      I don't want money or attention, these people are the most disgusting. I'd give anything to be healthy, normal and to be able to work. I want to work, I want to stop suffering disease and treatments and feeling like a failure.
      I don't get money for being sick and I certainly don't get attention. If I could, I'd help others with Myasthenia Gravis fight!

These blogs like she had, proved to be a manual for scammers on how not to get caught. A sister blog to this one's had a seemingly young dude, supposedly had twin toddler sons he wanted custody of but they had health problems blah blah blah. It was a whole heroic sob story. I found the way the guy constantly replied to every post and investigation obsessive and a little creepy. Well low and behold about a year later it turns out he was a she and had lured an underage girl into a relationship that ended up being sexual(she was using a strap on in the dark) using the very story she had been telling everyone on the blog.

    As someone who is blind and shares my life on the internet... this is so frustrating. I've been accused of "faking it" despite SO much proof and it's because of people who DO fake their illnesses than genuine people like me are accused of it. I do what I do in attempts to educate society about disability, since mainstream media has failed us with the misconceptions they perpetuate in their storytelling of disability. It's frustrating to think about the fact that these people can be sick online, yet live a normal life on the daily. I don't get to walk away from blindness, I LIVE it every moment of every day. I face discrimination, I face real world struggles of inaccessibility and I NEVER get to walk away from it. It's frankly offensive to turn illness or disability into a money-maker. I make the best of my situation, but it's FAR from easy and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Most people who are only physically sick & not mentally do battle bravely & silently however there are millions of exceptions. If someone has is a rare illness there is often specialists & some medication that is only available by certain drs & cost a lot. If the person is going to die soon they may want to try pioneering treatment or raise money for the person to have some fun before they are too ill & are on their deathbed. If it is a chronic physical condition then a lot of medication is limited & there is off licence or expensive medication that can ease symptoms significantly & improve the quality of life for that person but it is difficult & expensive to get. If someone has been in an accident, suddenly develops a medical condition, or their condition deteriorates to the point that it reduces their mobility, then a lot of people need help raising funds to cover the cost of a wheelchair, a hoist, a wetroom, adaptations to the house etc.
      Before I became disabled I assumed that sick & disabled people got the help they needed but it was a harsh shock to learn how little support disabled people actually get.

    My dad died from brain cancer just three months after he was diagnosed. He didn't have life insurance ad his illness consumed him faster than we could come up with money for a proper burial. These kinds of people just boil my blood. Crowd funding can be a great resource for people but people like this make it harder on cancer victims and their families.

      Good luck to you.
      I'm a stage 4 cancer patient, I was too shy and somewhat embarrassed about setting a fund page but recently I had a major surgery on my femur bone due to the cancer, the healing process is long, I'm unable to work because radiation and harsh chemo will follow so I had no choice but to agree with my friend to set up the page.
      If your condition is true, don't be ashamed. You need help and you're not lying, so don't be so hard on yourself, focus on your health.

But lately I’ve been having some complications that are expensive but I’ve been putting off treatment because of the cost. :/ I may have to reconsider.

      I really hope your family can support you and give you the live you need right now, it's hard when your own flesh and blood are so distant when you're in need. On the positive side it only makes you stronger, because you learn to encounter and fight on your own.
      Always fight, be strong and don't give up so easily. Remember you're not alone. It's a bitter sweet feeling but it's true, you're not alone!

      I was hospitalized for a csf leak after a spinal tap. I have a lot of genetic health problems, one is a bleeding disorder. Delta granule storage pool deficiency. Which is treated with a platelet transfusion.
      But the doctor thought I was faking it. Told me I "should be healed" by now. And yes most people would be healed. But I had a complication due to my bleeding disorder...
      But people who fake it should be punished. But we have to rely on evidence. Being ignored for 2 weeks in the hospital because they just assumed I had function disorder. And that my mom was munchousins. Which was far from the truth.
      Due to the csf leak I couldn't even sit up. The pain was horrible. But just trying to sit up would trigger vomiting. The leak caused the pressure in my brain to mess up. Even now I have horrible nerve pain from damage that was likely done while I was being played with by the hospital staff.
      I remember when they told me it was all psychological... it crushed me. Thankfully my mother knew one of the main figures at the hospital and asked sternly yet nicely for new docs for me.
      All it took was an MRI and a blood test. the leak was clearly visible and the bleeding disorder was slightly rare so the hematologist walked all his students in.
      So 3 weeks. It was hell. I still have nightmares about it.
      Yes there are fakers. But it has to be proven completely. my negligent docs. One who told me I was dehydrated due to the salt water in my IV drip... they have caused horrible damage to my life.
      My leg pain from this ordeal never stops. It is just hell. And they didnt even apologize! Gah. I get mad just thinking of it.
      The hematologist and elderly pain doctor were amazing. They were smart and tried to help.
      While my 2 alternating attending doctors thought they were gods gift to the earth. And looked down on us. I know from experience that doctors have above average egos.
      But these newer younger doctors.. I really worry about the future. They never tried to look at the big picture and ignored my family history of bleeding. They saw a large list of meds on my list and assumed we were faking. I have shitty genetics. But being treated like that is just scarring

    Why in heavens name do someone WANT to be ill, i've delt with illness day in and day out since i've been 13 i'd do anything not to deal with it. I really can't wrap my head around some folk and how they take pleasure in having an illness, nine times out of ten when i speak to people i'll brush off my disease just to talk about something else, something going on in the persons life. But I will say i've been in support groups over the years and you can spot someone who is there for the attention compared to someone who need support or looking for treatment plans/help etc.. It is scary that someone think being sick is "fun" or "glamorous" sick it really is sick.

I feel guilty for not being able to take care of my family, I miss having a job and hobbies and will never be able to do all the things I planned for the future because of pain and exhaustion from dealing with chronic pain every day.

    Let me just say this.......my mother had breast cancer back in the 60s. She had a radical mastectomy, and then got on with her life. My Grandmother had breast cancer when she was in her 80s, had a radical mastectomy, and that went into bone cancer. She immediately, after they started chemo and radiation....began to look ill. She wore a leg brace, had cancer popping up on her skull.....in her arms, was in the hospital for Phlebitis several times, and they eventually had to amputate her leg. She ended up in a nursing home due to the fact that they had her on the strongest chemo they had. She couldn't eat, she couldn't drink, she looked like a walking skeleton. She died on the fourth of July. Not a single time did she ever ask anyone for any money. She funded her own treatment with insurance she bought and paid for every month by turning in U.S. savings bonds that she had been buying since WWII. She had medicare, of course, but it never paid for everything. I see frauds like this and it just makes me flaming mad. These people need to be found by the cops and the district attorneys ought to throw the book a them. Jail time is needed.

I had the get a handicap permit. Im 29 years old and have had to lay down in the middle of a busy store because of back spasms so bad I cried. But adults will follow me on store yelling at me for missuing or faking my need for a permit one. Woman followed me in to a restroom a screamed at me. But I'm the one kick out of the store. Just don't take it to far. Probably 60% or the month I look happy and healthy and I rarely post pictures of me on my bad days because I want to be reminded of the good days not the shitty ones. Just remember that just because doesn't look sick or hurt doesn't mean they aren't fighting awful side effects. And a person using handicap plates only had to explain to a cop not you what there medical issues are and blocking them in to a parking space until a cop arrives is unlawful detainment or kidnapping depending on how far an officer wants to take it.

She stopped paying her share of the rent and utilities and borrowed money from all her friends. Finally my daughter had to contact the girl's parents and they paid off all the debts and brought her back home to rehab. Thankfully she didn't think to put up a GoFundMe page. The funny part of this came a few years later. I was going through chemo for cancer and my daughter asked why my hair had fallen out, since her friend's hair hadn't. She had so bought into her friend's story, she forgot that she had not really had cancer.
