Wowwww, that was a hell of a drop and a horrible ride. This is the stuff of nightmares for any person with children or contemplating having them. These are heartbreaking, demonstrating both the lengths her parents went to try and cure her and the emotional toll it took on the entire family. Glad her mom finally cut her off.Ah well, I lost the Paige deathpool, but I return to the internet with gifts. People on IFGW found Paige's mom's account on a support group for parents of eating disordered children. At the start she is is hemming between Paige being controlled by her eating disorder and being convinced her daughter wants to eat but can't because of physical problems. Eventually becomes convinced that Paige has recovered from her ED and is suffering lifelong severe consequences of it. Slowly realizes Paige is making herself sick, that she abuses her medications and refuses physio or to keep up on her hygiene. Ends with her flat-out saying Paige has munchausen and she has cut all ties with her because Paige made false abuse claims against her. Miserable little cunt she is.
Warning, hearing this shit from her mom's perspective is kinda fucking heartbreaking. Parents did everything to help her and she shat all over their efforts. By the time mom started posting Paige had already been IP 8 times, tried to kill herself in front of her siblings, was unable to attend school, had thrown most hopes of a future out, and was living in a residential treatment facility that was apparently unable to force her to do anything to keep herself alive, therefore requiring her parents to have weekly battles to get her stabilized at a hospital.
While we have no specific proof this is her (as in, she never posts a photo or anything definitive), she makes friends on the forum that she meets IRL, and she and they sometimes slip up and refer to Paige by her name. That plus all of the details aligning with what Paige posts is enough to convince me.

First post she made in 2015, when Paige was 16, almost 17, detailing how resistant Paige was while in ED treatment. She's in residential and keeps sabotaging her progress. Mom is miserable, sometimes suicidal, and every time she gets Paige placed somewhere she has a miracle recovery until she gets discharged to do it all over. Mom has endometriosis and needs surgery but her whole life is devoted to making Paige stop killing herself. Paige takes advantage of mom being unable to physically stop her. The other two children have developmental/processing disorders and their own therapies take a backseat to Paige's constant screeching. Dad works and Paige tries to talk him into retrieving/discharging her occasionally.

Ver archivo adjunto 1113534Ver archivo adjunto 1113535
At home, Paige won't even drink water. (Mom explains over many posts that Paige is considered a "super refuser" and that at her worst she won't even swallow her own saliva, and that she secretly exercises whenever people aren't watching her.) Paige doesn't give a shit about consequences and knows how to manipulate everyone around her. [LSUYE = life stops until you eat] At residential, she's tube fed but still keeping herself sick. Parents have seemingly resigned themselves to the fact that she's never going to get better.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113538Ver archivo adjunto 1113544Ver archivo adjunto 1113554
Paige gets sectioned when she starts self harming and giving herself infections
Ver archivo adjunto 1113558Ver archivo adjunto 1113559Ver archivo adjunto 1113560
On Insta paige occasionally writes about how her numerous injuries as a teen were signs she had EDS. Mom explains the same injuries as artifacts of overexercise and throwing herself around. No weight gain despite being tubed.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113571Ver archivo adjunto 1113580Ver archivo adjunto 1113590
Paige has been attending school outside of her residential on a very limited basis just to have a social life, but upon hitting 17 (which is apparently the age for medical consent in NZ) decides she's leaving residential, leaving school, and getting into a pastry chef course. Parents use the baking course as leverage - you eat or you don't go.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113577Ver archivo adjunto 1113588
After her parents get her to eat food, Paige matter-of-factly tells them she's now a binge-purge anorexic so their efforts meant nothing. Purging has never been discussed by her team before.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113595
Paige finds out she has a hereditary disposition towards heart issues; is furious when the doctors tell her that's not the reason she's sick. Paige decides to starve and dehydrate herself until she gives herself heart problems.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113599
Despite just admitting to purging, Paige now claims the vomiting is not her fault
Ver archivo adjunto 1113604
Back in hospital (for "gastroenteritis"), Paige is offended that she's on 24 hour watch and that includes following her to the bathroom, and that the doctors are ignoring her gastro complaints and treat her for her ED instead. Cries to mummy until the watch is lifted. Purges in the shower and gets caught anyway. Mom keeps her at the hospital even after realizing this is just more ED bullshit because at least she's not the one having to watch her.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113606Ver archivo adjunto 1113612
Has a gastroscopy. Nothing is wrong. Paige is claiming her anorexia magically fucked off and now she's got only physical issues. Mom is skeptical to say the least. Paige uses this to divide her parents, with her dad saying to stop engaging with the mom because he believes her. Mom entertains the idea that it's gastroparesis based on what other posters say. Paige latches onto this and ends all treatment except those that might net her a GP diagnosis. Mom pretends to believe her in order to get her back on NG feeds, hopefully NJ feeds she can't purge. Tactic works and Paige agrees to a tube to keep her "gastroparesis" story intact
Ver archivo adjunto 1113617Ver archivo adjunto 1113618Ver archivo adjunto 1113623Ver archivo adjunto 1113629Ver archivo adjunto 1113649
Ver archivo adjunto 1113650
Annndd within two weeks she's sabotaged it and ended up back in the hospital with critically low potassium. Still claiming she no longer has an ED. Claims she vomits up her tube but just replaces it and carries on. Mom is now demanding NJ feeds.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113654Ver archivo adjunto 1113655Ver archivo adjunto 1113656Ver archivo adjunto 1113659
Rediagnosed with a somatic disorder. Sure, jan. Doctors no longer believe her and tell her to just fucking eat.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113662Ver archivo adjunto 1113719
Someone tries to get mom to see that her daughter is still purging, mom has a mild chimpout
Ver archivo adjunto 1113721
Doctors will do no more testing, nurses don't want her in a wheelchair, mom does not understand. Paige is compliant with everything.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113724Ver archivo adjunto 1113743
Mom still doubts this is actually recovery and calls Paige's version of events alternate reality. But still seeking testing and trying to get her into an intestinal failure center (they reject her as they only handle cases on TPN)
Ver archivo adjunto 1113750Ver archivo adjunto 1113752
They get her into an observation on the children and family unit. Miraculously, with someone watching her 100% of the time, she gains. Mom is now half-convinced her gastro problems are real because she threw up her tube in front of nurses, etc. Dad hates having her at the hospital. Paige is in her element. Mom is happy to have a break from Paige. But Paige turns 18 and officially ages out of this service, too. Doctors declare her cured of her anorexia, and she gets a wig for her hair loss. Mom is 100% over Paige using her anorexia as an excuse to do nothing with her life.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113758Ver archivo adjunto 1113764Ver archivo adjunto 1113770Ver archivo adjunto 1113774
Paige has an X-ray that shows gastric emptying problems (?) but doctors attribute it to an infection she picked up at the hospital. Note: mom has been asking for a GES by name so I don't think that's what Paige had here.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113778
Paige tanks her potassium, mom now convinced it's bulimia. Sometimes. Paige pukes on the doctor and still gets discharged. Mom thinks that, in particular, is not voluntarily because she would never~ Mom wants Paige out of her house because Paige constantly demands more "stuff" and more attention and resents anything the other kids get.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113786Ver archivo adjunto 1113793Ver archivo adjunto 1113794Ver archivo adjunto 1113802Ver archivo adjunto 1113805
Another gastro - another bulimia DX
Ver archivo adjunto 1113819Ver archivo adjunto 1113820
Another gastro - this one gets his hackles up because they go in demanding an NJ and nothing less. Mom talks about scrubbing vomit off the walls of her house. Doctor ultimately says NJ tube won't make a difference.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113832Ver archivo adjunto 1113834
2016 ends on a happy-ish note when Paige "graduates" the high school she barely attended. Parents see all the other kids graduate and reflect on the might-have-beens and how Paige's nonsense affects their other children, but are also happy she seems to finally be moving forward with life and will be attending her pastry course.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113850
In January, Mom announces that Paige really did have the gastroparesis (but that she's staying on NG tube feeding and later a PEG tube if necessary. Paige is eating and drinking, attending her culinary program, and no longer exercising. Mom is now fully convinced all of Paige's problems are real and after-effects of her ED.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113867Ver archivo adjunto 1113868
The other shoe drops. Mom starts a new thread (first in over a year) to talk about how shit life is. Paige's stomach and intestines no longer work but the hospital will won't NJ tube her. Keep telling her shit will improve if Paige eats and doesn't purge. Paige plays on their emotions because she is soooo scaaared now.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113869
Ver archivo adjunto 1113870
Paige convinces mom she's really for real dying. Mom buys a wheelchair and writes paige's eulogy (!!!)
Ver archivo adjunto 1113891
Late 2017, Paige gets approved for the Sad Walrus Tube Combo. On realizing that the NJ tube will prevent her from purging everything, Paige admits it was all a lie for attention but mom, now convinced Paige is really sick, dismisses this.
Ver archivo adjunto 1114004Ver archivo adjunto 1114006
NJ tube in but NG removed, Paige starts "blacking out"
Ver archivo adjunto 1114009
Within a few weeks Paige dislodges her new NJ tube (incidentally while her friend who has an ED is staying over, what are the odds!)
Ver archivo adjunto 1114014
When it's replaced, mom says the doc pierced her septum and threaded it through both nostrils. I'm guessing they actually bridled her because I've never heard of them just straight up doing that but hell, maybe. Paige tries to ruin a family vacation.
Ver archivo adjunto 1114016
Mom's beloved dog dies on her birthday and her bother is sickened by his classmates. Paige gets annoyed at the fact that the attention is not on her and pukes up her NJ tube then comes in with it dangling out of her mouth. Paige's doctors give her permission to insert her own NGs from now on. Mom is aware Paige is still eating/drinking things that make her sick and refusing to change her diet but thinks it's just her being stubborn and 19. This is about where Paige's current IG starts.
Ver archivo adjunto 1114016Ver archivo adjunto 1114018Ver archivo adjunto 1114021
Paige's real "health problems" begin in Feb 2018 with cellulitis and seizures, now that she can't just keep starving herself for mummy's attention.
Ver archivo adjunto 1114024
Paige moves out with a friend - mom is happy-ish.
Ver archivo adjunto 1114026
April 2018, Paige is diagnosed with epilepsy. Comes home for a visit and family find she's abusing her medications including morphine. After much arguing, Paige moves home. There's much to do about the morphine dose which is reduced from 10 mL every 4 hours to 4 every 6 despite paige's screeching.
Ver archivo adjunto 1114029Ver archivo adjunto 1114039Ver archivo adjunto 1114040Ver archivo adjunto 1114051
And in August, mom says that the mystery casts were, in fact, to keep paige from infecting her lines after she fucked with her PICC.
Ver archivo adjunto 1114058
Mom takes some of the blame for being complicit and "advocating" for Paige all the time
Ver archivo adjunto 1114059
Paige gets a case of the pukies whenever they try to raise her feed rate. Mom chimps out, hospital tries to section Paige, mom chimps out even more. Hospital tries legal proceedings under the apparent assumption that Mom is mbping Paige.
Ver archivo adjunto 1114061Ver archivo adjunto 1114063Ver archivo adjunto 1114064
Mom realizes Paige is sabotaging her own care for attention. Hospital gets her under 24/7 watch.
Ver archivo adjunto 1114070
Paige won't let anyone clean her, makes mom do the job. Mom realizes this total lack of hygiene is why Paige always has UTIs and various infections. Mom takes time off of being Paige's whipping boy to deal with her own health. Paige has a meltdown and cuts off all contact with them. Mom happy.
Ver archivo adjunto 1114075Ver archivo adjunto 1114076Ver archivo adjunto 1114077
Mom finally cuts Paige off entirely when Paige lies in court about her upbringing being abusive
Ver archivo adjunto 1114083
And here it is. Under 24/7 obs, Paige gains weight. With her ability to handle her own meds taken away, her potassium stops crashing. Mom realizes she has "anorexia with a healthy side of munchausen" and when Paige admit that this was all for attention back in 2017 she was, in fact, telling the truth for once. Father and middle daughter still believe Paige and it's ripping the family apart.
Ver archivo adjunto 1114084
Paige tries to sweet talk her way back into the family - family realizes it's because she's left stashes of opiates at their house and she has become a drug seeker. Dad still wants to be part of her life. Mom does not.
Ver archivo adjunto 1114095Ver archivo adjunto 1114096Ver archivo adjunto 1114097
Her last post, just a month ago. Paige came back into their lives and immediately fucked up. Mom realizes she's happy being sick, that being sick is what gives her life purpose, and she has munchausens. She decides to no longer post on an ED recovery website as her daughter's weight is restored and stable but it's made no difference, and so she cut her out of her life.
Ver archivo adjunto 1114107
So there it is from the horse's mouth. Paige has munchausen, her family and her doctors know it, the casts were to keep her from fucking with her lines, and they're leaving her to die because she doesn't want to live. Wow, what a ride.
All our munchie girls would be so jealous of our avi's right now





















































That was.... a tripHello. Welcome to the story of twins Ab♭y and N!cole Sams of Athens, Georgia and their munchie folie à deux. You may know them, they're "famous."
Yes, now this is a completely sane human being...
Ver archivo adjunto 1116600
Sidenote: I know my screenshots are always huge. I don't know how to change the settings on my computer, but I don't care that much.
Name: N!cole Sams, also went by Danni Sams at one point
Age: 21
"Diagnoses": Gastroparesis
EDS
POTS
Fibromyalgia
Hashimoto's
Oropharyngeal dysphagia
Anxiety
Depression
OCD
PTSD
Celiac disease
Others at times including neuropathy, colds, insomnia, excoriation, trichtillomania, generalized mental illness etc etc
Name: Ab♭y Sams
Age: 21
"Diagnoses": EDS
Reflex sympathetic dystrophy/
Complex regional pain syndrome
POTS
CFS
Endometriosis
"Tumors" (related to endo? idk, she just tags it)
Others at times including neuropathy, etc
The Sams girls start out in approximately 2015 as basically normal teenagers. Nicole seems to have trich and excoriation (also known as skin picking) at that time and had to shave her hair. But otherwise they were your average teens; Nicole read lots of books and liked to read dying people pornVer archivo adjunto 1116630
Her sister also liked to read dying people porn, although did not seem to struggle with the psychological issues her twin did
Ver archivo adjunto 1116631
These two really liked this fucking book
Ver archivo adjunto 1116633
Also they're into Christianity. They frequently post about God/ Jesus. Abby went on a mission trip or some such thing in high school/ early college
Ver archivo adjunto 1116636
Am I the only one who gets upset when white girls use black children as props for photos on the 'gram? I can't be the only one.
So Nicole goes to college in Chicago, while Abby goes to college closer to home in Athens, GA. Nicole, presumably because of her trich and excoriation, raises money for a psychiatric service dog-- and gets one.
Ver archivo adjunto 1116648
Ver archivo adjunto 1116652
Ver archivo adjunto 1116638
This dog's name is Mercy. She writes a TON about Mercy and gets her all these patches, with #raisingmercy
Ver archivo adjunto 1116639
After a certain point, we do not hear about Mercy again.
Ver archivo adjunto 1116643
Ver archivo adjunto 1116645
Also during this time she was SUPER into the Frey Life.
So then after that she gets another service dog, Ziva.
Ver archivo adjunto 1116653
Ver archivo adjunto 1116654
And then, out of nowhere, Ziva had to go too.
Ver archivo adjunto 1116655
Also, maybe I'm making too much of this, but she posted enough pathetic pictures of her food that it a little bit seemed eating-restrictive-ish. This becomes important later.
Ver archivo adjunto 1116656
At about this time, Abby, who for all intents and purposes seemed healthy, appears in a wheelchair in Nicole's family photo:
Ver archivo adjunto 1116660
So we'll backtrack to show you why this seems sudden.
This is Abby's instagram from 2015-2016ish:
Ver archivo adjunto 1116661

Ver archivo adjunto 1116664
Ver archivo adjunto 1116665
Ver archivo adjunto 1116666
Ver archivo adjunto 1116668
Look, I don't know how much she's lifting here or really even what burpees are cuz I'm a lardarse. But she seems healthy.
But then bam. Wheelchair.
At around this time, Nicole becomesCoMplEtElY uNAbLe tO eAT!
Also she got a new service pitbull named Pippi.
Ver archivo adjunto 1116684
Ver archivo adjunto 1116682
Why can everybody still drink Starbucks, though?
Ver archivo adjunto 1116693
She promptly got a nasogastric tube, which she hated and complained about a lot. Also dis some real infantilization shiz right here.
Ver archivo adjunto 1116689
Ver archivo adjunto 1116695
Ver archivo adjunto 1116696
Around this time Pippi starts to do more and more tasks that seem just... questionable. Like wheat/gluten alert? Any pitbull I've ever met will "alert" to anything whatsoever if it seems like they might get to eat it, from jelly beans to hot dogs to even, say, drywall.
Ver archivo adjunto 1116697
Nicole admits Pippi gets excited to check foods because she's a hongry girle
Ver archivo adjunto 1116700
Heartrate alerts... aka the dog likes to be near you.
Ver archivo adjunto 1116699
Also please don't think these humans weren't begging for money. They were.
Ver archivo adjunto 1116702
Ver archivo adjunto 1116719
DPT= cuddles
Ver archivo adjunto 1116720
And a mobility harness for Pippi. Pippi is a big girl, but not a mobility dog.
Oh yeah, and somewhere in there she was "diagnosed" with EDS and POTS, which she announced with this post
Ver archivo adjunto 1116687
Abby also got a service dog who they called Moo, who was around for a short time, but we never heard about her again:
Ver archivo adjunto 1116704
By the way, Abby is going through her own things at this time. Being UnDIAgnOseD, getting IV treatments:
Ver archivo adjunto 1116706
Nicole, meanwhile, has finally gotten the best trophy of them all:
Ver archivo adjunto 1116709
Ver archivo adjunto 1116712
Here she is, recovering from getting her G-tube inserted, eating a pop-tart. As the kids say, "and I oop."
This led Nicole to such fuckery as this on her social media:
Ver archivo adjunto 1116713
What. The. Actual. Fuck.
Oh, also guess what? She put DoTerra oil on her stoma when it got infected. Comprehend that one.
Ver archivo adjunto 1116717
Ver archivo adjunto 1116718
Abby has a new service dog, Atlas, that's she trainingVer archivo adjunto 1116730
Does handcycle racing
Ver archivo adjunto 1116735
Speaks in forums on accesibilty
Ver archivo adjunto 1116737
And recycles a lot, so she's better than you.
That essentially brings us up to present day, I think. Ver archivo adjunto 1116722
Oh, but I didn't mention how they're famous.
Abby was featured in Aerie (underwear line by clothing company Aeropostale) either print or online ads, I'm not sure which
Ver archivo adjunto 1116723
In her wheelchair, which she very much needs.
And Nicole was featured in this article about her superpowered gluten-detecting dog
Ver archivo adjunto 1116725
I find how Abby explains their diagnoses SO interesting.
Ver archivo adjunto 1116759
Ver archivo adjunto 1116741
Abby says she got a service dog because she could pass out/ doesn't have the dexterity if she, say, drops her wallet in Target.
Ver archivo adjunto 1116742
But like, dis.
Ver archivo adjunto 1116743
Abby says her complex regional pain syndrome is caused by a 7th grade knee injury. I'm under the impression that this is more often the case of traumatic injury caused by car accidents or injuries from war, ie shrapnel.
Ver archivo adjunto 1116745
Ver archivo adjunto 1116746
Ver archivo adjunto 1116747
One migraine for a full year? That sounds hard to believe.
Ver archivo adjunto 1116753
One has to have serious, serious doubts that someone who baffled doctors with knee issues would have been able to be a competitive crossfit athlete. Possible but not probable.
Ver archivo adjunto 1116756
And look, I know she's wearing a brace in this picture, but she looks so UNflexible.
Ver archivo adjunto 1116758
Even though the caption is supposed to make the reader suggestible, I'm not buying it.
The about me slides say the twins were diagnosed by a geneticist at Emory. But also anyone can say anything.
She also claims that her mother was flexible and that the genes mutated, and that's why the girls have EDS. I'm not going to take time to look that up in the scientific journals, but if someone's got time I'd love to see some research on that, as well as this one:
Ver archivo adjunto 1116761
I very much believe TTTS is a thing, just maybe not what they think it is.
And still shopping around for more problems, I see.
Ver archivo adjunto 1116738Ver archivo adjunto 1116739
Ultimately, I think the important takeaway is this:
Ver archivo adjunto 1116762
Ver archivo adjunto 1116763
No matter what every medical professional says, if you believe you're sick, you're right.
What the fuck is she even on about with the twins are more likely to be affected if mother is a carrier. What type of EDS do these people claim? Because Hypermobile EDS is a dominant inheritance pattern. Yes, it’s possible that identical twins could be affected by a de novo mutation, but in that case the mom would NOT be a carrier. Recessive type of EDS would be more likely to be kyphoscoliotic. I find it hard to believe that someone with EDS goes from CrossFit to this in a matter of years. This is part of the problem with people like Jaq Jaq who made it seem like EDS equals a need for every intervention known to medical science. Many people with EDS can do a lot of demanding sports early in their life, and then there is a gradual decline, as muscle mass is lost, particularly in women who go through pregnancy. It is completely absurd to think an active woman with a few sports injuries would become completely disabled “tubie” at 21. The EDS online support groups have become a hotbed of munchies.Hello.

Abby also got a service dog who they called Moo, who was around for a short time, but we never heard about her again:

By the way, Abby is going through her own things at this time. Being UnDIAgnOseD, getting IV treatments:

Nicole, meanwhile, has finally gotten the best trophy of them all:

Ver archivo adjunto 1116712
Here she is, recovering from getting her G-tube inserted, eating a pop-tart. As the kids say, "and I oop."
This led Nicole to such fuckery as this on her social media:

What. The. Actual. Fuck.
Oh, also guess what? She put DoTerra oil on her stoma when it got infected. Comprehend that one.

That essentially brings us up to present day, I think. Ver archivo adjunto 1116722
Oh, but I didn't mention how they're famous.
Abby was featured in Aerie (underwear line by clothing company Aeropostale) either print or online ads, I'm not sure which
Ver archivo adjunto 1116723
In her wheelchair, which she very much needs.
And Nicole was featured in this article about her superpowered gluten-detecting dog
Ver archivo adjunto 1116725
I find how Abby explains their diagnoses SO interesting.
Ver archivo adjunto 1116759
Ver archivo adjunto 1116741
Abby says she got a service dog because she could pass out/ doesn't have the dexterity if she, say, drops her wallet in Target.
Ver archivo adjunto 1116742
But like, dis.
Ver archivo adjunto 1116743
Abby says her complex regional pain syndrome is caused by a 7th grade knee injury. I'm under the impression that this is more often the case of traumatic injury caused by car accidents or injuries from war, ie shrapnel.
Ver archivo adjunto 1116745
Ver archivo adjunto 1116746
Ver archivo adjunto 1116747
One migraine for a full year? That sounds hard to believe.
Ver archivo adjunto 1116753
One has to have serious, serious doubts that someone who baffled doctors with knee issues would have been able to be a competitive crossfit athlete. Possible but not probable.
Ver archivo adjunto 1116756
And look, I know she's wearing a brace in this picture, but she looks so UNflexible.
Ver archivo adjunto 1116758
Even though the caption is supposed to make the reader suggestible, I'm not buying it.
The about me slides say the twins were diagnosed by a geneticist at Emory. But also anyone can say anything.
She also claims that her mother was flexible and that the genes mutated, and that's why the girls have EDS. I'm not going to take time to look that up in the scientific journals, but if someone's got time I'd love to see some research on that, as well as this one:
Ver archivo adjunto 1116761
I very much believe TTTS is a thing, just maybe not what they think it is.
And still shopping around for more problems, I see.
Ver archivo adjunto 1116738Ver archivo adjunto 1116739
Ultimately, I think the important takeaway is this:
Ver archivo adjunto 1116762
Ver archivo adjunto 1116763
No matter what every medical professional says, if you believe you're sick, you're right.
What the fuck is she even on about with the twins are more likely to be affected if mother is a carrier. What type of EDS do these people claim? Because Hypermobile EDS is a dominant inheritance pattern. Yes, it’s possible that identical twins could be affected by a de novo mutation, but in that case the mom would NOT be a carrier. Recessive type of EDS would be more likely to be kyphoscoliotic. I find it hard to believe that someone with EDS goes from CrossFit to this in a matter of years. This is part of the problem with people like Jaq Jaq who made it seem like EDS equals a need for every intervention known to medical science. Many people with EDS can do a lot of demanding sports early in their life, and then there is a gradual decline, as muscle mass is lost, particularly in women who go through pregnancy. It is completely absurd to think an active woman with a few sports injuries would become completely disabled “tubie” at 21. The EDS online support groups have become a hotbed of munchies.
Just in from Bee's World. Give her £5 and she will teach you to draw burning fawns and Princess Diana (?) with your mouth.
If I didnt know better I'd assume she had become self aware and started troll posting.
The suits are quite nice, but my mask is clogged with powdered sugar already.All our munchie girls would be so jealous of our avi's right now
I'm double suited just in caseThe suits are quite nice, but my mask is clogged with powdered sugar already.
Munchies will just double down and get their own quarantine box. Paige should be put in one just because.
If we have to gofundme to get you a protective suit, then by golly, we are just going to have to do it! We simply cannot have you succumbing to cooties of any form. You bring so many good dairy products to everyone here.Yeah NGL I laughed at Skinwalker grinning in her quarantine bubble for a good 15 minutes. I just came back from a short Disney vacation with about 18 strains of the flu, and now I have to laugh at all the "immunodeficient" munchies who go there every other day and never have a cold.
what a miserable cunt paige is,Ah well, I lost the Paige deathpool, but I return to the internet with gifts. People on IFGW found Paige's mom's account on a support group for parents of eating disordered children. At the start she is is hemming between Paige being controlled by her eating disorder and being convinced her daughter wants to eat but can't because of physical problems. Eventually becomes convinced that Paige has recovered from her ED and is suffering lifelong severe consequences of it. Slowly realizes Paige is making herself sick, that she abuses her medications and refuses physio or to keep up on her hygiene. Ends with her flat-out saying Paige has munchausen and she has cut all ties with her because Paige made false abuse claims against her. Miserable little cunt she is.
Warning, hearing this shit from her mom's perspective is kinda fucking heartbreaking. Parents did everything to help her and she shat all over their efforts. By the time mom started posting Paige had already been IP 8 times, tried to kill herself in front of her siblings, was unable to attend school, had thrown most hopes of a future out, and was living in a residential treatment facility that was apparently unable to force her to do anything to keep herself alive, therefore requiring her parents to have weekly battles to get her stabilized at a hospital.
While we have no specific proof this is her (as in, she never posts a photo or anything definitive), she makes friends on the forum that she meets IRL, and she and they sometimes slip up and refer to Paige by her name. That plus all of the details aligning with what Paige posts is enough to convince me.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113537
First post she made in 2015, when Paige was 16, almost 17, detailing how resistant Paige was while in ED treatment. She's in residential and keeps sabotaging her progress. Mom is miserable, sometimes suicidal, and every time she gets Paige placed somewhere she has a miracle recovery until she gets discharged to do it all over. Mom has endometriosis and needs surgery but her whole life is devoted to making Paige stop killing herself. Paige takes advantage of mom being unable to physically stop her. The other two children have developmental/processing disorders and their own therapies take a backseat to Paige's constant screeching. Dad works and Paige tries to talk him into retrieving/discharging her occasionally.

At home, Paige won't even drink water. (Mom explains over many posts that Paige is considered a "super refuser" and that at her worst she won't even swallow her own saliva, and that she secretly exercises whenever people aren't watching her.) Paige doesn't give a shit about consequences and knows how to manipulate everyone around her. [LSUYE = life stops until you eat] At residential, she's tube fed but still keeping herself sick. Parents have seemingly resigned themselves to the fact that she's never going to get better.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113538Ver archivo adjunto 1113544Ver archivo adjunto 1113554
Paige gets sectioned when she starts self harming and giving herself infections
Ver archivo adjunto 1113558Ver archivo adjunto 1113559Ver archivo adjunto 1113560
On Insta paige occasionally writes about how her numerous injuries as a teen were signs she had EDS. Mom explains the same injuries as artifacts of overexercise and throwing herself around. No weight gain despite being tubed.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113571Ver archivo adjunto 1113580Ver archivo adjunto 1113590
Paige has been attending school outside of her residential on a very limited basis just to have a social life, but upon hitting 17 (which is apparently the age for medical consent in NZ) decides she's leaving residential, leaving school, and getting into a pastry chef course. Parents use the baking course as leverage - you eat or you don't go.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113577Ver archivo adjunto 1113588
After her parents get her to eat food, Paige matter-of-factly tells them she's now a binge-purge anorexic so their efforts meant nothing. Purging has never been discussed by her team before.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113595
Paige finds out she has a hereditary disposition towards heart issues; is furious when the doctors tell her that's not the reason she's sick. Paige decides to starve and dehydrate herself until she gives herself heart problems.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113599
Despite just admitting to purging, Paige now claims the vomiting is not her fault
Ver archivo adjunto 1113604
Back in hospital (for "gastroenteritis"), Paige is offended that she's on 24 hour watch and that includes following her to the bathroom, and that the doctors are ignoring her gastro complaints and treat her for her ED instead. Cries to mummy until the watch is lifted. Purges in the shower and gets caught anyway. Mom keeps her at the hospital even after realizing this is just more ED bullshit because at least she's not the one having to watch her.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113606Ver archivo adjunto 1113612
Has a gastroscopy. Nothing is wrong. Paige is claiming her anorexia magically fucked off and now she's got only physical issues. Mom is skeptical to say the least. Paige uses this to divide her parents, with her dad saying to stop engaging with the mom because he believes her. Mom entertains the idea that it's gastroparesis based on what other posters say. Paige latches onto this and ends all treatment except those that might net her a GP diagnosis. Mom pretends to believe her in order to get her back on NG feeds, hopefully NJ feeds she can't purge. Tactic works and Paige agrees to a tube to keep her "gastroparesis" story intact

Annndd within two weeks she's sabotaged it and ended up back in the hospital with critically low potassium. Still claiming she no longer has an ED. Claims she vomits up her tube but just replaces it and carries on. Mom is now demanding NJ feeds.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113654Ver archivo adjunto 1113655Ver archivo adjunto 1113656Ver archivo adjunto 1113659
Rediagnosed with a somatic disorder. Sure, jan. Doctors no longer believe her and tell her to just fucking eat.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113662Ver archivo adjunto 1113719
Someone tries to get mom to see that her daughter is still purging, mom has a mild chimpout
Ver archivo adjunto 1113721
Doctors will do no more testing, nurses don't want her in a wheelchair, mom does not understand. Paige is compliant with everything.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113724Ver archivo adjunto 1113743
Mom still doubts this is actually recovery and calls Paige's version of events alternate reality. But still seeking testing and trying to get her into an intestinal failure center (they reject her as they only handle cases on TPN)
Ver archivo adjunto 1113750Ver archivo adjunto 1113752
They get her into an observation on the children and family unit. Miraculously, with someone watching her 100% of the time, she gains. Mom is now half-convinced her gastro problems are real because she threw up her tube in front of nurses, etc. Dad hates having her at the hospital. Paige is in her element. Mom is happy to have a break from Paige. But Paige turns 18 and officially ages out of this service, too. Doctors declare her cured of her anorexia, and she gets a wig for her hair loss. Mom is 100% over Paige using her anorexia as an excuse to do nothing with her life.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113758Ver archivo adjunto 1113764Ver archivo adjunto 1113770Ver archivo adjunto 1113774
Paige has an X-ray that shows gastric emptying problems (?) but doctors attribute it to an infection she picked up at the hospital. Note: mom has been asking for a GES by name so I don't think that's what Paige had here.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113778
Paige tanks her potassium, mom now convinced it's bulimia. Sometimes. Paige pukes on the doctor and still gets discharged. Mom thinks that, in particular, is not voluntarily because she would never~ Mom wants Paige out of her house because Paige constantly demands more "stuff" and more attention and resents anything the other kids get.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113786Ver archivo adjunto 1113793Ver archivo adjunto 1113794Ver archivo adjunto 1113802Ver archivo adjunto 1113805
Another gastro - another bulimia DX
Ver archivo adjunto 1113819Ver archivo adjunto 1113820
Another gastro - this one gets his hackles up because they go in demanding an NJ and nothing less. Mom talks about scrubbing vomit off the walls of her house. Doctor ultimately says NJ tube won't make a difference.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113832Ver archivo adjunto 1113834
2016 ends on a happy-ish note when Paige "graduates" the high school she barely attended. Parents see all the other kids graduate and reflect on the might-have-beens and how Paige's nonsense affects their other children, but are also happy she seems to finally be moving forward with life and will be attending her pastry course.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113850
In January, Mom announces that Paige really did have the gastroparesis (but that she's staying on NG tube feeding and later a PEG tube if necessary. Paige is eating and drinking, attending her culinary program, and no longer exercising. Mom is now fully convinced all of Paige's problems are real and after-effects of her ED.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113867Ver archivo adjunto 1113868
The other shoe drops. Mom starts a new thread (first in over a year) to talk about how shit life is. Paige's stomach and intestines no longer work but the hospital will won't NJ tube her. Keep telling her shit will improve if Paige eats and doesn't purge. Paige plays on their emotions because she is soooo scaaared now.
Ver archivo adjunto 1113869
Ver archivo adjunto 1113870
Paige convinces mom she's really for real dying. Mom buys a wheelchair and writes paige's eulogy (!!!)
Ver archivo adjunto 1113891
Late 2017, Paige gets approved for the Sad Walrus Tube Combo. On realizing that the NJ tube will prevent her from purging everything, Paige admits it was all a lie for attention but mom, now convinced Paige is really sick, dismisses this.
Ver archivo adjunto 1114004Ver archivo adjunto 1114006
NJ tube in but NG removed, Paige starts "blacking out"
Ver archivo adjunto 1114009
Within a few weeks Paige dislodges her new NJ tube (incidentally while her friend who has an ED is staying over, what are the odds!)
Ver archivo adjunto 1114014
When it's replaced, mom says the doc pierced her septum and threaded it through both nostrils. I'm guessing they actually bridled her because I've never heard of them just straight up doing that but hell, maybe. Paige tries to ruin a family vacation.
Ver archivo adjunto 1114016
Mom's beloved dog dies on her birthday and her bother is sickened by his classmates. Paige gets annoyed at the fact that the attention is not on her and pukes up her NJ tube then comes in with it dangling out of her mouth. Paige's doctors give her permission to insert her own NGs from now on. Mom is aware Paige is still eating/drinking things that make her sick and refusing to change her diet but thinks it's just her being stubborn and 19. This is about where Paige's current IG starts.
Ver archivo adjunto 1114016Ver archivo adjunto 1114018Ver archivo adjunto 1114021
Paige's real "health problems" begin in Feb 2018 with cellulitis and seizures, now that she can't just keep starving herself for mummy's attention.
Ver archivo adjunto 1114024
Paige moves out with a friend - mom is happy-ish.
Ver archivo adjunto 1114026
April 2018, Paige is diagnosed with epilepsy. Comes home for a visit and family find she's abusing her medications including morphine. After much arguing, Paige moves home. There's much to do about the morphine dose which is reduced from 10 mL every 4 hours to 4 every 6 despite paige's screeching.

And in August, mom says that the mystery casts were, in fact, to keep paige from infecting her lines after she fucked with her PICC.
Ver archivo adjunto 1114058
Mom takes some of the blame for being complicit and "advocating" for Paige all the time
Ver archivo adjunto 1114059
Paige gets a case of the pukies whenever they try to raise her feed rate. Mom chimps out, hospital tries to section Paige, mom chimps out even more. Hospital tries legal proceedings under the apparent assumption that Mom is mbping Paige.
Ver archivo adjunto 1114061Ver archivo adjunto 1114063Ver archivo adjunto 1114064
Mom realizes Paige is sabotaging her own care for attention. Hospital gets her under 24/7 watch.
Ver archivo adjunto 1114070
Paige won't let anyone clean her, makes mom do the job. Mom realizes this total lack of hygiene is why Paige always has UTIs and various infections. Mom takes time off of being Paige's whipping boy to deal with her own health. Paige has a meltdown and cuts off all contact with them. Mom happy.
Ver archivo adjunto 1114075Ver archivo adjunto 1114076Ver archivo adjunto 1114077
Mom finally cuts Paige off entirely when Paige lies in court about her upbringing being abusive
Ver archivo adjunto 1114083
And here it is. Under 24/7 obs, Paige gains weight. With her ability to handle her own meds taken away, her potassium stops crashing. Mom realizes she has "anorexia with a healthy side of munchausen" and when Paige admit that this was all for attention back in 2017 she was, in fact, telling the truth for once. Father and middle daughter still believe Paige and it's ripping the family apart.
Ver archivo adjunto 1114084
Paige tries to sweet talk her way back into the family - family realizes it's because she's left stashes of opiates at their house and she has become a drug seeker. Dad still wants to be part of her life. Mom does not.
Ver archivo adjunto 1114095Ver archivo adjunto 1114096Ver archivo adjunto 1114097
Her last post, just a month ago. Paige came back into their lives and immediately fucked up. Mom realizes she's happy being sick, that being sick is what gives her life purpose, and she has munchausens. She decides to no longer post on an ED recovery website as her daughter's weight is restored and stable but it's made no difference, and so she cut her out of her life.
Ver archivo adjunto 1114107
So there it is from the horse's mouth. Paige has munchausen, her family and her doctors know it, the casts were to keep her from fucking with her lines, and they're leaving her to die because she doesn't want to live. Wow, what a ride.
