    Harlow is brilliant!! Love that she brought 2 blankets--one for you and one for her. So so sweet!

    Hope you are feeling better today. I love how Harlow takes such good care of you and snuggles when you don’t feel well.

    i really appreciated the part of the video where you show your process for your care, its really important for people (including myself) to just be exposed to medical stuff & understand how much there is to do

    Hey I just wanted to say that you are definitely not alone. I'm having a bad day too. Your video just made me smile a bit because I know I'm not the only one fighting and really helped me. Today I'm actually trying out something you too help my muscles and not type but actually speak because I get very tired from typing (on bad days very much) and so you're getting my first ever try of that. thank you for being that honest and your videos and I hope you're feeling better soon.
    Much love from the other side of the sea!

    @chelsey7312 5 років тому +30

    We don't want you to be positive all the time; it's just not realistic and WE UNDERSTAND! We just want you to feel as well as you can. It's totally okay not to be positive; especially when it feels like there's nothing to be positive about. Keep on fighting, you've got a whole army behind you ❤❤

  • @CapacityLamb666
    @CapacityLamb666 5 років тому +9

    I love how you said I dont feel like being positive! I really hate it when people keep saying oh just stay positive itll all get better. It's like no. I'm miserable let me feel this feeling. Dont make me hide the fact that I'm hurting.

    We really appreciate you filming.
    I personally want to say that I will be praying for you that you will soon be back to your normal self as you can be.
    Remember also that God is with you as well.
    Sending a big hug and love to you .

    Sometimes being chronically ill and feeling like you have to always be positive is exhausting. You do not need to apologize for being human and needing to vent. You have been an amazing encouragement to me without you ever knowing. Thanks

  • @briannebaron2742
    @briannebaron2742 5 років тому

    I'm right there with you! Thankfully I'm out of my flare now, but all last week after I pushed myself to travel to see my parents my POTS, GI issues, and chronic pain were off the charts. It's nice to know we're not alone

  • @TuggerAbbey
    @TuggerAbbey 5 років тому +4

    Sorry you are having a flair. At least you had fun with Izzy. I hope you feel better soon. It stinks having a chronic illness. Take care of yourself. It is ok to vent or complain. I hate having flair ups. This morning I am still in bed in pain. Hugs.
    In your new home you will have everything on one floor and your special room with all your treatment supplies.

  • @lelaarceneaux9101
    @lelaarceneaux9101 5 років тому

    Jackie, you are awesome and sometimes we just need to "get it out" , just to say it when we aren't feeling our best. You are a positive person and an Inspiration for me. Thank you for EVERYTHING you share. You help all of us, those with chronic illness and those without. You are sunshine even when you are feeling low,

  • @norajung4513
    @norajung4513 5 років тому

  • @rebeccahamm2349
    @rebeccahamm2349 5 років тому

    I can definitely say your not the only one in a flare Jaquie I have chronic fatigue (which makes me tired a lot of the time) so, right now because I have been doing a lot this past week and past few days its been hard getting up and staying awake. Which affects my chronic pain and stomach issues so, I'll have to agree with you that these past few days have been crappy.

  • @susanlevine779
    @susanlevine779 5 років тому +5

    What a pain about the water. I bet you'll be glad to move into your new house. I'm so sorry you haven't been feeling well. I hope you get better soon.

  • @kavitadeva
    @kavitadeva 5 років тому

    Sorry that your health is so challenging right now. However I'm glad you made this video to show us what you go through and how difficult it actually is. I have chronic illnesses so I can relate. You're right you don't always have to look for the silver lining in the cloud. Sometimes you're just in the cloud. I hope you feel better soon and start gaining some of your balance in your body back. Thanks for making this video while you were so sick.

  • @SevenSummersAgo
    @SevenSummersAgo 5 років тому

    So very sorry you’re having a flare, praying for you to get well soon and I’m so thankful Harlow is taking good care of you and your Mom. Take care and be well soon.

  • @harleycarsten5885
    @harleycarsten5885 5 років тому +7

    I just wanted to thank you for sharing your chronic illnesses with us. I have struggled with chronic pain for about 10 years (I am 20) and the doctors refuse to believe that i am in pain. I have been told that its all in my head, that my pain isnt real, that i am faking it, i am attetion seeking, ect... You have been an inspiration for me to keep looking for answers, and to stay strong.
    I hope your day gets at least a little better. Thank you.

    • @vayavos5271
      @vayavos5271 5 років тому

      I'm sorry to hear that. Keep fighting. I'm in pretty much the same situation (with some other issues) and it's really exhausting to constantly be turned away. You will find answers, I'm sure of that. Don't give up your search just because doctors think you're just seeking attention. Go to different ones. Be persistent. I know it's hard but I wish you the best of luck.
      Much love and support from over here! Keep going.

    • @LymeDiseaseRadio
      @LymeDiseaseRadio 5 років тому

      Sorry to hear you're feeling that way Harley.....have you ever had a tick bite that you can remember? Or remember when this first started? Many of us Lyme Warriors have gone to 5 to 25 doctors before not only getting the proper diagnosis, but also the correct test! Which test your doctor uses is THE MOST important (aside from which lab they use too!), so hang in there. Sometimes it just takes time to find out.....and the patience of a saint too! Oh, not only Lyme, but the co-infections that they can give you also can create massive problems so just testing for Lyme and no co infections can defeat the purpose. Good luck!

    • @SeeFair23
      @SeeFair23 5 років тому +1

      Hi Harley! I used to have severe chronic back pain, after back surgery 2007. I was on Hydrocodone, a horrible drug that gets you addicted.
      In 2014 I had an anxiety and panic attack in public. A great Dr diagnosed me with depression. I started seeing a Therapist. I 💜 her! She helped me understand that the “pain” was indeed “in my head”. Not that it’s imaginary. Not that the Pain did not start somewhere. Look up pain receptors in the brain. It’s fascinating, informative and will help you get to the point where you feel great. Not joking or lying to you. 🙏🏼

  • @skullgirrl757
    @skullgirrl757 5 років тому

    I'm sorry you're struggling but you & your videos like this are really inspiring for me as not as severe bur I have a lot of similar problems you have & am trying to be diagnosed with EDS, fibro, & maybe POTS so to see your videos about going out & doing things or ones like this where you talk about listening to your body & staying home really help me. Because often I fell bad if I have to cancel plans due to my health but you know what my health is more important & so is yours good job taking care of yourself as crappy as the situation was

  • @hollybronwyn8176
    @hollybronwyn8176 5 років тому +1

  • @Katie_Jo_21
    @Katie_Jo_21 5 років тому

    You r not alone. We care and understand. Maybe not fully but in bits. I know what it is like to miss out on something due to unimproved health. It is ok to vent. Sending you a big hug.

  • @abigaildavenport7869
    @abigaildavenport7869 5 років тому

    Wow you are so strong. I have minor medical problems with mass cell as well, but it can’t compare to what you have to go through. I hope you get through this tough patch. Also your dog is really great. I wish I had an animal to help me through some of my flairs. You are so strong and resilient.

  • @Velvet
    @Velvet 5 років тому +2

    I’m with Anna & you - ya’ll are not alone. Now & when you recorded this video. I actually had to take an ER visit on Monday for a flare up &, apparently, have walking pneumonia as well. *rolls eyes* And while I do not have a Harlow, I do have my Mau cat who is, without any airplane jokes, my emotional support animal. Even though she’s an indoor/outdoor cat, she’s been staying with me all day in bed, always having to sleep with her body along mine & no where else.
    I truly wish I could treat my flare ups & symptoms at home, as you do. But the other side of the state isn’t big on helping people the way they need to if you don’t have insurance.
    Honestly though? I saw this coming. You’ve been on the go go go for more than a few weeks. A lot of travel, a lot of Disney days & fun with friends & fam. If you didn’t see this crash coming, you’re being silly. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been amazed & so happy at how much you’ve been out & about lately!! I’m so happy that you’ve found a treatment plan that helps you a lot!
    Keep strong dearheart! And we’re all here for you so don’t worry about not being positive all the time. We’re more than allowed a couple of break downs. 💜

    @NipaG8 5 років тому

    You should be proud of yourself for making the smart decision rather than the fun decision, your health is the most important. I understand it's hard, but as always, you'll get through this. i always watch your vids when i want to feel better. you got this.

  • @hollyosgerby1901

    @mandab.3180 5 років тому

    girl i feel that so much. you do all the right things and still end up hurting or sick. i'm glad you made a complainey video.. sometimes just getting that out is cathartic! and we don't expect you to be cheery all the time, tho i do like your positivity. sending good juju.

  • @EternalParadiseSys
    @EternalParadiseSys 5 років тому

    Hey, I just wanted to say that I’m so sorry you haven’t been well and couldn’t enjoy yourself, but I’m happy that you have the strength to really make the right choices, even if it means you don’t get to go somewhere you’d like. I can’t say I completely relate, as I don’t have such extensive chronic issues, but I do have severe anxiety, ADHD, and leg pain due to an old injury. I do know how it goes being unable to eat, however, as my anxiety causes really bad GI issues. But all in all, I’m really proud of you that you are making choices to feel better rather than always the fun choice. It’s really hard sometimes. I hope you feel better soon, Jaquie.

    Hey maybe you should fill some jugs of water so you can use it when the water’s off in case something happens again! My family always keeps old juice jugs full of water in case something happens to our water.

    • @SeeFair23
      @SeeFair23 5 років тому

      Leigh B YES! When floods hit upstream from us we were warned to get other sources of water saved up until the water was treated n safe. I’m surprised Jaquie didn’t have some on hand because she’s very diligent about such things.

  • @anevenbluerjay
    @anevenbluerjay 5 років тому

    My cat understood that he wasn't allowed on the couch unless a specific blanket was on it. (He would stand by the couch and meow, wait on the floor while someone put the blanket on, then jump up onto it before we were even done smoothing it out.) Harlow probably gets it too.

  • @Not_a_snake
    @Not_a_snake 5 років тому

    Being positive all the time or faking positivity is unrealistic. Our experiences are difficult and there seems to be the expectation for us to always push forward and be positive. Sometimes I don’t feel like it. Sometimes it really sucks and I need to say it sucks.

    @katielunsford 5 років тому +2

    Careful with your IV pole girlie! I tripped over mine one night and broke my ankle in three places requiring surgery. We found putting a hook into the wall was best to hang my backpack with my feeds. Just be careful!!! I’m having a bad day too- but it is nice knowing we aren’t alone. I’m waiting on a pharmacy to call about meds being I and then I have to go get them and get a chest X-ray. Hopefully my stomach holds through all of it. Sometimes we all get sick and tired of being sick and tired.

I need to run 150ml/h of feeds and fluids through mt NJ which isn't even possible for a normal person. I have been stuck in bed for 3 months and noone is doing anything major to get me out of bed. And i can't continue training my own SD. My dad has to take over. A lot of crying today. I'm pretty done with being sick

    Have you ever tried sea-bands? I use them to help when I get nauseous. They work to an extent but not 100%, but help enough to ease some of the symptoms. I also found out I have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. Getting the diagnoses was a big ah ha answers moment. I also have the official asthma diagnoses too. We are running blood test to see if I need to start doing IVIG to help my immune systome to fight infections even with taking immno suppressing medication.

    Which kind of Dr do you recommend to make an accurate EDS diagnosis? I know genetic testing can help if it's the hypermobility type but what Dr do you recommend if it isn't genetic? And what kind of Dr referred you to Mayo? I need to make a concerted effort instead of doing nothing and feeling miserable. Did you get A POTS diagnosis before Mayo? I'm pretty positive I have it!!

    Are you safe to be by yourself when you are in this condition? Although I don't know you personally, I do feel a connection with you. I am in a wheelchair and understand safety. Just want to make sure you are safe. Good bless you Jaquie.
