was a kid she was fed through a tube but never actually needed one the person with the illness was never gypsy rose it was her mother dede who made up all these disorders and lied to her own daughter her entire life it started when she was an infant spending time in a neonatal intensive care unit at eight years old she fell off her grandfather's motorcycle and injured her knee although it was nothing serious dede forced her to stay in a wheelchair so it wouldn't get worse it wasn't until they moved to missouri that neurologist dr flasterstein realized that she doesn't have muscular dystrophy and he suspected gypsy rose was the victim of munchausen syndrome by proxy her mother was making up everything and put her own daughter through so much pain when she was actually healthy her teeth were rotting from the anti-seizure medication and when he confronted her about past medical records dede said all the documents were destroyed alongside their old home during hurricane katrina
