    I’m Daniela I have been diagnosed with several chronic illnesses. I look normal, I do things, have a job and go on vacations, but inside I'm sick. I live with several chronic illnesses and they affect my daily life. I am in constant pain and struggle with brain fog. Although I'm constantly looking for new doctors, new treatments and solutions I have also accepted my illnesses and do not let them define me. In this channel, I share a little bit of everything. Information about my conditions, my travels, my dreams, my journey, my life. This channel is about life through chronic illness lenses. Come and join me and see what I'm up to lately.

    Your doggie is adorable! I personally hate the question “If you don’t work- what do you do all day?” Having a chronic illness is more work for me than when I was actually working. When you work, you can leave your work at the office. I can’t leave my body at home and go out and have a pain free day. I do all the bills, order groceries for delivery or pick up, clean the house (slowly- a little every day), and take care of my several illnesses. It’s a lot!

      Thank you for the compliment on my doggie! 🐾 And I hear you loud and clear on the frustration with that question. It's such a misconception that not working equals having loads of free time or an easy life. Dealing with chronic illness is a full-time job in itself, and it's relentless. You're doing an incredible job managing everything, and most importantly, taking care of your health. It's a lot to juggle, and it requires immense strength and resilience. Keep taking it one day at a time. 💪💖

    Hello, from belgium, slow living is now a day’s become a hype. But if have fibro is realy not a choose let you body by your compass. Nice you have a fire place. We have invest in a woodstoof the warm en watchting the flams is so relaxing comfort.Beter then any kine,osteopaat,food supplement, advice from psycholoog. The invest was realy the best thing. About your foot frusreting nothing to see in the scan. Last theme a did a brain scan for my dissiness nothing to see everthing fine as always. Give me hoop you can do a vacation trip to Thailand.

      Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with slow living, especially in the context of managing fibromyalgia. It's true that for many, adopting a slower pace isn't just a lifestyle choice but a necessity dictated by the body's needs.
      I'm sorry to hear about your frustrations with scans not showing any specific issues despite the symptoms you're experiencing. It's challenging when you're seeking answers, and everything comes back "normal."
      Thank you for the kind words about the fireplace; it truly is one of those simple pleasures that can make a big difference. I hope you continue to find moments of comfort and relaxation amidst the journey with fibromyalgia.
      Wishing you strength and many more peaceful moments by your wood stove. Groetjes.

    It seems like you’re feeling a little better. That’s great news! Love your little black dress. I’m all about soft comfortable clothes with fibro.. sometimes I can’t even stand wearing jewelry.. it’s not that it’s painful.. I just don’t like the feel of it against my skin… Fibro brings on crazy symptoms..
    I’m glad your insurance came through. That was so scary… just waking up and knowing someone was in your home.. I’m sorry that happened to you.

      Thank you.♥️ I know what you mean about clothes and jewellery. I hardly wear anything nice anymore because everything makes me uncomfortable. I am starting to feel better but this vlog was filmed a week before I got sick. I need time to edit them and so you guys get things a week or two after the fact. Friday's vlog will be the thick of me being sick. Just remember I am not sick again is just that the vlogs are a bit behind real-time.

      Every aspect of video production takes a considerable amount of time. From selecting the right cuts to ensuring the music harmonizes with the visual elements, to colour correction, sound enhancement, adding voiceovers, and optimizing lighting, each step is very time-consuming. While not every video takes such extensive detail, some are far more labour-intensive than they might initially seem. I know my videos could be a lot better and I know I could do a lot better but I am trying to embrace the idea that getting it done is better than waiting forever for perfection.

    It's never a good morning, its very rare i will drag myself out of bed before lunchtime, and depends when i get out of bed 😂

      @tt_looking_glass  3 місяці тому

      It sounds like mornings are a real challenge for you, and you're not alone in feeling that way. Finding the energy and motivation to start the day, can be tough. It's okay to listen to your body and start your day at a pace that feels right for you. The important thing is to find small moments or activities that bring a bit of joy or comfort, even if it's in the afternoon. Here's hoping for more of those rare good mornings and a gentle reminder to be kind to yourself, no matter what time you find yourself starting the day. 😊

    I used to work for an infectious disease doctor. Bartonella causes bottom of foot pain that is worse is the morning. A good test like from Igenex is how I was diagnosed. Labcorp and Quest will miss it bc it needs to be a microscopic test.

    • @tt_looking_glass
      @tt_looking_glass  4 місяці тому +1

      Wow, that's really interesting, thank you for sharing! I didn't know about Bartonella being specifically linked to foot pain, especially worse in the morning. It's so important to know about these things when navigating symptoms and seeking answers. Thanks again for the tip, I will look into it. Are those tests that can be ordered online?
