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.

GOD i wanna strangle them. maybe they think they're rare enough that they won't affect actual sick people, but apparently they're common enough that many doctors will ask legitimately sick people with unknown afflictions if they might be munchies and turn them away before exhausting all the options. yet somehow actual munchies are getting all the treatment they ask for, i guess because they're brats? they're costing people with sometimes FATAL afflictions precious time and resources because there's so many of them that many ER doctors will roll their eyes at any patient that doesn't know their diagnosis front to back. Maybe this is the kind of mental illness that takes over people's willpower, but if it's one of those syndromes that's really just a behavior pattern of fucking assholes then they have blood on their hands as far as I'm concerned.

No. 457414

All these people are commenting on her IG saying they’ve had C-diff like 5+ times…doesn’t that seem a little, I don’t know, farfetched? C-diff is only transferred through contact of infected feces to an open orifice (such as the mouth). How are all these dang munchies getting c-diff so often?

I'm sure it has nothing to do with her feeding tube station being a foot away from the toilet.

No. 457446

>>457414

c-diff doesn't necessarily come from direct contact with infected feces. A lot of people have c-diff bacteria in their system but never have any symptoms. If you take antibiotics you are more likely to get a c-diff infection. C-diff is fairly common in medical settings - if Aubrey has been spending a lot of time in the hospital then its likely she has come into contact with it. People with lowered immune systems are more likely to get a c-diff infection.
If munchies are getting c-diff infections often its probably a result of them spending unnecessary amounts of time in the hospital, turning to antibiotics for every little thing, or taking/doing other things that will weaken their immune systems.

She was on vancomycin for “sepsis” that most definitely was not, if anything she had the flu like thousands of other people right now (I think 35 states are experiencing outbreaks currently). But honestly she’s looked totally healthy at least the past week or so, not like someone who was seriously ill or even malnourished at all (if anything she’s gained weight recently).

No. 457472

>>457446
Now she’s got something people with CF get a lot, wonder if that’s a goal of hers. She’s obviously a fan of Mary Frey as well, she’s even been dressing like her and has a similar look (hair, glasses), complete with feeding tube, the same small bags for it, service dog, and oxygen when they’ll give it to her. She’s trying to be a cf girl but will never be since cf can’t be faked. Instead she’s munching her way into whatever gives her toys and hospital admissions. Let’s not forget she started out witj self-diagnosed Lyme, which got her a picc line and then a port, and things very quickly escalated, which is not how a real chronic illness works. You don’t magically develop symptoms as an adult unless you’re a spoonie (exception: legitimate autoimmune illnesses that can’t be faked because bloodwork).

No. 457484

And now we hear nothing about the Lyme whatsoever. In typical Jaquie/munchie fashion, she's moved on to bigger and better (read: more severe) illnesses. As soon as one gets boring, it's on to the next thing that will get me a week in the hospital

No. 457487

It’s honestly fascinating to me how they can go so quickly from one illness to the next, focusing on something more severe with the intentions of a new medical device or “tool” as they so adore to call them. How do you think they decide what to pursue as their next diagnosis?? I wonder what Aubrey would say if asked about Lyme, or Jaquie about Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome.

Not the OP but I think it that’s girl who’s super emaciated and claims it’s because of her eds/GP/chrons, I don’t remember her IG. She admits to a past eating disorder, but claims she’s recovered, but also talks about how she doesn’t want to gain weight. She’s also super demanding about her pain meds for her eds, but wants way more than anyone with eds would need. She puts absolutely no effort into maintaining a healthy weight, and blames her “illnesses” and medical care instead. Mother is a total enabler.

Guess who doesn’t want to be left out of having a crisis. Tbh, doesn’t look like an allergic reaction to me. Looks more like she rubbed her skin to make it red. Also, Benadryl doesn’t immediately fix mcas rashes, they stick around for a while.

No. 457768

>>457741
I don’t know the exact science behind it,but the mcas found in people with the eds/pots/mcas combo is suspected to be more related to autonomic dysfunction than a problem with the immune system like stand alone mcas or mastocytosis. I don’t know all the details (not a doctor), but there’s a slight difference in how the reactions go. And people with eds and mcas don’t have the same lab results as people with stand alone mcas, but have the same symptoms. Like everything related to eds, it’s still being researched apparently.

No. 457772

MCAS can be primary, secondary or idiopathic. In the case of comorbid conditions it would likely be considered secondary.
More info:
Frieri M (2015). "Mast Cell Activation Syndrome". Clin Rev Allergy Immunol. doi:10.1007/s12016-015-8487-6. PMID 25944644. Table 1
Classification of diseases associated with mast cell activation from Akin et al. [14]
1. Primary
a. Anaphylaxis with an associated clonal mast cell disorder
b. Monoclonal mast cell activation syndrome (MMAS), see text for explanation
2. Secondary
a. Allergic disorders
b. Mast cell activation associated with chronic inflammatory or neoplastic disorders
c. Physical urticarias (requires a primary stimulation)
d. Chronic autoimmune urticaria
3. Idiopathic (When mast cell degranulation has been documented; may be either primary or secondary. Note also that angioedema may be associated with hereditary or acquired angioedema where it may be mast cell independent and result from kinin generation)
a. Anaphylaxis
b. Angioedema
c. Urticaria
d. Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS)…
Recurrent idiopathic anaphylaxis presents with allergic signs and symptoms—hives and angioedema which is a distinguishing feature—eliminates identifiable allergic etiologies, considers mastocytosis and carcinoid syndrome, and is treated with H1 and H2 antihistamines, epinephrine, and steroids [21, 22].

She’s been given all the tools to get better, but has chosen not to. She’s also awful to medical professionals, and won’t admit that she’s still stuck in her eating disorder (and will be horrible to anyone who suggests it). I don’t feel bad for her at all, there are lots of people who wish they could have the treatments she gets and refuses to take advantage of/work with at all.

Yes it is sad, she doesn't seem milky. But genuinely ill and documenting her time in hospital and struggles etc; as opposed to showing off her illness and being proana.

No. 457802

>>457794
Yes, it’s considered secondary. There is a possibility that it’s its own type of mast cell disease connected to eds and autonomic dysfunction that is being looked into. What’s interesting is that munchies always have mcas that has the exact same symptoms as the generic list anyone can find on the internet, very unspecific to them (“I react to everything”), and aren’t on any of the standard treatments except going to the er more than reasonable and the favorite iv Benadryl (that gives you a buzz).

No. 457803

>>457795
You don't seem to fathom that EDs are extremely hard to overcome and that it affects your mindset. She may know she needs to get better but not feel comfortable changing her routines and habits that are hard to break. The fear of her body changing is probably making things hard for her too. Some anas dont even want to get better because their illness makes them think skinny is the only way to be.

No. 457806

>>457798
Except all the posing to show off her low weight and general bratiness. There’s no reason for her to be at that low of a weight unless she’s choosing to. She’s definitely sick, but her eating disorder is what’s killing her.

I see a lot of these kind of pictures of people with a flushed face saying they have a "mast cell reaction." Is this a thing for MCAS? I assume it's more than just being flushed, because getting flushed all of a sudden is not uncommon. I could make at least five pictures every week of myself with a very flushed face, that's not related to anything medical. It's just called being tired.

>>457791
O wow. She was pretty. I agree it's painful to look at her now. I looked at her Instagram and as another anon said. it's a mixture of hospital/sick pictures and of candy and cookies. Yet she is on TPN and can't eat? I don't really follow her and also didn't really read the posts, but it seems like she eats a lot of candy? Does anyone follow her? Does she chew and spit? Or can she somehow eat candy but not soup, bread and crackers? I don't know, but even looking at her makes me sad. She also seems to be very happy that she has found doctors who do not think it is 'just' an eating disorder. Erm.. there is no such thing as 'just' an eating disorder. Eating disorders are more deadly than any mental condition in the book. More people die from eating disorders than from gastroparesis.

In general, it seems to be mostly people who are not that skinny who tend to use GP to cover up their eating disorder. I always assumed it was because a physical condition gains more symphathy than a psychological one, unless you are clearly severely anorexic and starving. But she is. If she would admit she still struggles with an eating disorder (and maybe/probably with GI problems as well, which makes it even more complicated) she would get pretty much the same amounts of ass pats just because of how extremely sick she looks.

Do we have screenshots of her saying she doesn't want to gain weight?

Tilt table will show false negative if the person is in remission, but then they obviously don't need any treatment.

I think that's a quote of the person she replies to, though? No matter what, that dude is very funny.

What are the theories anyway as to why this type of munchie-ing is almost exclusive to white girls? There's plenty theories about why it affects mainly women, but what about the ethnic differences? I know FII is by default very difficult to research as there's limited data since so few people will admit to it. That's mainly true for adults though, maybe there's data for children and teens? I wonder if the ethnic difference is unique to the US (and other countries that are predominantly white but also have a large black comminity) and whether that difference is still there when you control for socio-economic status and/or things like whether someone has health insurance or not. I get the impression most munchies that we discuss are either relatively affluent or come from a background that is. I could be wrong though.

Mum has a history of hoping her kids will 'fail' a test.

You know.. I get being sick and wanting to know the cause of it. So yeah, sometimes that means you hope the tests will show something. Just because that means you can get treated and can go on. Being sick is no fun, and being sick without knowing what's wrong is even worse.

But there's a difference between hoping a test will show a treatable condition and a) hoping to 'fail' a specific test; b) broadcasting your 'secret hope' on the internet and c) doing that for someone other than yourself.

How about: "whatever the tests show, we hope the results will lead to the right kind of treatment". Or: "we don't care what is says, as long as it'll help the doctors to help her." Or: "we hope ultimately the tests will show a condition that's either self-limiting or easy to treat"? Something like that may mean the same thing, but it doesn't sound as creepy.

Hi, original poster here! She’s my “favorite” munchie in a sense because it seems like she’ll talk about something I’m dealing with/have dealt with and I’m just like…that’s not that serious.
She is pretty heavy, tbh. She’s at least 200 pounds at five foot something so I wasn’t sure if maybe she could have lost the weight in a week because of obesity. I would love to hear what her doctors say about her weight.
It just really pisses me off that there are so many people who are horrifically ill- like actually sick- that can’t get the kind of medical care she wastes. She goes to Mass Gen, one of the best hospitals in the country, because oh my god she threw up a few times?

20% education? You must be a very generous person. To be honest though, I don't see it. The only part that could be considered educating is the fact that she tells and repeats what a service animal is under the ADA. And the difference between an SD and an ESA. That's more like 2%. I don't know if it should be considered educating though if she herself abuses the huge loophole that is the ADA.

O, and you forgot bitching, but you probably meant to cover that in the shouting at people?

I'd propose:
2% educating
30% lying at the floor in public
10% dangerous driving
10% very boring shopping clips
8% "bad parenting caught on tape"
10% complaining about symptoms, doctors or other more general medical talk
30% seeking out or staging conflicts surrounding her SD so she can bitch about it.

I was looking at that reaction and then noticed the kind of bandaid she was using. It looked like a generic beige one. I literally said to myself "have to remember that; if she'll claim EDS in the near future, that will prove her skin isn't as fragile".
Most EDSers I know will use either band aids for sensitive skin (the white ones) OR not use them alltogether and use e.g. self-adherent wrap with some gauze that doesn't stick to the skin or some other special-order or home-made alternative.

Of course there are EDSers who can use band aids, especially if it doesn't stay on the skin for too long. But if she is going to claim fragile skin as a symptom of EDS, her choice of band aids is a bit odd to me.


Who else predicted long ago that Aubrey would try to claim EDS? She stretches almost religiously and - even more odd - does it on camera (and while she is in hospital) so everyone can see she is flexible. (Not EDS-flexible, imo. But I've seen some slight hypermobility in her fingers in some postures when she supports her neck.) I just KNEW this was coming. EDS can be her ticket out of medical obscurity with her controversial 'chronic Lyme' diagnosis. Her story doesn't add up though. She was standing on one leg while stretching her other leg against her IV pole just yesterday (in yesterdays vlog, to be precise). That requires quite a lot of stability and muscle control. If she would have EDS (which she doesn't) she would have to be pretty much asymptomatic. And right now she claims her POTS and GP are caused by her chronic Lyme. IF she gets a diagnosis of EDS, would they then be caused by her lax connective tissue? Or would she do a Chloe and claim that Lyme changed her genetic make-up and caused EDS?

Argh. I wish these munchies would get off the EDS train already. It's getting tiresome. The diagnosis doesn't mean a thing anymore. The more that diagnosis is given to people who just happen to have some hypermobile joints (just like about 10-30% of the female population, depending on ethnic background), the more doctors will think that (h)EDS is "just being hypermobile".

Munchie in the wild! From a Facebook thread, where a woman was talking about getting into doing full makeup to get color back into her face, after dealing with cancer for years. This chick showed up about halfway down.

'I'm so glad u posted ur comment! I'm 31 but look much older with wrinkles I shouldn't have until I'm waaay older Because of all the things Ive been through health wise wise my MANY autoimmune diseases, mainly right now dealing with mixed connective tissue disease (which is a overlapping of all the hard hitters like lupus, scleroderma,ECT feels like MS) plus I have adrenal insufficiency,and a ton of GI problems that first started with Celiac disease,but after many complicated tests(still ongoing)I've been diagnosed with chronic gastritis, psuedo obstruction, gastroperisis,and more but my point is putting on makeup makes me feel better about myself,like me again,and most people say but u don't look sick! Which is a compliment,both good and bad cuz they don't believe when I say I'm too sick to do things. But anyway you're NEVER too old to put on makeup like this.
I actually was going to be starting my own youtube channel doing makeup tutorials and lifestyle channel but I don't have the equipment or can afford the equipment to start it.
My Drs suggested it to me last year when I was about to turn 30 as a way to keep my mind off my chronic PAIN (I'm also in a wheelchair now from once being a dancer)but I feel weird starting a go fund me page asking for help,so I haven't gotten to do it.but another reason why I was going to start it was because I had a dream of being a cosmetologist/hair stylist my entire life! From kindergarten fashion show I asked my mom if I could go as a nail lady but we couldn't figure out how so I went as a mommy,) another dream I'll never get to full fill,) so since I'm to sick to have my dream job because I can't hold down a real job, youtube was going to be my way to full fill it ?but u have to have all this equipment and a laptop which I also don't have,to do it. ANYWAY you keep being u cuz I know life is short ( ive almost died. 5times septic,honey I could write a book but wouldn't want to rehash it!)and if doing ur makeup like a pro makes u happy, keep it up!

Her dependance on the friend has always seemed a bit odd. I believe the unicorn.spoonie IG is either almost completely run by Kat. The friend's personal IG doesn't use illness/disability hashtags - and while she refers to Kat as a best friend there is another girl who she also refers to as a best friend and posts pictures of more often especially recently.
I think Kat is pretty jealous of the friend. I believe they met at a camp for the blind/visually impaired. Her friend has a undisputed and uncommon medical issue and also seems to have good family support. Kat doesn't have great family support and I think is envious of the support that her friend gets. She seems to be another one who is hoping that if she was just sicker then her family might pay more attention to her. Unfortunately she seems rather annoying and demanding/entitled which probably doesn't make her easy to be around.
It is as if Kat secretly hopes she could be her friend - the friend likely has to have frequent biopsies/cyst removals. Kat probably convinced one doctor to biopsy a mole and is now declaring she had MOHS surgery. Its just always weird that she hashtags the friends illnesses when the friend doesn't usually do it

Karolyn claims EDS, but doesn't say which kind and PTSD. Based on her website, #HospitalGlam appears to be some kind of attempt at a social movement and an attempt to make fun of the fashion industry (always something I can get behind, ha), but she seems a bit misguided.

I don't see any photos that appear to be in an ER. She claims to be an artist, so I'm guessing she has a friend who has access helping her.

She doesn't complain in her posts but writes things that advocate for healthcare, women, etc. She's more of an advocate than any of the usual "advocates" mentioned around here.

I'd much rather see these than yet another photo of a picc line or a video about a near-death heart rate a la Amy Nicole, whose "heart almost killed her" last week.

The rest of this is Karolyn's, not mine. She writes:

karolynprg#HospitalGlam examines the role image plays in our medical treatment. "Glam" references the poses and their similarity to fashion photography, the fact that chronic illness does not fit the traditional visual conception of sickness, and that we live in a place where healthcare is a luxury good. #hospitalglam is political.

what are your thoughts on docs who specialize in pots, eds, mcas, and gp? does it seem to you they'll diagnose anyone for the money and expensive treatments?

I have a friend on facebook who was diagnosed with the trifecta back in september, immediately started cromolyn, beta blockers, couple other expensive meds. She's gotten a myriad of testing done, most recently an upright mri that showed 4 mm chiari. I asked what her neuro thought about this, only to find out she hasn't seen neuro at all. Her primary (as she calls it) diagnosed her with all this. The doctor is an ND and this girl sees her once a week. This to me seems like a total money grab for the doctor. She's convinced this girl she's disabled (she's applying for a service dog), that she needs crutches to walk (I saw her walk across stage at graduation, she's good), and that she needs expensive meds like cromolyn (she's gotten a rash maybe once, but hey, eds and pots? must have mcas)

did I mention she diagnosed classical EDS without genetic testing? Yep. I'm not gonna post screenshots for privacy reasons (she only posts on her personal fb, no insta) but this enrages me. This girl might actually be sick but she is abusing the system to get the best treatment for something that might not even help.

You mean she tubes herself without her doctor ordering/prescribing it? Because putting in and changing your own NG tube in and of itself isn't special. One could even argue it's a non-munchie thing to do, because you would expect a munchie to want to have a nurse come by to do it so they can have the attention of a health professional.

Guess all of us wheelchair users just sit at home and do nothing all day. Ever see the Paralympics?

When you have a mobility issue, and balance issues, you use a wheelchair and a service dog to help adapt. Using a dog to do tasks that are impossible to do in a wheelchair, unless you have some custom $10k hyper mobile one, is pretty much the norm these days for people with physical disabilities.

Stop painting all wheelchair users with the same brush because that’s what it looks like from someone who has used a cane for 30 years of their life so far.

A primary doctor can't specialize… by definition? I saw an electrophysiologist who specializes in POTS, a geneticist who specializes in EDS, and an immunologist who specializes in MCAS for my diagnoses. These people specialize in disorders because they conduct and publish research about them. They are less likely to give a false diagnosis in my opinion, but you can always find a doctor who will give you that dx. I wouldn't call that doctor, or a primary physician, a specialist.

in my uneducated opinion, POTS can be diagnosed by a primary. It's not hard to lay a patient down, take pulse, then stand and take pulse over 10 minutes. And the treatment is basically water and salt, so nothing more usually needed.

No. 460292

There’s also tests for breathing (how it affects heart rate I think), sweating, and a few other things that differentiate between PoTS and simply being orthostatic (which can happen for a number of reasons in totally healthy people, including very simple dehydration]. It’s not as simple as the tilt table test or sitting to standing heart rate and blood pressure. Of course that’s probably why there are so many cows claiming pots, because they haven’t had the full testing by an actual specialist.

I know nothing about gastric stim surgery (just enough to refuse to call it a pacemaker - next we'll be calling a spinal stimulator for nerve pain a 'pain/nerve pacemaker'). But I assume since it's abdominal surgery that it's not done as an out-patient thing regardless, or am I wrong about that?

I don't understand why doctors do this kind of surgeries on patients with eating disorders. I'm not a doctor, but if I was, I'd have them tested in and out to make VERY sure any delay in gastric transit isn't caused by ED behaviors. Even past behaviors, as they tend to resolve on it's own through refeeding.

Someone needs to find a way to do some sort of blind challenge on this patients. Like have a nasal tube with both jejunal and gastric ports and gradually switch from J to G feeds without them knowing to see if that solves the problem. Or at leat without them knowing how fast it will occur, or maybe by alternating and see if reported symptoms make any sense or not.

Patients should probably be observed 24/7 during a test like that though, so I'm not sure if that would be feasible. But I really think there's a clear need for some sort of procedure like that. If the patient gives consent, it could be done ethically. (And if the doctor makes it clear that no invasive treatment will be done without a challenge like that, patients will probably either stop asking for invasive treatment if they know they will 'fail', or consent.)

Of course, one could just start by having them observed for a week or so in either the hospital or an eating disorder clinic to do some sort of challenge with oral feeding.

I mean, even I learned during my (psych) studies about possible physical effects of eating disorders. So I assume MD's and dieticians to know about this, too.

I always tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. So I'm willing to suspend my disbelief and say that it is possible for her to have some kind of digestive problem right now. However, we know without a doubt that she didn't need her feeding tube in the first place. Who knows, maybe her current problem is even caused by her tube?

So, I have a friend who has an NG tube, who showed me this vid from Chronically.Ams. There are lots of problems with it, including her non sterile precautions (sterile water doesn't actually sterilise things). Also drainage bags which use gravity are supposed to hang below the stomach to work and hers is only shoulder height (which is why she uses the syringe to get her stomach contents out, ana much?) and hers is apparently much too thin to be effective at draining. This plus the fact she always shows a tube in a pre opened packet makes me suspect she's bought one to insert/remove at will for videos like this.

And most of all, if someone needs an NG tube, and needs to be able to reinsert it themselves, a medical professional will show them how, not a munchie cow on YouTube. I'm sure the ana chans are taking notes though.

She really is the perfect example of how you can have EDS and also munchausen's. I can't stand to give her views but if she's finally left the UK, I bet her local services were sobbing with relief to see the back of her.

If only Chloe Leanne and Chloe Print Lambert would emigrate! Not that either of them has an actual illness, but the anachan plus munchie toxic combination makes them especially sickening.

Just adding another perspective for this:
In my hospital system, a lot of the “PCPs” that work in the clinics are often Emergency Med doctors who also work in the ER. They will often schedule tests and treat conditions that they know about since it takes awhile to get in with specialists, they have wide, but specific knowledge (even about some chronic things), and they have ordering rights within the hospital system. They will however allow the specialists to interpret the tests and give the formal diagnosis, although the patient only hears it from the “PCP” and it appears as if the diagnosis comes from the “PCP” on the medical charts.

Honestly, I feel like it makes everything easier just having to see a single doctor who consults others, but - if done wrong by the doctor / type of doctor or if the patient is manipulative - I can see that it’s problematic.

You're right, it isn't a sterile procedure. However, Amy is touting it as though it is and promoting poor hygiene practices.

How many young girls are going to think that sterile water will sterilize equipment etc?

There's a comment on her IG of another girl saying she sent my the NG tube she's touting in videos. Plus, she is blatantly lying about the fact she only gets sent those NG tubes for draining by her feed company - she's said in videos that her feed company only keeps the small size ones. But funny that the one she shows that she allegedly gets from her feed company is the same as the one given to her by a friend.

And as above regarding the drainage. She's posting about her weight loss now, saying she's losing weight (again). No wonder, she's never connected to her feeds.

No. 460807

>>460792
People can be nice and not OTT and still be munchies, but there’s also the likelihood that she - or anyone who isn’t OTT - was incorrectly diagnosed. Purely hypothetically speaking, but for most non-munchies if a doctor says “you do/do not have x,” they don’t go above and beyond to prove or disprove that. They just trust that their doctor knows better than they do - something OTT munchies have an incredibly difficult time doing, since they’re all just so much smarter than the doctors.

No. 460816

>>460792
Even with mild EDS suspension from any limbs would be impossible or extremely dangerous. I don't think anyone with EDS is easily able to hang from their arms (like in a pull-up position or monkey bars) without their shoulders hanging out of their sockets and you would absolutely notice something was wrong.

I have however known numerous people with EDS who were masochists. People who actually have it tend to have a much higher pain threshold than the average population so maybe that's why it's enticing.

I would say close to impossible in both situations for eds. Both joints and skin are unstable, even in heds with the skin (you have to have skin fragility in eds, it’s not just the joint hypermobility). And if someone with eds was able to manage that, it’d be incredibly painful, and they wouldn’t want to do it.

POTS and other forms of dysautonomia are more common and not necessarily genetic. EDS is much less common and is always genetic. Like all these heds cows, which one of their parents has it? Because you pretty much have to have at least one parent with it (as multiple genes are suspected and that’s not likely to happen spontaneously), although they may have it much milder and be undiagnosed.

Speaking of old cows and new…

Can anyone recommend some good, non-munchie or massively OTT accounts to follow? And yes, before anyone kicks off, I get that it's not the point of the thread - not suggesting we go completely off topic, but I would appreciate knowing who is not a nauseating mess.

For example, I follow @strongerthanpots and I like her account because it's not self pitying, she works on staying stable but doesn't pursue endless new doctors and devices, and while she did take some time out of uni, she seems to have gone back pretty normally now and be reintegrating into life. I don't mind accounts where people post about their health, personally, but it's hard to sift out the non irritating.

Seeing someone who claims eds and is covered in braces in a wheelchair immediately makes me suspicious, as people who actually have eds are very much warned against that, because that’s the quickest way to worsen eds symptoms and consequently pain.

Chilliellie on instagram for an EDS munchie. She’s even been told she will be refused treatment from NHS a&e if she comes in because she’s in a&e every other day. Either fakes seizures or ‘attempts’ suicide to get medical attention. She posts about how no doctor believes her and how she has her wheelchair regularly taken away and has to drag herself on the floor on her bum to get around. I feel sorry for her in some ways because she has genuine mental illness, but not the kind she thinks she’s got. She very clearly seeks out medical attention to fulfil a lack of attention in her own life. She used to post about how staff gave her diazepam rectally during a seizure as if she enjoyed it.

Nah mate, symptoms that continue after the infection is gone are actually a thing
Chronic lyme is where charlatans claim the existence of lyme antibodies = existing infection that must be treated with long term abx. Despite there being no evidence of chronic lyme infection being a thing or that long term antibiotics benefit lyme patients. Also those lyme antibody tests are pretty much meaningless and, as we've seen with cows before, tests can be negative and still positive according to "lyme literate" docs.

It's quite common for there to be some "crossover" symptoms. Like cEDS patients can have subluxation of joints, hEDS patients can have cEDS-style scarring or minor organ involvement (more serious in vEDS).

But it doesn't sound like she is getting her precious tube right now does it?
I don't know much about gastric stimulators but are they completely under the skin? How visible are they? It may get her some spoonie validity points online (but she doesn't even seem to be very successful at that). If it's not super visible then its not going to get her the "I look super sick" points she has been aiming for with a feeding tube.
And sadly I wouldn't be surprised if she has very little support through the surgery - I could see her dad going with her as she will likely need someone to drive her home (is this the kind of surgery that will require an overnight stay?) but I doubt the supposed boyfriend of 14 years will make an appearance. I'm sure she will come up with some excuse like he has to work but if you are in a good relationship and the person you love is having surgery you find a way to be there. She sadly will likely have to recover at home alone.
And seriously how does she not know what the other procedure she is having done is? Can't describe it more than "cuts open the one valve"? I would assume they would give her some sort of paperwork with the names of the procedures being done - but she couldn't be bothered to take the 2 seconds to look it up.
On one hand she drives me crazy because she is obviously someone with mental illness that is spending time and resources chasing imaginary physical problems. On the other hand I feel a little bad for her - I think that her mental illness has driven most people away from her (at least per previous reports here) and since she isn't the sharpest tool in the shed and she is so caught up in the fact that something is wrong with her (I do believe she is actually convinced that she is seriously ill - she sits at home and perseverates on every minor ache and pain thinking it means she is dying) that she isn't really capable of questioning if these procedures are needed. The doctors are going off what she reports which isn't accurate. She will let them cut in to her for any reason when what she really needs is a better therapist and someone to help her find the right mix of meds.

Though depending when that post was from I don't get how she got to see him because he has been semi retired for some time and even if you're paying you can no longer get on his waiting list.

It might just be a ct scan or MRI to look for more benign tumors (if this one was cancerous, they wouldn’t be waiting, they would have done a PET scan a while ago). She manages to at least embellish everything. My guess is that the colonoscopy is to try and find where her “extreme pain” is coming from, since there’s no medical reason for it. Or they also think she’s full of shit, and just want to confirm.

She said she was scheduled for a gallium scan, as those kind of tumors don't show up on a normal CT scan.

In the interest of full disclosure: I am partial to the theory that she DOES have cancer, but that she is loving every minute of it.

However, I too find it strange that they canceled her scan in lieu of a colonoscopy. As a lay person, I would've expected them to do a scan before her surgery. Because IF she had other tumors, then maybe they could remove them all during the same surgery?

I don't get the prep though. She's been on TPN and though she had been eating some stuff, I'd expect it to be clear stuff mostly, like broth and jello. She would hardly need a prep after that. I also agree that no hospital would put her through bowel prep if she couldn't sit up and was in so much pain. That would just be torture.

But I also think they are kind of desperate to find anything to explain the fact that she can't tolerate her feeds. They wouldn't just sent her home with TPN when there's no explanation for this, so they are probably trying to find out what's wrong before they discharge her. No doctor likes to discharge a patient whom they know won't be getting any nutrition at home. But there's also no medical reason thus far that would explain why she couldn't just run her feeds (or eat, for that matter) so they are probably grasping at straws here.

Sorry but she’s straight up lying. Cancerous Neuroendocrine tumors ARE treated with radiation and chemo….. they run in my family. Why should hers be any different?
Right after surgery my Aunts Merkle Cell areas were radiated.. it’s called adjuvant therapy. And they didn’t wait to do a PET scan, so why they would wait for her is beyond me as well. As for my other aunt, she had “targeted therapy”, after her surgery, radiation AND chemo, which is a treatment that targets the tumor’s specific genes/proteins/tissue environment helps it growand survive..

So…. case in point… why she is lying about cancer is so low.

Yep, this is 100% lying. I wouldn’t be surprised if she has a few benign lesions and is amping it up. She also just refers to them as “tumors” and “cancer”, without reference to grade or type. Is it pheochromocytoma? Is it merkel cell? Is it neuroendocrine carcinoma? Malignancy requires some form of treatment. She talks about “injections to prevent regrowth” but (a) what “injections” would she be referring to?, (b) neuroendocrine tumours (and cancer in general) isn’t generally a repeated occurrence (recurrances don’t happen for everyone) so why is she predicting that it could return? All of this is way too fishy. It reeks of “I have a few benign lesions and I just have to have some injections but IT IS TOTES CANCER”

And how can she claim that it isn't metastatic if they haven't done a full body scan to make sure there aren't any other tumors? Wouldn't they have to first check to see if there were other tumors and then test them to see if they are related to the initial tumor.
It is odd that she doesn't talk about what stage the tumors were. I think it is possible that if the tumor was caught early and hasn't spread that surgery and regular follow up is all that is required. That being said its not super common to find a PNET tumor early - Aubrey undergoes so many unnecessary medical tests that I wouldn't be surprised if they found it early.
I am not sure if it is or isn't cancer - even if it is it think it was caught so early that the likelihood of it being fatal is small. And she is probably thrilled about that - she gets to claim cancer without having to undergo any of the usual associated treatments.
Regardless I think it is very suspicious that she hasn't had a full body scan yet. If they thought they could wait a few weeks to remove the tumor they certainly could have fit her in for a variety of scans prior to the surgery - after all if you find more tumors you might be able to remove them all at once to avoid undergoing anesthesia multiple times. Plus knowing if there are more tumors would help figure out if it was malignant cancer which could alter the course of treatment.
She may have cancer but she is definitely BSing as well.

Aubrey literally can't function when she's out of the hospital, and now the bitch is faking cancer. You literally can't be scummier than that. Having a bad day every once in awhile and taking the time to rest or mentally deal with the stress and pain that comes with chronic illness is acceptable.

There is more to it than that though; not all PNET cases are the same. Aubrey mentioned that her tumors were entirely resectable (removed whole without disturbing margins) and that they were non-metastatic, and in this case, surgical resection can be the only treatment needed.
In the screenshot in >>464514, she states the correct clinical trajectory in her reply comment: "1st line of treatment is to remove it and then further treatment depends on what grade the tumor is / if they were able to get all of it surgically."

I think people need to settle down with the "ZOMG 100% LYING" accusations. None of us know for sure. Speculate away, everyone, but please don't make definitive assertions without adequate knowledge.

That said, is she loving the fuck out of this? Oh hell yes, she is clearly thrilled and getting off on the attention and drama of it all, but does that mean her tumors are not malignant? No. We just don't know without her pathology report.

TL;DR: Her story is feasible from a clinical standpoint.

She is in the Texas Cancer Center (whatever it's called) system, which is a HUGE network, but they follow national protocols, research clinical trials, and if a PET scan or whatever can wait, it waits. If she needed it yesterday, she would have had it yesterday.

She was supposed to have the gallium scan before her surgery, but her feeding tube issue caused her to be hospitalized and when you have cancer (or an oncologist involved in your care who belongs to Texas Cancer Center), they stick you on that floor because NO ONE ELSE will touch a Texas Cancer Center patient while they are in cancer treatment. The oncologist runs the show. Full stop.

Now, this is not totally true (i.e., if you live out of town, you might go to your local hospital for a blood transfusion, react to that, be admitted, etc.), but I guarantee the doc at that hospital is on the phone with your oncologist. Or, if you run into a crappy hospitalist doc, they may arrogantly try to treat you, but your oncologist will be pissed.

I believe Aubey's family (her parents) live states away, so unless she's asked them to get on a plane, I don't think it's that easy. All the locals have new babies, so they should not be visiting her while she has mystery fevers, rumors of c.diff, and all that but some still are, as evidenced by paining with the young nephew. Her mother-in-law and a friend of the MIL have been walking the dog daily in the mornings, so enough with the "no one visits." She had a room-full for the tumor goodbye party.

I guess what I'm saying is that if you want to rail on Aubrey at least watch her videos or get the facts as they are being told straight. (If she is lying, at least get the lies straight.)

When has she had a biopsy? To play devil's advocate, the Texas cancer center will treat a wide variety of conditions, not just cancer. Certain blood disorders and benign tumors are among them. I received chemotherapy for SLE and saw an oncologist at TCC, for example, even though I didn't have cancer. I'm not disagreeing with you anon, just saying that the fact that Aubrey is under TCC doesn't necessarily give weight to her claim of malignancy.

If you’re going to come in here with your creepy-ass Aubrey obsession, maybe you’re the one who needs to get their facts right. And I quote: “hospitalized for problems with her feeding tube.” She was hospitalized because she was malnourished, apparently to a critical point, yet here she is today, looking pretty fucking healthy. It’s medically impossible to recover from severe malnutrition to the point of needing tpn in under two weeks. And that feeding tube? She’s never run it faster than the rate they prescribe to infants. An adult who is feeding tube dependent needs to have a feeding tube running at least 60 ml/hr for 23.5 hours a day, which is impossible even in itself as it takes longer than that to set it up, especially having to fill up that tiny bag she uses multiple times. She is not and has never been dependent on her feeding tube or tpn, in fact while she’s been “starving” she’s been gaining weight, which can easily be seen. So take your white knighting and shove it.

Do YOUR homework. There is a huge difference between a MALIGNANT tumour (meaning actual cancer) and a BENIGN one (non-cancerous). Yes, this is included for a lot of tumours, like the one I had in my nose which was non-cancerous. Tumour does not automatically mean cancer. Stop equating them. They are not synonymous.

She didn’t state that the pathology report said it was malignant. She said it was non-metastatic, which simply means that it hadn’t spread. FYI, having multiple encapsulated, non-infiltrative, easily resectable NETs with zero lymphadenopathy and zero metastasis usually does not indicate malignancy. She’d also likely have chemo anyways to obliterate any remaining malignant cells.

inb4 she starts methotrexate or something.

No. 464822

>>464818
She’s said surgery was her only treatment, unless that’s changed. So I doubt chemo, but I’m sure we’ll know sooner or later. Although chemo doesn’t automatically mean cancer, either. But also, look at the probability. Her brother had the same thing, and his was benign. Those kinds of tumors are rare, even more so in young people. So her having cancer is just incredibly improbable. Is it possible? Yes, it’s possible, but considering probability and family history and her personal history, it’s very, very unlikely. She had two tumors that they took out, it’s not cancer, and unfortunately for her, she’s going to be totally fine and live a long healthy life unless she whines her way into long term TPN (that shit is bad if you don’t absolutely, no other options need it).

No. 464843

I’m not disagreeing with you or WKing. My post simply said what she’s provided to us on her public instagram suggests that this isn’t malignant, but she likely won’t share more anyway so we’ll always be guessing. Also agree with you on the TPN bit.

I feel like it is almost worse in the US?
In the UK because of the NHS barring some exceptions (i.e. CPL) most people will just get told to get lost. You can't just switch doctors, your medical records follow you everywhere. So whilst it is bad because time= money and time= time a doctor could be with a really ill person. (Especially atm, if a UK munchie is currently in hospital or using ambulances unecessarily they are literally scum we're having a hospital crisis).

In the US because you can doctor shop (seemingly even on government assistance?) and it seems easier (?) to fundraise via gofuckme for literally anything (!) AND because the US health system is the most expensive in the world a) no one seems to tell these patients to get lost so they stay in the system longer b) doctors are used to expensive 'solutions' like saline, ports, tubes that involve expensive management i.e. homecare, surgery etc.

So overall US munchies cost more and get their munchiness fed into more. Mostly in the UK you just can't do that (like I said, excluding exceptions).

Will post screenshots in a bit but CPL is coming off loads of her meds to try and concieve again.

There's a range of incomes and backgrounds even when you ignore the Breakspear Squad who are rich (MBV) or crowdfunding.

In the States, while there will be some abusing welfare of course, to succeed at MBI in particular you need far more drama and excitement, and more control over your treatment options (aka doctor shopping) than is possible on a low income. No one can copy Jaq without money.

They wanted to be called brave. They wanted to be called fighters. And more than anything, they wanted someone to acknowledge their actions, praise them and tell them they could be proud of it.

At the risk of having a lot of people say the very same thing to and about me:

I don't think that's fair.

We all believe different things. Some may think that cow X has factitious disorder, others think they have some genuine health issues but are really OTT about it, and yet others think they are either malingering or .. well, whatever they believe.

I happen to believe that Aubrey is a giant munchie and that she doesn't have anything she claims, except the cancer, unless it is proven that she doesn't. I also think she is loving every minute of her 'cancer warrior' status. I find it sickening how happy she is to add that to her hashtags. Yet I don't think she is lying about that one. I can give you my reasons for that, but that doesn't really matter right now.

I do however belief that her cancer diagnosis is more up for debate then most of her other health claims. Chronic Lyme, in the way she is presenting it, isn't even a thing (except a woo diagnosis) and it is very clear that she doesn't need a feeding tube just from looking at the feed rate she is using. Whether she currently has some pain or discomfort during her feeds is also up for debate, but what IS known is that in the days just before her most recent hospitalization she wasn't even trying. There's also clear evidence that she isn't malnourished.

The cancer diagnosis, IMO is more difficult to either proof or disproof. There is clearly something going on for her to be hospitalized for so long. So yeah, some of us think that this is one of the rare cases where the girl who cried wolf is actually sick. So I don't think it is fair to call someone who basically just says "tone it down a bit with the 'OMG she is lying about having cancer' because we simply don't know and there are indicators that can go either way" (and you may notice that they are not the first to say this, including a self-declared medfag) an Aubrey-admirer, lolcow, WK or say that they must be Aubrey. They simply said that some things that were being said here (like that she didn’t had a biopsy and therefore could not know if the tumor was malignant, or that she had no family visit at all, or that it can't be true because they weren't in a rush do operate - just so you know, if a tumor is slow-growing a couple of weeks don't make any difference outcome-wise). NOWHERE do they say that they think Aubrey is legit in any of her other claims, or that they like her.

We make some sort of a hobby out of finding out the truth about people who are lying online. We pick apart entire accounts to see if we can find out the truth. But if someone points out evidence that maybe the truth is a little different then the predominant opinion on lolcow, they basically get tarred and feathered.

Like I said; I don't just think that's fair.

But don't things like "She is lying about cancer, that's the lowest of the lowest" or "of course she is lying about having cancer", "someone needs to call her out on this, this is going too far" also indicate that people refuse to believe they may be wrong? A lot of people have been very vocal and very convinced about this.

I don't want to make it into a big discussion about how to or how not to speculate about someone's health - I am not the judge of lolcow. I just saw someone attacked who in my eyes just told people that some of the conclusions about Aubrey were based on the wrong facts. Now that conclusion may still be the same, but as Sherlock Holmes said: "it is a capital mistake to theorize before one has enough data".

I don't care if other people are convinced she does not have cancer. However just like I cannot be sure she actually has it, they cannot be sure she doesn't have it. And I think that someone who has another view might not be as inclined to defend someone if we all would word our views a bit more careful. I think a lot of discussion can be avoided by simply adding "I believe that.." or "I am convinced.." to a post instead of stating things as fact.

BACK TO ACTUAL COW-PRODDING.

Here is a recent post by Amanda, where with her healthy, clear skin and full cheeks, is whining about living off of less than 300 calories a day. Boo hoo hoo.

These ana-chan cows always mystify me, because they don't actually suffer under a physically mediated reduced appetite, and the way that they talk about it is clear. Judging it by calories and portion sizes is strongly reminiscent of intake control for anorexics.

When you actually have reduced appetite due to a disease process, there are different metrics you judge your willingness to engage in food, rather than how many calories. So nothing terribly out of the ordinary for the tube-fed anorexic crowd, but just one in the plethora of girls we've seen bravely parading their "malnourished" state.

But gotta get that sweet, sweet saline bag, ferried by her private limo service, given how often EMS must get called to her location. She's one of the many cows who spent at least a few days in the emergency room during Christmas, which again is a very very telling sign across the board for these bitches.

I tend to agree with that… kind of. I think her crazy munchiness lead to an abundance of medical tests that possibly revealed that she has the same type of neuro-endocrine tumors that her brother had. I do not think they are malignant. She found out way too early for them to definitively say it is cancer. I just can't imagine things work that quickly, but again, I am more behind the scenes on the financial side and not the clinical side, so I don't know how quickly this stuff gets diagnosed. But I think she is milking this for all it is worth.

True pancreatic cancer is quite terminal, isn't it? I just found out about a friend of the family who has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and he has been given 3-6 months to live.

I also know of a coworker who had pancreatitis and it was incredibly painful for him. He was out of work for a long time. I cannot imagine anyone vlogging during pancreatitis, even with drugs.

Regarding OTT spoonies.

I have two thoughts. One is, does anyone else have major doubts about Lara Bloom? I know she has a different strategy to the anachan brave lil fighters, but I am … not convinced she actually has EDS. She comes off as incredibly narcissistic and not really concerned with the illness, given how she follows many obvious munchies (e.g. actively and vocally supported Carmel with the EDS Society). She seems to me like someone who is potentially using very mild illness, probably benign joint hypermobility, for massive personal gain and self enrichment.

Second, I have also been checking out EDS UK and they seem pretty whack too. Lots of reposting from shite accounts like "chronicloveclub" which are breeding grounds for OTT and full on munchies. Real sick people aren't interested in that crap.

I'm no service dog expert - my only firsthand experience is with the mother of one of my clients. She's blind & has a seeing eye dog. That dog is a ninja. The first time I met the family, I didn't realize the service pup was there until halfway through our visit. I've sure never seen him play with toys or leave his spot under his owner's feet. Yet here is Aubrey's "service dog" chilling at the window, back to her, surrounded by toys. Seems legit.

Whichever anon was bitching about not knowing who Lara is - she's the top person of the EDS Society, constantly travels for them and attends events, is always networking and socialising, and so on.

It's cool for the dog to have some chill time, service dogs need breaks, but bringing a whole toy box full of toys to play with in the hospital? Yeah not necessary. I remember seeing a video of them playing fetch, IN THE ROOM. But yeah I think that's 100% unacceptable for it to be sitting on the furniture at the hospital. If the dog MUST stay with her, bring its own bed so it has a comfy place to chill.

Also her dogs nails are long as fuck and badly need a trim. She's at least cute…

If she supposedly has cancer, and they haven't done a PET scan yet/have no treatment plan other than surgery, how is she going home?

I mean, obviously she could be going home because she doesn't actually have cancer, just a benign tumor, and therefore the hospital doesn't want her taking up an Oncology bed.

Nope. I think the highest we ever saw was 25 ml/hr, which even at 24 hours a day (physically impossible) is only 900 calories. And she for sure wasn’t surviving on that, or she would have lost a shit ton of weight (she really lost little to none, if not gained).

Whoops I lied, the fastest she ever was at was 35. A whopping 1,260 calories a day if she was running it 24 hours a day, which is, again, impossible. Even continuous feeds have to be stopped to refill the bag or change sets, to give medication, and to shower. But she’s been everywhere from 35 to 15 ml/hr; most hospitals don’t discharge you after your first tube placement at less than 50 ml/hr. Normal for an adult with a gj tube is 80-120 ml/hour for at least 16-18 hours a day, since continuous feeds aren’t great for your gi system.

As far as her tube goes, she “accidentally” pulled out her nj tube in August (pics 1&2), and was left without one until over a month later (3&4). Those tubes don’t just come out, they’re taped way down, and they’re far enough into the small intestine that it’s lots of pulling to get one out. And no one who really needs a feeding tube is left for more than a day without one, let alone over a month. Also, she’s creepily elated to get a gj tube.

It's the only reason she's clinging to MALS. It's an excuse to not eat (or she sees it as one… People with it try to eat!) and a future surgery if she's extra special. Bitch doesn't even present like someone with MALS or mention pain that would be related to it at all.

Is she clinging to it, though? None of her other sooper serious diagnoses (POTS, MALS, gastroparesis, LYME) have been mentioned since she got the big C. Because sooper serious debilitating medical conditions are irrelevant when you're diagnosed with a PNET.

No. 465737

>>465729
Definitely the GP/MALS (both make it so to can’t eat much, but it’s odd to blame her go issues on both, and there’s been no specification which is causing problems), since that’s what she’s used most recently to wrangle a hospital admission. But the Lyme seems to be totally and completely forgotten, even though that was the start of her munchie journey, and that got her the picc line and then the port. It wasn’t originally for saline, it was for the heavy duty antibiotics her Lyme doctor had her on (an unproven treatment for an unproven disease).

No. 465751

>>465669
Absolutely not. It sucks that the OTT crowd has tarnished the reputation of saline infusion therapy. Some patients do not maintain adequate blood volume and saline infusions are a critical game-changer in their quality of life. Fuck these drama queens for even making people think this way!
TL;DR: It's a legit therapy, but OTT/Munch crowd gives it a bad name.

Kek, sounds like you get them.

There's a reason why they aren't available in the UK, just saying. For POTS/EDS, it's not a necessary treatment for like 99.9% of people, meaning that yes, those getting it are OTT. Especially if they use it for drama. There is a minuscule percentage who may genuinely benefit (sucks to them if they're British, sadly), but we have no way of knowing who that is, and I seriously doubt they even post it on Instagram.

Naltrexone is also a popular drug in alternative medicine. Seeing as she has chronic Lyme and sees a 'Lyme literate' doctor, that's probably why she takes (took?) it. The theory is that a low dose (LDN, for low dose naltrexone) teaches your opiate receptors to make natural pain relievers. Well, something lke that, anyway.

Gabapentin is an anti-epileptic, not a sugar placebo pill. It works well when utilised as a painkiller because it blocks the pain receptors in the brain.

That definitely looks like a baby bump because it’s lower than where the bloat would be if it was stomach bloating. Considering early pregnancy causes nausea, vomiting, and GI issues…I’m a little suspect.

No. 466027

>>466015
I agree it looks more like a pregnant belly than bloating. Normally I'd say she could be pushing her belly out and since she was pregnant not too long ago it's easier to do that and have it look like this. But I have to say she looks pretty relaxed for her to push her belly out and hold her breath.

She doesn't have a pregnancy line though, but it could easily be too early for that.

I don't know. Did she react to the pregnancy questions?

She may not pay for the ER visit. If her income is below a certain level, many hospitals will waive ER care. I would have went to a PCP versus ER if I were worried about paying out of pocket, but if I knew it were income sensitive the ER would be the better choice.

The 20/20 episode about Gypsy Blanchard is online

http://abcnews.go.com/US/young-wheelchair-bound-woman-treated-illnesses-ended-prison/story?id=52138979

She was seen by "at least 150 doctors" but only two were found to have questioned the legitimacy of her diagnoses. In response to one of them CPS visited once and found nothing amiss.

Her mother forged documents several times to alter her birthdate to make her younger and claimed that her medical records were destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Did none of her many subsequent providers pursued obtaining her records directly from her previous providers?

The show did not examine whether her ability to get away with it was a fluke or if the case reveals easily exploited weaknesses in the system.

We do not have a national system like that here but it's based off of private insurance plans. So each insurance plan has a 111 type service. It, too, is flawed, because the majority of the time they will tell you to go to an urgent care or an emergency room because they don't want to be sued if it is something that will cause death or major problems and they told them to just see their doctor in the morning.

Actually in most cases USA munchies are exploiting the Medicaid system which is free healthcare provided by the govt to ppl who are below a certain income level. Ppl with private insurance usually aren’t munchies because they have to pay out of pocket for a percentage of their BS. Medicaid is 100% free and terribly abused by poor and indigent ppl because, why not? It’s free!! Hospitals and doctors don’t report fishy shit by munchies because they can bill the system out the ass for pointless stuff and make big bucks. Doctors who specialize in Medicaid patients are famous for being shady and recommending pointless unneeded procedures just to make money.

I had a friend in college who had Medicaid, she had some pretty common female problem that could be solved with minor surgery. The doctor pushed her to have a total hysterectomy because he made $10,000 on those procedures but only $1,800 on what she needed. Luckily she knew that was bonkers and wrong, but I bet
lots of women would just do whatever the doctor suggested.

All hospitals accept Medicaid, so that’s why munchies can abuse the ER so much. Private insurance ppl have to pay $100 to $500 co-pay per ER visit plus a % of the hospital bill. Private insurance put in those copay fees to discourage abusing the ERs, Medicaid has no such thing and hospitals make a ton of money billing on pointless ER visits by Medicaid munchies.

I have private insurance and one of my first questions to a provider is if they take Medicaid patients, if they do I stay away. In most fields the good doctors in the USA only take private insurance patients. (Keep in mind Medicaid is for the poor, Medicare is for older people and a different ballgame entirely.)

Once the out of pocket maximum is met, services are covered 100% [pic related]. Munchies would reach the out of pocket maximum very quickly.

Medicaid is not available based solely on income in all states. Some states require that enrollees be on SSI (or have an application pending), be pregnant, or have dependent children. The ACA gives states the option to expand Medicaid to cover adults under 65 based solely on income, but not all states opted to expand their programs.

in the UK wheelchair services now only fund part of the cost of a wheelchair, or will provide a standard NHS manual wheelchair, measured to your body by an occupational therapist.

Electric/custom wheelchairs are covered through social services, but it is a very strict criteria, as in if you're mobile and not bedbound, you're not getting your own electric wheelchair off them, and even if you do meet the criteria, it is a 3 year waiting list.

the motability component of personal independence payment (the new DLA) - is specifically for people who score more than X amount on the "moving around and mobility" aspect, that specific chunk of money that you get paid monthly, goes towards hiring an adapted car, a wheelchair, or a mobility scooter.

tldr:
There is no need for anyone to be fundraising for a powered wheelchair if they live in the UK since the government gives you money to hire them if you genuinely need them.

I found a few munchie/OTT I’ve been following and am curious on all of your input. Can I just list?

First is on Facebook and not Instagram: Ella Arden Grace. Claims to have type 1 diabetes for 20 years, along with severe gastroparesis, autism, PTSD and a bunch of other shit I’m sure she’s convinced she has but doesn’t. The T1 and GP are real, but she very clearly manipulated her blood sugar and goes into frequent DKA. She has used glucagon in an insulin pump and an insulin pump at the same time. Ella claims to have “type 1 diabetes, subset type a, subset type brittle” and it is the worst in the world. She is very OTT in videos she posts in hospital and even at home, very fixated on everything medical. She has a port and like everyone else walks with it hanging out of her shirt. She gets herself into DKA, goes to different hospitals because doctors catch on to her shit, demands TPN and then gets caught and discharged. She lived in NY but is now in TN staying with a friend and once again doctor shopping. Ella’s had a feeding tube placed but claimed it caused her “800/10” pain and had it removed within a month. She is extremely OTT…cringingly so. I’d love to hear your opinions.

Next is munchie “mightylittlefighter”. Is from Canada, claims to have neurofibromatosis and has tumors in her digestive tract that have caused her to go on TPN. Except that the girl has never come out and said her diagnosis. She hasn’t tried tubes. Doesn’t answer questions. And very clearly has an eating disorder she’s trying to cover with TPN. There have been bits of information circulating from people who have proof that this Allie girl has manipulated her way into getting a line and TPN and that she has no underlying reason for TPN (no motility disorders or physical reason) other than her complaints of pain when she eats…again for no reason at all. It’s evident by taking one look at her that she’s skipping TPN infusions or clearly purging because she hasn’t gained any weight, and if you’ve been on TPN when you were “malnourished” you know that you pack on the pounds. Her pictures are all of her IV medications and talking about her sooper severe symptoms but again…no diagnosis when asked. Will avoid it.

This I need a line and TPN fad is getting old with the munchies. Not to mention that Allie has extensions on her line that are down to the floor. They are all a case of sepsis waiting to happen.

Happy searching!

Here are some of Ella. She is an avid fan of Facebook video, and her crying in pain picture is a whole video of her trying to make herself cry and screaming.

She also is very fixated on her nurses and seems to cling to them as maternal figures. Definitely juvenile and does not act her age..but speaks medical jargon like it’s no ones business. “At this point in time we’ll be starting an RER which is rapid electrolyte reusucitation and dispatching EMS with D10 on board wide open”.

There are many people who chose insurance plans that only cover basic care - but those aren't the people who know they have chronic illness(es).
I find the whole no insurance thing with her kind of fishy. If she is legally married to her husband she should be able to get health insurance through his employer (granted it may be super expensive and not a great plan). She said she got that health insurance plan on December 19th - most (if not all) health insurance plans typically start the first day of the month after you pay the first premium. Which means she cancelled the plan before she even tried to use it. It is difficult to figure out what health insurance plans cover (I have a higher level education and work in healthcare/am familiar with billing and I find it confusing) but most people discover their insurance plan is crap after they go to use it. If she researched it she should have known if it was good/bad and if she didn't she probably wouldn't figure it out until it was too late. Also if she is trying to get insurance through the marketplace she is running out of time because if she doesn't pick a plan by the end of the month she won't be eligible until next November and who knows what will have happened to the ACA by then).

Also how have multiple doctors told her she has GP if she doesn't have insurance. My guess is that she is using the no insurance thing as an excuse to not have tests done.

>>466577
Agreed - if someone truly has a medical issue that is negatively impacting their life they would try a little harder to obtain the funds to get the necessary tests/treatment - this does not include buying and stocking a large fishtank, buying giant cat trees, and getting your toddler over 30 presents for Christmas (a few weeks before Christmas she counted 27 presents plus 15-20 cars for his stocking and thought she would get more) - you shouldn't have to cancel a kid's Christmas for medical bills but no kid needs 30 presents - much less a toddler who doesn't even really understand whats going on

>>466611
I haven't heard of hospitals waiving ER fees recently (but I could be wrong). People without insurance used to use and abuse the ER because the ER can't turn you away but I think that hospitals figured out the loophole and worked to close it. Now I think they tend to bill you but they aren't necessarily allowed to aggressively pursue you to pay that bill and it doesn't have the same impact on your credit. Maybe she doesn't have a problem incurring a lot of debt? And I think they would wise up with a frequent flyer to discourage it as going to the ER for minor problems is a huge problem for ERs - it takes up time and resources that are needed for real emergencies. Generally people without insurance try to avoid doctors and ERs but she runs there for every little thing including her "broken EDS finger" - an ER visit with x-rays has got to add up.

>>466812

Umm I don't know where you get your information about Medicaid but it sounds like you have been drinking some of the kool-aid.
Yes there are some people who abuse the system - both patients and doctors but ultimately those people are in the minority.
Many of my clients (they are all children) have Medicaid - almost all of them have at least 1 working parent. We don't get reimbursed as much for Medicaid patients as private insurance or private pay. What I like about treating clients with Medicaid is that I have never had Medicaid decline treatment for a child as long as I show their is a need (and this often involves more paperwork for me compared to other kids). I have had plenty of families with private insurance have to cut back on services that their child really needs due to insurance not covering it. Of the hundreds of families I have worked with I think I have only encountered 1 that I felt was trying to work the system.
Lots of doctors these days take Medicaid - almost every major hospital network takes it. If you are going to cut out all the doctors that don't take it then you are going to seriously limit yourself and eliminate some good doctors (I wouldn't want to see a doctor who considers themselves above treating low-income individuals)

>>466860
Yes - private insurances usually have an out of pocket maximum that a munchie would reach quickly. Actually if you have Medicaid then being a munchie probably doesn't work out as great because you are much more limited in your ability to doctor shop and its harder to get non-standard treatments approved. Part of the reason why Dani hasn't gotten her precious feeding tube yet is that she doesn't have the resources to find a doctor who will do it.

All of the hospitals in my area have income charts they go by. If your income falls below a certain level, you can apply for assistance. It can be waived, lowered or denied. I had a friend who was a student and didn't make much money. He was able to have his entire fee waived due to the income sensitive program. He worked, but he didn't work enough. It could just be a poor regional hospital thing here. I don't know. If not SDP, will have some pretty serious bills to pay over time.

same fag but also, there's definitely a proper place for awareness, but it's not obsessively making sure everybody knows about all of your symptoms and calling your pet dog a service dog. That's not merely making people aware of what it means to have an illness. It's hitting them over the head with it and then wondering why you dont have friends anymore.

Thats crazy - also I doubt that a doctor would admit that they have only performed the surgery twice and certainly not that one time it wasn't fine. Doctors learn ways to skirt around those kind of questions - they are never supposed to admit fault. Plus it puts the doctor at high risk of being sued if something does go wrong.
The doctor didn't say there is a chance he could cut too deep or too long because he has only performed the procedure twice - he has to explain the possible risks and thats probably why he mentioned the possible complications.
It is sad that she probably wants there to be complications - nothing would make her happier than a medical emergency and a longer hospital stay. If what she is saying is true then it is sad that she would just go along with it without question. Her desire to be seen as super sick is so high she will let any doctor cut into her without question.

Exactly.

As to the "he's only done it twice and one didn't go well" - I imagine the doctor could've said something like "out of every two of these procedures, one does well and for the other it doesn't work" - something like that. Maybe he has said that he doesn't do much of these procedures or that it's relatively new to their hospital. That's not completely outside the realm of possibilities. But he definitely has NOT said to her "I've only done two of them and you have to know I am kind of a hack". Even if a patient would ask a doctor flat-out how many times they did X procedure, most (like 95%) doctors wouldn't tell them if it was only two times. They would say something like "not very many, but I've assisted on them/it's not very complicated/I've done many other procedures that utilize the same technique/other blablah".

And we all know that Dani isn't the person to ask a doctor that question anyway, so we can be 99% certain that didn't happen.

Let's even give her the benefit of the doubt on this one. If (we know he/she didn't say they had only performed the surgery twice and one went well and one didn't) but if they have only performed the surgery twice with a literal success rate of 50%, why would you go, "Yep, that's the doc and surgery for me?" This really shows her disordered thinking. I wouldn't let a doc remove a skin tag from me with a success rate like that, let alone perform something as complicated as what she is getting. She is very mentally ill.

Funny, but not everyone who has neurofibromatosis is "lumpy." There are other symptoms that are visible, however, including freckled armpits, spots in the eye, short stature, and cafe au lait spots. She could easily confirm by showing her armpits or a close up of her eyes.

I don't doubt her having this illness because it would be kind of ballsy to say that someone does without much proof, but she definitely is OTT. I know someone who has the exact same illness (type 1) and she never talks about it, but it affects her life a lot. She has lots of joint pain, is very short, is knock-kneed, and has brown spots on her irises. So this girl should have something to show for her illness, besides being skinny (which is not really a symptom of type 1).

No. 467447

>>467443
Precisely - she so desperately wants to be ill that she is willing to undergo surgery even if the doctor and success rate of that surgery are in question. I almost expect that she wants there to be complications so she can have a longer hospital stay. Most people would say they were told they could be in the hospital for a day or two to a week but they are hoping they will only have to stay a day or two. She is like the doctor hasn't done this a lot so I could be in the hospital longer depending on if he screws up. While a normal individual would say I hope there arent any complications that would prolong my stay.

Is her 14 year boyfriend going with her for the surgery? Surely if you were in a relationship with someone for 14 years and were planning to move in together (any more news on that?) you would make an effort to be present if one of them was undergoing surgery.

I was going to say something like "well, regardless I hope it actually helps her and it also satisfies whatever need she is feeling inside so she won't push for a tube anymore".

Then I googled pyloroplasy. Looking at the risks and side effects, that doesn't look too good for her. One if the risks is increased reflux, including bile reflux. We established a while ago that she probably has quite bad reflux already, so unless they start treating the reflux quite agressively, it doesn't look too good.

Will they do anything else besides those two procedures? Dr. Google just told me that pyloroplasy is rarely done alone, it's usually combined with a vagotomy (which would help reflux) or something else. I'm no doctor, but it sounds like she would benefit more from a vagotomy or a Nissen then pyloroplasy or implanting a Stim.

She usually gets mad whenever someone mentions that the boyfriend isn't really a boyfriend. But if you claim to have been together for 14 years, live close to each other and don't see each other frequently much less on major holidays, and he doesn't support you during an operation then maybe you need to reconsider the boyfriend title. Now if there is a sort of guy friend you like to sleep with every once in a while - thats totally fine but don't pretend its something it isn't.
Leave her friends out of it - what friends? as far as I know she doesn't spend time with anyone except her parents, aunt, doctors/therapist, and the "boyfriend". Oh wait - there are always the neighbors. She is probably just mad because its the first time her dad's name has appeared on here.

Because she's actually having something medical done that people can't say much about..like she wouldn't have this big surgery if she didn't need it..they don't do surgery for no reason type situation.
Jokes on her though..its not a big surgery, a pacer has the most benifiet on nausea which is why it was done on her. She jumped on the chance which is why she didn't get a second opinion and spun lies about needing more surgeries like a jtube and the sphincter cut. She would have blindly followed a dr into amputation just to get this done. She also likely pushed for the pacer. As soon as she realized what they may be willing to do to her she took it and ran. She had many options between her appt And the surgery step that she skipped and just like with feeding tubes, if she pushed enough for trying the pacer they are going to do it. Specially since it is a high research object. It doesn't take much for someone to get one. They itch to put them in for experience and research. I think she will discover that the attitude will change from her temple team once she has healed. Less nausea medication will be a blow to her.

And she is loving it right now because she is finally getting some attention and feels like people care about her - looks like her dad is with her and she claims that everyone in the hospital is so nice - more likely that she is experiencing someone caring for her/about her which hasn't happened in a while.
Unfortunately for her I don't think this surgery high is going to last super long. I don't know much about the pacers but I assume they are completely under the skin which means that she doesn't actually have a "look at me I am sick" device. If there is a scar or some sort of protrusion I am guessing she will start wearing more crop tops but seeing as her stomach is likely not covered in scars I doubt most people would give it a second glance. She can try to make a big deal about it to people in real life (coming up with all sorts of complications or reasons to talk about it) but I bet it will get old pretty quickly. And when she claims it doesn't get rid of any of her symptoms (because its only a matter of time before she tries to get herself a tube again) her tiny support system is going to get even more fed up.
The only plus for her is that she can add it to her "spoonie toolbox" to try to make herself more legitimate in the spoonie community.

What's even stranger is that they let her eat so soon after the surgery..her first post after surgery she talked about the liquids she had..and then they allow het solid food. Wth? She said she didn't get to order the food but if your Drs have you on a liquid diet and you have any GI procedure/surgery with such serious GP those Drs would put you on a liquid diet in the hospital especially after a surgery..definetly not a regular diet so you get sent an un- GP friendly meal after a pacer placement to eat and have further issues….like they do everything to avoid post OP vomiting which is usually why you stay NPO or clear liquid for a while after surgery too.

It took forever to get a room after surgery which is also weird because they don't keep you in recovery longer than needed and it's not really meant to hold patients for hours waiting….and with her father posting outpatient procedure I'm wondering if the plan was to send her home after she recovered but she cried too much pain to leave to manipulate into staying overnight?
The pacer is outpatient in many motility hospitals..its usually inpatient when more is going on.

Dani and her pepper. Reminds me of when she claimed to be trying a GP diet and "trying" to eat plain chicken accompanied by a picture of a piece of chicken topped with a mountain of black pepper. The pepper in this picture was clearly placed on the food by her. Medical facilities typically do not put pepper all over the top of their food because a lot of people do not like it/complain. It may be cooked into the food but not sprinkled on top. The trays are put together assembly line style and they don't have a ton of time because there are rules about how long food can sit and the temperature of the food before it is delivered to the patients. They will throw some pepper packets on the tray so the patient can put it on their food if they want but they certainly don't have time to sprinkle pepper over the entire plate nor would they because few people want pepper on everything.

This meal was likely given to her in the post-op recovery area which is why you can clearly see the hall without any sort of door. My guess is they were expecting her to be out of there by then and weren't planning on having her stay for a meal. Someone probably had to call the kitchen to get the meal sent which is why it is on a disposable plate and not the typical hospital plate (granted it could be different depending on location but every medical facility I have worked in delivers food on regular plates that are placed in top/bottom covers that keep them warm. Someone probably called up and ordered a tray rather than a specific one for her being ordered by a doctor - although you would think they would know why she was there and provide specific restrictions. I assume you wouldn't expect to immediately feel relief from the stimulator and would therefore want to choose a safer meal to avoid vomiting so soon after surgery (unless you are Dani in which case you either can eat solids without a problem or you want to induce vomiting in hopes of having complications prolong your stay).

A day or 2 to a week depending on complications or not just sounds…wrong. I mean really any procedure could have that result but these days most back/neck surgery is outpatient or overnight..its creepy! The shorter the need for hospitalization the better which is why advancing minimal ways to do surgery is so important.
She had a sub-q pacer placed into her stomach..basically they threaded the 2 leads into her stomach and outside the abdomen wall. A pocket was then made in the muscle of the stomach and sewn shut.
The abdomen is the best place for something like this because of the fat and tissue compared to other places on the body which is why it's not crazy painful or a big surgery like you would think. Bleeding is the biggest concern but she's past that mark.

It's Dani, she wouldn't care if she got stuck in a miserable multi person recovery room. She's actually admitted to a hospital for a legitimate reason shes on cloud 9. Its her first hospitalization in years despite being so so sick all those years. (Her last hospitalization was a day or 2 because she claimed bloody vomiting and passing bloody stools and fought to be admitted for an upper GI after her lab result showed no blood loss and refused to eat and they wouldn't let her leave without eating.

Not white-knighting (saved any way) but from what I know Olanzipine can also result in slow metabolism which can increase weight gain so it's not solely linked to eating more.

Also, Nicole states she eats orally on top of her feeds and even if she's vomiting everything she eats, as she claims, she'll still be absorbing some of the calories from the food so may explain it

For sure. They all seem like they’ve gone down the list of EDS symptoms off of google, and are faking every single one, which isn’t how it works in the slightest.

Munchies just don’t understand how the world works, do they? If you don’t have eds, you don’t have it. Generalized hypermobility is super common and doesn’t come with the systematic involvement that eds has, and therefore the complications. So her pots and gi problems are super suspicious now.

So this is a comment on aubrey.limes newest ig. She said that NET tumours dont usually require chemo. I don't know how accurate this is but I thought this comment was interesting

No. 468857

>>468844

I question Aubrey's cancer diagnosis. I will say that from the little research I did on PNET said that surgery is considered the only curative treatment. It also said that PNET tumors are fairly rare (but can also be genetic). Most people don't discover the tumor(s) until the are symptomatic. Since Aubrey is a munchie and has so many unnecessary scans/tests/procedures that they happened to find the tumors in the very early stage. If they did catch it really early on and can tell that it didn't spread surgery alone may be enough and given her other "issues" they would probably consider the risks of chemo to outweigh the benefits - after all if someone is claiming that they can tolerate tube feeds and needs TPN which can be hard on the liver its probably best to try to avoid putting chemo in their body which can also affect appetite/GI and other organs.
Basically Aubrey got her dream come true - she can claim cancer without having to actually go through the really crappy parts of having cancer.

If you read the bottom of her IG - she claims that her Ostomy is temporary while doctors discuss surgery to fix her recrum because she has a sort of prolapse or abnormality that causes the area to be blocked when she needs to “go.” And laxatives weren’t an option since the problem is physical.

Well, let's be clear: I don't know anything about this particular person, but obstipation CAN definitely be so bad that an ostomy (usually an ileostomy) is the only option. It is really a last resort option though, and there are a lot of other options that have to be explored first.

It must be in very, very rare cases, because I’ve never heard of that, except in Hirshprungs (sp?) disease. .

I know this is an anachan thing to ask, but:

My guess is about 18.5, but sincd she's muscular that may be throwing me off, I'm used to skinnyfats. So she may be slightly underweight with low body fat (and basing her claims of malnutrition on being anything below a healthy weight).

She’s at least a normal BMI, possibly even up to 19 or 20. She looks like an ana chan sometimes, but I think it’s just how she poses. Her hospital-roof muscle-man pose was pretty telling that she weighs (and eats) more than she lets on. The picc sleeve and beanie are way extra, and maybe what she’s been going for? She’s absolutely loving having more diagneses and lines, which truly quite disgusting, given that she is perfectly capable of both eating normally and drinking her fluids.

Didn't bring any "extremely baggy shirts" and "it hurts to have clothing over it" is really just an excuse to be able to tuck her shirt up like in the picture to expose her bandages. Because she is wearing a regular t-shirt in the picture. I can understand not wanting to wear a skin tight shirt but a baggy t-shirt really isn't going to touch your skin much less than a regular t-shirt would.

>>469601
I suspect that she got that meal because they weren't expecting her to be in the recovery area that long and someone had to call down for it. If her doctor ordered a liquid and soft food diet she would not have gotten a meal that looked like that. She would have been given either a pureed diet or what is considered a "mechanical soft" diet (both are very common in hospitals for people with dysphagia so it would be very easy for the hospital to provide her with either consistency - a mechanical soft diet would have come with the meat either ground or at least cut/shredded). But they brought her the meal and she didn't look at it and say "that might be too hard to eat" instead she said "looks good but first let me add a pound of pepper".

The only reason she will consider taking out that lip piercing is because she reads this thread and it has been mentioned multiple times that her lip ring must be kind of gross seeing as she claims she vomits all the time.

She looks happiest when she is at the hospital.

Of course her bowels are irritated. They do that after surgery often due to the medications and of course if it's intestinal surgery.

The medications can cause temporary stomach/intestinal motility issues but it's not common.
I can see one of her next steps will be trying to convince them her intestines don't work now. She's already been hinting toward it like all that motility testing they did didn't show completely functional intestines.
And they wouldn't have done the pacer if her intestines were messed up.
It'll be interesting to see how fat she tries to take it now that she thinks she has a valid reason to claim those issues.

She has a feeding tube she doesn't need, a dexcom she doesn't need, a "service dog" she doesn't need and does no mitigating tasks, etc. She's legitimately sick, but that doesn't justify much of her behavior.

The person who has access to account may have to confirm this but I do think she only stayed overnight. (>>469613 This one appears to be from home). It looks like she had the surgery Thursday and went home Friday. Right after the surgery she said she felt like she had to pee but couldn't - I wouldn't be surprised if she was just holding it in and saying that to get to stay another day which is why she switched from saying she couldn't pee to her bowels were swollen (hard for her to keep track of all the lies).

She is definitely OTT. She didn't start out that way. She started her vlog when her and her husband were going overseas - likely to update family about their time abroad and probably to help document what its like for a person with CF to travel abroad (which is probably actually helpful as there are plenty of people with CF who attend college and may want to do a semester abroad or even people with CF who want to travel in general). Those vlogs were mostly about their general life adventures. However the vlogs that had medical related titles have gotten significantly more views. And likely as a result her vlog has become more and more medical related. Look at the titles to her vlogs in the past few months - it is all clickbait medical related. I think vlogging made her more OTT - her daily life is really dull (like most people) so in order to keep her viewers interested she needs medical "drama". I don't think she is a munchie who is purposefully making herself sick - but she obsesses over everything and doesn't take as good care of herself as she should. Not taking super great care of herself is probably rewarded with more vlog material.
The Guru Gossiper thread has people with CF weigh in who provide a bit more insight as to how she is not taking super great care of herself - especially considering that she doesn't work.

In terms of the ana claims - lots of people have suspected that she uses the CF to cover up an eating disorder. She has always basically nibbled at food. Yes CF does cause issues with digestion and some people require a feeding tube. Even when she got the feeding tube she didn't run it for a while and she uses the tiny child bags.

Basically Mary isn't necessarily a munchie but she is definitely OTT (I don't think she set out to be OTT when they started vlogging). She paints herself as a CF role model but really she isn't a great picture of CF - lots of people with CF work and she doesn't take great care of herself despite primarily staying at home. I think people are hesitant to criticize her here because she is definitely sick and has an illness that is very serious and life threatening.

The fact they are happy to repeatedly sedate and anesthatise so many people 'with EDS' is a sign they probably don't have EDS. We can visibly see what level of hypermobility they have, skin issues, spidery fingers etc. How quickly they heal!

This post is screaming ED..her positioning to make those collar bones stick out (nice try anyway)
And the food list is obsessive..its just strange to give IG your grocery list..shes probably listing it because she wants to "show" everyone that she's sticking to a liquid/soft diet but in that case most people would just say "I'm getting some drinks and easy soft food like mashed potatoes" or something along those lines.
Butter cracked me up
Listing what she already has is also obsessive over food.
I don't believe that her dr put her on a liquid diet a while back but a liquid/soft food diet and she took off with liquid for attention because pureed and some soft foods are essentially liquids if done right and she would be able to tolerate it with her GES results.
And her Drs wouldn't want her on any diet that is likely to make her throw up until she's completely healed from surgery. So this tells us the Drs see no reason she can't eat at least soft foods (fruit cups are not soft food for GP)
I get the feeling she's going to report the pacer not helping in 2 weeks even if it is helping.

Neck surgery is for sure a terrible idea for eds. Neck sublexations and cervical instability are treated best with physical therapy, as surgery for eds in general tends to be not very successful. There are definitely doctors in the us that claim to be top EDS specialists who prescribe really terrible and detrimental treatments (excessive surgeries, 24/7 bracing and wheelchair use, way too much pain medication). It’s really sad, because they’re making their patients quite a bit worse.

Yeah, Francomano's pedigree suggests she ought to be a decent physician, but I have major doubts about anyone who is so chummy with the EDS Society. You would think she wouldn't want her name and image associated with such a munchie-promoting organization.

Even on here people cite the new criteria with way more authority than is appropriate considering the role of some shitty doctors in drawing them up.

She has done the grocery list before - I think its due to a combination of things.
- ED behaviors - obsessing about food
- Having little money - she actually needs to try to plan out what she is going to buy
- But primarily because people were questioning her diet on here. In the past when people have questioned if she was sticking to a diet she would post her grocery list to try to prove that she was. It usually backfires on her because her list doesn't usually actually follow a diet recommendation and also because just because she says she buys it doesn't mean thats what she actually buys.

If someone had just had surgery and had limited diet choices they would probably want to think about what would be the best way to get the most calories/nutrition in. Her choices seem terrible. Juice really isn't that great for you (not to mention a lot of real juices are acidic which isn't great for her reflux) and based on her videos from the past her choice of just is typically those big jugs of "fruit punch" aka a bottle of sugar and food dye. Jello and Italian Ice have no nutritional value. Fruit cups (and I assume she gets the kind most kids eat) are usually filled with a sugary syrup.
There is no mention of having supplement drinks at home (although she probably does) - wouldn't be a bad idea to have an Ensure or find some soups that she could eat.

And while she is on a temporary high from the attention she got at the hospital its not going to last long so she is going to have to report that the stimulator isn't working in order to move on to the next step.

At least the criteria had multiple doctors giving input and is researched based (not saying it’s perfect, and the EDS society is definitely a fucking train wreck), whereas a doctor treating a patient is all on their own to fuck someone up under the guise of being a top specialist.

The criteria, while far from perfect, is keeping munchies from being diagnosed and limiting their options when doctor shopping, because even shitty doctors who leave the room and google EDS now find that there is an official way to diagnose, and there's more criteria than being kind of stretchy.

This. When I was younger I kept asking about surgeries for subluxations and dislocations but was always told it was too high risk considering EDS skeleton will just let the joint pop out again. PT and bracing occasionally are the only options

No. 470398

>>470382
Nah, munchies will still munch their way into it. You're naive if you think the criteria will stop doctor shopping and EDS being a trend. Some of the doctors being "shopped" around are the very ones who fed into those criteria, are cool with the EDS Society shilling for obvious munchies, and all that, so don't delude yourself that it's so much better and improved. There are doctors way over diagnosing, under diagnosing, over treating with bullshit like surgeries, and under treating in places like the UK. The criteria will likely be an annoyance for the most part as any way to split people into groups means limiting services to one group or other (such as hEDS and HSD).

Like at least admit you just like the criteria for the vapid OTT spoonie reason that you feel validated by them. Everyone who meets them understands that, most people won't own up to it.

Also, munchies go to doctors that are unfamiliar with EDS, and suggest that it’s something they need to be checked for. And doctors just go by the very basic symptoms, and diagnose them, without considering the actual spectrum of symptoms and criteria, family inheritance patterns, etc. EDS is one of those illnesses that doesn’t have specific, easy to run tests, and munchies take full advantage of that. Throw in the possibility of being a special unicorn zebra, and munchies flock to it. Side note, the whole “zebra” thing has caused way more problems than it’s worth. Having an illness, any illness, doesn’t make you special.

She was drinking scandishakes (or she claimed anyway)
They are a meal replacement drink. A bit more balanced and nutritious than regular supplement drinks like ensure.
She had never had them before and at this time she kept posting she was throwing up her liquids (because she couldn't hold down liquids a lot of the time even though her testing showed the opposite)
Someone told her about this drink and she went out and had her dad buy 2 cases of them (which she got a lot of attention for doing because they aren't cheap drinks and dove right in to a bulk purchase. This went with people pointing out her terrible money management)
She used to buy some workout protien shake.
Which was lower calorie. And most of her posts about drinks are water and tea.
She doesn't put effort into getting better nutrition in because she knows she can get proper nourishment easily and doesn't want that because she's sick and malnourished begging for a tube.
Only she's not. She hasn't lost much (if any) weight over this..in fact her weight shot up for a while despite her serious GP and vomiting everything.
Her lab work has been normal but she's one of those that count borderline numbers as too low or high. She's under the impression that the only bad lab work numbers are low..not high. "All my levels are too low"
(Vomiting can cause electrolyte imbalances which show up in lab work. Low potassium is typical and a while back Dani went to the er and claimed her labs showed her K was really high so they were giving her a "big bag" of fluids and then got sent home. Which is bs because high K is just as serious as low K and they would have admitted her if it was really high and while possible it's just not common K is low when you vomit, not high)
I'm sure that's a big reason they didn't do a jtube. Dani said the dr said if she lost any weight between her appts they would place a tube. Which didn't happen because she doesn't need one..other than very mild weight fluctuations she doesn't meet the criteria for a tube anyway..tubes are places for nutrition in malnourished people.
Now that she has the pacer and her liquid and soft food digest perfectly normal to begin with there is no reason she will need a tube.
She will claim she can't drink enough to stay healthy and ask for the tube to help her. This is done often however when it's done it's usually because even liquids are slowed some or in children and elderly.
So she's going to have to keep self tubing and pray it eventually worsens so she can get her tube.
Only GP isn't progressive. And it doesn't spread to the intestines and her intestines work perfectly but this will be one of her next ventures, specially if she ever gets a jtube. (And we know what comes after that) It's like Autumn "my testing showed my gastric motility is normal but I'm going to consider that a GP diagnosis"
I am very impressed she hasn't decided to drop an NG again and just claim it's a NJ the Drs placed for feeds yet!
However a gofundme for money to buy formula again would be suspicious as insurance would cover her formula if the dr rx it.
She's basically just cornering herself into a mess that goes beyond her capabilities.

What she claims she eats/drinks likely doesn't match up to what she actually does. Which is part of the reason why her weight/blood levels don't match up with her report of not being able to keep anything down.

She will claim the pacer isn't working in hopes of getting a tube. Once she is recovered from the surgery the people in her life are going to want to hear about her GI problems even less than they did before - after all she had the surgery shouldn't she be fine now? She is one who is definitely looking for a physical illness when the real cause is mental health related. She has no relationships outside of her family and her claimed boyfriend. She doesn't seem to have any friends and since she doesn't work or volunteer or get out of the apartment she doesn't have any co-workers or other acquaintances to interact with. She has some serious mental health issues (that her ED was more likely a byproduct of) that I am sure make her feel like crap at times and interfere with her relationships and daily activities. And since mental health is still pretty stigmatized it can be hard to get people to understand (I wouldn't be surprised if she was around people whose approach to depression is just "don't be sad"). She hopes to form relationships by joining the spoonie community but that leads to a deep ugly hole. It doesn't help that some of the the top/popular spoonies like Aubrey, Jacquie, Mary all have lots of devices and what on the surface seems like devoted husbands. If she truly wants to get better she needs to find the right psychologist/psychiatrist to get her on the right combo of therapy and meds. I know she sees a therapist now but per her report she mainly talks to that therapist about her ED (even though she likely stresses to the Temple doctors that she has been recovered from her ED for years if she mentions it at all). All the devices in the world aren't going the create the relationships she wants. If anything they will only drive people further away.
Luckily she isn't the world's most effective munchie and she doesn't have the resources to doctor shop as much so it will be harder for her to get all the medical "tools" munchies love. I also suspect she hasn't tried to drop an NG because she does read here and knows that everyone would doubt it was doctor placed due to her history and has seen other posts here calling out people who place a NG and claim its a NJ - she knows she wouldn't be able to get away with it and that if she tried to claim it was a NG people would say that makes no sense with GP.

Dani is one of the cows I feel the most for. I can kind of understand why she does what she does and honestly think she could turn her life around if she would just focus on getting to a better place mental health wise. Sitting alone in her apartment all day obsessing over being sick isn't doing her any good. The only way a NG tube would benefit her is that it would encourage her to leave the house to show it off . If she even just found one activity (she loves to read - why not start by joining a book club - there are usually free ones) to get herself out of her apartment she would have a better chance of creating an identity for herself that isn't "sick person".

I completely agree. She different. She doesn't have all of the special toys to show off, the symptoms that are always there, the constant in and out of the ER for various reasons. I agree that she's not being treated for mental illness and her depression could be a lot of her issues. If she could get that help, things would probably improve for her a lot. And yes, Dani, take your lip ring out. You're not an ugly girl. That just doesn't do you any good.

This cunt. Every day she reaches a new, horrifying degree of munchieness. She of course has to pack along all her shit to Costco, including her not-service-dog (who “alerted” her), and used a cart that someone could have needed, because she’s that much of an attention whore, because the cancer kid beanie and picc line cover (specifically in a t shirt to show it off) weren’t enough.

I don't think she wants to be seen as anything but a sick person.
She's been like this with everything. She
was very OTT with her ED from day one. Treatment definetly effected her badly as she saw other patients that were very sick physically and mentally. She saw how much more attention these more critical patients received in treatment and it set her off into a full blown munch. For a while at the beginning she stuck mainly with her mental illnesses/ED." She had the worst anorexia her entire state has ever had and the Drs in her state don't believe in tubing people specially with an ED. "
She wasn't. Shy talking about her mental health, she was pretty open about it.
I think people got very tired of her mental illness party and she stopped getting attention and that led up to doing anything possible to make herself sick and then she realized the body doesn't work that way and started to lie and manipulate. Her story changes over the years. She munchied herself into munchiedom lol
Many things she claimed like heart condition, swallowing issues,fainting (pots attempt 1) IBS, etc (it's a list) just magically came and left at will and eventually just totally disappeared as she thought of a "better" plan/illness.
I don't think it started after ed treatment I just think it was that aha moment for her.
Being a premie I'm sure she was like this throughout childhood too.
Dani usually does what this board says. We mention it here and then her IG corrects it or matches it which makes it so obvious she lurks here (wonder if she ever posts about herself or others here)
I don't think this board would prevent her from tubing herself and claim it's an NJ..if anything it'll probably get her to do it.
When she dropped the NG a while back she was on the GP path (I can't remember if she was diagnosed yet or not) all she did was complain about GP and pots symptoms, but when questioned about the tube she said that she's having trouble with liquids and she won't drink because of her ED voices and used water. (She did buy formula she used extremely little of and of course she bought cases of it. So stupid. Formula has water and would keep her hydrated and give her nutrition but she preferred water which shows she didn't want tube feeds and nutrition and calories. She just wanted a tube to show off and used water so she could feel special by actually using the tube for something vs just having it in for looks)
I'll try to find the post maybe..its a lot of pictures to go through.
She was a pharm tech before her last ED treatment. She went to online school for it but i think she only worked there for a very short period.

No. But Mitral Valve Prolapse and aortic root dilation are 2 of the symptoms you can't see. You don't HAVE to have them to be diagnosed hEDS but given the munchies we see don't have a lot of the visible criteria then to reach diagnostic threshold they would need to have some cardic issues.

What I don’t understand is the sheer number of people claiming hEDS without anyone else in their family having it. It’s an autosomal dominant disorder suspected to be caused by multiple genes. Basically, unlike other types of EDS, you don’t get spontaneous mutations. At least one parent has to have it, that’s just how genetics work. And yes, a parent may have a much milder, undiagnosed case, but one has to have it. Otherwise it’s either HMS or benign joint hypermobility.
