A Christmas shop vlog/turned hospital/health update??? This vlog took a drastic turn.. 😅 

James is the real MVP, his quick thinking and support is so commendable, especially considering how difficult you find the process of needles and how you felt in general! Incredibly relieved to hear that you're on the mend now, PLEASE take the time to rest up and recharge girl! Sending you lots of love and strength❤

The whole ‘feel like I’m dying’ is actually a symptom of a blood infection. They call it a sense of impending doom and is a genuine symptom. Glad you’re feeling better xx

‘C-protein’ test is your CRP, or C-reactive protein. It’s used in conjunction with your white blood cells to measure the level of infection in your system. The higher the number, the more inflammation you have in your system. With both being high, it’s indicative of pneumonia or septicemia (among other things), which is a blood infection. I’m glad James made the call, and that you were seen, because that can get incredibly serious, incredibly fast.

It's crazy how someone can be living a healthy lifestyle and suddenly get a bad infection days away from sepsis! I was crying a little bit when you were talking about how scared you were of the needles and stuff. I have a huge phobia of hospitals. So glad to hear you're okay 💓

Please don’t think that your illness and feelings were not valid just because there might be someone else in a worse situation then you. I’m so glad you are much better now and that you are on the road to recovery.

i just want to say that no matter what is going on in the world, you're allowed to feel your feelings. everyone is struggling in any part of the world. im glad that you're doing so much better. 🖤

I had sepsis almost 3 years ago so I am a massive advocate for anybody who has had sepsis who has had “systemic inflammatory response syndrome” which is the first stage of sepsis because it sirs then sepsis, severe sepsis, then septic shock. And sepsis education is a massive thing for me and I do a lot of education on it. I teach health care professionals about sepsis and it’s aftermath

Imagine if she had left it, and it got to the point of potentially being fatal. That's insane. Sending love to you Soph

I had the same experience with tonsillitis and it also got missed and I didn't get help.. I was still working as they said it was probably just a mild throat infection.. I worked on a perfume counter and it was Christmas.. So the fumes from that mixed with throat infection made it ten times worse.. I didn't get it checked again until about three days later and I was rushed in with similar symptoms to you but my throat had nearly closed up. I then reacted to the antibiotics they gave me. I was off work sick for about 5 months and had a shockingly bad immune system for at least a year.. I also had 72 ulcers in my mouth at one time and the doctor said he'd never seen anything like it but its because I was so run down. I remember saying to my dad that I don't know how I'm going to keep going.. I have a fairly low immune system anyway so it totally wiped me out and I honestly didn't know if I was gonna be able to carry on. Now I'm a lot more aware of my health needs.. I really hope you feel better soon xx

The "21 weeks pregnant" and "You've got the wrong Sophie" part had me laughing so hard 💜. I'm happy you're alright. I also have issues with needles and I have a scar where I had an IV (what you call a Cannula). I've had one a couple other times and it's been fine. I have lupus and sometimes huge flares will give me seized muscles or severe migraines that can land me in the hospital. It sucks but it's worse that I can't have my mom with me because of COVID regulations (I know this sounds silly but I miss information and slur quite a bit when I'm flaring. It can be super dangerous because I have a couple severe allergies.).

Tonsillitis is honestly no joke, I’m glad you’re starting to feel better

I saw your hospital scare/ update on socials. Please please take time for yourself and don't pressure yourself or feel guilty for taking the time to look after yourself. We'll be here whenever you're feeling 100%. I love your videos❤ wishing you all the best going onwards🌟

So grateful to hear that you're doing better. Loved getting to see your face during James' stream, the pikachu mask is definitely a look. And I totally agree with bringing back Uggs as a fashion statement because they're so warm and comfy!

Really sorry about the nurse who didn’t introduce herself or let you know what she was doing - but glad most of the care you received was really good ❤️ and so glad you’re on the mend x

Glad to hear you’re on the mend! I’m sure that was quite a scary experience, and so thankful you went to the hospital when you did. Hoping you feel all better soon. ♥️♥️

Don’t rush to film!!! I think we all understand and are wishing you a good recovery. Also, don’t get discouraged if your not getting better as quickly as you would like to. You’ll get there soon!!Sending love and prayers❤️🙏

Really feel for you here. The exact same day you were admitted to hospital, so was I! I had an asthma attack as a result of a nasty chest infection and spent 3 nights in hospital! It really quite frightened me and I don't have a phobia of needles or hospitals like you do. I too was fobbed off by a doctor who wrongly told me I was being dramatic and only had a virus. Glad you are feeling so much better, I'm finally back at home too, so am very happy now 😊 sending all my love xx

I'm just so relieved you're okay! This story was so scary to hear, you just never know when something serious can happen to you.. Thank you for sharing, I'm sure this might help some ppl in similiar situations!

I’m glad James made that call sounds so serious and glad your on the mend and hopefully back to your self very soon ❤️

ahhh soph i'm so glad that everything is going upwards now, your experience sounds so scary. you're so strong for getting through this all, and james is so amazing for being so supportive too. please don't feel the need to create any content until you're feeling really up to it - health always comes first xx

Oh Soph… this breaks my heart. So glad that you ended up getting help. James is a great guy, taking care of you and staying by your side. So happy that you have each other. Take care of yourself sweetie ❤️

I am so so *so* glad that James convinced you to call 111 and go to the hospital - I once didn't go to the hospital when I should have and so am now disabled for the rest of my life, it was the biggest mistake of my life. And I am glad you are doing better. Take all the time you need to get better. You and your heath come first! Love you, Soph! 💜💜💜

Oh my God, Soph, I've been thinking of you so much- you have gone through such a horrific experience! I am so so glad that James got you help!... Please don't think about filming right now- we are still going to be here for you no matter what! ❤️ Thank you for making this video. ❤️ I hope you're feeling better today. 🌸 I miss you and you are in my prayers. 🤗🤗🤗💕💕💕

James was in it he is so attentive to Soph their relationship is so sweet.. So glad your doing better Soph, I got strep throat in 2004 and didnt know it bc no sore throat it went through my body and blood stream and wow I still have health issues bc of it.. I still have my tonsils knock on wood they haven't bothered me since I was a child, I used to get tonsillitis several times a yr when I was a kid.. Please take your health serious I know needles are scary and tests can be scary hospitals suck esp w pandemic but they are all here to help.. Glad your feeling better, stay hydrated finish all prescribed medicine.. much love to you, James, and Pinkie💜💙

So glad you’re back on the mend! Sepsis is such a scary thing so glad it didn’t come to that! Rest up and look forward to seeing you back to your usual self soon ❤️😊

can't imagine how scary this use have been soph, sending all my love and hope you start feeling yourself soon, you were so so brave to have a canular ! you're helping me so much with my phobia of sick xxxxxx

Glad you're getting better. It's so interesting to hear your experience because I live in the US and I work in a medical field and it's so different. Definitely shows some positives and negatives of both our health systems. Hope you get back to 100% asap!

So sorry to hear how poorly you have been . I have had that I feel I am dying thing twice it s terrifying. I ended up in hospital both times . Well done to James for recognising how I’ll you were x

Geebus woman this sounds absolutely horrific! So sorry you’ve been through this. Glad you’re feeling better! So so glad James made the decision to just call!

So so glad you caught it early. Keep a very close eye on any infection in future ie kidney, tooth ect. Once you have sepsis I've heard you're more susceptible than a person who hasn't. I'm glad you're doing better!!

I feel so glad, that you feel good now! ❤️ (I had tonsillitis over 20 times in my life, so I literally can feel your pain.)

How odd I too had tonsillitis this last 2 weeks and also ended up in hospital, so lucky you could have James with you, you still have to go alone in Wales. So glad you're feeling better Soph, so lucky you caught this just in time. Stay rested ❤️

What a scary thing to go through, I’m so glad James was there to get you help. I’m glad your starting to feel better. Sending healing vibes for you to be all better soon. ❤️

Not going to lie, this made me so emotional! For someone who hasn't had any real health issues (other than anxiety and whatnot), this a huge deal and honestly I was scared for you whilst you were telling the story. I am so sorry things got that scary for you, but I am so glad to hear you are doing better! So thankful for your partner and your families! Hang in there gal, and keep well xx

I had tonsillitis for the first time in my life a few weeks ago, and left it two weeks before doing anything about it because i didnt know what was wrong with me (just thought it was a sore throat). When I had a GP phone consultation, they gave me such strong antibiotics. I was taking 4 tablets a day! After hearing your story I'm glad I only waited 2 weeks. I could've had it a lot worse if I hadn't. Don't get me wrong, not eating properly was 2 weeks was a very bad choice, but im glad i did something about it eventually. Hope you get better soon x

Oh my god! Thank god you're alright! My grandma had an urinary tract infection and didn't want to go to hospital and when we finally did convince her to go, her c-reactive proteins were 280 and she had sings of sepsis and it was very scary at the time! Always, always go to the doctors if you're feeling really ill!

Hope everything continues to improve quickly! But also please rest, you work so hard and your body has been through a lot. On another note, I find a warm drink really helps sooth an annoying rough cough - speaking as someone with a lung condition, it can sometimes be the only thing that helps! But also water helps to thin down any mucus. Sleep tilted up if you can as well (just a few pillows, not upright!) Xx

so glad you are feeling better. you have a wonderful support group around you, not to mention we all support you and are glad you are on the mend.

Good to see you're doing much better soph. You are truly missed. Much love 💕

I ended up in hospital a few months ago and my CRP was 190-odd and I didn’t even feel or look ill 🤷🏼‍♀️ I had a temperature but that was it, yet I was diagnosed with Sepsis and Endocarditis (heart infection) really weird. I only went to hospital because of the temperature. I’m the same with cannulas, I’ve had probably hundreds in my life and I still never get used to it. Hope you’re feeling better soon, infections take a while to go, especially when they’re well established xxx

so glad your feeling better, sending lots of love and healing hugs. James is a real gem being there for you like that. 💗💗💗

Glad to hear you’re on the mend now. Tonsillitis seriously sucks, I’ve had it constantly so I know it’s horrible what your going through. Feel better soon 💞

Aww soph, I'm currently training to be a Paramedic and have had a similar experience myself with tonsillitis! You definitely did the right thing calling when you did, and James was amazing! Sounds like you have been so poorly, I'm so glad you're on the mend and feeling better! Rest up and take it easy until you're back to 100%, nothing is more important than self care💚💙

So happy you’re on the mend Soph! Physical and mental health are the most important things we have ❤️

CRP levels. That’s what I had literally the same situation like a couple of years back. It was awful!! Glad you’re recovering 💗

Oh hun. I've had quite a few emergency hospital visits over the years, and they never stop being scary. Especially when they're running loads of tests but don't yet have answers. I'm glad James made you go, and that they caught it before you got to sepsis. Hope you're feeling much better now, and I look forward to watching your videos again when you feel up to it.

So much going around as our immune systems are getting a shock for sure hope your feeling better 💜🤞🙂

The only time I had to stay in hospital was having my children and it is scary. I'm not even that squeamish with needles but I couldn't look at my cannula hanging out my arm so you're not alone Soph. So glad you caught it in time and are doing better. I will say that nurse just injecting you without talking to you amd telling you what they were giving you is really bad practice!

Hello Sophie ! I’m glad to hear you’re getting well ! I have an issue with Instagram so I didn’t have news from you, I was kinda of worried… when I was watching your video, I was really chocked of what you had to endure, you’re such a strong woman ! And that also kind of you to take the time to explain us what you have been through❤️ you have all my support and I hope you will soon be stronger than ever ! Rest well and take care !

So I'm definitely gonna be taking that viral respiratory infection I just got confirmed today seriously. I'm glad you're okay and that you got to the hospital when you did!

Oh you poor little thing ♥️ A CRP (C Reactive Protein - inflammatory marker) that high is scary so I’m so glad James called 111 when he did. I hope you feel better very soon but take it steady for the next couple of weeks and rebuild your strength slowly. I work in Acute Medicine for the NHS as a secretary so all the doctors I look after would be the same sort of team that cared for you. I’m so glad they took good care of you and you’re on the mend xx

I had sepsis a couple years ago and my veins reject any kind of needle so I had to have my canular re positioned in every place possible and I’m ok with needles etc but honestly it was the worst thing I’ve been through. Bless your heart, I know exactly how you felt and i hope you are doing better now ♥️

“You’re 21 weeks pregnant right?” *I didn’t know I was pregnant episodes flashes before eyes*

oh my gosh. i’m so glad you’re feeling better soph and i wish you a speedy full recovery ❤️

Bless you, I’m so sorry to hear you’ve been having such a rough time. Hospital can be really scary but the doctors and nurses we have are truly amazing. When I was pregnant I spent a lot of time in hospital because of HG where you are constantly sick and can’t keep anything down. I spent so much time on a iv drip with fluids and anti sickness and it never got any easier having the the cannula put in/taken out. I remember one nurse said to me when I was having it taken out “if you think this is bad wait til you have the baby” I was like “I’ve already had 1 baby” and she just looked at me confused. Would rather give birth than the feeling of having something pulled out the vein in my hand, it’s so gross!

Glad you're on the mend and you went to the hospital, I had to have sepsis treatment after my second child and didn't feel ill so I can't imagine how awful you must have felt, shame you had a rude nurse, you're entitled to know what is being pumped into your system and an introduction so you know who's caring for you x

For someone who hasn’t really been to hospital you did amazing soph. I used to be really bad with needles and would always faint and was always so scared. But once I went through my cancer treatment I now watch the nurse take my blood and I’ve been through so much pain. I’ve taught myself all pain is temporary. But I do still get triggered by going into hospitals. Love you soph I hope you feel better 💖

I am glad you feel better and healing. You can use underbed shoe organizers. It is helpful because see your shoes next to your bedroom closet. I had strep throat every age from the age 12 to 18. It felt like I was shallowing a rock. I could not swallow my own saliva. Ask for antibiotics! Always go back to the Dr. The best time to go to the ER is 2 am to 5 am.

I’m so sorry you had to go through that, it all sounds so horrible! I’m glad you’re on the mend now, and thank goodness you got help before things got any worse 💕 love you and your videos 😘 take all the time you need to recover x

I don’t usually comment on videos but I’m so glad you’re okay! You were incredibly lucky. My dad got a severe infection which turned into sepsis and he went into sepsis shock from a simple keyhole knee surgery. It all happens so fast and if I didn’t ring 111 (he didn’t want to go to hospital), he would’ve died. He was on a ventilator in the ICU for weeks and nearly died. He’s back home and recovering now luckily. Basically I’m so glad you caught it in time, sending all the love ❤️

I'm so thankful you're doing better. That is so scary I know. I had severe acute pancreatitis 16 months ago. I first thought I had ate something that was making me sick. I was throwing up blood by the time I got to the Hospital. I didn't know how bad I was either. A Gallstone had went to my Pancreas and cause it all. My Doctor told me he didn't know how I survived it. He told me he had a patient die a few years before that was in the same condition. I cried my eyes out when I left. No one in the Hospital told me how bad I was. Dear Sweet Sophie, take time to heal, don't do too much to fast. Love you, James and Pinky.

Hope you're feeling much better soon ❤ Get as much rest as you can even after you start to feel better. Thank god James phoned 111 when he did. Sepsis is so scary and can happen so quickly. My nan had an infection and in just a couple of days it had turned into sepsis and she passed away.

This was me at the end of September! I was orginally told it was viral sinusitis. Then it drastically got worse, i genuinely thought I was going to die! Eventually got antibiotics, however whatever it was I'm still suffering with as i had to have another load of antibiotics and steriods and i still feel pretty poop! Glad you're on the other side of it! X

I ended up really ill at the same time as you. It ended up being a chronic ear infection. So I'm now on antibiotics too. Hope you're all better soon 💕 xx

So glad you are feeling a bit better. Sepsis is very real and young people are well known for their bodies compensating for the infection for so long. The feeling like you are dying is actually a real thing and sets alarm bells off for any health professional. As a nurse slightly worrying that a nurse questioned why you were asking what the are giving you through an IV, would like to have thought she would have introduced herself and told you what she was giving checking you were the right patient and if you were allergic to penicillin. Take time for you 💜

Glad you are doing better. You have come so far in facing your fears. I have been watching since before you came to Florida and couldn’t get into the bars with your colleagues. Stay safe and healthy Soph!🍂😊

Aww so sorry to hear you have been so poorly. Im super prone to tonsillitis, get it most years at least once, and always on the lookout for quinces I think its called when I have it. So glad you have James and everyone looking after you, hope you feel better soon xx

Soph 😭 I'm so sorry you had to go through all this. Glad you're feeling better, hope you get well soon. Sending you lots of love soph❤️

hearing your story i was brought back to when i had tonsillitis a few months back. it eventually turned into a throat ulcer (idk how lol) and even an ear infection of all things, and yet, even though i was in terrible pain and could barely even swallow, let alone talk at this point, i literally waited it out. hearing what you had to say after your experience, i see now i definitely should have gone to the hospital and got some help. at least i know for next time, but fingers crossed there isn't a next time but it was one of the most painful experiences of my life. i'm glad you're doing better because i well and truly understand how scary and painful it would have been to go through. but take it from me, these things tend to come back quite often so please keep hydrating and resting as much as you can ❤️

111 are amazing! I have a very severe chronic illness & I find them a lot more willing to help than my GP. Glad to hear you’re on the mend , don’t rush it though, & absolutely let people look after you x

What a story! I’m so glad you’re on the mend. Big hugs Soph!

This is so scary! So so glad you’re on the mend. I sometimes think that it takes a big health scare to make you realise just how important health is! Hope you are feeling better and being kind to yourself ❤️

Wow! so glad you finally went to hospital and got yourself checked. Well done James! Absolutely, health is the most important thing, get well soon Soph keep resting so you can come back with your amazing refreshing energy ready to do fabulous makeup again. Virtual Hugs 🤗 xx

Glad you are feeling better Soph! As a nurse, I always advise to listen your body! Just some nurse-y advice, if you are still taking antibiotics by the time you read this, there is little point in taking probiotics at the same time, as the antibiotics strip most of them away (antibiotics target all types of bacteria, including the good bacteria in your gut), but take them after you finish them to help! I hope you don’t get sick again! 💕

Oh you poor thing. Can’t believe you went through all of that. I would have broken down big time. I’m so glad that you’re feeling much better than before Soph. Wish you a speedy recovery xx

my husband had sepsis but he wasnt like you he was very stubborn and would go to hospital until he was literally throwing up blood he ended up being admitted for two weeks this was 7 years ago hes now left with kidney disease and epilepsy ,glad you listen to james as sepsis aint nice at all xx get well soon xx

I am pleased you are on the mend, it can take a while for our bodies to heal after such a severe infection. Give it some time, rest and keep cosy and don't worry about work. We love you and want you to be better regardless of if that's a few days or a few weeks. I'm sending all the healing vibes and lots of virtual love and hugs. ❤❤❤❤❤ if you haven't been in hospital before it can be very scary but it's the best place if you need it. You should be very proud you got through it, I'm very proud of you. ❤

I had a chest infection from a severe cold, coughing up blood and everything. I ended up having antibiotics but was so unwell for 2 weeks. Apparently lots of people are having the same thing. I took 5 covid tests and they were all negative but I felt like death, glad I didn’t have to seek hospital help, get well soon soph❤️

Take it easy and rest as much as you need too! I’ve recently been to hospital as I had severe chest pains through anxiety and stress from work, I thought I should leave it I couldn’t get help to cover my shift that day and my boss wouldn’t let me leave but I eventually told him that I can’t I have to leave I physically couldn’t stay there I went straight to hospital got hooked up to heart monitors and all those things but the lovely staff assured me I’m all good I took a week off and feeling better! Long story short my job is destroying my mental and physical health so I’m leaving soon as I do not want to end up in hospital again

glad you are on the mend angel, get lots of rest and take it easy, thank you for sharing your story and raising awareness!!

So glad you’re on the mend Soph! Sending you lots of love 🤍 You have my full sympathy, I’m watching this with quite severe tonsillitis right now. Been taking antibiotics since yesterday but still waiting for them to have some effect. I know how much it zaps your energy, I’m still trying to chase round after my toddler whilst hoping I’m better for work on Thursday 😩 Fingers crossed you’re back to full health ASAP x

Uggs! Yes, please! Bring them back! So glad you're recovering. Sounds like you've had a really rough time. So sorry that you had to go through that.

So glad you are ok! Please don't feel ashamed of not appearing 'perfect' in front of the nhs workers when you were sick, in the end you are only human and no one should think less of you for that, their main concern is your health and wellbeing. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

James is genuinely a hero for making that call. Sepsis is so so so serious. Even four hours later could’ve been so much worse x

Hope your feeling better! I know how you feel ive had the flu 3 times in the past month

I'm so glad you got there in time and are doing better :) one of my friends lost her mum to sepsis when we were in high school it was devastating. She felt slightly sick on the Friday very sick like a bad flu on the Saturday and was gone by Sunday. Thankyou for sharing and encouraging people to get seen and not just tough it out. X

So sorry that you have been trough this. 😔 Hope that you will be healed pretty soon. I too, was really ill and just came back from hospital today. (Sorry if there is some misspelling, i'm portuguese, and English is my thirth language, that i learned anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️) Sending you lots of positive vibes your way, and lots of love. Kisses and hugs from Portugal 😘

I had tonsillitis last year at Uni before lockdown - apparently I had caught it early according to the doctor so she gave me 5 days worth of antibiotics, I have never felt so tired in my life!! The pain started in my ear, then my throat and it got worse throughout the day then I managed to get an appointment- I was honestly bed ridden and never felt so ill in my life, luckily it cleared in time for my 21st birthday but I can’t imagine how much worse it must have been for you, glad you’re better now ☺️

speaking as a needle phobic person who has had to have lots of needles (gall bladder issues/removal, 3 kids, life threatening infection after I had my middle child infection markers so high the machine couldn't read it oddly I felt fab) if you have to have another cannula ever ask for a pink or a blue as they are the smaller ones normally used on children it doesn't stop it hurting but it does help, also an anaesthetist doing it really helps too if its possible, hope you get back to 100% soon :-)

Glad you're ok! There has definitely been a lot of tonsillitis going around recently I had the bacterial one a couple of months ago and it was awful but not to the extent of yours so can't imagine how you must have been feeling !

I am so glad you are feeling better now! My mam was admitted to hospital in August and she had sepsis and pneumonia (think I spelt that right), she had two cardiac arrests and we almost lost her. Make sure to keep resting, can take months to fully recover after a serious infection.

I'm so glad you're on the mend Soph! My dad had sepsis last year so I understand how scary it is. I love you and always enjoy seeing your videos

I’m late but so sorry you had to go through this, but glad your recovered now! I feel your pain with blood tests, I’m supposed to have them yearly due to a health condition but I always put it off. It’s so hard to explain to people that don’t have a phobia of needles, but the anxiety it gives you is insane xx

I believe the phrase “I’ve never felt this ill” will set off alarm bells for doctors.

Hi Sophie, I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and on the mend ❤ As you said in your video it is really important to get your health checked if you feel really unwell. Here's my hospital horror story: About 3 months ago, me and my doctors thought I just had a normal water infection, so I bought over the counter medication but it didn't get better. I was in agony for days, couldn't sleep or eat, constantly throwing up. So I decided to call 111 and got sent to A&E. I had to wait over 10 hours to be seen but I eventually got diagnosed with a severe Kidney infection and my right kidney had shrunk over 50% in size. I have had issues with my kidneys most of my life, (mostly due to silly over doses as a teenager). So I was in hospital for 5 days on 2 different i.v drips, (fluids because I couldn't eat or keep food down and antibiotics for the infection). They did frequent blood tests and ultrasounds to make sure my kidney was going back to it's normal healthy size. I went home on the 5th day with an 8 day supply of the same antibiotics I had in hospital. But my kidneys still aren't 100% and I have to avoid alcohol and caffeine for 6 months after the infection. I don't know if my kidneys will ever get better due to the previous damage but I take better care of them now and drink plenty of water to keep them flush. Hospital's are very scary for anyone and for me this was the first time I was hospital for so long for something so severe, in the past it has just been a day or overnight. Please make sure to get medical attention if you really need it, don't leave things to get worse before seeking help, look after your body and mind. Sorry such a long comment, I just wanted to share my story with you. Peace and love ✌❤

So glad you are on the mend Soph, it really takes it out of your body so take it easy and rest when you can❤️. I have been ill with pleurisy after having a cough/cold and its agony so know exactly how you must be feeling! Sending hugs 🤗 😘 xx

You poor thing. You were so BRAVE…. especially all that needle stuff. I’m sure England is a party town for all the viruses and bacteria now that everyone’s together again. Please rest as much as your body needs. Thanks for the message..a lot of us minimize our health symptoms. ❤️

Thankfully James made the call ! Glad ur recovering hopefully, u feel much better soon xx

So glad you are on the mend

Oh my gosh Soph you might not feel like you are but it sounds like you were so so lucky James called 111 for you! I'm so glad you got help when you needed it 💖 and that it wasn't sepsis but it sounds like it was borderline! Keep yourself propped up at night with pillows to help with your coughing and breathing and just give yourself some well deserved TLC 💖 and please don't apologise for lack of content your health is the main priority, we'll all be waiting for you when you're better! Also if anyone is struggling to get hold of 111 at the moment as they are super busy you can go online for their assessment too! It will sort out the same help for you, but the advice you gave about how you were feeling is super important and thankyou for spreading awareness about things to look out for for your subscribers! As a student paramedic it was interesting to hear how you felt about the cannula being in your arm and how ill it made you feel as you hate needles... do you think if they bandaged it over and covered it then it would feel less scary/intimidating? Something I can be mindful of and consider for patients who don't like it in the future? xx
