I'm not sure if you'll ever read this, but City of Hope is amazing. The doctors there treated my father's stage 4 lung cancer. He was given a 2 year life expectancy, but they gave him an extra 8 years of a truly high quality life. He unfortunately passed away 2 weeks ago, but I'm forever thankful to the doctors there ❤
Sorry for your loss, but I'm glad to hear their team has been amazing for your family.
That 8 years must have been a wonderful gift for your family. I bet he appreciated every day.
My mom got 5.5 extra years on stage 4 cancer. I'm so grateful I got to spend every day living with my parents and helping them each and every day
Sorry for your lost
Sorry for your loss
You have been here for us for years. You’ve been honest, and it’s obvious that you are here to help and teach your followers. We are here for you Jay. Thank you for all of the years, and all of them to come.
Much love
I am pretty sure I have been following this channel for about 2 years! somebody wrote on one of the first comments I saw where a guy watched a gpu video, his girlfriend came by and asked who is that Bond villain talking about a gpu!
Couldn't have said it better !
Get better Jay ! Stay strong and healthy ! Bless you and your loved ones !
@@kenpazaraki5781 dude no need to spam 😂 we get it
@@kenpazaraki5781The man literally said don't do this. Dafuq is wrong with you??
Wonder if they're considering using a similar treatment to casgevy (crispr cas9 treatment for sickle cell). That involves harvesting stem cells before chemo to kill off and replace bonemarrow.
Hopefully there'll be progress for Jay with things ending well (knocking on wood).
Hey Jay, just wanted to say that I'm a primary care doc and don't underestimate how impactful your openness can be. Normalizing talking about health makes a difference and makes people comfortable talking about their health. I wish you the best!
Good looking out
He just made me feel like I have a friend and ally in going through some very similar rectal bleeding symptoms from hemorrhoids. Thank you for your support too, in being open and supportive. Much love to you as well!
Yes! Exactly!!! We live in a culture of not talking about things like this, then when it comes up in one's life/circle people are astounded by the process. Also contributes to lessening the ableism.
City of Hope is fantastic. They treated my sister in-law for breast cancer. They’re just awesome! They really take care of you and treat you like family. Good luck man! Praying for you and your family brother.
I hope your health improves and you can continue to do what you love. ❤
leaky gut , atleast from my experiance is alcohol, not talking 1 shot of whiskey, i drink 5 times a day, when i stop it goes blasting out everything i got in my gut. then comes no sleep at night, and all the shit, idk what Jay does behind the scenes, but just sharing my experiance, alcohol is such a poison.@@kenpazaraki5781
correction not 5 times a day, 5 days a week. , another edit, even probably no one reads my post , but alcohol , gave me 170-140 blood presure, feeling like dead for 4 days when i stop,cant even walk anymone more than a room.
@TheDivisionAddict no....the bunch of grapes sucks you over time lol.
Not a regular viewer but longtime sub., hope you're getting better and find a way back to full health ❤ YT would be worse of without great and inspiring content creators like you!
@TheDivisionAddictSee a pharmacist or Dr. if you can and get some kortison treatment for it, takes some weeks to disappear, but once it's gone it's like heaven!
⚠️Word of caution though, don't over do it! ⚠️ Otherwise you're ass will be more sore than my ex-wife after she couldn't get all MY stuff in the divorce! 😂
@TheDivisionAddictOr just tie them off with dental floss and the lack of blood flow will make them fall off, hurts like hell during the time though (don't ask me how I know).
Don't do this: I've actually cut a huge one open with a razor once to get it out and it really helped, but carries serious risk of infection ⚠️ I had no choice as I was in quarantine/lockup during covid and to leave/see a doctor was only possible if it was life threatening 😅
Thank you for not censoring symptoms like blood in the stool. Deseases like Chrons, Colitis and other types of IBD are overlooked because of stigma and taboo. It takes bigger voices, like your own, talking freely about serious health concerns, to break down the conversational barriers.
Hope everything works out for you, Jay.
I agree. I had the same issues and had to have blood transfusions and surgeries to fix the blood issues. An easy way to tell if you are anemic for a long period of time, your nails will concave. The nails will never recover but it's easy for anyone reading to check. The other problem is supplements like iron and such won't work if your body can't absorb it which is another problem. Side note if you need to eat and calm the digestive system is to take cannabis. CBD might work, but the state I'm in now prescribes cannabis to help calm down the digestive system and allow time to absorb the nutrients needed.
On a good note, once your levels are backup, you feel like a super human for a couple weeks.
Colitis was my first thought, but they did colonoscopy. Chrons is usually in small intestine and I don't know if they checked that yet. They're probably checking easier and more likely (and serious, even though Chrons can be bad too) options.
sitting in a hospital bed with Crohn's waiting for a surgeon to remove my ascending colon so I second this statement.
@@BC-ji9xr I miss the days of my youth where I felt superhuman after getting over illness. I remember being laid on the couch from a bug for a week straight. Took 2 days before I was actually able to drink fluids. I just laid there and watched the first 2 seasons of The Walking Dead (which is what I felt like). Then by next week, I felt like I could fly! I was 25 then. Last time I experienced that feeling was a couple years ago (when I was 35) when I got my first Covid vaccine. For about 8 hrs I had so much energy and felt great, then it hit and I was in bed for the next day, then back to my normal "meh".
Back in 2017 I had a colonoscopy done after finding blood in stool. They didn't find any polyps but had a diverticulitis diagnosis. It's a very painful disease when you get a flare up. Nutritional deficiencies, anemia, trouble sleeping... It affects every aspect of your life. I really have to watch my diet. Fiber, good multivitamins and no fried or oily foods. I feel your pain Jay. Hope you find out exactly what the issue is.
My wife is currently fighting cancer, I understand the struggle. Keep your head up brother, your true fans support you and hope for the best...
Stay positive.
Check out Thomas Seyfried. You have to be your own health advocate. When CEO's of hospitals and healthcare corps get cancer they never want what they're selling.
Sending you all the positive vibes!
Sending Positive vibes and prayers!
All the best for you’re wife, I know the situation too well I hope your doing ok 🙏
Wish you all the best
It is not cancer, this is fantastic news. Keep it up man!
You sound down and understandably so.. but it not being cancer is a huge win man.
If he got correct treatment and its been a whole few months and the bloodwork values arent back to normal... something is wrong..
@@casualonemmo-player2167 yes but there is wrong and then there is cancer wrong.
Yeah, I know from experience that cancer sucks. Have my left femur held together by a metal plate and 8 screws. Surprisingly that doesn't set off metal detectors at the airport. But people have more options today for fighting cancer than when I had it. Me it was chemo therapy. That was about 22 years ago. But others its radiation. But now if cancer responds well to it, they can train your immune system to fight the cancer cells and kill it on its own.
Awe Jay! I went to City of Hope as well for treatment of stage 3 breast cancer....I am now 7 years cancer free!!! They are amazing, stay strong!❤
Congrats Susan...I'm a fellow Prostate Cancer survivor....everytime I see a post like yours I celebrate for that person!!!!!!!!!!!
@@AnywhereMiami that is what good insurance coverage is for, and treatment hospitals like city of Hope have financial assistance for those that need it.
@@AnywhereMiami Unfortunately, you have to pay for it everywhere in the world, either directly or through taxes.
@@BloodwyrmWildheart What would you rather pay, tens of thousands of dollars on a bill or a few dollars extra in taxes? Here in Sweden, healthcare is subsidized by tax and a healthcare visit with surgery is almost free.
Breast cancer runs in both sides of my family so I celebrate you being cancer free as I would my family!!!!
Thanks for the update. I've been watching your channel for about 3 years now, so my wife recognizes your voice when I watch your videos. She has been asking how you were doing, so I had to share it with her. Positive vibes to you and your family.
You've been a mainstay in the tech scene on UA-cam. You're health is paramount.
UA-cam is secondary to your health. The community will pour out the support; just tell us where you need it Jay.
We want to make sure our monetary contributions are going to the best ways to support you!
This! Get this to the top! Take a break when you want or need it!
Edit: If you don't take care of your health and focus on content instead, you'll become worse enough to where you won't be able to do that anymore. Please Jay, you come first before the channel!
Thank you for not hiding some of your problems. You are like a older eccentric “fun” uncle we have adopted over the years. You educate and entertain us in your own way. So if you will. Let us know what the status of your health is. A lot of us hope “Uncle Jay”, will be around for as long as you want to do these videos. Thank you.
Hey Jay, did you check your Testosterone?
I quite caffeine 20 years ago, it was the beginning of my wellness. Keep up the great work Jay!
Yeah that can be a slipper slope if your not realizing that caffeine is really a energy debt/booster and not a energy replacement.
A delicious coffee in the morning is the only sensible thing...anything more than that does more harm than good. I don't even want to talk about energy drinks.
I quit it myself a few times and this time I swear I am all done with it ! I cant handle the Jitters or constant crashes without the stuff, it really has an effect on some of us more than others!
Coffee aint bad for the health, its quite good for it... If one doesnt overdose on it(due to the caffeine) ofc.
In reality you quit sugar, unless you never put sugar or cream in your coffee.
We definitely want to hear more health updates, and we wish you the best of luck in healing.
Stories of people realising they are ill or working out what is wrong with them, because they saw someone else talking about it, appear all the time.
That is why sports stars and other celebs talk publicly. Including recently, the royal family.
@@alexedwards6509 yes, connecting the dots?, and if you can not find, the right dots to conect, someone else will, with? (with luck or just mathematical logic?) I'm not mathematics some of person, you 1 + 1 some else, + 2 more people, + 4 + 4, is 8 and 8 + 8, that 16, and so on, and on ,and on? and someone somewhere, has bit of the puzzle, and some else has bit more, and so on, you get enough bits, your well on the way to something bigger?
wish you a fast recovery and all the best! Hang on there man.
Take care of yourself and your team is great.
Thank you so much for sharing. I just played this for my wife, she's been going through a very similar situation, and too much caffeine consumption as well and I've been struggling with extreme tiredness. I do pray we all can get healthy soon.
A few years ago I was functioning over caffeine, and man, the withdrawal headaches were absolutely BRUTAL.
i suppose theres one advantage to caffeine making me want to spit a drink out.
Otherwise I certainly would of spent at-least one period of my life addicted to it.
Your honesty and integrity mean a lot in our world. It's what keeps a lot of us coming back. And, you have a great team around you. So, you take the time you need for you. We'll still be here. I've been dealing with non answers for neurologic problem for 14 years. I'm so sorry you are having to go through that. Nothing worse than not knowing. Praying they figure out the issue, and find a way to get you through it. And, please, keep us updated.
Hope you heal up soon and to everyone whos fighting cancer be strong and hope you beat it.
Glad to hear that the colonoscopy didnt show any weird things... shame they still have no clue where it is coming from but the fact its not a form of colon cancer....
Hope they figure it out soon and that you can recover quickly and thoroughly
The next logical step for any doctor worth their salt would be a full pituitary gland check.
"Older men" with clinically nonfunctioning pituitary tumors is known to cause anemia
It's amazing that no one in this comment section can figure out that the vaccines are causing these cancers.
@@lambiedanHope Jay sees this message.
Glad you're doing ok Jay. Take care
Health and family are everything. When you're feeling very unwell everything else falls away and you realize none of it is important except your health and your family.
I wish you the best.
Yes, family = support structure. That's why I suffer so much more, illness and no family, and why I applied for euthanasia at Dignitas Switzerland. So grateful to have that option instead of having to slowly die alone
Thank you for sharing Jay. It never ceases to surprise me the extent to which diagnosis & treatment of chronic conditions is an extensive journey even with resources like City of Hope available. I respect your privacy and I value that you're sharing as it can help people understand that there's a process. Your overall positivity about what you're dealing with is wonderful!
Standing for your highest & best,
A fellow chronicly ill human on the journey of various tests, now with new doctors & specialists ;)
Your struggle with weight really resonates with me. I've had a long self-destructive fight with my own weight. Keep hanging in there.
Look up Dr. Ken Berry and Dr. Anthony Chaffee on UA-cam and at least look into his advice.
They solved all of my problems, and took all of the guesswork out of dieting.
I get to eat what I always preferred to eat, and I never feel hungry doing it.
Your health should always be your first concern. thank you for the update.
Best wishes on getting your health back, from a bladder cancer survivor.
I used to drink 4-6 pots of coffee every day, I’m down to 4-6 cups/day now.
4 to 5 cups of coffee is the daily maximum recommended amount.
No offense but
How are you still alive from that amount of caffeine?
They probably built up a tolerance.
For caffeine-free people, even a little has a big effect. But the more often you consume, the less the affect, and the more you need to get a kick.
@@rokko_fableYeah, that's definitely true to some extent. I haven't felt any effect of caffeine for years (although I can't remember it ever having any big effect, but memory of decades past is a fickle thing).
I drink coffee because I like the taste and that's about it. I consume probably about 30-100g of coffee beans every single day (so should be ~1-3 grams of caffeine). That's not small numbers, but I imagine that would still be considered rookie numbers by anyone living around the mediterannean.
@@piktasniekas8124 my favorite snack is chocolate covered coffee beans. But I definitely feel the effects! Lol
@paradoxicalmadness4507 Judging by the movies, I imagine many americans drink water not coffee... I wouldn't be surprised if a "pot" has less coffee in it than a typical double espresso (15-20 grams of beans). You could also make a single cup out of 100g of beans, if you really wanted to (might need to do some boiling and concentration, but it's probably not too hard to do). So, if you want to get even a remotely accurate read on caffeine consumption, you gotta measure the coffee beans used to make the drinks, not the number of drinks.
P.S. 4-5 cups of typical coffee is definitely not a limit for any coffee drinker and it's definitely "safe" to consume a lot more (just don't do it all at once and drink enough water (coffee is most definitely not a replacement for water, as it's a strong duretic)). Obviously, things like this are very individual; if some1 feels terrible after just 1 cup, then maybe even 1 cup is not "safe" and should not be consumed. And the 100g/cup coffee - yeah, don't try that - that's probably not safe to consume for anyone, in any amounts.
Keep strong Champion, good on ya for talking about it. We all need to know it's o.k. to struggle and be open about it.
Appreciate all you guys do - stay strong Jay
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. May the Force be with you...always.
When my dad has his heart issues he only started getting really better when he was treated at an oncology Center. Not only do they have great doctors for all areas of the body but they are really sympathetic too, you're not just a number to them. I hope they can nail what's ailing you and help you get through it.
I'm sorry my economic condition doesn't allow me to support via merchandise, but i'll keep watching every video you guys make.
Stay strong! ❤
Thank you for sharing your health journey and good luck with your recovery. It would help many of us if you could also share which, if any, shots and boosters you've had prior to the onset of the symptoms.
Praying for you!
I've recently gone through a health scare. I hope you find a diagnosis soon and can work to getting better! Not knowing is truly the scariest part.
Thank you for the update Jay. I understand your reluctance do so. Sending positive energy for whatever that might be worth.
get well soon
I found your channel in early 2020 while recovering from cancer and surgery. You are in my thoughts and prayers for a way to treat this and for energy. God bless you. I appreciate your humor, honesty and willingness to share your interests and skills. You lifted me up on some very down days. Thank you for sharing. I hope they can help you you recover quickly.
Absolutely trust in your doctors and hopefully they have answers and possible solutions for you soon.
I went through years of trying to figure out what was wrong with me, with every test repeatedly coming back normal or inconclusive, and it drains you in a way others that don't go through it can't truly comprehend.
Stay strong and keep doing what you're doing, nick and Phil do a great job when they do videos, so it is certainly imo no detriment for them to step in as required. Hopefully you'll have a plan to work from soon.
Been there buddy, stay strong! Get better soon! **HUG**
Jay We are with you stay strong and yes please let us know. Like you said some people are going through something similar and might help someone! Much Love!
You sparked the passion of pc in me and I thank you for that. I hope you make a full recovery.
Big man you gonna pull through
Best wishes from Czech Republic. Take you time and heal properly. I've seen way too many peoply destroyed by overworking themself. R&R is important.
I actually have Thalassemia Minor Jay its relatively easy to control and everything is better than cancer :) best wishes my friend 😊
We have similar health history. I didn't hit 500 I hit 350 but the anemia and colonoscopy and having no clue why I'm anemic and having no help from taking supplements. Thank you for the update :) I also had diverticulitis and lost 5 inches of my colon at 34yrs of age. That was life changing :( born with one kidney as well and didn't know til the colon thing. Which had my blood pressure out of which since I was a teen and couldn't get under control. I was immensely strong but a fatty. You rule Jay!
I have severe Crohns and it drive me literally insane often. Pain comes and goes with zero rhyme or reason. It is frustrating and I am happy you speak about your health. It is fricken weird. FACTS. But it helps a lot of folks not just ignore things that can be "fixed" if caught early. Rootin for ya guy
!
I was recently put on a medication called Rinvoq. Has gave me my life back and I'm only on it 1 month so far. Please look in to it if you're struggling at the minute.
Praying for you Jay. God bless you!!!!
Stay strong! You got this!!!!
I've been through all of this... literally the exact same symptoms, and it's super frustrating not having answers. Even after I was diagnosed, I had AN answer, but it opens the doors to a lot more questions and doctors don't always have the answers... unfortunately. I found that I had to learn how to read and understand medical studies and do my own research, and talk to my doctors about it, and it's really tough finding good ones. I really do hope you get answers quickly. I know how much this utterly sucks.
Seems a lot of people I know, of all ages, are going through this in the last few years. Seems to be world wide.
@@ArKay-nj2nh My issues started right after high school, which was 24 years ago, but digestive conditions have definitely been accelerating recently and I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually find that it has something to do with certain things they're allowed to put in our food.
My experience is fairly similar as well and i share the frustration. I’ve had many tests done and I mostly have hints of issues at like low b12, low testosterone, and other anomalies that seem to come and go randomly.
@@billjohnson6863Yep, for me it's usually B12, D3, Calcium and Iron. Calcium is an interesting one, because even if you're not anemic, if you're low on calcium, it hinders the red blood cells ability to transport oxygen.
I've been dealing with them long enough that I can tell when I'm low without a blood test, but finding the right supplements make it super easy to manage. Iron is a bit tricky though because you really should only take iron supplements under the supervision of a doctor, as in they should be keeping track of your iron levels, as overdosing on iron can be deadly.
I have been low on testosterone in the past, but I haven't checked it lately. Even if I am, I'm a bit concerned about the shots as it seems anything you might take to bring those levels up carry a risk of blood clots, and having had to deal with those, I think I'd rather deal with the low T than worry about that again.
Digestive issues are the worst, because if your digestive tract isn't working right... it's going to cause a lot of other things not work right.
@@ArKay-nj2nh post-2020 health💀
Sending positive energy and healing vibes your way Jay.
You are a good due Jay, I hope your health continues to improve. My sister dealt with anemia, once her and her Doctors discovered why she was having these problems it became very treatable. I hope this turns out the be the case with you as well.
Really appreciate the update.. and cheering for you Jay.
Positive energy and well wishes to you, Jay!
Take care Jay, thanks for the update!
Hoping all the best for you soon!
And thanks for your hard work to you and your guys at work, all the best for your family too!
Congrats on 4 Million Jay! Great to see you got in to such a specialized health program! Best of luck, stay happy healthy, and keep teaching us.
Just for your information, I also have been treated at city of Hope, it is NOT just for cancer and hard to get to or go, or be accepted, they are all over the USA, and have even more locations after acquiring Cancer Treatment Centers of America and accept most insurances. They pay for your travel, food, assistance with lodging. Most anyone can go there if they have insurance and I highly recommend anyone facing a big serious diagnosis to get a 2nd opinion at City of Hope. If I hadn't, I wouldn't be typing this right now.
Thank you for sharing and glad you're keeping this more or less under control. We're rooting for you.
Take care Jay. Feel better
My prayers are with you and yours. I'm 73 and have issues of my own, but my thoughts are with you.
Thank you for sharing this very personal information with the audience. I am praying for your swift recovery.
thank you for the update! if you want to update every few months I would be happy and if you didn't I wouldn't complain either
Full and Fast Recovery to you
Long shot, but if you are a snorer at all, have you been screened for Sleep Apnea (do a sleep study)? I was literally feeling tired all the time and feeling worse AFTER resting and sleeping until I had a sleep study and was diagnosed with apnea. 6 months later I am 95% better after using a CPAP. It's literally like going from not sleeping in years and being kind of a zombie to being yourself again and feeling actually rested. I am also anemic with low iron and vitamin D and other micronutrients and we are still trying to figure that out. But energy wise this was a game changer. Throwing it out there just in case. Sleep is key.
Have you consulted a spine specialist to find the proper bed for you? 99% of people need an adjustable bed frame from what I’ve learned, to keep proper spine alignment and minimize snoring.
was gonna suggest this, a lot of people out there with untreated sleep apnea, unfortunately the treatment does not work for everyone though.
i went in for a sleep study, cost me my drivers license and my job... pissed me off at first, but i guess it is a good thing im not out there driving!
at this point i am so tired and worn out that i am seriously considering an amphetamine addiction and just let it rip until its over... 😵💫
why not... 🤪
@@ralphbooger4756Yeah, I'm glad the CPAP is working okay for me so far. I'm in Canada so the sleep study was covered thank God. I went to a ENT specialist and he said I could do the surgery but it would only improve me by like 10%/20% of what the CPAP is doing, and I might still need the CPAP after. I was a little self-conscious about being the weird guy always taking around the machine when traveling but OMG it's so worth it to actually feel better and not worse after sleeping. I really wouldn't recommend the stimulant addiction! You will just crash worse all the time. I have also been on ADHD meds (for ADHD) before and it just tricks you into feeling awake even though you are actually still mentally tired. The brain fog doesn't go away. Fix the sleep at all costs and all areas of your life will improve for sure because your brain and health will come back. Wishing you the best!
Prayers and best wishes for a speedy diagnosis/treatment, and ultimate recovery. Thank you for all that you do!
Get better Jay! We are here for you man.
May god give you the strength brother
Thanks for the update. Have watched you for years, and we are keeping you in our prayers. Hope you get the answers you are seeking.
Appreciate all you guys do, take care, praying for the best.
Praying for you brother! Much love to you and the family! Keep us updated for sure.
Praying for you Jay
Jay, what's very cool is that your fan base (PC enthusiasts who might tend to be sedentary), really needs to hear this stuff! And you are providing it! I'm a 55 yr old engineer and recovered addict (7 yrs clean) and battling similar symptoms while working graveyard. Hypertension\BP is my big problem...and when you mentioned "oxygen not getting to organs" , it was a lightbulb moment, because "deep breaths" is the only way I get my BP back down. Anyway, I'm learning a lot from these "Health update videos"! So Thank you!
Yes, keep up with updates, HOPE you get better
My life in my little computer world is ten fold better because of you and all you've done for me. Hang tough brother 🤓
Just drain your reservoir and swap your fluid
I see what you did there. 🤣 👍
Giggity?
*inserts* Phil’s laugh here
I work in the laboratory at a healthcare center and what you’re describing to me might be Multiple Myeloma. You probably have an electrophoresis check for the monoclonal spike (M Spike) if you haven’t had that done yet. Best of luck, Jay.
Considering he's been referred to hematology, they may be suspecting some form of blood cancer or some kind of blood disorder related to the anemia.
@@alzuu1 right, that’s kind of why I thought this might be somewhat probable.
This is why aura readings are very important. Seeing a spiritualist that does energy healing is important to health
Jay literally asked you not to make this comment
@@DavidA20200 much more unlikely to be myeloma than a multitude of other disease processes. First of all myeloma patients typically have normal iron levels, occasionally low iron. Ferritin levels are also high typically in MM. Jay says his is nonexistent. It also would not account for fecal occult positive stool. In other words, quit talking out of your ass, to say it's probable is inaccurate as hell.
Thoughts and prayers are with you
Thank lord it's not colon cancer. Much love mate. Wishing ya the best. ❤
I got a huge sigh of relief when he said it was unremarkable.
I don't remember if I asked this in your last health vid, but in regards to the potential thalassemia: Are you (or do you know if ) you are of Mediterranean decent? When I was first suspected of having it, my doctor looked cross-eyed at me, the pasty white guy sitting in the chair in his office, and said I didn't look the type but very much had the anomalies in my blood-work pattern. When I told him I was first gen Croatian-American, I could see the bells in his head chiming. He sent me to a specialist that confirmed that I was a single gene carrier with only the most mild symptoms, just the fatigue and periodic weakness, manifesting. I got lucky. More severe cases can require regular blood transfusions to remedy. If you do get diagnosed with thalassemia, I'd almost bet that you were a single gene carrier as well. Your appearance in your videos don't really show the visible telltale symptoms I was told of the more severe forms of the disease.
I'm Croat , never heard of that. Diseases based on geography are sneaky ...
There's an old saying here in my country: you're only as sick as you feel. It doesn't change anything about your illness, but if you can still enjoy life, even if it's just the little things, then life is less difficult. And luckily I saw this in your video. Please keep it up.
You mean well, but being sick very much diminishes quality of life. It's a nice inspirational calender quote but it's kind of worthless, no offence.
I hope you feel better and the doctors figure out how to help
I prayed for ya, but you got to pray to! Jesus loves you and so do I. Wishing you luck~
🙄
I'll be praying for you. Jesus has kept me going after autoimmune kidney disease, 2 strokes, and over 9 years in the 3rd world with 3 years of it in combat zones.
I appreciate these type of videos! A little of personal life is ok especially when it comes to your health, Jay. Thanks for letting us know what's going on. Hope all is well!
God bless you and all your treatment
Thank you for the update. I hope you will figure out the reason of your problems. Fingers crossed.
Hope you get better soon.
from Sweden.
I wish you a speedy recovery. Really love your content 🙌
I have had low ferritin before (down to 1) and you just always feel exhausted. I'm sorry. I'm glad you are getting answers and going in a positive direction.
We’ll support any schedules that accommodates to you!
Keep it up. I went through the health issues too. I understand
I will keep you in my prayers and hope you get to feeling better. You truly give great reviews on PC products. You will overcome this.
Rock on Jay, stay healthy and I hope your can figure out all these deficiencies and get back on track.
Great to know you're on the road to a diagnosis & hope you get appropriate treatment very soon. Cheers from an Aussie with auto-immune challenges among other stuff.
I used to be the same way... quitting caffeine has been very helpful for me
In my prayers, thank you for the awesome channel.
Thanks Jay
Jay: I had same problem and went to a hematologist and oncologist. I know you don't want advice, but my specialists did not know what was up either. Ultimately it took massive iron infusions (intravenous Venofer) to turn it around, but it did turn around.
I reacted strangely to venofer during the second week of my weekly infusions back in 2018. Luckily though I was still able to continue with them, but they slowed down the speed of the IV machine.
@@sonjawalkerreactionscommen3501 I did ok with it, but doctor told me that he was not seeing the increases he normally expected at traditional doses so he start increasing them considerably, and we started to see actual improvement. He was a very experienced doctor on brink of retirement and said he had never seen anything like it and still is not sure what was going on. He theorized that my body had gotten so used to operating as it was that it almost had to be jumpstarted to pull it out of the cycle it had gotten accustomed to.
I hope your health improves!!!! Love your videos! 🙏🙏🙏
