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.

Thanks OP!

I covered her name, but I follow one young person with EDS (and more?) - IDK how old she is which is why I have covered her name. Anyway, she seems to be starting to copy some of the more prolific cows in her behaviour and it makes me sad that they're making their extremes seem normal to impressionable people.

No decent doctor would prescribe that to anyone with GP. Also, that kind of pain killers daily will ruin your life way more than dealing with eds pain, which can be managed fairly decently with less intense pain killers and physical therapy, and saving the hardcore shit for emergencies. Especially if it took ten years to doctor-shop enough to be diagnosed (pretty suspicious if you ask me), you’re not as sick as you claim, if you are at all.

She says fainting will lead to her “eventually probably sustaining life-threatening brain injury” and that’s how she justifies her (lack of) EDS as a terminal condition, along with GP causing her to “starve to death,” except for all of those tacos she eats. Absolutely incredible.

The dog literally just wants attention and to get that stupid head collar off, he's not even paying attention to her while she's "passed out". This girl infuriates me to no end. We see the same dysautonomia specialist and the thought of that makes me sick. This woman is a con-artist and doesn't even do a good job of faking. Let's not forget to mention that in the state of Alabama, you cannot drive within 6 months of loss of consciousness. Yet she still drives herself endangering everyone on the road with her sooper magical POTS. So either she doesn't pass out or she's putting everyone on the road at risk. Either way, she's a leech like the rest of the OTT Spoonies/Munchies.

>>My dog is telling me I need to sit down. I'm going to ignore it until my symptoms get worse so I need to lie down in the middle of the store.

Yeah, that makes sense. But only if your goal is to get attention. They had a wheelchair in the store and a bench, but just sitting down on either of them just doesn't scream "I am sick and helpless" the way lying on the floor with your dog on top of you does.

I know that when you are sick, sometimes you just need to do things and not care about what people might think as much. Honestly, I do. But why is it we see so many people lie or sit down in a store? Wouldn't you try to avoid things like that, by e.g. using a wheelchair, taking breaks sitting on a bench or a on a low wall, or going back to the car right after you detect the first signs that you might be going to pass out? If apparently service dogs can give their owner a warning 15 minutes in advance, you would think that would just about eliminate the 'need' to lie or sit in such inappropriate places.

No. 424538

>>424519
Also if she's "passing out" from POTS she doesn't need a service dog. She would feel her heartrate go up. And very rarely would her HR start to rise like that, when you've stood up for long already.
And ofc if it was POTS she wouldn't faint AFTER lying down

Yeah the whole POTS "alert" is nonsense. If you can't feel that you're about to pass out then maybe you don't have POTS. Jaquie and a bunch of other people claim the whole syncope alert bullshit. I just find it had to believe that the rare skill of natural alert just so happens to magically appear in all of these random dogs. It's too rare of an ability for there to be this many "syncope alert" dogs nowadays everywhere you look.

I'd like to add though (without wking) that POTS patients CAN benefit from a service dog. I've seen dogs retrieve items, do a pulling type thing, and lay on the person's legs to help blood flow return. But this dog does nothing to mitigate her disability, except maybe comfort, and comfort doesn't count as a legal service dog task if I remember correctly.

The pulse sensor kills me. I'm surprised we don't see more people choking on their coffee in this photo.

Question for those who are on tube feeds: Can you compare a day of feeding tube formula to a day of grocery-store food for me? I spend about $75 a week on food for one person. I looked at KF, because let's face it, any other formula just won't do, and it says $97/month for 12, but that doesn't seem like enough for a month. But again, I have to eat the old-fashioned way with a fork.

I'm trying to understand whether a person who has a job with living wage that allows ends to meet + occasional tacos, can afford formula without having to cut out necessities such as tacos?

I mean, I consider food to be life-sustaining, too, but I have never sent my grocery receipt to my medical insurance. Maybe I should…without my cereal and tacos and diet coke, I guess I would eventually die.

That depends on the type of tube feeding you’re doing and why you’re doing it. For j tube feeding for GP, I have to use formula, just because it’s broken down chemically more than food is. But for lots of people, they are able to blend foods, especially if you’re doing g tube feeds (and blending food is actually better for you! Unfortunately it’s just not always an option).

However: I understand that the cost of formula is wrapped up in the cost of overall healthcare, including caring for the tube and treating the illnesses that led to needing a tube in the first place.

But, I find it hard to watch people fight for coverage of legitimate healthcare needs and then see this girl with her pulse oximeter. I kind of want to order one to see if my heart rate increases when I read these posts.

If I were a senator, I would not be convinced by her. She is capable of getting herself to DC so she is capable of scraping together enough $$ to pay for her formula. And, she can scrape together the $$ for a medical marijuana consult (and to pay for that out of pocket), so I would think she could scrape together the wits to figure out how to maintain her tube. Obamacare is not in good hands with her.

Routine Chiari surgery is spinal fusion based, has a great evidence basis and is performed at a number of NHS hospitals, the waiting list is relatively bearable and definitely not a chance in hell that someone with even moderately severe neurological symptoms would not be shoved in early enough. Of course, if she wants some speshul woo in America that she can then visit Mickey afterwards, that's ok… on her own dime.

I'm also dubious as to the dude behind her using a nebulizer, which some people might mistake for an oxygen mask. I don't know if there was a concerted effort by these 'activists' to look as sick as possible or whether they're just pathetic, but I think this wins the crown, previously held by the Sarepta FDA duchenne kids roadshow, of the most cynical healthcare related PR assholery of the year.

I know of a much younger girl (I think only 17?) who went from the UK to have this surgery in Barcelona earlier in the year.
I don't know enough about it to know why the NHS aren't funding it. Though the NHS only funds evidence based care so it could be that not enough people have had the surgery successfully for them to fund it.
Or is could be that she doesn't REALLY need it.

Because she shot herself in the foot with that one. Its easy to pick some random diagnoses and put them in your bio. It is harder to understand how one might affect another.
She got called out here (and in comments on her IG) asking how she could have easily gotten a PICC with her supposed blood disorder (that she obviously doesn't have). She is then left with either two options - remove it from her profile but raise even more suspicion about her claiming illnesses she doesn't have. Or do a little more research and go full out pretending that she does have it. Either way its super shady. After all why would a blood disorder you don't know much about because you "were diagnosed a very long time ago" be so important you have to list it in your bio. If it really had a big impact on you then you would know more about how it works. If it was just something that was briefly mentioned after a blood test years ago, it doesn't belong in your bio. She probably had at least one ear infection as a child - surprised she doesn't list otitis media in her bio.

No. 426195

>>426182

I saw that video mentioned when Autumn had her own thread. I did actually just skim through the video. The person next to her does say they have it in the introduction and Autumn just mentions her genetically confirmed chronic illnesses. However when she starts talking for the first round she claims to have VWD similar to whoever was sitting next to her (and before that person took their turn to go into more detail). She then proceeds to say they ran some tests to make sure she wouldn't bleed out but that the surgery has lots of complications due to her other undiagnosed at the time chronic illness, EDS. Of course she claims that she "must have had it all her life because it was genetic but it only got bad in the last year" (which doesn't really mesh with her timeline since the surgery seems to have been 2 years prior). She goes on to blame the doctor for not knowing she had a condition that apparently she didn't know she had either. I thought the geneticist told her she didn't have EDS (but I could have my munchies confused).
While it is possible that she was connected to the other person on the panel because they had found each other while researching information about gender-confirming surgery with VWD, it still seems likely that Autumn's version is a bunch of baloney. The other person goes into more detail about how having VWD impacted the whole surgery process while Autumn is more like "I had a blood test to make sure I wouldn't bleed out".
I didn't watch the whole video because it was super dull - looked like the panel was poorly attended too (but I did get amused that they seemed to anticipate that there would be a sudden flood of people filling up the space). The individual who actually has VWD provided some useful information but the rest seemed to be a lot of whining about how the surgeons are terrible because they were uncomfortable performing gender confirming surgery on individual with chronic illness (um you can't blame a surgeon for being worried about performing a surgery on someone with a illness outside of their specialty and Autumn was blaming the surgeon for not knowing she had a disorder - that she doesn't actually have - that apparently Autumn didn't even know she had at the time.)

If you have a serious bleeding disorder, you would for sure know the name of it, because you would be having to write it down all the time, especially on the forms she’s definitely filling out at all her doctor-shopping appointments. And they wouldn’t have put in a picc line, because those can bleed, and that’s in people without bleeding disorders. I wonder if she had low platelets at some point, (which is not uncommon but does affect your bleeding since platelets are responsible for clotting) but she took that and turned it into an illness.

Ports are considered the safer central line.. lower risk which is why it's common. (Also why the majority of cancer patients have ports not hickmans)

But you would think the munchies would much prefer the other central lines..

Starting with the safest
Midline (not really a central line. More like a mix of a big IV and central line)
PICC
Port
Hickman
Roughly anyway

With a Hickman there is basically a continuous small tube and exist out of the skin with the same tube and Hickman are long. Some will curl it up like they do with babies, other tape it to shirts, it's long enough for these cows to really enjoy milking it for all they can and not have to get stabbed all the time!
A port is completely under the skin unless it is accessed. But even then it's not as noticeable as the other lines.

I hope the reason is the drs have suspensions on said patient and goes for the port for all those (and more) reasons above.

Chiarifag here.
Chiari and Spinal fusions can be done by any neurosurgeon anywhere.
Chiari can be congenital in Down Syndrome.
Chiari is acquired with eds and the surgery poses bigger risks with eds patients.
No neurosurgeons in Uk right now are operating on eds patients with chiari and cranio cervical instability.
There are surgeons in the States and in Spain who have been operating on eds patients with Chiari and cci.
It seems like the new munchie flavour of the month though.
They are all buying neck braces without ever being diagnosed with chiari or cervical instability.
Only 2% of eds patients have chiari. But looking at the munchies it's more like 92%.
They all want it now it's so suuuper serious.
I don't think anyone would voluntarily go through that surgery without needing it though , even a munchie.

That is correct. NONE of her diagnoses have been confirmed by a doctor. Autumn is an out and out liar. Her Geneticist straight out told her she DOES NOT have EDS, but said and I quote “I’m taking that as a diagnosis of EDS” , she says she’s menopausal, however she’s biologically a MALE who had her balls chopped off electively, so any issues there is his own fault. The VonWillibran is constantly changing, first she was diagnosed when she was very little and doesn’t remember what type she has (which would be bullshit if you truly had it, it needs to be managed), the claimed to be diagnosed at 15, which was only 4 years ago as she’s only 19 years old, so it’s not something she wouldn’t remember. As for POTS , She’s never had Autonomic testing, no tilt table , no nothing, just found some bullshit doctor to prescribe what she wants, and then she keeps claiming random mental health diagnoses too, which keep changing… from BPD to Schizophrenia etc. it’s all made up!!!!

That’s only a mildly low BP (depending where the person’s normal baseline is), and the resting HR is spot on for someone who isn’t active.

I think these munchies forget what their illnesses actually are. One, POTS is orthostatic tachycardia – beats of 100bpm or more upon standing (which she is not doing). The only way 81 would be POTS is if her resting heart rate were 51bpm or lower, which would mean a) she was super active (like an athlete) or b) she was having issues with bradycardia all the time which she would obviously mention. Two, POTS typically does not come with low blood pressure like these munchies claim; it’s usually a separate issue or just incidental low blood pressure caused by other conditions, medications, etc. Even the diagnostic criteria of POTS states that the orthostatic (standing) tachycardia is in absence of orthostic (standing, again) hypotension. I only mention standing so much because guess what she is not doing in that picture?! Three, if she hasn’t left her room in a week, her body’s current baseline for BP is probably pretty low because her heart hasn’t had to pump much blood if she’s been laying down…

Good heavens, the dumb is so bad with these people…

Wtf who diagnoses these people with pots. It has nothing to do with low blood pressure. That's orthostatic hypotension. They have nothing near tachycardia. The blood pressure readings don't seem like anything that would bring on syncope. In fact are they even diagnosed with some form of syncope or do they just think that's all pots aswell.

The indication for the CVC also comes into the differential. If a patient needs access every day, a Hickman may be preferred over a port. For cancer patients, labs and chemo are sometimes weeks apart and being able to deaccess in between is advantageous.
These IG fucktards who have ports but remain accessed all the time are ridiculous. Port placement is a more damaging procedure and comes with more complex mechanics and complication risks than Hickmans. I do wonder if ports are chosen because of lower munchie risk. It takes some skill to access a port; a Hickman line is easier to fuck with. So, pro's and cons…but yeah when I see these spoonfags with ports accessed daily, I have to ask wtf. If a port is continually accessed, the infection risk is basically the same but resolving it is a bigger pain in the ass because of the potential for device pocket involvement.

I only mentioned how 81bpm could be POTS, and that you can have POTS without hitting “true tachycardia” if you jump 30+bpm (but your resting would have to be 50ish for 81bpm and stay there for a little to warrant a dx).

I've been reading about some of the most famous Munchausen's and MBP cases, and it scares me to think of the paths some of these spoonies may go down. Anyone familiar with the story of Beverley Allitt? She was a serial killer and nurse in Britain in the early 1990s, mainly targeting very young children. Her personal history is terrifyingly close to what these cows are like, minus the internet, obviously. If any of them end up having kids of their own then those kids will genuinely be at risk of MBP, which can be fatal. I know "think of the children!" is a cliché but, fuck, I'm chilled by this. The Mumchausen behaviour is scarily the same between people who kill their own kids, people who go on to become "angels of death" and large scale scam artists like Belle Gibson (who let's not forget, at minimum hastened people's deaths).

The ones who at least have other interests like fashion or whatever aren't so scary IMO, but those who are completely laser focused on their health like Jaquie and Kelly, Autumn, Chloe Leanne and Chloe Print Lambert, Chronically.ams, Paige, Carmel… their munchieness might be a risk to people around them as well, especially in future when they can't use their own image as a young woman to e-beg effectively any more.

What a wonderful meal for GP!!

Also, there is literally no way she could get tested, get results, and be diagnosed with all those things in less than a month. Autonomic testing alone takes a while, because it has to be ordered, pre-authorized by insurance, scheduled (and very rarely do you get an appointment quickly, since it’s not an emergencyj, then the doctor has to get the results, and you have to make an appointment with the doctor.

Essentially, yeah. It’s not like they’re going to die if they get one L a week instead of 2L a day. If they have tubes, they can put water and crushed NaCl supps (or electrolyte drinks) down the tube to prevent dehydration.

I mean unless their hospitals are useless and don’t know how to switch suppliers, my best guess is that the docs are using this excuse to stop using saline in these people who don’t need it.

The salt water will never be an issue, but the bags need to be produced since ideally they are only used once in a sterile environment, which can cause shortages on occasion. But no, just no.

No. 426911

I would guess it’s because it can be comorbid with dysautonomia, which does have a definite connection to hEDS. But it’s not as common as munchies and spoonies make it seem. And it’s not something that develops overnight in adults like so many of them claim. Most people with eds and GP have had gp symptoms a good amount of their lives.

Because after awhile saline infusions stop being effective anyway. The more you run them with POTS, the less effective they become.

And only a small percentage of POTS patients have consistent low blood volume.

You would think the prevalence of dysautonomic Gp in EDS would be higher than it has appeared in studies, then, since most types of EDS are also comorbid with dysautonomia of some sort. Regardless, these munchies don’t know what they’re talking about and it’s just a shit show.

Autumn is trying to pull a Jaquie and claim that she can't wear compression garments because they caused "hot flashes".
Yes if you go back looking a her photos from August she is out in jeans and covered in braces she bought (for conditions she doesn't have and while on her way to buy more braces). All that neoprene is bound to make the average person hit in the summer. If you can tolerate the drug store braces and jeans in summer you should be able to tolerate some compression garments (I wear compression socks for running and they make "ultralight" ones - I know nothing about using them for medical purposes but I would assume they are better than nothing.)
She also wears a beanie a lot - even indoors so I am not buying this I get too hot business (not that I believe anything she says - how does she know that the "hot flashes" are from the compression socks and not from her imaginary menopause)

Well, EDS is easier to fake, especially hEDS, since women tend to be more flexible anyways. Plus, ra and lupus and lots of other things have specific blood tests that can be run, so it’s easy to weed out the fakers. Plus, the circlejerking eds society makes a huge deal about being proud of being a special zebra snowflake, which pulls in munchies who maybe would have gone for something else.

This is “kEDS” girl. Don’t you think if she was actually “bad enough” that she needs to run to urgent care all the time and that her PA would get upset that she didn’t come in sooner for fluids that they would set her with scheduled fluids on a certain time frame so she wasn’t wasting the time of UTC staff? I mean, if infusions are actually doing that much good for you, and you’re having to get them frequently, it seems like it would be in the best interest of doctors, nurses, and patient to schedule them. Little wait time for patient, doctors/nurses who know it’s scheduled and can set it up, etc etc?

I think this girl has been mentioned once or twice before. Not sure if she’s full munchie but she’s very much OTT if she’s not. She just recently got a port for saline infusions only and named it. Claims that she hasn’t had any luck with meds over 5 years, but saline over the past month had been a miracle drug and they quickly decided to put in a port (this seems super quick, since you would thing doctors would make sure that the effects of saline treatments don’t stop working a few months in before going through with a risky surgery). Not surprising that the never mentioned that compression stockings and graded exercise therapy didn’t work for her. She’s also considering vlogging about EDS but constantly talks about how she’s too tired to do much of anything. Shoot me.

At least she says she doesn’t want a service dog right now…

Autumn has the half-trained service dog.

Autumn mentions in an Insta post about taking Percy to Lowes and how well the dog walked by her side the entire time (only pooped on the floor once).

While service dogs are allowed everywhere, are SDITs also allowed? I think stores need to make that clear for both handlers and customers who think dogs in the store are well-trained SDs.

RANT - please ignore if you want - I cannot tell you how much more closely I pay attention to the distance between dog and my kid after reading this forum. I used to totally ignore them because I thought they all were excellently trained.

Now, I worry my child will startle one of these dogs (won't happen because I move my kid into a controlled space like the cart, hold hand, etc.), but I wouldn't have done that before this forum. I would have assumed I could just redirect errant child and apologize to handler if it happened, but excellently trained dog would not be scared or startled.

Ever notice how people who say things like that about themselves or their relationship with others usually say exactly the opposite of the truth? People who say "I know I often ignore my symptoms too often and I should listen to my body more" are often the biggest whimps out there. People who say they do say 'yes' to others too easily and should take care of themselves more are often the most egotistical people you've ever met, while people who actually think of themselves of egotistical are often the people who should say 'no' more often and who should learn not only to care for others, but also for themselves.

Of course this isn't always true, but it is something I often notice. So I wonder if people who say "my doctor will tell me I should've came earlier" are actually those people whos doctors are thinking of making up an emergency on the spot if they see their name on the calender.

Yes she is angling for a lightweight wheelchair. She has another picture in that exact wheelchair further down in her IG (where she uses lots of Lyme hastags) although I would think that if she owned it we would see it more. She sat in that blue wheelchair during the panel she was on about disability (but got in and out of it with no problem - she could have sat in a normal chair for the panel but that wouldn't make her special enough). She also seems to have bought herself a variety of braces, canes, and forearm crutches in the past. Someone must be funding her (since she could only last 1 shift working) so she can buy these toys.

A little more digging reveals that the wheelchair is hers. She also seems to have a rollator, cane, forearm crutches, "a fancy leg brace" that she wants to deck out with lights because it is so "cool", multiple heart rate monitors.
And they seem to be going to shelters to try to find a dog that would be a "good fit" for her needs. I could be wrong but I would guess that traditional service animals aren't found at a shelter (esa yes but not a true service dog).

These add up to so much $$$

Smart crutches are £100 in the UK

A leg brace has to be several hundred $, same with the chair even if it is second hand. The another £200 for machines, neoprene supports etc!

Also why would you see an orthopaedic surgeon if you weren't in need of a surger evaluation?
In the UK we see primary doctor (GP), then Physio/ maybe a hospital doctor (consultant/ registrar) then only if they requested scans and x-rays and they came back with problems not fixable via PT would we see a surgeon. So it would be really weird in the UK to get a surgeon prescribing anything! We also would view PT or braces as a 'prescription' either.

I'm not sure how much this is a difference in our medical systems and language and how much is Autumn bullshit!

No. 427962

>>427957

I am sure all her toys add up since she sees to buy most of them on her own and not through insurance - the exception seeming to be the leg brace.

It very well could be that she saw an orthopedist who sees patients in an office and also may perform surgery a couple of times a week - and she is just emphasizing the surgeon part to see more dramatic.

In the US, you need a doctor to prescribe PT if you want it to be covered by insurance. I think the average person might say they got a referral for PT but it is technically a prescription/doctor's order. It seems she went to an outside clinic for PT so it is possible that her doctor actually wrote a physical prescription down.

Is that compatible with crutches that would put so much directional force on the shoulders? I get that they're forearm crutches but it still requires huge shoulder strength regardless.

It does seem like the weird tape was placed by whatever PT she was seeing - which seems really odd because every PT I have worked with (professionally) has access to KT tape (they sell it everywhere for the average person too these days). And for someone who claims to have the world's most unstable joints and spines and no muscles she seems to get around fairly well.
I don't know about shoulder instability (and don't care to learn) but I assume that someone with the issues she claims would not be able to suspend themselves in the air like she is in the picture - that is a pose of someone playing with the crutches not of someone who needs them for what she claims she does (and I am aware that there are many forearm crutch users who can do that - but they aren't claiming the same issues Autumn is so please no stories on why you can do flips with your crutches)

The only time I've seen that tape used is to help with posture and how you hold your body. It's extremely strong and not stretchy like KT tape, and is placed to train the person's muscles and brain to hold themselves in that way, basically. It doesn't allow you to move in many other ways, so you can't go back to slouching without realizing it. They may be taping her shoulders back so she doesn't have her shoulders in a bad position as she (may) normally do.

I seem to be learning from the Jaquie show that a wheelchair eval is more like a sales pitch: Here's all the things…what do you need (i.e., want)? Now of these things, let's see what insurance will approve.

My question…could anyone call up for an eval or does a physician have to write a script for the eval itself?

To me, it seems like anyone could get an eval and you only need the script if you want insurance to pay?

Found Autumn's personal IG (izeki3l). Nothing about her super speshful illness (and nothing since January- probably around the same time she joined the 'spoon community' and started her 'journey.'

I could be wrong but I think anyone can request an evaluation. And I am sure the company will be more than happy to show you all the fancy extra features.
If you want the chair including all the bells and whistles then you will need a medical professional to write a script for it - and likely will need them to justify why you need each custom feature.
There are plenty of people who get custom chairs outside of insurance (I know of several kids with spins bifida whose family decided not to go through insurance to get their wheelchair because insurance takes so long and they wanted custom features to allow the child to participate in wheelchair sports).

Autumn will have to get a doctor to sign off on the chair if she wants it through insurance - and that won't guarantee the insurance will cover it.

I am guessing she will convince her family to pay for it and then move on to a new toy. She seems to go through toys quickly and loses interest in each quickly - the canes, crutches, braces, and old wheelchair don't show up much after each initial few posts. Even the PICC isn't as present as I would expect for someone so excited about it - probably because she has already focused on getting the port so the PICC is boring to her

And you don’t “feel POTSie” when you aren’t changing from a laying down position to sitting or standing. That’s the whole postural part of POTS. If you’re just sitting ir standing and it’s been longer than 15 minutes since you’ve changed to that position, it’s not POTS related. Vertigo or some other dizziness issue maybe, but not POTS.

Sage for blogging in advance, but i'm pretty sure it depends on where you live, what insurance you have and such

Where i live you have to send an application describing what you need and why you need it. Then you will have an assessment with PT & OT talking through your needs. They will require documentation that you either have an illness who means you're automatically approved (MS/ALS/CP and such) or a script from a specialist saying you would benefit from a chair.
It's a lengthy and tiring process, but it seems to be easier in the US (especially if autumn gets approved)

Autumn is telly something else. Munchies are often happy for their new gadgets, but this is beyond anything I've seen. I get being happy to get a tube, because it gives you more energy.

I think a lot of people have caught on to the fact that her story makes no sense.
There are one or two commenters (who clearly read this thread but also seem to be OTT themselves) who I frequently see question/call out munchies mentioned here - but in a way that makes it seem like they are supporting a fellow spoonie so their comments aren't deleted as frequently

She is just one of a few - I haven't spent much time looking at her stuff and while there are some things that I have noticed that seem a little OTT I don't think its enough to warrant being on here (and I get that for some people there is a value in using social media to connect with others and talk about something that impacts their every day life - especially for individuals who want to live a "normal" life and try not to let their disability/illness prevent them from doing what they want). I do think she does a good job of questioning the true munchies in a way that they seem to think she is supporting them but really she is questioning the lies they get caught in.

She got posted in one of the early threads but it was an obvious vendetta post, you can tell when someone doesn't actually display munchie behaviour and yet gets a lot of shit written about them by 1-2 posters here that it's not really an OTT/munch thing but some personal issue.

My impression is most of the call out comments (@ninajean and others) are usually written by legit disabled people who don't revel in their illness.

I went back and looked at all her "older pictures" to see what the deal was with her changing diagnoses. (I would add screenshots but I am clearly too lazy to do that/make a collage)
Keep in mind that this has all seemed to take place in about 6-7 months.

Her current IG appears in April. She claims she was diagnosed with chronic lyme disease on April 4th adding to her "steadily growing list of conditions" - she doesn't specify the other conditions and only uses lyme/chronic illness/spoonie hashtags
- On April 6th she says she probably has pots and is being referred to a cardiologist. She adds the pots hashtag
- On April 7th she asks about how to buy a wheelchair
- On April 8th she lists her diagnoses as Bipolar, chronic lyme, POTS, von willebrand, and surgical andropause. She claims the POTS was recently diagnosed - even though she hadn't had the testing yet
- On April 10th she buys herself a wheelchair
- April 10th-16th she documents her wheelchair adventures and the fact that her family are "borderline abusing" her since they don't think she needs a wheelchair and is "catastrophizing everything and making life harder for everyone else"
- April 24th - she gets at 24 hour holter monitor that she proudly shows off and says the echocardiogram and tilt test are coming up soon. She adds a fibro hashtag at that time
- April 25th - she is told she may have babesia and that she doesn't have chronic lyme - she doesn't believe the doctor. Around this time she starts asking people about different side effects
- April 29th - she starts questioning if her joints look right when extended
- May 2nd - she tells her doctor she has muscle weakness and is "tripping" (both which were mentioned as med side effects) and the doctor refers her to a neurologist and once again says she doesn't have lyme. She continues to use the lyme hashtag and adds als and ms hashtags (cl
- May 3rd - she has the tilt test
- May 4th - sees a cardiologist about results and says that despite the "weird tilt test results" he doesn't know what she has (suggesting that he didn't diagnose her with lyme). She says he referred her to a neurologist
- May 8th - sees a rheumatologist who says she is "definitely hypermobile" and that the lack of hormones could make everything worse and that she is will see a geneticist. The eds hashtag gets added to the list. This is where the lyme hashtags disappear
- May 14th - she asks what symptoms people with EDS have and what treatments they are getting. She seems to claim EDS, POTS, CRPS, Fibro, GP and more
- May 21st - says the POTS doctor wants another tilt test because the previous one didnt show specific info about blood pooling. Is started on meds Starts to claim IBS at that time
- May 24th - says she wants saline infusions but its not part of the treatment plan
- May 26th - goes to ER saying her BP was low and she wanted to get IV fluids. Claims the fluids helped and she will talk to her doctor since its the only thing that has helped.
- May 29th - says she is having trouble telling temperature and feels like there are bugs crawling on her which she says she read could be a symptom of fibro and me/cfs - she adds peripheralneuropathy and me hashtags
- June 14th - moves to Oklahoma to be with gf - debates getting a service dog

I will see if I can timeline the rest of her diagnoses journey later.
Basically - she asks people about symptoms of various diseases and then adopts those symptoms. Nothing ever seems to be confirmed but she reads a possible diagnosis and adopts it. She abandons it when a new/better diagnosis comes along. The number of specialists she is able to see in a 2 month span is astounding.

Legally they can't give her IV potassium unless she needs it..i mean I guess you could find a suicidal or physcopathic doctor to rx potassium IV when she doesn't need it..even qhen people need IV K, they monitor you closely. Its dangerous deadly.
And in the states it typically is done in hospital only..not at home and not even in infusion centers (Little exclusions as always) because of how dangerous it is.

I may have missed something but where did you find the potassium and iron infusions?

No. 429282

You can actually get iv potassium at home, if it’s mixed in with lots of normal saline, which doesn’t hurt. It’s still monitored though. She might be a closeted bulimic, purging can make someone’s potassium super low. Or she’s just lying, and it’s saline and it’s not hurting her at all, and she’s just being an attention whore.

Also iron infusions don't really hurt..sometimes if you only need a little they will do it as IV push, and the taste is the thing to complain about not the non existent pain.
The iron drips don't hurt. They are diluted too..still it's that taste and other side effects she doesnt complain about.
Doesn't she have a central line?

This reads like a lot of going out and effort from the POV of someone who actually has POTS and EDS.

Autumn's August-October Timeline. Summary - POTS doctor won't diagnose her, give her fluids, or see her again. She decides she has GERD/GP. Starts and stops PT because she is too sick to exercise (maybe PT would fix that). Finds cardiologist who will help her get fluids. It should be noted she travels out of state several times during this period (with wheelchair/crutches hoping to get early boarding) and while she complains of being tired she seems able to do the things she wants and doesn't need IV fluids during that time

August 2nd - sees “orthopedic surgeon” who prescribes full body PT and a fancy leg brace. Says doctor was very nice and knows a lot about EDS
August 3rd - sees POTS doctor who “barely spend 10 minutes with me” and is completely against infusions. Claims he is booked for follow-ups until January 2019. Says she will have to find another doctor
August 5th - claims flare mental health, specifically psychotic symptoms but never specific
August 6th - started on pyridostigmine and says her stomach really hurts and her pupils are small - worried because one website says it is signs of a serious overdose and another says its fine
August 8th - starts PT - says she has a left bend in thoracic spine but it is also left turned which is supposedly impossible, has 0 muscle in her back, joint instability, and muscle degeneration everywhere. Gets the crazy tape on shoulders
August 11th - complains of loss of temperature sensation and numbness in hands and mouth. Claims she is bumping into everything. Hashtags proprioception. Sits on floor of CVS while buying wrist braces - has on two knee braces (she moved her first one to the other leg) and an elbow brace
August 16th - starts EDS support group by her
August 17th - goes to primary doctor. gets referred to cardiologist, neurologist, hematologist and given topical ibuprofen. Thinks she needs another saline infusion but doesn’t want to go to the ER to get it
August 18th - has PT, claims to love it, new tape on shoulders
August 23rd - sees rheumatology to establish care - given a muscle relaxer. Claims she is having bad muscle spasms, shooting pain, and lots of diarrhea
August 24th - decides to make hEDS info cards to give out to everyone who asks “oh what happened”
August 29th - having trouble finding a doctor who believes in saline infusions (its been a month since her last one!). Is confident she has GERD and pretty sure she also has GP so will ask her primary doctor for a GI referral. Goes to ER to get saline infusion
August 31st - asks people with GP to tell her how it started and initial symptoms
September 4th - says GI symptoms getting worse (bloating and diarrhea). trouble breathing and on call nurse says she should see doctor immediately but doctors office is closed. Starts using all the gerd/gp/gi tags
September 5th - someone told her about costochrondritis and macs and thinks that is the cause of all her problems
September 12th - its so hard to have undiagnosed symptoms and be pretty sure of the condition but have no doctors to treat them
September 13th - decides to use wc all day and wants ultralight wc through insurance
September 17th - reading book about MCAS
September 18th - postpones PT indefinitely because her flare isn’t getting better and until she starts to get working treatments she can’t workout
September 24 - videos of stomach and neck “spasms” (note - I could easily recreate these videos on my non-chronic illness body)
September 27th - new cardiologist is willing to help her get IV fluids

Final installment to come

No. 429395

Last Autumn Installment. Starts home IV fluids, convinces doctor she needs port - gets picc in mean time. starts work and quits 2 shifts later. doesn't have EDS
Of note - around November I think a lot of her posts have been in her IG story so they disappear (but tend to be documented here)

October 2nd - gets engaged at some point, in ER, has referral from doctor for fluids
October 4th - doctor is setting up home infusion services for IV fluids
October 5th - handing out at bookstore with her rollator to try to make friends
October 7th - insurance is covering IV fluids
October 11th - starts home IV fluids and is so excited. Fashioned a backpack to hold it all so she can be mobile with it (taped carribeaner to run line up strap, put snaps on inside). Should be noted the infusion is supposed to run over 3 hours
October 12th - interviews at Petco
October 13th - struggling with her “everchanging symptoms”
October 14th - her birthday. Seems to spend it with gf doing segway thing (I would imagine that would be super hard for someone who struggles with balance)
October 18th - has a second interview with Petco - wearing the backpack infusion set up - which was supposed to be from the day before. Sees neurologist who thinks GES is important and is excited to be prescribed gabapentin. Gets job. Says she ran 2 liters of fluids over the past 2 days but her pots is still so bad so she bought salt pills and is drinking electrolyte water.
October 20th - supposed to fill out papers to start work. says pots is super bad and is going to talk to doctor about doing infusions 3 times a week which of course means she will need a central line
October 23rd - sees GI who definitely think she has GI problems likely delayed gastric emptying and GERD. Put on proton pump inhibitors and scheduled for GES and barium swallow
October 24th - gets infusion. Starts working
October 25th - second day with IV. worried about bruise around iv site. Made appointment to discuss port with doctor because the repeated pokes are destroying her veins and she needs more fluids
October 26th - 8 hours at a cash register at work - all the pain
October 27th - quits job - too hard to work 15hrs a week
October 28th - money problems - a big portion of expenses weren’t included - can’t work so she doesn’t know what to do
October 30th - GES - so hard to lay still due to numbness and blood pooling and pain
November 1st - “peripheral line decided to leak saline as I ran it so not as much saline and I am in for a tough week ahead” - hoping for PICC until she gets a port
November 2nd - claims to have fallen 3 times and hit her head in the first hour of the day
November 4th - mentions she tried to take hormones again last week but it made her mental issues worse
November 5th - GES results came back normal
November 7th - barium swallow study (possibly). Primary doctor agrees PICC is a good idea
November 8th - PICC placed
November 10th - barium swallow study showed small sliding hiatal hernia - obviously confirming her EDS

Just noticed those very nice high arches, which would, more likely than not, not be present with EDS.. and if her knee hurt enough for a brace she wouldn’t be throwing it up there like that.. AND also with her claiming her balance issues, would not be balancing on one leg like that for a picture… fail.

No. 429401

Having gone through Autumn's whole IG and writing the timeline I noticed a couple of things

- She seems to have started her whole adventure shortly before moving. She quickly jumps from lyme to pots/eds. None of these things were actually diagnosed but she moves out of state shortly after. She quickly goes out and buys braces, wheelchair, cane. Her family isn't supportive the of the wheelchair.
- She finds a primary doctor who I guess isn't super familiar with POT. She seems to convince the doctor that she has pots and all her symptoms fit.
- She decides that saline is the only treatment solution before trying anything else. She starts by going to the ER several times to get it. She gets it at the original state. Once she goes out of state she probably tells the ER there that its the only thing that helps but she doesn't have a new doctor to set it up yet because she just moved. Once she is able to get it a few times it is easier to convince others that she has the diagnosis and thats the treatment - even though nobody has actually diagnosed her!
- POTS doctor clearly saw right through her so she found a new doctor. She claims her primary doctor supports fluids but that doctor doesn't actually prescribe it - she convinces another doctor to prescribe home IVs
- The home IV is supposed to run over 3 hrs. By the second infusion she seems to be running it over 2 days and leaving the house with her set up. After the 2nd or 3rd infusion she claims her veins are shot and that the IV leaks (who wants to bet she manipulated it to do that) and convinces the primary doctor to order a PICC/port - I assume that since someone else prescribed the home IVs and who knows what she told the primary doctor about frequency the primary probably just thought she was helping fix a temporary problem. The primary also tries to appease her with frequent referrals.
- Also interesting that she claims she wants to get a job working with assistive medical devices.

I am not familiar with home infusions - is it the kind of thing where a nurse comes and sets it up and then you are responsible for stopping it/taking the IV out?
I am trying to figure out how she quickly went from something that was supposed to run 3 hours to running it over multiple days. Unless the person sets it up and then leaves - allowing Autumn to mess with the rate (or just leave the IV in and claim it is running when it isn't).

No, it’s only if you have a central line/picc/port that’s already accessed, the nurse comes once a week to change the port access or the line dressing but the infusions you hook up yourself (it’s super easy), and the bags of saline come from the home health pharmacy with whatever added things already mixed in.

You can easily pause the fluids, pause it, clamp it, detach, cap everything and flush your line. Maybe a minute max? But getting a liter of fluids over days is pointless and won’t help at all. It’s more of a toy and less of something she actually needs (if she needs it at all)

She doesn't need the infusions at all. She went straight to deciding she needed infusions as soon as she decided she has POTS - which has never been diagnosed (if the most recent doctor gave her the diagnosis I suspect its because she went to that appointment claiming she already had the diagnosis - and since she had doctor hopped so many times across more than one state it is harder to track down the records).
Not surprising for someone who goes out an buys a wheelchair less than a week after they suspect they might have pots.
She also mentions trying salt tablets/drinking electrolyte water after she is given home infusions. I am no POTS expert but I would think it normally goes the other way around. And since she doesn't have GP there is no reason why she can't drink the water she needs (no fancy water bottles in any of her pictures).
She claims she ran 2 liters over 2 days - I am still not sure how she managed to do that with an IV placed by home health (but once again I have no experience in that area).

She is the perfect example of how doctor hopping and shopping can help you get what you want (I think it really helped that she moved in between and was probably able to go to the ER claiming she needed fluids but hadn't been able to establish care with a new doctor yet). I am just shocked she is able to get appointments with specialists so quickly.
The only thing wrong with Autumn is a variety of mental health problems - the only issue she almost never talks about and hashtags. If she is able to see all these specialist she should be able to find a decent therapist

This was taken before she "confessed" that she had anorexia (or a history of anorexia). Although I suspect that this was part of a plot to start angling for a GP diagnosis (even though it was several months before she decided she had GP). She is pretty good at asking people how their illnesses first presented and then adopting those symptoms (although she really did not seem to present with many GP symptoms I see so many complain about).

I would believe anorexia or some other body dysmorphic disorder before I believed any of her POTS/EDS/GP nonsense. She seems to think her body is messed up which is why she keeps trying to mess it up/present it as messed up.

She started by saying she was getting a trainer but that person bailed before meeting (possibly before she had a dog).
I believe this is a rescue dog she picked out (and gave a service dog IG the exact same day). She has mentioned a trainer once (maybe). At one point she talked about the dog graduating - but I think that was more from a general dog obedience class. As far as I can tell the only "training" the dog has gotten is standard dog training (walk on a leash, don't eat everything you see, etc). At some point she even mentions not paying any attention to him for a while.
I am just really surprised that she hasn't put the dog in a vest with a million "service dog in training" patches and paraded it around - she loves her accessories (although it seems like this dog is probably a bit too rambunctious to be a SD but rather would make a good pet)

What I don’t understand about the whole service dog thing is that all these munchies are claiming to be super, super ill, and can’t do anything like work or go to school or get things for themselves around the house, yet they have no problem caring for a dog and training their dog and doing whatever with their dog, which is a lot of work. Service dogs are even more work than caring for your typical dog, yet even the “sickest” spoonies have service dogs. Just doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.

We do have service dogs for people with severe disability too. Canine partners is a Uk based assistance dog programme, but it is very strict and they don't just hand dogs to anyone. They have their own OT's and PT's who assess you etc & you need to do a 2 weeks residential owner training with the dog too.

I got mine through canine partners. I am not going to list my reasoning, but the dog is my lifeline. I wouldn't be able to work without him.

Well I guess now is as good of a time to post as ever… Please don't think I'm WKing, I would just like to share my personal stance. The ADA is actually an amazing thing that has made service animals accessible to many people that would not have the chance before, whether for financial reasons or otherwise. Just because other countries are strict does not mean that the US is doing the wrong thing. Yes there are issues, and pretty much any idiot with a well trained dog can take it with them if they know the right words to say. But the issue lies in education, if businesses were savvy then people wanting to take their sooper well trained EDS/SJW alert shit-zoo into public would have no avenue for their attention whoring. Because the US has such a different law than most other "service dog popular" countries, it's easy to jump to the conclusion that it is a horrible thing. Yes it encourages the munchies, but the minority of people it does genuinely help benefit from it dramatically. I'm a member of the SD community and a handler of an owner trained SD, and if you are not a part of it then you have no idea the bullshit that goes on. You just THOUGHT Dani was bad… If you pick a person at random from any of the FB groups you have a 75% chance of stumbling upon the most dramatic SJW Spoonie you have ever met. I can't wait for this thread to delve into the SD world. There's an entire milk teat that we are just neglecting to suckle from by not exploring them further.

If you have suspected vEDS then they DO test you.

Especially if they are going to do major surgery like a hysterectomy!!!

I vaguely remembered something about EDS not being eligible under paralympic classification, and i can't find a category here that she'd be eligible to compete in if her only "disability" (though I'd hesitate to call it that) is MCAS.

While I was having a poke around I also found this article which states she shaved her head for charity since her "condition was causing hair loss" anyway (probably mild, as many illnesses do affect hair growth and quality). But
I've seen SO MANY OTT COWS shave their heads when there's no actual reason (inc alopecia) for their hair to have fallen out. It's just another attention move.

"Doctors believe when she gets hot and sweaty, this causes degranulation of her mast cells, which sends her into anaphylactic shock as her body releases too many histamines."

Shaved head and a bucket list, sounds like she’s trying to be a cancer kid, and get all the free shit that comes with it (minus the fact that they’re young children that have illnesses that might actually kill them and that they definitely don’t want). Mcas is a completely livable condition except the very rare severe case, which she doesn’t have since she’s routinely out in public without reactions.

Sorry but 10/10 pain is such excruciating pain you can’t talk, walk, and you can barely keep consciousness… nice try. You’re probably at a 4 if you can type and talk about a blog and manage to make a car ride and walk into your home and take a picture and post it.

You can't let people know you are a big faker so throw in a few complaints to distract from the fact that you were able to participate in all the fun activities despite being too sick to go to the supermarket every other day.

There’s a whole group of girls claiming GP that are tube fed with no issues yet still super skinny. Not how it works. I guarantee most in that demographic are ana chans not getting enough attention for their mental illness. Pots symptoms are super similar to anorexia starvation induced orthostatic intolerance and tachycardia; without full testing (not just the tilt table) and being hydrated and not starved you can’t diagnose pots correctly. Yet they claim pots and GP and get feeding tubes but don’t use them enough to gain weight, and then cry when they still have “pots symptoms”. That covers Chloe, jaquie, Paige, Aubrey, autumn, Carmel, I can keep going but you get the picture.

Unless they started tube feeds only recently? It can take many months to gain back the weight if you've lost a lot.

But yeah, it is worrying that many doctors don't seem to see the relationship between eating disorders and (presumed) physical illness in general and the GP/POTS combo in particular. I once heard a dietitian say that doing a GES in someone who is severely underweigth isn't much use, since the stomach is almost always slower because someone hasn't been eating. So even if the reason someone didn't eat much for some time was because of real physical symptoms, a GES might still not give a valid result. I'm guessing the results are influenced by not using the stomach and not by BMI per se, so sticking an NJ down to pump some calories in and re-test in a few months won't do in that case. And as long as someone claims not to be able to eat orally and the results show GP, no one will force the patient to eat as much as they are physically able to. So it depends a lot on the patient and how hard they actually are willing to try. For many of them, just start eating and gradually increasing the amount will cure them. But how to solve this without patient cooperation and without deception (e.g. putting in an NG and telling them it's an NJ) - I don't know.

I can't believe she was only 'diagnosed' or suggested to have pots and whatever else less than a year ago and she already is having a port.

No. 432266

You think that's fast? Jaquie had hers in three months. Must be an all-time record. She was angling for IV fluids before she was diagnosed with POTS.

(I know, she has her own thread. Won't mention her again.)

What I don't get for Autumn is that even if her doctors would think a port would benefit her, she already has a PICC line. Which is in for how long now? Two or three weeks? First of all, I don't understand why they put in one if they knew she was going for port surgery soon. Second: if somehow her doctors didn't communicate with each other and she got herself a shiny new PICC line without the doctor who decided on her port placement knowing it.. why not just wait for a while?

Third question, and then I'll shut up, but for how long has she been on IV fluids? Isn't it good practice to test a treatment before cutting into a patient, if at all possible? I've read somewhere here that the effect of IV saline tends to wear off in POTS patients. Even if that wasn't true, it is known that the more invasive a treatment is, the bigger the placebo effect. IV therapy - any IV therapy - has been shown to have a much larger placebo effect than e.g. a simple pill. So even if someone really has POTS and really benefits from IV fluids, it is very possible that any physiological effect is boosted by the placebo effect. A placebo effect tends to wear off after a while. So it makes sense in more ways than one to have a patient try out IV fluids for an extended period of time (say a few months) with either a peripheral IV or a PICC line before deciding on a surgical central line.

But of course our resident munchies are different. Just like they don't start out with a nasal tube like most patients and only decide on a surgical tube if it's clear that a) all alternatives are tried and they cannot maintain weight without tube feeds and b) they will need the tube for a long period of time.
No, they go straight for a surgical tube. Because it makes so much sense, of course.

No. 432277

>>432266
I agree. I don't know how they are getting IV infusions and ports/piccs so fucking fast! It took me 3 years after diagnosis for my cardio to even consider it, and then another 6 months of peripheral IV's to get a port because the IVs were helping so much at the time.

I'm just flabbergasted that doctors are just handing this shit out willy nilly. I thought most docs would have the common sense to try everything non-invasive before even remotely touching on the topic of surgery!

Also so true with Autumn. If they knew she was going to get a port, why give her a PICC? That's just asking for an infection (although I'm sure she'd love that since it'd mean she'd actually be sick).

Sage for a bit of medfagging, but I'm just so fed up with these Munchies being able to snatch up what other people wait years for in a matter of months.

Autumn tried one medication and immediately stopped it I believe. She has conned the doctors by doctor hopping and it really helped that she moved states. She was able to go get fluids at the ER a few times after she moved and I am sure she told them it was her usual treatment but she didn't have a chance to establish a new doctor yet. Two doctors before she moved didn't diagnose her with POTS (the last wanted more testing but she moved before that ever happened). She seems to have found a primary doctor who doesn't know much about pots/eds and autumn has convinced her she has it and saline is the answer. After the first POTS doctor in her new state basically laughed at her and refused to see her again she found another doctor who she convinced to give her saline (again never actually saying she was diagnosed). She then seemed to manipulate her IV during the home infusions and told her primary doctor it was leaking so the primary got her a PICC.
She has been very savvy with doctor shopping and changing states pretty much ensured that it would be difficult to get her real records so she is able to convince doctors that she had diagnoses and treatment plans.
She is under 20 and likely still under her parents insurance which must be amazing because she sees a new specialist once a week at least. She decided she was too sick for PT and didn't even consider drinking more water until after she got the home infusions

The us system definitely leaves more doors open to doctor shopping, because your records don’t transfer to doctors outside your current doctor or hospital, it’s a pain if you want them to transfer, but it lets munchies doctor shop and claim they get a treatment elsewhere, or were diagnosed by someone else.

And she may not have necessarily claimed it was her regular treatment but she could have just gone to the ER claiming all the right symptoms to get herself a saline bag (especially if she suggested it helped in the past). She could have put down diagnoses on the intake form and since hospitals/doctors have to request records from other hospital systems which takes time and paperwork (and still isn't a guarantee - I have waited weeks for a clients paperwork only to have them send everything except the documentation I needed). By the time they get those records she would have already been treated and released - paperwork probably completed and nobody checking to see if the records ever came through and were accurate. In the mean time the new documentation she had created by that ER visit may state that she has POTS because she reported it and if new doctors start looking at that paperwork (because nobody has time to search through mountains of paperwork and summaries are often copied/pasted from one document to another) they may not realize that the diagnoses listed were self reported and not given by someone with a degree.
Having dealt with medical paperwork I can see how it is possible to create this mess so that self diagnoses look like real ones and the fact that she moved out of state really helps.
Doesn't help that she found a primary doctor she can manipulate - that doctor doesn't know much anout pots and never prescribed saline herself but was willing to help autumn out with a PICC placement when she went to her saying that she was having difficulty with the iv for the treatments someone else prescribed (and probably lying about how often she was supposed to get those treatments - if the doctors are in different systems it could take a while to verify what autumn claims). And even though autumn has super powers that allow her to get specialist appointments in less than a week she probably told the primary doctor she had a long wait until the next available appointment with the specialist

Autumn's claim that she is taking it easy really just means she has been doing normal people things and enjoying the holiday festivities but can't document it on IG because it would give away the fact that she is only sick when it's convenient for her.
But I expect lots of selfies and thumbs up pictures for her port placement.

No matter how often I read here, I'll never stop to be amazed at the fact that so many people take selfies in this sort of situations. I can kind of understand it when someone has an active YouTube/Instagram account that they make money with - it's kind of a job to them. (Although making money by whoring your illness is imo kind of repulsive, but that's a matter of opinion, I guess.)

But 'normal' people, people who have a social media account just to get in touch with other people? (Or whatever people have those accounts for - I myself have never seen the appeal.) If you are having an operation, even if it's a minor one, or if you are at the ER or even just your primary.. I don't get it. I just don't. Wouldn't your attention be focused on the operation, preparation, getting well afterwards? I cannot imagine lying there and thinking "o wait, have to post a selfie in my gown". I don't think that's normal behavior. I can understand a little bit that someone would write a post afterwards, in much the same way most people would text their family or maybe one or two of their closest friends. Even then I personally think it's too private to post there, but if you are in a community of other people with similar medical problems and the account would be private, I would understand that.

But this? Posting your most intimate medical details, pictures of yourself when you are most vulnerable, on a public account?? Imagine you would do that you would apply for a job some time after and your boss-to-be would read all that? I'd be horrified. Not only that, I'm pretty sure that would bump you to the bottom of the list. It shows not only that you have certain medical problems an employer would rather not you have, but most of all it shows horrible judgement to post that kind of pictures of yourself.

People like Autumn I don't really feel sorry for. I do in a way; she obviously is mentally unstable, but at the same time she is very deliberate in what she is doing and she knows she is fooling her doctors.
But I DO feel for those young girls who don't know what they are doing. Those who might or might not have minor medical problems are maybe even a real and serious chronic condition who post this kind of pictures because they see others in the 'spoonie community' do the same and think it is normal behavior. Someone should protect those girls against themselves, because they have no idea what they can get themselves into.

I'm rambing, I'm sorry. But I just don't get it. And I also think it is dangerous. As I said, I don't have a social media account so I don't know if this is already the case, but they should post some kind of disclaimer at least. Warn people against posting personal and especially medical information about themselves, especially when their account is public. Have them tick a box that they are over 18 and understand that it is not recommended to post this information and why, I don't know. It's the least they can do.

There is absolutely no fucking way someone with VWD would not have a hand-sized bruise at the port insertion site and another significant bruise, usually of a lenticular shape, above the clavicle where the incision for the tunneling was made.

True! I don't have VWD but even I was already bruising after my port insertion! It's fucking traumatic for your tissues because they do blunt dissection using their finger to expand the pouch usually. This leads to a shit ton of swelling and bruising.

And most of the time that’s what pots patients are told here in the US. The problem is that they see other cows on IG and YT with iv fluids and wheelchairs and they go to their (incompetent) doctors and beg for it, or manipulate their way into getting a picc or port or central line.

Many doctors don’t want to admit when they don’t know something.

At least in the US, there are unfortunately a lot of very arrogant doctors.

(I call bullshit on that) do not have that screen shot but again she only puts stuff that lasts 24 hours. I believe she also said some shit about needing surgery for her heart that has six chambers and needs money because it’s a year wait for surgery to make it four chambers.

She did claim that her BP tanked when she got to the bagel place and that she had to lie down on the booth. Could have been from her fake POTS or could have been because she just had surgery.
Based on her claimed bleeding disorder I would think she would get more observation/take more precautions - but thats probably fake too.
Plus she is probably so excited by her new toy that she just can't wait to show it off. Going home and lying in bed isn't nearly as good as lying in a public place.

There are several other factors besides diagnostic criteria (which has already been discussed ad nauseum on this thread)
- just because you claim to have a diagnosis on social media doesn't mean that a doctor actually gave you that diagnosis. We have seen munchies fake documentation. Some just go out and buy the toys themselves. Nobody has actually diagnosed Autumn with EDS but that hasn't stopped her from claiming it (and she sees doctors who don't know a lot about it and give her toys based on reported symptoms). Just because someone lists a diagnosis doesn't mean that a doctor actually gave it to them.

- Doctor hopping can make it easier to get a self-diagnosis documented . Tell a new doctor you have been diagnosed with disease x. They write it down in the medical history section. It can take a while to get medical records from another practice so the doctor may not get a chance to review previous records before completing their own documentation so they have to go with what the patient says (and more patients are likely to omit diagnoses than make up extras). Once you get one or two doctors to document the self-diagnosis, that information may begin to get transferred to new documentation and lose the part about it originally being self-reported. (For instance - I have a client whose mother moved in and out of the state a few times within a year. During one of the moves she was able to convince someone to give the client a diagnosis of autism. This client does not exhibit any signs of autism and every other other clinician I have spoken too agrees with me. However, since they have supposed prior documentation of an ASD diagnosis - I have to put it down and use it as my diagnosis treatment code).

- Not everyone has access to specialists. I have worked in some more rural parts of the US where there is only one doctor in the area who pretty much has to see everybody in the town. It is not as easy for those doctors to get tests/labs done and they know it can be expensive and time consuming so they do the best they can with the information they have. They know it isn't ideal but its better than nothing.

Yes Autumn takes it to a completely different level of craziness.
The only illnesses she doesn't obsess about are her mental health issues (which she acknowledges she has but never discusses). I would guess that all of her physical symptoms (like the fatigue) could be explained by her psych issues but psych issues haven't gotten her enough sympathy points because she doesn't "look sick" so she has just moved on the making stuff up.

With changes in technology I can see how taking selfies in hospitals and whatnot is becoming more commonplace (in general our lives are much more documented and much less private). I can even understand posting some of it to social media because for some it is a representation of their life - but I expect to see other aspects of your life too. If you have no other pictures besides medical/sick pictures then you have a problem. Autumn is a prime example of someone who is sick when it is convenient for her - she doesn't post during the stretches when she is doing "normal" activities (like during Thanksgiving) because she doesn't want to let people know that she isn't as sick as she makes herself out to be.

Autumns "medical journey" has taken place in the last 6 months - interestingly after she started her first year of college. She then claimed that she didn't want to drop out but had to because she wasn't well enough to continue (right after she was supposedly diagnosed with chronic lyme and then suspected pots and bought herself a wheelchair). If she truly thought she couldn't finish the semester due to a medical issue I would have expected a leave of absence instead of straight dropping out. She also already seemed to be planning to move in with her girlfriend who lived out of state before she planned to drop out making me thing that she really just couldn't handle the college life (which would be fine - its not for everyone) and needed an excuse to bail.

She went to the POTS specialist in Oklahoma and claimed that he only spent 10 minutes with her, didn't believe in saline, and said they didn't have any openings for a follow-up in 2019.
Sounded more like she saw a specialist who didn't believe she had POTS (especially since she probably went in claiming it and saying she needed saline despite having tried nothing else). The no follow-up until 2019 (when it only took her a couple weeks to get the initial appointment) sounds more like an excuse to prevent her from coming back.

Its hard to have information removed from medical history - doctors can't go back and change other doctor's notes (you aren't even supposed to go back and change your own note). They could certainly write a new note listing the reasons why they do not feel she has POTS. However they won't be able to release that information to any other doctors (doctors within the same practice can likely easily look it up in an electronic medical record system - but the patient has to give permission for a doctor to receive and give information). If a patient knows a doctor will have written something unfavorable about them - like denying a diagnosis - they are likely not going to grant permission for that documentation to be released. The average individual probably doesn't realize this and signs the release forms without really reading them but I bet patients like Autumn who are knowingly manipulative are a little more careful about what they sign.

I really just don't understand the whole spoons/spoonie thing.

I get the spoon theory in the context of the original story in which the author randomly grabbed something at a cafe with a friend to illustrate a point. But if you don't know that specific story then spoons just doesn't translate well - as a individual of average health I don't go walking around with spoons.

And Autumn the nurse wasn't giving you a spoon - the nurse taped a spoon to the pen because they were tired of people stealing their pen. Although the spoonie trash can does apply to Autumn - she wastes all her silly "spoons" on plotting her next medical scheme instead of doing adult things.

Apologies for my spoon theory rant (it makes a little more sense once I read the original story but drives me crazy that it's always just explained as "normal people have lots of spoons")

Autumns way of asking people to tell her all their symptoms so she can figure out what medical drama to stir up next - she tires of her toys very very quickly so she will need to plan something new to keep herself entertained

And I am not expert on ports - it seems odd to me that her doctor was like "you can access it immediately but waiting a few days might be better". Since theoretically her saline infusions are scheduled shouldn't there be a more definite plan regarding accessing the port? Like wouldn't you want the first access to be done in a clinic to make sure it works okay and not just letting the home health person have a go at it?

With my Port insertion I'm pretty sure I only had the dressing on for a day. I had surgical glue covering the incisions so I could shower almost immediately, just couldn't bathe until the glue came off. (But I couldn't actually shower because I couldn't lift my arms higher than a few inches above the bottom of my ribs).

They accessed the port right after insertion, but then with my EDS the surgeon wanted to wait a full week and a half for the swelling and bruising to go down before accessing it, he didn't want to access right away because it would traumatize the tissue more.

Also, the docs should have told her what to do in the discharge papers.

I'm chronically ill but I've always felt that way about the spoon theory too.

'The healthy have a luxury of life without choices' - not true. Many healthy people feel tired, run down and have to make decisions about what tasks they can and can't handle. Can I go to the grocery store today or will I be too tired after work? That's normal life for every human being. Most healthy people I know have days where having a shower is too much effort and where they're too tired to do the dishes and so on.

'Most people start the day with energy to do whatever they desire' - no. Most people I know have to drag themselves out of bed and force themselves to do things they don't want to because that's life.

The whole theory posits that if you're sick, you have limited energy to do daily tasks, and if you're well, you don't have that problem. But it's not true. It's not sick versus well. None of us are rarely ever 100% well. Being ill is more on a spectrum in my opinion. Some days you wake up with aches and pains and an upset stomach and that's just the human body.

At any point, any of us could fall down that scale from well to unwell and we may or may not move back up the scale depending on what illness befalls us. Common viruses and bugs? Temporary. Chronic conditions? Depending on what treatments are there, you may move up the scale or you may not, and with some illnesses, you may continue to deteriorate down it. I just don't feel it's helpful to liken it to a 'you have endless spoons' or 'you have limitations' because every human has limitations, the difference is some of us have more barriers than others to contend with and that's when some people need a helping hand.

Agreed about using the sage (hint newfag - put the word sage in the e-mail field)
The post in question seemed an appropriate response the the post I made about autumn and hating the spoon theory - and argued that "spoonies" aren't any more special than the rest of us. It seemed to clarify my point about the spoon theory more.
The post before it (>>433397) was much more of a blogpost with excess information about how the poster was so sick they couldn't lift their arms up and how because of their super severe EDS they needed extra healing time - all of that info may have been true but it didn't really address the question asked about autumn's post-port instructions but rather was a comment on how the poster was better than autumn.
There are way too many people who post on here who seem to be trying to validate their own illnesses/behaviors. If you are going to post a comment about how your illness is more severe than a munchies - just stop. And in general learn to use the sage

I know every approved drug for MS in the UK. None of them even remotely look like what's in her little pill box, and no, none of them (with the exception of AZA, which is not REALLY an MS drug) can be given as a liquid (long and complicated reasons but the point is that slow absorption is pretty much a desirable factor). She's lying her ass off, which is none of my business, but it is kinda odd to see someone with allegedly relatively severe MS yet zero symptoms and no mention of either daily meds or IV immunotherapy.

Update on a previous cow, Ruby (whose little sister had cancer).

Ruby spends this humble-bragging about the new mobility aids she has installed in her house that allows her to take a bath.

Now, I've only had a few moderate episodes of a muscle wasting disease, but by my experience the legs this chick sports are in no way wasted or incapable of supporting her weight, or even in allowing her to walk or climb stairs. Her legs look well groomed, well muscled, and well nourished.

Legs wasted from disease have been in my experience some of the most visually shocking, and not something you can fake.

When your fat gets eaten away and your muscle pack decreased in a very short amount of time– short as in due to some inflammatory or pathological factor– rather than under use or voluntarily decreased food intake, it's visually obvious. It's honestly not "invisible" like these bitches complain about. People can see wasting under clothes. It's upsetting.

Ruby is fine and healthy. She has normal muscle mass and normal fat amount. I wish she would stop taking advantage of the people around her, who are already traumatized by their younger daughter having cancer, to milk them for sympathy for her nonexistant diseases.

Nope. Copaxone and interferons are injectable but we haven't seen her brag about her bi-daily injections. Some other drugs are IVable, but ditto no evidence. So it's safe to assume she'd be on teriflunomide, fingolimod or dimethyl fumarate. Because she has claimed NMO first, it's almost definite she would not get the injectables as both glatiramer acetate and interferons are known to worsen NMO or MS with AQP4+ antibodies. Which leaves the possibility that she's on one of the immunosuppressants approved for NMO/MS, which in almost all cases is AZA (tiny yellow circular pills that can NOT be crushed or J-tubed) and very rarely, Cellcept (orange/sky blue capsules OR very clearly labeled big ass white pills, again not in evidence in her photo).

She claimed she was diagnosed with chronic lyme and was put on antibiotics. About two weeks later she sees a new doctor who suggests she may have babesia and places her on a new medication. That doctor told her chronic lyme wasn't a thing and that lyme tests are accurate (suggesting that her tests said she didn't have lyme). She doesn't believe the doctor. She sees the doctor again a week later who reiterates that she doesn't have lyme.
At this point she has decided that she has POTS and EDS and possibly MS/ALS and is pursing multiple specialists. A month after she claimed diagnosis of chronic lyme she sees the rheumatologist who says she is hypermobile and adopts all the eds hashtags and the lyme ones disappear and aren't mentioned again.

Basically chronic lyme wasn't getting her what she wanted (although it has worked for other munchies) so she aggressively pursued other diagnoses.

Autumn bought the wheelchair a week after getting diagnosed with chronic lyme and deciding that she had POTS. Because clearly the first course of treatment is buy yourself a wheelchair. She whined about her family giving her a hard time for using the wheelchair - probably because she DID NOT NEED IT (and was probably making everyone else's life hell asking them to push her around). She clearly is standing up and walking around just fine before the panel begins and then sits herself in the wheelchair and rocks back and forth instead of sitting in a normal chair - probably mad that the person next to her looked more disabled.

- I will say that while the person next to her mentions vWD first, she does go into the details of her surgery and how it supposedly affected her first. That being said the other person's story sounded much more realistic/plausible and since I believe Autumn helped organize the panel it is possible she met that person before hand and poorly copied their symptoms.

>>434014
I found her whole surgery story a bit odd and like she was trying to make most gender-confirmation surgeons out to be villains. She basically blamed her doctor for healing complications when she herself claimed not to know about her "lifelong illness" (I believe she is hinting at EDS as the cause for her healing issues - even though she has never been diagnosed). If she truly had healing issues I wouldn't be surprised if they were self inflicted.

Maybe you missed the part where the first post mentioned at least two doctors said it was in her head, and they could find no clinical reason for her symptoms. Even her colonoscopy tests were fine. But she pushed and pushed until she could find a doctor who would diagnose on reported symptoms alone, and managed to net herself a prop to show off how sick she was.

She doesn't have any kind of actual disease or disorder that would need an emptying bag. If you actually have Crohns, or ulcerative colitis, or anything like that, a case that is severe enough to warrant an emptying bag would also absolutely for sure show up in the kinds of blood tests they do to check for these autoimmune conditions.

The reason why it's gross isn't because she's doing regular stuff for having a bag. The reason why it's gross is because she's not sick, she's pathologizing vitals that are normal for an active, healthy young woman, and she's using the bag as an attention gaining device.

Oversharing or explaining your medical problems isn't the same thing as actively gunning to tank your health. I read an account of a guy with an ostomy bag, who was a construction worker, and ended up prolapsing his bowels into his bag because he was doing heavy lifting. I thought that was tragic, but not disgusting.

Speaking of EDS, it seems like she has fallen into the regular trope of the munchies singling out a doctor who is compassionate but steps out of his specialty to give them a dubious diagnosis.

In spite of Molly saying she got a diagnosis of POTS and joint hypermobility, this Dr. Sica fellow doesn't sound like he's 100% equipped to sally out all of these diagnoses. You can see his faculty page here:

https://medschool.vcu.edu/expertise/detail.html?ID=183

But also it sounds like all and sundry munchie and OTT spoonie has crawled out of the woodwork to get this guy to slap on the diagnoses. Googling "dr. sica dysautonomia" returns the top result as a pinterest page, and then handfuls of personal blogs coaching others to find a doc (with Dr. Sica being mentioned specifically) to diagnose POTS. (To be clear, I'm not slamming this Dr. Sica, I have a feeling he's a good guy who wants to help people, but these cows take advantage of that.)

What I'm saying is that it sounds like Molly is doing her research to find someone who is eager to slap a diagnosis to validate her ileostomy. If she can't blame Crohns or runner's colitis, then she's going to grab for the first diagnosis a qualified medical professional is going to offer.

Not really, neurologists and cardiologists normally treat pots (mostly neuro), as it’s a problem with the nervous system. No doctor refers pots patients to nephrology. Also, I get pretty suspicious about patient/doctor selfies, it doesn’t mean they’re not sick (even though I’m sure this one’s a munchie), but they’re definitely way into the ott side of things.

Bizarrely, she has more or less written off the input of actual gastrologists, because they won't give her what she wants. In that first post where she decries medical professionals for not believing their patients, she specifically singles out one Dr. Butt.

If you Google Dr. Butt gastrologist, I'm fairly certain this is the guy who told her to get a life:

So it sounds like the specialists for handling something as severe as a ileostomy didn't want to do something so invasive, so she managed to munchie her way into getting a visible prop for what seems like blatant orthorexia and anorexia. She's made posts humblebragging about her underweight BMI.

So now she needs iron transfusion? And unsurprisingly, she “can’t tolerate” her feeds because of her “pancreatitis” that was so bad she couldn’t vlog or post to IG or, oh wait, she could do those things and was smiling at every point during her hospital “adventure”. Anyone else get even more of an ana chan vibe from her now? She clearly was fine, but used her recent procedure get hospitalized and get all that sweet sweet attention also have an excuse to not run her feeds. And that’s an ana chan “trick” some use who even aren’t munchies, get hospitalized for a supposed “physical illness”, get an excuse to not eat while being somewhere you can’t just walk to the kitchen and get food when your “willpower is weak”. Aubrey is clearly capable of eating, since she went weeks without a tube and didn’t have any serious consequences and didn’t even lose weight in any noticeable amount, and even now she doesn’t run her tube at a fast enough rate to giver her even close to a survivable amount of calories. And she shows off her body like an ana cow, including the angles she takes her selfies at. It’s almost like she’s flaunting how she’s skinny and getting away with that

Ask about symptoms of the medication you were prescribed. Describe these neurological symptoms to your doctor. Must be MS or ALS - totally not a just common side effects of the meds you are taking

Follow every spoonie on social media, mimic their symptoms, and then ask them questions. Someone tells you about MCAS so you must have that.

Pancreatitis is extremely painful. Aubrey was smirking and taking selfies as they wheeled her from the er to her room. Even with painkillers, she wouldn’t want to be doing anything, yet she even uploaded a vlog that day from the hospital. I don’t think she had anything wrong , just said she’d had surgery on her pancreas and was in “10/10” pain (already a lie, since not only was she conscious, she was able to say that’s what her pain was, which is nowhere close to that); the er doesn’t do super specialized testing, her pancreas probably looked a little inflamed (since she had something taken off it), so they admitted her. But she never had true pancreatitis since she was able to vlog everything and upload it and post on IG and play with her dog and all the other things she did that would be impossible for true pancreatitis. She’s a fucking munchie with an eating disorder who managed to snag herself the attention whore’s dream for a couple days.

Yeah, I’ve known a couple people who got pancreatitis randomly (it’s not that rare overall), and they weren’t doing anything for days, let alone taking selfies and vlogging. It’s one of the more painful acute illnesses out there. Her responses do not fit that at all. Even if you’re in bad enough pain to need the heavy duty stuff that hospitals try to avoid now because of drug seekers, you’re not doing much after getting it, if you’re able to do anything other than lie there and think about how maybe death wouldn’t be that bad (a bit of an exaggeration, but not far off kek).

>>I've never ever heard of someone with EDS needing an ostomy JUST for gut dysfunction from it
I have. Usually it's a combination of things like bad motility, prolaps(es) in the pelvic area which makes for a nice vicious circle with the former, stretched out portions of the colon, diverticulitis, years of opiate use, wheelchair use making the motility even worse, etc.

Having said that.. scrolling through her Instagram without even knowing her story one can see that she is kind of obsessed with her ostomy. To the extent of what she says in the attached screenshot.

I don't mind people wanting to raise awareness and showing their bag in pictures. Although I have to say, personally I don't find it very good taste to make pictures of yourself with a clear bag and no cover over it. Or at least post a warning and put a spoiler on it if you're going to show your actual poop. Otherwise, I don't care. As long as you use either an opaque bag or put a cover over it, I'm OK with people showing their bag while wearing a bikini or whatever. It's part of your body and that's OK.
I'm even OK with people naming their ostomy. It's not my style, but if you like have a particular noisy ostomy and want to call it Bert, I don't care about that. I even get that people can be glad with their ostomy if it saved their life or gave them a much better quality of life. That's all fine as far as I'm concerned.

But she just takes it too far. Showing it off in almost every picture? Calling your ostomy "a cutie"? Now that's creepy. She reminds me of Jaquie's showing off her tubie pads in every other vlog, and saying she was "proud of her feeding tube" when she got that precious button. Now that I think of as being quite.. strange.

Also, if she actually has EDS, she has EXTREMELY good control over her joints and muscles. That's a screenshot from a video that can be seen here https://www.instagram.com/p/BZuOVbcgWEM/?taken-by=mollyollyostomy
I'm not saying someone who is able to do that can't have EDS, but I think it's fair to say that if someone with EDS has that kind of control and strength, they'd probably be (very close to) asymptomatic.

Although I guess it is possible to have good strength and still dislocate joints with sudden movement or while sleeping (you can have all the strength you want, it's not gonna help you if you go limb during sleep) but well.. I think it'd be quite rare.

She has no visible hypermobility, and true rectal prolapses in eds are not very common at all, and are rarely treated by doing an ostomy, which can cause more complications. There are even less envasive surgical procedures that most doctors are hesitant to perform for eds prolapses, and the fact that she can work out and do all sorts of things without getting prolapses in other organs is suspicious, especially because she doesn’t seem to have any other eds symptoms, including very obvious missing hypermobility, which is kind of a requirement for eds

Why aren't her neighbors helping her pack as she is just so sick and they know that since she visits with them everyday..or the boyfriend?
Anyone else get the feeling she is getting pulled out of government housing finally?
That's got to be a blow to her given every year she starts panicking grasping onto anything she can to claim so helpless to keep her disability and housing.
She used to complain that she hated the housing because she had a curfew (I've only heard of that in therapeutic type housings, but maybe it's a thing) and no one could even spend the night with her and absolutely not stay more than a few days like a boyfriend would do to get away with living there but not get caught.
I really don't think she has a boyfriend and I don't think he's using her to get laid.

Definitely not good at being subtle about it - there have been multiple times where she straight out posts asking what people's symptoms are, how they started. It has happened several times in her IG stories but there are even a few straight IG posts of her asking.
I think its partially due to laziness but also partially her being a smart munchie (or at least maybe learning from experience). If you show up at a doctor and start listing the first 4 symptoms that show up on a google search (and do it multiple times for multiple illnesses) it is going to look more suspicious. She seems to try to find out how the illness may start and progress so that she can slowly start introducing those symptoms to her doctors

I am both surprised and not surprised by the lack of posts following her port placement. She is either trying to lay low because more and more people are catching on to the fact that she is making stuff up. Or she accomplished her goal of achieving a port and now is bored of it and must figure out her next move. (She seems to get very excited by new toys/possibility of new toys but then gets bored of them very quickly - all her mobility devices and braces only make a few appearances and then disappear).
She never posted anything about her custom wheelchair evaluation. She clearly doesn't need a wheelchair - much less a custom one - so I doubt insurance would cover it and that price tag may be too big for her parents to pay for it (seeing as they thought she was crazy for getting the original one in the first place)

No. 435289

Now she has upped it to 2 neighbors! So sad that she feels the need to adjust her life story in response from a website that does nothing but criticize her.

Has she actually said that she has to leave her current housing or is it more that she is just saying that she is planning on moving. Based on her response that she is "still searching but trying to get stuff done early", I suspect that she is still pretending that her and her boyfriend are going to get a place together. I highly doubt that will ever happen - the only reason she started claiming it was because the health of that "relationship" was questioned on here (because if you have apparently been together for 14 years but you barely see each other, live close by but not with each other - and aren't a religious pair that believes in no sex/living together before marriage, and don't help each other out - its probably not a good relationship).
Her claims about the housing are very strange indeed - I am in a different state but go into a lot of section 8 housing/government homes and have never encountered those rules. There are typically conduct rules that can get you kicked out of the housing but not curfews and I haven't seen limitations on guests visiting as long as they adhere to the conduct rules - aka don't deal drugs or destroy the place). She seems to have a "rare" unit in her building (a double unit combined into one) so it seems silly of her to risk losing it. Even if she loses disability she probably still qualifies for government assistance based on her lack of income.
The neighbors she visits are probably some sort of elderly couple who take pity on her but can't "help" her because they old and have their own health problems. She used to give a play-by-play of her day in her videos and never mentioned visiting neighbors.

The question she replied to was "have you found a new place?"

This just confuses it more..she talks about not having much money, and the boyfriend obviously doesnt get paid much either given he couldn't pay the car note that she had to pawn her rings he gave her and borrow from her father to keep it from being taken..shes section 8 and I think her weird rules are because she is lying about her relationship all together. But yea it makes no sense to give her housing up..specially if it's a nicer place than the others and low rent (or is it free?)
Even if the rule is real about visitors that guy could easily live with her there. And then he has more money because he has cheaper split rent with Dani in housing.
The boyfriend has a place….why would she not move in? She has said he lives alone. It just doesn't add up why she is looking for a new place in her situation.. which is why I really think she's loosing it. That or last minute something will happen and she will not move and stay there another year. It just feels like this is another freak out about trying to manipulate the government like she does every year.

Most likely making up rules to try to explain why her "relationship" seems so strange. A group home or halfway house might not allow visitors and have a curfew. However, I have never heard of section 8 type housing having a curfew. If the boyfriend were to move into her apartment they would have to let the government know he was moving in and his income (and depending on his income it could change their voucher amount or make them no longer eligible). And being a homebody who doesn't get out much - I doubt she is doing anything that would annoy the neighbors/landlord enough to report her even if he did move in.
I don't think the "boyfriend" has any intention of moving in with her. If anything he may have agreed to look for a place but will probably find reason after reason to not do it. Since neither seems to have much money (she claims he gets final say on the house since he will be paying for most of it - which basically means he can put it off indefinitely). She is either just claiming to be looking for a place to try to stop the rumors on this thread (since we know she reads it) or this boyfriend does exist and he is just stringing her along.
It sounds like she was originally put on disability for her eating disorder. I suspect it is the mental health issues and not the super severe GP that has kept her on disability this long (although she said that even her therapist thinks she needs to come off disability). I don't follow her most recent account but didn't notice her talking about a case worker a ton. It could be because there is someone checking in with her regarding her mental health. Case workers usually have crazy caseloads so trying to help her with her exaggerated medical problems is probably not a priority.
I doubt she will be kicked out of her housing. As annoying as she can be (in terms of being a cow) she probably isn't a terrible tenant - her rent gets paid (she has said her father has promised her she will always have a roof over her head and food in her fridge so even if she can't pay someone will). Her apartment certainly isn't clean and she may punch the occasional wall (but probably not hard enough to break the wall) but in general she probably isn't doing much damage or creating a lot of noise.
In her financial situation, it makes no sense for her to move out - unless she were to move in with the "boyfriend" at his current place (and for her sake I hope not - if that relationship is real it is 100% not a healthy one).

That's the whole reason she needs tube feed.
God I really hope temple resists this tube crap and strings her along to prevent additional manipulating and dr shopping..thankfully temple knows their shit and it's pretty hard to munch compared to other GIs..they work with a lot of ED patients there..tubes are invasive and temple knows her history so that keeps me hopeful because the poor girl will end up severely damaging herself if not killing herself with a tube.

Speaking of her living arrangements if she were having all the symptoms she says she wouldn't be living alone..or driving or walking places.

Yeah, I'm wondering about this, too. Especially with a sibling with a pancreatic mass– shades of Ruby Shallom are starting to creep in here. Some of the worst munchies have used cancer as a fake illness.

I'm going to say that I'm remaining skeptical until she posts some kind of legit documentation, or she shows overt signs of suffering from cancer. If it's benign, she should be fine– benign masses suck, but they don't have the systemic affect that malignant masses do.

But otherwise, I'm going for her letting people believe she actually has cancer, when she has some kind of benign mass that has the possibility of becoming cancer waaay down the line. Sounds more her speed.

I am suspicious as well. What are the chances of someone who desperately wants to be sick actually getting an illness? We already know she’s lying about being able to eat, and let’s be honest, chronic Lyme isn’t even a substantiated illness, let alone one that can cause pots and GP (way to go, Kate’s farms, enabling malingerers one munchie at a time). Sure, she looks upset in the video, but in her IG post she looks pretty damn excited for someone who has cancer. And nowadays a good percentage of cancer is treated outpatient, they prefer to have people in the hospital as little as possible because of the risk of them catching something. Also, if you found out you had cancer, would your first reaction be to YouTube and IG it? Cancer is a munchie’s wet dream, but they’re only looking at it from the perspective of all the attention the patients get. Who knows if this is just another ploy for attention. I won’t believe it until I see some sort of proof.

They told her it was cancer, but after they called to say it was benign, and after she was back at the hospital. That sounds fishy to me, labs are super careful about not screwing up that kind of a thing, and it sounds like she went back to the hospital on her own accord for whatever reason, and they just happened to tell her. Also, we saw her gowned up for a procedure, but did anyone actually see evidence of them going into her pancreas? (Bandages, bruises, anything?). How do we know she’s not in the ER for another random complaint, and that she actually had a biopsy done? Munchies have lied about having cancer before, she wouldn’t be the first. And we know she lies; she lied enough to get herself a port and a feeding tube.

Call me crazy, but this doesn't look like someone who’s upset about being diagnosed with cancer (although she jumped on that tag right away). She looks positively thrilled, which I’m sure is helped by the nearly 200 comments about how everyone loves her and how brave she is and asking how they can help, etc..

They don't mess around with the pancreas..pancreatic cancer has one of the highest deaths..so any type of and normal tissue would be biopsied anyway.

So if she was or she's Baylor in Houston she will not get away with faking these motility issues at all..the motility Drs at Baylor are the big guys in Houston. I've had encounters with a couple of people faking GP and dr Shari dies not tolerate that shit at all.

It sounds like the local offices around her have more or less turned her away, most likely because she's perfectly fine but shopping for diagnoses.

I feel like she doesn't have a grasp on the actual severity of her conditions. Even if she does have GP or some lung disease, they aren't "terminal", any more than any chronic condition is "terminal". Just because it can cause your death doesn't make it a terminal condition.

She just loves milking this frail, brave young woman wading through some unfair circumstances.

Here's a timeline of the Aubrey cancer issue. I've been watching her videos for awhile.

Her history is very weird, and I now have a question. Mmedfag help me out, at the end please, with my question.

She had epilepsy before college, and then developed lyme disease during college from leading camping trips for first-year students coming to college. She has been fighting lyme for awhile, although I don't quite understand the length of time for that. She also has a POTS diagnosis, GP, and???

Her Austin GI sent her to Houston for the celiac plexus block. That doc found "a mass" on her pancreas and took a biopsy.

The celiac plexus block was outpatient, so when she got back to Austin (where she lives), she started experiencing pain and went to the ER where she was admitted for pancreatitis.

She was then discharged after a few days, went home, pain continued, and she was instructed to come back to the hospital if she still had pain after three days. On Day 3, she got the call that her mass was benign. On Day 4, she still had pain so she decided to go back to the hospital and was getting her bag together when the doctor from Houston called back to say that her mass was indeed a tumor. he did not use the word cancer.

She now has a dilemma. The GI, that she loves, does not have practice access at the hospital that she likes. So why doesn't she like her GI's hospital?

Well, that's a bit murky, but I think it's because when she wanted her feeding tube placed, she went to that hospital and the GI surgeon refused to put the tube in and made her cry. So they ended up at the hospital that she likes and that's the one she goes to now, but her GI doesn't have rights there. They were "nice" and put the tube in.

So, when she went back to the nice hospital's ER because of the pancreatic pain, she told them about the mass/diagnosis, and they got her records from Houston, connected her with the cancer team in Austin, and one of those doctors told her she had cancer and admitted her to the cancer floor.

That's how she found out the tumor was cancer.

The feeding tube story is sort of interesting, too, because when she first went to get an NG tube, the GI at the hospital wouldn't place it without liver tests, upper GI scope, etc. They placed the NG tube and then realized the hospital didn't have the formula she could have while on whatever diet she follows for Lyme, so she went home with a tube and no feeds.

The pancreatic cancer team told her she will need additional tests to make sure she doesn't have additional tumors because this tumor can grow on other organs.

So, medfags, is it possible that she has other tumors (or even just this on) that have caused all her symptoms (from lyme symptoms to GP symptoms) for this long? Her celiac plexus block seems to be working so that makes me wonder, too, if she has things wrong, but not lyme and not GP?

Pancreatic cancer isn't usual in her age, so the docs would not have even considered it when she showed up as a 20/22-year old complaining about symptoms.

From Houston's side of that it's believable..those GIs are not the most pleasant people unless they are very interested in your condition..Baylor is the big place in Houston got Motility now and they do not give tubes out like candy. They are very big on the pacer and domperidone treatment and of course research and all that. So if she was in their radar with questionable GP chances are she did not enjoy those Drs. They are great Drs for people who they feel aren't wasting their time and know their shit very well. I wish theyvwould send eveeyone with questionable motility issues to them first to weed out the munchies and others..Austin is much smaller and doesn't have a big motility facility with Houston being so close…which is likely why she was sent to Baylor in Houston for better testing, second opinions and more options.
What isn't making sense to me is this block is basically 2 shots into nerves near the spine..they put one in each side and use xray or fluro to make sure they are in proper place, pain med is administered and needles come out and bandage goes on.
It is near the pancreas and they use this block for a lot of cancer pain..
Now I'm wondering how her amazing Dr decided to check around her other organs during this block (not a surgery)
If they used a fluro then it's likely when they injected dye to test placement it was obstructed by this tumour..but for them to biopsy it they'd have to remove the needle, insert the larp one to make a puncture for a biopsy needle to get it which is not a big deal but it would not be possible to look at her organs without putting her under general and setting up for an exploratory larp or a make shift one some how..they usually just give mild sedative or conscious sedation for these blocks.
Am I missing something or misinformed about something here? It doesn't make sense

There's a mother on the gold coast who was buying chemo drugs on the interwebz to make her kid sick for asspats. Kids on leather chesterfields and inspiration porn oozing out of every pore.

All of them share the same behaviour. It would be good to know if anyone has drawn this parallel already.

Also, I wonder what would happen if one of them DID get a terminal disease or condition if they would panic and be freaked out or just embrace it until they die. I suspect the former.

I think she was out for the celiac plexus block.

And she said the doctor told her he decided to look around while he was in there…She describes his process fairly clearly in the celiac plexus video. I'm sure he was curious about the feeding tube and port and all the things and asking the bigger question, "WTF???" if only to himself.

I could see him (and I don't know anything about the medical side of any of this), but I could see him noting potential pancreatic pain when he did a physical exam, along with the all-encompassing question asked by knowledgeable docs, "WTF???" and deciding to look while in there, if only to show a med student something.

I am still very on the fence about Aubrey…She's is OTT, but she tries to live. She dropped out of grad school but she is going to classes to learn to code and she works part-time. She's OTT for sure (just look at the thumbnail of her intro video) but when she looks pleased at getting admitted, I always get the sense it's because someone finally believed her symptoms for a change.

Now…having said that, I don't for a minute think she was in 10/10 pain as she reports when she went in for pancreatic pain. But I do believe she was hurting and I do believe something is wrong with her. I'm wondering if she watched Jaquie and others and confirmed for herself via Dr. Google that she has lyme and found a doctor that supported that theory, when in fact she has something else entirely that has gone undiagnosed, the edge of which was uncovered by the Houston doctor who did the celiac plexus block? Now, the team in Austin will figure out the rest.

I watched her "I have cancer"-vlog. It's weird to watch and I really don't know what to think. But if she is telling us the truth and she really has cancer, her reaction to that news is imo really unhealthy. She is endlessly summing up the positives of this news and not showing any actual distress over it.

At 7.50 she tells us she is being admitted to the cancer ward and the doctor just told her she has pancreatic cancer. Without any change in her voice of demeanor she says "That was really hard to hear him say that. So.. I have cancer. That's a lot to digest. But.. I have already fought so hard, and I know I have the strenght to get through anything that is thrown at me. I have a lot to be thankful for, and if the next thing I have to do is beat cancer, then that's what I am going to do."

And how does she end her vlog, the vlog of the day she hear she has cancer? She rounds her video up by basically saying "There are a lot of positives in today.. I am a fighter, I know I can get through this, etc., etc."

It's weird. I know we all seem to be a bit more careful than with other issues, probably because it's about cancer. I mean, accusing someone of faking cancer when you're not really sure is pretty horrible. But that's also true when it is about other disorders or illnesses. We all know Aubrey has either factitious disorder or a somatoform disorder combined with an eating disorder (and when a patient only lies about things surrounding food and eating I think most clinicians would be a bit hesitant of adding a diagnosis of factitious disorder). But personally, I don't feel I 'know' her well enough to be able to tell if she would actually go as far as fake cancer. And if she does, her husband must be in on it, too as he was with her during at least a part of her vlog. To me, is different from exaggerating and/or lying about symptoms to get certain treatment(s).

But there are several odd things to her story. -First of all, like another anon pointed out, how did they find a tumor by accident during a plexus block?
-How can they make a mistake like that? (She was first told it was benign)
-She is admitted for her pancreatitis, but is admitted to the cancer floor. Is that a commom thing? She also immediately speaks to the surgical oncologist and they already seem to have a treatment plan.
-Her flat affect and her frequent use of the word 'cancer' without any show of emotion. She showed a lot more emotions when she was in hospital and they wouldn't give her a tube, to name an example. But in this vlog: no emotions, not from her and not from her husband.
-It's a neuroendocrine tumor that as I understand it can grow on different kinds of organs, but one doctor also told her she has pancreatic cancer. My understanding of cancer is that you only would call it pancreatic cancer if the tumorcells were pancreatic in origin, right? Then would a neuroendocrine tumor on the pancreas even be refered to as pancreatic cancer?

On the other hand: her cancer vlog is viewed about twice as her most popular vlogs so far.

She looks genuinely pleased/happy with the while situation.
And absolutely feeling those pain meds..so if they admitted her for pancreatitis it is a painful condition but it is not cancer.
But since her brother had this it's very possible she actually goes have a tumor they need to remove..pancreatic cancer is terrible and has a low survival rate so for anyone who's dr somehow saw any abnormal anything on the pancreas they are going to do biopsies and remove it cancerous or not.(there's always exceptions of course)
It doesn't make sense that he found the tumor doing a block..its two needles xray or fluro..so the only way would be if he got super lucky and injected the placement dye check right near this tumor and the tumor would have to be obstructing the dye from flowing past it.
It's possible but for the dr to have looked at other organs she would have more than just 2 needle pokes. There would be a camera and anchor, and 2 "arms" at the very least which is 3 separate incisions..maybe they told her it looked begnin but will see what the biopsy shows..that would make a bit more sense with the different claims..it annoys me because she's trying to come across like she's got a serious cancer going on when in reality she is either lying and manipulating (all the inconsistencies and hospital hopping..Austin is capable of doing that block..) or she has a tumor/mass or abnormal issue they biopsied and will just remove and send her on her way..shes repeatedly said she's lucky they caught it so early..and here brothers was removed and is fine..
if it were pancreatic cancer they'd be aggressively treating it immediately if so not loading her up on pain meds for pancreatitis..
With it being a Neuroendocrine tumor is it possible that its a growth or a blockage in her glands that produce hormones?
Has she been having any major blood sugar issues? You can have blood sugar issues and have a fine pancreas but you can't have a sick pancreas and fine blood sugar. (Again always exceptions)
its just a strange situation. I don't know what to believe. But regardless of her situation she definitely reached her munchie goal with this..everyone is talking about it..itll be interesting how it plays out.

I'm confused … in the video she says she has cancer but doctors don't know if it's "benign" or "malignant." Can cancer be benign? I thought it was by definition malignant?

Also I am finding it really hard to believe that someone could find out they have pancreatic (or any) cancer and almost immediately start to see the positives and smile. Even if it's somehow just because she's on pain meds, her husband wasn't on any pain meds and he apparently went to a "work event" shortly after finding out his wife had pancreatic cancer. That just does not happen.

Benign tumors are not cancer, but sometimes they can possibly become malignant, at which point it’s cancer. But a benign tumor isn’t cancer, it’s just a tumor.

It’s also not possible that they wouldn’t know, as cancerous cells appear quite different from healthy cells. I’m wondering if maybe she’s got a benign tumor, but she thinks all tumors are cancer, which they’re not. A lab could diagnose her with cancer or not very quickly after getting her biopsy, there’s no way they still wouldn’t know, unless that hospital’s lab works really slow. But it makes more sense that they already know it’s benign, and she’s trying to play it off as cancer. At the end of the day, she’s still a munchie.

Whether she’s actually sick or not, she is absolutely loving all the attention. Also, what happened to her “pancreatitis” and “10/10” pain? As soon as she got a “better” diagnosis (if she was actually diagnosed with cancer or not), all that seemed to be forgotten.

"I'm truly at peace with with this diagnosis"
What? I can't think of any reason to be at peace with "cancer" (even faked cancer and exaggerated benign growths)
"I know everything is going to be ok"
Because you know it's simply a little mass near a duct that is being removed.
"I'm confident they will get everything out with surgery"
Because she knows it's benign and easily removed. She watched her brother have surgery to remove the growth. But hey maybe she will get "lucky" and they will do an exploratory surgery while in there and find many tumours (I get a feeling she is going to claim this even if it's a total lie)

That feels so off to be said after what she is claiming..and it's strange she didn't address the diagnosis and full plan..
"This diagnosis"
She doesn't really refer to all the other illnesses that way. She names them and goes into details with them.
Typically if you have a risky cancer treatment tends to involve a little bit more than just surgery to remove the mass..

Her whole story is suspect, how do we know that she’s not in the hospital for another reason, and is copying her brother’s story about the tumor. Everything she’s done contradicts just about anything removed her body (that yoga pose), maybe she finally got caught lying about GP and is in there for her eating disorder. I’ve known multiple people diagnosed with cancer and they a.) never looked happy about it, let alone that ecstatic, and b.) don’t most people get a treatment plan right away? Like within a day or two? Yet she said they don’t even know if there’s cancer other places. There’s an easy test for that, a PET scan, they do them all the time and it shows cancer.

Because she's not mentioned chemo, treatment, just "lucky it was caught early" and boundless positivity, I am seriously doubting she's been told outright that she has pancreatic cancer. If I had to bet, I'd say that it's a benign mass that will be removed, but she's going to tell everyone it was cancerous but she doesn't need chemotherapy - either wilfully misleading people or because she's an idiot that doesn't realise benign tumors aren't cancerous.

She ended up getting found out and now lives in obscurity in Michigan.

But Aubrey’s lack of treatment plan and test answered doesn’t fit a normal cancer diagnosis. I’m pretty sure she’s assuming or at least saying cancer, when it was either just a tumor, or she’s in the hospital for something else.

Seriously. It really doesn't matter how sick you are there is no way they would leave you feeling like you'd 'gotten away with it'. Even if you did this because you were incredibly ill (say severe psychiatric distress, autism etc.) they very much let you know it was wrong and the potential consequences, even if the doctor doesn't choose to have you transferred/ spoken to by the police/ press charges.
NHS staff put up with a lot of crap often from patients who are genuinely ill and don't understand their actions but they still make it clear it is unacceptable.

My autistic brother broke his arm and had to have it treated, he hit a member of staff in the process because he didn't understand. He was even more upset because he had hurt her (though not actually injured her). The hospital didn't call the police or anything but they did make it very clear it was unacceptable (obviously they did this in language etc that he could understand).

This is just disgusting behaviour from an adult with full capacity.

People assaulting people in A&E don't have an excuse, even if they have asperger's, but autistic people die sooner because they DON'T get medical assistance.

She’s doing the same shit on IG. She makes her eating disorder so obvious, she’s definitely not sick or in pain. Also, there’s no evidence she recently had a procedure; there’s scars on her stomach but they look old. If she had cancer they’d for sure operate ASAP, not in a few weeks. I’m calling bullshit on the cancer diagnosis, if anything she’s got a benign tumor. They did bump up het amount of formula, I see, but there’s nothing preventing her from slowing down the rate or turning off the pump or fucking with it in another way (like ed patients tend to try), but I’m sure any time they try to run it any faster she’s screaming about her “pancreatitis”. Which I doubt she ever had, since she never once looked sick or in pain.

No. 437215

I don't follow Aubrey's vlog so I don't know specifics in her case (other than it seems sketchy).
They don't necessarily operate on pancreatic cancer the day after they find it (even though it can be very fast spreading). Sometimes chemo is done first to shrink the tumor. They usually need to figure out if the whole tumor can be removed first - since they typically only remove it if they know they can remove the whole thing.
Based on what has been posted here - I am assuming that her tumor will be small and easy to remove. There are a few ways to remove a PNET and it doesn't necessarily involve "major" surgery.
In her case, I wouldn't be surprised if the tumor is benign and that she is just going to roll with it being cancer because they gets more views and points. They may want to remove it because there is a chance it could turn into cancer (or in the even that it does cause some of her "symptoms"). Time will tell as this plays out but she will likely be able to have a small operation and then go back to her being her usual munchie self - but able to call herself a cancer warrior and people are much more hesitant to question the cancer thing

If that’s a PICC line, it’s absolutely ridiculous to thread it up your sleeve through your shirt. That being said, is it actually a picc line? A port can be accessed the day it’s put in, or the next day at the latest, and even then it’s a terrible idea to have it out flopping around. It can get pulled easier, and also it’s impossible to change your shirt while it’s running if it’s out like that. The munchies all cry that it’s itchy or whatever having it under your shirt, but that’s a load of bull. She’s literally only doing that to show it off, and I guarantee the only people that care are other munchies.

She is really working the tea thing now - she got flack for not following any recommendations. At some point someone suggested trying ginger tea (so she went and bought like 4 different brands) and now it seems like every post is about her drinking tea (granted I only see what is posted here now).
Since her appointment is coming up she is going to exaggerate all her symptoms to report to the doctor in hopes that he will tube her. Too bad her reported symptoms never seem to match up with appearance/labs/weight. She appears to be at a healthy weight but claims she gets 0 calories in her (and if she struggles so much with getting enough calories and that causes migraines I would think she would focus more on drinking calorie-rich drinks and not just tea). Her face doesn't look like someone who has been violently vomiting constantly (bad filters yes - but her face doesn't even look very puffy and I don't see any signs of petechiae)
And side note - if she really was vomiting as much as she claimed, I think that would be enough to warrant removing the lip ring. I know it might be part of her style but if you were vomiting constantly then I think it would get gross pretty quick.

All the cool munchies thread their lines through their shirt (all other humans try their best to make it less obvious).

I don't know much about home infusions but Autumn really confuses me. She has said she has home health coming to hook her up to infusions. She has never mentioned any training to be able to hook herself up (if thats possible - and if it is I am sure she wouldn't miss the opportunity to tell us she was taught how to give herself life saving treatment). Yet after 1 or 2 home infusions the time it took jumped from 2 hours to 2 days. Now she appears to be hooked up on a Sunday. I don't have personal home health experience but I used to have a lot of clients who were discharged to home health and it was really hard to get home health to come on a weekend. Seeing as she doesn't have a job and has no reason why home health couldn't come during normal weekday business hours I am suspicious that she has home health coming on a Sunday for something that could be done any other day of the week.

If that's a picc that would be awkward feeling like that not to mention picc lines (especially the purple "powder picc" and the weird blue/clear picc line) would bend easily and cause a pinch in the tubing making the annoying alarm go off on the pump easily and often..if she is doing gravity infusions it would slow it down and be easy to not notice a stop in the flow right away..for saline that wouldn't be an issue but some other infusions would create an issue with the line like making it sluggish or clot it up..if the Drs wanted to wait for the port to heal up before using it (some do, some dont..usually if the patient has no usable line it's used immediately without any problems) they obviously don't remove a picc until they access the port for use but I wouldn't be surprised if she tries to hang onto both for a while.
That sort of looks like her port being assessed..they have different types of attachments used on ports but they get removed every 7 days, and new one put in.
I worry that she is going to go to town on her port..easily see her trying to get away with doing it herself each time she has to use it….infection city or she will fuck up the port by doing it wrong by accident or on purpose.
I'm surprised she isn't showing off the port coming out of the skin from infection yet..port infections are terrible..its a bit more harsh than picc lines and nontunneled lines.
Some people rest the lumens and I gysioms on the outside of the shirt to keep it from laying onto of other wounds or healing surgical sites or a painful feeding tube mainly if used overnight wit while asleep, but in public it's hidden away..and for pictures and if people are over most people hide it away..not leave it out..ridiculous shit.

It's also pretty common for home health companies to not allow their patients to access themselves. Some are even making it more difficult for patients yo do their own dressing changes due to the risk of infections. Especially if the patient has had many infections, or if they have mental disorders that concern the RN..its more and more popular these days and I don't be surprised if it eventually becomes a company policy.
Some are fine teaching them to remove the port needle so they can air it out or want to go swimming or bathe or whatever.
And of course the biggest conflict is emergencies like if the dressing comes off or gets wet…the patient needs to know how to fix it..or if the needle extension breaks or leaks or if the needle gets yanked out..while a bit inconnvient home health is 247 and have on call nurses for a reason and should your dressing get wet or whatever you are supposed to call and have them come out to change the dressing or fix up the port access and change it and make sure it didn't damage the port. Each company is a bit different and it is also different per patient. In general a new home health patient will have to have the nurse out for the first week or 2 for each infusion to show them and teach them how to use everything and some trouble shooting and then it goes down to weekly sometimes biweekly or monthly depending on situation.
Some home infusions are done with a nurse regardless how long their patient has been with them but these tend to get done in the office for convience for the nurses.
When it's a high risk patient (mental disorders, elderly, noncompliant, abusive (MBP) history of repeated infections and other preventable issues) it is an per patient thing based on companies ability and people can get dropped for it, especially the noncompliant patients.
Before that they will alter plan of care for the patient like not allowing them to do dressings, changes infusions whatever the issue is or suspected.

And >>437287 totally agree. Knowing how to handle your port in emergencies is important, and I think people should at least be taught how to deaccess themselves so they can do that if the situation ever arises.

I also understand the whole "learning to access yourself process cause I went through it. There's no way a nurse would clear Autumn to access herself without supervision if she thought she wasn't ready. (At least I hope not). I'm hoping that should she get an infection, they'll immediately revoke any chance of her accessing herself.

And in spite of getting Social Security benefits, she somehow needs to come up with $130,000 out of pocket for a gastric pacemaker, 10,000 for oral surgery because of totally gastric vomiting (and not bulimia totally not), and all of her visits cost her 1,000/month. She also posts this fundraising message every few hours like the spaz she is.

elbow crutches are very demanding on the shoulders, but if someone with genuine EDS was to try swinging like that and was to put their whole body weight on their shoulders, they'd dislocate, sublux, or be in copious amounts of pain for quite some time, oh and did I mention they wouldn't be able to hold the pose for a picture?

However this story makes no sense - Yes there are people who have to pay $600 or more a month in health insurance premiums - COBRA can be high but you usually are offered COBRA because you lost a job. However, this is also considered a qualifying life event so you can switch insurances (which as of right now are still not supposed to be able to deny you based on pre-existing conditions) and certainly find something cheaper (granted you would have to start your deductible again). The only way you will have almost no coverage is if you get a catastrophic health insurance plan (lowest level) and in that case your premium won't be close to $600 a month.
Now insurance might be denying the medications and surgeries because they aren't actually needed.
Furthermore, if she qualifies for section 8 housing (even if she doesn't have it because the waiting list is crazy long) and disability benefits than she should qualify for medicaid - which would have no out of pocket costs.
This person is has to be straight up lying about their financial/insurance situation (or at least trying to get funds for a bunch of surgeries they don't need). Sounds like someone got themselves in financial trouble and is now trying to get people to bail them out by claiming they need the money for medical expensives.

Because when asked why they don't wear an undershirt or compression garments they all claim "heat intolerance".

Never mind that Autumn has multiple pictures of her wearing a beanie and/or sweater/jacket inside. And doesn't have a problem covering herself in braces if it suits her fancy.

I watched two more of her vlogs yesterday and I am leaning towards believing her on this one. The said they are testing her for MEN, and are doing tests to see if there's more tumors. If she is lying about it, it would have to be a very elaborate lie and her husband would have to be in on it. That's a long way from being an anorexic who is trying to cover up her eating disorder and being a 'chronic lyme' patient (which, let's be honest, could just as well be someone with another medical problem or with somatic symptom disorder who is fallen prey to some 'lyme literate' woo doctor).

However, her reaction to the whole thing only confirms the fact that she is indeed, a huge munchie. She loves the attention. She can be the queen of positivity now more than ever. I'm sure part of her is scared, but another part of her is right where she wants to be. It's creepy, actually.

Dani makes it so obvious that she reads this thread - and does a terrible job immediately trying to address the inconsistencies in her story mentioned here.
Yesterday comments are made about how her face doesn't appear consistent with her story that she is vomiting constant so today she needs to put on a face mask because her face is so bad from throwing up.
The face mask probably wouldn't do her any good helping with the aftermath of the frequent violent vomiting that she claims occurs - might help with acne or wrinkles but probably not puffiness and petechiae.
The more "successful" munchies likely know about this thread but just ignore whats written about them on here. Dani spends all of her time trying to justify herself - which always ends up backfiring.

These munchies remind me of the documentary I watched years ago, "Whole". It's about people who are obsessed with becoming amputees, and will put their lives in danger to achieve that goal. It gives insight into their thoughts and actions. It's one of the most fascinating and well done docu's I've ever seen, and I highly recommend it o everyone ITT.

I torrented it, so free versions might still be out there if you care to search, but here's the official, legal link:
http://frozenfeetfilm.com/whole/

Some personal observations:
1) they talk along the lines of being an amputee trapped in a healthy body in a surprisingly similar manner to transgenders talking about being trapped in the body of the wrong gender. These wannabe-amputees are exactly what you'd get if you crossed the munchie with a tranny. (I told you it was a must-see!)
2) OF COURSE they're Americans. Can't even imagine Eskimo wannamputees, right?

She also doesn’t look like she’s in pain, and she’s definitely not malnutrished to the point of not being able to have surgery.

None of her illnesses are "progressive" except her, in munchie terms "serve brain (mental) disorders that could be in remission with proper and special treatments (expensive out of pocket charity experimental ECT woo treatment facility what have you)"
Also given the trend among munchies is to be so extremely positive in such terrible situations no matter what so they appear to be such strong brave little warriors with no expectations but focusing on themselves and only getting upset when their cover is in anyway questioned by Drs and internet (because who else really cares? Drs have to treat and munchausem is a real illness and the internet is full of every type of person possible making it seem "normal" in communities who hate or love. We all have illnesses in our lives and we are all going to die. It's a choice everyone makes one how to handle that. Real illnesses or persevered illnesses)
She has a terrible condition called being a selfish human, munchausems and she's even pretty bad at it.
I wish she would seek the proper treatment because she has to be so miserable, extremely so.
She could have a happy life but chooses this life and it's questionable how much She fully understands..i don't think she fully understands what consequences her actions have..bad parenting and swooning over a sick little girl whose a bit slow probably due to her birth issue..
She's absolutely got some bad GERD going on..that is without doubt in my mind her biggest issue. It's been mentioned before….for those who haven't experienced severe acid just can't understand how scary it can be for a person..specially one like Dani. I don't think she is willing to accept that's what is going on because in general it is seen as a mild thing and most people have it..but there is an inconsistency with this story also because if she was a preemie and if she was sick and if she has had gerd this bad she would have had the surgery by now. It's done most commonly on children, specially ones like her. I wonder if temple will suggest this. You know she will jump all over any chance to have any surgery.
It's starting to be done more often in adult populations..and many can't throw up after. She would have also had aspiration issues some point the past 30yrs. That she hasn't had (I don't doubt her attempt after reading this.) I don't doubt she feels like shit..all these drugs she doesn't need does that to a person. But having acid sit on you isn't pleasant..she probably reports such violent vomiting when she spits up acid, or gets a backwash of her food/liquid and spits it out. Acid isn't pleasant tasting either.
Her GO at what appears to be a liquid diet (rigghttt) is funny because she is reporting more and more violent vomiting that chokes her (no evidence) yet if she were on a liquid diet she wouldn't be vomiting as there is no physical reason she can't drink and keep down and 100% absorb it. (I can't wait to watch her attempt malabsorption issues..she hints at now..those poor perfectly functioning intestines)
That special 4- 6 hr 2 day GES temple did would have shown suspected intestinal blockage and motility issue.

There's nothing getting worse but her mind.

Then she should do what the other millions of people with GERD do: Stop eating shit that’s bad for reflux, and take meds. Her “vomiting” can’t be that bad even if it’s real, since she’s literally not lost any significant amount of weight. Those surgeries are usually a last resort for babies and young children with severe chronic vomiting who are unable to maintain their body weight or nutrition levels, not for adults with reflux and an eating disorder.

Packing for an unplanned move. And of course it was questioned here why her neighbors don't help her pack so of course now they are helping by giving her boxes.

She has a crazy amount of clothes - she had over 100 items for sale on that app and it doesn't sound like that covers all of it. Now I am sure that a lot of it is because she hasn't thrown anything away in years (I donated around 100 items last year after I realized that I was holding on to stuff from high school that was in good condition but I never wore anymore - and she is about my age). I don't think any of her clothes are very expensive - but she is constantly treating herself to small things which is fine once in a while but can start to add up.

And having to pack before her health gets worse - she doesn't have any terminal illnesses. Her worst problem (besides her mental health) is reflux, which in her case probably is severe and do to its chronic nature does put her at higher risk for Barrett's Esophagus which can lead to cancer.
Reflux isn't surprising given her birth history and can be chronic but unless it was causing feeding/swallowing issues it is unlikely that she would have had any intervention beyond reflux meds.
>>437849
The Nissen fundoplication used to be more common in young kids in conjunction with the placement of feeding tubes. Per my recent feeding/swallowing CEU course, the procedure is becoming much less common.

I think its partially because Autumn doesn't fully identify as a female. While she says her pronouns are she/her in the panel about gender confirmation surgery she says she identifies "as a girl sort of". It seems like she identifies more in the non-binary to female spectrum than the male side.
I wouldn't be surprised if Autumn has some more serious body dysmorphic disorder issues going on. She clearly seems to feel like there is something wrong with her body. She tried gender confirmation surgery and seems to think that went wrong. She is desperately searching to find a reason why she doesn't feel right. Her "spoonie" journey seems to accelerate much faster than most and interestingly started during her first year of college. I wouldn't be surprised if she went to college expecting to get a fresh start and didn't end up fitting in like she expected. She quickly developed "severe" medical issues that she was able to use as an excuse to drop out of school.

What frustrates me is that she clearly has the insurance and ability to access a wide variety of specialists. She has admitted to having mental health issues but doesn't mention getting any recent treatment for them (rather she uses it as an excuse as why certain medications don't work for her). If she truly did have such a sudden onset of physical health problems no one would think twice about her seeking therapy to help cope. If she is able to get so many tests and procedures done she most certainly should be able to get therapy/medication that will help her deal with the real issue - which is her mental health.

Mental illness isn't as glamorous or understood by others as a physical disease but there is no shame in seeking help. (And seeing how she lives in a red state in the south I am sure she is not stranger to stigma)

There's certain meds that are kept in certain rooms. However they're still meant to be in a locked cupboard, and you're right that it has to be logged and signed for when anything from there is used.

Potential new munchie, brief rundown: this girl is a Taylor Nicole Dean - a YouTuber who buys animals once a week and neglects them horribly. She also claims in a video that she has EDS because her bone 'shattered' and because she's so ~strong N speshul~ she didn't even notice. Never once has she shown any actual signs of EDS, her Instagram/Snapchat/videos are full of her partying, running around after these animals and she also evidently has a wealth of mental health issues.

Check out the video here - https://youtu.be/f1wwi0xefZw

Janaye isn't known to be the most friendly handler in the service dog community but Dominique really poked the bear. Janaye might be a bit bitchy but at least she doesn't seem to be a munchie with a fake service dog. I've made a video compilation of all of Dominique's inconsistencies and drama to condense it because her videos are so long and boring that not many people are going to watch the whole thing for just a couple seconds of bullshit.

My guess is that the nurse didn't refuse to give her the medication but rather told her that she had to finishing whatever she was doing (like attending to another patient) before she could get it.
I assume that the nurse was planning on administering it but has several other patients that also need her/his attention (possibly with more urgent needs) so this cow decides to "help" the nurse by grabbing it. Basically acting like a selfish child. Deciding that if the nurse wasn't going to pay attention to her immediately then she would do something that would make the nurse attend to her immediately (because once she has swiped her own medication the nurse has to pay attention to her and then might as well administer it).
I don't follow her but I would guess that she is the kind of patient with her finger constantly on her call button trying to get all the staff to pay attention to her constantly - despite the fact that the (often overworked) staff have other sick patients who also need care. I doubt she self-administered the meds but rather decided the nurse wasn't doing her job fast enough and so she acted like a child to get the attention she wanted exactly when she wanted it with no regard for anyone else.

No. 438395

Or it was low because she got herself dehydrated (my money’s on her purging, either the normal way or through her tube), and they can’t figure out why, so that’s why she’s staying. These cows do so many things and have so many symptoms that are totally because of their eating disorders, but no one in a medical hospital is going to question them since they’re coming in with physical diagnoses.

No. 438397

It’s an interesting theory, but nurses don’t leave meds out, they’re always locked up unless a nurse is currently giving them to the patient. Hospitals count pills individually by how many the patient gets, and there’s an issue if the counts don’t match up. Even if a pill is ruined and they need a new one, it’s documented. The most realistic explanation is that Paige is lying for attention (surprise surprise), because everyone feels sorry for the sick girl who’s being neglected (barf).

It won't flush or give blood which means it's clotted or clogged up, nothing super rare and special.
So I guess she's going to get that port accessed finally and PICC removed.

Well there is not college degree in dog training so a college education isn't really a pre-requisite.
Per google, there are some dog training courses/certifications and doing a lengthy apprenticeship is generally recommended.
Service dogs are expensive for a reason. Unfortunately the rules (at least in the US) seem to be incredibly lax and people seem to think they can save themselves a few thousand dollars by training a dog themselves. I am sure there are some people who can do it successfully but there seems to be a lot of people who think they can teach their pet to open a door (even if they can open it themselves) and call it a service dog.
The people with poorly trained dogs seem to be the ones who throw the biggest fits and threaten lawsuits when someone dares to question it

He is truly stuck in childhood. He has an insane number of toys for a grown adult. He decorates his room and chair in childish superhero fabric and tape. And he now carries a stuffed animal around, dresses it up, and has playdates with it. He is living the little boy childhood he wishes he had.

>>438654
>>438664
Most adults forgo the tray - it is typically only seen in young kids and half the time that is simply to give them a table-like surface since child-sized furniture in classrooms does not always accommodate a wheelchair. I have seen some adults with hemiplegia post stroke being given sort of half-trays for positioning purposes. But he went out and got the full tray and has it on his chair all of the time - even during his precious wheelchair soccer games when it is totally not needed! In general he seems like he is trying to mimic the severely disabled children he saw when he was a child - it seems excessive. I don't doubt he has some physical limitations but not to the extent that he claims.

I don't get it. Tbh I don't really get the "fainting alert" of dogs, certainly not in POTS. Ok, someone distracted your dog. That's a bad thing. People need to be educated about service dogs. But honestly, I don't know if it's even possible to rely on the alerts of a dog that much. Now it was some person at the supermarket, but next time a cat might walk by. What do you do, sue the cat? I mean: dogs can be distracted, even more so when you're out and about. I know service dogs are trained very well, but still there are going to be situations in which even the best service dog needs extra coaching to keep his/her attention on it's handler. I mean: ALL medical aids and assistive devices can fail from time to time. If you use a powerchair it's electronics can fail. If you use an ostomy appliance it can leak. For most people it doesn't happen often, but it does. Of course it would suck even more if your powerchair broke down because of mishandling by the taxi driver or you have leak because the neighbours cat dug it's nails into it, but to most people that's just part of life. If one minute of distraction can cause her to faint and hit her head and she really has had concussions many times, she should make sure to protect herself. Even if that means using a wheelchair when she's out alone, until her symptoms are managed better or she learns how to predict her own fainting spells better (which she seems to be able to most of the time, btw).

Also: she (supposedly) has POTS. From what I understand, fainting in POTS is quite predictable. It happens a while after you stand up and maybe from standing for a long period of time. I know symptoms may vary from person to person, but most of the time if you're going to faint, go WILL notice it. You are lightheaded, get weak all over, start to sweat, there might be a ringing in your ears and your vision goes black.
Maybe for some people it can come on more sudden, but is it even possible to just 'go down mid-sentence', like she says happened?

I had to smile at the way she filled out that incident report: "someone distracted my service dog. I fainted". Like 'normal' people will understand that relation, lol. It's like saying "someone parked their car. I had a seizure", without explaining that they parked your car so close to yours that you couldn't get inside because she passenger door was busted and couldn't open anyway and you were staying with a friend and had your epilepsy meds in the car but couldn't reach them so you couldn't take them. Or something like that - just an example. What I'm trying to say is that without any further explanation, no one will know what she means by it or what to do with the report.

If you watch the video of her in the store, it doesn't add up. She is fine when speaking with the worker on film about her service dog. When that same worker stops giving her attention and speaking to her husband, she begins to have an attack. It can happen. I have POTS and faint. However, before I do my color changes, I cannot speak (sound drunk with word slurring due to lack of oxygenated blood flow to the brain), coordination is off, etc. She never experienced any of this. She resumes filming and lays down. Suddenly the attention is back on her. She never misses a beat or even a frame while filming. When you are about to faint, you are trying to stop it and not film. Sorry for the self blog but the story doesn't add up.

Also when you are about to faint you won't tell someone "actually……" and then gently lie down while repositioning the camera so you're still filming. not how it works at all.

Has nobody talked a it how ServiceDogPaws likes to go to the ER to get “saline” and do a LIVE video during it??? Talk about munchie. I don’t know if it’s too much to ask, but I’ve always assumed that if someone has to go to the ER, they’re probably to symptomatic to hold their phone and do a live stream for an hour to “entertain” themselves.

Also, on her dropping mid-sentence, I have never heard of someone with POTS-fainting drop mid sentence. Why? Because someone with POTS isn’t going to be coherent right before they faint. Also super annoyed that she lays on the ground after her totally legit service Dog “alerts” and then faints. If this was POTS, like she’d have us believe, laying on the ground should effectively KEEP you from fainting. Also why the hell does she not elevate her feet??? Basic POTS 101 ELEVATE YOUR FEET

This is also the third time she’s been taken to hospital in an ambulance since I’ve been following her (less than 6 months) and I am very confused??? She claims to not have insurance and that’s why she hasn’t seen doctors about her varying conditions, but keeps taking the ambulance despite her condition not being a life threatening one? I know people with POTS that make it a point to tell people not to call the ambulance because it is soooo expensive. How exactly is someone without insurance even affording all this munchiness???

It was uploaded on her IG November 13th, so it's not the same incident. It just seems fake to me. She was fine, talking and was able to place herself gently down, position the camera to continue filming and then fainted? Normally you are slurring, losing balance and having to get down fast before your body puts yourself down. Also ffs has she never heard of compression?

I know, all this "my dog alerts me when my heart rate goes up" reminds me of that time the baby sister of my friends wanted to play doctor with me (you've got a dirty mind! I mean the way kids do, not the adult's version..). She did a thorough physical while I was laying on the floor in their living room and after a while looked at me earnestly and gave me her diagnosis: "do you feel it, honey? You've got a tummy ache".

Whatever I tried, I could not explain to her the difference between a symptom and a disease. Which seems to be exactly the problem some of these munchies have. Of course, my friends' baby sister was six years old at the time..

She annoys me. She just does. Hospital selfie in this pic dated Sept 29th. She went to a parade and stood in the heat and those mean medics let her pass out. (I get it, POTS sucks. I have it. But keep your ass at home out of the hot sun during a parade.) So, she goes to the hospital for the sweet nectar of the Gods–saline! All was well, but the mean nurses won't give the queen a heated blanket! All is well though, because the next day she is well enough to go out power drinking at the bar for her bday! I mean drinking alcohol doesn't further dehydrate you or anything right? If you are so sick you have to to go to the ER one day, you are too sick to go out drinking! Claims she had one drink but people commenting say otherwise and no pics, which is odd considering you documented the ER visit, passing out at the store, riding illegally in the car with boxes and no seatbelt etc. I think power drinking doesn't play into the sick girl image!

My money is on one of two things

1) she called a nurse line and told them she had a port placed a week ago and has been running a fever for three days, to get them to tell her to go to the ER due to a possible blood infection / sepsis

2) she told herself to go to the ER in order to make the same claims there and try to get admitted while they wait for lab results

Good luck Trying this with the worlds least infected looking, quickest healed port autumn.

No. 439380

Or her picc infected..not the port.
Given how healthy she really is it would be a super uncommon thing for her port to be infected a week after placement when it has never been used.
Even if she tampered with the healing incisions it would have super low chances of getting infected. There's a chance it happened during the provides but that's slim and a week later is not normal..a true
sepsis episode usually comes on faster than a few days. She did look a little flushed but a low grade fever can do that..she claimed it went up into the 100's after three days of 99s

Also, blood cultures for suspected sepsis when a person has a central line is taken from the line and taken from the arm.
The cultures take up to a week.
Some growth will show up within 24hr, but they cannot look at the blood and say it's clean or showing growth with in hours..they also sent in her picc tip from inside for cultures. Whether or not she gets admitted at that point determines on her over all health..if she's got other symptoms of sepsis (high heart rate, low BP, dehydration, anemia, low white cell, high lactic acid, etc.) If her vitals shoe sepsis concern and if certain blood work levels are at concerned levels with suspected sepsis she would be kept for monitoring, repeat labs, cultures etc. Come the next day if things are stable and better she goes home on antibiotics and use of that port.

They don't take sepsis lightly.

And sepsis is very misunderstood by the general public. Sepsis is an inflammatory response to infection. It is not just the presence of bacteria but the presence and measurements of all of the other symptoms anon listed above which determine the severity.

Sage for graphic blogpost. Two years ago I developed severe sepsis (one stage before organ failure) due to pneumonia. I could not stop writhing and I was vomiting acid and bile. I certainly wasn't taking selfies and posting IG stories. I was two delirious with fever to know what a phone was.

Or just say she had and get the attention hit that way? Anyone with any dignity would just take the fainting option - still embarrassing but at least they'd be unconscious so wouldn't care.

Have come to the conclusion that, judging by this lot, we all need to get "deathly sick" and suffer eleventy-twelve out-of-ten pain episodes.

So many young girlies smiling winsomely up through the tubes, wide-eyed, innocent and oh so brave. Giving so much of themselves they selflessly share, ensuring all their sickpics are softly lit and alluring so we are not too shocked by the horror of their circumstance. Complete with 'Ol Yeller on the bed, 10x10 b&w art prints available now.

Much brave. So heart.

Fuck that. I look like a constipated frog with a wart problem when I have so much as a cold, and I'm bloody taking everyone down with me.

If you're not green, you're not sick. If you are green, we don't want to see it. Are they all self-starring in their own Victorian novel, having constant "fits of the vapours?"

I'd love to know what their families really think. Do they buy into this, or partially buy into it, or go along for a quiet life? And in the case of the US ones, who on earth pays?

Take a few minutes and check out all of the posts, including lengthy captions and comment threads. I’ve been watching for about 3-4 years now as the MBI has spiraled out of control. For example, the gofundme to get the dog is currently under investigation for fraud. Nearly $6000 raised in 2016 and the dog has never been trained. It is a pet. There have been at LEAST a dozen new “diagnoses.” And the latest thing, going on for a few months now, is the constant, shameless plugging/begging with Amazon Wishlist. It’s all repugnant.
