Do you ever wonder how they do it? Because my doctor refuses to even believe you've got a cold never mind out else 😭
YES!! I have a GP family member and she said that it is an increasing problem often with the same set of illnesses. they all say 'self diagnosis is valid'.
Often they purchase medical equipment themselves and seek out private opinions when they are denied either by the GP or at a specialists assessment. one girl ive watched for a while has only just let slip that her major diagnosis was done privately as the NHS ' couldnt help her'

They all google the symptoms and as a lot of them are not visible it is impossible to refute them in a verbal consultation

WHERE TO EVEN BEGIN with munchy Cat B

- edit to say this link is looking weird so:
username catb1112 on tiktok.

She is the biggest professional victim ive seen. She is 'self diagnosed' or lying about most of her illnesses. if youre ever bored do a deep dive on her back to like 2022... she used to have a feeding tube though she is massive, and it would be impossible to maintina the weight she was with her feeds. she was chowing down on food on the side and eventually the doctors made her take it out. i could go on forever about her but her latest thing is shes convinced she has EDS though shes shown no proof. and her 'physio says she has it'.
shes always in pain prob cos shes massive but she manages to go kayaking. its ridiculous

@HairyPoppins welcome! i really want peioples opinions on Mystical Animal Lover and CatB1112. I feel like Cat is more obviously full of s but Mystical is an ABSOLUTE malingerer of the highest order. but she has 10000s of adoring fans and hardly ever has any negativity.

Thought I would create a thread to discuss all things munchy as it is a phenomena rapidly growing online and one that fascinates me.
Are we talking people who use illness to gain via tik tok or ones who just roll onto tik tok and get rewarded for it?

Post in thread 'sweet but bitter'

This might be interesting to some. Shows a very questionable timeline of diagnosis Of Jodie Leigh (blue haired Jodie)
i mean shes literally a professional victim. these people that make friends online and then instantly trauma dump their 100 illnesses to people are always a red flag. seems like she did that and then it all came out that she was a total fraud. these types are everywhere arent they!

Wish I could remember name of creator! I’ll find her I’m sure. Anyway she’s got everything going, even says has seizures, that she’s allowed to drive 😂 non epileptic, says never excluded from driving, at a MINIMUM she would be excluded for 3 months 🙄 thinks she’s above rules around driving 😂. She literally makes no sense, and her illnesses are WORST Drs have ever seen etc.

As someone who has been diagnosed with chronic illnesses over 10 years ago, I feel embarrassed telling people as so many people blag it. I was diagnosed by a consultant and refused to accept it at first. Now I have a good treatment plan and a job that allows me to be flexible with my hours when need be which I am grateful for. I wouldn’t have the energy to make tik tok videos or go live for hours- just watching them exhausts me.

I went down the rabbit hole 🙄 jeez she bullied that manager looking at the feedback. She had a huge chip on her shoulder about feedback.

Yeah it was interesting to see that in actual fact she was also the aggressor and problem causer as well. Imagine if your job was to judge on an employment tribunal I had no idea it would all be so silly and gossipy
