🐬 Fluyo Investor Interest Form: forms.gle/xFrntUfafXGCGtvHA 📹 Apply to be my co-host: forms.gle/tqDoomBxPUHhkrvY6 In this video I discuss my health situation, my language app Fluyo and why I'm looking for someone to take over my channel. (a small personal message below↓) Love all you guys, please support the new co-host if I find one. I will make sure they aren't lame, they'll be someone I'd want to watch and they'll be coached up by me and feature me in videos. I'll still make videos from time to time but very short ones (under 3 minutes) as little special suprises every now and then. Probably a few solo videos a year. A lot of videos where I'm featured. I might also try my hand at UA-cam shorts. Fluyo is going spectacularly, I'm legitmately using it daily to learn a secret language and I'd fight you if you tried to make me use another app. It has a ton of potential and should be coming out publicly to everyone in a few months. If you believe in the vision and want to support the team please consider filling out the investor form if that's something that interests you. Hopefully next video will be with new co-host or just me again talking about Fluyo release date. Healthwise I'm hanging in there, don't feel too bad for me, my TED talk one day will go hard. 🔥
I am so happy you are taking the time to heal at your own pace, I am thrilled to see your app taking leaps and bounds! I wish nothing but the best for you!
Hey Ikenna, do you want to improve your relationship with POTS? Search on a research engine "Healing Mind-Body Pain," on the site Medium, an article written by Manya Ronay
I bet if you called they would have given you an appointment. Germany hates emails for some reason, it's torture as an introvert...Had to call more than 10 doctors (or go there in person) before finding one that accepts new patients (yes, normal family doctors), I can't imagine how it is for special treatments. So it's not your fault, it would be difficult even if you speak perfect german!
I’m a pediatric resident doctor in Germany, and my chief at the hospital is one of the pioneers in Post-COVID Syndrome research. She is conducting extensive research on Post-COVID, collecting data, and playing a significant role in discovering new treatments and diagnostics for this condition by kids. I wish you a full recovery and lots of fun while learning German.
I have long covid and pots. I am now disabled. I empathize so much with you. Sending you so much hope for your journey and I hope you find something that helps. Looking forward to fluyo!
wishing you all the best dude, my mom has long covid too, has to go to the hospital 3 times a week because of the after-effects and doctors destroyed her vocal chords with oxygen tubes when she was in intensive care, she won't be able to speak properly ever again to anyone who's ill and/or suffering, i'm sending you big hugs
Same thing happened to my GF. She previously had episodes maybe twice a year but after having covid, she was having episodes/syncope 10 times a day for over a year straight. Very slowly did it get better and now only happens maybe twice a month.
Actually teared up watching a man with dreams & somehow the willpower to execute them, grip with his own health. I started following Ikenna back in 2019, just before I started learning german. Idk, I'm a lil at a loss for words, but his journey instills a certain inspiration within me, unironically an evident reminder of the power of the human mind. I'm in this perplexing fog in my current dysthymic mental health right now, and I wish I could tell him how much I needed to hear this from someone who had contended with the most daunting of odds. Unbedingt außergewöhnlich!!
If any of you guys care about this man's health please please wear a kn95 as often as possible. Long covid does not discriminate and this could be you or your loved one at any moment.
Ikenna-san, I always admire your strength, both as a creator and as a person. While it’s heartbreaking to hear that the treatments haven’t gone as hoped, your ability to stay positive and keep moving forward is truly inspiring. You encourage so many others including me, and I’m deeply grateful for the impact you’ve had on my own path. Please know that I, along with countless others, am cheering you on every step of the way. Your courage and resilience shine so brightly, even in the face of hardship, and it’s a light that continues to inspire many of us. Stay strong, you’ve got an army of supporters, and I’m proud to be one of them🙏
After 6 years I have been your subscriber, a part of this community, I literally cried. I saw your years of effort, how your eyes was shining when you speak to other people in their languages… I wasn‘t a good language learner because of my own health problems, but from now on I want to learn as many as I can. But first I have to be proficient in English 😂. I support you, I hope you can find a good treatment and keep your health❤
I have long covid as well (same symptoms, but not as severe). It's a long journey, but we just have to keep believing, friend. You've inspired me for years and started me on my language learning journey. I'm Bi-lingual now, and now getting close to mastering French. I don't think I would have started if not for your content. I have so much love for you, man. Stay strong. We'll get through this someday.
I have also heard and know from several people who acquired problems after the new vaccination program. Maybe you should also be looking into that, a treatment if you got these problems as side effects. Sometimes people don't like to talk about that possibility, but it definitely happens, even a lot and to other famous youtubers who are even open about it (a very big and before successful MTB channel). Because if you investigate possibly the wrong cause of a disease, it is difficult to get the right treatment. Blessings and prayer, a connection to the Creator is the most important ;)
try out the nicotine flushing. 7mg nicotine patch daily for 3 weeks. The theory is that covid attaches to acetylcholine receptors and nicotine attaches to the same receptors pushing out the covid. Some get really better with this method. It's worth a try
I have no clue who you are and haven't followed your journey up to this point. This video simply popped up in my recommended. That being said, I really admire your attitude and outlook. You don't diminish your own pain, suffering, and disappointment. But at the same time, you have a very balanced optimism and resolve that strikes me as incredibly healthy. It seems to me that most people in your position would slide either into defeatism or delusional levels of unrealistic positivity, but you seem to have struck a very healthy middle way
Ikenna, I'm not exaggerating when I say your channel almost single-handedly opened my eyes to the wide, wonderful world of language learning and has changed my life for the better. All the best to you, your health, your loved ones, etc. I look forward to seeing your co-host and hope they can do your channel justice. Looking forward to seeing you in videos as and when I can, - I'll probably try Fluyo when it comes out as well - but above all please take care of yourself best you can!!!
UA-cam decided to put you in my recommendations and I watched not knowing what to expect. I learned that sometimes we just take things for granted...you are an amazing and brave young man. I asked God to help heal you in my prayers tonight, and bring you back to full strength. I hope your life is full of joy and you are able to accomplish all you set your mind to, you are inspirational person.
I've just started watching your channel. My three adult children and I have dysautonomia. My heart and prayers go out to you. We live in DFW and are Should you desire a second opinion, blessed to see a highly respected dysautonomia expert named Dr. Amer Suleman in the DFW area. There is a network of other specialists here who work with dysautonomia patients, including neuro physical therapists at UTSW Medical Center using a protocol designed by Dr. Benjamin Levine for POTS patients. If you have a neuro physical therapist, they may be able to reach out and get the protocol for you. I can truly empathize with how difficult this must be for you. With rest and focus on your health, I pray, trust, and believe you will recover. ❤
You got this Ikenna!! You've been my biggest polygot inspiration since like middle school lol. I'm wishing you so much luck! 💕 Happy belated birthday btw 🎉
I have only seen your health updates, it breaks my heart to see such an amazing person and curious individual have to go through this but I hope you are able to get better and I hope this channel you've built can be steered by a very another amazing person in the meanwhile
I don’t usually comment but you have no idea how hard myself, and I’m sure so many viewers, are routing for you. Take care of yourself and I’ll keep you in my prayers ikenna! God bless you and your hard work! 🙏
Dude please prioritize your health. It's really important for you to do that. I'm glad that you're not getting worse!! And learning German just to be ghosted is crazy. War ein wenig enttäuscht, aber naja was solls. Just glad that you're still alive and thriving as much as you can. I'll definitely be excited for whoever is going to be the co-host!!!!
I was diagnosed with POTS in about 2019 and so many people don't know just how much it affects your daily life, your every moment. what you do, what you eat, even how you dress. but it's not impossible to find treatments that help. I wish you all the best on finding what works for you so that everyday life can be positive, no matter how you end up living it. Still excited for Fluyo but even more than being hopeful for that app I am hopeful for your future as a whole.
O Dear God, I pray this man gets healthy and becomes envigored and happy for the rest of his life. May all this perils become just a distant dream to him in the near future as he lives a thriving fulfilled life for many more years, Amen.
I love how you've never given up fighting and learning where so many of us would've never reached ahhhhh!!! You've instilled within me such an appreciation- I will carry that fire with me to change the world thank you thank you thank youuu!!!
Have you ever considered becoming a vtuber? There's setups that'll let you do it right from your bed without too much work, like how Ironmouse does it. That could help you with not expending excess energy but keep you just as creative as you'd like.
I also have post-covid syndrome and POTS, but I also was already diagnosed with CFS/ME prior to getting covid. It just made my symptoms like a thousand times worse. I've had some really dark days in the last year. Most people just aren't aware how disabling these conditions can be. But I'm (slowly) improving. Wishing you all the best in your recovery journey and all your endeavours. ❤
The chronic illness journey is a tough one, especially one this bad. I feel for you, and I'm especially happy that you're choosing to do what feels good for you, by getting help with your company. It is one of the hardest choices to step down when you remember the things you used to be able to do. ❤
Greetings from Germany! You've been my favorite language learning youtuber and my rolemodel ever since I discovered you in 2020 and it's really heartbreaking to listen to someone with so much passion being restricted by his own body. But even so, the way you've never given up is also incredibly inspiring. I really hope your condition improves and that you'll never lose that fighting spirit. Either way, I'll be supporting you :)
Wow!! I didnt expect to see my fanart in this video!! I have really loved being a part of your community and seeing how Fluyo improves with every update. I am so sad and disappointed with you that your health didn't go where you hoped, but I am glad you are taking the time you need to prioritize yourself and your health. I really look forward to seeing you more in the future, in videos!!! You have always been a huge inspiration to me as a language learner, and I hope I can support you and Fluyo any way I can :))) I seriously wish you the best with your life and everything!!!! AND HAPPY BDAY!!!!
You inspire me, even though you are sick, you are accomplishing so much, makes me grateful for my own health and gets me revved up on my language journey and my career
I just wanted to say, you've been a massive inspiration for me for the last 4-5 years. I never thought I could learn more than one language, but thanks to you, I learned three! I admire you so much, and I'll definitely invest in fluyo when I'll be able to. I hope you heal as soon as possible, and remember to take it easy. We support you ♡
I was the dude with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis who got into language learning because of you! I know that so much (good and bad) happens between these updates. Love to see your persistence, adaptability, and humor! Through it all, that is one aspect of you that will be conquered! Just keep being you, Man! PS I, myself, have not received any medication that worked and have not received the primary medication for PPMS (Ocrevus) due to insurance delay and red tape (which I don’t have the nerves or brain cells anymore for 😅) My body has descended further into autoimmune hell. I’m still nerdy about languages & tech but with more pain, less energy, etc so I do what I can
Hey, bro. I was watching you since like 14-13, and I still do, im 18 now, ever since you felt like a family to me, sort of like older brother. You motivated me to get into this language learning thing, you inspired me to go this path, you're the reason im still into language learning, though I have no success yet, but sometimes I think you would be proud of me, if I did, and it reminds me to keep up. Stay strong, if you managed to learn so many languages, even German which is crazy! There's nothing you can't do, even beating this disease! You're the Kami Sama of Languages, who leads way and shows us the path of learning, so you should keep moving, and shine again. I believe in you, I have faith in you. I hope that this is not the last time we're seeing you, because we love you. Keep going, I believe in you!
That's crazy that the guy who just spoke different languages on vrchat for fun turned into a very inspirational figure, not only planning to create what looks like one of the most fun and engaging language learning apps; moreover, doing everything with such a condition! Power to you Ikenna!
As a person with a chronic illness I am both empathetic and sympathetic to your health challenges. I truly hope that something opens up for you, whether opportunity for trials or other medical treatment. I look at my Fibromyalgia as both a blessing and a curse. It has made me have to rethink how I live my life and how I value making memories. The pain sometimes feels insurmountable, but all I need is to make it through that one day. I just started a channel where i talk about my travels and my illness and try to encourage others who are experiencing their own challenges to prioritize living fully today. Wishing you the absolute best!!
je te souhaite bonne chance, j'espère que les choses iront mieux pour toi à l'avenir. ❤ Et bon courage pour le développement de Fluyo et toute l'équipe derrière !
I am a Spanish speaker and I remember subscribing to this channel and seeing how you had stopped uploading videos, it's good to see you again my friend. I wish u the best of luck.
All prayers to you my dear brother. This video made me so emotional... you are my inspiration.. I've been trying to learn Spanish and Japanese... the progress has been slow but you always gave me the drive to keep on... May God give you the strength to keep on , same as how you helped us all through your channel ❤. You truly are the best.
I have ME from Covid too, but not nearly as severe as you 😢 plus I’m a lot older than you and in my youth I had good health. I’m so inspired by your journey and your resilience and wish you healing in every way. Love from Las Vegas ❤
Have you looked into brain retraining for this? The work by Dr John Sarno, he has a book about it. There's TONS of success stories on UA-cam and people who are recovering completely! I have had chronic pain and fatigue and I see how it's helping me. Just starting...please look into it.
Good luck with your health! We’ve all got your back. Thank you for inspiring me to put effort into learning the languages I’ve wanted to for years and for giving me some of the resources and strategies to do so.
I wish you good luck with your condition. I believe sooner or later someone will be able to cure whatever you have now. I will be supporting your channel even tho your not gonna be doing 100% of the videos. ❤ take care Ikenna
damn, bro youre amazing.. still fighting headstrong and developing the app, you are a massive inspiration to many of us. ive got no words to describe how im proud of this community even though im not as active... im definitely gonna download the app when it launches ❤💗 keep going man
You are a great guy. I watch your videos since before everything and you really made me want to keep learning Russian by myself. Will certaintly support Fluyo for the next years, and I'm still hoping for the best of health for you, Ikenna. You are a dream chaser and a very inspirational human being. Thank you for being on this Earth at the same time as me. Keep up the hard work, and thank you!
It is incredibly hard what you are going through and I admire you fighting spirit and problem-solving attitude through it all. You have been a great source of inspiration for me for many years already and I can't wait to see the accomplishments you still have in store for us. May God lay his merciful hand on you to grant you good health and success.
I understand where this idea of not wanting to only focus on health updates comes from, but I would like to say that I still love (and I’m sure I’m not the only one) to hear about your fight. You are one of the strongest creators that I’ve seen, and your updates on your health are part of that strength. I’m so glad to hear that your health is not getting worse after you let go some of the load that was on your shoulders! Keep fighting, and remember you can rely on others. On your community, on your people, on your team. Best of luck! Really looking forward to the direction of your channel from now on!
Yeah there's honestly not many long covid or dysautonomia awareness and it's upset me how many times he's doubled down on claiming he won't center his channel on this issue. The Physics Girl youtuber also has covid induced dysautonomia and many people only know about this condition because of her. Covid is still giving people dysautonomia all the time and it's very important we talk about it.
Great to hear from you. Congratulations with Fluyo taking off finally, i know it's been a long work in progress. Take care, we'll be here excited for whatever the future brings.
Stay strong Ikenna! I've always struggled to learn languages and you inspire me to keep going on my language journey ❤ I look forward to Fluyo and the Co-Host!
I started watching your videos six years ago, around the time I was 15, and you were a huge influence on me. You inspired me to make language learning one of my hobbies starting with improving my English, then Japanese, French, and now even Korean. I can’t say it worked out well for the last 2 since I lacked structure, but I’m making progress with Korean. Thank you for everything, and I wish you all the best
I love you. And I feel it in my bones that you will make a full health come back. Can't wait to see the new channel format. And looking forward to your appearances. Happy Healing!
Hang in there!!! You inspired 1000s! We are rooting for you. I usually don't comment but just wanted to let you know man. Hang in there my Nigerian brother!
I supported the kickstarter, happy to see your dream project grow and i hope you continue to make the best decisions for you and your needs. (looking forward to the dolphin plushie too)
Tough to hear and have see your story over the last years man. Can't say less than I'm incredibly proud and amazed by your perseverance, endless hope and strength. Wishing you and Brenda all the best the coming time. Love!
I am a polyglot, I have spent the last few years studying various languages and creating content around this one day is one of my dreams. Thank you for being such an inspiration, I really hope the new co-host will help your channel and stop the community from stagnating. Love from France, and wish you the best health-wise.
I'm so excited for Fluyo, honestly looks better and more interactive than other language learning apps. Well wishes and praying that all works out for you, your health, and Fluyo ❤
Interesting that this popped up in my recommended, I had never heard of you or Fluyo. When I saw the title, I was thinking, please don’t let this be a final LIFE update, and I’m glad it isn’t. But your determination to continue to thrive and get better is inspiring, and now maybe I’ll try to learn another language lol. Hope you get better sooner than later!
Ikenna, stay strong brother. Your resilience and strength to pursue your life goals in the face of these medical challenges is nothing short of inspirational and commendable. Many years ago when I first started watching your videos, I was impressed by your language talent, humor, and editing skills. As I sit here today, my impression of you has evolved into something much more. In the face of overwhelming odds with your condition, you continue to motivate hundreds of thousands of people around the world as you create your videos. Despite the pain and difficulties you must endure daily, you continue to produce content that inspires, makes people laugh, and brings people together. You are truly a shining light not just in the language learning community, but across the globe. I hope you can recognize the profound impact you have had, and continue to have on everyone who watches your videos. I wish nothing but the best for you, and I pray that you'll be fully healed from the illness afflicting you, so you may continue to bring joy and inspiration to people everywhere🙏
This video popped up on my recommended list. I'm glad that I opened it and watched. Just watching this one video I find you to be inspiring. Now, I have to go back and get caught up on your channel. Sending you best wishes for a recovery of your health!
Thank you for your transparency, effort, and vision. I've only seen your videos on and off throughout the years, but have always been impressed by your skill and passion for language! I'm even more impressed by your determination as you manage disability and illness. We're rooting for you, Ikenna, as well your team, family and loved ones :)
I rarely write comments, but wow. I just knew you today. I’m also good at learning languages quickly by myself and i relate to you so much. It’s crazy the effort you’ve put on, how you’ve learned every language to communicate with the medical team, and I’m sure you’ll get better. There’s no hurry on anything, please take your time. Happy birthday and stay hopeful and purposeful ❤️
I am glad that you're taking it easy. You've already worked so hard and you've forged the path. Now it's time for you to step back and we love what you've done! Excited to use the app!
Much love man, I feel that even though things didn't turn out as planned Fluyo is coming out soon & going to bring a lot of people joy - as someone who's been following for years I know we're all rooting for you ✊🏾
Physics girl has been battling long covid for years at this point too, it's really sad to see people suffer like this. I really do hope you make a recovery man. I wish you nothing but the best.
Entiendo parte de cómo te sientes, también batallo con mi salud y el encontrar algo que hacer para poder seguir adelante. Me alegra saber de ti y del camino que estás tomando para ocuparte primero de ti y de tu salud. Deseo mucho que puedas mejorar. Me encanta lo que están haciendo con Fluyo. Mis mejores deseos y pronta recuperación. Un abrazo a la distancia. Saludos desde Venezuela.
I know you can’t get to the US most likely because of flying, but the Keiser Clinic specializes in autonomic disorders like POTS. It’s a specialty called Functional Chiropractic Neurology. They tailor the treatment to your specific case, and folks that have been bed bound for years can become functional again. Additionally brain retraining programs like DNRS or the Gupta program for autonomic functioning, over time, showed improvement in POTS cases that were not responding to the common treatments. Best of luck to you with your health! I know it gets tiring to hear the “have you tried …” comments as I have my own chronic condition and have heard similar. But I thought I’d take the chance just in case these lead you somewhere new. I know it was suggestions like this that have helped me. Please take care 🙏🏻
I started watching your videos 4 years ago. Yes, my heart hurts when i see you in a state like that but i can't help but think that all these challenges are meant to strengthen your character, which is already powerful by itself. I adore the fact that you never lose a chance to learn something new, improve your skills in any way. Some of us have a lot of things to learn from you... I don't wish, I know that your health will get better. We love you, Ikenna!
Following your channel a couple years ago and until now always helped and inspired me to do many things in my life. I got a big interest in learning languages and other culture. Happy to hear from you and always hope the better my bother
Sorry about your health Ikenna. I was watching when we were both all fine and when you got your ailment. Now, I have declining health too, so I can empathize a little more. I have Dystonia and my muscles aren't working right anymore. Glad you're still productive and making content that leaves a legacy on the world. I wish I could do the same.
Best of luck, Ikenna. I'm at work trying to hold back tears. I pray only THE BEST for you because you totally deserve it and will keep sending good vibes your way. Thank you for the update and keep your stress way down! Love from Sacramento 🕊💚
Happy birthday Ikenna I am so happy you're back I really hope you have better luck in your future. I love languages and when I drift your content has often centered me. Thank you for all your ambition and drive and content. You deserve the rest you are seeking. Thank you and enjoy your rest and recovery.
As a german I was surprised to hear you speak it. Although there is no treatment at the moment, I wish you an improvement in your condition in the future and hopefully even a cure. Don't give up your hope!
wishing you the best of luck with everything going on. i remember watching your videos all the time years ago. you have truly helped each and every one of your subscribers and fans through both your educational content and your comedy. you have ignited a passion and love that some of us did not have before - the passion of language. best of luck 💪
I found your channel before covid you were learning Spanish, japanese and French and I watch you once a year to have an update. So please continue doing so. I understand you don't want to talk about your health only and you're right to bring back the language content you used to do. If you're OK to vlog once a year it will be fine. We all grew with you and know I can't watch your channel without thinking of your startup progress, you learning a new language or your health. Final decision is yours if you totally disagree with me I'll accept it :) You made the best decision for this channel you probably will. See you next time ❤
Brother, I just found you, and am so glad that you’ve slowed down and are feeling better with your health being stable now. You learned German for a year only to get ghosted by them? WTH?!? I’m so sorry! I’m a retired RN, and there is protocol to follow in all countries, and obviously this isn’t proper protocol, never mind being proper ethical behaviour. You learned Spanish, and now you’re learning 3 new languages? Wow!!! Keep going and keep shining your light. Big love to you and your love!❤❤❤

I'll still make videos from time to time but very short ones (under 3 minutes) as little special suprises every now and then. Probably a few solo videos a year. A lot of videos where I'm featured. I might also try my hand at UA-cam shorts.
Fluyo is going spectacularly, I'm legitmately using it daily to learn a secret language and I'd fight you if you tried to make me use another app. It has a ton of potential and should be coming out publicly to everyone in a few months.

Dude even with your disability your still funny and joyful 😂
Not gonna be sad if someone ghosts me now in a relationship. Gonna move on 😂
Stay strong blood❤
The true German healthcare system experience lmao
I bet if you called they would have given you an appointment. Germany hates emails for some reason, it's torture as an introvert...Had to call more than 10 doctors (or go there in person) before finding one that accepts new patients (yes, normal family doctors), I can't imagine how it is for special treatments. So it's not your fault, it would be difficult even if you speak perfect german!
Best wishes to your health, Ikenna and good luck whoever is co-hosting this channel, you have big shoes to fill!
I’m a pediatric resident doctor in Germany, and my chief at the hospital is one of the pioneers in Post-COVID Syndrome research. She is conducting extensive research on Post-COVID, collecting data, and playing a significant role in discovering new treatments and diagnostics for this condition by kids.

By “post Covid”you mean vaccine injury right?
I have long covid and pots. I am now disabled. I empathize so much with you.
Sending you so much hope for your journey and I hope you find something that helps. Looking forward to fluyo!
I had long Covid and had pots, but now it's much better.
NAC, curcumin, bromelain/nattokinase, serrapeptidase
@@drew9348 NAC and Iverm_____ really did wonders for me, wish y'all the best

to anyone who's ill and/or suffering, i'm sending you big hugs
you just needed more boosters
Same thing happened to my GF. She previously had episodes maybe twice a year but after having covid, she was having episodes/syncope 10 times a day for over a year straight. Very slowly did it get better and now only happens maybe twice a month.
I don't think I ever clicked on the notification that fast before
Me too
Actually teared up watching a man with dreams & somehow the willpower to execute them, grip with his own health. I started following Ikenna back in 2019, just before I started learning german. Idk, I'm a lil at a loss for words, but his journey instills a certain inspiration within me, unironically an evident reminder of the power of the human mind. I'm in this perplexing fog in my current dysthymic mental health right now, and I wish I could tell him how much I needed to hear this from someone who had contended with the most daunting of odds. Unbedingt außergewöhnlich!!
I am highly emotional after watching this video.
I genuinely wish you the best this world is capable to give, Ikenna.
If any of you guys care about this man's health please please wear a kn95 as often as possible. Long covid does not discriminate and this could be you or your loved one at any moment.
Ikenna-san, I always admire your strength, both as a creator and as a person. While it’s heartbreaking to hear that the treatments haven’t gone as hoped, your ability to stay positive and keep moving forward is truly inspiring. You encourage so many others including me, and I’m deeply grateful for the impact you’ve had on my own path.
Please know that I, along with countless others, am cheering you on every step of the way. Your courage and resilience shine so brightly, even in the face of hardship, and it’s a light that continues to inspire many of us.
Stay strong, you’ve got an army of supporters, and I’m proud to be one of them🙏
Sup Kazu!
Kazu!
Thank you brother 🙏🏽
Seems like he has a very good support system.
After 6 years I have been your subscriber, a part of this community, I literally cried. I saw your years of effort, how your eyes was shining when you speak to other people in their languages… I wasn‘t a good language learner because of my own health problems, but from now on I want to learn as many as I can. But first I have to be proficient in English 😂. I support you, I hope you can find a good treatment and keep your health❤
Best of luck, Ikenna. I’ll miss you so much, but I’m glad you’re choosing your health and I’m so happy Fluyo is taking off. Wishing the best for you!
Good luck with everything
I have long covid as well (same symptoms, but not as severe). It's a long journey, but we just have to keep believing, friend. You've inspired me for years and started me on my language learning journey. I'm Bi-lingual now, and now getting close to mastering French. I don't think I would have started if not for your content. I have so much love for you, man. Stay strong. We'll get through this someday.
I have also heard and know from several people who acquired problems after the new vaccination program. Maybe you should also be looking into that, a treatment if you got these problems as side effects. Sometimes people don't like to talk about that possibility, but it definitely happens, even a lot and to other famous youtubers who are even open about it (a very big and before successful MTB channel).
Because if you investigate possibly the wrong cause of a disease, it is difficult to get the right treatment. Blessings and prayer, a connection to the Creator is the most important ;)
try out the nicotine flushing. 7mg nicotine patch daily for 3 weeks. The theory is that covid attaches to acetylcholine receptors and nicotine attaches to the same receptors pushing out the covid. Some get really better with this method. It's worth a try
@@alminc91 I also have long covid. for most people with long covid, vaccination helps symptoms, rather than creates them.
@@AlenaFenomenaWho told you that you have a long COVID ?
@@drakker2116 Most likely a Doctor. Not a youtube video.
I have no clue who you are and haven't followed your journey up to this point. This video simply popped up in my recommended. That being said, I really admire your attitude and outlook. You don't diminish your own pain, suffering, and disappointment. But at the same time, you have a very balanced optimism and resolve that strikes me as incredibly healthy. It seems to me that most people in your position would slide either into defeatism or delusional levels of unrealistic positivity, but you seem to have struck a very healthy middle way
Watch his older videos, they're all really fun!
HEY SAME! HOW NEAT IS THAT?!
Me too!
Ikenna, I'm not exaggerating when I say your channel almost single-handedly opened my eyes to the wide, wonderful world of language learning and has changed my life for the better. All the best to you, your health, your loved ones, etc. I look forward to seeing your co-host and hope they can do your channel justice. Looking forward to seeing you in videos as and when I can, - I'll probably try Fluyo when it comes out as well - but above all please take care of yourself best you can!!!
UA-cam decided to put you in my recommendations and I watched not knowing what to expect. I learned that sometimes we just take things for granted...you are an amazing and brave young man. I asked God to help heal you in my prayers tonight, and bring you back to full strength. I hope your life is full of joy and you are able to accomplish all you set your mind to, you are inspirational person.
I've just started watching your channel. My three adult children and I have dysautonomia. My heart and prayers go out to you. We live in DFW and are Should you desire a second opinion, blessed to see a highly respected dysautonomia expert named Dr. Amer Suleman in the DFW area. There is a network of other specialists here who work with dysautonomia patients, including neuro physical therapists at UTSW Medical Center using a protocol designed by Dr. Benjamin Levine for POTS patients. If you have a neuro physical therapist, they may be able to reach out and get the protocol for you. I can truly empathize with how difficult this must be for you. With rest and focus on your health, I pray, trust, and believe you will recover. ❤
Hey Ikenna, defo do at least some yt shorts, even seeing you for 5-10 seconds would make our day!
Yes - do it!
You got this Ikenna!! You've been my biggest polygot inspiration since like middle school lol. I'm wishing you so much luck! 💕
Happy belated birthday btw 🎉
I have only seen your health updates, it breaks my heart to see such an amazing person and curious individual have to go through this but I hope you are able to get better and I hope this channel you've built can be steered by a very another amazing person in the meanwhile
I clicked so fast
Do you know what I mean... at the speed of light 🌩
I don’t usually comment but you have no idea how hard myself, and I’m sure so many viewers, are routing for you. Take care of yourself and I’ll keep you in my prayers ikenna! God bless you and your hard work! 🙏
Dude please prioritize your health. It's really important for you to do that. I'm glad that you're not getting worse!! And learning German just to be ghosted is crazy. War ein wenig enttäuscht, aber naja was solls. Just glad that you're still alive and thriving as much as you can. I'll definitely be excited for whoever is going to be the co-host!!!!
I was diagnosed with POTS in about 2019 and so many people don't know just how much it affects your daily life, your every moment. what you do, what you eat, even how you dress. but it's not impossible to find treatments that help. I wish you all the best on finding what works for you so that everyday life can be positive, no matter how you end up living it. Still excited for Fluyo but even more than being hopeful for that app I am hopeful for your future as a whole.
I have POTS too. Some of my relatives think it isn't a legitimate disease.
O Dear God, I pray this man gets healthy and becomes envigored and happy for the rest of his life. May all this perils become just a distant dream to him in the near future as he lives a thriving fulfilled life for many more years, Amen.
I love how you've never given up fighting and learning where so many of us would've never reached ahhhhh!!! You've instilled within me such an appreciation- I will carry that fire with me to change the world thank you thank you thank youuu!!!
Have you ever considered becoming a vtuber? There's setups that'll let you do it right from your bed without too much work, like how Ironmouse does it. That could help you with not expending excess energy but keep you just as creative as you'd like.
Ikenna I would eat this up
I thought this too while watching
Whats that?
I… don't really think it's a great idea for a language learning channel with language learning audience.
@@Reymax164 Why? He's literally most famous for Vrchat videos. It'd work just fine.
I also have post-covid syndrome and POTS, but I also was already diagnosed with CFS/ME prior to getting covid. It just made my symptoms like a thousand times worse. I've had some really dark days in the last year. Most people just aren't aware how disabling these conditions can be. But I'm (slowly) improving.
Wishing you all the best in your recovery journey and all your endeavours. ❤
Good luck
Best wishes to you too 🫂
The chronic illness journey is a tough one, especially one this bad. I feel for you, and I'm especially happy that you're choosing to do what feels good for you, by getting help with your company. It is one of the hardest choices to step down when you remember the things you used to be able to do. ❤
Greetings from Germany! You've been my favorite language learning youtuber and my rolemodel ever since I discovered you in 2020 and it's really heartbreaking to listen to someone with so much passion being restricted by his own body. But even so, the way you've never given up is also incredibly inspiring. I really hope your condition improves and that you'll never lose that fighting spirit. Either way, I'll be supporting you :)
Wow!! I didnt expect to see my fanart in this video!! I have really loved being a part of your community and seeing how Fluyo improves with every update. I am so sad and disappointed with you that your health didn't go where you hoped, but I am glad you are taking the time you need to prioritize yourself and your health. I really look forward to seeing you more in the future, in videos!!! You have always been a huge inspiration to me as a language learner, and I hope I can support you and Fluyo any way I can :))) I seriously wish you the best with your life and everything!!!! AND HAPPY BDAY!!!!
You inspire me, even though you are sick, you are accomplishing so much, makes me grateful for my own health and gets me revved up on my language journey and my career
I just wanted to say, you've been a massive inspiration for me for the last 4-5 years. I never thought I could learn more than one language, but thanks to you, I learned three!
I admire you so much, and I'll definitely invest in fluyo when I'll be able to.
I hope you heal as soon as possible, and remember to take it easy.
We support you ♡
I was the dude with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis who got into language learning because of you! I know that so much (good and bad) happens between these updates. Love to see your persistence, adaptability, and humor! Through it all, that is one aspect of you that will be conquered! Just keep being you, Man! PS I, myself, have not received any medication that worked and have not received the primary medication for PPMS (Ocrevus) due to insurance delay and red tape (which I don’t have the nerves or brain cells anymore for 😅) My body has descended further into autoimmune hell. I’m still nerdy about languages & tech but with more pain, less energy, etc so I do what I can
Ikenna do not give up,we in Nigeria is praying for you. Remember home.
Praying for your healing and speedy recovery 🙏🏾
Hey, bro. I was watching you since like 14-13, and I still do, im 18 now, ever since you felt like a family to me, sort of like older brother. You motivated me to get into this language learning thing, you inspired me to go this path, you're the reason im still into language learning, though I have no success yet, but sometimes I think you would be proud of me, if I did, and it reminds me to keep up.
Stay strong, if you managed to learn so many languages, even German which is crazy! There's nothing you can't do, even beating this disease! You're the Kami Sama of Languages, who leads way and shows us the path of learning, so you should keep moving, and shine again. I believe in you, I have faith in you. I hope that this is not the last time we're seeing you, because we love you. Keep going, I believe in you!
You have my prayers, brother!
I pray that an opportunty to help your condition reveals itself to you sometime down the line!
That's crazy that the guy who just spoke different languages on vrchat for fun turned into a very inspirational figure, not only planning to create what looks like one of the most fun and engaging language learning apps; moreover, doing everything with such a condition! Power to you Ikenna!
As a person with a chronic illness I am both empathetic and sympathetic to your health challenges. I truly hope that something opens up for you, whether opportunity for trials or other medical treatment. I look at my Fibromyalgia as both a blessing and a curse. It has made me have to rethink how I live my life and how I value making memories. The pain sometimes feels insurmountable, but all I need is to make it through that one day. I just started a channel where i talk about my travels and my illness and try to encourage others who are experiencing their own challenges to prioritize living fully today. Wishing you the absolute best!!
je te souhaite bonne chance, j'espère que les choses iront mieux pour toi à l'avenir. ❤
Et bon courage pour le développement de Fluyo et toute l'équipe derrière !
I am a Spanish speaker and I remember subscribing to this channel and seeing how you had stopped uploading videos, it's good to see you again my friend. I wish u the best of luck.
All prayers to you my dear brother. This video made me so emotional... you are my inspiration.. I've been trying to learn Spanish and Japanese... the progress has been slow but you always gave me the drive to keep on...
May God give you the strength to keep on , same as how you helped us all through your channel ❤.
You truly are the best.
I have ME from Covid too, but not nearly as severe as you 😢 plus I’m a lot older than you and in my youth I had good health. I’m so inspired by your journey and your resilience and wish you healing in every way. Love from Las Vegas ❤
Have you looked into brain retraining for this? The work by Dr John Sarno, he has a book about it. There's TONS of success stories on UA-cam and people who are recovering completely! I have had chronic pain and fatigue and I see how it's helping me. Just starting...please look into it.
From covid or from the jabs?
Good luck with your health! We’ve all got your back. Thank you for inspiring me to put effort into learning the languages I’ve wanted to for years and for giving me some of the resources and strategies to do so.
I have the same condition as you, this shit is like cancer.
I wish you good luck with your condition. I believe sooner or later someone will be able to cure whatever you have now.
I will be supporting your channel even tho your not gonna be doing 100% of the videos.
❤ take care Ikenna
damn, bro youre amazing.. still fighting headstrong and developing the app, you are a massive inspiration to many of us. ive got no words to describe how im proud of this community even though im not as active... im definitely gonna download the app when it launches ❤💗 keep going man
Praying for you brother🙏🏽 may you have a long happy life
You are a great guy. I watch your videos since before everything and you really made me want to keep learning Russian by myself. Will certaintly support Fluyo for the next years, and I'm still hoping for the best of health for you, Ikenna. You are a dream chaser and a very inspirational human being. Thank you for being on this Earth at the same time as me. Keep up the hard work, and thank you!
It is incredibly hard what you are going through and I admire you fighting spirit and problem-solving attitude through it all. You have been a great source of inspiration for me for many years already and I can't wait to see the accomplishments you still have in store for us. May God lay his merciful hand on you to grant you good health and success.
I understand where this idea of not wanting to only focus on health updates comes from, but I would like to say that I still love (and I’m sure I’m not the only one) to hear about your fight. You are one of the strongest creators that I’ve seen, and your updates on your health are part of that strength. I’m so glad to hear that your health is not getting worse after you let go some of the load that was on your shoulders! Keep fighting, and remember you can rely on others. On your community, on your people, on your team. Best of luck! Really looking forward to the direction of your channel from now on!
Yeah there's honestly not many long covid or dysautonomia awareness and it's upset me how many times he's doubled down on claiming he won't center his channel on this issue. The Physics Girl youtuber also has covid induced dysautonomia and many people only know about this condition because of her. Covid is still giving people dysautonomia all the time and it's very important we talk about it.
Im so happy youre alive! Please make sure you prioritize
Good luck, Ikenna. Keep your head up. You are a true inspiration for everyone in the language learning community.
So happy to hear that you're doing okay.I was thinking the worst 😢😢😢😢😢
Great to hear from you. Congratulations with Fluyo taking off finally, i know it's been a long work in progress. Take care, we'll be here excited for whatever the future brings.
Stay strong Ikenna! I've always struggled to learn languages and you inspire me to keep going on my language journey ❤ I look forward to Fluyo and the Co-Host!
I started watching your videos six years ago, around the time I was 15, and you were a huge influence on me. You inspired me to make language learning one of my hobbies starting with improving my English, then Japanese, French, and now even Korean. I can’t say it worked out well for the last 2 since I lacked structure, but I’m making progress with Korean. Thank you for everything, and I wish you all the best
I love you. And I feel it in my bones that you will make a full health come back. Can't wait to see the new channel format. And looking forward to your appearances. Happy Healing!
Hang in there!!! You inspired 1000s! We are rooting for you. I usually don't comment but just wanted to let you know man. Hang in there my Nigerian brother!
Praying for your health man, you were one of my main inspirations when I first started my language-learning journey 4 years ago 🙏
I supported the kickstarter, happy to see your dream project grow and i hope you continue to make the best decisions for you and your needs. (looking forward to the dolphin plushie too)
Tough to hear and have see your story over the last years man. Can't say less than I'm incredibly proud and amazed by your perseverance, endless hope and strength. Wishing you and Brenda all the best the coming time. Love!
i dont know what to say.
hello
You are the reason I want to be a polyglot, your strenght and resilience is beyond admirable. Thank you❤🖤
Just came across your channel, praying the Lord heals you 🙏💜
I am a polyglot, I have spent the last few years studying various languages and creating content around this one day is one of my dreams. Thank you for being such an inspiration, I really hope the new co-host will help your channel and stop the community from stagnating. Love from France, and wish you the best health-wise.
7:01 omg that's my art! It shocked me seeing it in the video, I'm so glad you got to see it~ makes me happy.
I'm so excited for Fluyo, honestly looks better and more interactive than other language learning apps. Well wishes and praying that all works out for you, your health, and Fluyo ❤
Interesting that this popped up in my recommended, I had never heard of you or Fluyo. When I saw the title, I was thinking, please don’t let this be a final LIFE update, and I’m glad it isn’t. But your determination to continue to thrive and get better is inspiring, and now maybe I’ll try to learn another language lol. Hope you get better sooner than later!
Ikenna, stay strong brother. Your resilience and strength to pursue your life goals in the face of these medical challenges is nothing short of inspirational and commendable. Many years ago when I first started watching your videos, I was impressed by your language talent, humor, and editing skills. As I sit here today, my impression of you has evolved into something much more. In the face of overwhelming odds with your condition, you continue to motivate hundreds of thousands of people around the world as you create your videos. Despite the pain and difficulties you must endure daily, you continue to produce content that inspires, makes people laugh, and brings people together. You are truly a shining light not just in the language learning community, but across the globe. I hope you can recognize the profound impact you have had, and continue to have on everyone who watches your videos. I wish nothing but the best for you, and I pray that you'll be fully healed from the illness afflicting you, so you may continue to bring joy and inspiration to people everywhere🙏
Thanks for the kinds words Ryan, really appreciate it 🙏🏽😭
This video popped up on my recommended list. I'm glad that I opened it and watched. Just watching this one video I find you to be inspiring. Now, I have to go back and get caught up on your channel. Sending you best wishes for a recovery of your health!
Thank you for your transparency, effort, and vision. I've only seen your videos on and off throughout the years, but have always been impressed by your skill and passion for language! I'm even more impressed by your determination as you manage disability and illness. We're rooting for you, Ikenna, as well your team, family and loved ones :)
I rarely write comments, but wow. I just knew you today. I’m also good at learning languages quickly by myself and i relate to you so much. It’s crazy the effort you’ve put on, how you’ve learned every language to communicate with the medical team, and I’m sure you’ll get better. There’s no hurry on anything, please take your time.
Happy birthday and stay hopeful and purposeful ❤️
I am glad that you're taking it easy.
You've already worked so hard and you've forged the path.
Now it's time for you to step back and we love what you've done!
Excited to use the app!
Much love man, I feel that even though things didn't turn out as planned Fluyo is coming out soon & going to bring a lot of people joy - as someone who's been following for years I know we're all rooting for you ✊🏾
So, so much respect to you. After all of these hardships, you continue to push and never give up. Keep fighting!
Physics girl has been battling long covid for years at this point too, it's really sad to see people suffer like this. I really do hope you make a recovery man. I wish you nothing but the best.
Ikenna I've been watching your videos for years now and you have been nothing but an inspiration. Sending all the love and support from Scotland.💙
Entiendo parte de cómo te sientes, también batallo con mi salud y el encontrar algo que hacer para poder seguir adelante. Me alegra saber de ti y del camino que estás tomando para ocuparte primero de ti y de tu salud. Deseo mucho que puedas mejorar. Me encanta lo que están haciendo con Fluyo. Mis mejores deseos y pronta recuperación. Un abrazo a la distancia. Saludos desde Venezuela.
I know you can’t get to the US most likely because of flying, but the Keiser Clinic specializes in autonomic disorders like POTS. It’s a specialty called Functional Chiropractic Neurology. They tailor the treatment to your specific case, and folks that have been bed bound for years can become functional again. Additionally brain retraining programs like DNRS or the Gupta program for autonomic functioning, over time, showed improvement in POTS cases that were not responding to the common treatments. Best of luck to you with your health! I know it gets tiring to hear the “have you tried …” comments as I have my own chronic condition and have heard similar. But I thought I’d take the chance just in case these lead you somewhere new. I know it was suggestions like this that have helped me. Please take care 🙏🏻
I started watching your videos 4 years ago. Yes, my heart hurts when i see you in a state like that but i can't help but think that all these challenges are meant to strengthen your character, which is already powerful by itself. I adore the fact that you never lose a chance to learn something new, improve your skills in any way. Some of us have a lot of things to learn from you... I don't wish, I know that your health will get better. We love you, Ikenna!
I pray that you grow stronger and healthier and that Father God be your strength and cure from this diseases In Jesus Name Amen ❤
Following your channel a couple years ago and until now always helped and inspired me to do many things in my life. I got a big interest in learning languages and other culture. Happy to hear from you and always hope the better my bother
Legend
Sorry about your health Ikenna. I was watching when we were both all fine and when you got your ailment. Now, I have declining health too, so I can empathize a little more. I have Dystonia and my muscles aren't working right anymore. Glad you're still productive and making content that leaves a legacy on the world. I wish I could do the same.
Best of luck, Ikenna. I'm at work trying to hold back tears. I pray only THE BEST for you because you totally deserve it and will keep sending good vibes your way. Thank you for the update and keep your stress way down! Love from Sacramento 🕊💚
Brother you are an absolute inspiration. I hope the absolute best for you. 🙏🙏
Happy birthday Ikenna I am so happy you're back I really hope you have better luck in your future. I love languages and when I drift your content has often centered me. Thank you for all your ambition and drive and content. You deserve the rest you are seeking. Thank you and enjoy your rest and recovery.
I legit was JUST thinking about you the other day! Looking forward to the app and glad to see you're still at it. 🤗🥳🥳
As a german I was surprised to hear you speak it. Although there is no treatment at the moment, I wish you an improvement in your condition in the future and hopefully even a cure. Don't give up your hope!
Thinking of you buddy. Praying for your healing ❤️❤️❤️ As someone with disautonomia, I don’t wish it on anyone.
I'm so sorry the German one ghosted you. Gute Besserung und viel Erfolg, Bruder
Definitely will be investing. You can always pivot and transition your channel to a life channel using languages.
1) Happy late birthday man
2) Having a Cost host will be amazing for you as you have done so much.
Stay healthy man
wishing you the best of luck with everything going on. i remember watching your videos all the time years ago. you have truly helped each and every one of your subscribers and fans through both your educational content and your comedy. you have ignited a passion and love that some of us did not have before - the passion of language. best of luck 💪
I found your channel before covid you were learning Spanish, japanese and French and I watch you once a year to have an update.
So please continue doing so.
I understand you don't want to talk about your health only and you're right to bring back the language content you used to do. If you're OK to vlog once a year it will be fine.
We all grew with you and know I can't watch your channel without thinking of your startup progress, you learning a new language or your health.
Final decision is yours if you totally disagree with me I'll accept it :)
You made the best decision for this channel you probably will.
See you next time ❤
Brother, I just found you, and am so glad that you’ve slowed down and are feeling better with your health being stable now. You learned German for a year only to get ghosted by them? WTH?!? I’m so sorry! I’m a retired RN, and there is protocol to follow in all countries, and obviously this isn’t proper protocol, never mind being proper ethical behaviour. You learned Spanish, and now you’re learning 3 new languages? Wow!!! Keep going and keep shining your light. Big love to you and your love!❤❤❤
