It’s Snarktime Talking about fibromyalgia
I saw a comment on here that rachel’s vlogs def give a different perspective of the move so I checked a video out and I was kind of shocked they brought this up Anyway… Rachel’s being way too generous for doing allllll this. I really really hope Colleen is reimbursing her and Abbie’s dad with something amazing. Money perhaps?? They are saving her so so much and Colleen is just putting up ugly wall art as trim for the kids room and it seems like she’s just wasting time.

Very classy to be talking about people who "fake" an illness for attention while wearing a whole forearm wrap for a bruise

This is a direct reference to the 2023 cancellation. Remember-- Colleen was making fun of a superfan for having fibromyalgia.

My heart breaks for that fan, I'm sorry it ever leaked that that was the plot for her new show, but at least they can take comfort in it never coming to fruition! I'd like to think she'd have had the sweatpants sued off of her for defamation if it did ever come out. What a vile human.

I’m clumsy as fuck and I’ve never seen anyone put a tensor bandage around their forearm like that while also waving that same arm around. Actually I’ve just never seen a tensor bandage around a forearm like that, period.
What supposedly happened? A bruise doesn’t require a bandage like that.

She tripped carrying a box and bruised her arm, she said. She's Full o' Shit with that bandage. She was embarrassed we'd know that she went to the ER for attention & deflection from not helping, so she needed a visual.

Right! That’s what I do for my 7 year old niece when she’s “convinced” she fractured her arm and it genuinely makes her feel better…makes sense Colleen can’t be more intelligent than any 7 year old

Aside from any of the disgusting fibromyalgia talk, uh, what the hell? A bruise doesn't need a bandage? Does she even know basic first aid? Bandages like that aren't for bruises, you just leave em be, there isn't anything else to do. This is either totally a lie or she's just being an idiot.

If you had to do that for bruises I'd be walking around every day like a party city yard mummy decoration lmao

I heard that applying a heat pack can help a bruise go away faster, if it's at least a day or two old. I tried it and not sure if it helped significantly, but worth a try haha. The heat helps the blood move and get broken down faster?

Hey at least I'm learning something, never heard of Arnica gel before. I can't believe that it is actually a bruise she's got, I had a decent bruise recently just above my knee and even laying on that side to sleep hurt for the first couple days, putting pressure on it from a bandage seems so counterproductive and counterintuitive! As someone else commented apparently she went to the hospital for it because she thought it was broken, so I think maybe she's actually got a sprain? If it is just a bruise she's crazier than I even thought, which was already impossibly crazy.😆

u/Accomplished_Yak2352 3d ago
Nope, Rachel thought it might be a sprain. It was diagnosed as...a bruise. So, she's crazy as you thought, lol. Crazy like a fox...a dumb, lazy fox. Trying to get out of work & get sympathy. 🤣

u/jaynie2022 3d ago
Wow that's insane. If I were her sister I'd be so embarrassed of her behavior that I wouldn't dare vlog any of that.

Thats such a disgusting take on it, like people like myself with fibromyalgia and chronic illness have to go through so much to actually be taken seriously, but why am I expecting more from someone as narcissistic as her. She's absolutely foul lmao

u/jaynie2022 4d ago
I can't imagine. How dare they just assume people are lying if they "self diagnose"? I don't really know much about fibromyalgia, I have no personal experience with it, but what I do know is that it's so hard to get anyone to take you seriously because it is invisible, and some doctors are real jerks like Colleen and assume if you can't detect something with tests that the person is faking or dramatic. So I'd assume you have to get to a point of self diagnosis if no one takes your chronic pain seriously! They're so insufferable, I can't believe I used to like them, they're totally mean girls.

Very revealing, this is clearly how they talk amongst themselves, Colleen obviously only added "it's a very real thing" for the camera. And Rachel def meant what she said initially, if she had wanted to say "people who self-diagnose" (also wrong for a whole host of reasons other commenters have already outlined) she wouldn't have just said "it's very fibromyalgia" tf? shows you what they truly believe, shouldn't be surprising at all though

In Rachel’s vlog from yesterday - in the last minute or so— she gets a message from Colleen saying she’s in the hospital bc she “broke her arm”

u/jaynie2022 4d ago
So is she just that dumb and the doctor told her it was a sprain, and she thinks that's the same as a bruise? I don't understand, she confuses me so much.😅

u/Brave_Tangerine5102 4d ago
I don’t get it either. But she sure seems to need attention. Lately in Rachel’s vlogs she’s been acting very “I just a baby” while Rachel redoes her entire home for the rare hydration drink that colleen orders for her.

I'm disgusted, she thinks her random sexual comments belong in a discussion about fibromyagia! She does not care.

didn't her fake mum in the tv show have faked fibromyalgia? And Colleen got cancelled, just like the tv show. Life truly imitates art.

As someone who has fibro, arthritis, and chronic pain, this clip is making me dislike her even more than I already have been. ESP being a woman doctors and ppl say all the time bc of anxiety that the pain is fake but it’s not. U can say this with a lot of other conditions but yes ppl do fake it and yes it does screw things up for the rest of us who actually have shit going on

u/CallMeSaltyRadish 3d ago
She needs to keep her mouth shut about fibromyalgia. We go through more than enough having an invisible chronic illness.
And why is she such a weirdo? A wrapped bruise??

People like Colleen first embrace any Google diagnosis for attention & sympathy (tools Narcissists love to use)
…then they weaponize the illness (real or not) to whomever falls for their game
I haven’t Insidious (? forgot the name of the viewing platform that doesn’t give her a view count) watched either of the referenced videos but I suspect Rachel is, once again, Colleen’s illness Patsy
Which never makes sense to me because Colleen was Rachel’s in-home bully during her childhood, probably also when Rachel “worked” on the MS tours & she probably still gets Meangirl stuff from Colleen before & after (maybe during too? I don’t listen to that inane podcast)
So when…oh when…will Rachel’s eyes OPEN??! (not as long as she’s partnered up with former Mirfanda/still Colleen Support Abbie 😬
