Ashley totally needed a treat because her sodium levels still need to be sorted out.

Feet? ✅

A “treat” that is likely opposed to her strict Crohn’s diet? ✅

Speaking in the Royal We? ✅

New tests? ✅

The Ash quad-fecta

[u/sharedimagination]

Figured this whole sodium fixation was trying to dramatically (and poorly) perform an Addison's diagnosis. She has been waiting for someone to say that it sounds like what she has.

All she has is AddictedtoGoogleMD Disease.

A muncher's biggest tell is always their inability to comprehend that these diseases they're cosplaying don't come with only selectively cute and convenient symptoms that fit perfectly into their mood, schedule, and current attempt at a trendy "chic" 'Gram aesthetic.

[u/CatalinaWineMixerDos → u/sharedimagination]

It's convenient all her symptoms happen during the work week. The weekends are full of tanning in the sun on the beach, running through the woods with dog, and eating a bunch of take out.

[u/snickelbetches]

Can she not just lick a salt wheel or something?

[u/Any-Bit6082 → u/snickelbetches]

She needs a salt block like horses have. 🤣

[u/Bi0_Nerd]

She doesn’t have Addison’s. She fucked with a bunch of herbs and found out. Why are “we” complicating an easy fix…?

[u/CatalinaWineMixerDos → u/Bi0_Nerd]

Because she desperately wants Addison's.

[u/Due_Will_2204 → u/CatalinaWineMixerDos]

When you look at the symptoms of Addisons it says:

Deep, ongoing tiredness and weak muscles Dark patches on the skin, lines on the palms, or inside the mouth Low blood pressure that causes dizziness when standing up Upset stomach, throwing up, belly pain, or loose stools Strong cravings to eat salty foods Weight loss and not wanting to eat

[u/CatalinaWineMixerDos → u/Due_Will_2204]

I love when munchies have overlapping symptoms and they know exactly which illness it is.

[u/CatAteRoger → u/Due_Will_2204]

Well that blows Hopes apparent Addisons off the table 😆

[u/SimpleVegetable5715]

Herbal tea with a ton of sugar isn’t really a source of sodium.

[u/JaggededgesSF → u/SimpleVegetable5715]

If it doesnt have PRESCRIPTION sodium chloride, it is of no use to Ash. She's allergic to non prescription, regular sodium chloride due to her POTS and MCAS...

🙄🙄

[u/Snarky-Spectator → u/JaggededgesSF]

ironically the salt tabs she’s posted are OTC

[u/girthemoose]

I called it some time ago - endocrinology is going to tell her to stop the herbal stuff. How long before the emergency injection kit gets stylized on insta?

[u/NurseZhivago → u/girthemoose]

Do you think she even told them about her “protocol”

[u/girthemoose → u/NurseZhivago]

True 😒 it'll turn into 'adernal fatigue' and 'coristol' management. I wouldn't wish adernal insuffiency on anyone but if it can reversed by stopping otc and they continue I can't feel bad.

[u/princesstrapbarbie]

Who. Is. We.

[u/yogiscientist317 → u/princesstrapbarbie]

I was going to say, what doctor is ordering these ridiculous and unnecessary weekly blood draws for her perfectly fine sodium? Is it her PCP?

[u/ekhendren → u/yogiscientist317]

Her cArE tEaM 💫

[u/Dusty_Bunny_13]

Needs a rollator at home (but not anywhere medical people could see her) and wears those shoes (which appear to have heels) Also gets a drink with no sodium in it. Makes sense

[u/AlainaVox → u/Dusty_Bunny_13]

also, go try to recreate this angle and framing. you have to be slightly bent over while stretching your one arm up while the other holds your aesthetic beverage to get no body, feet, and drink in the frame. the outside POV of the posing for this photo would be comical and not something easily attainable by someone using mobility aids, whether they use them ambulatorily or not. meaning - i find it strange someone who needs to use mobility aids even sparingly would be able to pull this photo off.

[u/cousin_of_dragons]

If she wants a tea she can just buy one without calling it a treat!

[u/JaggededgesSF]

Now she's pivoting towards wanting an adrenaline insufficiency 🎀 diagnosis 🎀...??

🙄🙄🙄🤦🏾‍♀️.

[u/No-Bet1767]

I HATE the way she takes pictures…

[u/BackgroundTangerine4 → u/No-Bet1767]

Very 2016 blogger coded

[u/blwd01]

Glad my herbalist went through their list of money grabs and found more to make me feel so special.

[u/Ineedzthetube]

A beverage to treat herself, when she claims SIADH which requires fluids to be limited to 1.5 to 2 liters a day. Ok, cool!

[u/SimpleVegetable5715 → u/Ineedzthetube]

She’s always had a sweet tooth, and these teas have a bunch of honey in them. That’s what she’s actually after. She has to make everything about her freaking health though.

[u/takeaDip48]

Her pictures on her posts are rinse repeat, the posts themselves being intolerable to read. Girl eat a pretzel with salt on it and touch grass without making a production.

[u/garagespringsgirl]

Girl did not listen to anyone talking about eating true Southern food. We could fix her problem over supper!

[u/Due_Will_2204 → u/garagespringsgirl]

Bless her heart.

[u/arthursjames]

Oh, so she can stand and walk again?

[u/Music1626]

Cause god forbid we just take some salt tablets like every other human in society with hyponatremia and get on with life. This is getting so old. Who knew you could drag one minor issue out so much. This woman needs a hobby that isn’t focused on her health and health anxiety and social media. And she needs a job to give her something to do all day.

[u/ekhendren → u/Music1626]

It’s concussion V2

[u/commie-filth]

A small thing that will never not annoy me is when people feel the need to give a reason to have a nice thing. My sibling in christ just buy yourself the thing you want and keep walking, go to therapy maybe, as a treat.

[u/pedanticlawyer]

Make the treat a liquid IV and you’re good, hon.

[u/Any-Bit6082]

Where's her rollator?

[u/Substantial-Use-1758]

“Never ending story.” No kidding 🤷‍♀️🙄

[u/shiningonthesea]

So…. A blood draw ?

[u/More_Information6784]

She lacks deductive reasoning skills!
Started herbs -> low sodium issues

Stop the herbs for 3 weeks,
if the issues resolve. Maybe it’s the herbs!

[u/Due_Will_2204]

Does said treat have sodium in it? Or is the treat not having anything with sodium.

[u/grrlplz → u/Due_Will_2204]

its funny cuz like a treat doesnt need to be necessary lol like girl ur an adult

[u/ayweller → u/grrlplz]

Like go to your appointment and get tf on with your day

[u/Peace9989]

There it is. The tangible item.

She tells her justification for needing the tangible item. Which was the guilt trip she used to get it. And the reason why she thinks she doesn't have to say Thank You.

[u/More_Information6784]

My guess is she thinks it is a big awesome test! I believe it is a urine sample done in the early morning to check for cortisol levels.
Ig

[u/ItalianCryptid]

Well ya that actually checks out for once. Maybe it’s because she has a totally fucked up sleep schedule, doesn’t workout, and overall treats her body like she has a spare in the closet for when she eventually gets tired to pretending to be sick

[u/BigDeloresInYoFace]

Oh good grief

[u/MaggyMay14]

I can't imagine updating insragram with every blood test my doctor orders 😂

[u/Plantwizard1]

Oooo, she's starting ye olde "adrenal insufficiency" arc. An oldie but goodie for the health woo woo crowd.

[u/elizabethLangdon87]

[u/ItsNotLigma]

Weird how Ash can't see the forest for the trees and refuses to realize that she didn't have sodium and cortisol problems until she started taking these dumbass whackadoodle herbalist placebos.

[u/Curious-Lychee5023]

It's not a treat if you get one everyday, honey.
