❄️ Snowflake Christine Milneaux - Munchie who came here to sperg [PM sneasel if you wanna do a proper OP on this tard]

[MistressCaridad]

Not to mention the "witch" who fucks ghosts on the astral plane, the skeletal Lich Queen, and a bunch of trans people who are fugly in both genders.

Yes, and don’t forget the fat goth granny who marries teenage boys and dumb rednecks and the horror show mother of two human potatoes (one now deceased) that she uses as living props. One could go on and on and name far more freakish and lulzworthy characters we follow here. Basically, Chrissy is the most boring cow in the parlour.

 

[simulated goat]

ITT kiwis ignore the cow and recommend books to each other.

Good teamwork, team.

I'm hoping the cow picks them up as instructional manuals. Being old victorian paraphilia paraphernalia perhaps creepy English hubbo doesn't care that snoogums is reading the 'Devil's Dictionary'.

 

[cunting season]

any new shit? she flashed her tits yet? because by this point thats really gonna be the only way to get the attention she sooooo craves

 

[AbraCadaver]

Since you're such a fan of old stuff, this would be the best place for you to do that.

I laughed far too hard at this.

And I don’t want to see her tits, if they’re as disappointing as her face. Birds in flower crowns and Childlike Empress headgear never have good tits, just mournful ones.

(Insert “like two suicide notes stuffed in a glitter bra” vid clip)

 

[Munchie_Minder]

@Christine Milneaux, since you seem to be enjoying all this attention and this has been like an AMA, give me the run down. How long did your fevers last and have you had them at all since your last ANA?

you know what you're right
she's probably flat as a fart anyway considering her husband diddles kids and all.

 

[Christine Milneaux]

I've always struggled with fevers, on and off. I've had episodes of fever that would last anywhere from a few hours to several days, but outside of those episodes I never really had a continual fever or elevated temp. I began getting low-grade fevers in October, but in November-- around the time I first got the positive ANA and December I had waves of fever that would last a few days and cause me to drench the bedsheets in sweat every morning. Some weeks after, my baseline temperature settled around 99.6 or 7, so if I'm even the slightest bit ill I'll get a fever of 101 or higher.

Is it just me, though, or does lavender or rose lemonade taste better when one is feeling a little feverish? Not when one has chills, of course, but when the fever is about to break. A bit of mint. Just heaven.

Lol, I stand corrected. You definitely have hypochondriasis in addition to the GAD. P.S. What did they decide about your husband’s sleep apnea? Totally life threatening, right?

How would he feel about knowing you would find someone else to take care of you and the fact that you’ve already tried that once before?

Also, I’m a bit confused as to why you need to get your own insurance? Is this why you need to be sick? Why didn’t you get a job? Why don’t you get insurance from him? How are you still on parents insurance if you’re married? There are a few things that are making me question your consistency in your story.

“I suffer from constant low-grade fevers off and on” is this century’s answer to “I have the vapours.”

In other words, doesn’t feel like getting out of bed some days. I’d say its a lazy excuse to cancel plans last-minute on friends, but we know she doesn’t go out with friends.

Also fuckin hell this slag is BORING. “I have fevers sometimes, what an ECCENTRIC WOMAN I AM.” Can we just confine her to this thread and then jettison the thread? She doesn’t belong in the parlour if she can’t do better than that. Move her to Proving Grounds and make her earn it like everyone else or merge with the main Munchie thread. If GlitterandLasers isn’t even good enough for her own thread, I don’t see how Tess of the D’Ullbervilles here is.

Lol, bish gets the flu and thinks it is Lupus. That’s kinda funny. Aches and pains, fevers on and off for a few weeks as the virus sheds, positive inflammation marker, flushing. Christine: omg I have Ebola.

Second the motion to move back to proving grounds. All who are in favor, “press 1”.

P.S. Chrissy dear, you have failed at being an anorexic, failed at being a chronic illness warrior, your next mission must be to transition. Throw gnomie into a real good loop. Toodles!

Sigh. Okay, I'll bite.

Anything less than 100F really isn't a clinically important fever. If you have a slightly elevated basal temperature, that's not a fever - human beings vary and not everyone's resting temperature is the classic 98.6. Think of heart rate - normal range is anything from 50-100, depending on all kinds of different factors. Variations from the person's normal value are more important than absolute values - if an athletic young person with a usual HR of 50 shows up in the ED going around 90, that's worrying, but that same heart rate of 90 might be completely normal for someone older, less fit, more overweight, on certain medications etc.

Same applies for your temperature. Low grade temps of 99-100 are only really important if that's a change from your baseline. I really shouldn't have to explain that having a low fever of 101 during an infectious illness is extremely normal and not a cause for concern.

It sounds as though the initial time in Nov/Dec when you had fevers, sweats and the positive ANA, you probably had the flu or something similar, which can last for weeks and leave you feeling pretty rubbish for even longer.

Nothing you've written is a description of someone that is actually having ongoing idiopathic fevers in a way that is concerning. The pattern you describe sounds completely normal, and doesn't raise any flags for having some undiagnosed autoimmune or chronic infectious disorder. It sounds diagnostic for being a human.

Again. Second opinion. Specific health anxiety/factitious illness therapy. Stop the obsessive behaviour (constant temperature checking, posting about symptoms online, asking for reassurance, researching lupus/autoimmune disease survival rates, engaging with forums like this). MOVE ON and live your life. I'm sorry that you're suffering but if you refuse to make any changes to your behaviour then this is not going to change and things will only stay the same or even worsen further.

I fully expect you to take no notice of all of this and continue with your fixed beliefs but my autistic compulsion to correct bad science wouldn't let this lie. Go ahead and gimme dem puzzle pieces, I know what I'm about.

You’re a man shouting into the wind, but at least you did it proper.

Exactly. Her “oh so serious” fevers are nothing. Usually people are encouraged to go to the ER when the fever hits 104 or higher, for a fever of 101 they’ll just tell you “meh, lukewarm baths and Tylenol so you don’t feel like shit”. Organ damage begins occurring at 106-107 but that’s a long way to go from 99-101.

(Source: I worked in an ER and we regularly had people coming in freaking out at their 101.9 degree FEVER when they had the flu or an ear infection. Sure it makes you feel crappy but... It’s not that big a deal)

Seconded and adding that “drenching the bedsheets with sweat” isn’t that alarming either...night sweats occur with a lot of people and are actually a common minor effect of some medications, as well as caused by menopause, abscesses, anxiety...basically loads of things. Even taking aspirin too often can trigger night sweats. It’s less a sign of SERIOUS DYING FEVERS and more a by-product of literally anything, including a regular dose of Tylenol.

Yeah, very true. Gross and uncomfortable, but not dangerous. In fact, a very hot, dry fever is more concerning because seeing that sweat is the body’s cooling mechanism, if there’s no sweat, there’s no cooling going on.

Honestly if the only things she’s got are a higher-than-normal baseline temp and sweating a lot at night (which anyone on an SSRI will tell you is habitual, easily managed and to go piss up a rope for making it out to be a big deal), then that’s sad.

Her precious deathly illness sounds more like one too many aspirins and a lot of time spent on WebMD. Even Victorian doctors would probably classify her as an annoying malingerer.

“I’m hot and sweaty and I wear corsets a lot” does not a lolcow make. I hope she’s faffed off to another site for attention, hopefully one with lower standards.

 

[Burn Book]

I wonder what she even does all day. She doesn't work. She probably is not at school either. I doubt she does cooking or chores, considering she's ~~super ill~~ (with... an occasional fever, I guess?) Her terrible prose would suggest she doesn't read. She doesn't seem to have any hobbies either. Like, what can you do with all this time?
But she's too boring to be a lolcow anyway.

 

[Pocket Dragoon]

Not wallpaper that I know if, but some yellow pottery is glazed with uranium and the yellow paint formulated for school buses in the 1930s was made with hexavalent chromium.

There's also "radium"/uranium glassware.

The stuff is awesome because it glows under blacklight; vaseline glass too, although it ain't radioactive.

It's a diary. The quotes aren't actually interesting. They're short, unflowery records like "scaled my teeth for one hour in the morning, removed much plaque."

You know, like normal people in the 19th century wrote.

I've frequently come across personal papers & journals/diaries at estate auctions at old farms & such. A lot of it was about bodily processes & sickness, because there wasn't much else to talk about.

"September 24th, 1910"​

"Piles are persistent. The poultice of ginger & peppermint given me by kindly Mdm. Lingus is quite bracing."

"March 11th, 1910"​

"Boil has gone south. Itches intensely, has the aspect of a rotten buckeye.
Mr. Annal lances boils for two bits, with mirth & whiskey, but a surgeon will take my leg."

Edit: the reason Lister is important is because she was a fairly open and gender non-conforming lesbian who kept voluminous, often sexually explicit diaries in the first half of the 19th century; because all of them survive to this day; and because she wrote them in a code she invented.

I knew of Lister before, but this thread has provided a surprising amount of big learnin' about her in a very short time.

Impressive.

 

[heathercho]

I have worked out the mystery malady Christine is suffering from and to be quite frank, I am disappointed she didn't even know what it was.
You say you're a Victorian lit fan? For shame, you dolt.

You have brain fever.

Percy Phelps came down with a nasty case of it in The Adventure of The Naval Treaty.

Dr Watson would agree with me. You have brain fever. Why didn't you research victorian health conditions before you settled on a rather modern condition?

Your delusional state from brain fever is why.

Case closed.

 

[Christine Milneaux]

I needed the insurance because I was turning 26 and wouldn't be able to stay on my father's. Mr. S. did put me on his plan this month, so we shall see how our accounts fare.

And he knows about the affair, and knows I'd jump ship if he became abusive. We sit down together and have loving but frank contingency-plan talks every once in a while.

Brain fever???

As in encephalitis?? Or meningitis, it's one of those, I forget.

I would have thought about brain fever except that it translates into such acute and deadly illnesses in modern parlance. Everyone would read "brain fever" and think encephalitis. I've actually considered that it could be brain fever before, but the archaic illness sadly no longer has a clinical definition, to the best of my knowledge, and the modern illness is definitely not something I have. You would think that with the vomiting and the muscle spasms, it would be accurate, but I could easily attribute the muscle spasms too much MMJ and cerebral palsy, and since the vomiting correlates with nervousness my MMJ doctor thinks it's either an allergy to a strain or a nervous response.

Whichever one of you said that a paragraph of mine "legitimately reads like Joyce," I saw that, I should have screenshotted it, and I love you too.
