She shared an update on Thursday morning to tell her 455K followers she wasn’t feeling any better.

Abbie Chatfield was in hospital this week after suffering from a severe migraine.

“The medicine basically sedated me and it seemed to work until I woke up this morning with the same amount of pain,” wrote Chatfield, who recently hosted the BINGE dating series FBoy Island Australia.

“Day three of migraine. P.S. Feet in hot water didn’t do anything lmao, but worth a try for anyone with a less severe migraine!”

She says medication has not helped ease her migraine.

During her stay, the former reality TV star realised she had a “genuine addiction to work” and she needed to reassess or she would completely burn out.

“I’ve been absolutely depleted and burnt out by the start of this year for a number of reasons,” she revealed at the time on her podcast It’s A Lot.

“But I’ve been here for about five days and I think I’ve realised that my priorities need to shift a bit, to be honest, I’ve taken on so many jobs and so many roles.”

Cutting back on her work commitments, Chatfield quit her radio showHot Nights with Abbie Chatfield in mid-August.

Chatfield recently quit her radio job amid feeling burnt out.

“I’m really happy with my decision and super proud of myself for letting this role go,” she wrote in a statement shared on Instagram.

“I simply need to put my energy into projects that bring me joy and that energise me, rather than draining me.”

She said she was looking forward to spending more time with friends and family, as well as focusing on her host of opportunities elsewhere.

“It’s also time to give someone else a go who would enjoy and appreciate the opportunity more than myself. I have so much on, and daily radio takes up so much time. I simply wasn’t enjoying myself day to day in that environment,” she added.

“This was my decision entirely, and I’m so glad I made it.”
