I'M SICK (WHAT I LEARNED ON MY SOCIAL MEDIA BREAK)
Вставка

- In this video I talk about what I learned on my social media break. this video is about my health. Some how I got very allergic to something in my hotel room, leaving me covered in hives and short of breath. I realized things like this (allergy attacks, shortness of breath, stomach issues, etc) are happening too often and I've been ignoring how my body really feels. I need to figure out whats going on to get my health in a better place.
Thumbnail is taken while was experiencing issues in Santa Fe.
What if getting a work up actually makes you feel better? Yes it’s scary, AND knowing what it is can b empowering. ❤️
Not only that it can put your mind at ease. Stress can cause stomach issues and skin issues eczema. Cedar poisoning is a real thing to.
True!
Wait
Thank you. Half of what we worry about never happens.
First off Anna your just amazing!! Second u are not alone in how u are feeling I am dealing with the same things.❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic cancer last year. What I’ve learned through this process is the fear of the unknown is worse than the actually knowing. I’ve had to accept that most things are out of our control. When we have a setback, we cry and then move forward. When we have a win, we praise God and move forward. I know you will understand what I mean.
Why not Praise God when things don't go well? He may have protected you are you were not aware.
@@joyceutt3419 I know you think you feel you mean well, but it's very condescending to tell people how to grieve and how to have a personal relationship with God.
To me, not knowing was always always worse then knowing about a diagnosis. You are strong,Anna, you can deal with everything ❤️
My wife had the weirdest symptoms when she had Covid and pretty much everything you had was one of her symptoms. I wish you the best and hope you get well soon.
Forgot to mention as far as the hives go, she would get them up to a month after Covid.
@@ChuckNoris274 Wow that's interesting, first time I've heard about hives as a symptom, hope your wife is doing better now.
My brother also experienced many of the symptoms she is displaying, and also thought he had "cedar fever". He didn't test positive until he had a PCR test. I was thinking the same thing as she spoke.
@@leelee2350 She made a full recovery! She didn’t even know she had it. Thought it was a really bad sinus infection then the hives hit and she got tested and there it was. My five Y/O got it 8 months later and his blotchy skin is how we knew. Pretty much his only symptoms and didn’t just walk through it, he ran through it! We have had it 3 times now in the house and I have yet to get it. It’s so weird!
I was going to say the same thing…I had Hives all during Covid, from eye lid down to my toes and they lasted about month after I was diagnosed.
Oh, one more thing. If you end up with one of those doctors that dismiss you due to weight, you get up, walk out and call another one. This is your life and you fight for it. Personally, I have found that most female doctors are so much more in tune with us women and don;t blame weight.
But ignoring the weight issue won’t help either
Thank you so much for being vulnerable and sharing this with the world. you are definitely not alone in this fear but you are a rock star and I just know you are gonna do great.
Love you sweetheart. Getting diagnosed is pretty frightening. When I was diagnosed with MS and saw the spots on my brain MRI I can't even describe the fear but I survived
and you will too. You are stronger than you know .I'm so glad you're seeking help.
Hi Wanda, I hope that you are learning to deal with your MS?? I know how you feel as I have MS too. I do my best everyday to be as normal as I can ❤❤
You're stronger and braver than you think. Don't be hesitant about changing doctors if you don't feel comfortable. The right one for you is out there. You are in charge of your body. You can do this. It will be hard but you've been through worse. All you need is a plan and then you can take charge like the boss lady you are. I want to send a big hug and tell you "you got this!"
Heyy friendly nurse here 👋 this is an EXTREMELY NORMAL response to illness. There is nothing wrong with your response to this stressor and I do believe taking that leap to get a full work up will ease your mind. You do HARD stuff all the time, you can do this. The unknown is scarier than the known, promise! It could be much less than you have worked up in your mind! And if it is as bad as you think, you will gain POWER over what's going on. Good luck, I have loved you for years and years ❤️ sorry for the issues in the medical system 😔please don't listen to the internet
I love you for so many reasons… your BRAVERY here is just another one. You got this girlie!! Hoping you’re ok and looking forward to updates… stay strong 🖤🖤🖤
Anna, I must be honest. I started watching you because I find you outstanding both physically and personality wise. But I love your strength and vulnerability. But this is something I can understand where you are coming from. I have the same fears. I DONT WANNA KNOW THE BAD SHIT. IM GOING, YOU GO TOO
We always want to believe we are okay. The truth is though, getting checked out and catching issues early is important. You are courageous enough to share, which means you are courageous enough to get help. It's okay to need help. I'm rooting for you! ❤
I’m so impressed with your decision to seek medical care and with your ability to be honest about your illness and your fears. You’re being very courageous and I wish you the best!
You can do this! If you have an illness , the more you know about it, the better you can deal with it mentally, emotionally, physically- all ways. Sometimes the most upsetting, disturbing thing is not knowing and worrying usually about the worst case scenario. Anna , you are not your body. You are not your thoughts. You are not your illness. You are a being of light and love and energy. You are never alone for God is always there for you. Pray to him and you will see this to be true. He doesn’t always remove our trials he gets us through them. You can do this. You can!! 🧡🌸🧸
Oh hun, I really understand what you're going through. I was scared of being diagnosed with something for almost 5 years (im now 38yo). I had endometrium issues, was bleeding out each month but still ignoring the signs. Until mid last year. Now I'm recovering from from a hysterectomy (endometrium cancer) and waiting for my radiotherapy treatment. But I'm practically cured, my horror is almost over. But the anxiety I was living with for years was exhausting. Pick up the courage and go to the doctors and learned what you have to fight with. The diagnosis is a shocking moment but the power rush once you know your enemy will help you through! I love you! ❤️
Thank you SO so so so much for sharing this. I was in tears watching this because I relate so much. I'm so proud of you and hope you're able to find some answers. I have lipedema as well and that comes with a whole slew of other issues, including digestive, circulatory, skin, and even psychological issues too in some cases, so juggling all that has been wild but oddly affirming. There is still such little widely known research done on lipedema and the few doctors who are even aware of it are still actively trying to understand the complexities of the disease and how it affects our entire system so that in itself is a battle as well. I'm rooting for you! I'm right there with ya ♡
Same. Liposuctions helped a lot,but since I am 7 months pregnant the illness came back and I hate seeing my body changing again ( no,I’m. It talking about the baby ;) )
My father died young of an autoimmune and my mother is debilitated by other chronic illnesses and everything you said about how you prioritize exceeding expectations and avoid medical diagnosis and protect yourself is 100% me. I have my own chronic autoimmune issues (multiple) and I just pushed through until I couldn’t any more. My quality of life is better for having gotten help and I wish I’d gotten it sooner. I wish you the same luck and know that I feel you and understand. For me “couldn’t anymore” landed me in the hospital near death. I’m glad you are overcoming your fear sooner than I did. I know what a hurdle it is.
I got very emotional with you watching this. I have almost all the same fears and it is HARD to take those steps to take care of you. To do the actual self care and not just the fun spa stuff. Big hugs from this internet stranger. You are super not alone in your feelings or this life.
Oh gosh I can totally relate to what you are saying!! I’m so glad you had the courage to put it out here!!! You are an inspiring person and I think you speaking about this is going to help many of us who feel this way. Stay strong you deserve everything and more❤️❤️
Anna, I'm praying for you! I totally understand where you are coming from. 🙏❤️
I have a terrifying fear of the dentist. I can’t really remember a traumatic experience, maybe it’s the noise?
BUT, seeing you be so honest, gives me the gumption to make an appointment❤️
I don’t like the dentist either and it’s definitely the noise for me but I do go I have found a very gentle and kind dentist
Ohh, hon!!! You are strong and you are brave. You mean so much to so many people and have been a trailblazer for so many. This is another place where you can open up a path for others who may have similar issues. You could just have several allergies, but you really do need to find out for your own piece of mind. So much of the stress on your shoulders can be relieved with knowledge.
You mean the world to so many (ME!!!) and my heart hurts for you. We will all be here to support you and help you through all of this. You have 'been there' for so many of us, sharing your stories--We got you! We will be the shoulders, ears and screaming partners that you need. We love you, Anna, and we only want the best for you!!
If I ever make it back to Austin, I'll take you out to Mother's!!
My Mom was also chronically ill my entire life. I'm pretty sure she was in the hospital as much as she was at home. She is no longer with us. I am also frightened I could end up the same way. I'm praying for you Anna!
You are a very strong and courageous woman!! Thats why I love your channel and all of your content!!! We are behind you 100% and praying that you pull through this issue!!! You can do it!!! Just keep pushing forward!!!
I could have posted this video myself, nearly word for word. Our symptoms are different, yes, but our fears are the same. Thank you for being so vulnerable and brave to share such a deep seated fear with your subscribers. You aren’t alone, and you’ve got this. I’ll try to tell myself the same. I know it’s hard. ♥️♥️♥️
I found out 6 years ago, I have an unknown illness which causes chronic blood loss, anemia, B 12 deficiency, and to a degree they consider my body pain Fybromialysia. You don't let it stop you. You do what you can and continue on, not only for your children, family, and loved ones, but FOR YOU. I've fought my illness for years. I haven't beat it, but I fight. You don't give into it and you don't give up. I've had many transfusions, infusions, hospital stays, and almost thought it was my time. You go find out what it is girl and face it head on! You are a strong woman and you've beat the odds already in so many ways. Have faith in yourself because we do! Hugs to you!
I hope that one day everyone will see how truly beautiful (inside/out) you are! You are sooo honest in everything you do, just keep being you girl! You are gorgeous and you deserve to be happy every minute of your life. We need more people like you! ❤️
Hey, stop psyching your self out. I know it's scary to know the truth but it gives you knowledge on how to fix it. You are a smart and a strong woman, you will find a way to fix what ever it is. The easiest place is to be a victim, it's hard to be a fighter, but you can do it. I have no doubt in you. Get your shit together, do not take no for an answer and fight. Go to multiple doctors if you have, don't stop until you hear the answer that satisfies you. Don't worry about all those losers that don't have there lives together and dare to comment on someone else's. What the hell do they know. You go girl, love and take care of your self. Hugs to you 🤗
My heart heard this so strongly. I truly hope you find answers and it’s a fixable situation. Big hugs! You are so much stronger then you think!
I have Crohn’s disease. And celiacs disease. And I’m a dv survivor so I struggle with ptsd, anxiety and depression. I do have days that I spend in bed. Some days I can’t move and some days I don’t want to. You, Anna, are wonderful. You have been helping me love myself more. I got an outfit. I haven’t done that in years. Because you inspired me. I was so much worse when I didn’t know what was wrong. Whatever you find out, you’ll still be strong. You’ll still be inspirational. You’ll still be you. I hate that I get so much joy from you when you’re suffering. We’re your cheer team! We love you! And we’re here for as much of the journey you share with us. You’re going to get through this. Sickness doesn’t make you less of a person. You’ve got this chicka. You’ve got this.
I get the not wanting to know. It can be so scary. Sending you hugs and love. We are here for you! ❤️❤️
My heart is with you!! We are all here to support you always
Take one step at a time and invest in yourself. You can do this! You are brave and stronger than you even know!
It is SO TRUE! Dr's see a "bigger" person, automatically they ALWAYS blame your weight! Without even diagnosing you running tests or anyting. I have personally been through this.
I have severe anxiety around medical care and no one understands why I’m my life this made me feel heard I’m with you and I’m so sorry
I heard you sweetheart x
I too have severe anxiety but everyone thinks it’s in my head❤️❤️❤️
Definitely see an allergist. It’s a great place to start and not threatening. Allergies do increase overall inflammation. And you have to “peel the onion” to see what is left. And doctors don’t know everything so get second or third opinions. You will feel better taking charge of your life and you are brave for tackling your fears!
I AM EXACTLY THE SAME ! My strange logic is if any of my ailments/ pain etc were serious... I'd have died already 🤔🤔😁 I'm 52. My mum died when she was only 46. Both parents lost to cancer. I feel if I fall down the rabbit hole, that will be it. Ignorance seems to be my bliss . But you're video is EXTREMELY RELATABLE. Also came across you're channel because I saw a short video of you. The one that's got 4.1 million views!!! I've been hooked ever since 🤣 the confidence, the sass, is mind blowing to me !! Sending my best wishes from Scotland 🏴
You are not alone im actually going thru the same thing I am scared to know what's wrong with me because I deep down kno im not well my kidneys are messed up my stomach and breathing and have not told anyone im not well ..this is actually my first time letting that out and u really opened my eyes right now but I kno how u feel because I still feel scared ..i send u my love n prayers ..keep ur head up ur such a great inspiration 💕💕 much love
Darling, anxiety can truly cause all these symptoms 😢... I hope you can get to the bottom of your symptoms bc you're an inspiration with your positive, lovely clips you present...I will be keeping you in my Prayers for recovery Sweetheart ❤ 🙏 💙
Anna...I am giving you the warmest virtual squeeze ever!! I am so sorry you are having to endure this challenging chapter in your life. I pray it is a very brief one. You are such a beautiful, brilliant woman who deserves the very best in life!! I am here in your corner...all the way! Breathe friend...and go discover how is the best way to help your body heal. 🌼💛🌼💛🌼💛🌼💛🌼
As someone who has had numerous panic attacks in a Doctors office I TOTALLY felt all of this so much. You are not alone in these feelings
I’m so sorry you had a rough time on social I love you so much queen!
I hate to see you broken and feeling ill. I am praying for your strength, courage and knowledge on finding the factors about what is going on with your body. You will be better soon. I just know it!!!! ❤️
Get well soon. I hope it's all easily explainable and treatable. You won't know until you go. Take care 💜💜
Being chronic sickness sucks. I hate that you aren't feeling yourself. I hope that soon you will find what changes could help you. I have been chronically ill since 2008. You need to feel who you are and find if it is something that can be handled.
I’m sorry you aren’t feeling well but, thank you for opening up and making us a part of your world. We love you, you’re gorgeous and you make some of us want to be better. Thanks for being real!
You are an inspiration ❤️ all the love and support for you! I feel you completely ❤️
We are with you Anna, you aren’t alone on your journey.
Anna, I haven’t gone through some of the things you’ve had to deal with. I do fully understand the fear related to your size. I’ve had drs that focus on my weight. I’ve either found a different dr or worked thru the weight discussion with more open drs. In the long run I’ve found the knowledge helps reduce the fear. You’ll at least know what you’re dealing with and able to make a plan. I go to the dr with a list symptoms (along with when the symptoms occur) and a list of questions. Just writing it down helps organize your thoughts and can guide a discussion. If the dr doesn’t listen, you’re seeing the wrong dr. Being prepared helps you and the dr determine where to start diagnosing your your problem.
I really believe knowledge is power. I’ve even gone online to watch a surgery that I knew needed to be done (shoulder replacement). Just make sure you review the credentials of the dr/ surgeon ( search resources for info about the drs background, training and any reviews. Also ask friends or any nurse you may know). Use websites that are reputable.
As someone who has a chronic illness it is scary and it sucks. What has helped me is watching people like you on youtube. Your positivity has been a comfort for me. You may have put on a brave face that day and not felt great physically and mentally but your video's made me happy. I hope you can get back some of what you gave out. I wish you luck and strength. My experience has been the doctor's don't always know the answers. I fought for years to be heard when the medical tests didn't show what was wrong. Your voice is your strength so don't be afraid to tell them to look again. Forgive my rant and good luck.
My prayers for you Queen🙏🏼. I rebuke all sickness. Sending you a big hug and much love. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sending you so much love. I’m chronically I’ll and know just how scary it is to look for a diagnosis. You are in my prayers. You are strong.
You've got this, Anna. You are so intelligent to recognize these things, I wish everyone had your level of self awareness and introspection. You will get through these trials stronger than ever and we're here to support you.
Anna, sorry that you feel this way! Don't let the noise of fear restrict you from the knowledge to keep you intune with yourself. You've kept us captive watching your vids and how you love to share your journeys/ experiences to others. Be encouraged to move forward while forging a *NEW* journey to hope, healing, and peace of mind. Bless you Anna ! May God continue to give you the love,courage and answers you need .
Just keep in mind that allergies can lead to severe chronic illness. My dust mite allergies led to adult asthma, eczema and stomach problems, and deadly anaphylaxis if I take anti-inflammatories. It's not "just" allergies. Allergies are serious, but they are also very treatable, and you can easily help reverse a lot of the problems they cause. It really does sound like you might have allergy issues and you just need to get tested and treated properly. On the plus side, allergy testing is kinda interesting and fun. Good luck!!!
This right here! ^^ Also, keep in mind that some thing aren't "allergies" per se, as they don't cause a histamine reaction. You can also have a body that "reacts" to certain things. I get crazy congestion with a meal, or in the wind, or when exposed to smoke, or dust. Tested negative to every allergy. Doc comes in and says "well, you have Vasomotor Rhinitis." I asked him what that was and he says "well, you are easily irritated." Um, ok, but what does that have to do with my sinuses?! But, it makes sense. My body is hyper reactive to those things without it being a histamine reaction. Recently, I've discovered I'm reactive to two incredibly common ingredients -- Sodium Laurel Sulfate in soap and toothpaste, and Xanthum Gum, or any similar thickener. And that stuff is EVERYWHERE. If I use a toothpaste with SLS, my entire mouth will blister. If I use a shampoo with it, my skin itches on my back particularly, and we aren't even going to talk about the reaction I had when I used the wrong soap on more sensitive areas! I basically had to test for those reactions myself because my doctors just said "Um, wow." So, I did an elimination test and found products that are safe. Our bodies change as we grow older, and I've found that having Covid has made many of my reactions worse, because my immune system has stayed on fire. Best of luck finding a diagnosis and thank you for sharing your journey!
Dust mite allergies suck! I also have eczema which has flared up big time this winter in ohio!
So true 😔 I developed allergic asthma after I got a dwarf bunny. It was so bad that I had to get rid of the poor bun. But 2 years later I'm still using symbicort daily because all my other allergies are so emphasized now. Allergy tests are fun lol my whole arm looks like rows of mole hills 😄
I thought I was looking in a mirror! This is exactly me. I am dealing with this fear if knowing as well. I’m not afraid to go, I’m afraid of the result. You are so brave to do this and say it out loud.
You may be the inspiration I need to do this as well.
Sooo scared. God give me strength. I hope things work out for you. You are strong to say it out loud.
Wish you the best. I’m right there with you.
Whatever happens don't let them take away your hope of a good outcome. They don't know everything.
Oh hunny. You beautiful courageous woman. I have only recently found you. But what a beautiful breath of fresh air you are. You can do this. Not knowing is far scarier than knowing. I promise. You have got this.
I’m SO happy for you!!! You know why? Because what you experienced on your break was a REVELATION!!! Be scared. That’s normal! You may hear something that you don’t want to hear but your determination is going to keep you moving forward! You want to be able to help someone else who may be suffering in silence but are too afraid to seek help! I’ll go with you to the Dr if you need me too! We can do this ok? We want you to be ok. It’s ok to be scared! It’s ok to not be ok!
Please just DON'T worry... You have such a beautiful spirit God's blessings
I'm sending all the love & positive energy your way. Remember We Survive Our Worst of Days & Today is No Different 🥰 Love You
Anna knowledge is power! Whatever your problem when you have the true facts YOU are in the driving seat and not your fear of the unknown. You've made the decision and that's your first step in taking back your power. Whatever you find, good or bad, I know you will face it with courage xx💖xx 🇬🇧
I've had cancer before, and it can be truly terrifying the back and forth of knowing you need to know, but also not wanting to. Especially as a bigger woman, it can be awful. You have to be your own advocate, and listen to your gut. It is so importent as an individual to value your intuition in those instances, but to be responsible about it. You got this Anna!!!
You have taken that first terrifying step. Stop worrying about what people think of you that will be your second and best step ever. God Bless You.
You’re so smart. Hope all is well. Your community here is very supportive and loving.
Oh man, my heart breaks for you. I wish you peace and happiness. You are such a help and source of light for so many and you deserve it to be reflected back to you
I understand. I have a pile of autoimmunes and some days they all pile on. As to the size thing, I understand that, too. I believe HAES has a list of doctors who are not just focused on size/weight. I came across it just the other day. You live in a major city and there should be some on there. We're behind you, Anna. Please keep us updated. You are loved.
I feel this so much. I am pretty much in the same boat when it comes to going to the Dr. My Dr is amazing and she doesn't dwell on my weight too much but I have such a fear of going because every time I go it seems like they find something else wrong. I haven't had my medications filled in the last six months because fear kicked in and I canceled my Dr appointments in June and just haven't gone back. I know I should go. I know I need to go. But I also know I've gained 20lbs. And I know my medical issues that I want to ignore are still present. The thought of going to a Dr and getting a weigh in and blood work and pap results just scares the living hell out of me. So I know exactly where you're coming from. I'm sorry you're suffering but I'm proud of you for doing something I can't even bring myself to do. I'm hoping, praying and crossing my fingers that the Dr you decide on is absolutely amazing and will help you with a PROPER diagnosis. Ignore the "DM doctors" they might mean well but they aren't licensed to diagnose you. Good luck love!
I had dermographism several years ago - they never figured out what cause it. We ended up blaming it on stress =- I was writing my master's thesis at the time. Every night precisely at 8 pm I broke out in head-to-toe hives. If a doc treats you badly - find another doc - you aren't getting married to them.
I currently have dermographism and noticed it the beginning of Summer 2020, do you still have it and any advice or tips you can give me??
@@amypederson6646 hey I've dealt with this on and off for years. Mine has is always linked to my anxiety but thankfully one simple Zyrtec helps so much.
No no no- you have to go see a Dr.- don't wait to long. You'll get better. We're here for you!! Much support and concern
Ohhh dear one, ask yourself...when was the last time you felt good? Then go to the dr for a complete blood work up. You're gonna be ok, and you are doing the right thing!
I promise, knowing the 'why' will make you find peace of mind. It's often the wondering 'what if' and all the self-diagnosis that makes it so tough! I know it is scary...trust me, I have been there! You got this!! I promise...you got this!! Sending you healing vibes.
Let's do this together! I will take the lead in my life too!
I'm in.
Me too
Ive worked in the healthcare industry for the last 18 years, non medical care delivery. But I can tell you that you are definitely not alone with your feelings of fear and concern and many many many many many folks over the years have r
confessed the same feelings to me while seeking the courage to get medical treatment. Stay strong, And Look forward to the future awaiting you.
You're so amazing. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. My heart breaks for you. We all have to admit we need help at one point or another. And you will come out stronger on the other side. Sending you lots of light, love, and prayers.
Please please pursue medical help. There are new medications that really help with allergies…trust me a life long allergy sufferer. And I had stomach issues and 1 year later the rare ulcer I had has cleared up and I’m fine. There are wonderful doctors out there that will help. I pray you find a medical team that will get you feeling great soon!
I just want to give you a hug right now. I applaud you for realizing that you need to see what is going on. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers sweetie ❤
I have autoimmune diseases. I have R.A., Sjogrens, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Fibromyalgia. My first symptoms started in my 20’s and this was in the form of chronic hives. I was the sickest child in my family growing up and always got strep throat in my teens.
Now I am 68 with not always feeling good. Just wanted to let you know this because you had mentioned that you have an autoimmune disorder as well.
It’s livable as I have endured. You are going to be okay.
And………..THIS IS A BIG AND………doctors don’t always know what ails you. Just know that you may never know and just chalk it up with autoimmune disorder disease.
Sending love to you beautiful♥️
2-3 years ago I started developing some new allergies and finally now I've decided to seek professional help and get allergy tests and blood tests done. Hope you're feeling better 💖
You are so brave...I will pray for you. You deserve to feel good and have a good life. May God bless you!
You talked about what happened to your mom and sister, but what if you pushing without trying to look into it further is one of those "not the best decision" moments (not that I'm acting like I know anything about them but rather, what if you pushing yourself so hard without answers is only hurting you further). You don't have to be defined by anything you potentially have or don't have. I've been watching you off and on for years now and you're somebody I've kinda looked up to, not idolized necessarily, but you're a strong woman and you know what you've got to do for yourself and you do it. You get shit done, and you aren't going to automatically lose all of that if you do end up having something serious. We all support you, I just hope that whatever you decide to do about this situation will be helpful for you in the long-run even if it's painful at first ❤️
Have someone you trust go with you to be a buffer! To help explain. You can do it! Your fans is supporting you!!!
I know your scared but knowing is so much better then not knowing and know it may be catching whatever it is early and all the new technology you will be just fine. You are young and I feel that you are strong and I know that you can get through anything!!!! Be encouraged darling and know that God is with you all the time. I will pray for your strength in all of this!!!
You got this Anna!!! It's scary right now but I promise you regardless you're gonna feels so much relief once you know for sure what's going on with your body. YOU GOT THIS🙏🏾
You are not alone. It’s so easy to just ignore or push past your body telling you something is wrong especially being big because of the drama with doctors. And it must be especially hard with your past “trauma” for your mom and sister’s chronic illnesses. But in your journey to be a better you means dealing with the mental AND the physical. You got this and I really hope it’s something as simple as allergies.
I want to give you a hug! I suffer from idiopathic urticaria and I understand how you feel. Don’t let fear stop you from getting the answers you need. My hives swelled up in my face so badly that at first they thought I was having a stroke. And although with idiopathic urticaria you aren’t given a real reason and least it’s given me some comfort
I did the same
Thing two years ago, so scary but it made me feel so much better. I just went for my physical last week, and it’s so liberating to feel in control. Proud of you for taking these steps! Love you!
I hope you will document your search for answers. You will be helping so many that are suffering in silence…all because of fear.
I understand not wanting to know. Same for me. What helped me was realizing that not knowing doesn't mean its not there. Not knowing could keep us from getting help. I also understand the pride in knowing i don't have any weight related issues because that allowed me to think i was ok in my size. we need to know what we need so that we can get what we need. You are an amazing person and so positive toward others. I want you to treat yourself with the same kindness you treat others with. You deserve the support too!!!
Anna you got this! You are very courageous young woman. You are doing the right thing by seeing the Dr. Wishing you all the best and a speedy recovery.
The trip was more necessary than you knew it would be. The reason was different than you thought but all things work together for our good. Im glad you will soon have answers and you won't be afraid of the unknown ...praying you will be ok 🙏💜😘 🤗
Ask for an allergy panel and make sure they check for a soy allergy!! It pops up out of nowhere…hives, stomach issues, itching all over body.
You are so amazing! This is a reality for so many people thinking if I do not know than I don't have to worry. You will find the strength to do what is necessary for you and sometimes not knowing is worse than the actual diagnosis. Prayers for you!!!
Anna I understand where you are coming from. I'll be praying for you and your journey.
I hear you. Please keep us updated. Sending love, prayers strength & hugs 💜
Knowing is better than not knowing I promise I was diagnosed with a
rare disease called Familial Partial Lipodystrophy Type 1. There is no cure and it effects multiple body systems, but if you know you can try to extend your life and possibly even learn to live a better life.
I pray that you find out what is going on and tackle it all like a boss.
Ohhhhhh yessssssss! This is meeeee! I'm terrified to know if something is seriously wrong. I know it's not logical. I know it's counterintuitive. Thank you for saying this.
Love, support, prayers and uplifting thoughts for you. You are so brave about so many things that terrify me. Like so many others leaving comments, I wish I could go with you and hold your hand through all of it. Just know there are hundreds of people on your side, some carrying fewer troubles and some carrying more. We are with you and truly want you to succeed in figuring this out.
You know what needs to be done. Your getting yourself worked up emotionally unnecessarily. Seek out a good couseler psychologist to help you organize your feelings and thoughts. You are beautiful.
I am so sorry to hear that you are not well and that your vacation were anything but a resting time.. I fully understand your fear to go to the doctors and oh boy, google is NOT helping at all at that point. Somehow I feel that even though there is a fear to go to the doctors and perhaps finding out that there is something wrong can sometimes be better than to sit at home and worry about all of the different things that it might be. I will think of you and I look forward to hearing that your feel better soon ❤❤
