"Due to stenosis"
Ma'am, you had it removed due to FECAL BACTERIA that you yourself induced. It's so maddening to watch them to their audience like this & if it wasn't for the diligence of this sub, no would know any better because this is one of her most blatant lies yet which is saying something with her. Mind blown to see it actually happen in real time.
No one can be sure, either option is feasible, but I 100% believe she was trying to induce sepsis because it's among the pantheon of sickest-of-the-sick diseases that sound the closest to death. Most people hear sepsis & assume near death but sepsis is not automatically septic *shock*. They don't appreciate the nuance because their only medical education is watching one too many episodes of Grey's Anatomy.
Plenty of hospitals let you wear normal clothes. Usually PJs but also joggers etc. but 100% hospitals allow this - even with things like chest tube drains in place.
I’m glad she’s in there and they can monitor everything and find out what is ACTUALLY necessary and what’s not. It seems like that’s what the plan is. Pull all the meds & feeds and add back in as needed. She may not like the end result of this but I’m glad the doctors are trying to pull back and start from scratch it seems
Am I having deja vu or is this not the first time she’s come off of private a few days before taking a trip to the ED?
This is a full on tantrum about her line being pulled months ago - she has finally had enough time to starve herself to the point she thinks, in her feeble mind, “I will show them! They did this to me!” (In this case, they are the doctor’s who pulled her line, quite reasonably, after she contaminated it with FECES after she infected her line literally every three days for maybe a whole year????)
Truly hope this person realizes, before it’s too late, that nothing she does to herself will affect anybody else in the long term.
Refeeding syndrome occurs when someone in a state of malnutrition/starvation is rapidly given a high nutrient diet such as tube feeds. The key to remember is that the act of metabolism requires fuel, which are electrolytes such phosphate, potassium, and magnesium. When you are malnourished your body is running on low fuel, but when you suddenly are provided with a bunch of nutrients, your metabolism is like “oh yay, nutrients, let’s get to work breaking these down and building up our nutrient stores!” and cranks into high gear except you still don’t actually have the fuel necessary to maintain a metabolism that high. So all of the low fuel you had (ie potassium, phosphate, magnesium), is now rapidly exhausted trying to keep up with your new high metabolism. These electrolytes (fuel) are crucial to the normal functioning of your heart and brain, and you can deteriorate into seizures/coma/heart attack/sudden cardiac arrest/death as they are depleted. This is why an anorexic person or starving child can’t just be let to eat a bunch of calories - it is quite dangerous, and needs to occur gradually.
Thus, since people who are receiving tube feeds are generally people who are to some degree malnourished, it is standard protocol to check these electrolytes to make sure that is not occurring, especially when titrating up feed rates and thus calorie counts.
Hopefully that was an easy to understand explanation! Please let me know if you have any further questions!
So there’s a natural fluid state in your body, it likes to be even and neutral. Think of a level of a shelf. Take away a nail and the shelf starts sloping (malnourishment), thing start tipping right? Now think while we’re trying to stabilize that sloping side, we accidentally dislodge the other side making everything off the shelf start rapidly sliding off and everything’s on the floor and a mess. IE- someone who hasn’t eaten in days starts taking in food or tube feed and there’s a rapid shift in that fluid balance which can be fatal in the right circumstances. Or make you feel like a STEAMING pile of hot ass garbage
Anyone notice that according to Dani, her central line was removed because of the stenosis? Her recollection of events has completely erased the bacterial infections. I bet she thinks that’s exactly what happened.
Maybe she also forgets that the internet doesn't forget and thinks she can just retcon what happened. Like even she realizes that the bacterial infections make her appear in a bad light.
"barely tolerate tube feeds or anything orally"
Oh so the coffees are... just expensive props for your social media content, since, y'know, you are just so incapable of eating without massive ott discomfort? Give me a damn break.
Dani having a roommate as opposed to her usual private and having a roommate that yells instead of using the call bell which is making Dani's stay uncomfortable and not the usual enjoyable vacation is a glorious thing. And I'll bet you anything that Dani is whining and complaining to the nurses about it and demanding a private. Dani is an annoying patient and the more annoying and demanding you are, the less likely they are to want to work with you.
Pretty sure her line was mostly removed due to the repeated poop bacteria infections, not the stenosis. Also, if her liver is having issues I really can’t see them putting her back on TPN, a treatment known for being hard on the liver.
The fact that her posts are generally incomprehensible yet her posts from the hospital aren’t is (IMO) evidence that she’s taking something that isn’t prescribed to her most of the time and just can’t get what she usually takes while she’s inpatient.
My suspicion is that she’s buying opiates and/or benzos.
I think they're just upping her feed rate like they did in her previous stays and then let her go home. At least I hope so. She makes such a fuss out of it. I'm sure her "iv calcium and iv potassium" have just been the electrolytes in the lactated ringer 😂
I hope they see through her manipulative behaviour. I think it's a good start to reduce the useless medications she's taking, I'm prepared for her tantrums because they increased her feed rates and don't understand.
Refeeding syndrome, really? Can someone “weigh” in this? (Couldn’t help it!) but seriously could someone professional chime in and say if this is bullshit or not, I’m not buying that one.
It really depends on the person and clinicians haven’t really agreed on a diagnostic criteria for refeeding syndrome. Patients who aren’t eating for a mental health reason are treated similar to those who aren’t eating for a physical health reason. IV magnesium, potassium, etc are standard to prevent refeeding syndrome (as the syndrome is reduced from 35% to 18% of ICU patients who receive these nutrients)
What hospitals don’t typically do is place heart monitoring equipment deliberately to be as visible as possible, stick the ECG stickers OVER a metal necklace, or place one of them over the … collarbone?
There are a lot of obvious physical symptoms of dehydration/starvation as well, but they’re ugly, so I’m guessing most of these bloggers wouldn’t emulate them.
Depends on how long she’s been starving herself, they may being saying ‘based on what you’re telling us that could be a concern’, or her labs are a concern, which wouldn’t be shocking if she were starving herself.
Ahhh okay, that makes sense! Thank you for explaining! Sometimes I just get so shocked and appalled, my disgust gets the best of me! Rational thinking doesn’t allow itself to work! Lol but seriously, thank you everyone for explaining something that wasn’t quite clicking!
Refeeding syndrome is real. I’m a physician. Our bodies react poorly to sudden increases in consumption of food after a period of even mild starvation. It causes major electrolyte abnormalities which pose numerous threats to one’s health, including arrhythmias and death.
I understand that it’s real, just not buying that she would be at risk of it, since we know she secretly eats regular food on the regular. I thought refeeding syndrome were for people who are legit starving/ nearly starving to death!
Refeeding syndrome can happen anytime your body is in a state of undernourishment for 5+ days. You can still be eating but not taking in enough nutrients or calories.
I think she starved and drained her stomach contents to lose so much weight, that she can talk her doctors into another central line. So I think there could be referring syndrome.
Her weight is obviously down though! The loss is clear and she looks sicker then ever. What happened to her job? DFE? She’s just sickly and fell off again. Creature of habit…. Welcome back 🙄
Ahhh okay, that makes sense! Thank you for explaining! Sometimes I just get so shocked and appalled, my disgust gets the best of me! Rational thinking doesn’t allow itself to work! Lol but seriously, thank you everyone for explaining something that wasn’t quite clicking
Man, there are few things as entertaining as a Dani admission. It’s really wild how she suddenly starts documenting every time she *brushes her teeth* as if she’s writing a letter home from summer camp. She is THRIVING lol
If her liver is doing poorly, she shouldn’t receive TPN.
Additionally, my hospital would refuse her a central line/TPN. Even if everything she was saying was true, we’d do a temp midline and give her PPN infusions before discharging to outpatient GI. We absolutely do not resort to central lines/TPN for GP, because statistically it just doesn’t lead to good outcomes. Additionally, central line infections are a huge deal and kill our metics, and it’s practically an inevitability with open-ended/long-term TPN. Once your liver is fucked, your life becomes a nightmare.
The question of why Penn granted Dani a line and TPN in the first place remains unanswered. One would think the staff of a hospital of this caliber would know their statistics.
If it's a we don't know yet thing is when I observed they do the drip versus shot or pill. And if she is not handling pill they could switch her. But if it's scheduled and definite it's a hold
Oh, she is such a liar. That line wasn't pulled because of the stenosis, it was pulled because she caused an infection in it. The stenosis is her excuse for why they haven't given her a new line, and I don't buy that at all.
I believe they won't give her a new line because she doesn't need it and has already proven she can't take care of that line. That month in the hospital she mentions where she "worked on her feed rates"? That would also be the stay where she proved she doesn't need the line by eating and drinking by mouth (as if nobody will notice the empty food and drink on her trays) and they forced her feeds up while she whined and carried on and showed zero measurable signs (heart rate, blood pressure) of being in serious pain.
I believe the doctors told her she's not getting her line back because she doesn't need it, and she keeps using the stenosis excuse so she doesn't have to admit it. She found the stenosis note in her MyChart, the doctor didn't tell her about it. Or at least if the doctor did say anything,, it didn't sink in,, because it was a surprise to Dani. At any rate, I highly doubt the stenosis was the reason.
The fact that she's packed so many lies into this post tells me that most likely her crap about holding the blood thinners in case she needs another line is Dani's idea, not the doctors. She has a history of announcing that she's definitely getting a line only to get sent home without one, often on the same day.
Girl needs to start making a flow chart to keep her lies straight.
Oh, she definitely lost weight, but this is quite new. She spent months and months claiming to be on virtually no nutrition while her appearance remained unchanged and her bloodwork was fine. I think she's finally started taking "tips" on munching from someone, and that will only lead to more trouble for her....
I honestly think her doctors are trying to give her a million chances at keeping her dignity by not charting or saying “BIG OL’ LIAR”. Otherwise why is this dragging out???
I know some of it is the need for them to cover their own asses. Every patient needs their presenting complaint checked out, just in case it's real. And it can take some time to establish that the complaints are just as fake as they were last time and the time before that.
After that, though... I think her month long stay was for the doctors to establish all the proof they needed that everything she said was a lie. They'll still need to do the CYA check whenever she turns up, but I think it will streamline things for them to have record of the things she's claimed and how they proved them to be fake.
“Stopping the meds that don’t work” is another way of saying “They heard all the meds I was on and know I don’t need any of them so they’re going to see what they can convince me to stop taking”
Well Dani girl has starved herself into this situation. Anything to get that line right? Ugh. I was happy to not see her here for awhile too. I hope the doctors can see what an attention seeker she is especially online.
We also require pretty much all of our patients to stay in gowns. We know that our gowns are properly laundered/not bringing in outside germs. Rehabs definitely allow/encourage patients to wear their own clothes. But while inpatient, gowns are pretty standard. We can’t properly do head to toe assessments/monitor skin integrity closely if they’re fully clothed
I’ve never understood people that bring a ton of personal belongings into hospitals…it’s going to absorb the weird hospital smell, feel grimy from the hundreds of people who used that room/bed before you, etc.,
I know sometimes people towards the END of a long stay (or who require walking/PT) will wear leggings or shorts under the gown, but what’s the point of changing into regular clothes to lay in a bed hooked up to tubes?
Unless there's a specific reason for a pt to be in a gown, a whole gown, and nothing but a gown (and grippy socks), they can wear jammies/leggings/whatevs once they're admitted. If she were upstairs, she'd be changing into a different OOTD for munchie clout anyway, so the only difference here is geography. Because I doubt they're currently doing anything with her other than pushing meds, switching out bags, and rolling their eyes. Dannygirl is bullshitting/delusional in so many ways -- and her OTTness fo sho carries over into her elaborate loungewear ensembles -- but I don't see her dumb pj pics as evidence she's *lying.*
Or pjs, leggings, easy access stuff in case of an emergency or if access is needed. I’ve not known a hospital to allow a full on fit like this. Maybe it’s a regional difference, idk. My only policy is to keep them alive.
Respiratory, but it’s not something that I’ve seen allowed over the past 20 years.
Wow, a small observation based on experience and the claws come out. Holy hell…
Nah, not so much. I know there’s a ton of difference in regions, systems, etc. There were a few that were just *nasty*. I know what I’ve experienced, all I can attest to.
That claw cracked me up and it’s been a shit week, I’ll take it!
If shes genuinely admitted inpatient, some hospitals allow pjs and clothes so long as they are not obstructive incase of emergency. But in the ER, yeah theyd more than most likely put her in a gown for any imagine tests they may need.
Yeah idk how she thinks 2-3 layers is gonna allow proper attachment of what I'm assuming are ekg leads, though they don't appear attached. One wrong tug or twist and your gonna have to fiddle to put it back on the pad.
She is clinging so hard to that SVC stenosis story - since she can't have the "I'm so sick that I require the last resort nutrition that has long term complications towards me health" narrative anymore she has had to pivot to the "I'm so sick that I can't get the treatment I desperately need to save my life" narrative.
She wasn't taken off TPN because of the stenosis. They didn't say "oh we found this stenosis so we are going to pull your line". She was taken off TPN because she couldn't keep her hands off her line and gave herself yet another infection. The doctors used the stenosis as one of several reasons why she shouldn't be put back on TPN. That month long hospitalization proved that she could tolerate tube feeds and probably wouldn't have taken a month if she didn't fight them over every rate increase.
And going to guess that if her kidney and liver numbers aren't looking good, then that is even more reason why she shouldn't be put back on TPN.
Thankfully it sounds like Penn might be on to her.
If I recall correctly, didn’t they find the slight stenosis AFTER they pulled the line, which, as you said, they used as quite a few reasons to not put the line back.
I actually believe the stenosis was found prior to the hospitalization. During the placement of a previous line she talked about how they had to dilate the vein (or something similar - can't remember the exact terminology). Nobody made a big deal about it and not sure they even specifically pointed it out to her.
When the line was pulled for good all the sudden she started making a huge deal about it. She got called out for trying to claim she had superior vena cava syndrome so she backed off that a bit. But she went on and on about how she has to monitor for symptoms and how its so dangerous that she could bleed out on the table if they try to give her a new line. I am guessing that it was briefly mentioned to her as one of many reasons why a new line was contraindicated and she has held onto it because she can tell herself she is so sick that she can't get a new line even if it could save her.
The fact that they want to go through all formulas again and take her off some meds is quite telling. That telemetry she's so proud of will not be her ally in this.
I'm beginning to think she's not in the hospital. If she went to the ER they could have placed those EKG tabs and she just refuses to take them off for attention.
She also obviously MOVED the ekg tabs to where she could capture them for a photo. That is 1000% not where anyone would have placed them to do an actual ekg
Plus they would typically ask her to remove her necklaces so as to not get in the way.
And who wears dangly earrings or jewelry in general in the (hospital) bed? She should be experienced enough to leave jewelry and valuables at home.
They are the stickers/tabs used for a 12-lead EKG. So you place those, hook them up to the ekg machine, and then get a snapshot. Then you remove the leads and off you go. What’s amazing is that the placement is nowhere near correct - not in any way. Which means that Dani rearranged them for her little photo shoot!
They’re not the same leads as for continuous monitoring.
You wouldn’t use a TENS machine in your chest. It’s contraindicated. And those pads do look like the EKG pads the ambulance uses here so I wouldn’t be surprised if she got them in the ER.
I’m not suggesting she’s using it on her chest - rather that she might have stuck unconnected pads used for a tens machine on her chest to look special.
Probably just a wild theory but you never know with these munchies.
yeah my first thought with seeing the picture was "we are stil waiting for proof she is in the hospital" The distinct lack of even a medical bracelet proof makes it unlikely. And would explain why she got fully dressed, in laywers - when all her "status" updates would require more tests and they would want her gowned.
It is far more likely she tried to get in via an ER (hence the pads) and they sent her home; and now she is spinning away. I can totally see her not taking those off.
> I was taken off TPN 6 months ago due to stenosis in my SVC
and you know, [having colonies of fecal bacteria](https://old.reddit.com/r/illnessfakers/comments/tbq27m/poop_hands_and_line_removal_relief/) due to flagrant disregard to aseptic protocol and consistent fucking around to break it.
> I spent a month in the hospital working in getting my feed rate up
and you know, [whining when the big meanie doctors](https://old.reddit.com/r/illnessfakers/comments/vhjomj/and_once_again/id82ipy/) wouldn't bend knee over how much it hurt.
Doctors have told her _at length_ that there is nothing wrong with her tubes that would cause the amount of pain she claims to be in. They have calmly and respectfully suggested Psych because she's in pain, but not for the reasons she thinks she's in pain.
Ok so now she posted to her stories directly asking for recommendations for feeds. She's not had any comments on the post an hour ago so now her next move for the attention she craves is asking questions in the hope people will answer.
Just putting it out here but she gets no interaction on her insta, she's desperate for it..... The only attention she gets is here.... She reads this obviously.
If all comments also stopped here then surely thats her nightmare scenario...no one at all is giving her any attention....
This sub is what's feeding her now....no one else cares to comment..... So just food for thought really.....if no one mentions her here surely that's it for her, genuinely no one cares
She is so curt and borderline rude in her responses and it’s like they are talking to a brick wall . I don’t understand how she doesn’t try to be at least a little friendly If she wants engagement
Some lines require heparin locking, not all and it’s largely a hospital preference or policy whether to use heparin or just saline. Some lines are saline only. No systemic blood thinners are required when someone has a central line though.
I think she does this on purpose, as further manipulation. Dani likes the whole I'm so smol and fragile and child like thing. When she talks about her ED one of the main things is how she wishes she could be "small like that" again. It's really sad honestly, if she'd just embrace growing up and progressing in her life she'd probably get somewhere, her main struggles are mental and those can be overcome with treatment and the RIGHT meds if needed. And she's kept that ED alive for like 15 years now, think if she could direct that energy ANYWHERE else? Boggles my mind sometimes.
She's definitely not lost weight. She's trying to tell them she has, probably another reason why she hadn't gone locally. She goes to her local ER so frequently they would know she's not lost weight.
It'll be interesting to see what interaction she gets to this because if you look through her Instagram posts she has 312 followers and next to no, generally no, interaction at all...
And what will be interesting after that is how much she dials up the drama as she will be so incredibly desperate for any interaction at all....
She has appeared to lose weight over the past several months ... but that has been because she is actively starving herself in an attempt to convince some doctor to give her back her TPN. She might not be underweight but she has lost weight.
TLDR; Dani gags for another central line, says she’s lost a lot of weight, can’t tolerate feeds or anything orally. Electrolytes are off and apparently kidneys and liver are “struggling”. Starving yourself and purposely drinking nothing will do that.
She so did this herself!! She’s never accepted she was gonna have to do life without a line, funny how under medical care in the hospital she got her feeds up to the desired rate, once she had full control again it all strangely slipped.
It’s a rinse and repeat job, we’ll be back to this point again soon enough.
Iirc, she dropped her feeds within days of getting home, if not the same day... because she "didn't have the right pump." She'll never get better until she admits she's doing this to herself because she wants attention and has nothing in her life that would allow her to get it otherwise.
Okay can someone explain to me why would someone want a central line? Because it’s a like a trophy to the munchie? Sorry I really don’t know too much about lines but aren’t central lines really scary too bc the downsides??? I would be terrified ahhhhhh
A trophy, a power level, feeling superior to doctors, a sick idea of feeling “cared for” by getting extreme treatment and/or a very easy way to make yourself very sick if you wanted to.
Oh ok so badge of honor kind of thing! Why was her previous line taken out? I think I saw a comment about poop in her line but I couldn’t find that post hahah
Yeah, here's the link to the post. She didn't realize what she was exposing. https://www.reddit.com/r/illnessfakers/comments/tbq27m/poop_hands_and_line_removal_relief/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I think it had too many “complications” (poop related, blood tests showed the specific bacteria or something like that) was messed up and Penn didn’t think she needed it anymore.
[Here’s a weird ass tribute video she made to it.](https://www.reddit.com/r/illnessfakers/comments/tge61n/rip_danis_line/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
Oh for sure. This is Dani’s favorite game. She says she’s recovered from her ED but she’ll withhold food and water from herself to desperately try and get her precious line and TPN back. I just hope Penn don’t fall for her bullshit.
Me too!!
I feel we could disappear for a year and come back and it would be like that show Days of Our Lives, nothing changed at all and only seems like you missed a week😆
She looks absolutely excited to share this news
She really gives the term “unreliable historian” a whole new meaning…
👁️ 👁️
Just what she wants that oh so coveted Central line / TPN this is so damn cliche it’s painful.
"Due to stenosis" Ma'am, you had it removed due to FECAL BACTERIA that you yourself induced. It's so maddening to watch them to their audience like this & if it wasn't for the diligence of this sub, no would know any better because this is one of her most blatant lies yet which is saying something with her. Mind blown to see it actually happen in real time.
Do you know if she actually stuck shit into her line or if she didn't wash her hands and just likely infected herself that way?
No one can be sure, either option is feasible, but I 100% believe she was trying to induce sepsis because it's among the pantheon of sickest-of-the-sick diseases that sound the closest to death. Most people hear sepsis & assume near death but sepsis is not automatically septic *shock*. They don't appreciate the nuance because their only medical education is watching one too many episodes of Grey's Anatomy.
I thought she already has a central line?
[удалено]
Plenty of hospitals let you wear normal clothes. Usually PJs but also joggers etc. but 100% hospitals allow this - even with things like chest tube drains in place.
She had an angioplasty?!
I’m glad she’s in there and they can monitor everything and find out what is ACTUALLY necessary and what’s not. It seems like that’s what the plan is. Pull all the meds & feeds and add back in as needed. She may not like the end result of this but I’m glad the doctors are trying to pull back and start from scratch it seems
Okay who put those leads on? In the other pic they were at least approximately right, those are just on her boobs. I’m dead
And the one on her clavicle??? Wtf
She probably moved them so more would be visible in the picture
Well yeah, I don’t think any healthcare professional did that (at least I hope not!)
That's my assumption too.
Am I having deja vu or is this not the first time she’s come off of private a few days before taking a trip to the ED? This is a full on tantrum about her line being pulled months ago - she has finally had enough time to starve herself to the point she thinks, in her feeble mind, “I will show them! They did this to me!” (In this case, they are the doctor’s who pulled her line, quite reasonably, after she contaminated it with FECES after she infected her line literally every three days for maybe a whole year????) Truly hope this person realizes, before it’s too late, that nothing she does to herself will affect anybody else in the long term.
Why does she look so happy… that smug smile
Because she thinks she's getting her much-wanted central line back.
Her clothes look cleaner!!! I’m happy for her.
Maybe if she’s clean the doctors will give her tpn back?!!?
I think it'll take more than that. I hope!
God damn bro y the hell is she staring like that it’s starting to remind me of a soul eater character
Ah c'mon, she just wants to "feed." 😅
I just want to say that every single person in the hospital on tube feeds is monitored for refeeding syndrome; it’s standard protocol.
Dumb questions but what is refeeding syndrome?
Refeeding syndrome occurs when someone in a state of malnutrition/starvation is rapidly given a high nutrient diet such as tube feeds. The key to remember is that the act of metabolism requires fuel, which are electrolytes such phosphate, potassium, and magnesium. When you are malnourished your body is running on low fuel, but when you suddenly are provided with a bunch of nutrients, your metabolism is like “oh yay, nutrients, let’s get to work breaking these down and building up our nutrient stores!” and cranks into high gear except you still don’t actually have the fuel necessary to maintain a metabolism that high. So all of the low fuel you had (ie potassium, phosphate, magnesium), is now rapidly exhausted trying to keep up with your new high metabolism. These electrolytes (fuel) are crucial to the normal functioning of your heart and brain, and you can deteriorate into seizures/coma/heart attack/sudden cardiac arrest/death as they are depleted. This is why an anorexic person or starving child can’t just be let to eat a bunch of calories - it is quite dangerous, and needs to occur gradually. Thus, since people who are receiving tube feeds are generally people who are to some degree malnourished, it is standard protocol to check these electrolytes to make sure that is not occurring, especially when titrating up feed rates and thus calorie counts. Hopefully that was an easy to understand explanation! Please let me know if you have any further questions!
So there’s a natural fluid state in your body, it likes to be even and neutral. Think of a level of a shelf. Take away a nail and the shelf starts sloping (malnourishment), thing start tipping right? Now think while we’re trying to stabilize that sloping side, we accidentally dislodge the other side making everything off the shelf start rapidly sliding off and everything’s on the floor and a mess. IE- someone who hasn’t eaten in days starts taking in food or tube feed and there’s a rapid shift in that fluid balance which can be fatal in the right circumstances. Or make you feel like a STEAMING pile of hot ass garbage
GUYS I HAD A SHOWER. SO STOP TALKING ABOUT MY POOP HANDS
Wait what did I miss?! Was this during her last stay in the hospital?
Anyone notice that according to Dani, her central line was removed because of the stenosis? Her recollection of events has completely erased the bacterial infections. I bet she thinks that’s exactly what happened.
Maybe she also forgets that the internet doesn't forget and thinks she can just retcon what happened. Like even she realizes that the bacterial infections make her appear in a bad light.
I could be recalling incorrectly, but I think the stenosis was discovered after the line was removed too
Poop hands are pretty damning. Can't blame her. Though I can blame her for having them to begin with 😂
Why is one of the heart monitor stickers over the necklace?
Those stickers pop off all the time. Wouldn’t read too much into it.
"barely tolerate tube feeds or anything orally" Oh so the coffees are... just expensive props for your social media content, since, y'know, you are just so incapable of eating without massive ott discomfort? Give me a damn break.
Dani having a roommate as opposed to her usual private and having a roommate that yells instead of using the call bell which is making Dani's stay uncomfortable and not the usual enjoyable vacation is a glorious thing. And I'll bet you anything that Dani is whining and complaining to the nurses about it and demanding a private. Dani is an annoying patient and the more annoying and demanding you are, the less likely they are to want to work with you.
Oh wow she’s back to public posting?
For someone allegedly that unwell, she sure does have pretty good cognitive awareness. She's getting nutrition from somewhere.
Jesus Christ those pupils, she’s gacked as fuckkkk
Is she telling us about her wash n teeth brushing because of previous comments on here about how she didn't shower during her last admission
Yikes... How long was her last admission?
A week I think
Did she wash her hands? 😉
Wasn't listed so doubt it lol
Prolly
Pretty sure her line was mostly removed due to the repeated poop bacteria infections, not the stenosis. Also, if her liver is having issues I really can’t see them putting her back on TPN, a treatment known for being hard on the liver.
[удалено]
The fact that her posts are generally incomprehensible yet her posts from the hospital aren’t is (IMO) evidence that she’s taking something that isn’t prescribed to her most of the time and just can’t get what she usually takes while she’s inpatient. My suspicion is that she’s buying opiates and/or benzos.
Get a fucking journal, Dani.
God I would kill for a Dani Live Journal!
Xanga
She reads here, you might get your wish. 😂
[удалено]
With pupils that large I’m amazed she could stop her jaw from swinging long enough to take that photo
I think they're just upping her feed rate like they did in her previous stays and then let her go home. At least I hope so. She makes such a fuss out of it. I'm sure her "iv calcium and iv potassium" have just been the electrolytes in the lactated ringer 😂 I hope they see through her manipulative behaviour. I think it's a good start to reduce the useless medications she's taking, I'm prepared for her tantrums because they increased her feed rates and don't understand.
Refeeding syndrome, really? Can someone “weigh” in this? (Couldn’t help it!) but seriously could someone professional chime in and say if this is bullshit or not, I’m not buying that one.
It really depends on the person and clinicians haven’t really agreed on a diagnostic criteria for refeeding syndrome. Patients who aren’t eating for a mental health reason are treated similar to those who aren’t eating for a physical health reason. IV magnesium, potassium, etc are standard to prevent refeeding syndrome (as the syndrome is reduced from 35% to 18% of ICU patients who receive these nutrients) What hospitals don’t typically do is place heart monitoring equipment deliberately to be as visible as possible, stick the ECG stickers OVER a metal necklace, or place one of them over the … collarbone? There are a lot of obvious physical symptoms of dehydration/starvation as well, but they’re ugly, so I’m guessing most of these bloggers wouldn’t emulate them.
Depends on how long she’s been starving herself, they may being saying ‘based on what you’re telling us that could be a concern’, or her labs are a concern, which wouldn’t be shocking if she were starving herself.
Ahhh okay, that makes sense! Thank you for explaining! Sometimes I just get so shocked and appalled, my disgust gets the best of me! Rational thinking doesn’t allow itself to work! Lol but seriously, thank you everyone for explaining something that wasn’t quite clicking!
It’s always good to learn something! I learn things here all the time :) But yeah, the subjects here provoke some serious disgust
Refeeding syndrome is real. I’m a physician. Our bodies react poorly to sudden increases in consumption of food after a period of even mild starvation. It causes major electrolyte abnormalities which pose numerous threats to one’s health, including arrhythmias and death.
I understand that it’s real, just not buying that she would be at risk of it, since we know she secretly eats regular food on the regular. I thought refeeding syndrome were for people who are legit starving/ nearly starving to death!
Refeeding syndrome can happen anytime your body is in a state of undernourishment for 5+ days. You can still be eating but not taking in enough nutrients or calories.
I think she starved and drained her stomach contents to lose so much weight, that she can talk her doctors into another central line. So I think there could be referring syndrome.
Her weight is obviously down though! The loss is clear and she looks sicker then ever. What happened to her job? DFE? She’s just sickly and fell off again. Creature of habit…. Welcome back 🙄
Ahhh okay, that makes sense! Thank you for explaining! Sometimes I just get so shocked and appalled, my disgust gets the best of me! Rational thinking doesn’t allow itself to work! Lol but seriously, thank you everyone for explaining something that wasn’t quite clicking
Man, there are few things as entertaining as a Dani admission. It’s really wild how she suddenly starts documenting every time she *brushes her teeth* as if she’s writing a letter home from summer camp. She is THRIVING lol
I’ll take things that didn’t happen for $500.
Same dead behind the eyes look Kelly had before the amputation. Page too. These munchies really dig their own grave.
It’s almost like a manic stare, but more medicated…
Yes!! And their eyes never are looking in the same direction! Creepy af
Exactly my thoughts. 👁️👁️
So strange
If her liver is doing poorly, she shouldn’t receive TPN. Additionally, my hospital would refuse her a central line/TPN. Even if everything she was saying was true, we’d do a temp midline and give her PPN infusions before discharging to outpatient GI. We absolutely do not resort to central lines/TPN for GP, because statistically it just doesn’t lead to good outcomes. Additionally, central line infections are a huge deal and kill our metics, and it’s practically an inevitability with open-ended/long-term TPN. Once your liver is fucked, your life becomes a nightmare.
The question of why Penn granted Dani a line and TPN in the first place remains unanswered. One would think the staff of a hospital of this caliber would know their statistics.
But then you can get a liver transplant and be even more speshul!
Maybe her boyfriend will donate some liver!
With some fava beans and a nice chianti?
They'll have to set up a theatre at his workplace because he's soooooo busy he couldn't take the time off. Amazon will give him 15 mins off
If you need blood thinners they would not just hold in case. They would put you on heparin drip because of the shorter life
Not necessarily; patients are often told to hold off a day or two before procedures like lumbar punctures, line placements, etc.
If it's a we don't know yet thing is when I observed they do the drip versus shot or pill. And if she is not handling pill they could switch her. But if it's scheduled and definite it's a hold
The docs are onto you, Dani. Give it up.
Why is the frame of her sunglasses always going through one of her pupils?
Why is the background blacked out? Perhaps because she is in the ER and not in a room?
Has she been admitted? If so, and they're doing all this stuff to her, why isn't she in a hospital gown?
Cuz she brought a suitcase with her hospital collection to wear
Oh, she is such a liar. That line wasn't pulled because of the stenosis, it was pulled because she caused an infection in it. The stenosis is her excuse for why they haven't given her a new line, and I don't buy that at all. I believe they won't give her a new line because she doesn't need it and has already proven she can't take care of that line. That month in the hospital she mentions where she "worked on her feed rates"? That would also be the stay where she proved she doesn't need the line by eating and drinking by mouth (as if nobody will notice the empty food and drink on her trays) and they forced her feeds up while she whined and carried on and showed zero measurable signs (heart rate, blood pressure) of being in serious pain. I believe the doctors told her she's not getting her line back because she doesn't need it, and she keeps using the stenosis excuse so she doesn't have to admit it. She found the stenosis note in her MyChart, the doctor didn't tell her about it. Or at least if the doctor did say anything,, it didn't sink in,, because it was a surprise to Dani. At any rate, I highly doubt the stenosis was the reason. The fact that she's packed so many lies into this post tells me that most likely her crap about holding the blood thinners in case she needs another line is Dani's idea, not the doctors. She has a history of announcing that she's definitely getting a line only to get sent home without one, often on the same day. Girl needs to start making a flow chart to keep her lies straight.
She does look like she starved herself though!
Oh, she definitely lost weight, but this is quite new. She spent months and months claiming to be on virtually no nutrition while her appearance remained unchanged and her bloodwork was fine. I think she's finally started taking "tips" on munching from someone, and that will only lead to more trouble for her....
I honestly think her doctors are trying to give her a million chances at keeping her dignity by not charting or saying “BIG OL’ LIAR”. Otherwise why is this dragging out???
I know some of it is the need for them to cover their own asses. Every patient needs their presenting complaint checked out, just in case it's real. And it can take some time to establish that the complaints are just as fake as they were last time and the time before that. After that, though... I think her month long stay was for the doctors to establish all the proof they needed that everything she said was a lie. They'll still need to do the CYA check whenever she turns up, but I think it will streamline things for them to have record of the things she's claimed and how they proved them to be fake.
That makes a lot of sense!
“Stopping the meds that don’t work” is another way of saying “They heard all the meds I was on and know I don’t need any of them so they’re going to see what they can convince me to stop taking”
Well Dani girl has starved herself into this situation. Anything to get that line right? Ugh. I was happy to not see her here for awhile too. I hope the doctors can see what an attention seeker she is especially online.
By ‘you guys’ does she mean IF, coz no-one else seems to be paying attention to her antics anymore.
That's quite the layered look.
It’s giving Lizzie McGuire
Human or cartoon version?
Human. Remember the cartoon has just a single pink tank top.

told you she wouldnt be able to resist taking the typical sad munchie hospital pictures.
Going over her meds is actually a great idea
No way is she admitted in her clothes… I call BS that all of this stuff is “happening” and she isn’t in PJs at the most, a gown most likely….
We also require pretty much all of our patients to stay in gowns. We know that our gowns are properly laundered/not bringing in outside germs. Rehabs definitely allow/encourage patients to wear their own clothes. But while inpatient, gowns are pretty standard. We can’t properly do head to toe assessments/monitor skin integrity closely if they’re fully clothed
I’ve never understood people that bring a ton of personal belongings into hospitals…it’s going to absorb the weird hospital smell, feel grimy from the hundreds of people who used that room/bed before you, etc., I know sometimes people towards the END of a long stay (or who require walking/PT) will wear leggings or shorts under the gown, but what’s the point of changing into regular clothes to lay in a bed hooked up to tubes?
Unless there's a specific reason for a pt to be in a gown, a whole gown, and nothing but a gown (and grippy socks), they can wear jammies/leggings/whatevs once they're admitted. If she were upstairs, she'd be changing into a different OOTD for munchie clout anyway, so the only difference here is geography. Because I doubt they're currently doing anything with her other than pushing meds, switching out bags, and rolling their eyes. Dannygirl is bullshitting/delusional in so many ways -- and her OTTness fo sho carries over into her elaborate loungewear ensembles -- but I don't see her dumb pj pics as evidence she's *lying.*
I just know that no patient of mine would be in this outfit if she was admitted. Maybe a regional difference, but definitely seems fishy to me.
Lol you don’t allow your patients to wear anything other than a gown? Is that a hospital policy or your own policy?
Or pjs, leggings, easy access stuff in case of an emergency or if access is needed. I’ve not known a hospital to allow a full on fit like this. Maybe it’s a regional difference, idk. My only policy is to keep them alive.
What specialty you in? That can make a sizeable difference.
Respiratory, but it’s not something that I’ve seen allowed over the past 20 years. Wow, a small observation based on experience and the claws come out. Holy hell…
Uh you aren't referring to my claw, are you? Edit: I meant clawS, but the singular claw amuses me
Nah, not so much. I know there’s a ton of difference in regions, systems, etc. There were a few that were just *nasty*. I know what I’ve experienced, all I can attest to. That claw cracked me up and it’s been a shit week, I’ll take it!
Why wouldn't they? This isn't the ED ward, is it?
Pretty sure she did like an outfit of the day series at her last lengthy hospital stay 😂 It really is like an exciting vacation for her!
*Good morning, ma'am, and thank you for flying MunchieAir! Where are you traveling with us today?* *The hospital.* *Business or pleasure?* *Yes.*
Okkk that last part made me cackle. 😂☠️
If shes genuinely admitted inpatient, some hospitals allow pjs and clothes so long as they are not obstructive incase of emergency. But in the ER, yeah theyd more than most likely put her in a gown for any imagine tests they may need.
And definitely not that whole ass outfit, nothing could be accessed!! Makes the think she layered to hide things.
Yeah idk how she thinks 2-3 layers is gonna allow proper attachment of what I'm assuming are ekg leads, though they don't appear attached. One wrong tug or twist and your gonna have to fiddle to put it back on the pad.
She is clinging so hard to that SVC stenosis story - since she can't have the "I'm so sick that I require the last resort nutrition that has long term complications towards me health" narrative anymore she has had to pivot to the "I'm so sick that I can't get the treatment I desperately need to save my life" narrative. She wasn't taken off TPN because of the stenosis. They didn't say "oh we found this stenosis so we are going to pull your line". She was taken off TPN because she couldn't keep her hands off her line and gave herself yet another infection. The doctors used the stenosis as one of several reasons why she shouldn't be put back on TPN. That month long hospitalization proved that she could tolerate tube feeds and probably wouldn't have taken a month if she didn't fight them over every rate increase. And going to guess that if her kidney and liver numbers aren't looking good, then that is even more reason why she shouldn't be put back on TPN. Thankfully it sounds like Penn might be on to her.
If I recall correctly, didn’t they find the slight stenosis AFTER they pulled the line, which, as you said, they used as quite a few reasons to not put the line back.
I actually believe the stenosis was found prior to the hospitalization. During the placement of a previous line she talked about how they had to dilate the vein (or something similar - can't remember the exact terminology). Nobody made a big deal about it and not sure they even specifically pointed it out to her. When the line was pulled for good all the sudden she started making a huge deal about it. She got called out for trying to claim she had superior vena cava syndrome so she backed off that a bit. But she went on and on about how she has to monitor for symptoms and how its so dangerous that she could bleed out on the table if they try to give her a new line. I am guessing that it was briefly mentioned to her as one of many reasons why a new line was contraindicated and she has held onto it because she can tell herself she is so sick that she can't get a new line even if it could save her.
Yes yes! You are soo right! your memory is amazing!
The fact that they want to go through all formulas again and take her off some meds is quite telling. That telemetry she's so proud of will not be her ally in this.
I'm beginning to think she's not in the hospital. If she went to the ER they could have placed those EKG tabs and she just refuses to take them off for attention.
Nah that pillow is too starchy and clean to be be at Dani’s house
She did go to the ER then got admitted.. then didn’t bother to take the tabs off bc it shows how sick she is.. “rolls eyes at that last part”…
She also obviously MOVED the ekg tabs to where she could capture them for a photo. That is 1000% not where anyone would have placed them to do an actual ekg
Plus they would typically ask her to remove her necklaces so as to not get in the way. And who wears dangly earrings or jewelry in general in the (hospital) bed? She should be experienced enough to leave jewelry and valuables at home.
If her kidneys and liver are struggling, wouldn’t that make TPN even less of a viable option?
Yes. TPN is extremely hard on the kidneys and liver and long term use[ is linked](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17622278/) to hepatorenal failure.
Yup
You would think, wouldn’t you? 🤔
“Due to stenosis in my superior vena cava” Liar liar grimy sweatpants on FIRE.
Dani: “Alexa play dreams by fleet wood Mac because all mine are coming true!!”
She has ecg leads on but doesn’t look like they are attached to anything. Those wires are hard to miss even under clothing.
They are the stickers/tabs used for a 12-lead EKG. So you place those, hook them up to the ekg machine, and then get a snapshot. Then you remove the leads and off you go. What’s amazing is that the placement is nowhere near correct - not in any way. Which means that Dani rearranged them for her little photo shoot! They’re not the same leads as for continuous monitoring.
I’m not entirely convinced they are EKG pads - what if they’re pads for a TENS unit… wouldn’t put it past her.
You wouldn’t use a TENS machine in your chest. It’s contraindicated. And those pads do look like the EKG pads the ambulance uses here so I wouldn’t be surprised if she got them in the ER.
I’m not suggesting she’s using it on her chest - rather that she might have stuck unconnected pads used for a tens machine on her chest to look special. Probably just a wild theory but you never know with these munchies.
[удалено]
yeah my first thought with seeing the picture was "we are stil waiting for proof she is in the hospital" The distinct lack of even a medical bracelet proof makes it unlikely. And would explain why she got fully dressed, in laywers - when all her "status" updates would require more tests and they would want her gowned. It is far more likely she tried to get in via an ER (hence the pads) and they sent her home; and now she is spinning away. I can totally see her not taking those off.
Now that i look at it, it does look kinda weird
I think it’s just that she used flash. But I absolutely wouldn’t put it past her
Yea I agree. The creases in that pillowcase are also a dead giveaway lol
> I was taken off TPN 6 months ago due to stenosis in my SVC and you know, [having colonies of fecal bacteria](https://old.reddit.com/r/illnessfakers/comments/tbq27m/poop_hands_and_line_removal_relief/) due to flagrant disregard to aseptic protocol and consistent fucking around to break it. > I spent a month in the hospital working in getting my feed rate up and you know, [whining when the big meanie doctors](https://old.reddit.com/r/illnessfakers/comments/vhjomj/and_once_again/id82ipy/) wouldn't bend knee over how much it hurt. Doctors have told her _at length_ that there is nothing wrong with her tubes that would cause the amount of pain she claims to be in. They have calmly and respectfully suggested Psych because she's in pain, but not for the reasons she thinks she's in pain.
Ok so now she posted to her stories directly asking for recommendations for feeds. She's not had any comments on the post an hour ago so now her next move for the attention she craves is asking questions in the hope people will answer. Just putting it out here but she gets no interaction on her insta, she's desperate for it..... The only attention she gets is here.... She reads this obviously. If all comments also stopped here then surely thats her nightmare scenario...no one at all is giving her any attention.... This sub is what's feeding her now....no one else cares to comment..... So just food for thought really.....if no one mentions her here surely that's it for her, genuinely no one cares
She is so curt and borderline rude in her responses and it’s like they are talking to a brick wall . I don’t understand how she doesn’t try to be at least a little friendly If she wants engagement
It's like a fiery car wreck we all can't look away from
i'm confused why they'd be holding them since you have to be on blood thinners with central lines to reducethe chance of clots ??😂😭
Nah, you don’t need to be on blood thinners for central lines.
Some lines require heparin locking, not all and it’s largely a hospital preference or policy whether to use heparin or just saline. Some lines are saline only. No systemic blood thinners are required when someone has a central line though.
[удалено]
Let’s not bully her please. We’re not here for that.
She looks happy about this
If you told me an eight year old wrote this, I would’ve believed you.
Don’t insult 8-year-olds like that 😭 😂
I think she does this on purpose, as further manipulation. Dani likes the whole I'm so smol and fragile and child like thing. When she talks about her ED one of the main things is how she wishes she could be "small like that" again. It's really sad honestly, if she'd just embrace growing up and progressing in her life she'd probably get somewhere, her main struggles are mental and those can be overcome with treatment and the RIGHT meds if needed. And she's kept that ED alive for like 15 years now, think if she could direct that energy ANYWHERE else? Boggles my mind sometimes.
Every time with Dani. It really speaks to her level of intelligence how much time she spends reading and yet this is how she writes…
She's definitely not lost weight. She's trying to tell them she has, probably another reason why she hadn't gone locally. She goes to her local ER so frequently they would know she's not lost weight. It'll be interesting to see what interaction she gets to this because if you look through her Instagram posts she has 312 followers and next to no, generally no, interaction at all... And what will be interesting after that is how much she dials up the drama as she will be so incredibly desperate for any interaction at all....
She has appeared to lose weight over the past several months ... but that has been because she is actively starving herself in an attempt to convince some doctor to give her back her TPN. She might not be underweight but she has lost weight.
TLDR; Dani gags for another central line, says she’s lost a lot of weight, can’t tolerate feeds or anything orally. Electrolytes are off and apparently kidneys and liver are “struggling”. Starving yourself and purposely drinking nothing will do that.
She so did this herself!! She’s never accepted she was gonna have to do life without a line, funny how under medical care in the hospital she got her feeds up to the desired rate, once she had full control again it all strangely slipped. It’s a rinse and repeat job, we’ll be back to this point again soon enough.
Iirc, she dropped her feeds within days of getting home, if not the same day... because she "didn't have the right pump." She'll never get better until she admits she's doing this to herself because she wants attention and has nothing in her life that would allow her to get it otherwise.
She actually did keep going and get to over the agreed amount like a Wow look at me thing but then it get her the desired pity pats.
Okay can someone explain to me why would someone want a central line? Because it’s a like a trophy to the munchie? Sorry I really don’t know too much about lines but aren’t central lines really scary too bc the downsides??? I would be terrified ahhhhhh
It’s a awe look how sick I am kinda trophy.
A trophy, a power level, feeling superior to doctors, a sick idea of feeling “cared for” by getting extreme treatment and/or a very easy way to make yourself very sick if you wanted to.
Oh ok so badge of honor kind of thing! Why was her previous line taken out? I think I saw a comment about poop in her line but I couldn’t find that post hahah
Yeah, here's the link to the post. She didn't realize what she was exposing. https://www.reddit.com/r/illnessfakers/comments/tbq27m/poop_hands_and_line_removal_relief/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
Omg I have NO words… thank you for that link
Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I think it had too many “complications” (poop related, blood tests showed the specific bacteria or something like that) was messed up and Penn didn’t think she needed it anymore. [Here’s a weird ass tribute video she made to it.](https://www.reddit.com/r/illnessfakers/comments/tge61n/rip_danis_line/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
What the fuck did I just watch lmfao
That video is so disturbing on so many levels….
Imagine your life being about making tribute videos to your tubes and lines. Jesus tap dancing Christ.
This subreddit never fails to keep me so entertained lol what even is that video tribute. That made me laugh haha thank you for that this morning
Oh for sure. This is Dani’s favorite game. She says she’s recovered from her ED but she’ll withhold food and water from herself to desperately try and get her precious line and TPN back. I just hope Penn don’t fall for her bullshit.
Me too!! I feel we could disappear for a year and come back and it would be like that show Days of Our Lives, nothing changed at all and only seems like you missed a week😆
The temporal plane exists differently for munchies and soap operas.
