    Oh no... that's horrible. My cat had cancer and I had to put her down two years ago and I still cry.. please don't apologize for crying. It's so painful. Sometimes losing your loving non judgemental pet is as bad as losing a human. It is very traumatic and I understand .. my heart goes out to you. I'm so sorry..

      I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. It’s heartbreaking to lose a pet, and I completely understand how you still feel that pain years later. Thank you for your kind words and for reminding me that it’s okay to cry and grieve. Pets are such loving and non-judgmental companions, and their loss is very traumatic. Your understanding and empathy mean a lot to me. Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience.

    And isn't it CRAZY how we have to fight the medical "care" system for the proper treatment because Western medicine says we aren't eligible for treatment until AFTER significant damage is already done? It's terrible. It drives me nuts too. I'm so sorry you're going through that along with everything else right now too. 😢 My heart goes out to you.

    All I can offer in comfort for the loss of your beloved little Kayla is that when we invite a pet to share our lives and our home is that your little dog is one of the truly fortunate ones who had a wonderful life with a loving, caring, wonderful family. I will keep this comment brief because I see how busy and distraught you are right now. I thought I was having a bad month but it was nothing compared to what you’ve been through. Thank the Lord that July will be over in just a few more hours! Just know that I’m so pleased about your sponsorship arrangement and I hope it’s just the first of many to come.

    I am so sorry for your loss. Dogs are just like family. You were a good mother to Kayla. I can tell you are a good person. I know how you feel about being on disability and unable to work. I am a Registered Nurse and do not miss it. Lol. But I still want to keep my license. I suffer with osteoarthritis all over. Had 3 surgeries on my left foot because of it. Have herniated disc in my lumbar sacral, cervical spine with degenerative joint disease. I wish I could do something on UA-cam, but I do not know what to do. My brain doesn't seem clear a lot. It's hard finding good doctors and fighting the insurance companies for certain work ups. My daughter likes to go with me sometimes to certain doctors appointments because I do get treated better when she is with me. They used to think my pain symptoms were exaggerated or drug seeking until the MRI of my back showed positive. I have certainly been misdiagnosed many times and had to fire doctors. Being a nurse, I have observed men getting treated better and more professional than women.

      Jackie, thank you so much for your kind words about Kayla. Losing her has been incredibly tough, and your support means a lot to me. Dogs truly are like family, and their loss leaves a huge void in our hearts.
      I can relate to your struggles with disability and health issues. It sounds like you’ve been through so much with your osteoarthritis, surgeries, and spine problems. It’s so frustrating when our bodies don’t cooperate and finding good medical care becomes a battle. I completely understand the struggle with insurance companies and the importance of having someone with you at appointments for better treatment.
      I know exactly what you mean about keeping your license. I pay $2000 every year to the Ontario College of Midwives to keep mine, so it's not something I'm willing to lose that quickly either
      As for UA-cam, you should totally give it a try! You have so much valuable experience and insight to share, especially as a nurse dealing with chronic health issues. You might find it helpful to watch my very first video-it’s the finest example of brain fog, and it might help you feel more comfortable starting out. Don’t worry about your brain feeling foggy-just start with small, manageable steps and see where it takes you. You really just need to start, and all you need is your phone.
      If you need any support or advice for starting your channel, I’m here for you. The more support we offer each other and the more awareness we can spread, the better. Thank you for sharing your story and for your ongoing support. Stay strong, and know that you’re not alone in this journey.

    I was watching your video with the Olympics opening ceremonies on my tv in the background, and I couldn’t hear any of those background noises you were talking about in your video, but I heard you loud and clear. 👍🏼
    Sorry to hear about the passing of your beloved dog. 16 years is a full life for dogs…It’s a shame that a dog’s lifespan is 1/7 that of a human’s…that’s very thoughtful/heartfelt of you to let her be at her home for her passing…I think most humans would want to live their remaining days on earth in their home (hospice) rather than at a hospital or nursing home.
    I’d like to address your AS diagnosis, now that you (we) have more info with your test results…..Remember, “you” and only you have to be at peace with your body to heal yourself and move on with your life as best as possible…..if your test results don’t show you have AS, then you should accept that and move on to other forms of therapy/treatment…don’t put all your eggs in one basket, meaning don’t rely solely on prescription meds to save your health…homeopathic therapies can reduce and slow the progression of pain/chronic illnesses….I know you’re well versed in what I’m about to say, but I’ll say it to make a point; Your mental health is just as important as your physical health, and should be managed with the same priority we put on our physical health…from just listening to you in this video, and looking at the anguish on your face throughout the vid, you have been thru a lot mentally, and that in itself will definitely exacerbate pre-existing physical pain….Having a solid diagnosis on any bodily affliction helps us better cope, and we can’t fault anyone who wants to pursue and seek the truth, but there comes a point in our pursuit that the continued pursuit will turn detrimental to our health/well being…I think you’re at this point.
    I like to share something with you, even though it may be anecdotal, it shows how “less can be more” in someone’s life….My Dad is in his last years of his life..he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s 8 years ago…he was on home hospice for the past 28 months, but he’s not on hospice anymore…we didn’t think he’d last a few months…his condition/health has stabilized….we’ve been giving him excellent care at his home, and that goes a long way to lengthening a persons life, but some other factor was just as important in getting him more stable….. before hospice, he was being prescribed 9-10 different meds by 4 different doctors (neurologist, psychiatrist, cardiologist, internal medicine), and he was progressively getting worse, but while on hospice, the hospice Dr started removing his meds off of his prescription list…that Dr ended up removing 90% of those meds, and it literally turned out to be a blessing in disguise….his health started improving…he started to get his voice back…He started eating more…he can now do more physical therapy than he ever had in the past 3 years…..tomorrow, he’ll be 85…none of us in our family thought he’d make it past 83….I’d like to think the moral of this story is that many times in life, what we think is helping us may be doing the exact opposite.
    Take care, Daniela! 🙏

      Thank you for your thoughtful comment and for sharing your father's story. I'm glad to hear that reducing his medications helped improve his quality of life-sometimes, less really can be more.
      I completely understand the importance of finding a balance between conventional and homeopathic treatments. It’s true that mental health plays a crucial role in managing physical health, and I appreciate your concern for my well-being.
      Regarding my spondyloarthritis diagnosis, it’s a complicated situation. This condition often progresses slowly, and inflammation can be difficult to detect through imaging. My diagnosis is based on meeting specific criteria, not just imaging results. The challenge I face here in Canada is not about the diagnosis itself but about the qualification for treatment due to the high cost of medication and the nature of our government-funded healthcare system.
      I fully recognize that medication is not the only path to managing this condition, and I have been exploring all avenues that might help. However, if there's a chance that a particular treatment could significantly improve my quality of life, it's understandable why I would want to pursue it. If I were in Brazil, the medication would be covered by the government, which has even led me to consider moving there temporarily to access the treatment.
      Your advice on not putting all my eggs in one basket is well taken, and I do believe in the power of a multifaceted approach to health. But finding effective treatment, whether through medication or other therapies, is vital for me to manage my pain and improve my life.
      I also want to acknowledge the emotional distress I’m experiencing right now. Losing Kayla has been incredibly tough as she was more than just a pet; she was my emotional support animal. This grief is certainly affecting my condition and overall well-being. I understand that things will be flared up, and while I do pay attention to my emotional health, grieving is a slow process.
      Thank you again for your kind words and understanding. Your support means a lot to me as I navigate these challenges. Take care, and please share any further insights or advice you may have.

    Dear friend, my heart hurts for you. Dogs are far beyond pets. It's bad enough for our precious ones to die but another to make the dreaded decision. Amongst the deepest grieving I've gone through. I'm so, so so sorry.
    Sorry, too, about your back and everything else. Medical protocol can be brutal and harsh. Seems we almost have to be on death's door to get what we need. I feel for you and your inability to work. Same here. Mentally destroying.
    July has been challenging here in Croatia, too. Frozen shoulder is beyond the pale. We've had one day below 30C in four weeks with drought. Yet very thick humidity. Ugh.
    I've been thinking of you a LOT. Life is terribly hard, especially with those of us who live chronic pain with only minutes at a time of relief. Often feels there's no escape which is overwhelming.
    You will have brighter hours, brighter days. But unfortunately we must also face the less good. Praying for more better days than bad. ❤ Are you able to go camping soon and get recharged in nature?

      Dear friend, my heart aches for you too. You’re right, dogs are so much more than just pets-they’re family. Making that dreaded decision is among the deepest griefs we can experience. I’m so sorry for your loss.
      It’s frustrating how harsh medical protocols can be. It often feels like we have to be at our worst to get the help we need. I feel for you and completely understand the mental toll it takes.
      July sounds like it's been brutal for you in Croatia. Dealing with a frozen shoulder on top of the heat and humidity must be exhausting. Life with chronic pain can indeed feel overwhelming, with so few moments of relief.
      I’ve also been diagnosed with a frozen shoulder. I’ve been having issues with my left shoulder for a while now, and initially, they thought it was bursitis, but now my physiotherapist says it’s a frozen shoulder. I’ve been doing physiotherapy and massage, but I can’t do the at-home exercises because of the pain. I’m already in so much pain that I can’t bring myself to add more to do the exercises. I feel you.
      Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to go camping as my pain and fatigue have been more than I can cope with. Plus, I’m still dealing with issues at home with one of my kids and feel I can’t leave at the moment. The long drives to the secluded places I love have been impossible due to my back pain and gas prices. For now, I’m spending time in my garden, picking wildflowers in nearby fields, and having the occasional picnic. I miss my escapades soooo much.
      Thank you for thinking of me and for your prayers. Let’s both hold on to the hope of brighter days ahead. Sending you lots of love and strength. ❤️

    Oh darling I am so very sorry for your loss. Pets break our hearts, all we can do is remember them for their love and comfort she brought to you. The rash on your chest is normal for those of us who have autoimmune diseases. It tends to get more red and angry when you are upset out having another flare. It was the first thing my rheumatologist notice on my first appointment with her!! This video was done perfectly to be honest i didn’t hear your phone or doors banging. 😂 O am looking forward to seeing your new video. I have exactly the same problem with my spondylitis. The MRI report was inconclusive re Spondyloarthritis hence no treatment for me either. My back is deteriorating further up and my neck but there is nothing they can do. I had a spinal fusion of L4,5 and S1 11 years ago and not that I’d playing up to. It’s baffling to think that they actually have to wait for it to fuse itself before they do anything🥵 wish they could have one day off the pain we go through. You are so incredibly brave Danielle I take my hat off to you!! Stay strong and little Kayla is happy and free from pain watching down over you. 😇

    Rare disease is very difficult. Makes me want to isolate because people don't understand what I'm going through and that's best case. Usually, it is being misunderstood or mistaken for something else which destroyed my life.

      I completely understand where you're coming from. Living with a rare disease is incredibly isolating, especially when people don't understand what we're going through. It’s so frustrating when our conditions are misunderstood or misdiagnosed, and it can feel like it’s ruining our lives.

    People have no idea what it means to lose a pet. Having to make he decision to have your loved animal put to sleep is almost the toughest thing ever.. I'm a grown man but when I lost my little chihuahua girl in 2018 I just cried and cried for days. It took me nearly a year before I could say I stopped crying at times. Watching you talk about your girl has brought it back to me and again I am crying for my little Poppy 6 years later. You have to let the grief out as much as you can...or it will feed your fibro with pain

I can relate to crying for days on end; it feels like a part of you is missing. I'm so sorry about your little Poppy. Talking about Kayla helps me process the pain, and I hope it helps others too. You're right about letting the grief out; bottling it up only makes things worse, especially with fibro. Sending you lots of love and understanding. 💖

    Oh Daniela, I am so very sorry for your loss of your precious fur baby Kayla! She was SO ADORABLE and I know she knows how much she was loved!! My heart breaks for you. I was crying right there with you. My daughter had to have her precious kitty, Dexter, put to sleep in 2021. It was heart-wrenching! He was lethargic and losing weight and when she took him to the vet, long story short, they found cancer throughout his body. That day little sweetie had to be put to sleep. My daughter struggled so long with his loss. He helped her get through many rough times in her life. Our fur babies are so precious. I am so so sorry to hear what you have been going through! My husband has been struggling so much with his pulmonary fibrosis and it is breaking my heart seeing this. I, too, am having bad flares with my costochondritis. The pain is spreading now and some days I cannot do anything. Stress makes everything worse Daniela. Please know you are in my prayers and I am wishing you well. I am so sorry too to hear that you cannot get the treatment that will help avoid worsening of your condition. I do not understand this! I cannot imagine the frustration you are experiencing. I am sending many prayers, hugs, and love to you! Thank you for sharing! 🙏🤗❤‍🩹💔💝❤ Geri

I finally saw a new doc with my insurance, I hadn’t been able to see anyone for 6 months until workers comp settled. I was soo nervous and she turned out to be so nice and I felt heard, got referred back to physical therapy.

    Can't help thinking no biologics recommended isnt good news. Immu modulator supplements might suffice especially in the case of an eye infection possible. I fear pressure of advertisers. Orher channels speak of could wait till a slight stability of your condition. You should be compensated on your channels merits regardless. A sponsor that wouldn't change anything and mindful of your situation . You're already putting in the work. Somebody to be above sll else gentle and respectful of your situation.

      Thank you, James, for your continued support and for sharing your thoughts. I appreciate your concern about the lack of recommendation for biologics. It's definitely a challenging situation, and I haven’t been offered immunomodulator supplements either, which adds to the complexity of managing my condition.
      The pressure from advertisers and sponsors can be tricky, but I’m committed to ensuring that any partnerships I engage in are respectful and considerate of my health journey. I'm sure the advertisers would be understanding, but ultimately, it's my own perfectionism and unwillingness to accept my limitations that can be my worst enemy.
      I completely agree that having a sponsor who understands my situation and is gentle and respectful is crucial. It’s important for me to maintain the integrity of my channel and continue providing genuine content.
