If Jacquie reads this: About a month ago my Grandma who lives with me caught me watching you and asked who you were. So I explained and showed her some entries from your channel. Well she was hooked every day asking how is Jacquie, did Jacquie have a video and she has to watch with me now. She's pretty much adopted you as a honorary Grandaughter at this point. She asked me yesterday if she could send you a get well card and I had to explain we didn't have your address and we shouldn't try to get it because we're basically strangers to you and that would be creepy. I told her I could put a comment with the vlog instead and I think she understands that the virtual world works a little differently (she still thinks to do things like it's 1950!). So to keep my promise - Grandma Betsy (age 84) says Hello, Get Well Soon and she's thinking of you and praying for you.
Sorry y'all, this video was up earlier today but then I could no longer access it. The title was being glitchy as were a few other things, so I took it down and re-uploaded it. Happy Friday!
Rom 8:18 - "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." 2 Cor 4:17-18 - "Our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal."
I really feel your pain as I’m currently battling with 4.5 weeks of impactation and it is SO painful! I cannot describe how frustrating it is when both nothing works and you just want to be at home! Sending you lots of love and I hope you were able to get some rest. It is good to cry when you get overwhelmed with emotions because you then can refocus and keep moving forward! 💕
I know everyone says there's nothing to be embarrassed about, the doctors are professionals, blah blah blah, but those people have not had the embarrassing tests done. You have handled all of this so well! All this extra stress definitely doesn't help with the process of trying to 💩.
I am so sorry that you are having a difficult time, my heart goes out to you, lots of prayers, hugs, and support heading your way, get well soon, you can do this!
I am not stuck in the hospital, but am frustrated with my medical situation as well. When you cried, I couldn't help but cry too. I'm so sorry you are having to go through all of this, and that you aren't out of the hospital yet. I am praying for you and sending you hugs.
You are so brave. And the amount of effort it takes to produce a video while you’re sick, especially with all the cool effects like groggy cam, you are so amazing. Thank you for sharing. It really does help me to be braver because you inspire me. And also to know it is okay to have emotions as a human!
You don't ever have to apologize for crying, being vunerable, or being emotional. That simply shows you're human. Will be praying for you. God has a plan :)
I'm so sorry Jaquie. It pained me to watch this video. Coming to the end of my nursing course I see clients who get to your point of pain, exhaustion and anxiety and all we can ever do is give you support and attempt to make you comfortable, but it's never easy for me because I want to do more. I'm glad to hear you are being treated well by the staff around you and all I can say to you is please stay strong, keep your faith and keep moving forward. Your viewers are behind you 110% and are rooting for you to overcome this hurdle and make it home soon. Thank you for taking the time out to edit these videos and keep us in the loop, I know I truely appreciate it, I never stop praying for you. Try to rest up (I know it's easier said than done in a hospital environment) and give Harlow some major snuggles when she's in next, you're in our thoughts!
It is perfectly, 100% OKAY to cry your eyes out if you want or need to! Go for it Jaquie, sometimes, meltdowns are a GOOD thing and after what you've been through and are STILL going through, what normal person wouldn't melt down every now and again! Everyone feels for you and what you're going through....love and light being sent your way from all of us!
I understand your frustration, I have a lot of problems with my stomach too. There have been many times when I haven’t been able to go the toilet for three weeks and I have looked like I have been pregnant, it is VERY painful, I have had problems with my stomach all my life, but all my pain medications makes it even worse ( I have Ehlers- Danlos) about two years ago I lost my bladder function (bladder paresis) so I have to use catheters to empty my bladder 5 times a day, it is really frustrating. But I am trying to eat different now, no milk and no meat just plant based food and my stomach is actually feeling a lot better, I never get bloated anymore. Anyway, I think you are a strong woman! Being chronically ill is hard, very hard. But you push through it somehow because that’s the life you have! I know I have been sick since I was 21 years old, it has been a struggle, but somehow it makes you a better person, more gentle, more thankful and more loving. Take care! A big hug from a sunny Sweden🇸🇪
It’s okay to not be okay sometimes! I’m so sorry things are rough, the times when you feel the most alone are the times God is holding you the tightest!
Im sitting in the heart critical care unit recovering from a heart catheterization. Im upset too. No family. I just want to say im praying for you and God is catching your tears. Hang in there. Use that heat on your belly. Im relating on so many levels. You are super loved. Im so happy you are sharing because im not so alone.
Jaquie, my heart (and belly) is aching with you! After a car accident my intestines burst and I had to have exploratory surgery and then removal of part of my intestines. I know your pain and wish I could take some of it for you. My son and husband send their love, too! We are rooting for you from PA!
Sweetie you're going to have to keep your bowels open before they become impacted. After is so very hard. Once you start moving again, keep up with the fiber, phsyllium husks in water, ground flax in water, anything with high fiber to counteract the meds, especially pain killers. You have to take the fiber every day without fail & drink tons of water. Prevention is far easier. Take it easy & I do hope you now have this under control.
It just breaks my heart that you're having such a rough time. I almost cried right along with you. I really hope you're able to go home soon. You're in my thoughts!
Your pre op joke cracked me up! I went to the ER about two months ago because I was severely constipated and when my hubby picked me up he asked what they said. I told him that they said I was full of shit! He said that he already knew that :P Always laugh when times get tough. You got this friend.
You are one of the strongest person I have ever seen. I had 6 brain surgeries and last time I spent 10 months in the hospital, I have chronic headaches, two chronic neurological diseases and It is hard to be in pain, it is hard to be sick, it is hard not being home, it is hard to not have answers and solutions. I know the feeling and I am sorry you are going through that .
I'm sorry Jaquie, I know it's hard.... And I know it hurts... But we believe in you 100% and will always support you. It will eventually get better, but it will take time. We love you
Hey beautiful - just stumbled over your video. I have had chronic constipation for a long time, multiple colonoscopy, slow transit tests etc.. evacuation is hard for me and painful. I’m going to sub to you and follow you.. I’m new to the tube and have only popped up a couple of videos, but I’m gonna make myself active on here.. our story’s do count - you take care and I hope to see another video saying that you have finally got relief x
ugh. it's so hard being stuck in the hospital. it's even worse when everything seems like one step forward, two steps back. i've been there and i feel you so hard. i hope this issue gets resolved so you not only feel better, but you can get home soon!!
please don't apologize for getting emotional!! Your feelings are completely valid. I'd be a complete mess in your position.. you are hella strong and you will get through this, just how you always get through it. 💕 I had a minor operation a few weeks ago and my stitches split open and I balled my eyes out for days.. as I packed my wound lol I watched some of your videos to give me strength bc I've never seen someone be so strong it such tough situations. I really look up to you
Hello Jaquie, I started seeing your videos a few days ago I was really impressed about how strong you are and how do you have to deal with your illnesses. I'm a medical student close to star the third year, which is the first year I will deal with patients and learn about how hospital treates them. I want to thank you for everything you share with us, because this helps me to understand all the struggle you have to deal with, and the support that people with chronic illnesses need. Personally I'm really interested about your gastroparesis, I promise I will do everything that I can to better understand it and try to help people with it when I finish university. Thank you, I will be following you all the way through your journey, I promise. Stay strong!!
I’m so sorry you’re frustrated. You’re so strong and keep on going. I understand the frustration and relate in a different sense. I keep needing toe surgeries and surgeries that keep me from walking. And it’s frustrating and hard to get driving lessons and a job. Keep up with the positivity and the love. I support you
So many people are praying for you, you’re never alone in what you’re going through. All of us just want to jump through the screen and give you a big (consensual) hug, and God is with you as well. Remember that your pain is valid but temporary, you got this!
Oh Sweetie.....I just want to give you the biggest hug. It breaks my heart to see you so uncomfortable, going through so many procedures and being in hospital so dang long! You are so Strong, so Brave, so Amazing . I haven't stopped thinking about and praying for you since yesterday. Much Love from So Cal. XOXO
So sorry that you are stuck in this situation, with nothing seeming to work :( I really hope that they find an answer ASAP ❤️ Please remember that you’re allowed to feel all the feelings and this too will pass (metaphorically and literally) x
I hope you know that we all are here for you Jackie. You are not a robot and a person would have to be insane to not cry after what you have been through. We all love you very much and understand if you need to cry, and it shows that you are very much human and I can never understand the pain your in, but we are always here for you! We are your camera to cry on
Severe impaction has happened to my daughter as well. After many hospital stays, procedures, etc. my daughter fills a 60cc syringe with Milk of Mag and shoots it down her feeding tube. She follows with 2 full syringes of warm water. She is regular now.
I am so sorry you are going through such a difficult time. Hang in there. As hard as it is, remember this is temporary, and they are going to find a way to help you. I am keeping you in my prayers, and sending lots of love!
I am so sorry... I really hope that you and your doctors can figure this out and you almost made me cry I support and love u so much you got this!! GOOD LUCK! WE LOVE U!
Omg I know I’m 7 months late, but I just want to give you a hug. I’ve been binge watching your channel thank you for you openness, this is very eye opening.
Jaquie you are not alone! Sending you big gentle hugs. Sometimes the frustrations need to come out and I’m so grateful that you’re willing to be vulnerable with your followers and show us we don’t always have to be “stoic”. There’s strength in being emotionally present. 💟💟💟
Sending all the good vibes to you and Judd. I hope you and the team can find a good way to navigate through this bump in the road. You're handling this like a champ!
I hope you feel better and I know everything will be ok. You have always been here for me (through your videos) and we (all your subscribers) are here for you in this hard time 💚
I don't want to press the (LIKE) because this is no fun for you. You look drained. I am frustrated for you. I hope your system can handle the stress of this procedure because I know something like this may not seem like a big deal to a lot of people but for someone with an immune issue it can take some time to heal. You're in my prayers.
I just wanted to say hi. Im a fellow EDS and POTS patient, and I love watching you. You're an inspiration to me, and I worry about you. I hope you are feeling better, and that they were able to solve your impaction.
It's heartbreaking to see you struggle & in pain 😥 It's more than okay to break down sometimes & your feelings are completely valid. That's what anyone in your situation would do. I am sending you lots of strength & faith for a solution to be near.. You are such a strong woman Jaquie. Never doubt your power. I hope that although we don't know each other personally, my words can be of comfort in some way. From one chronic illness warrior to another ❤️❤️❤️
Have they given a shot in the stomach to counter the constipation from meds? I've had like three (not at the same time...) of those shots when I have been very impacted. It's horrible cause it works right away and gives you the worst abdominal pain cause it causes your bowels to release. It's Methylnaltrexone. I am so sorry I have been through these painful awful procedures and tests and I am so so sorry. I always try anything I can but I tend to get impacted while inpatient cause I am not used to being there (even though I should be by now......). I'm going to be having esophageal procedure/surgery again soon. Last time they didn't have my PCA ready when I got back from surgery. I react to everything at the hospital too! Even the sheets! I guess that's Mast Cell for ya. Hugs to y'all! I am so glad the medicinal marijuana is helping and that they're letting you have it while inpatient! (love and hugs from California)
Hey Jaquie. I have had times like the crying in the hospital. I’ve had problems where nothing worked for my stomach pain and I felt like there was nothing left. I also have autism. Have trust in god it will be ok. Your doctor will come up with something, even if it doesn’t seem like it. I hope you’ll keep us updated when you can, but I know that is hard.
P.s. In regards to yesterday, I’ve had tons of procedures and 7 surgeries...but 1 of the worst decisions I made was to have an endometrial biopsy (while my endo-monster was flaring) @the office w/no prior warning or meds. I was given the choice of going to the hospital @a later date to be sedated, boy did I regret not doing that!!! Getting my tonsils out @22 wasn’t a blast either, but my endo pain & complications take the cake. You’re doing an amazing job lovely lady!!! Rooting you on from California.❤️
Aw honey..its okay to cry. You are doing so great. we are here to help you stay strong through this. we are so sorry nothing is working. I'm proud of you for still continuing to think positive even with all that's going on with you. All the love from your fans
Awww baby. Just seeing you in the hospital all the time breaks my heart. You’re a strong woman and I know you’ll be okay but I just keep praying things will get easier for you. You’ll be in my thoughts love. Xoxo
I hope you feel better soon I know how frustrating it is for meds to not work and to have to keep trying. But things work out in the end. Sending you hugs and well wishes.
Hope your pain is better and there is a new plan in place! You always remind us to be positive regardless of the circumstances, love that about you and your channel. Thank you for sharing your story! Take care!
Your expression when Judd says "like running a snake down a toilet"...LOL! I am so sorry you are struggling. Went to the ER for the second time in a week for a similar issue to yours. Hope we both get relief soon!
Hugs, yes there is plenty to be thankful for and you have such a great support system and that is definitely needed when you are stuck in the hospital, I know this cause I was in the hospital for 3 months and it was so frustrating and hard and I had my moments as well. I will keep you in my prayers and pray for a fast recovery so you can get home asap. Hang in there we all know your strong but even the strongest tree has a breaking point make sure to keep talking about what frustrates you and these moments are much needed for you emotionally and mentally so if a good cry eases some of your frustration then bring on the tissues :).
Dear Jaquie,I have been watching you for a good while now and I just wanted to let you know I am praying for you.I am so sorry you are suffering. I really empathize with you alot.I am 55 years old.I have been sick for the past year and a half with chronic neck and back pain(DDD with bulging and compressed discs)chronic migraines and stomach issues. My adult daughter,my 2 grandchildren and my 82 year old father live here together with my husband and me. My 14 year old granddaughter has muscular dystrophy and type I diabetes.My daughter has retinitis pigmentosa which severly effects her vision and my grandson is autistic.My father is in stage 4 prostate cancer. Watching you and your honesty and positivity really encourages me.I admire you and love how you are not afraid to talk about your faith. I am praying for you.It will be ok.
I am so very sorry for what you are going through. It breaks my heart to see you crying and in so much pain. I am going to pray for you. I actually have Lupus and chronic pancreatitis. I had a 2 surgeries several years ago involving my colon, causing me lots of pain & nausea. I was at a point that I wanted to give up but I'm a Christian and I started praying and had others praying. I can honestly say that prayer truly helped me. I know that your doctors will not give up until they figure this out. Please know that you have so many people praying for you and wishing you a quick recovery. If you begin to lose hope, just ask God to help you. I know that He will. Hang in there!
Jaq we are here for you! Crying is the best in this moment, its ok to cry, its ok to be frustrated. I hope you feel better soon, and if you would like to share the doctor's ideas. I'm sure we would love to hear them. Dont lose hope! Rooting for you and sending you all my love and positive energy from HK
Praying that you find some relief soon! I know it’s not easy to go through any of this. Hug Ellie extra tight and let it out. I know how frustrating it can be but you will come out on the other side stronger
You poor thing!! As someone that suffers from autoimmune issues, I understand some of your frustrations. I hope you find relief soon and are able to get out of there and get back home!
I got impacted back in 1980 after my abdominal hysterectomy. I went to ER and they did a hydrogen peroxide enema. The nurse had to dig it out with a finger. I said to her, If you'll give me a glove i can do that. " I never had problems again.
OMG Jacquie, just the title explained the whole video, I'm not gonna watch it yet because I'm a very sensitive individual and I know I'm gonna cry. Anyway do have a speedy recovery and keep on fighting girl and NEVER GIVE UP THE FIGHT!!!
Hey Jaquie! Haven't checked in on you for a few months and I gotta say, so happy to see that you put on a few and not by your stomach but your face! And even though hospital is probably wearing you out it's really nice to see you with some proper color in your face again! You go girl :)
Soft marshmallow hugs! You are doing fantastic seriously I honestly don’t know how you cope so gracefully! Praying for strength and relief for you. Hang in there your doing great!
Jaquie, I know how you are feeling - I too, suffer from gastroparesis, and am living with a feeding tube in my jejunum, having lost my stomach entirely. It's difficult, you try and stay hydrated, but, the gastroparesis combined with medications make constipation a constant and ongoing battle. I was last hospitalized in March. Please know, that you have a lot of people out there who care for you, and wish you nothing but the best. I'm so sorry that you are suffering so damn much.... You are very lucky to have your husband, your, family, and your fur baby to lean on. I'm praying that you finally catch a break, and start feeling better soon. Xx On the last video, you posed the question as to what painful procedures, some of us had, that were the most uncomfortable... for me, every tube exchange in IR, despite sedation, and the most recent painful procedure for me was last week with a nuclear stress test for my heart. ..the most pain, pressure, and pounding headache. It was just over 3 hrs total time. But, they found a defect in my right anterior vessel... now, I'm on a cardiac medicine. Sometimes, it seems like I can't catch a break, so, I know how you feel! Get better soon. Xx
Oh honey! You can cry if you want. there is nothing to be ashamed off. You ARE strong! You ARE doing well. You deal amazing with all of this (shit)! I am proud of you. I can't imagine how this must feel like. Just remember you everyday that you are not alone. We are here for you. ♥
My dear friend Jaquie, I'm so sorry to hear that things are not going well for you. I will pray for you and send good vibes your way in hope that things will be better
Oh my goodness. I am so sorry you are going through this. You have every right to cry, you have every right to scream and be pissed! You have been through so much!! I pray to god you find relief soon! Praying for you!
Please don’t be sorry, ever. You are fighting a battle that most people couldn’t begin to wrap their mind around. I know it doesn’t help right now but please try to remember you have an abundance of people that are sending positive, loving , healing vibes your way. 💗💗💗
I am new to your vlog it just appeared on my home page so I decided to check it out. I am going through some similar health issues and have been off work for 4 months with no end in sight. Being reminded that I am not alone and I am not the only one that is suffering has really helped me this morning. Thanks for sharing your story and your bravery. I will be sure to stop in and check on you again soon
My heart breaks for what you are going through. I live with Chronic pain too so understand your feelings and relate to a lot of what you are saying. I cried when you cried, you are such an amazing, strong and courageous lady, a real inspiration. I pray you will feel much better soon xxxx
I am so sorry you’re going through this. I will be praying that your doctors will know what to do and help you feel better. Have faith God is with you and I know that you will be better soon! Stay strong!
Have you had a milk & molasses enema? When I was a pediatric ER nurse, we had many kids with medical issues requiring enemas and this combo seemed to work!
Haven’t seen any new uploads, which I hope means you are resting and feeling a little better. Praying that this season would pass for you! Hang in there!
Just focus on how wonderful you are going to feel soon. It will be such a relief when this ends, and it will. You just don’t know how yet and that’s the hard part.
You have no idea how much it means to me that you post things like this. I felt so alone during my last hospital stay. The cafeteria refused to feed me because they didn't know what they could safely give me. So if my husband didn't bring it I didn't get food. No one does this with grace. Thank you for making me feel normal.
I'm sorry you're going through a rough time :(. I'm happy for you that your doctor has some other ideas to help get rid of the impact. I wish you all the best and just know we're all here to support you! Always sending you my thoughts and prayers to you and your family!
I'm sorry you are going through this. Stay strong and I am sure your medical team will figure out the best course of action now. I hope to see you feeling better soon. Thinking of you.
yup...right side smooths to help the pain. I admire your bravery and patients. thank God they will put you under. I worked at a hospice and had to do several disimpactions of patients and my dear you are amazing. and the fact you can smile thru this makes you my hero...
Hang tough jaq, you are small but you are mighty! You are always in my thoughts and prayers and I'm sending virtual hugs via youtube. (Never apologize for crying or being upset, if it helps to vent here DO IT. Lean on your army of supporters!)
God bless you, Jaquie. You are amazingly strong in so many ways, you inspire me so much. I have an autoimmune disease, I can relate to you and your feelings with being in a hospital. I cannot stand being away from home and my loved ones. I pray you are given the strength to get through all of the trials you are facing right now, and hope that your doctors continue to do all they can to help you get well again. You have such a big heart and are very brave to share your story with the world. Sending you love, prayers, hugs and healing vibes your way right now! 🙏🏼💕

Chronically Jaquie love You! Prayers
I genuinely panicked when i saw the odd title like " something happened o-o" Sending you lots of love and hugs from New Zealand
Chronically Jaquie I hope you get better soon
Chronically Jaquie I'll be sending prayers!!! Sorry you feel so bad girly. Hugs!
Chronically Jaquie how many surgeries have you had does Harlow go to the hospital with you

Lol "I'm so full of shit I need surgery for it" 😂 Hope this was the game changer for you and going home gets closer and closer 🙏🤗🌷

I'm so sorry Jaquie. It pained me to watch this video.

I understand your frustration, I have a lot of problems with my stomach too. There have been many times when I haven’t been able to go the toilet for three weeks and I have looked like I have been pregnant, it is VERY painful, I have had problems with my stomach all my life, but all my pain medications makes it even worse ( I have Ehlers- Danlos) about two years ago I lost my bladder function (bladder paresis) so I have to use catheters to empty my bladder 5 times a day, it is really frustrating.

I know I have been sick since I was 21 years old, it has been a struggle, but somehow it makes you a better person, more gentle, more thankful and more loving. Take care! A big hug from a sunny Sweden🇸🇪
Vad roligt att se en till från Sverige
It’s okay to not be okay sometimes! I’m so sorry things are rough, the times when you feel the most alone are the times God is holding you the tightest!
What wonderful words of comfort.💕
Im sitting in the heart critical care unit recovering from a heart catheterization. Im upset too. No family. I just want to say im praying for you and God is catching your tears. Hang in there. Use that heat on your belly. Im relating on so many levels. You are super loved. Im so happy you are sharing because im not so alone.
Jaquie, my heart (and belly) is aching with you! After a car accident my intestines burst and I had to have exploratory surgery and then removal of part of my intestines. I know your pain and wish I could take some of it for you. My son and husband send their love, too! We are rooting for you from PA!
I'm so sorry you're going through so much, I hope you will make a fast and full recovery soon.
Sweetie you're going to have to keep your bowels open before they become impacted. After is so very hard. Once you start moving again, keep up with the fiber, phsyllium husks in water, ground flax in water, anything with high fiber to counteract the meds, especially pain killers. You have to take the fiber every day without fail & drink tons of water. Prevention is far easier. Take it easy & I do hope you now have this under control.
It just breaks my heart that you're having such a rough time. I almost cried right along with you. I really hope you're able to go home soon. You're in my thoughts!
Never apologize for the tears when you need them to flow. We love you and support you in all you do ❤
Your pre op joke cracked me up! I went to the ER about two months ago because I was severely constipated and when my hubby picked me up he asked what they said. I told him that they said I was full of shit! He said that he already knew that :P Always laugh when times get tough. You got this friend.
You are one of the strongest person I have ever seen. I had 6 brain surgeries and last time I spent 10 months in the hospital, I have chronic headaches, two chronic neurological diseases and It is hard to be in pain, it is hard to be sick, it is hard not being home, it is hard to not have answers and solutions. I know the feeling and I am sorry you are going through that .
I wish I could hold you in my arms and comfort you, Jacquie. Hope today was better than yesterday.
I'm sorry Jaquie, I know it's hard....
And I know it hurts...
But we believe in you 100% and will always support you.
It will eventually get better, but it will take time.
We love you
Hey beautiful - just stumbled over your video. I have had chronic constipation for a long time, multiple colonoscopy, slow transit tests etc.. evacuation is hard for me and painful. I’m going to sub to you and follow you.. I’m new to the tube and have only popped up a couple of videos, but I’m gonna make myself active on here.. our story’s do count - you take care and I hope to see another video saying that you have finally got relief x
ugh. it's so hard being stuck in the hospital. it's even worse when everything seems like one step forward, two steps back. i've been there and i feel you so hard. i hope this issue gets resolved so you not only feel better, but you can get home soon!!
please don't apologize for getting emotional!! Your feelings are completely valid. I'd be a complete mess in your position.. you are hella strong and you will get through this, just how you always get through it. 💕 I had a minor operation a few weeks ago and my stitches split open and I balled my eyes out for days.. as I packed my wound lol I watched some of your videos to give me strength bc I've never seen someone be so strong it such tough situations. I really look up to you
Hello Jaquie, I started seeing your videos a few days ago I was really impressed about how strong you are and how do you have to deal with your illnesses. I'm a medical student close to star the third year, which is the first year I will deal with patients and learn about how hospital treates them. I want to thank you for everything you share with us, because this helps me to understand all the struggle you have to deal with, and the support that people with chronic illnesses need. Personally I'm really interested about your gastroparesis, I promise I will do everything that I can to better understand it and try to help people with it when I finish university. Thank you, I will be following you all the way through your journey, I promise. Stay strong!!
I’m so sorry you’re frustrated. You’re so strong and keep on going. I understand the frustration and relate in a different sense. I keep needing toe surgeries and surgeries that keep me from walking. And it’s frustrating and hard to get driving lessons and a job. Keep up with the positivity and the love. I support you
So many people are praying for you, you’re never alone in what you’re going through. All of us just want to jump through the screen and give you a big (consensual) hug, and God is with you as well. Remember that your pain is valid but temporary, you got this!
Oh Sweetie.....I just want to give you the biggest hug. It breaks my heart to see you so uncomfortable, going through so many procedures and being in hospital so dang long! You are so Strong, so Brave, so Amazing . I haven't stopped thinking about and praying for you since yesterday. Much Love from So Cal. XOXO
awe jaq you’re a champ and you’re so amazing! don’t apologize for being emotional. hopefully things fall into place and work out
So sorry that you are stuck in this situation, with nothing seeming to work :( I really hope that they find an answer ASAP ❤️ Please remember that you’re allowed to feel all the feelings and this too will pass (metaphorically and literally) x
I can't imagine how frustrating this is for you. The power in letting yourself cry and showing everything is inspiring. Keep up the good fight.
I hope you know that we all are here for you Jackie. You are not a robot and a person would have to be insane to not cry after what you have been through. We all love you very much and understand if you need to cry, and it shows that you are very much human and I can never understand the pain your in, but we are always here for you! We are your camera to cry on
Severe impaction has happened to my daughter as well. After many hospital stays, procedures, etc. my daughter fills a 60cc syringe with Milk of Mag and shoots it down her feeding tube. She follows with 2 full syringes of warm water. She is regular now.
I am so sorry you are going through such a difficult time. Hang in there. As hard as it is, remember this is temporary, and they are going to find a way to help you. I am keeping you in my prayers, and sending lots of love!
I am so sorry... I really hope that you and your doctors can figure this out and you almost made me cry I support and love u so much you got this!! GOOD LUCK! WE LOVE U!
Omg I know I’m 7 months late, but I just want to give you a hug. I’ve been binge watching your channel thank you for you openness, this is very eye opening.
Jaquie you are not alone! Sending you big gentle hugs. Sometimes the frustrations need to come out and I’m so grateful that you’re willing to be vulnerable with your followers and show us we don’t always have to be “stoic”. There’s strength in being emotionally present. 💟💟💟
Sending all the good vibes to you and Judd. I hope you and the team can find a good way to navigate through this bump in the road. You're handling this like a champ!
😔 let your feelings out, cry it out!!
I hope you feel better and I know everything will be ok. You have always been here for me (through your videos) and we (all your subscribers) are here for you in this hard time 💚
I’m so sorry this is happening to you. I can’t even imagine the physical and emotional pain you’re going threw. You will be in my prayers❤️
I don't want to press the (LIKE) because this is no fun for you. You look drained. I am frustrated for you. I hope your system can handle the stress of this procedure because I know something like this may not seem like a big deal to a lot of people but for someone with an immune issue it can take some time to heal. You're in my prayers.
You are in my prayers. I got Judd’s “Part of the crew. Part of the ship.” It is great to get the emotions out and cry.
I'm so sorry you had to go through this!! I can relate way too well and just wish I could give you gentle but big hugs
I just wanted to say hi. Im a fellow EDS and POTS patient, and I love watching you. You're an inspiration to me, and I worry about you. I hope you are feeling better, and that they were able to solve your impaction.
It's heartbreaking to see you struggle & in pain 😥 It's more than okay to break down sometimes & your feelings are completely valid. That's what anyone in your situation would do. I am sending you lots of strength & faith for a solution to be near.. You are such a strong woman Jaquie. Never doubt your power. I hope that although we don't know each other personally, my words can be of comfort in some way. From one chronic illness warrior to another ❤️❤️❤️
I’m so sorry you’re having such a hard time Jaquie! I’m sending lots of love, hugs and prayers your way ❤️
Have they given a shot in the stomach to counter the constipation from meds? I've had like three (not at the same time...) of those shots when I have been very impacted. It's horrible cause it works right away and gives you the worst abdominal pain cause it causes your bowels to release. It's Methylnaltrexone. I am so sorry I have been through these painful awful procedures and tests and I am so so sorry. I always try anything I can but I tend to get impacted while inpatient cause I am not used to being there (even though I should be by now......). I'm going to be having esophageal procedure/surgery again soon. Last time they didn't have my PCA ready when I got back from surgery. I react to everything at the hospital too! Even the sheets! I guess that's Mast Cell for ya. Hugs to y'all! I am so glad the medicinal marijuana is helping and that they're letting you have it while inpatient! (love and hugs from California)
Hey Jaquie. I have had times like the crying in the hospital. I’ve had problems where nothing worked for my stomach pain and I felt like there was nothing left. I also have autism. Have trust in god it will be ok. Your doctor will come up with something, even if it doesn’t seem like it. I hope you’ll keep us updated when you can, but I know that is hard.
P.s. In regards to yesterday, I’ve had tons of procedures and 7 surgeries...but 1 of the worst decisions I made was to have an endometrial biopsy (while my endo-monster was flaring) @the office w/no prior warning or meds. I was given the choice of going to the hospital @a later date to be sedated, boy did I regret not doing that!!! Getting my tonsils out @22 wasn’t a blast either, but my endo pain & complications take the cake. You’re doing an amazing job lovely lady!!! Rooting you on from California.❤️
Aw honey..its okay to cry. You are doing so great. we are here to help you stay strong through this. we are so sorry nothing is working. I'm proud of you for still continuing to think positive even with all that's going on with you. All the love from your fans
Sending you all my love and praying for your speedy recovery. So very sorry that you are having to go through this. Try to rest when you can.
Awww baby. Just seeing you in the hospital all the time breaks my heart. You’re a strong woman and I know you’ll be okay but I just keep praying things will get easier for you. You’ll be in my thoughts love. Xoxo
I love that you're so confident
I hope you feel better soon I know how frustrating it is for meds to not work and to have to keep trying. But things work out in the end. Sending you hugs and well wishes.
So sorry this stuff going badly for you, sending prayers and much hope for a solution for a better life for you and Judd. From Minnesota. 😍
Hope your pain is better and there is a new plan in place! You always remind us to be positive regardless of the circumstances, love that about you and your channel. Thank you for sharing your story! Take care!
Your expression when Judd says "like running a snake down a toilet"...LOL! I am so sorry you are struggling. Went to the ER for the second time in a week for a similar issue to yours. Hope we both get relief soon!
Hugs, yes there is plenty to be thankful for and you have such a great support system and that is definitely needed when you are stuck in the hospital, I know this cause I was in the hospital for 3 months and it was so frustrating and hard and I had my moments as well. I will keep you in my prayers and pray for a fast recovery so you can get home asap. Hang in there we all know your strong but even the strongest tree has a breaking point make sure to keep talking about what frustrates you and these moments are much needed for you emotionally and mentally so if a good cry eases some of your frustration then bring on the tissues :).
Dear Jaquie,I have been watching you for a good while now and I just wanted to let you know I am praying for you.I am so sorry you are suffering.
I really empathize with you alot.I am 55 years old.I have been sick for the past year and a half with chronic neck and back pain(DDD with bulging and compressed discs)chronic migraines and stomach issues.
My adult daughter,my 2 grandchildren and my 82 year old father live here together with my husband and me.
My 14 year old granddaughter has muscular dystrophy and type I diabetes.My daughter has retinitis pigmentosa which severly effects her vision and my grandson is autistic.My father is in stage 4 prostate cancer.
Watching you and your honesty and positivity really encourages me.I admire you and love how you are not afraid to talk about your faith.
I am praying for you.It will be ok.
I am so very sorry for what you are going through. It breaks my heart to see you crying and in so much pain. I am going to pray for you. I actually have Lupus and chronic pancreatitis. I had a 2 surgeries several years ago involving my colon, causing me lots of pain & nausea. I was at a point that I wanted to give up but I'm a Christian and I started praying and had others praying. I can honestly say that prayer truly helped me. I know that your doctors will not give up until they figure this out. Please know that you have so many people praying for you and wishing you a quick recovery. If you begin to lose hope, just ask God to help you. I know that He will. Hang in there!
Jaq we are here for you! Crying is the best in this moment, its ok to cry, its ok to be frustrated. I hope you feel better soon, and if you would like to share the doctor's ideas. I'm sure we would love to hear them. Dont lose hope! Rooting for you and sending you all my love and positive energy from HK
Praying that you find some relief soon! I know it’s not easy to go through any of this. Hug Ellie extra tight and let it out. I know how frustrating it can be but you will come out on the other side stronger
You poor thing!! As someone that suffers from autoimmune issues, I understand some of your frustrations. I hope you find relief soon and are able to get out of there and get back home!
I got impacted back in 1980 after my abdominal hysterectomy. I went to ER and they did a hydrogen peroxide enema. The nurse had to dig it out with a finger. I said to her, If you'll give me a glove i can do that. " I never had problems again.
OMG Jacquie, just the title explained the whole video, I'm not gonna watch it yet because I'm a very sensitive individual and I know I'm gonna cry. Anyway do have a speedy recovery and keep on fighting girl and NEVER GIVE UP THE FIGHT!!!
Hey Jaquie! Haven't checked in on you for a few months and I gotta say, so happy to see that you put on a few and not by your stomach but your face! And even though hospital is probably wearing you out it's really nice to see you with some proper color in your face again! You go girl :)
Soft marshmallow hugs! You are doing fantastic seriously I honestly don’t know how you cope so gracefully! Praying for strength and relief for you. Hang in there your doing great!
I was impacted after my open heart surgery. It was horrible. 😣 I'm so sorry.
Jaquie, I know how you are feeling - I too, suffer from gastroparesis, and am living with a feeding tube in my jejunum, having lost my stomach entirely. It's difficult, you try and stay hydrated, but, the gastroparesis combined with medications make constipation a constant and ongoing battle. I was last hospitalized in March.
Please know, that you have a lot of people out there who care for you, and wish you nothing but the best. I'm so sorry that you are suffering so damn much.... You are very lucky to have your husband, your, family, and your fur baby to lean on. I'm praying that you finally catch a break, and start feeling better soon. Xx
On the last video, you posed the question as to what painful procedures, some of us had, that were the most uncomfortable... for me, every tube exchange in IR, despite sedation, and the most recent painful procedure for me was last week with a nuclear stress test for my heart. ..the most pain, pressure, and pounding headache. It was just over 3 hrs total time. But, they found a defect in my right anterior vessel... now, I'm on a cardiac medicine. Sometimes, it seems like I can't catch a break, so, I know how you feel! Get better soon. Xx
Oh honey! You can cry if you want. there is nothing to be ashamed off. You ARE strong! You ARE doing well. You deal amazing with all of this (shit)!
I am proud of you. I can't imagine how this must feel like.
Just remember you everyday that you are not alone. We are here for you. ♥
My dear friend Jaquie, I'm so sorry to hear that things are not going well for you. I will pray for you and send good vibes your way in hope that things will be better
Oh my goodness. I am so sorry you are going through this. You have every right to cry, you have every right to scream and be pissed! You have been through so much!! I pray to god you find relief soon! Praying for you!
Please don’t be sorry, ever. You are fighting a battle that most people couldn’t begin to wrap their mind around. I know it doesn’t help right now but please try to remember you have an abundance of people that are sending positive, loving , healing vibes your way. 💗💗💗
Cried with you today babe. You are a superstar and are in our prayers always. 🙏🏼❤️
In my prayers, I know its hard sometimes BUT TRY TO STAY POSITIVE. You have a great support group.
I am new to your vlog it just appeared on my home page so I decided to check it out. I am going through some similar health issues and have been off work for 4 months with no end in sight. Being reminded that I am not alone and I am not the only one that is suffering has really helped me this morning. Thanks for sharing your story and your bravery. I will be sure to stop in and check on you again soon
My heart breaks for what you are going through. I live with Chronic pain too so understand your feelings and relate to a lot of what you are saying. I cried when you cried, you are such an amazing, strong and courageous lady, a real inspiration. I pray you will feel much better soon xxxx
I am so sorry you’re going through this. I will be praying that your doctors will know what to do and help you feel better. Have faith God is with you and I know that you will be better soon! Stay strong!
Have you had a milk & molasses enema? When I was a pediatric ER nurse, we had many kids with medical issues requiring enemas and this combo seemed to work!
Sending prayers your way that they find a solution. I’m so very sorry you have to go through this. Stay strong. Love from Texas.
Oh, sweetie. I’m new to your channel and life, but I am praying for you too now. You are amazing. Hang in there. Hugs, KH
I’m so sorry hun that you are going through this 💔 I hope they can get it all cleaned out soon
Is it just me or is your face swollen as well? I really hope all works out well.
Teresa Simpson Her face is very swollen. I noticed as well. I figured it was a side effect of some medication.
Yeah I was wondering what was happening as well! Hopefully the swelling isn't bothering her too much!
I think she has to have steroids so that can cause Moon face
yes especially prednisone is famous for it, also toxins are released since the body can't eliminate them it's a vicious circle
That happens a lot when ur impacted. Usually everything gets swollen on me.
Haven’t seen any new uploads, which I hope means you are resting and feeling a little better. Praying that this season would pass for you! Hang in there!
Just focus on how wonderful you are going to feel soon. It will be such a relief when this ends, and it will. You just don’t know how yet and that’s the hard part.
My prayers are going out to you . I know it's hard but hang in their. We love you Jackie. ♡
You have no idea how much it means to me that you post things like this. I felt so alone during my last hospital stay. The cafeteria refused to feed me because they didn't know what they could safely give me. So if my husband didn't bring it I didn't get food. No one does this with grace. Thank you for making me feel normal.
I'm sorry you're going through a rough time :(. I'm happy for you that your doctor has some other ideas to help get rid of the impact. I wish you all the best and just know we're all here to support you! Always sending you my thoughts and prayers to you and your family!
I'm sorry you are going through this. Stay strong and I am sure your medical team will figure out the best course of action now. I hope to see you feeling better soon. Thinking of you.
I know how horrible it feels to be in the hospital and for absolutely nothing to work. I will be praying to God to work miracles for your body!
yup...right side smooths to help the pain. I admire your bravery and patients. thank God they will put you under. I worked at a hospice and had to do several disimpactions of patients and my dear you are amazing. and the fact you can smile thru this makes you my hero...
Hang tough jaq, you are small but you are mighty! You are always in my thoughts and prayers and I'm sending virtual hugs via youtube. (Never apologize for crying or being upset, if it helps to vent here DO IT. Lean on your army of supporters!)
God bless you, Jaquie. You are amazingly strong in so many ways, you inspire me so much. I have an autoimmune disease, I can relate to you and your feelings with being in a hospital. I cannot stand being away from home and my loved ones. I pray you are given the strength to get through all of the trials you are facing right now, and hope that your doctors continue to do all they can to help you get well again. You have such a big heart and are very brave to share your story with the world. Sending you love, prayers, hugs and healing vibes your way right now! 🙏🏼💕
We love you Jaquie! Forever keeping you in my thoughts. When the tears come, remember to snuggle Ellie as hard as you can! 😊💜
We all wish you the best Jaquie! Hope things are all sorted out soon but for now we're here for you!
