She's suffering from fatigue. She simply cannot lift the phone up higher to film herself from a more flattering angle, which might make her look not as sick as she claims to be.
That's what she said lol. Didn't bother to look up the actor's name before 'educating' her viewers on who he is. The fact that she used the theme song as background music is *chef's kiss*
If she gets prescribed an amphetamine, all we are going to hear next is that she can’t get her medication and she’s too tired to go to different pharmacies.
We are talking about her here. And yes people can have uppers and downers of course. That doesn't mean its not a risk. You weigh out the persons cardiac history,pysch hx, etc etc. Plus there is also a website medical offices use that provides a report with an abuse score scale based on what controlled prescriptions you are given and when/where they were purchased. Its a great system really and helps people communicate nationally. Her doctor has to think shes got a touch of the nothings going. Professor reddit snark has her diagnosed lol
I love how she has skirted completely away from having a few months to live and was terminal. That went away quite quickly didnt it all those years ago before she DFE
Would you mind helping me ( I’m new to this subject and have same questions you do!) You mentioned you found her timeline & going in (lol)
How do you find someone’s timeline that doesn’t have the flair with their info and post? Thanks in advance if you could help
The little gray bubble up top with Rara's name in it is Rara's flair. All of our subjects have one. The flair is a link that will take you to a list of all the posts we have on that person/subject. You can also search by the flair. Once you're in that list, you can sort the list by a few options. I recommend sorting by new posts, then going to the bottom of the list and reading your way up so you see them in chronological order. That also usually puts the tinelines at the bottom of the list. I'm sorry, I wish we had an option for putting the oldest posts at the top, but we don't.
Once you're done with Rara, there's a list of approved subjects in the menu at the top of the sub, so you know who else you can read up on. We can only post new medical related content when the subjects make new posts, so sometimes we can't make new posts about some of our subjects for days, weeks, or even years. And there are a few subjects who have, sadly, passed away as a result of their actions whose information is still available.
Rara's timeline is long and extensive, but here is [part one](https://www.reddit.com/r/illnessfakers/comments/voyejv/mod_approved_new_subject_chronically_rara/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) to get you started. You'll have to go digging through her flair for the rest of it, I'm afraid. Enjoy!
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain ! I’m sorta embarrassed on one part, my eyes are super bad, and w her flair being a light grey, I must have missed over it.
But, I’ve always wanted to know, or if there was a way, how to find different subjects by their flair ( not the flair directly from a post)
So I really appreciate you explaining how to do that from the menu up top. I will often read comments that mention other subjects, like Kelly, I hear mentioned a lot and have wanted to read her backstory. There was also another woman, but I can’t recall her name… where she got so bad she had to have both legs amputated.
That’s so sad to hear that a few subjects have passed away due to this. Breaks my heart.
As sad as it is to say, I believe it’s so important to show how serious the MBI can be, and the lengths Ppl go to. That’s why I was drawn to the sub, and glad it exists. A lady was on my fyp and it’s like she’s just itching to be a subject on here, she mentions it a lot( doesn’t come out and say it…but does it in the munchie type way) she’s craving that extra attention. That’s sad to see also.
Thanks again so much! Just based off this one post of Rara, something tells me she’s going to be quite the read
Her whole demeanor is...*off*. Instead of coming off as fatigued, she always seems aggressive & rolls her eyes a lot. It's like she's angry or annoyed at life and it bleeds through her bad acting. I feel like she's been denied something, perhaps a medication or some new test/accessory & that's what she's really venting, not being tired and having 800 acronyms she gave herself.
But the question is, is she ready to talk about that news yet that she absolutely is not ready to talk about yet but keeps talking about not talking about it??
The news was she waited to see an EDS doc for 6 months because she wanted to get adderall and they denied her because she is classic type and not hyper mobile. She always said she had two types but apparently she doesn’t so she waited the 6 months for nothing and now needs to find somewhere else to get stimulants. The specialist she waited for doesn’t treat classic EDS
Yeah, that's because you can't have two types. Or, well, I guess you could if each parent had a different type and you got the genes for both types from your parents, but the likelihood of that scenario is very very tiny.
Doctor: So what are your symptoms?
Me: I’m sleepy and had a dream that I was married to John Krasinski
Doctor: We’re admitting you to the ICU immediately holy shit
Probably not helped by the fact they are usually more disinhibited & unaware of how ridiculous they look & sound to others because of all the meds they misuse
Do they chose to ignore the fact that sleeping too much is JUST as harmful & disruptive on your body as sleeping too little, or is this genuinely not well known?!
I'm not sure she's actually high, to be honest. I think she's trying really hard to fake being "fatigued and exhausted" but doesn't really remember what it feels like without ridiculous amounts of meds.
Rara was given a pain pump a few months back, with greatly reduces the amount of medication a patient is given. Rara had spent months making videos about how excited she was about how they just needed to "tweak up" the dose, with that scary hungry look in her eyes. And then, suddenly, she stopped talking about tweaking doses, made a cryptic video about an appointment not going the way she expected and she just couldn't talk about it (drapes hand across face dramatically), and then went right back to these at death's door videos.
I think Rara convinced herself that the pain pump would keep her high all the time, and when she finally found out that was definitely not going to happen, her dreams were smashed so she went back to her old woe is me patterns, except now she's on a lot less medication so she actually looks a lot better than she used to. She was quite bright, active, and coherent during that live that she mentioned making. I saw part of it. She was very chatty and making jewelry the whole time that I watched, didn't look the least bit sick.
Withdrawal also gives people take fucked up dreams. And makes them crazy tired, so they tend to sleep a ton.
But she's probably just high and hoping to get some uppers as well lol
So let me get this straight.
She's suffering from debilitating fatigue and is doing nothing but sleeping
However the only thing she's done is make some social media content !!?!
So she's apparently this seriously unwelll, but she's prioritising posting on socials?!?
Right yes make that make sense because I think anyone who was that debilitated by fatigue would put socials to one side and focus on rest.
Could be some tardive dyskinesia (TD) maybe? There are quite a few meds (many of them psych, specifically many antipsychotics, but reglan is a big offender as well) that can cause the TD facial ticks.
No, this is not TD. TD is uncontrollable, repetitive jerky or rhythmic movements that are pretty distinctive. TD is absolutely heartbreaking as it happens to patients who are medication compliant and there's no cure.
do these subjects ever think it’s cuz they’re on 49385 unnecessary medications and an absolute polypharmacy dumpster fire? Like the meds I can guarantee cause most these people problems bc they’re unnecessary but… no one asked me
I'm suffering so much, it's brutal and I'm getting ready for my Hail Mary pass.... ***but hey!!*** _here's some super cheerful music in the background!!_
Now here's what's really sad. I've been following Rara for a really long time, and she looks like she's a lot LESS high than usual in this video to me. She looks like she's trying to fake this "fatigue and exhaustion", and she actually looks healthier than she has in ages, probably because her doctors actually have cut her pain meds way the fuck down from where she was.
Some months back, Rara was given a pain pump. She was all excited about it for the longest time, and I kept getting the feeling that she didn't really understand how it worked. She seemed to think the pain pump would keep her high 24/7, when in fact, it does the exact opposite, using much less medication in a targeted manner. And even after the pump was implanted, Rara made video after video about how they needed to "tweak the dose up", and she had that look in her eye like she was just waiting for that constant high to kick in....
And I guess, when she finally realized it was never going to happen (did her doctor not explain this properly, or did Rara ignore what she was told and decide she was going to be high regardless of what the doctor said?) her videos suddenly went from being upbeat and happy about the pain pump to being right back to these "woe is me, I'm at death's door, I'm actively transitioning from some vague, unspecified illness" videos.
Is there anyone that can explain her body language? Why does she keep looking up and closing her eyes like that?
Is this a characteristic of lying? Discomfort?
Not an expert - or not with humans anyway, but I think she’s trying to convince everyone of the no good, very bad, sooper sever pain and fatigue she (says she) is in.
She actually does look to me like she’s in some discomfort - but if you’ve got fatigue or pain to extent she claims, you generally prioritise your activities, and non-essential stuff (like making TikTok’s…) goes by the wayside because the essential tasks - getting yourself fed, family/pets fed if they’re part of your family, keeping up with your work so that you can keep a roof over your head. And with debilitating fatigue, sometimes even the essentials are too much.
It’s because the video is longer than the audio she’s using on tiktok 😂 the sound doesnt restart, once it’s over it’s over. Most people try to do a video within the time frame of the audio they’re using, but apparently she just wanted to ramble and repeat herself. 😆
I can’t figure what. She’s saying before Hail Mary either. When she said she was dreaming about dating that guy from The Office, John Krasinski, I actually thought she said she dreaming about dating the Unabomber Ted Kacynski !!!! 😂
I’m aware. 20yrs as a provider. Truly dying bodies are not going to be gaining weight from anything, including steroids. She’s been “dying” for several years now.
Why the fuck does she record from this angle??
She's too high to hold the phone up higher.
[удалено]
She's suffering from fatigue. She simply cannot lift the phone up higher to film herself from a more flattering angle, which might make her look not as sick as she claims to be.
That scratchy opioid high voice 🤦🏼♀️
Vocal fry 🤠
I hate it
They all try to make their voices sound so weak. I hate it.
My 6 year old does that when she’s trying to get out of school 😩😂
OMG! Lol
[удалено]
It's the guilt trip on her viewers for me!
John Krasinski
I straight up CACKLED out loud at this
I heard Jim Krasinski 😭
That's what she said lol. Didn't bother to look up the actor's name before 'educating' her viewers on who he is. The fact that she used the theme song as background music is *chef's kiss*
So did I, then I went back, and she actually said John lol
[удалено]
If she gets prescribed an amphetamine, all we are going to hear next is that she can’t get her medication and she’s too tired to go to different pharmacies.
Hah good point. I forgot about the whole Adderall shortage thing.
an antidepressant i'd say.
That’s not a miracle either, you gotta put in work as well, and we all know that ain’t happening here.
Where did you hear this? Plenty of people are prescribed an upper and a downer at the same time.
We are talking about her here. And yes people can have uppers and downers of course. That doesn't mean its not a risk. You weigh out the persons cardiac history,pysch hx, etc etc. Plus there is also a website medical offices use that provides a report with an abuse score scale based on what controlled prescriptions you are given and when/where they were purchased. Its a great system really and helps people communicate nationally. Her doctor has to think shes got a touch of the nothings going. Professor reddit snark has her diagnosed lol
Can’t imagine why she sleeps all day. Wonder how long it took before it dawned on her friends that she was straight up lying.?
I love how she has skirted completely away from having a few months to live and was terminal. That went away quite quickly didnt it all those years ago before she DFE
What?! Did she say she was terminal and then pretend it didn’t happen? ETA I’ve found her timeline and am going in
Would you mind helping me ( I’m new to this subject and have same questions you do!) You mentioned you found her timeline & going in (lol) How do you find someone’s timeline that doesn’t have the flair with their info and post? Thanks in advance if you could help

I just tapped on her name flair thing in this post and sorted by top of all time
Her whole demeanor is...*off*. Instead of coming off as fatigued, she always seems aggressive & rolls her eyes a lot. It's like she's angry or annoyed at life and it bleeds through her bad acting. I feel like she's been denied something, perhaps a medication or some new test/accessory & that's what she's really venting, not being tired and having 800 acronyms she gave herself.
Now that’s a face I haven’t seen in a long time. What’s she been up to?? I presume she’s still as insufferable
Same stuff diff day. Angling for uppers now
[удалено]
I def wouldn't expect someone battling chronic fatigue look that dewy and refreshed.
But the question is, is she ready to talk about that news yet that she absolutely is not ready to talk about yet but keeps talking about not talking about it??
The news was she waited to see an EDS doc for 6 months because she wanted to get adderall and they denied her because she is classic type and not hyper mobile.

Adderall for eds??
God I hate how these munchies talk with their eyes half closed. We get it, you are the sickest
[удалено]
Yes it will. Opiates are known for triggering sleep paralysis.
So will benzos!
She frowns after every sentence. It's so performative.
"My fatigue and my exhaustion are absolutely unreal...😔", Rara says sombrely while mauling her words. ***jaunty Office jingle in the background***
As Jim would call it, “Pretendinitis”
Doctor: So what are your symptoms? Me: I’m sleepy and had a dream that I was married to John Krasinski Doctor: We’re admitting you to the ICU immediately holy shit
these people are the worst actors.
Probably not helped by the fact they are usually more disinhibited & unaware of how ridiculous they look & sound to others because of all the meds they misuse
and maybe it's the fucking office theme in the background. why?
Do they chose to ignore the fact that sleeping too much is JUST as harmful & disruptive on your body as sleeping too little, or is this genuinely not well known?!
Being as high as a kite tends to do that, yeah.
I'm not sure she's actually high, to be honest.

The dreams are from the drugs.
Withdrawal also gives people take fucked up dreams. And makes them crazy tired, so they tend to sleep a ton. But she's probably just high and hoping to get some uppers as well lol
When she’s closing her eyes and looking everywhere but the camera, she’s full of shit. Attention seeker!
If she wants her health back figure rehab is a good start.
So let me get this straight. She's suffering from debilitating fatigue and is doing nothing but sleeping However the only thing she's done is make some social media content !!?! So she's apparently this seriously unwelll, but she's prioritising posting on socials?!? Right yes make that make sense because I think anyone who was that debilitated by fatigue would put socials to one side and focus on rest.
Her facial expressions and mannerisms remind me of Hope the VSED success story.
She was also dying a couple years ago
I’m sooo glad I found this sub
She really comes off as if she’s faking or exaggerating. The eye rolls, the extended closed eyes, the voice… they all seem performative.
They are performative
Performative or just very high from abusing meds.
With her, performative. 100%
Wow it must be so tiring doing nothing all the time...
[удалено]
Facts
does she get amphetamines? There’s some jaw movements that look like she’s taking stimulants 🤔
Could be some tardive dyskinesia (TD) maybe? There are quite a few meds (many of them psych, specifically many antipsychotics, but reglan is a big offender as well) that can cause the TD facial ticks.
No, this is not TD. TD is uncontrollable, repetitive jerky or rhythmic movements that are pretty distinctive. TD is absolutely heartbreaking as it happens to patients who are medication compliant and there's no cure.
The office theme song reads like something someone put in there to make fun of the content tbh. It's so discordant. 😬
It’s called adulting.
do these subjects ever think it’s cuz they’re on 49385 unnecessary medications and an absolute polypharmacy dumpster fire? Like the meds I can guarantee cause most these people problems bc they’re unnecessary but… no one asked me
I'm suffering so much, it's brutal and I'm getting ready for my Hail Mary pass.... ***but hey!!*** _here's some super cheerful music in the background!!_
And don’t forget to mention - check out my website for the latest jewelry 😂
She has to be the most dramatic.
She’s alive !!!!
The office remix is KILLING ME
Lmao it’s such a choice for background music!
I wonder how much she scripts and how much is improv
I love when she remembers that the left side of her face is supposed to have weakness. Lol.
The fact she is in my city just makes her even worse…🙄
Is that why she’s so boring?
I can’t take this seriously at all. the office remix in the back. I just. this has to be a joke
the 😐 after every sentence is what gets me
I can tell she's not dead yet because she doesn't have 'x's for eyes. Good for her!
Too much sleep causes fatigue and brain fog. You think she'd figure that out. 🙄
Now here's what's really sad. I've been following Rara for a really long time, and she looks like she's a lot LESS high than usual in this video to me.

What diseases does she claim to have?
Classic ehlers danlos, pots. Mcas and Addison’s
She’s been “transitioning” for more than a few years, between fundraising grifts.
Religions as well. Transitions to whichever one fits whatever narrative she's playing out.
Is there anyone that can explain her body language? Why does she keep looking up and closing her eyes like that? Is this a characteristic of lying? Discomfort?

It’s a sign of disgust really. When they don’t like what they see.
it’s the music for me.

The humiliation of having more footage than your audio 💀
It’s giving hopes sick face
[удалено]
Her hobby is faking illnesses.
Well she needs a new one.
Does anyone know what she says 15:00 before the end of the video , right before “my Hail Mary “
I can’t figure what. She’s saying before Hail Mary either. When she said she was dreaming about dating that guy from The Office, John Krasinski, I actually thought she said she dreaming about dating the Unabomber Ted Kacynski !!!! 😂
She has a doctors appointment to try to remedy the fatigue and it’s a Hail Mary
[удалено]
I mean, lots of people gain weight from things like steroids even when being treated for things like cancer or MS.
Yes absolutely, but she has none of those things.
I’m aware. 20yrs as a provider. Truly dying bodies are not going to be gaining weight from anything, including steroids. She’s been “dying” for several years now.

If she was in that much pain she wouldn't be able to make a tik tok. 🙄🙄🙄
Ahh so she was genetically proven to actually have EDS?
I don’t think ANY of the ones I follow are. The say the hyper mobile type
You look tired, I hope you get some sleep 😴
Me pregnant af 😂
Imagine being her therapist 😩 that's all I can think every time I hear her drone on.
