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

[cuddle striker]

A little Caroline moment: people from tiktok have been calling the hospital and reporting that either she's discharged or dead, rumors abound. She's posted video and content from her draft folder, but nothing newly made.

"classic"


body check, classic anorexia more like. it's not that complicated.


munching:



Allergic to air, too


people freaking out, plenty of attention:

Ehh, "wrong hole" can happen momentarily with a suppository, especially if someone's trying to keep the lights off. The solution is to apologize and place it properly, and remember to bring a flashlight next time. Not really exciting enough for a nine-paragraph story, but I'm not a professional diarist.

It can definitely happen, and I've seen quite a few urinary catheters end up in weird places. Although her story sounds incredibly fake. Patients are generally going to be like "yo other hole" as soon as they feel the nurse going for their vagina.

She made it sound like anything going on downstairs was some kind of new and mysterious experience for her.

Can someone remind me who is the one who lost half her hand? I thought it was Paige the Petri dish, but no? I'm not getting any closer with my searches and keep falling down rabbit holes.

Like Gena. I was an around during her horse forums/pepe heyday Legendary. Kind of amazed she isn't dead. Horses don't have infinite patience.

God, all these women are such drama whores.

Allison is absolutely ludicrous and it’s fun watching her make such an ass of herself, but how the fuck would she know some random munch snark’s “rapist’s name” who has “never mentioned them online” and never been in any newspaper? Has Allison got some magical rapist sleuth powers or tapped her phone? The last accusation just seems bizarre.

This is a redditor we're talking about here so they probably spill spaghetti all over social medias and didn't realize she linked her twitter to her reddit account or gave personally identifying information. Lying to make herself look like more of a victim or knows her somehow in real life.

Any verdict on @tessylouwhoo ?

Claims multiple system atrophy, a notably rare autoimmune disease. I don't actually see any of the traditional signs of the disease being demonstrated here. Her claims of intestinal failure do not coincide with this disorder. Fainting does match the disorder, to which she claims traumatic brain injury from fainting just so much. However, problems with balance and difficulties with gait and movement would coincide more with falls. Indeed, fainting seems to be postural and not just all the time and random.

She keeps mentioning hospice and assisted suicide, but MSA has an average lifespan of 6-10 years compared to her estimate of 2. She even says it could be six months if she gets an infection. That is the main killer for MSA patients, so she is correct there, but mentions no urinary issues, which tend to be the other major infection source besides lungs.

Sporadic use of eye patch (dont care to figure out why), sporadic appearance of parkinsonism, sporadic respiratory symptoms and occasional appearance of oxygen tubing. All the other tubes off and on.

Claims her colon was removed and that she has an ostomy. This seems extremely excessive for MSA as most common complications involving the intestine are constipation, with the urinary system more significantly affected.

Also on that good opiod train and in the ER all the time. Had a service dog and did the obligatory dog videos. Has been inpatient psych multiple times.

I doubt she has MSA. The presentation is all wrong. She plays up her soon to be death so much all the time to get all the asspats. I think she's a munchie who is addicted to opiods.

Isn't it technically malingering if they're doing it for personal gain like drugs?

That reminds me of another ana chan cow called the Fit Vegan Ginger claiming for a while she was allergic to fat. Is it even possible to be allergic to an entire macronutrient in every form? The closest things I can think of are rare genetic disorders where you don't make proper enzymes to break down certain fats, carbs, proteins etc. Like MCAD:

Medium-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD) is an inherited metabolic disorder that prevents the body from converting certain fats to energy, particularly during periods without food (fasting). People with MCADD do not have enough of an enzyme needed to metabolize a group of fats called medium-chain fatty acids.

The theory on the sub is that Allison found the user's full name and either asked around about them (they live in relatively the same area, I guess?) or used her work's WestLaw account. She works for Lutheran Social Services; a few people have said LSS definitely has access. It still doesn't make a ton of sense to me so obviously take it with a grain of salt.

Alright back to my highlight dump of Allison.

Spoiler: Allison Highlights Part 2

By March 2021 Allison's doctors had ruled out: Covid, pulmonary embolism, black mold exposure, flu, pneumonia, respiratory virus, sinusitis, laryngitis, Celiac, RA, Lyme disease, vasculitis, multiple sclerosis (MS), Crohns, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), colon cancer, Still's disease, periodic fever syndrome, thyroid disease, HIV, fibromyalgia, blood infection, lung cancer, brain tumor, CFS, GI obstruction, polymyalgia, endometriosis, allergies, malnutrition, infectious diseases, sinusitis, lung inflammation, autoimmune and rheumatological diseases, bladder disease, Sjogren's, and RA (again).
View attachment 2269500View attachment 2269505View attachment 2269508 Allison discussed all of the trauma that led to her C-PTSD diagnosis. She said she had survived domestic violence, gun violence, armed break-ins, sexual assault, sexual violence, molestation, and rape between ages 4-30. She claimed to be in full drug abuse remission and would be in full alcohol abuse remission in June 2021.

View attachment 2269532View attachment 2269534View attachment 2269536View attachment 2269537Allison was supposed to be evaluated for Marfan syndrome at the University of Minnesota. She claims the geneticist she saw gaslit her. How exactly did the geneticist gaslight her? She also evaluated Allison for EDS and told her she didn’t feel she had enough physical features for a diagnosis. Despite the fact that the geneticist doesn’t normally evaluate for EDS, she would still be qualified to make the diagnosis- she’s a geneticist. I also find it telling that Allison didn’t mention her Marfan evaluation at all.

Allison announced she would be having an ECG to rule out Marfan. Because of her Marfan score, the ECG would be the deciding factor in being diagnosed. So just to reiterate: the geneticist did not diagnose her with Marfan. Or EDS, for the record.

View attachment 2269562

View attachment 2269566View attachment 2269567View attachment 2269568 Allison said she had her echo and it showed that her inferior vena cava was dilated. Her cardiologist "didn't have a lot to say about" her dilated vena cava. Sounds very serious. After this, literally no other Marfan-related diagnostics were mentioned (like say a blood test or buccal swab for genetic testing...). She never mentioned receiving a diagnosis.

View attachment 2269572View attachment 2269573View attachment 2269574View attachment 2269577View attachment 2269578 In a comment, Allison claimed the geneticist she saw in April wrote in her notes that she "met the criteria for hypermobile Eds and the systemic score for Marfan, but told me I was 'fine.'" She worried that she has vEDS. She then said "It sucks having both EDS and Marfan issues."

View attachment 2269591View attachment 2269592View attachment 2269593 Allison became utterly obsessed with a "daily fever" she'd claimed since March 2020 and made a beeline for the cancer angle. Allison claimed that every morning her temperature starts around 97.1 degrees. By noon it would hit 99, by dinner 100 degrees, and by bedtime "just under 102 degrees." This appears to be the very first time Allison mentioned her 'growing' lymph nodes. She said her rheumatologist referred her to hematology/oncology back in April- but I find that hard to believe. This was her very first mention of anything cancer-related. She literally shares herself pooping; there's no way she kept that to herself for a month. It seems REALLY weird to advertise a store at the end of the post you hashtag #cancer and #lymphoma. Also, nothing screams "my doctor definitely thinks I have cancer" like an oncology appointment that's booked two+ months out.

View attachment 2269595View attachment 2269596 Just two days later Allison couldn't believe how much her body was wasting away (despite the fact that her weight had been stable since November) and how much her lymph nodes were growing (despite zero physical evidence of swollen nodes). She said her PCP told her to go to urgent care but they couldn't help her because "I am not acutely ill." Allison then requested a PET scan "to start a cancer hunt" but was told only a hem/onc doctor can order them.

View attachment 2269599

View attachment 2269601View attachment 2269602View attachment 2269603 Allison announced she would be off to the ER tomorrow "as per the advice of a nurse at my (bitch you haven't even been there yet and it's your cancer center?) cancer center. I am going to the ER clinic that has a cancer clinic in the building. My hope is that they can get a hematologist oncologist to check me out and order some cancer screening tests for me." Nothing quite like wasting resources by going to the ER for a(n imaginary) chronic issue!

View attachment 2269609

View attachment 2269611View attachment 2269613View attachment 2269614 Next she visited that ER with the cancer center. The ER gave her some fluids, did some blood work, and gave her a strep test. She was negative for strep (and mono and HIV). Her CBC was normal and her RBCs were "just a little below normal." Her CRP was normal. They did not do any scans, and she did not have an oncology consult. I’m assuming she was sent home within a few hours of being seen. Again, this screams "my doctor thinks I have cancer."

I'll be back with part 3 later.

Doctors ruled out CFS? Dude... anyone could potentially fake CFS and they STILL ruled it out? Holy crap. Maybe her doctors saw all her tiktok dancing and concluded she can't be suffering fatigue? The comment she made about wanting to "take advantage" of services for people so disabled they can literally not clean their own house was terrible. That's like quadriplegic level disabled.

It can definitely happen, and I've seen quite a few urinary catheters end up in weird places. Although her story sounds incredibly fake. Patients are generally going to be like "yo other hole" as soon as they feel the nurse going for their vagina.

She made it sound like anything going on downstairs was some kind of new and mysterious experience for her.

I got the same impression, like she was sexually frustrated or something.

She seems to really get off on all the attention and worry she’s creating. Starving herself has paid the big dividends this ED munchie wanted the most.

The sad thing about Friends of Pepe/Gina was that a real guy with actual cf befriended her. He died from it but had to clear his name first. How terrible.

As a formerly cathetered Kiwi, I can confirm that the nurse do tend to miss a whole bunch, but there’s generally a good way to tell if you’re in the wrong hole-catheter insertion burns like a motherfucker, so you’re gonna know for certain when they’ve done it. Her story sounds faker than anything though, definitely.

When you're placing a urinary catheter in a woman, urethra got it or you don't.

 

[Munch Hunter]

The whole doxxing incident does not add up at all. If that actually all happened there would be some serious consequences.

Tessawhooloo played claimed to be "getting help and I hope your can support me" and than got upset when you know, people pointed out her story didn't make sense and claimed she was hospitalized against her will but in the support me cry knew she wouldn't have her phone.

Her timing always surrounds when she runs out of meds, with previous videos having slurred apeech, dilated pupils, clenching. She ended up back in the hospital with a functional bowel obstruction which unsurprisingly the biggest cause is narcotics.

Tessycrazypantswhoo keeps popping up on my tiktok and I am so glad someone else has noticed her! None of her claims and stories make sense to me. She doesn't even list her diagnosis in her bio she just puts "severely terminally ill". The most notable things she has claimed is to be on pallative care and has a DNR, however, she also claimed she went to the ER and had CPR performed on her? Then, got upset and cried when they wouldn't give her any opiods to take home and said she was going to go through withdrawl without them but was only admitted for a few days. Then, a few days later she ended up in a different ER crying about pain medications again. From what I know about pallative care, when you are under their care they are the ones who make the pain medication calls and doctors usually just refer you back to them. It seems as though she isnt under a specialist or care team. Nothing adds up to me.

 

[oopsididitagain]

First time posting. If this isn’t appropriate lmk and I can delete.

so I found this super OTT spoonie. Not sure if she’s faking entirely but she is definitely exaggerating. And grifting for donations. Constantly talking like she is going to die tomorrow even though she also has said it will probably be 10-15 years before she dies? Wears an eyepatch bc of double vision but has a ridiculous explanation for it. Posts extremely uncomfortable videos of her dog licking her...

too lazy to make a real timeline but attached are a sampling of some of her videos. They’re worth a watch. Only found a TikTok and IG so far both are tessyloowho for anyone else who’s curious.

^ “I just wish someone would take me out back and shoot me like an old dog” . Quite a line

She is soo threadworthy. This is the most recent post on her tiktok. She claims a bowel obstruction, but also that she hasn’t had a colon since 2014.

 

[eternal dog mongler]

The closest things I can think of are rare genetic disorders where you don't make proper enzymes to break down certain fats, carbs, proteins etc.

No, but people use the term "allergy" pretty loosely these days.

It's definitely possible to have an intolerance to fat though. If your ileum can't reabsorb bile and send it back up to your liver, your liver can't emit enough bile to let you effectively absorb fats, and all the bile it does produce will reach your colon.

For an exciting re-creation of this experience, spend five days consuming nothing but vodka, as I have learned from some of my patients.

You will shit yellow, shit constantly, shit yourself sometimes and definitely learn to never trust a fart.

 

[mooserangerofthenorth]

In regards to tessawhooloo: The constant they promised me X treatment and than suddenly not getting it is very telling. The most recent is ketamine, for a functional bowel obstruction that she claims to be getting narcotics for and is admitted at yet again a different hospital.

Her "relationship" with magpie scarily seems to be, almost sexual and not in a furry/kink way, calling magpie her soulmate etc. One of her friends seems to be developmentally disabled and on the few videos I have seen with her she is almost mocking her. Her tumblr goes a little further back and same story of terminally ill, DNR/DNI I have no colon. By her definition of terminally ill we all are.

speaking of magpie, she just uploaded a video saying that she’s going to rehome him because she’s “too sick,” and as for her friends, they all seem disabled in some sort of way. grifters like this love to surround themselves with the mentally disabled so that they feel smarter and feed their god complex at the same time.

All this bitch needs is braces and a diet. And maybe some sun and exercise. Can't tell if she has a bit of an underbite or if she's putting emphasis on your fucked up lower teeth to look more sick. You can tell the short haircut and hairwear is meant to make people think she has cancer or something equally serious.
Love the reddit-esque reading off a "witty" scripted comment full of comeback for the tiktok. You can tell she prewrote it and she's directly reading it off the screen.
She's way too smug to be dying. Imagine being this petty while dying??? Would most people still care this much about internet comments? Her voice is super fake. She thinks doing a fake hoarse voice is more proof that she's "sick". Some videos she decides to drop it and do high pitch whining instead. If she was really that hoarse it wouldn't be absent randomly.
The narcissism to think people are lining up to date her. Her looks have a lot of fixable problems but even her face shape, eye positioning and other face stuff is ugly. Crooked, old lady thin lips, weird combo of a strong pointy chin and oval face, short pig nose with too much philtrum.
She knows she will never get attention for her looks unless she really works on herself so she wastes resources, grifts and pretends to die instead. Unfortunately for her, having an unfortunate facial phenotype is not a disorder. Her eyes and skin are practically glowing with youth, no way she's dying.
