You should! It’s so peaceful and the scenery is beautiful. Thank you for watching 😊

They are, now 15 and 11 and bedrooms redecorated again 😂 growing up too fast! X

The pain I had just before my emergency surgery was lower right side, that’s why they thought it may have been appendix but I believe it was just above, I had a blockage at the ilium which is what they ended up removing, which caused me to have bile acid malabsorption. I’m just fed up now, Im too tired to keep going back to the doctors so unless things get extremely bad I’m just going to end up putting up with it. I don’t really want to go on tablets for fibro as the side effects don’t sound pleasant. I’ve definitely lost trust in doctors, hopefully one day I will find a doctor who will really listen to me. Was told I was being referred to dermatologist, for the itching, months ago and still no news and now I’m beginning to think she forgot to refer me 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

@@AlisonFoxall your surgery sounds like it needs a boot up the bum! Don't ever feel bad for chasing up results or appointments etc, you pay for your care through your taxes and you have to be your own advocate. X

@@AlisonFoxall I'm 6 years into chronic illness and Iv had my eyes opened but now I don't care what the receptionist, nurses, GPS etc think of me, if I need help, advice etc I'm on the phone. Lol x

@@AlisonFoxall my pain is my right down into my groin area and up into my right side. I had a gall stone and kidney scan and it's not that. The pain can be very severe then the toilets are awful and it's making me more housebound, I don't know what to eat as I have little appetite with nausea. I had more bloods taken on Monday but the celiac ones aren't back. X

I really hope you get sorted soon, sometimes just getting a diagnosis gives you a sense of relief but when no diagnosis it’s really does get frustrating xx

I’m so sorry that you have yet to be diagnosed and that they seem to be blaming you for what you are going through, the only advise I can provide is to keep going to the doctor, or even a different doctor and hopefully you will find one that actually listens to you 😢 💕

I’m so sorry to hear you had such a bad experience with your hairdressers. Glad you enjoyed my video though xxx

Thank you, we didn’t have a rubber mat when we had no electric shower, and the itching was worse then, now we have a shower with a mat it’s not too bad as long as I keep my legs out of the water most of the time. You are right though I was worried about lymphoma as I had read itching was a symptom xx

Unfortunately i cant eat fatty meats with Crohn's disease, as it will cause my pain and diarrhoea. My eyes have always been more pronounced, its in our family genes and my Thyroid has been tested numerous times and all shown as normal. Thank you for your comment though.

Thank you for your comment! We didn’t use any other awning on the sunseeker caravan but for our van that has a very similar awning rail we use the euro camp as a sun canopy when we went to Scotland this summer and it was really good, it may just fit the sunseeker too but you would have to check the measurements 😊 you can see the look of it on our Scotland vlogs if you want to get an idea of it. Hope that helps

I never have a really hot shower, but I do know what you mean, sometimes when I sweat the itching is there too, it’s not as bad as it used to be but it catches me off guard as some day’s I’ll be ok but then bam it’s back again for no reason. When I saw my rheumatologist a couple years ago he did say the medication for my bile salt malabsorption can cause itching but he didn’t really go into detail. But I can’t really come off it because I need it to function and have a life 🤔 so I don’t know why it’s happening really

It was fab! All the beaches allowed dogs and they were loving it 😊

i'm so sorry to hear this, its such a shame that we have to wait and wait to get anywhere, i know we are lucky to have the NHS and with covid etc there are long waits but we are the ones who have to suffer longer because the little tests they do show nothing wrong with us, making us out to be making it all up. i would definitely try and chase that colonscopy, it should pick anything up that could be missed by blood tests, hopefully you will be able to get in soon and finally have a diagnosis or at least further along then you are at the moment. we shouldnt have to suffer in silence 😞

Oh Jesus such dire moments for you. #carnivoreCure #reindeerherdsman #MetabolicHealthSummit

I’m doing well, I’ll do an update video soon, the heatwave in the uk is tough and can cause me to have some major bloating and feeling sick but usually I’m ok

@@AlisonFoxallyes we are in Clevedon. We moved from Solihull in 2020.

@@AlisonFoxallplease make an update🙏

@@macgina8412 Thank you, I have some time over the next few weeks and i'll try and get something uploaded soon on an update 🙂

Thank you for your comment, currently doing a lot better… luckily no more surgery since my first surgery, still on the same medication, and since covid started I have put on weight which I’m told is a good thing and tummy not been too bad, I have my bad days, sure, but they do seem to be less, my consultant doesn’t seem worried so I have tried not to think so much about it, a lot more crazy stuff going on in the world at the moment. I’m not going to say that is been plain sailing as I’ve got anxiety now of getting covid because of the medication I’m on because of crohn’s, but it is what it is. 😊

@@AlisonFoxall im so happy that you are not on biologics, i hope your medecine keeps working for years to come, btw you said that you pay for all your medcine, i thought anssurance covers it :/

@@Knighttus in england we have to pay per NHS prescription, I’m not sure how much it is but I pay for a pre payment certificate which is just over £10 a month which covers any medication I need, not just crohn’s medication. It also covers my bile salts malabsorption medication, it’s only worth paying the £10 a month though if you get at least 2 prescriptions a month so I try and make sure I order at least 2 items. I wanted them to put vitamin d on my prescriptions as it costs a lot at my local heal store but they wouldn’t as my vit d was in range, of course it is because I take supplements 😂 it’s a shame that it’s not free as my husbands diabetes which is also a lifelong autoimmune condition gets his insulin for free… my bile salts malabsorption is with me for life now due to the surgery they did and I have to pay for my medication that gives me a normal life. Annoying really. I really hope my azathioprine continues to do what it needs, been on it for 10years now 🤞🤞 and that I don’t need anymore medication, otherwise I’ll start to rattle soon 😂

@@AlisonFoxall 💪it will keep working, thanks for the clarifications, i hope my medecine would work for that long, btw are following a diet?

@@Knighttus in the beginning I eliminated my trigger foods but then I realised that it was so random that I introduced those foods back in and found they weren’t actually triggers at all, it could be if I’m stressed or anxious or even alcohol but if I think it might make me feel off, I try to enjoy certain foods on days where I don’t have much planned, the pain sometimes isn’t worth it but sometimes I just overindulge and accept the consequences. I am very lucky and I know that as some people have it much worse them me x

We ran a cold water pipe from our kitchen down the garden, into a trench so the pipe is under ground now, into the cabin, it was then plumbed into the water heater and then plumbed into the shampoo bowl, done by a professional plumber. Hope this helps

@@AlisonFoxall what about for water drainage? Do you use like a grey water system or just had it plumbed into the sewer/septic

@@tyemcgowan783 we have a waste pipe coming from the sink to the outside and then the waste water goes into a drain outside the side of the cabin, that drain is then plumped right into our main sewer at the other end of the garden, we put the waste pipe in the trench we dug for the pipe to bring the water supply into the cabin, so its all underground and not visable, i hope this make sense, as i wouldn't be able to show you as you cant see it anymore :-)

It’s 4 meters by 3 meters, and height is around 2-2.5meters I believe. We’ve had it for 6 years now so it’s difficult to remember exactly 😊

Thank you for the advice, I managed to get unlimited internet on my phone from EE for an extra £10 a month onto my original contract, a special offer they were having. So I have that now but we haven’t been anywhere at the moment with terrible signal. So I’ll definitely look into that for when we are completely off grid 😀 New videos coming soon! 😀

Yes this is the ones that came with it the eurovent awning, they do specific bedroom annexe that can zip in but quite expensive so we got the outdoor revolution one and it’s awesome! So much so we bought a second one to put the porta loo in so we don’t have to keep going outside to the toilet tent! We didn’t buy brand new freedom, we got a 2017 caravan and the awning came with it. So much more room now we don’t have a bedroom taking up half of the awning

Richard Harrison hey Richard yes we had an inner tent in the awning for my 11yr old, but we have actually bought a universal bedroom annexxe now to attach to the side of the awning and hoping both the kids will sleep in there now, otherwise Myself (Alison) and my 7yr old sleeps in the double and hubby sleeps in the single... I’m hoping to get a video up of the new set up soon, keep an eye out 😊

The Foxall Family Thanks for the reply, I’ve subscribed and will look forward to the next video. We have a 10 and 15 yr old so the older one would prob sleep in the tent to start with. Is the awning easy to set up?

Richard Harrison we do have a time lapse of putting the eurovent awning up it takes 20mins and fairly easy once all poles are labelled correctly 😊 will get that video up for you too we are using the annexxe this weekend so hopefully can do a double video with that in it 😊

clownstyle thanks Tim! Yes it a nightmare remembering to record and then editing so not done one for a while but really want to get out little holiday recorded for memories really. I still need to do the thumbnail for this and sort the description haha

andtastic1 we love Bewdley been a few times now and prob go plenty more times to in the future. We love walking into Bewdley with the dogs from the site we stay on and browsing the shops 😊

@@AlisonFoxall lovely town, born there but moved away at a young age. Always have a special feeling for Bewdley.

andtastic1 we are loving ours, out again in it soon and go to Scotland doing a road trip in the summer I’m so excited 😊

Pootling along we’ve wanted one for 3 yrs, it may be small but I love it 😊 we’ve already enjoyed numerous adventures already 😊

Brandi Chappell as far as I’m aware it was a mass, scar tissue had narrowed my intestine and nothing could get through properly

@@asfoxall I'm currently going through the diagnosis process, haven't had a scope done. But I have lumps in the same area as well as abdominal pain. Though my blood work is normal. Thanks for posting your video, gives me a sense of comfort knowing someone has similar symptoms.

All my bloods were normal too. Get a scope done ASAP! It’s the only way they will pick something up unless you end up having emergency surgery and I would wish that on anyone! If no scope try and get at least the MRI done xx

Wouldn’t **

My son has 55 years old ! When 18 2as complained of everything you mention,got all kinds of tests doctor deci🎉to operated the apendice,appendices, it out,but was not.going further in 2019 had to make an huge operation to take scars that were Making the food stooped in the colon...almost lost his life because they left an open hole and it did cause a huge infection in the blood ...he was 52 than ,now 55 butsuffering the consequences of having a stoma for 5 months ,during covid,and developed an huge hernia and had to have another surgery,in with they implanted a kind of a screen to keep things together...it has been 3 years an# things are okei,I guess😢sorry for the huge rant.😅

Hello K 8, i'm so sorry i havent replied to this, it didnt notify me you had made a comment, i am on the crohns and colitis facebook group and tried to find groups associated with BAM as it seems to be very common for us with this disease, i'm on Instagram at alisonsfoxall if you ever fancy a chat send me a direct message :-)

sorry for late reply, the cabin is 4metres by 3metres, it is no longer set up as a hair salon anymore but we have turned it into a chill our/cinema/craft room, these cabins can be used for so many things :-)

:-)

Erica Terry thank you! Got another tree to do in my salon hoping to film that one too 😂

Erica Terry fab hun I will go and support your channel too 😊

Carissa Hendricks if you didn’t go to emergency room, the next time go, all the admissions will show the docs something is seriously wrong, plus if it’s a bowel obstruction you don’t want it bursting and poisoning your body, hope the docs can do something for you

@@AlisonFoxall thankyou. I havent gone to the emergency room. My family is extremely concerned but they think i might've picked up a virus ontop of everything, but I honestly have no clue, all I know is Im still feeling awful pain and nausea and weakness even after trying a number of medications. Not to mention its 4am here and I can't sleep. But I have a doctors appointment in 4 or 5 hours so hopefully ill be ok till then. Last time I went to the dr. They sent me straight to the ER. May happen again im not sure

My mother has a virus but the meds also work for her. I dont know if my body is just not working properly right now or is weak and that's why meds dont work or idk if there's an extremely serious thing going on. I stayed in bed all afternoon and evening and only tried to eat the smallist bit of mashed potatoes and gravy that made me feel worse rather than better

They will possibly will send you to the ER, I hope you get some answers soon xx

@@AlisonFoxall okay. Thankyou, sorry for taking some of your time

Carissa Hendricks bloodwork will not show inflammation until it’s really bad, ask for a colonoscopy it is the only definite way to get a diagnosis, keep fighting and do not stop until you get some physical evidence everything is fine or there is definitely something that needs to be treated! That’s what I tell everyone. I know a lot of people are fobbed off, but with those symptoms you need to have the colonoscopy to rule anything else out, that is my only regret, I should have fought harder to have more tests. Good luck xx

@@AlisonFoxall alright. Thanks!

Carissa Hendricks what where you diagnosed with?

Hello Chrissi, i'm so sorry for the late reply, i'm hoping to be more active on this youtube channel now, it definitely sounds like you sound be on at the doctors for more tests, if you havent done so already, i know with the pandemic at the moment it is easy to be over looked or even scared to ask for more, i've finally had a rheumatology apt that i should have had 2 years ago, i've been diagnosed with joint hyper mobility, not related to crohns, and got told to do Pilates, and maybe have some magnesium for my leg cramps i have started getting every night, which stops me from sleeping :-( I really hope you have found the cause of these symptoms for you now.

What ended up being your diagnosis?

How are you now?
