I'm keeping you in my prayers, Brooke. I was diagnosed in 2013 with several auto immune conditions. One being Lupus as well as RA and OA. Life changes a bit and you have to know your limits. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you are feeling weak. Take it easy, know your limits and know you have lots of people praying for your healing. Blessings to you, Jason and Mary Carl.
Hi kjoyce! You are not alone with Lupus, RA and OA. It took 65yrs to diagnose me and now I'm 75. I will keep you in my prayers with Brooke. Stay strong! 💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖
Brooke, you will always have our support and prayers. Rest sweet lady! 💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖
Wow, girly. I was just doing some research a few weeks ago. I have RA and had some test done with a new rheumatologist. One test showed positive lupus, but everything else tested positive for RA, which I've had since the age of 15. The doctor said it isn't uncommon for a positive test like that because my inflammation numbers are super high. My research showed me that you can indeed have Lupus and RA together, but that is very rare I'm sorry you have to deal with that.😢
Brooke, just take it a day at a time, and when the body tells you to rest, listen. You got this!
You are a force to be reckoned with. Sweet lady do small chores around your place where you feel comfortable enough to do so , but please don’t overdo. Until you know what you are going to be fighting please use abundance of caution until your condition is diagnosed. You are a strong individual but please don’t wear yourself out. Save strength for healing.
Sending prayers to you Brooke
Mrs Cog Hill You Are In My Thoughts & Prayers Everyday & Night.
Its so cute that peaches has decided shes an indoor pig now 😊
@granitestater1029😂
God be with you, Brooke God is good. Mary Carl can step up and help mom more now when mom needs the help.
Your Prayer Warriors are on Duty Brooke. You just do what you can do, we have your back. 🙏🏻💞🙏🏻
Brooke, I also went through a debilitating auto immune disease. What I now realize is that my lack of empathy for myself made it worse. Grateful to see you acknowledge how tough it is. Praying.
Amen, sister!
Brooke, I agree @judithrivin2031, I also have had auto immune disease, then adult human growth hormone disease (problem with my pituitary gland) which caused heart damage. I was a very active person and athlete, then I kept going downhill and had seen doctor after doctor and it took years before I finally went to a specialist that figured what was happening. It is so frustrating when you have this stuff and it made it hard, or impossible, doing all the stuff you love to do. Praying for everybody that is frustrated with trying to do the smallest things!
I’ve gone thru breast cancer this year. And giving yourself some grace to feel bad, rest, etc is very difficult. I had to learn that. I hate not being able to lift the heavy things(dealing with some lymphedema), doing the normal homestead chores I would normally do etc.. giving yourself grace and the space to take care of you and not feel guilty is hard. Sending you love.❤️
Don't push yourself we love you and your family
hey brooke, take it easy, just do what you can, don't over do it , I'll keep praying for you.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Good morning Brooke, I'm 54 and I know what you are going through. I still set goals but I break up my tasks and force myself to slow down or stop for as long as I need to. It is frustrating that things take longer, but I find I can do more just by stopping before I get too tired. Just find your "too tired" ❤🙏
Brenda
I agree totally 💯.
Yes! Do what you can do each day. One day at a time. Some days are better than others.
Gentle hugs to you, Brooke. Take a rest when needed, and do not feel guilt for that rest. Great video and very smart stocking up on hay.
Thank you Brooke for sharing your day with us. I too went through what you’re going through while I was in the middle of going through Nursing School. It was a devastating time for me and my children, but we made it because God held me up through it all. I know you will get past this. Never give up.
Amen ! 🙏🙏🙏
I have been diagnosed with RA OA for several years now. Just need to slow down some, which I am NOT good at, and take good care of yourself. Trying to get better at taking care of myself also. I am a nurse, retired now. It is hard to ask for help, when you have always BEEN the help for others. Take care and I will pray for you.
Brooke, I'm praying for you! Please don't push yourself too hard. Only do what you feel like doing. DeeDee will have extra time to warm your lap and give you more kisses!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Will be continuing to pray for your healing and strengthening Brook! God bless y’all! ❤
Praying for your complete healing! I'm sure you know you have an army of fans behind you praying❣🙏
Your in our prayers.
God bless y’all
❤🙏🏻🇨🇦
Praying for you Brooke , asking for wisdom for your doctors . 🙏💕🙏💕
I was diagnosed with fibro almost 20 yrs ago , went thru many tests until they finally found out , i was pretty devastated, and took me awhile to come to terms with the new normal, now at 62 and a back surgery under my belt and another in my future, well it's not easy,
Keeping you in my thoughts and wishing you all the best! We love you Brooke! One day at a time at a slower speed , and not beating yourself up is hard to get used to but you can do it!
Much love from Ks ❤
Thank you for the video!
Praying for you Brooke 🙏 ❤️ and your family and your animals 🙏 ❤️
I completely understand, Brooke. Adjusting to how much strength I had to get something done was a hard lesson. After twice having to call a friend to come help when I'd run out of steam, I taught myself to gauge where my halfway point was. If I reached that point and wasn't yet done, I went home anyway. I got the most critical things done first, to make sure, but things sometimes had to wait which is frustrating. Hoping they find a good resolution to your autoimmune problems and you get healthy again!
Much love and prayers, SOUTH GEORGIA PEACH 🍑 ❤❤❤❤
PRAYERS BROOK DUE A LITTLE AT A TIME IS ALL YOU CAN DUE REST LADY 🥰🥰🥰
I’ve had some experience dealing with health issues and I found that I needed to understand my limits and pace myself. It’s okay to accept help when offered or to ask for help when needed. You are passing a blessing onto someone else. My prayers to you, Jason and MaryCarl for strength to carry on and patience while you heal.
Brook I love your video's ❤
Brooke, I feel for what you are going thru! Having been thru something similar several years ago and living on maximum allowed steroids for three years, I started researching alternative approaches for the issues my doctors told me were untreatable. I’m happy to report that with a shift in my diet and the help of supplements to fill in mineral needs not covered by diet, I was able to resolve my misery and regain my life. Along with your medical journey, please explore naturalpathic options. They are not promoted by western medicine but do work and are safer than steroids and other drugs.
AMEN ! Steroids only are not safe for anyone. I also changed my diet - big time , and take many supplements. I loved seeing that even the farm animals needed additional minerals !
So true, with advanced neuropathy & bone to bone knees I take several supplements & found they help a lot. 🙏❤️
Wow Brooke these comments are encouraging for me too. It’s comforting to see other hard working women who have had to learn “new limits” and no… it’s time to rest. Thank you everyone. It is not an easy lesson and it’s humbling for sure. Thanks for being open about your struggle because it’s helping many others too. I just keep thanking God for his lessons ❤️ and care.
Yes Janice! Absolutely right on all counts.
Please be careful with steroids. Due to an autoimmune disease known as Bechets disease I was on Prednisone for a couple years which helped with my awful symptoms but I started to get awful pain in my right knee and now dealing avascular necrosis and now need a total knee replacement. Damned if we do and damned if we don't. I will keep u in my thoughts and prayers. Fatigue is definitely REAL and 1 of the worse symptoms. Good luck and hopefully u will get answers soon.
I understand your health concerns by personal experience much like many of your viewers. Keep on keeping on, everyone!
Brooke please know your Cog Hill Farm Family are praying for you. I have posted over and over there is nothing you can't do. So try not to over do. Keep searching for answers about your health. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in my early 30s. I was born with multiple birth defects. Between the arthritis in all my joints and spine and Fibromyalgia I have chronic pain. I have good and bad days. I do what I can when I can. Like you I had a terrible time asking for help. I have no issues asking for help now. Thankfully my family lives a mile away. ❤
Praying for you and complete recovery
Ansley, blessings to you and your close family. 🕊
Prayers for a complete recovery and healing for you Brooke….remember we are always here for you and love and respect you…love yourself and rest when your body tells you to❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🇨🇦
Good morning, Brooke.
Gods watching over you!
You got this! 🎅🏻🎄
🇺🇸💖
Your in my prayers 🙏🙏🙏. Take it easy and rest
Brooke, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, concentrate on getting yourself sorted and definitely ask for help when you have to, it doesn't mean that you are weak it means that you know your limitations of right now and that to me would be a good thing. Prayers to you and get well soon.
❤❤❤❤❤
You are in my prayers, and prayers work better then any medicine ever invented! You STILL do more then I think I've ever done. Your an amazing mother, wife, and overall person sweetie. I'm confident you will heal and heal quickly. Take care and rest more!!! xoxo Nancy
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️get better real soon love ya much Brooke ❤️
Why are there so many views and so little likes. Come on people give the lady a thumbs up. 👍
🙏prayers for your health and for you and your family 🙏
You look really nice, Brooke. I love your hairstyle and you wear those shades 😎 like a boss! I also love that jacket you are wearing. The silkies have grown so well since the last time I have seen them. Enjoyed seeing the cats playing outside. Great video, Brooke and thank you for the update on your health. We are praying for you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

If the attachments are easily accessed from the road I would definitely keep my eye on them so nobody tries to steal them
Take it easy Brooke. Rest when you need to! Your health comes first. I hope you start feeling better sooner than later! Have a nice rest of the day! 😊❤️❤️
You're doing great doing what you can. Rest when your body needs it. Continuing to pray for you.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Brooke, I hear you! My motto from eatly childhood on was to stamp my foot and say I do it myself! In later life I have learned that I can not always do it myself.
Learning to say "help" is very difficult. One day I was talking with my Pastor about this. She said, people need to be able to give. If there is no request for help their chance to do so is lessened. Giving and receiving are two halves of a whole. Learning to accept my new physical restrictions and listening to my body are all part of accepting the new direction God is sending me. Not saying I'm happy about it, but I'm slowly learning to say "Thy Will be done" and smile. May the Lord bless you and yours in these difficult times.
Prayers for you and praying 🙏 that the doctors figure this out for you soon!
Hey Brooke ❤thanks for sharing another great video! I love ❤️ going on road trips with you! Good job on the tractor 🚜 ❤
Yes it will be up and down like you said. You get familiar with the disease and are able to adapt. God bless and stay safe. We wish you the best.
Hope you get it all figured out soon praying for you guys
I pray you feel better soon, Brooke! Don’t push yourself too hard, especially initially. Love your videos & TYTY for sharing! ❤️❤️🙏❤️❤️
Brooke, this is hard to get use to. I have an auto immune condition too. It's been two years now. I had to adjust my life and how I lived it. The days that I felt like myself, before this illness, I take advantage of those wonderful days and get as much as I can done. It does help if I can get ahead on some things. The days where I can only move enough to get to the bathroom, I rest. I did learn to ask for help, had too. My adult children help out a lot. They want too and I let them. My youngest daughter is a hairdresser and she does my hair now. I can't drive anymore so my son's take time to take me anywhere I need to go. Just to get me out of the house, lol. Yes, the illness took my legs and feet out, no strength in them. I am a widow so I do live by myself. BUT....my kids are thinking of adding on to the big house so that we can be an extended family. We enjoy being together all the time and it was hard on the kids as they went out in this world to get work and live their own lives. Now, it's their dream to move back to the farm again! Just take your time Brooke and do what you can and learn to leave alone the things you can't do anymore. You are going to be a beacon of light Brooke for all of us who are in a struggle of some kind with this illness. And most important keep GOD first. Many, all over the world, are praying for you Brooke. GOD bless you with excellent health, in His son's name Jesus the Christ, Amen.
We love you Brooke ❤ please don't push yourself 😢
Thanks for the video, Brooke. I don't know what it's like to have auto-immune issues, but I understand adversity of all sorts. I pray God shows you His reasons. You have a unique situation that you have a voice that can reach many via UA-cam and other platforms. Your attitude and approach; how you deal with this is on display for everyone to see. God will use that to help others. God's word says that he uses all things to the good of those who love Him. That's a promise and God never breaks His promises. He will use this to your good and the good of all of us who believe in His Son, Jesus Christ.
Amen
Amen
Amen
Yes! Amen 🙏.
The animals are grateful for their hat!!! 🥰🎶❤️🇨🇦🙏🙏🙏
Stay strong and our love and prayers are with you all!
PRAYING FOR YOUR HEALTH LADY 🙏🙏🙏♥️
Brooke youve got this. New norms or not you are still a very capable, steong, independant woman who will conti ue to ROCK at your content creating and caring for and loving you family, farm and community. You are amazing and God will help you through this. We all love you, we are rooting for you and we are all here for you!!!! ❤
God bless you, Brooke, he's with you everyday 🙏
Good Morning Brooke. Yes, take it day by day and do the best you can. My biggest piece of advice is to listen to your body. I have three autoimmune diseases and if my body says rest..I rest etc. My thoughts are with you and Jason. You are a Warrior ❤
Brook please take it easy! The new “you” needs to be OK if things don’t get done in your timing. The Lord will watch over you and Jason and Jason knows that you are doing your best! Rest when you need to and just give yourself permission to pull back some. Everything will work out! We’ve got you covered in prayer!
Good job Brooke! The critters appreciate your hard work keeping them in good feed. Now rest for a while. You've earned it. 💕💕💕💕
Brooke, you are a special lady! Your values and attitudes are an inspiration to me to be a more caring and loving person!
We are all praying for you all ! Love Liz and Stan,
Praying for you Brooke.
I love watching your videos.
You've got this.
We love you, sweet girl. ❤❤❤
Take care, Brooke, take the time you need. Good thinking about the hay. You never know if there could be a shortage.
Here's some love, Brooke! 🥰
You are awesome Brooke keep healthy and glad your feeling able to do what makes you feel good even when your body is saying different sending prayers 🙏
❤❤❤YES we CAN! Move on the good days and work through the tough ones. 🙏🙏🙏
I fully understand what you mean about simple tasks being difficult. I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma 3 years ago. Some days, just doing the simplest things can be frustrating. Prayers for a speedy recovery. 🙏
Hope you feeling beter soon 💐take care Brooke ...love from Belgium❤
I love your spirit and can't wait to see what you can accomplish. Life gets us down but we are still useful even if we have to change our plans sometimes.
Continued prayers for you Brooke 🙏🏻 You are a strong smart woman & we love you. Continue to take care of yourself ❣️❤️
Sending you healing thoughts and tons of 💗, Brooke! We all admire you and all you do!!!🫶🏼
Moody and Mildred are brother and sister.....orphans adopted by a loving family. Happens often in the people world, and in the pet world. Very best wishes !!!
Good to see you on the tractor doing what you love to do. Prayers continue for you to feel better. I just need to mention how much I love Mildred's fuzzy ears and Sylvester's white whiskers.
I have false nerve pain all over from a car accident 22 yrs ago, and my sister has an undiagnosed autoimmune disease. So, I know your pain, I hope the drs can find the right meds that works for you. I'm glad MaryCarl is in remission.
What you have gotten completed in this video is a lot when you feel drained! Rest up ❤️
I’m glad to see you up and about. Hope you’re feeling better real soon. Will be praying for you.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sending hugs, dearest Brooke! Thanks for keeping us up to date - because you know we love you!
Thank you for sharing. Love and Blessings to you all.
❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏 Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
Hi Brooke, don’t push yourself to hard we want you well or much better so you can fully enjoy life. 👍👍❤️❤️🎄🎄🇨🇦
Hang in there Brooke. The waiting is the hard part. You have lots of folks who are praying and believing you will get a definitive answer.
You did well, Brooke. Hopefully the drs can get you on the mend. Take care ❤
Prayers for you and for wisdom for the doctors to make a proper diagnosis 🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰
I am keeping you on my prayers, Brooke. You are a definite warrior. We love you, Jason, and Mary Carl so much. Peaches is so sweet. You will get healed hopefully soon.
Prayers for you and health. I’d never have guessed what was happening to your health. Take care and have a wonderful rest and good news.
Brooke, I am praying that they figure out exactly which autoimmune condition you have and you get some relief soon. Unfortunately, for me I don't check enough boxes for any specific autoimmune condition. I use tart cherry juice concentrate 2 tbsps at night to help with joint pain. Also, I recently realized that infrared sauna works wonders for my joint pain. My flares are the worst in the winter. I also have to limit my white sugar intake. I hope my suggestions work for you. I'm 5 years in and still no diagnosis but finding ways to get relief. Sending prayers your way.💜
You are an amazing woman. Don't overdo it. Rest up now till the next task another day.
good morning Brook ! we love you and your family ! Keep praying
You are a Wondwr Woman in my book. Keeping you in my prayers dear lady. Love y'all❤❤❤
As always, it was a joy to see you, step by step is all we can do. Love ya Ms Brooke
Praying for you and all who face challenging health and personal concerns. 🙏📿🙏❤️
I am happy to see that you got quite a lot done in getting the hay, water test, and the thing for the well house, Brooke ❤❤. Blessings to you, Jason, & Mary Carl 😊😊😊
You Adjust and Do the Best you Can ! God knows and is with you and you are in a many many prayers! You are a remarkable Woman !
Before I turned 50 my doctor thought I had rheumatoid arthritis but the ruehmitologist ruled it out and said I had fibromyalgia. They said no blood test for it but there are certain spots on your body that are tender with fibromyalgia. Stress can bring on a flare up. I actually think I had mild symptoms for years before but after my back surgery at 50 really brought it on. 16 years later I know not to overdo it and rest when needed. I am on medication for it . Praying you feel better soon.🙏❤️
When she first describe her symptoms it sounded like fibromyalgia to me. I was diagnosed in 1996. At that time it was fairly new and a lot of doctors considered it to be physiologic instead of physical. That has all changed now. But that was a long rough road
I have Fibromyalgia also, along with RA, OA & Osteoporosis of the hips and spine. I’m allergic to the biologics so I am on Zeljans XR for now. So far, no hives or ripping my skin off.
I feel like my bones itch and I’ve been microwaved, then rolled over by an asphalt roller. I live in our garden tub ( tankless water heater is my bestie ).
I retired at 48 medically.
Praying so hard that the Xeljanz is my miracle.
Bless your heart, prayers over you for your health to be fully restored to you🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️
My prayers are absolutely with you. I have MS and I can tell you that it can be life-changing. the things you used to do you may not be able to do anymore. But what I can tell you is that in the end, you always find ways to be able to do the things you always did.
🙏🙏🙏🔥✝️🕊️💕 Prayers for you Brooke. Y'all have been on my beart a lot lately.God bless and heal you.
Good for you Brook! You did something that benefited the farm and you took a chore off of Jason so you did great, pat yourself on the back for a productive day, no matter how big or how small the task, it’s something to be proud of and things will get better!!! ♥️🙏🏻
Keeping you lifted in prayer Brooke. Do what you can, rest as you must....lay it at HIS feet, he'll pick it up from there.
🙏🙏🙏
You are not the type of person who will let anything hold you back for long. Keep doing what the professionals advise, rest when you need to and know in your heart and your mind that we are here for you, we will wait as you get back to your usual self and if we could come and help you there would be a traffic back like no one has ever seen. You are loved by us all.❤❤❤
Brooke just take it slow and easy while doing your chores. Praying for continued strength.
Another great video Brooke! I'm praying you will find answers for your condition and feel much better soon! What a farm girl!!You do it all!
😊❤❤❤❤
Praying for your healing Brooke and for all. 🙏 🕊
