Munchausen by internet can be bad for your health forum

As paraplegic blogger 'David Rose' is exposed as a hoax, here are some tips to recognise fake illness claims on support sites

Based on more than 100 cases of Munchausen by internet shared with me via my Munchausen website, I have arrived at a list of clues to the detection of false internet illness ...

1. The posts consistently duplicate material in other posts, in books or on health-related websites.

2. The characteristics of the supposed illness emerge as caricatures.

3. Near-fatal bouts of illness alternate with miraculous recoveries.

4. The claims are fantastic, contradicted by subsequent posts or flatly disproved.

5. There are continual dramatic events in the person's life, especially when other group members hav...

6. There is feigned blitheness about crises that will predictably attract immediate attention.

7. Others apparently posting on behalf of the patient (eg family members, friends) have identical pa...

The most important lesson is that, while most people visiting virtual support groups are honest, eve...

Hi Cat, thank you .I agree with you

and you too Lionrose .I assure you though that I am not and will not be used .Perhaps I have in the past by caring for and about some of the wrong type of people .

the assessment for disabilty ($4/$5/hr) employment  done today by one of my sons workers (based only on his answers view of himself and his abilities) really reinforced what I already know...that it depends who you get your info from.I spoke with the worker afterwards as I was concerned for the future employer and for my son if that was the 'worker' the employer would be expecting.It seemed like fraud and negligent too.She said she will do a report to add to my sons self assessment .I told her about things happening on here .I'm glad I did.She wasn't aware that having a nursing career or background also made us suspects .

sorry Iza.. your post made no sense at all.... 

$4 to $5 for disability employment is common.. if he is taken on by an employer and it is known that he has a disability he is actually taken on under compassionate grounds... not to exploit. 

If he is that disabled then he will need a lot of assistance and guidance and that is at a cost to the employer... He will need the help of a person to guide him through and make sure he turns up... 

And what are you suspects in???

What does having a nursing degree or background  make you a suspect in??? 

And what does chatting on a forum have to do with her???
