This might be a bit of a long one and I’m sorry for that but I need to get it off my chest. The thing that annoys me so much about people like Charlotte (and she by no means is the only influencer like this) is that she just HAS to have a problem or a drama or a crisis. This woman had a few headaches and booked herself an emergency GP appointment to be seen to. She stated “we aren’t sure which one it is”, no Charlotte, you know exactly what it is. You’re being dramatic. Also there is no WE when you’re discussing your doctor trying to find a diagnosis for your dramatic illness, it’s them doing their job and you’re there to listen, take their advice and do what’s best for you. You don’t work alongside them, you don’t have any medical expertise so stop pretending to. I also dislike the phrasing of “I’m having to take paracetamol and ibuprofen together now” as if this is some big revelation? I do that monthly for my period because of the cramp, a lot of people need to take both, it’s nothing new and it doesn’t make you special. I believe last week was migraine awareness week, or perhaps the week before. Charlotte is EXACTLY the type of person to see this and think “that sounds like a nice bandwagon I can jump on”. As someone previously said, charlottes actions over the last 24hrs are not those of someone who has a migraine. You can’t look at your phone or open your eyes usually if it’s severe enough to need to see a GP as a matter of urgency. My sister-in-law has always suffered terribly from migraines, she’s vomiting at least once a week, bed ridden, she’s even had migraine-induced seizures they’ve been so brutal. Charlotte’s over here with headaches probably from the fact she drinks every day acting as if she’s got some sort of debilitating life limiting condition.
I am getting so ridiculously fed up with the influencer culture. Charlotte has a lovely house in a nice area, clearly plenty of money, a husband she claims she loves, three lovely children, and she still isn’t content unless 110% of everyone’s attention is directed towards her. And she knows that normal plain average Charlotte isn’t good enough to attract the undivided attention of millions of strangers so instead she goes for the over played “I’m not well” card for sympathy because any attention is good attention.
We know you read here. You’re playing with fire, and you are going to get burned. You are tempting fate with these ridiculous “diagnoses” and eventually when you really do have problems nobody will believe you. Also, as a nurse within the NHS, please stop wasting precious GP time. Next time, take the obvious painkillers before you start whining, or go to a pharmacy and get some stronger ones. And please, for the love of god, grow up and get a life.
You’ve said exactly what most want to say!!!!
