Exodus 20:16 M.A.M.A. was started in response to the fast growing number of false allegations of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy (MSBP) . Parents are being accused of making their own children ill. Increasingly, families across America, Britain, Australia, Canada and New Zealand are being destroyed by doctors and other professionals who make unwarranted allegations against desperate mothers of chronically/critically ill children. The motives of the accusers can be multi-faceted. Often, allegations are used by a doctor or institution to evade a medical malpractice lawsuit , or to simply rid themselves of a troublesome mom when unable to diagnose a child's condition. "MSBP experts" are career building at the expense of children! Increasingly, this "diagnosis" is being deliberately misused by opposing parents in child custody suits. Many nurses and even doctors have been accused. SIDS deaths are the new frontier of prosecution.

http://www.shpm.com/articles/parenting/hsmun.html

Extractions: THE DILEMMA OF MUNCHAUSEN SYNDROME BY PROXY Kathleen Bush and Yvonne Eldridge had a lot in common. First, both cared for children with remarkably complex medical problems: Jennifer Bush suffered from constant intestinal problems, and Eldridge's two foster daughters experienced a host of ailments that left them weak and emaciated. Second, both Bush and Eldridge spent most of their time escorting their sickly girls from doctor to doctor: Jennifer was eventually hospitalized 200 times, and all three children had to undergo surgery to place feeding tubes into their stomachs. And third, both parents received the highest praise for their exemplary devotion to their little charges: Bush was lauded by Hillary Clinton at a 1994 White House rally, while Eldridge was named national "Mother of the Year" in 1988 by Nancy Reagan. Yet prosecutors now maintain that Kathleen Bush and Yvonne Eldridge shared one more feature, a dark secret only recently exposed to the glare of television shows and newspapers around the world. Bush and Eldridge are accused of having a strange psychiatric ailment called "Munchausen syndrome by proxy" that led them to manufacture the girls' illnesses to meet their own needs for attention and sympathy. Bush is alleged to have deliberately poisoned and infected her daughter, Eldridge to have starved her foster children and reported symptoms that never really existed.

Also, he can vouch only for the material in the links below that he has personally written. I am a psychiatrist and author from Birmingham, Alabama. MUNCHAUSEN SYNDROME is the most severe and chronic form of my area of specialty, the FACTITIOUS DISORDERS. I am an expert in MALINGERING as well (in which people do the same thing, but for external gain such as narcotics). Factitious disorders are well-recognized among psychiatrists, but they have not received the attentionor advocacy among consumers, families, and professionalsthat have greeted more common ailments such as depression. However, factitious disorders can be every bit as disabling and further public and professional education are vital. People with factitious disorders feign, exaggerate, or actually self-induce illnesses. Their aim? To assume the status of "patient," and thereby to win attention, nurturance, and lenience that they feel unable to obtain in any other way. Unlike individuals who "malinger," people with factitious disorders are not primarily seeking external gains such as disability payments or narcotic drugsthough they may receive them nonetheless.

http://www.kfshrc.edu.sa/annals/154/94280/94280.html

Extractions: A Case Report and Review of Literature Munchausen syndrome is one of the most intriguing of factitious disorders. Doctors working in teaching institutions and medical emergency centers are more likely to come across such patients and these patients can present with so many diverse complaints that doctors and physicians working in all fields of medicine should be aware of this entity. Most clinicians will encounter at least one patient with a factitious disorder during their practice years of which Munchausen syndrome is the most extreme type. In this report, we present a case of Munchausen syndrome referred as a possible case of immune deficiency. A 22-year-old single female (university student) was referred to our hospital as a possible case of immune deficiency or neutrophil disorder. On admission, she had painful swelling over the right breast for five days and gave a history of similar recurrent swellings over the abdominal wall during the past few months which needed repeated surgical drainage in other hospitals on about 20 occasions. She denied a history of fever, upper or lower respiratory tract symptoms, trauma or such lesions on other parts of the body except the abdominal wall. Her problems started at the age of 17 when she was seen for amenorrhea. She had only two cycles and then failed to menstruate. She was prescribed oral contraceptives and after a few months she developed symptoms suggestive of deep vein thrombosis in one leg. It was proven on venogram and she was started on anticoagulants; while being on warfarin, she developed recurrent deep vein thrombosis (DVT). She was again hospitalized and the dose of warfarin was gradually increased to 105 mg but still the prothrombin time and INR did not increase significantly. Even her medications were given under supervision so she was labeled as a case of warfarin resistance possibly due to poor absorption.

http://www.successunlimited.co.uk/bully/munchaus.htm

Extractions: Factitious disorder, factitious disorder by proxy Munchausen Syndrome is an attention-seeking personality disorder which is more common than statistics suggest. Munchausen Syndrome, named after a German soldier renowned for exaggerated tales, is a predominantly female disorder in which an emotionally immature person with narcissistic tendencies, low self-esteem and a fragile ego has an overwhelming need to draw attention to herself and to be the centre of attention. In Munchausen Syndrome, this is achieved by capitalising on, exploiting, exaggerating or feigning illness or injury or personal misfortune. The opportunities for being centre of attention can be increased if feigning victimhood through alleged victimisation, isolation, exclusion or persecution is added to the equation; the Munchausen person can then depict another person (often a family member) as a victimiser or persecutor and herself as the victim. Presenting herself as a false victim is also a Munchausen trait. In Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy (MSBP), occasions for being centre of attention are created by deliberately causing illness, injury or harm to others to provide opportunities for rescue and care. Often the MSBP sufferer will work as a nurse, perhaps in a hospital ward for sick children (especially very young babies) or in a home for elderly persons, or with severely handicapped people, or as a care giver; the common thread is a victim whose is vulnerable, whose verbal skills or emotional state or mental condition prevents them from explaining what the MSBP person is doing to them and whose hold on life may already be precarious. Even if the victim survives, they cannot or will not be a witness. Because death amongst these groups occurs normally and is therefore not unusual or unexpected, her activities in causing death may escape notice for years.

Munchausen Syndrome - Frequently Asked Questions
Offers tid bits to shed light on this factitious disorder .
http://perso.club-internet.fr/andreisz/munchausen_faq.htm

Extractions: home definitions internet resources Frequently asked questions The only one who knows for sure the diagnosis is the patient her/him self. She/he is the only one who could know if she/he intentionally, consciously produced the signs and symptoms in order to be cared as patient. In this case she/he knows that she/he suffer from Munchausen syndrome (factitious disorder). There is limited information on the best methods to treat factitious disorders. However, there are many reports of various therapies that worked in individual cases. There are also some personal stories of ex - Munchausen patients who recovered (with or without professional help). (On " internet resources " section you'll find links to two of those stories) Finally, "statistically speaking", this pathology seems to become rarer in the old age so, maybe, the natural course is toward recovery. The single most important factor for cure is, in my opinion, the patient's willingness to undergo therapy and liberate her/him self of the disorder. For Munchausen by proxy syndrome data are even scarcer and things are further complicated by the risks for the child (which imposes precaution in assessing individual outcome) and the involvement of the legal system (which make the evaluation of the patient's willingness to cure difficult).

Extractions: On this site you will find Content Introduction : My first aim when I designed this site was to exchange information with professionals (psychiatrists, psychologists, doctors, nurses etc.) on the very narrow topic of factitious disorders with psychological signs and symptoms. At that time I did not imagine that "lay persons" could be interested in such a specific subject. However the mails that I received proved that many persons with no specific training in the medical or psychological fields were interested by factitious disorders and Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSBP). Thus, for those persons, mostly patients, ex patients, parents and friends of Munchausen syndrome sufferers the information was both too limited in scope and too complicated in presentation.

http://www.allsands.com/Health/Diseases/munchausensyndr_xda_gn.htm

Extractions: Munchausen syndrome Munchausen syndrome is a serious medical condition commmonly confused with hypochondria, an often overlooked and minimized condition. With the condition known as hypochondria, people experience physical symptoms of illnesses, and find themselves frequenting doctors offices, believing that they are truly sick. However, in Munchausen syndrome, the sufferer knows that he or she is not ill at all but seeks medical attention in order to gain attention he/she feels cannot be gained in any other manner. In some cases of Munchausen syndrome, the sufferer will even inflict harm upon him/herself in order to make become sick or hurt in such a way that medical attention is required. When the condition may be suspected by a physician, he or she will need to keep careful and close detail of a patient's symptoms, and should avoid all exploratory and extreme treatment procedures (i.e., exploratory surgery). If symptoms of Munchausen persist for six months or more and all other options have been considered, the doctor may approach with some care the subject of the syndrome and its possible treatment options. bodyOffer(5080) Munchausen syndrome by proxy, however, is a far more dangerous form of hypochondria where the afflicted person purposely inflicts harm on another person, usually his/her own child, in order to gain attention from those in the medical profession. Children have been severely deformed, if not killed, because of this disorder.
