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

[LemonsFromTheSun]

She is currently in patient after having tests done two days ago and she is due to have the actual surgery Tuesday. Dr. Bolognese also operated on the shunt put in when Morgan was at Penn State. Mom is currently complaining online about pain control and whether they will get the surgery done or if they will wait.

They’re still as bat shit as ever. Will follow up with SS

I have finally caught up with the ENTIRE Munchie thread, and Morgan remains a personal favorite. Does she still blow snot bubbles and pretend they’re CSF? Has she finally convinced Mommy McCastor that she does have Parkinson’s? Has she gotten with the times and made cringey TikToks like all the other cool kids?

Do we think people are actually convinced by Victoria’s weird “I ate my identical conjoined twin and have been cursed because of it” shit, or do you think people hear it and go “wow this one has Mental Illness™.”

Do we think Paige is trying for an amputation a là Vampire Kelly? Or will the millions of bacteria inhabiting her sad flesh suit start proclaiming sovereignty and that Bacterial Lives Matter?

To everyone who contributes good cows and great milk, thank you o7

At this point I don't think she's at the helm, aiding things along, as she always has - she doesn't have to any longer because her infections are cultivating themselves and running rampant and unimpeded by antibiotics they try. She's circling the drain and long past the event horizon to pull back out.

Risperdal is one atypical antipsychotic that is notorious for inducing lactation. It’s also safe to prescribe to pediatric patients for controlling negative behaviors associated with autism and, off-label, as a treatment for severe and/or intractable tics in Tourette Syndrome. So imagine some poor teenage putz—who already has to put up with barking and yelping and twitching from Tourette’s— hops in the shower one day only to find that he’s fucking LACTATING from his medication (lactation while taking risperdal has an incidence of about 60% in the pediatric population as opposed to about only 1% among adults taking it). What a nightmare.

Not just lactating but men would actually grow breasts. Have to imagine that would make your issues worse if your peers notice you sprouting boobs.

I once knew someone who started lactating after being prescribed fluoxetine (Prozac) and thought it was just one of those annoying side effects people on SSRIs have to deal with. At a follow up appointment, her psychiatrist asked how she was feeling, and she responded, "Oh, I'm feeling SO much better! The lactation thing is a little inconvenient, but you know, I just deal with it." The doctor was like, (record scratch) "I'm sorry, the WHAT is inconvenient?!"

Apparently, galactorrhea is a very rare side effect of fluoxetine. Here's the NIH LactMed database entry about it.

Evidently opioid use has also been reported to cause lactation in some patients, which is an interesting side note considering our subjects of discussion.

Maybe that's why Alyssa talks about trying to make milk. Bitch is definitely a user of prescription meds

she doesn't have to any longer because her infections are cultivating themselves and running rampant and unimpeded by antibiotics they try.

She will likely live on in infamy in whatever new drug resistant strain of bacteria or fungus mutated and first came to attention after being cultured from her tissues.

She’ll touch many lives even after she’s gone.

purely hypothetical, if i were to introduce a new cow that is both morbidly obese and claiming a non-existent anorexia diagnosis, would that be better suited for here or the fat girlcows thread?

To be sure, it’s not Tess Holliday, correct?

no it’s a relatively unknown tiktok specialgender, ive been following her for awhile but she recently started a gofundme for $6,000 for an ‘emotional support animal’ and it actually got funded and i need to scream into the void about how gay this earth is

That was exactly who came to mind for me

There’s a really good Twitter e-beggars thread in community watch, there are many such cases

 

[buoyverificationfuel]

both morbidly obese and claiming a non-existent anorexia diagnosis

Which is the A Plot, and which is the B Plot? Which is most relevant to the cow and/or the main thing a casual viewer would take away from their content - would the viewer think "lol fat" or "lol munchie" on their first impression?

Personally, I think that claiming a disorder they blatantly don't fit the criteria for (like Victoria) is enough for a couple of posts about them in the munchie general thread. Make sure you've lurked the thread enough to make a good post about them, or else nobody will care - regardless of where it's posted.

Do we think people are actually convinced by Victoria’s weird “I ate my identical conjoined twin and have been cursed because of it” shit, or do you think people hear it and go “wow this one has Mental Illness™.”

I'm cynical as fuck from following lolcows for 13 years so without the context of this thread I would immediately think she's a lying attention whore, but people who are less used to internet con artists looking for attention/money/whatever would probably think she's either mentally ill or telling the truth (some people are just really naive and have zero understanding of basic biology).

The life of an average munchie seems to be munching on your main account and having an anonymous alt account where you call everyone else a mentally ill fake. So probably both?

I give her credit for coming up with one of the most hilarious munchie origin stories though. Bitch get out of here with your chronic lyme I'm haunted by the ghost of the conjoined twin I ate on my way out of the womb.

Just fat girl things.

Oh man I agree with everything you’ve said. There’s one user in particular that annoyed me today with her long personal monologues about her dads cancer and her own illnesses like muh fibro that I found her social media (and GFM and fb grifting) and real name in about 5 mins flat. Just because of how much she spergs about herself.
It’s actually embarrassing.

I'm actually who several of you opined about in this post. I guess you really shouldn't Google yourself, huh? It's the lowest of lows to basically laugh about my fathers cancer and subsequent death. Because I know good and damned well that was mentioned. I get to put my. Mom back together every major holiday. Funny huh?

I spoke then, as I do now, about myself and my health struggles because that's how I feel i can relate to others when they are discussing a condition I am dealing with. I would think that at least one person would appreciate knowing they're not completely alone.

Lastly, I don't qualify as a munchie, as all my health problems are officially diagnosed by my primary physician, whom I see every month since I'm on a heavy opioid for now TWO herniated discs that ate about to be fused at Emory. My specialist diagnosed them also and I have both scan CD's to prove it. Went to St. Joseph's Candler....after I had to go and take all my piercings in my face out because the radiologist there don't know implant grade titanium isn't going to be ripped out and damage the machines I also, as you so nicely mentioned, deal with Fibromyalgia, but I guess you stopped stalking me and you don't know about the diagnoses of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Chronic Migraine, Degenerative Disc Disease(explains why I keep herniation discs!) Autism Spectrum Disorder, Meralgia Parasthetica in my right thigh, and permanent nerve damage in my back.

I feel as if that's not exactly a funny life story so far, but hey, I guess everyone has their quirks. I would remember that people who do what some of you do, sometimes end up in my shoes and then some. I personally hope you don't, because thus is isn't a way to live; I mean, my mom is going to have to go back k to work after retiring because I can't work anymore. THAT is definitely not funny.

Lastly, I realize this is a rather old thread. But I'm not about to let my name be smeared because people don't know the definition of Munchausens, can't be understanding, STALK people they know really nothing about other than they THINK the person is faking or is making themselves sick for attention(I have no idea how to even herniate a disc by myself) & have absolutely no compassion.

Y'all have a good day now.

No one cares. The best thing you could have done for yourself was lurk more and know not to post this shit. No one has even mentioned you in a year and you dredge this up? You're not a smart person.

Oh, boy, have you come to the wrong place for this. You resurrected a one-paragraph offhand remark from two years ago? How did you know it was about you? Like, seriously, what could you possibly have googled that would lead you to that post?

To be fair to the self-googler, the posts go on to reveal who she is, she just didn't quote the correct post because she's an idiot.

As you've taken the effort to Google, sign up and write all this whilst being super sick: could you go that extra little extra step and attach some medical reports to back up your claims or is that just a bit too much effort?

 

[Cryin RN]

I mean, my mom is going to have to go back k to work after retiring because I can't work anymore.

Jesus Christ. This is one of the crueler things I've read in this thread. Can't wean off the opes for long enough to pick up a WFH call centre job? Don't qualify for disability even though you're super duper sick eh? There's absolutely no way for someone with a competent level of literacy to make a living from a desk, Mommy's got to haul her bones back to work like the god damn horse from Animal Farm. Paige's mom honestly got the happy ending.

could you go that extra little extra step and attach some medical reports to back up your claims or is that just a bit too much effort?

Aww Buttons you know that won't matter, everyone featured in this thread has "real" diagnoses from doctors who don't have enough time in their clinic visits to realize what their patient is actually doing, although lately the tide may be turning hurray!
