Well that explains why her carpet is so filthy, she stops to take selfies when she feels sick.

Fucking idiot.

Lmao, she wants us to believe she was seconds away from puking and decided to take a photo to preserve the moment?

I believe she pukes on her carpet though, nasty bitch

Her dramatic selfies are hilarious. I can't even. Like, who takes this bitch seriously? Does anyone actually believe she can stop mid seizure or right before puking to take a picture?

Wait...wait...wait...maybe she's OTT on purpose, trolling the munchies, and we're all just pawns in her game. If so, then it's fucking diabolical. (I know it's giving her way too much credit, but a girl can dream.)

Is MCAS a real disease or is it like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome where it's a "disease" made up to explain mental illness basically? I haven't ever heard of it before diving into this thread and it seems like they all have it.

It's real.

Having an idiopathic episode isn't terribly uncommon. Our bodies are weird. But chronic MCAS is rare. I doubt any of the munchies have it.

 

[large_farva]

While we're on the subject of is this OTT or trolling, here's SJ with a totally not OTT post about how much her new port has improved her life, while also making her bleed often, as of that's par for the course with a port and she's totally not just fucking with it.
I used to think SJ was a parody of a munchie, but nope, she's in it for reals. sepsis sepsis sepsis sepsis

Mleh, if that’s the case I’ve got nothing but appreciation. This girl has given me some good laughs (and brought all the more attention to the ridiculousness of the munchlands), nothing to be ashamed of there.

Guys, meet Carmel. She's the first person in south Australian history to get a port just for saline infusions. Other skills include, taking a photo every single time she gets an infusion, saving every single bracelet from her infusions, and dressing like a complete retard every time she goes out in public.


She first elected to get saline infusions because her lips were dry

Then suddenly, she had the most medication resistant dysautonomia ever and needed a port, powerchair and many asspats.
But don't worry, she's able to give herself infusions at home now and only needs to go to the hospital for a real emergency now.


She's currently fighting to get a power chair with a headrest and recline feature, despite being able to fucking walk.

There are comments on this post from people who are actually dependent on wheelchairs, because they literally cannot walk, and some of them even complain they can't get the right chair to fit their needs.

Here's some more of her nonsense about port and powerchair, with a heavy, heavy dose of emojis. Yes, this is an adult.


In her spare time, she makes ornaments from used medical equipment


And bedazzled her very much needed (for outing photo-ops) neckbrace


She makes exceptional spectacle of herself each time she goes out, because what's life if you can't deliberately attract attention then have social media tantrums.
Spectacle:


Tantrum:


She named her fucking port (Paige)



*note the drop-in by wanderlust, it's a fun rabbit hole if you're bored.



Edit to add, dontpetmeimworking will soon follow in the steps of munchies before her, having possibly secured peripheral IVs for saline and talking as if a port and g-tube are already on the table, she just has to decide when she wants them badly enough, but don't worry she's already found "peac2" in them.

Lol, I love Carmel, the rainbow atrocities she posts are just spectacular. KFS did a write up for her a while back. Would definitely love to see her posted more in here!

In other news, hoping to get Part 2 of Numberwang up soon, I'm just finishing it up. Definitely agree that there's health anxiety at play there but there's some absolutely golden munching behaviour coming up. I have a lot of milk to deliver and trust me, it's worth the wait.

 

[Diana Moon Glampers]

IDK about Australia but in the US it's not legal to drive if you're wearing a neck brace that makes it difficult for you to turn your head.

I wonder if she's lowkey trying to get into a crash so that she has some more problems for doctors to sort out, and more bracelets for her collection.

This was always my understanding of fibro - just a pseudo diagnosis given to people (mostly women) with a long history of mental illness and a laundry list of vague symptoms like “pain”, “fatigue”, “more pain”, “can’t function”, “so tired”.

I used to love reading nurse and paramedic bloggers and, during the mid to late 00s, the term “fibromyalgeur” (like migraineur) used to get thrown around to describe annoying malingering opiate seekers. Funnily enough, munchies from the late noughties used to blow up the comments section about how real their illness was.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

I have met several people who claim fibro, and i've noticed that their pain is ALWAYS like 14/10 when asked to do something they dont want to do, yet (certainly in the case of at least one of them) they have no problem staying up playing video games all night, despite claiming "extreme fatigue" not hours earlier. And can sit in a fucking computer chair for 6+ hours despite their "pain", 3 hours in my computer chair is about my max and i have no health issues just a shitty core lol

Another thing i've noticed is when they talk about meds: they ALWAYS make a point of saying how shitty the doctor/ pharmacy is, doesnt matter when they put their prescription in, the pharmacist should have worked late to get it ready when THEY "need" it, and they always "need" it. Like im not going to PL, but i take medication regularly. I make sure i know how many i have, and PUT THE POXY REFILL IN BEFORE THEY RUN OUT. Not when you have 2 pills left and the doctors office is closed over the weekend, i swear they do that shit so they have something to complain about. And it's always the fucking opiates. One of them was offered Gabapentin, and dismissed it without even trying it as "not strong enough for his pain", and bitched all over facebook about his doctor being shit for not just writing the opiate prescription he asked for. God forbid they try something first before shoving addictive medicine down your throat.... And he's always asking for more, more, more. He finally got the drug he asked for, but it wasnt "strong enough" for him, so cue more facebook posts about 25/10 pain, fatigue so bad that he could barely move and all the usual made-up bullshit that doesnt even occur in the human body, but somehow always happens to them, because they are such a "zebra"

Nah, it’s a diagnosis of exclusion. Sure, plenty of people are opiate seekers but most are people who have real problems that aren’t quite understood yet and don’t fall into a diagnosis that can be given. Many fibromyalgia people eventually end up being diagnosed with something else as their disease state progresses. I’m sure medical personnel can typically tell the difference and hopefully not give out opiates for it either way.

There are also plenty of people diagnosed with fibro who get on with life and don't define themselves by a disease.

That really is the whole thing when you think about it - what separates spoonies and munchies from folks who happens to have xyz... Most folks get a diagnosis and life goes on. They might post something on social media but it's not the sole focus of their lives.

Meet Gena Olson. 23 years old, from NYC. Loves riding her horses and singing, plays the ukulele. Unfortunately Gena has cystic fibrosis and worse, she cultures B. cepacia complex, the one that rots your lungs. Most clinics won't transplant patients with B. cepacia because of the high mortality rate post-tx, so Gena and her family had to move to Minneapolis. She got a successful transplant at U of M when she was under 18 but last year she started going into chronic rejection. Then she found out she's not a candidate for Trikafta, the new "miracle drug" that is helping so many CF patients see improved lung function and QOL. After some bad infections she ended up in the ICU waiting for another transplant. And guys, it's looking grim. Most of us like Gena. She’s funny and irreverent, but understandably her physical health has been doing a number on her mental health especially now that she’s in isolation because of Covid and can’t even see her parents. The guy next to her is her brother Rob. He's a doctor. Well obviously not when this pic was taken, it's old, but now he is. Sometimes he keeps Gena company for a while but with the pandemic even he can't visit anymore. He's a good guy, fun to talk to if not a little overprotective of Gena. But how could you not be protective of her? She's cute as a button! They had another sister named Joy but unfortunately she died from an infection after her own transplant when she was quite young.

And this is Gina Fiorentino 36-year-old morbidly obese horse abuser trainer also living in Minnesota. Gina is also Gena and Rob.

Spoiler: And also many more people.

Gina Fiorentino happens to have a more than twenty year history of faking cystic fibrosis on various forums and social media platforms – she has, in fact, pretended to be dying of CF for longer than her current persona has allegedly been alive. Now that is dedication. It also means Gina is not our current breed of instamunchies who puts a vest on her dog and calls herself disabled but an oldschool pro from the days before social media. This is how she was able to totally blindside most of us who are used to low-effort port-and-purge munchies. She had proof that she was telling the truth about nearly every claim she made and while all of us had our individual suspicions, no one wanted to be the one to start the conversation. It was only when she started throwing poopy pants temper tantrums every night and suicide baited that people started comparing notes and things that seemed easy to just ignore suddenly were so glaring.

To even attempt to keep this straight I will be using “Gena” when discussing the fictional character and “Gina” when talking about the sentient yeast infection who invented her. This is part one, a timeline of Gina’s internet activity dating back to innocent days of Netscape Navigator and irrational panic over Y2K bugs, and it brings us right up to May 2020 where Gina tells stupid lies on Reddit for no discernible reason. There will also be an appendix to this part because internet do be forever and one of the people Gina burned out is a wizard at resurrecting sites that have not been active since the Clinton administration. Part two introduces the character she portrayed, Gena, and her astronomically improbable ever-escalating bad luck. Part three is what happened when Gena made some people mad and we connected her to Gina and discovered that Gina Fiorentino is a walking advertisement of why social media was a mistake.

Gina Fiorentino was born on July 23, 1983 in Hennepin County, MN. She’s lived in and around Minneapolis/St. Paul for her entire life and has never moved from her parents’ house. Parents are Fred and Kathleen. Dad has two children from a previous marriage to a woman named Audrey Ann Hoglund, married 1969 and divorced by 1973. Half-sister Angie Weeks is still in the Minneapolis area. Half-brother Gregg lives in the LA area and his daughter Emmersyn is an actress in the show A Little Help with Carol Burnett amongst other roles. By the way, this is going to be ridiculously over-documented because about there were like ..10-15 of us all working on this at the same time in a blind rage.



She learned to ride horses early at some local farms and a YMCA camp. Here's a post about Roy, a horse that maybe existed. Or not. And a real cringey poem.


She was a true pioneer in the field of Munchausen by Internet. Her first CF claims (that we found) go way back to 1997 on a forum called ACMEPets, which was owned by PetSmart and has been shut down for over 20 years now, a victim of the dot com bubble. Gina was only 13 years old and claimed to have cystic fibrosis. Another frequent poster in this forum had a child with CF and it seems Gina was copying that kid's stories just a little too closely. She was caught and the site apparently shut down temporarily. Forum gossip says she would have been subject to criminal charges though no elaboration on what those charges might be, and further claimed she had gotten away with it because of her very young age – the novelty of forums at the time can’t have hurt her case and no one really knew faking sick online was going to become ‘a thing.’ One of the aforementioned autistic rabbitholes will fill in the details here because that is above my pay grade.

She went to Maple Grove Senior high school, got herself an AA in business from North Hennepin College, and started but did not complete a bachelors degree. By 2006 she was out of school and working at a series of banks. During this time she was apparently caught faking CF again two or three times and scrubbed the evidence. Also, lol at her "about" section simply saying "I'm awesome." Really underlines her whole failure to launch reality.


Sometime in 2006, a site called ‘Friends of Pepe’ was established to raise some funds for a young woman with CF who was awaiting a transplant. Her friends wanted to buy her a Wii so she had something to do (although I don’t know a hospital would let you hook up a game console to the TV. . .) They raised about $600 and did buy the wii for poor little Pepe. Pepe, of course, did not exist. She was a character Gina created, who had boyfriend (?) named Blake who was also, naturally, a figment of Gina’s imagination. The photos of Pepe were actually of one of Gina’s real friends who was unaware. Updates were made by someone named Paul Mooney who claimed to have CF and was post- transplant himself. Over the course of the blog he apparently posted a dramatic series of setbacks and declines in Pepe’s life. By summer, the blog was reaching 275,000 people and the supposedly honest look at transplants was used by real CF patients to decide whether or not to have a transplant. At the same time Gina was on another forum begging for money for Paul’s treatment. People were angry that Pepe was not real and that by all appearances Paul was either complicit or the mastermind using Gina to run scams to fund his lifestyle. It turned out Paul was legit, really had a transplant, was in a long-distance relationship with Gina, and Gina was posing as Blake and feeding him information to post about Pepe. This all unraveled through a blog called Down With the Trolls! Gina emailed apologizing and admitting she did not have CF and was the mastermind behind the Pepe hoax. She also claimed she had contacted Dr. Marc Feldman and had been referred to a psychiatrist to help with her obvious illness faking issue. Consensus is she did not and just wanted to get out of trouble. She reimbursed the funds and disappeared again. Paul Mooney died the next year from his real CF. If you have an hour or so to kill the blog is worth a read, especially the comments sections.

Yes, the munchies have so taken over my google analytics that I now get nothing but Tilite ads.

She seemingly had no job during this period but as much as I would love to laugh at her failures at life some more, it was the middle of the recession. When she got rehired, she took on a series of short term jobs: tech support, call center, temp jobs in manufacturing medical equipment (what a dream come true!), receptionist at a vet clinic (for one month lol), and warehouse staff. Seemed to be going through a temp placement agency.



For a few years she either didn’t scam people (sure) or didn’t get caught and publicly executed on the internet. From her remaining social media, she seems to have been content working with horses and establishing her own riding school although she is a terrible equestrian and has absolutely no business being on the delicate little horses she chooses.

Her videos make this abundantly clear. Or, as @Munchie safari said:

She has two horses a paint mare named Grace and a something-or-other-idk-who-cares named Chipotle (Chip) and there are three other horses at this place she uses for lessons. She trains and competes under Patrick Ruppe and is into the hunter/jumper stuff. I’m probably saying some real dumb shit here because I don’t know a horse from a hernia, but here is the website of her riding school, Sleepy Horse, which apparently operates out of a stable she does not own.




Gosh she's so dreamy.


Oh and here is a notice on her site that she welcomes other hams to come slam their fat asses into these horses’ spines.

In 2015, she made a profile on a dating service for asexuals and it looks like she never used it. I don’t know what part of that sentence is more depressing.


January 22, 2018, the account u/neuroticmare is registered on reddit. This handle is associated with Gina. NeuroticMare has horses (obviously), teaches young riders, is in Minnesota, and participates in r/illnessfakers.


Writes this hilarious post about how munchies don't know they're munchies and believe their own lies. Yes i guess if your like is "I am in pain all day and need heavy painkillers' it is easy to mistake depression/inertia/addiction for illness but I don't think it works that when when you're in your 30s and have functioning lungs but telling people you're 16 and on a ventilator after a double transplant.


From about January until April, neuroticmare didn’t post but when she did she came to IFGW and claimed to have a cat from SJ’s hoarder girlfriend’s fake rescue and the foster totally told her not to send the adoption fee but to “take the cat and run.” If it weren’t already a /thathappened, Caylee’s rescue never operated. That was the fucking problem. She adopted a gross of cats, 144 fucking cats, and put them in her house and a separate facility, but not one left her after she got them and se never used fosters to try to home them because she had no intention of doing so. This is such a stupid and pointless lie. It really helps underline that Gina can never just stick to the truth.


Here's the entirety of her posting history. Pretty dull, but it'll get better soon.

So other than the equine abuse and refusing to admit she need a cob or draft because she is way too fucking fat and rough with her animals, Gina hasn't seemed that interesting in a few years. She hasn't been caught faking CF in a decade, She's got her own business doing something she loves. Of course, if this was the only funny thing about Gina she wouldn't be reporting all of us for suicidal ideation and anything else she can think of in a desperate bid to get us to stop.

As much as I hate to give her what she wants again, we must stop, because in order to explain Gena we have to go back a few years and it is gonna get real weird real fucking fast, and the cringe will pour freely from both the munchie and the hunter as you watch how that fat fuck was able to fool us for six months.

Her first CF claims (that we found) go way back to 1997 on a forum called ACMEPets, which was owned by PetSmart and has been shut down for over 20 years now, a victim of the dot com bubble. Gina was only 13 years old and claimed to have cystic fibrosis. Another frequent poster in this forum had a child with CF and it seems Gina was copying that kid's stories just a little too closely. She was caught and the site apparently shut down temporarily. Forum gossip says she would have been subject to criminal charges though no elaboration on what those charges might be, and further claimed she had gotten away with it because of her very young age – the novelty of forums at the time can’t have hurt her case and no one really knew faking sick online was going to become ‘a thing.’ One of the aforementioned autistic rabbitholes will fill in the details here because that is above my pay grade.

She went to Maple Grove Senior high school, got herself an AA in business from North Hennepin College, and started but did not complete a bachelors degree. By 2006 she was out of school and working at a series of banks. During this time she was apparently caught faking CF again two or three times and scrubbed the evidence. Also, lol at her "about" section simply saying "I'm awesome." Really underlines her whole failure to launch reality.

Sometime in 2006, a site called ‘Friends of Pepe’ was established to raise some funds for a young woman with CF who was awaiting a transplant. Her friends wanted to buy her a Wii so she had something to do (although I don’t know a hospital would let you hook up a game console to the TV. . .) They raised about $600 and did buy the wii for poor little Pepe. Pepe, of course, did not exist. She was a character Gina created, who had boyfriend (?) named Blake who was also, naturally, a figment of Gina’s imagination. The photos of Pepe were actually of one of Gina’s real friends who was unaware. Updates were made by someone named Paul Mooney who claimed to have CF and was post- transplant himself. Over the course of the blog he apparently posted a dramatic series of setbacks and declines in Pepe’s life. By summer, the blog was reaching 275,000 people and the supposedly honest look at transplants was used by real CF patients to decide whether or not to have a transplant. At the same time Gina was on another forum begging for money for Paul’s treatment. People were angry that Pepe was not real and that by all appearances Paul was either complicit or the mastermind using Gina to run scams to fund his lifestyle. It turned out Paul was legit, really had a transplant, was in a long-distance relationship with Gina, and Gina was posing as Blake and feeding him information to post about Pepe. This all unraveled through a blog called Down With the Trolls! Gina emailed apologizing and admitting she did not have CF and was the mastermind behind the Pepe hoax. She also claimed she had contacted Dr. Marc Feldman and had been referred to a psychiatrist to help with her obvious illness faking issue. Consensus is she did not and just wanted to get out of trouble. She reimbursed the funds and disappeared again. Paul Mooney died the next year from his real CF. If you have an hour or so to kill the blog is worth a read, especially the comments sections.

Yes, the munchies have so taken over my google analytics that I now get nothing but Tilite ads.

She seemingly had no job during this period but as much as I would love to laugh at her failures at life some more, it was the middle of the recession. When she got rehired, she took on a series of short term jobs: tech support, call center, temp jobs in manufacturing medical equipment (what a dream come true!), receptionist at a vet clinic (for one month lol), and warehouse staff. Seemed to be going through a temp placement agency.

For a few years she either didn’t scam people (sure) or didn’t get caught and publicly executed on the internet for a few years. From her remaining social media, she seems to have been content working with horses and establishing her own riding school although she is a terrible equestrian and has absolutely no business being on the delicate little horses she chooses.

Her videos make this abundantly clear. Or, as @Munchie safari said:

She has two horses a paint mare named Grace and a something-or-other-idk-who-cares named Chipotle (Chip) and there are three other horses at this place she uses for lessons. She trains and competes under Patrick Ruppe and is into the hunter/jumper stuff. I’m probably saying some real dumb shit here because I don’t know a horse from a hernia, but here is the website of her riding school, Sleepy Horse, which apparently operates out of a stable she does not own.

Oh and here is a notice on her site that she welcomes other hams to come slam their fat asses into these horses’ spines.

In 2015, she made a profile on a dating service for asexuals and it looks like she never used it. I don’t know what part of that sentence is more depressing.

January 22, 2018, the account u/neuroticmare is registered on reddit. This handle is associated with Gina. NeuroticMare has horses (obviously), teaches young riders, is in Minnesota, and participates in r/illnessfakers.

Writes this hilarious post about how munchies don't know they're munchies and believe their own lies. Yes i guess if your like is "I am in pain all day and need heavy painkillers' it is easy to mistake depression/inertia/addiction for illness but I don't think it works that when when you're in your 30s and have functioning lungs but telling people you're 16 and on a ventilator after a double transplant.

From about January until April, neuroticmare didn’t post but when she did she came to IFGW and claimed to have a cat from SJ’s hoarder girlfriend’s fake rescue and the foster totally told her not to send the adoption fee but to “take the cat and run.” If it weren’t already a /thathappened, Caylee’s rescue never operated. That was the fucking problem. She adopted a gross of cats, 144 fucking cats, and put them in her house and a separate facility, but not one left her after she got them and se never used fosters to try to home them because she had no intention of doing so. This is such a stupid and pointless lie. It really helps underline that Gina can never just stick to the truth.

Here's the entirety of her posting history. Pretty dull, but it'll get better soon.

So other than the equine abuse and refusing to admit she need a cob or draft because she is way too fucking fat and rough with her animals, Gina hasn't seemed that interesting in a few years. She hasn't been caught faking CF in a decade, She's got her own business doing something she loves. Of course, if this was the only funny thing about Gina she wouldn't be reporting all of us for suicidal ideation and anything else she can think of in a desperate bid to get us to stop.

As much as I hate to give her what she wants again, we must stop, because in order to explain Gena we have to go back a few years and it is gonna get real weird real fucking fast, and the cringe will pour freely from both the munchie and the hunter as you watch how that fat fuck was able to fool us for six months.

This was worth all the anticipation

I feel so bad for those horses.
