Anyone else watching in 2024? I've been rewatching Amy's vlogs. Miss you 🙏🏻
The unconditional love between you and your fur babies is amazing. Happy Birthday Eve...
I just got diagnosed with gastroparisis so I understand where you're coming from but your videos make me feel like I'm not alone. Keep gong!❤
hello, could you film a video about what can you actually eat and how much? like your "what I eat in a day." Im wondering about the portion size.
thank you and get well soon! I really like your channel.
Im sending a lot of support. :)
Yes
Amy You have had a blessing of a beautiful sister and family ❤
Hello again my love.. Your monopoly is different there.. And way better lol.. Also your Mcflurry cup is super neat.. Also better then ours lol.. I've noticed and loved the energy lately.. I see BRIGHT things in your future!! Sending my love and prayers!! ❤❤❤
I noticed that too I like there cups cool
Good Morning Amy. It is so nice to see you up and about. I love it when you take me with you during the day. You look so fresh, young and in love. It awesome to see your spirit again! You are in the same age range as my three older daughters (18, 19 24, step 25). Have a nice morning, even though I am almost a whole day behind you.
Just newly diagnosed with Gastroparesis.. :( dang its hard!
Have you ever tried seeing a Naturopathic doctor? I had a lot of really bad digestive issues, including mild gastroparisis, and I’m currently working with a Naturopathth, he’s helped me sooooooo much! He also has patients that are on feeding tubes that are able to eat more solid foods now. Also, you should look up LDN (low dose naltrexone) for ibs! It’s a non-toxic, very safe, little to no side effects drug.
Ahh we have the exact same birthday! I will be 22 as well. Plus I was recently diagnosed with gastroparesis so we are basically twins. Happy Birthday!
Emily Ripley 🎈Happy Birthday!!!🎉
Love your COURAGE AND HONOR /. Also you are very fortunate to have TOM in your LIFE ❗️💕💕💕💕🌹
I love egg rolls. Since I can't eat much due to gastroparesis, I eat an egg roll (and a half, if I'm able) the day we order the food, and I save the chicken lo mein as left overs for the rest of the week. I haven't had any since getting ill, but I used to love crab rangoon. It is delicious but very rich, so I'm not sure how safe it will be.
I am a fan of Sichuan Mala. My favorite dish is Shui Zhu Yu or Sichuan boiled fish.
all kind of food is tasty, and more when you have really few options to eat!
Amy dont forget to smile and above all laugh, no matter what!! :D
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEEK AMY💖✨💜
I love the way you say Um with your British accent!!! “Um... Dogs” (with eye roll) 🤣 ikr but seriously dogs are adorable. I just happened to keep ending up with cats!
She's Australian
I’m pretty sure that i have gastroparesis i’ve been trying to get a diagnoses for my severe stomach pains and vomit and all that ‘fun stuff’ for over 6 months now, it really horrible. I have to wait till the my town has a gastroenterologist till i can get tests. But even then i will be sent to Brisbane which is 4 hours from where i live NOT KEEN
First Amy I want to tell you HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!🎈 I hope your day goes amazing!!! Ok so for the vlog- I love the pitter patter of your dogs’ nails on the hardwood. It is so sweet! And I’m glad to hear the new med is helping in more than one way! That Monopoly app was pretty fancy. I’ve never really liked Monopoly so the McDonalds game is only cool to get instant rewards. And for Chinese I am pretty boring. Really love sesame chicken and spring rolls.
Love Chinese food but it doesn’t love me 😩 But my favorite food is sesame chicken. Oh and I love lo mein noodles. Yum! I’m the same...I can only eat about one “meal” a day
I do like Chinese food. My favorites are General Tso ( not hot ), crab rangoons and won ton soup. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. HAVE A GOOD ONE!!
Ohh!! Love Chinese food!! Almond chicken and shrimp chowmein.... Egg rolls YUMMY!! Good to see ya.... In and out of the hospital myself. Happy Birthday... 🎈🎈🎈
happy early birthday Amy. Hope you enjoy lunch with your mum and dinner with Tom the following day. My go to in the chinese is either special chow mein or sweet n sour chicken
'Arent weez good tap dancers Mummy?' lol
Amy you deserve so much better than all the illness you have. It is a burden for you to carry, and you carry it well. In the USA you can earn up to 600.00 I believe and still get get your disability benefits. so if you earn a little less you should be fine. It might be beneficial to get an attorney pro bono that will help you. You and Tom can not afford your medical bill and meds without the assistance.you are doing a great job. Love you both.
I LOVE Chinese food. Can’t really eat it anymore. But I used to love bbq pork, orange chicken, chow mein, crispy crab/cream cheese wontons, sweet and sour chicken, egg rolls, fried rice, steamed rice, um...ok so like half the menu. Ya...so hungry now, LOL. I hope your Chinese food is as yummy as my memories of it are! 😁
Love your furrbabies so cute. Look very similar to mine. I had a black pomeranian and still have a cream short haired chihuahua ♡
Your Monopoly is so much cooler than ours! Favorite Chinese food = chicken with broccoli :)
My oven makes that noise as well it’s so annoying
Can you tell us the recipe you used for the shortbread? It looked delicious!
So cool we have the same one cup kettle. They r the best as u can use all different amount.. 🤗
I love you so much, you are so strong !! my best friend has GP as well
Happy birthday sweetie
Special fried rice, chips and curry or chicken chow mien 😍😍 if only I love prawn toast too haha x
I love the General Tso's but it roughs my stomach up so bad (peptic ulcer disease) I often go with Bourbon Chicken. Cream Cheese Rangoon is my favourite starter.
You look amazing as always girlie! My favorite Chinese food is sesame chicken, sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, egg rolls, and egg drop soup!! Mmmmm now I'm hungry for Chinese and I'm broke . . . . Lol
I can't believe your so young! You make me feel really old!!! Happy (early) Birthday sweetie! ❤ Shonda
Just like to children can not mind.
Haha that's so funny. They tryed to trick u. Bless them... but mum.we.want to bark at just anything we can coz it's so much fun lol xx
Depending on what has caused it. After extensive research, I have faith that they could be possible a way to effectively cure it or atleast reduce the symptoms. Gastroperesis caused by diabetes and autoimmune diseases is more difficult to treat but gastroperesis caused by physical injury to the vagus nerve during stomach or heart surgery is impossible to cure, especiallly it was cut and not just bruised. I recommend that we all buy a tens machine and tens ear clips which you can connect onto electrodes (wires) which connect to the machine. Research on low vagal tone and vagus nerve stimulation (tvns). Also research heart rate variability. Im going to also buy a strap on heart rate monitor with bluetooth to monitor my heart rate variabilty using an app. As you stimulate your vagus nerve, your heart rate viarability should increase, giving you an indication that your vagal tone is increasing. Also research on how and when to take readings. If you open you mouth at the back lies a hanging mass like a punching back (called the uvula). It should be hang straight down. If it is deviated to one side or does not retract when you say Ahhh, this could be a good indication that you vagus nerve has been damaged. The hypothesis is that by stimulating the vagus nerve,one could possibly treat or cure gastroperesis. Now this is still a new discovery medically and we are all different with other comorbidities. I dont even think doctors know this is possible. Alteast 99.999% of them don't. I have dysautonomia and gastorperesis.
See when our vagus nerve is damaged by long term physical or psychological trauma including stress or illness, gastroperesis and other symptoms kick in. Our bodies become stuck in the sympathetic state which is our figh or flight response to danger. By stimulating the vagus nerve with a tens machine and tens ear clips (saw them on ebay and Amazon) you will within time (see difference in 6 weeks) increase you vagal tone (more like lifting weight for muscles) thus retraining your body to activate your parasympathetic nervous system which is our rest and digest response. See our vagus nerve is there for homeostasis. When we perceive danger it kicks into the sympathetic state, widens our pupils and increases our heart rate, preparing our bodies for fight or flight, run away. This kind of stimulation (a light zap on the targus region of the ear) is said to reactivate our parasymapathetic vagus nerve which is the normal state of not being in danger, and which is when rest and digestion is prioritized. On a healthy vagal tone this is how our brain communicates with all our organs, through the vagus nerve (a two way phone line). The vagus nerve conducts every involuntary actions in our bodies like a perfectly timed symphony. If you have a poor functioning vagus nerve (low vagal tone) many other problems can arise. These are depression, anxiety, poor concentration, acid reflux, abnormal heartbeats and hoarse voice, difficulty swallowing, nauses, reduced stomach acids and regulating body temperature, insomnia, lightheadedness and chronic fatigue . The vagus never also controls hormonal releases and tells you when you are hungry or full. A normally functioning vagus nerve controls inflammation in our bodies which is why a low vagal tone is associated with many autoimmune diseases. These diseases cause neurapathy which is damage to the peripheral nerves including sometimes the vagus nerve. When the vagus nerve is affected, a form of dysautonomia results which is the malfunctioning of the autonomic nervous system. This in turn slows down gastrointestinal motility(movement), because the brain can no longer communicate effectively with your gut. The autonomic nervous system is the systems that controls all our involuntary bodily functions like our internal organs and blood pressure etc. Our stomaches don't expand as they should to accommodate food coming in when we eat and that is why we feel pain, nauseas or early fullness. The stomach muscle contractions are weak because the are controlled by the vagus nerve. The pyloric valve which opens up to let digested food out of the stomach and into the small interstines also mulfunctions, causing us to become bloated and to feel abdominal pains. Cells within the stomach can not tell the brain what foods we have consumed so that the right amount of acids within the right ph can be released, leading to food intolorences and malnutrition. That beautiful symphony between our internal organs and brain is messed up and needs to be rebalanced.
They are ways (you can search on the internent) to stimulate your vagus nerve without using a tens unit but they are less effective and more difficult to be consistent at. I'm from South Africa and I've had this seen June 2020. I have all sorts of symptoms and I'm going to give the tens unit and ear clips a shot. I really have much faith in it after researching on the topic plus it's really my last hope. Doctors here are quiet dismissive and you'll end up thinking you've all alone or that you've totally lost your mind. I have about 90% of the symptoms I wrote above and all the doctor is treating are symptoms with antidepressants and pain killers (the side effects where worse than what they were trying to treat, so I stopped the medications). I'm now just taking suppliments like magnesuim, multivitamins and vitamin b12. People with pace makers more especially a heart pacemakers or any electronic implants for that matter should not use the tens machine to stimulate the vagus nerve without talking to their doctors first as it could affect the way their pacer works. Trying to raise awareness about the possible treatment after months of self diagnosing myself and looking for a cure. The tens machine should not hurt but give a tolerable stimulation for about 20 minutes a day. I think people who say they were spontaneously healed from gastroperesis some how managed to regain their vagal tone or recover from a low vagal tone thus curing thier gastroperesis. I dont want to recommend a tens unit here but I have currently ordered one and a set of ear clips. On this model you can set the pulse rate and widths for better results. Praying and wishing everyone good luck. Remain positive and know that even if we find out that it does or does not cure gastroperesis, it has been proven to dramatically lessen the symptoms of gastroperesis and ones overall health in general. Spread the word if you find this method successful. God bless everyone.

Guuurrrrrl when's your birthday? Mines August 4th im 24 we're basically the same age!🤗 I was officially diagnosed with gastroparesis in May but I've been having symptoms since I was 17 progressively getting worse. Now I have my pacemaker! My sisters also had it for 8 years now!
She's died...
@@Grande_G. Oh my gosh! When?
@@amandacavanaugh2695 1 year ago...😔
@@Grande_G. Thats absolutely devastating 😢
@@amandacavanaugh2695 yess☹️
Me and my entire tattoo shop would play the monopoly board together, we would do lunch runs their like 3 times a week for customers and employees, put all our stickers in a bin, and share one board......we never won anything other than a coffee or fries lmao...I’m talking like a shop of 13 ppl all buying from McDonald’s like 3+ times a week, and every single year, we were always short of just one sticker....the exact same sticker too..., 3 years straight we had the entire board except this ONE same sticker, that apparently they only send to like 2% of all McDonald’s around the world. But yeah, anyways, After my entire shop played for 3 years straight eating there multiple times a week, and never winning anything more than a coffee or fries, we all realized it really is just a big scam lol.
My fav Chinese food is fried rice and honey chicken
My favorite Chinese restaurant is PF Chang’s Orange chicken.
I don't like mc donalds anymore I used to when I was younger. I LOVE chick-fil-a its the best
Of course i love Chinese food! Who doesn't?!😂 my fave is sweet and sour chicken with egg fried rice👌
Omg I miss Chinese and Indian food so so much. 😢😢. I'm lead here in agony now. I did my monthly and I sure it makes my gastroparesis so much worse. I had a hot choc with cream b4 beds I'm I'm lead here feeling so sick in so much pain right now. Wishing I didn't have it. I have a fear of being sick I have esophageal dysmotility and I get spasms in the oesophagus as well so it causes problems with being sick it doesn't actually come up easy and when it does a joke on it hence the phobia of being sick. Pray g I can get through the night with sick pills and by morning it will ease off and almost me.out of my stomach. My fault I didn't do all my enamas tonight so it kind of gives me extra pressure. It's all crap ain't it chick.
But Chinese food I was bit boarding and loved chicken chow main, egg fried rice, prawn toast even though I would never touch prawns alone lol. Chips. With curry sauce and sweet and sour sauce and have the sweet n sour on the egg fried rice and curry sauce on the chow main. Or as a 2nd I would have the house fried rice. (Specail fried rice)
I miss hot hot curries... I miss cooking, I can can't stand to do it no more and I know Dean misses it aswell as he loved all my home made things.
I use to be a hairdresser and was for almost 15 years. I miss that so much aswell. Then thought myself how it decorate cakes and omg I use.to get so many orders a week and would make.all different cakes. Dean misses that aswell...

How does an antidepressant help with tummy pain? I’m confused!
who was the girl in this video your sister? she looks just like you!!!! x
Honey Chicken or Satay Beef! xx
What antidepressant are you on and what is it helping gi wise?? I see my psychiatrist in like 2 weeks and we are going to talk about them.
She made a video a couple of days ago about why she was on them but she's not on them for depression as far as I'm aware she does not have depression but yeah they do help
Chronically Amy I’m not sure which one she’s on but mirtazapine is calming to the stomach, so it might be another one that’s similarly calming. Hopefully she lets us know!
She's on Cymbalta for her stomach and yes she does have depression, she's talked about it in her videos a lot.
fibro unicorn Thankyou I’m new to her channel and have mostly been watching older videos where she spoke about mental health and said she didn’t have any mental health problems of her own however that was nearly two years ago that’s why I wasn’t sure if things had changed x
@@Marshmallowcupcake10 Hi, you're welcome! Yes, she's addressed the depression in just the past few months from what I recall. She's been thru quite a lot recently with her health and all. You'll see as you begin to catch up with everything. 😊
Special fried rice pork balls sweet n sour duck. Ribs (not spicy) 😊
Chinese food ? uum, don't like meat but love the smorgasbord so I can heap up on veges noodles and rice. ooh and egg foo yong.
