Update on: Instagram Will Catch You

[ Edited ]

My friend's 20 something daughter had to go to the ER the other day because she felt dizzy and had headaches after a vacation she took with her friends at Lake Tahoe.   Same thing happened earlier this summer after a trip to CA.

 

She was telling me they had her sent to specialists for MRI testing for neuro issues, did tons of blood work and tried to get her into Mayo Clinic.  Her mom was telling me how her and her husband were beside themselves with worry and stress over her issues.  She took time off her new job to deal with these health issues.

 

This daughter loves to post on Instagram, usually at a bar with a drink in her hand.   So, she had these health issues since Wed of last week and lo and behold, on her Instagram page today she posted pictures of herself at a bar on Sat, sipping a cocktail, dressed... let me say, hardly dressed enjoying herself.

 

Not sure if her parents look at her Instagram page but she's sure a lot better in a few short days.   My other friend told me to go on her page and I was really surprised.  Be careful posting pictures of yourself on Instagram. They aren't private.  LOL.  I think her health issues may have more to do with her excessive drinking than anything else.  And if it's something else, drinking isn't the best solution until you have answers.

 

Oh well, some of these young kids just want to be seen partying.  Hope her new employer didn't see it.

You can private your account on IG so no one can see you except your followers. Sounds like she needs to with all the looky loos.

She definitely enjoys people looking at her as she poses for her photos. 

 

Some of these people forget these pictures are out there forever. They will follow you.

So what was the diagnosis?

Posing? Exhibiting?  This girl would fit in perfectly as a QVC host.  Can she jabber?

No idea.  She hasn't had the MRI yet and she just had blood drawn on Thurs.  That's why it's so odd.  Wouldn't you rather wait for results, especially when your parents rushed to get her into these specialists before partying and drinking?   Her parents were beside themselves with worry.

Probably dehydration from partying.

on a side note......

remember that not everyone that sits at a bar is having an alcoholic drink.

also, the photo may not necessarily have been from the same day she posted it.

 

i often post photos that are a week old......sometimes longer.

 

and yes, you can make your instagram account private by changing the settings.

She dated it and listed the name of the nightclub she was at.  I would feel better if she didn't party with medical issues, but doesn't look like it.

 

I even mentioned to her mom that she seems to get sick after her vacations.   There are issues that can erupt from binge drinking and coming down from it.  I would say 95% of her Instagram photos are of her partying with alcohol in some fashion.  I can only give her mom my thoughts, but not sure I can tell her about her photos.  I would think her mom would see them, but who knows.
