you all help responsible for her feeling shitty in therapy? Bet you were 'bullies and singling her out' if you dared mention that she's being hugely inappropriate.

Yet here they agree and she doesn't even know why.
So what's the truth?
I'm thinking more of a slowness disability maybe..but she wouldn't need to fake being sicker for that like she does

It can get boring (though I'm pretty sure at least some of that is because the NHS is not profit driven and so things are a lot more leisurely than back home), so yeah, you'll find plenty of time to fuck about. I became interested in this thread because we see a lot of these people on a day to day basis and I think deep down every doctor, nurse and allied health professional is annoyed at their bullshit but it's almost a professional taboo to bring up how we feel about malingerers and Munchies. I don't know if the other medfags are genuine, but why should I care? I'm not asking them to operate on me, and as long as what they're saying makes sense, I don't care if they're a consultant neurosurgeon or a FY1 with a Walter Mitty complex.

God, this discussion is tedious. Can we stop arguing about who is and isn't a doc and go back to munchy milk? It's pointless. Whether medfag is a doc or not, he won't show you proof - let's get real, you wouldn't, either, knowing it would risk your career. And it is quite irrelevant - the point of this thread is to discuss munchys, and if whatever medfag and labfag has to add is pertinent to that, fine, and if it isn't, it doesn't matter whether they're doctors or not.

Anyone follow this chick? Doesn't look like a munchie, but sure is way over the top. Like nearly topless photos, and bought herself two backpacks for fluids (they're usually done by gravity so a backpack isn't going to do shit). Not many posts, but good god. Also, there's a video of someone feeding her the same popsicle, and she laments the fact that no one got a video of her coming out of surgery. Just as annoying as that Jacquie girl
No. 350841
>>350837Ambulatory fluids are done almost always using an IV pump and thus a backpack is perfectly ok. It is in fact common for people on TPN whose infusion times may be 12-18 hours a day to use a backpack holding their bag and a pump.
Not white knighting, just clarification.
No. 350883
>>350837Yeah most feeds/fluids aren't done by gravity, they're done by pump. Only bolus feeds are usually done by gravity.
Went to school with a guy on TPN who was hooked up to his backpack at least half of the day.
No. 350957
>>350883Feeds are, but for iv home hydration, it's common to have it done by gravity simply because iv pumps are a lot more expensive than a feed pump. TPN definitely needs a pump, but hydration doesn't. There's special tubing that adjusts the rate. Insurance companies don't want to have to pay for anything they don't have to. There's even special containers for iv medications that don't require a pump.

No. 350982
>>350957Elastomeric pumps (balloon pumps) don't work for larger volumes and cheaper IVs. Typically they're used for chemo or abx, never seen them for fluids or TPN. For a long term fluid dependent person, it is absolutely paramount to have a controlled rate of flow lest they overload their heart and/or kidneys, and gravity kits are not very precise. Plus, especially with young people, providers now largely recognize that spending six hours a day hooked up to fluids is not fun.

"I'm in so much pain that I end up crying, let's take a good selfie to show people my tears"
I think it's really funny that she always snaps when people wish her "Get well soon". And she always replies with her sob story :)
She just got diagnosed with endo, but she keeps writing that she has it for 13 years. Getting your period might be painful, but how can you be so sure that you already have it for 13 years?
Recently she had 9 incurable chronic illnesses and now she only has 7? And what's really strange: What happened to her breast lumps and her chronic sinusitis?
Honestly I'd like to have a doctor who is able to cure incurable illnesses!
Suddenly her RA isn't just severe but "end stage RA" and thanks to it she has heart problems. Depending on the day she also has lung problems. My knowledge about RA is limited, but isn't it kinda odd that she's able to walk without crutches? And using your smartphone must be impossble during morning stiffness during the end stage, when your hands are so painful?
Her explanations for her selfies and sobbing? She wants to be an advocate for RA and other chronic illnesses!
No. 350997
>>350982I guess it's done differently in other places, my experience has been different from what people are saying. (Going to power level here, sorry) I do iv fluids at home, and don't have a pump, and everything was ordered by Mayo. There's a special valve in tubing controls the rate very closely, like a pump would, just with a lower maximum volume per hour. (Although being mobile would be awesome, I'm a bit jealous of people who have a pump!)
I still can't stand when spoonies turn their illness into a fashion statement and give medical things cutesy pet names. Guess it's more of a personal annoyance.

She's discussing her treatment for RA all the time. Someone only has to write "Get better" or "I'm so sorry, that you're in pain" and her answer to that contains every treatment she had so far and how many illnesses she has.
Sadly there is end stage RA. Most of the time she only posts what hurts. She is trying to talk to her surgeon since November or so, but she keeps claiming that she can't reach him. She only had surgeries for her elbow and wrist(right arm), which isn't that much.

People who have a lot of those specific illnesses are not even close to being totally disabled and usually they aren't fatal barring accidents, but the moment you say heart problems, dislocated, or paralyzed, people who aren't familiar with that specific condition freak out and pile on the sympathy. I feel like a lot of the ott spoonies may actually have the condition they claim and latched on to the attention but aren't nearly as severe as they pretend to be. The unnecessary wheelchairs, braces, and tubes are things they use to try and convince themselves that they're really truly the sickest, most disabled, cripple punk that ever made being sick part of their identity. Kind of like when some ana-chans want to be hospitalized so they can say they were the best at being anorexic.
If they didn't have whatever illness(es) they latched on to, they'd just be trying to become the edgiest youtuber, the most messed up heroin addict, or whatever toopoor is trying to be. It's kind of what makes them cows.

She even had her appendix removed unnecessarily when she was a student…reminds me of Robyn's "appendectomy saga". Then took a caring profession, and found herself mysteriously alone in the room with several infants when they had fatally low blood sugars, or unexplained heart attacks (she was injecting air into their veins). She still got to be the centre of attention.
No. 351633
>>351631She needs something to keep her busy and give her an identity beyond being sick. (Being a caregiver in a nursing home would be terrible since its hard work with little thanks and she would gain access to all sorts of medical information and supplies she doesn't need).
I do think she does have mental health issues, possibly severe depression/anxiety or something of the sort that can manifest physical symptoms but is often misunderstood so she clings to the physical things since they gain more understanding. If she isn't intentionally causing her no so severe "severe" gastroparesis then it could very well just be an anxiety issue.
She seems like she would be fully capable of holding down some sort of job - if she got the proper therapy/medication combination. Her current therapist doesn't seem to be doing her any favors. It wouldn't necessarily be easy for her to hold down a job but finding a routine and identity outside of being sick would do her a world of good.

This is Ali.
Yes, I have watched this board ever since I found out I was on it. No one tells me these things, but I just stop and watch the ignorance flooding into (many of the posts in) this forum. And because of this forum, despite how ugly it can get, I did learn something. But I'm not playing the victim (unless you see yourselves as bullies).
I genuinely apologized. I actual saw some wrong in what I was doing, for goodness sakes. I didn't write the apology to play the victim; you want people to stop doing what they're doing and realize what they have done is wrong, so there you go. I'm going to stop posting about my health in "munchie fashion". But I'm not going to stop getting the care that I need. I don't clog up multiple doctors. I rarely go to the hospital. I get diagnostics and treatments for things that my doctor has witnessed in office, not just things I've brought up to him. I pay for all of my crap (or insurance picks it up, which is paid for). I'm not using up resources that I don't need. And I would give ANYTHING to not be ill and go back to the life I once had. I don't want this life. Had you read the apology, you would know there is more to me than my illnesses but I never showed that side on an account I made to keep the embarrassing details out of my personal life. I HATE being ill and hate showing signs of my illness.
So stop. All you're doing is stalking me at this point. You're not getting the "milk" you want so you're finding any pathetic excuse to make crap up or dig into literally any place you want. Laugh all you want, think things are fake all you want, but stalking (looking for any possible content on me, trying to gain access to my private accounts, "we have spies on her personal account" → that'll go over well in defending yourself in me "playing the victim") and posting about me is unacceptable, especially when they are lies.
Anyway… my apology was sincere and I'm sorry some of you are too arrogant to see that. But you need to stop. Thanks.

Whoops, bet you weren't counting on someone remembering your latest forays into diagnoses? I seem to remember you were diagnosed with delusional disorder, and eschewed the continuing diagnosis of BPD? Which is pretty clearly you have.
But yeah, no one's going to stop because you apologized. You're sucking up resources of people that actually need the medical care you don't need, such as for EDS, POTS, whatever.

>>352107I think she was apologising for her prior Instagram behaviour. I may be in the minority but I doubt she would clinically be considered to have Munchausen's. I could be wrong but my guess is she's just a young woman who is emotionally unstable and uses mild ill health as a source of attention. Same with the doll girl who was posted earlier (Felicity Rose?). I don't think either of them is on the level of "faking" a whole illness, more like exaggerating and being melodramatic. That's sadly become normal on Instagram although they are at the extreme end (I hope Ali does see how unhelpful I think is, I think she makes a fair point that following her around online after she's deleted her spoonie account is a bit pointless).
Then there are people like Kelly and similar who are more concerning IMO because they literally drain resources and have huge followings to manipulate and mislead. I agree with the anon above that she could be faking MS. They're often milkier than these young women who aren't set in their ways yet, in my opinion.

but in her defense, if she actually did see a doctor and get a diagnosis, it's probably false. as far as i know from the cases in my immediate family, it's also not something that shows up in fucking bloodwork. how she went from "blood disorder" to "MS" is outrageous. does she even know what the disease is?
sorry for the autism, my dad and his sister both have MS and it's incredibly severe and watching their decline over the years is heartbreaking.
bust still, it's pretty rare for MS to appear in people younger than mid-to-late thirties since it's a chromosomal thing

It really bothers me seeing how many people seemingly fake serious medical issues. One thing that I've seen a ton in the spoonie/ill community online is people who seem to get diagnosed with something after one test/one doctors visit. I had severe aplastic anemia (year and a half post bmt from my brother to cure it!) and it took a month and a half, three bone marrow biopsies, and multiple different blood tests before they finally diagnosed me, even though it was pretty clear it's what I had I went into the hospital with a Hg of 49, platelets of 15, and basically non-existent white count). Furthermore, as someone who was basically just putting off dying for a few months while I waited for my transplant, I still went to university everyday (cell bio degree :)), I did my best to do light work outs that wouldn't cause any dizziness or fainting, and I honestly only ever made a few posts about it. People who fake serious illnesses make me sick, because I had to fight to get people to believe I was sick, so people faking it is really just making it harder for legitamely sick peoples to be recognized. I really hope that these people get the mental help they seem to need.

The other thing I hate? Fucking Vogmasks.
Now, masks are appropriate in the severely immunosuppressed (post transplant, immune deficiency, chemo, etc.) and in rare circumstances during pollen season they might anecdotally help people with atopy, though the point of atopy is that if it gets in touch with their skin or eyes, it can still provoke a nasty reaction.
Now, these situations are rare. People can be on heavy duty immunosuppressants as we give out say for Crohn's disease or various other autoimmune diseases (say 2-3mg azathioprine per kg body weight) or even cytotoxic chemo and not need a mask. The reality is that these masks are not in any sense justified when at the same time you keep touching shit other people have touched without gloves (people who are immunosuppressed often wear cotton gloves for this very reason), eating random shit that no one with serious immunosuppression should (milk, uncooked meats etc.) and generally don't care much for separation.
And don't even get me started on the bullshit explanation about being 'allergic to everything'. The eosinophilias that would cause that are insanely rare and present very differently than just being allergic to everything (sorry, not gonna give Munchies tips here).

None have MS or any symptoms suggestive of it. She did not even consider that her issues might be her brain shutting down from lack of oxygen due to severe anemia - no, she went straight to MS when tbh most of her symptoms are not very specific. Sure, she had bladder issues, but that's associated with cord MS, not brain MS, as far as I'm aware (my remit is the other end of people). She never reported Lhermitte's, meningism, anatomically confined paraparesis (i.e. limited to a dermatome rather than a random area) or, most importantly, optic neuritis.

>>352447The following is from my friend, who works as a child life specialist (basically, sort of a cross between social worker and psychotherapist to children who spend long periods of time in hospital, including those who may never leave). Her commentary:
"We explicitly discourage this. When parents go home with a kid hooked up to vents and tubes and IV lines, we explicitly tell them to make the room look as friendly as they can and not turn it into a hospital. Parents who are a little too keen to do that are dodgy, by the way. Children who are surrounded by medical equipment and feel like they're in hospital even at home are at risk of getting institutionalised and they have a tough time to function in other environments once they recover. I'm not sure how this translates to adults, but even in the case of teens we encourage an environment that is far from the cold clinical environment of a hospital. Often we see kids who have grown up with parents who built a hospital room at home pretend to have issues so they can be admitted because the only environment in which they feel at ease is a hospital."

Legislation on access encompasses all animals, whether they're called sssistance dogs or not, who fulfill certain conditions. Animals who don't are generally considered 'emotional support animals' which is a nice way to say 'pet with an idiot for a handler'. As such, it's not the registration or the harness that makes an assistance dog, but what it does for the disabled person. However, owing to the minefield that ADA and access legislation is, most people just look at the dog and if it has the harness or the handler has an ID, they assume it's legit.

You guys do realize that we find you repugnant, right? And think you are aggressively mistreating yourselves physically in order to garner attention from medical specialists?
On a different note, those of you feeling the need to open up about your different medical paraphenalia, please shut the fuck up. I don't give a shit if you need a wheelchair, an IV, or a fucking VOGmask.

Ok, not sure if this is a cow but almost definite some of this is bullshit. The probability of three inoperable spinal tumours (yet not a trace of her undergoing cytostatic therapy or radiation or anything…), MS AND CRPS is rather low. Sure, some diseases (POTS + GP + EDS) may travel together, but these are three different conditoins with altogether different aetiologies.
I'm calling bullshit on this.

>>352598Tbh she definitely feels like a lowkey cow, but probably doesn't have the high volume mental disorders that uber cows like Ali, Shelbie, and Kelly have. But going through her insta is kinda chilling because she's just lowkey enough that I'm guessing her doctors trust that she's not faking.
She claims to have developed MS at the age of 14, so she's absolutely a cow, and has that same trend of spamming the hashtags with every single illness she claims to have. Pic related.
Oh– the "spinal tumors" she has are spinal arachnoid cysts, which according to senior Google, "Many spinal arachnoid cysts cause no symptoms at all. However, if the cyst is large enough, it can compress the spinal cord and surrounding nerves. In these cases, patients may experience pain, weakness, or numbness in the back, arms, or legs."
So yeah. It's not like fucking cancer or anything.

However, the fact that she seems to have no parcel of life that is not pervaded by her obsession with her tubes and chemo and oxygen and TPN, and the near childish way she uses coping mechanisms devised for children (naming your tube and Tubie Whoobies are for 7-year-old girls with cancer who need to undergo the pain and indignity of a G-tube, not grown-ass adults, you obsessive fucks!) is just… insane.

I think they're throwing scary sounding treatments at what is essentially a connective tissue disease that won't respond to a stem cell transplant like other connective tissue diseases do. EDS isn't because your autoimmune system is attacking the connective tissues. They're just fucked up for other reasons.
Other connective tissue diseases, like scleroderma, are because the autoimmune system is attacking your healthy connective tissues. Which I guess is why a stem cell transplant MIGHT work in resetting the fucked up autoimmune response. I'm guessing the EDS munchies are stupidly equating EDS with other connective tissue diseases.

>>352738In general, yes.
There are some exceptions, e.g. fentanyl doesn't do shit against neuropathic pain (methadone is the only opioid that works for neuropathic pain because of its effect on NMDA receptors) or pain from a conversion disorder. But for any legitimate pain that is not fixed by a decent dose of fentanyl, it's unlikely that there's any other way to fix it short of something brutal and ill-advised, such as epidurals, nerve root blockades with lidocaine, conotoxins like ziconotide administered intrathecally, and so on. Fentanyl is also not the strongest of the opioids - it is the most potent by mass, but an equivalent dosis of diamorphine (heroin), which is only permitted in terminal palliative care, is much more euphoric and has a stronger effect on pain (equianalgesic doses are actually calculated based on acting on the same number of receptors - an equianalgesic dose guarantees no withdrawals but the pain killing effect of one drug at the equianalgetic dose with the other might be stronger, significantly so in fact!).

>>352709On a cow related note, Courtney is a fucking barrel of laughs, pic related. Yes, Courtney, "a connective tissue disease" is, in fact, a diagnosis, not that I want to give you any validation. I think she wants her rheumatologist to amp it up and give her the mixed connective tissue disease diagnosis she's jonesing for. She's seeming to get everything from the doc aside for the actual words, which is what she's craving. Plaquenil is generally one of the safest drugs to give to someone with UCTD/MCTD that have symptoms on the lower end of the spectrum, as it's not nearly as toxic as other anti-malarials that are traditionally used. Because that shit will make your liver have a very bad time. I'm guessing she wants some hard core corticosteroids, which are like if Satan came up from hell to whisper in your ear every moment of the day.
Also her whole "raynauds" thing is hilarious. Raynauds is more or less harmless, unless you have the ulcerating variety, in which case you would be more worried about the dying flesh at the end of your digits, rather than sticking it on your profile to get the sweet spoonie points. You can even have Raynauds all by itself without any other condition, so it's possible that she may never get a more definitive condition or a more definite diagnosis.

Long-time lurker, first-time poster. Was led to lolcow after Joysus and the Spergleberries rubbed me the wrong way weeks ago, and just discovered this thread last week, and I probably shouldn't have been surprised by how widespread this particular type of attention-seeking is. I suppose we all know a couple.
https://www.captainangrybones.com/(The real show happens on Facebook, and possibly on Instagram but I am unable to follow and it's completely private.)
Meet my personal favorite munchie-cow. This lovely lady has been imagining illnesses for years in (relative) privacy before she took to the internet in an attempt to literally be Dina Niels (a young woman with RA who refused to give up being a triathlete over it). I've been following her for years under a previous alias, and it's amusing to watch her revise her own personal history to prove that she has always had [trendy disease du jour] undiagnosed and now is permanently damaged because of it. She actually claimed several other things in the past before deciding to stick with first celiac disease, then various types of arthritis, and so on, then did some doctor shopping to get the diagnoses she wanted despite inconclusive tests. Makes a big deal about how she's "literally one in a billion" because of her sooper speschul extra-rare youneeek subset of said arthritis. (Her blog really illustrated that, but seems to be down indefinitely. She has a twenty-year-old angelfire page that is still accessible, so I didn't even think to try to back it up.) At this point she's been doing it so long I always wonder whether the latest symptom is imaginary, psychosomatic, or if she's having real side effects from the powerful drugs she's taking for diseases she doesn't have.
She has recently started posting again after a leave of absence, so may be one to watch.
Some examples of her bonkers:
https://www.facebook.com/CaptainAngryBones/posts/1893571710878740 Her celiac is the literal worst celiac there is. I have on at least one occasion seen her refer to it as "end stage." End stage celiac disease. Went off on someone for implying their anaphylaxis was in any way as serious as her end stage celiac disease for which she was having seizures on a thread elsewhere too long ago for me to find. (She has never had a seizure to my knowledge, and certainly hadn't then.)
https://www.facebook.com/CaptainAngryBones/posts/1892066007695977She has more rare diseases than anyone! Spoiler, afaik, she actually does have one of these things. If I remember correctly, it's a common type of cyst that is usually found by accident and doesn't actually do anything besides show up in radiology. It's the visible proof you can point to that she's always wanted, and I think they day they found it was like a second Christmas to her. She may have recently upgraded it to an adenoma, but that may just be a new additional thing she claims to have. Who can keep up? I also suspect she has a real running injury that she just won't let heal properly. She took up running the minute she was able to get a diagnosis of arthritis, because they told her not to, and immediately started training really hard. She freely admits this.
https://www.facebook.com/CaptainAngryBones/posts/1683767471859166I am the most inspirational! And the most humble! (This one might be just a little BEC, sorry.)
https://www.facebook.com/CaptainAngryBones/posts/1638057953096785This is just an example of the infrequent posts that give a sense that she always tests negative or inconclusive for the disorders she claims to have. After reading back through two years on her main post looking for two other posts in particular that made her look even more suspect, I'm settling on this one and quitting because now I am bored.
Of note: This spoon-muncher at least makes a token effort to "raise awareness" and has raised small amounts of money for her various illnesses, and to my knowledge has not abused gofundme. The former is most likely just virtue-signalling + SEE HOW SICK I AM YOUGUISE and the latter is probably only because she managed to marry rich, but I'll give her credit anyway.
However, also of note is that she spent the last decade telling everyone her (totally normal child who eats normal food) is borderline for celiac, has eosinophilic esophagitis, and has an insensitivity to sugar. She's mentioned at least the former two on her facebook page, though I think I only caught her saying "disaccarride intolerance" one time elsewhere, and may have decided to not run with that one.
Tbh, she often comes off as more of a gigantic hypochondriac half the time than an actual munchie. I've been debating with myself for years over which it might be. Can it be both?
I apologize that I am not able to post screens atm. I was debating whether to mention her at all because her following isn't even that huge and she periodically fucks off for weeks at a time before remembering her sympathy machine at all, but hey, it's Saturday. If anyone else finds her as irritating as amusing as I do and has the time, feel free to fix this issue for me.
P.S: Also talks about having Raynaud's phenomenon (without ever showing proof) like it's a big effing deal. And likes being photographed in Vog masks and while self-injecting drugs.

>>352954Err, speaking from that corner (with the difference that rather than whiling away my days at home feeling sorry for myself, I was actively dying): if you have an illness that can't be figured out, you should be aiming for palliative treatment. That's the difference between actual sick people and spoonies. Spoonies want a diagnosis they can flash on instagram, and want one that is currently trendy (used to be mito… what happened to that? It's EDS and MCAD and *CTD and CRPS now…), not treatment for the symptoms they have. It's not uncommon for the cause of a person's illness not to be identified for months, but in the meantime, they can get treatment for what bothers them. Which most spoonies get: pain relief etc. Honey, your beloved spoonies and yourself don't suffer from magical conditions. You suffer mostly from trivial physical illnesses compounded by a histrionic psychopathology. For this, you do what histrionics do best and make everyone's life hell: doctors, your family, your loved ones, your spouse, other genuinely sick people. All of you need to take a long hard look at yourself and think about what's broken in your lives so that you seek attention at the expense of others, and then try to get treatment for that. With a lot of DBT, there's a chance you may start having normal human relationships rather than the abusive relationships in which you suck people emotionally dry and ragged with your constant drama. Maybe then people will actually love you rather than be chained to you by the sudden acute exacerbations of your nonexistent illnesses every time they try to break free.
Harsh, but true.

>>352969Also, she has two different kinds of arthritis and *CTD. That does not exist. You either have arthritis or UCTD/MCTD. You literally can't have both.
But wait, there's more! She claims to have EDS and dysautonomia, too! Now, if you don't know shit about medicine, that makes sense. Autoimmune diseases do happen in bunches and having one predisposes you to having another. However, EDS is not an autoimmune disease, it's a congenital deficiency of collagen synthesis/folding. The chances of having one set of inflammatory rare diseases and another set of congenital joint diseases is fairly low, so the two co-occurring are what I will now term Anonfag's Second Sign: a person diagnosed with a genetic joint disease and an autoimmune inflammatory joint disease is almost definitely a cow.

I was shit close to having the best screen shots. She knows without a doubt that we get milk there. She responded to some of our topics in here under her last few posts. And I think her fan club is annoyed with her… She wrote in brackets (no lectures) so she knows. People are figuring the whole thing out!

Browsing through her feed, she apparently takes up a hospital bed, while receiving vitamin infusions and claiming her immune system is suppressed. Though this clinic she's at seems like a munchie's wet dream. It's a private medical clinic that treats shit like allergies and Lyme disease. Augh. I shudder to think of the cost of this.
At least she isn't in the regular healthcare system.

>>353088What creeps me out is how otherwise healthy she looks and seems. She's not at all lethargic, she's not remotely frail, not even when she's in a hospital bed with pale lips– she looks lucid, with normal energy, has the energy even for a bit of misplaced humor by doing a normal pose for a photo.
And that range of movement, fluidity and flexibility even on bi-weekly transfusions more or less flies in the face of unexplainable blood disorder. When you're as anemic and/or hypovolemic as she claims to be, you simply can't do that kind of physical stuff.
I think someone before suggested Kelly accesses the port to drain her own blood, which I'm thinking more and more to be likely, rather than some kind of destructive process going on in her body. She would have way more constitutional symptoms.
Which makes me so mad, looking at ALL OF THAT BLOOD that is shown hooked up to her. And she does this every two weeks. My fucking god.

Emma also exhibits quite a bit of institutionalization.

No. 353452
>>353437There's an extremely revealing aspect to this that Kelly might have ignored. she might just have given the solution to her own mystery.
You see, there are basically two kinds of anemia - one where you lose blood (hypovolemic anemia) and one where you just don't have the cells you need to keep you going (such as aplastic or hemolytic anemias). Now, aplastic anemia simply means you don't produce enough to keep up with the natural death rate of blood cells. Hemolytic anemia means something is attacking your red blood cells and breaking them into little pieces. Both of these are slow gradual processes - it takes at least the lifespan of RBCs (6 days give or take) to have a noticeable effect.
Now, as your blood counts start to slowly go down, you start to experience tingling and numbness. That's because your body is no longer adequately supplied with oxygen. Your muscles become weak and feel like they're on fire.
But if you simply suddenly suck a shitload of blood out of your port and replace it with fluids (or not) then go and have a transfusion (if she had the transfusions without sucking out the blood, she would have iron overload and get seriously sick, also seriously tan!), you don't necessarily experience these symptoms long enough to be aware of them. Which means that if these symptoms are new enough to Kelly to make her scared about having a stroke, she probably does not have a long slow onset anemia. Which proves the Farmer's Hypothesis of her using her port to bleed herself.
What a fucking selfish trainwreck. One lie piled on top of another, and for what? Because cutting didn't get her enough attention and having a mysterious disease where your blood disappears without a trace (and I do mean that… most anemias leave some evidence - hemolytic anemias can be detected by looking for the waste products of hemolysis, aplastic anemias can be detected by looking at immature cells and reticulocytes in the bloodstream as well as bone marrow biopsies which she has had, as far as I'm aware) is so much more exciting.
There's a tiny part of me that feels sorry for her - she could have a much better life if only she got help and fixed her evidently long standing and complex psychiatric issues. She is still young and she can still have a life and she can do so without having to hurt herself. At the same time, I understand that she fears that because of the blood she has used up that could have been needed for someone else, she would be judged. That's between her and her shrink, I just hope she gets the help she needs because this is not good for anyone,

>You see, there are basically two kinds of anemia - one where you lose blood (hypovolemic anemia) and one where you just don't have the cells you need to keep you goingNo. There are more than 2 kinds of anemia; the most common of which you have neglected altogether (deficiency-related malformations anyone?).
>Now, as your blood counts start to slowly go down, you start to experience tingling and numbness. That's because your body is no longer adequately supplied with oxygen. Your muscles become weak and feel like they're on fire.>you don't necessarily experience these symptoms long enough to be aware of them. Which means that if these symptoms are new enough to Kelly to make her scared about having a stroke, she probably does not have a long slow onset anemia. The fuck? I don't even know where to begin with this. These symptoms (paresthesias, etc.) are related to acute panic attack sequelae; not those typically experienced from anemia. Further, you would not have a 'grace period' between exsanguination and transfusion before symptomatic onset. Just no.

does anyone else find her behaviour very peculiar? i know when i'm at the ED the last thing on my mind is cracking jokes, making outrageous ballet poses, and bringing props. i'm there because i'm under severe distress and medical reasons. and the whole bringing a weight to the hospital to shame an anon who questioned her for working out when she claims to be so ill is so weird to me. i'm just so perplexed by her behaviour.

>>353519It's actually more mysterious that you CAN lift weight when you are as anaemic as you claim. Unless of course you're ok right up until you venesect yourself. Incidentally, having some time off my shift, I PubMed'd 'factitious illness' + 'venesection' and apparently it's far from rare and frequent in people with central vascular devices.
The whole thing feels a little like what people with eating disorders do. They bring weights into treatment or heavy objects to be able to exercise and burn off calories while doctors are desperately trying to get them to gain. At this point, I'm rather mystified why a hospital allows her to do this bullshit and even considered a hysterectomy (what's with that, Kelly?) before just putting her under a week of one on one in the psych ward where she belongs. For her own sake, I hope her doctors find this - there's no cows to tip anymore here and I strongly believe her medics should be informed of what she's doing before they maim her unnecessarily. I don't want any other doctors to have that on their conscience or professoinal indemnity insurance.

In her fb there is an an album called "the way it's been" this nut already lived in a psych institution, it's called Hillside in kamloops B.C. I looked it up and it is for the worst of the worst. Wow Kelly. She documents it quite well. Interesting to check out for sure.

She claims it was close to 2 years in psych. I'm mind blown. How have we missed so much?
No. 353558
>>353547Honestly, given the Munchhausens suspicion, they might just be concerned that if they start treating her as the mental case she is, she will just go to another hospital. At least here they have some degree of oversight over what she's up to and can track her. The biggest problem with Munchies is how they can 'get lost' to the system.
Medfagpowerlevel: the hospital I worked at had a frequent flyer who had hypoglycaemic seizures despite there really being no good reason for that (female, middle aged, normal weight, not diabetic, etc.). Eventually it turned out that she stole some of her elderly mother's insulin and injected herself to induce hypoglycaemia and seizures. Some of these were fairly serious, to the point of her needing fairly involved neurological rehabilitation at a national specialist centre (pretty expensive and hard to get).
Eventually a nurse found insulin and insulin syringes in her bag, together with some sux that she managed to steal from a crash cart (fuck only knows how). Her doctor, plus one of the SpRs and the consultant in charge of the unit as well as a psych SpR visited her in her room and told her that she was faking and they were visibly mad with her (a justified, but still highly contraindicated, reaction to discovering factitious illness). They offered her a psych stay. She discharged herself against medical advice and was lost to our radar. A year later, she was found dead of an insulin OD. She kept doing her stunts in different areas and at one point, she overdosed - intentionally or accidentally, nobody knew. What we did know is that perhaps if the news had been broken to her more gently and less accusatorily (or even not broken to her at all, see below), she might have lived.
A great comment on this from Jeffrey Keller MD, who runs a pretty popular blog on correctional medicine, might explain the hospital's approach (in the context of nonepileptic seizures aka pseudoseizures, but the points apply overall!):
> There are three problems with these patients who are, admittedly, faking their symptoms. The first problem is that the suspicion that a patient is faking their seizure invariably engenders lots of negative emotions like anger, frustration and contempt. These can not only ruin what might otherwise have been a fine day, but more importantly, they can (and do!) get in the way of good medical practice. If you are feeling angry and contemptuous towards your patient, you are unlikely to provide very stellar care for them.>> The second problem with “fakers” is that most of the time, you simply cannot know for sure whether this particular patient really is faking or not. As we have seen, psychogenic non-epileptic seizures are not fake—no more so than a panic attack or a headache. Responding to PNDS as “fakers” will be as effective as telling the woman with the panic attack to “stop faking.” It will be ineffective and counterproductive.>> The last problem with those truly faking their seizures is this: even if you are right and the patient truly is malingering, accusing them of faking will not usually make them stop. To the contrary, malingerers who are accused of faking tend to redouble their efforts to convince you that these are real!>> Fortunately, there is one very good solution to these problems and that is to not care whether the seizure/pseudoseizure is faked or not! In the long run, whether the patient is faking or not is irrelevant. Give up the judgmental attitude. You’ll feel better and, more importantly, you will practice better medicine.
> And keep this in mind: The single worst thing that you can do as a medical provider is to assume that a patient is faking—and be wrong. If you have done this and the patient ends up having a bad outcome, you are toast. Do not take this risk with something as hard to sort out as seizures/pseudoseizures.
> Instead, remember what your overall medical goal is in these cases:
> You want the seizure-like activity to stop. You want the patient to stop having them in the future.
> Whether these are true epileptic seizures or PNES or malingering, it doesn’t matter. You want them to stop happening. And the first key to achieving this goal is to give up the labels (“Faker!”) and give up the emotion (“Jerk!”). These attitudes get in the way of achieving your goal—having the seizure-like episodes stop.Sage for lots of medfagging.

>>353564I am pretty damn sure she is not bleeding a unit a week (a pint of blood or so, assuming unit sizes are the same in Canaduh) from her uterus without someone noticing. That's 70ml or two shots of blood a day. It's not something she wouldn't notice.
It's quite telling that her hematocrit is so incredibly low. It's almost as if she were in isovolaemic anaemia, which we see a lot in people who lost a lot of blood but did not get a transfusion (we do not routinely transfuse above a Hgb of 9).

I would not be shocked if she started to escalate some other condition, such as her fake MS (the MRI is very inconclusive… spots suggestive of demyelination happen in healthy people too!).
I worry for her. Please Kelly if you read this, please please please come clean with your docs. You are young. You can have a long and happy life with Chompy and the rest.

Last year when she had urinary retention she left the hospital because they didn't believe all her issues, and she was taught to self-cath and was catheterizing herself at home. Then just recently she had urinary retention again, and made a big deal about having to have a home nurse teach her how to self cath. Again. When she had been taught and was doing it successfully. She seemed gleefully happy about having to go through the humiliating teaching process. When she had already been taught and done it. And NO ONE called her on it. Either her followers don't pay attention, or nobody stays with her long enough to catch her repetitive issues.

This makes me think that she hasn't actually gone to the cops, and that this is yet another one of her ploys for sympathy that is ultimately going to backfire once her supporters realize that she's doing it all herself. She also wrote on her Facebook, in response to someone asking whether or not the site was taken down, "With suicide there is 0 tolerance". There were no mentions of suicide, though, except for a very inappropriate dig at Kadee Konstantino, who accidentally overdosed and did not actually commit suicide.

Since Kelly is advertising this site to her supporters on Facebook, take a good look at the way confirmed-Kelly posts have spelled the words "munchausen" as "munchhausen" and "munchie" as "munchy".
Note that one of those posts, as well as this (>>353642) post from Kelowna in her similar typing style, mention having been here for quite some time.
I don't know about you, but to me it looks like Kelly's been cyberbullying other people and pretending that she's being cyberbullied. I hope it isn't true, but the evidence is pretty compelling. Of course, that'll probably be up to the police to decide.
It's funny that one of the posts from her area (
>>353184 ) also mentions that she's been bullshitting the police. If they trace this back to her phone or computer (which the police can absolutely do if admin gives them the IP address that these were posted with), not only will they probably charge her for cyberbullying, but they'll also charge her for filing a false report- maybe even two. And if she's defrauded charities or the church? She's got fraud charges on top of that.
I'm sure the cops will also be aware that before she was Kelly Ronahan, she went by Kelly Petrovich, which is also public domain since that name is linked to her current Facebook account, as well as mentioned as image credit in this news article:
https://www.kelownanow.com/watercooler/news/news/Central_Okanagan/15/12/21/Kelowna_Woman_Thanks_Those_Who_Donated_for_Her_55_Blood_Transfusions/Of course, this is just speculation, and I'm sure her followers and the cops will be able to deduce the truth.

>>354076It reminds me of the way the 16-22 crowd, when told they are talking out of their ass and to do a little research before saying things that make them look stupid, will give the excuse that they are just too darn busy with their advanced/AP courses to bother researching [issue they felt they had to give their two cents on]. It feels like a variation on people who lose their temper because they aren't very good at video games, then rage out about how the person who beat them obviously has no life and must spend all of their time on games. It's childish and never not funny.
Sorry, sage for irrelevant.
No. 354095
Kelly Ronahan-Petrovich's friends have stopped responding to her posts, most likely because they've actually started to realize her game.
Attention to a person with histronic personality disorder is like a drug, and she most definitely shows traits of HPD. As she builds tolerance to attention, she's going to need more and more to get the same high that a little bit of attention used to give her. There's not enough attention in the world for a person who behaves the way she's demonstrated on these forums.
I hope Kelly's friends continue to support her as a person, but in light of what she does, take everything she says with a grain of salt. Kelly does need love, support and attention still. She's still human, and she's already demonstrated the lengths she'll go to get the attention she wants. She is highly manipulative, but she still deserves to be treated with compassion.
You can't diagnose a personality disorder over the Internet, but her friends and family might want to keep the following information in mind-
>In many cases, people with histrionic personality disorder have good social skills; however, they tend to use these skills to manipulate others so that they can be the center of attention.
>A person with this disorder might also:
>Be uncomfortable unless he or she is the center of attention
>Dress provocatively and/or exhibit inappropriately seductive or flirtatious behavior
(Note: Kelly is part of one of the more conservative Christian communities in the Okanagan, and does not behave like this as far as I've seen, but a person does not need to show every trait to have a diagnosable personality disorder.)
>Shift emotions rapidly
>Act very dramatically, as though performing before an audience, with exaggerated emotions and expressions, yet appears to lack sincerity
>Be overly concerned with physical appearance
>Constantly seek reassurance or approval
>Be gullible and easily influenced by others
>Be excessively sensitive to criticism or disapproval
>Have a low tolerance for frustration and be easily bored by routine, often beginning projects without finishing them or skipping from one event to another
>Not think before acting
>Make rash decisions
>Be self-centered and rarely show concern for others
>Have difficulty maintaining relationships, often seeming fake or shallow in their dealings with others
>Threaten or attempt suicide to get attention
Again, I am not attempting to diagnose Kelly with anything, but she definitely has Cluster B Personality traits and I highly recommend her friends and family who are reading this do a bit of research and learn what that means and how they can help her to live a comfortable and productive life.

I highly doubt she's deduced which individual is actually close to her in real life, but I think she suspects a particular person and is going to try to do something to her next time she sees her.

He's always introduced through his wife's "tragic" backstory– she has EDS that she miraculously cured through organic all natural woo! Within months she was able to start physical training and recover!
Needless to say that didn't go over well with a lot of people, who realize it's not possible to go from wheelchair to obstacle courses with EDS, and she got a lot of backlash from the supposed miracle.

The Stanger woman veers sharply into MBP when she starts yodelling about her two (extremely young) daughters starting to develop EDS.
This woman is legit certifiable. Little kids are insanely flexible, for the specific reason they are still growing. "Showing signs" of EDS through the classic criteria like loose skin and whatever is extremely dubious.
It's no wonder child protective services got called on her ass. Of course, it doesn't help that she fled the state to avoid consequences.

EDS can de fatal if you have cardiovascular involvement. It is not terminal, even with vEDS some people live a full life. You can simply not die from joint hypermobility alone.
Her type aEDS does not include cardiovascular involvement - mostly just severe hypermobility.
Also, just the fact that aEDS/type 7 is a red flag. This type is easily identified with genetic testing.

>>355123Interesting. If her bio did say that, then something is up. Kelly's had a bone marrow biopsy, and blood matures in the marrow. It would have been caught there - a mutation in the genetic coding or something. Also, blood cells don't just "not hold iron". That's not how blood cells work, and Kelly and her little army should know that. Kelly talks about her hemoglobin being low. Even if hers were completely depleted (impossible, she'd be dead, she knows this because she is always posting her hemoglobin count), iron is still retained in muscle cells called myoglobin. She's claiming she has iron deficient anemia then, but that makes no sense according to how she amps up the "sooper rare and speshul mystery blood disorder"? I'm so confused. Any medfags able to explain blood more? I only know the basics but in my opinion something seems off.
No. 355189
>>355136Kinda sounds like she is trying to make it appear as if she has something like Sideroblastic anaemia. Where basically the body produces Sideroblasts (which are the precursors to mature RBC's) rather than healthy RBC's and even though the body has enough iron, it cannot incorporate the iron into haemoglobin, resulting in anaemia.
The iron accumulates in the RBC's mitochondria forming "ringed Sideroblasts".
This is usually diagnosed by examining the cells from a bone marrow aspiration, can be hereditary or acquired (caused by diet, drugs, heavy metals etc.)
So yeah this is something that was likely ruled out by her bone marrow biopsy.

C'mon it doesn't add up at all
No. 355437
>>345089Caveat: medfag but not immunologist, rheumy or hemato, though I did a hematology rotation.
One, I have never heard of fibroids causing anemia. If so, what's the mechanism here - fibroids causing antibodies to RBCs or fibroids interfering with the bone marrow? If it's the first, why does she not have the classic signs of hemolytic anemia? If it's the second, why was that not evident on the BM aspirate smear?
Two, assuming that this is indeed what's happening: why did IVIG not help? Why did doctors go straight to 'ok, let's cut out her lady bits' instead of, say, plasmapheresis, which works pretty well in filtering out antibodies? Have the antibodies even been identified? The whole thing just doesn't resemble any medicine I have ever seen practiced: lots of stumbling in the dark and plenty of miraculous revelations, plenty of drama and a shedload of mystery. What hospital would keep a mystery patient and not get a second opinion or refer to a national haematology referral hospital? The whole thing sounds like either she was the victim of very bad medicine or, more likely, like a caricature of medicine. One classic trait of Munchies is that you see caricatures of illnesses, but not the real thing - they imitate the illness as superficially as they understand it. Lacking a medical background, Kelly seems to have stitched together this mystery condition from bits of aplastic anemia, acute myeloid leukemia and hemolytic autoimmune anemia. And like Frankenstein's monster was a bizarre caricature of a human, it looks like a bizarre caricature of a real illness.

Because I'll tell you what, when I was anemic due to my autoimmune disorder, I didn't even have the energy to get on the internet, let alone ruthlessly pursue people who disagreed with me. Which just about anyone with an illness that causes profound fatigue and lack of energy will experience.
Not Kelly's incongruous fountain of energy she's managed to tap into, in spite of her extreme lack of blood.
Kelly, you don't seem to understand: there is nothing criminal happening here. Talking shit on the internet isn't a crime. This isn't discrimination or hate speech against a group. It's not even bullying, because you've gone out of your way to find it, and no one is pursuing you on your social media.
Go to therapy. Get some medication. Take a nap. Something other than fruitlessly hound an anonymous board.

i don't think this one's a munchie, but she's certainly an OTT Spoonie.

recently got a private MR by some dodgy-sounding private clinic. needs super-specialist care for her gamut of illnesses, yet chose to move to the most remote part of England
most sickeningly, refers to her wife as "Mrs Wifey" puke

>>355526Is she referring to her
actual wife as Mrs. Wifey, and not like, her favourite cat? What does her wife call her?

>>355528definitely her actual wife. they have a YT channel i've never been able to bring myself to watch.
she tried to get asspats a couple of years ago by posting all about her experiences in hospital, during the UK doctors strikes. how tough her life is, how junior docs queue up to see her in hospital because she's So Rare You Guise
No. 355553
>>355543Ok, that's bullshit.
I trained in the UK, first at a hospital that rhymes with the name of a famous spoonie cosplaying genderfluid lolcow not in this thread, then at a university hospital somewhere in the North of England. This was about five years ago. Even then, junior doctors were told to stop zooing, our senior consultant's term for looking in at a 'rare' patient just because we are curious. Short of a consultant asking the patient and then perhaps inviting a few relatively senior non-consultant level doctors (hardly ever below SpR level), flocking around a 'rare' patient only happens at rounds… but then everybody flocks around every patient, so what's the big deal?
Bottom line, she is talking out of her ass, and/or watched too many Yank medical dramas.

Sadly, loads of people around here call their partners "hubbie" and "wifey" and similar puketastic names.

I came here because I followed Kelly (also to see the train wreck of her ~mysterious~ blood disorder) and decided to just drop in a cow I know as well.
Her story is that her apartment had black mold in it which triggered severe asthma in her, to which she goes into the hospital a few times a week because she feels like she needs breathing treatments. Not for asthma attacks.
As far as I know she hasn't had a pft done and if she has it came out normal, and she has posted scans of her lungs which are also normal.
She recently posted about wanting xanax for her asthma because she's on celexa for it and now I'm just sure she's on these for panic attacks.

>>355578How the fuck do you "forget" about a heart monitor. Those things are as uncomfortable as fuck. I ported one around for 24 hours, and there was not a movement I could make that didn't jerk those fuckers around on my chest and stomach.
Also haaaah. She's rotund enough that they can't find the appropriate anatomical landmarks– either they couldn't find her collarbones, or she slapped them on herself.

Um, what about albuterol? Beclometasone? steroids??
Sounds like a drug seeker if she's going for Xanax.

That's a red flag for attention seeking/munchie behavior, unless she's SO breathless she can't even walk, but then she'd also be using supplementary O2.

>>355349Ok so my mum had anemia and after a few tests they found the fibroids. All together it took like max two months to discover the issue. She was then told to stop drinking tea and they put her on a birth control that contained iron supplements in it. The birth control unfortunately didnt shrink the fibroids like they expected so she was scheduled for D&C with ablation. Basically they took out the fibroids and burned the lining of her uterus. No hysterectomy needed! They continued iron supplements until her iron levels came back up. She hasnt had a problem since. So im actually really confused why the med is so expensive? And why a hysterectomy is needed? Im kind of concerned for her that her supposedly her doctors want to mame her with a surgery when it isnt needed… surgery no matter what is dangerous first off but two hysterectomys can have long lists of complications.
