Former EastEnders star Melissa Suffield opens up about her ongoing health battle, detailing the numerous GP appointments and financial strain caused by her condition. She expresses her belief that her weight loss has paradoxically made her a greater burden on the NHS, challenging societal perceptions of weight and health.
Former Lucy Beale actress Melissa Suffield has shared how she had around 40 GP appointments last year and feels she's a burden on the NHS . Fighting for a diagnosis after experiencing 'horrible nausea', Melissa has felt nauseous 'ever since' and has spent an eye-watering amount of money on prescriptions. Melissa also believes that she's a bigger burden on the NHS now, after having lost weight due to her health condition, compared to when she was bigger before her SIBO diagnosis.
'I am now currently more of a burden on the NHS than I was when I was bigger last year. That is a fact. That is a pure fact,' she told us in an exclusive interview,'I've been requesting tests left, right, and centre. I'm almost at 40 GP visits just this year.' She then added how she has spent more than five figures and an 'obscene amount of money on prescriptions' adding: 'I am a bigger burden on the NHS in my smaller body, with my perfect BMI.'

'What it has helped me do is prove the point that I've always, always made, which is that you cannot define how healthy someone is, by how much they weigh, or how fat you think they look or whatever it is that you think you know,' the former Lucy Beale star told us.'We say, 'oh, you know fat people, they're a burden. Blah! Blah!' It's not true. It's just not true,' she urged. This comes as Melissa continues to make a name for herself in the influencing world, with her having just recently signed with a talent agency. Known for creating body-positive content on her Instagram page, Melissa often promotes self-love by rocking lingerie and styling clothing to give her followers inspiratio
