Been following you for a while and when this particular video popped up in my feed, I thought it strange as I already watched it long agoo. Yet, something told me to watch it again, and there was indeed a message in it for me right now. Do you know what a beautiful shining light you are for the Lord? You help to draw starngers nearer to him. I cannot thank you enough for being you. xo
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I’m so grateful to anyone one who shares their story with diseases- it makes anyone facing them just a little less scared to know they’re not alone.
Wow I remember this video from 6 years ago and just caught your recent updates today. Praise the lord you are still proclaiming his name with that same joy and beauty today!!! I’m so grateful for you and the words you share. Thank you for sharing your journey 🥰
Your such a calm, beautiful person. I’m so sorry your experiencing this. Your seem amazing. Your a great mother and a great person. We need a cure for ALS.
Thanks for sharing your history as this is a great help. A terrible thing to happen to such a lovely lady. Your comments on chemical exposure are very pertinent. 4 years ago I was exposed to a chemical vapor in a truck I drove for 3 months. Truck was leaking a gas that comes from a chemical used to reduce the emissions in the diesel exhaust. It gave me terrible headaches everyday. I put up with it as I thought that it may be the plastics gazing off in the cabin because it was a new prime mover. They took it off me thought and sent it to another city. The driver crashed that truck. I had smelt that strange smell in one other truck at another trucking site. I only smelt it in one out of 40 trucks at that site. I asked some driver about it and he believed it to be that chemical I mentioned. I read the label on the container and it warned about breathing the chemical as it is known to cause neurological damage. Not long after this I started experiencing multiple nervous system problems. My strength disappeared in arms and legs. Could hardly lift fork to my mouth and food would fall out of mouth when trying to chew. I would fall over several times a day. I would drag myself to work and stagger from car park to my work site. I crashed to the floor in the office and they all jumped up in horror. I quickly got up and said I’m ok. They think I must have just tripped over, (but on nothing). My muscles would have annoying twitching that sometimes cover large muscles for a couple of days before moving to other areas of body. Arms and legs would be half numb for months and my leg muscles withered like I was living in a nazi concentration camp. I would wake up at night and not know where my arms were as they were completely dead from the shoulders down. The fatigue was so great that every step was agony of exhaustion. We would take dogs for walk but I would have to lay down on road every minute to rest. I would stumble and fall over every time the dog tugged on the lead. My saliva turned to jelly and cleaning teeth was difficult. My urine had a chemical smell for months. I started researching my symptoms and looked at ALS. I began to worry when picking things up they would fall out of my hand. I saw that some of my symptoms were like what ALS patients experience but saw that it was not progressive with me. The multitude of symptoms I recorded and showed the doctor, who basically believed that it was all in my head. I eventually was able to see a neurologist who didn’t bother with my 10 pages of symptoms and smiled and told my I will be ok and believed I was imagining it all. He didn’t say that but his face did. I am not a hypochondriac at all. I am a hard worker and took no time off work even though feeling so ill. I was worried the boss might stop me from working if he saw me falling over but most of the time no one was around when it happened. I was in a large church meeting and was trying to walk down a row of seating but kept falling over like I was drunk. I felt like explaining to some people my problem but thought they may not understand so just sat down in embarrassment. 4 years on I only fall over about once a week. My strength feels greatly weakened in arms and legs. Twitching is rear now except I got bad twitching for a day last week after a long absence. I collapsed at the shopping mall during the week and ended up down on my shoulder on ground.Quickly got up and my wife was embarrassed that I should do this in public but I had no control over it. Security guards asked me if I was ok and I just smiled and said ok and walked on. It would appear that chemicals had something to do with all this but as I only drink pure water and am vegan that without even doing a detox the chemicals have slowly washed out of my body. However, there maybe long lasting if not permanent damage to my body. Some days I feel incredible ill and burning nerves thru whole body head to toe. I shared this so that chemical awareness in regard to nervous system breakdown is a real possibility. I hope your symptoms are slow in development since now it is June 2018. Your right about our spirit. Our body is only the house that our spirit dwells in as the apostle Paul stated. When this house is dissolved we have a new house/ body for our spirit to dwell in. A body that won’t break down but is eternal for all those who are in Christ. This life is a cruel sad experience but with fleeting joys but God will cleanse this planet with fire and make a new Earth where only love reigns and all nature is in perfect harmony. God bless your soul.
I just found your channel & want to praise you for making these videos during the most difficult part of your life. I will learn to play my electric guitar that I’ve had for 5 years now in honor of you. Thank you for your tutorial videos, because of you, I will play my guitar one day! I am so sorry for your hard life that you lived in a very positive & brave way. People with your horrible diagnosis will now be able to understand what will happen with your disease as it progresses & maybe not be as scared. You are a true gem Laura Jean, redefined perfectly & for a purpose. God is good, I believe that too! Life is good, hard sometimes but in the end it is good! Keep the spice, I will! 😊 bless your heart girlfriend ❤
"The jewel being refined". I don't think you could have said that better. Completely beautiful. You're a beautiful soul and you moved me to tears. I am awaiting testing and have never known this level of fear. I too have little ones, I'm 38. Thank you for sharing part of your life with us. I know this may sound trite but you can believe it when I tell you that you and your family will be in my prayers.
Dear Tina, the diagnosis phase of whatever issues you are dealing with is one of the most difficult because of the unknown. May you feel God's peace and comfort. So glad my video is an encouragement to you. If you want to talk more feel free to message me.
Hi, I was diagnosed with Primary Lateral Sclerosis-PLS which is a Variant of Lou Gehrig's disease-ALS in 2012 at 56. I currently still walk with a rollator and use the power wheelchair for long distances and clinic visits to Philadelphia, have mild dysphagia and slowed speech. I'm in the beginning of my seventh year of this illness and having a good positive attitude is so important,
Yes God is here. Don't ever forget that. He's giving you your strength to get through this, my dear. When my SIL was diagnosed she was very religious. We are catholic and she went to church every Sunday. She hated God for awhile. When she finally realized that the hate was shortening her life even more it was too late. She was also bi-polar and depressed. She only lasted 14 months. I miss her so much. This disease is genetic her grandmother and her cousin also died from it. I'm worried about the kids now. Stay strong beautiful mommy!
Many people who get ALS live near lakes and the ocean. Some type of algae in the water is toxic, and causing Parkinson, Alzheimer’s and ALS. When she said she sailed and did cliff diving, my heart dropped. Hopefully, more research is done and hopefully a cure
With the amount of pollution, and microplastics in the ocean, thats a very interesting fact. Our government is releasing all kinds of stuff on us more and more every year. EVERY ONE is sick now all the time.
I have interstitial cystitis and I thought it was interesting you mentioned you got bit then developed urinary issues. I have met women who have Lyme and developed Interstitial Cystitis as a secondary disease, why that happens we don't know. But I thought I would just mention that, you never know. Thank you for sharing your story.
You said you were bitten by something and developed hives or rash? Please look into Lyme! My doctors office did blood work and it always came back negative but in California there is a Lyme Lab called "IGeneX" you can order a free kit, have a doctor sign off on it and send it in. The basic Lyme Panel is around $175 , highly recommended after starting to listen you talk about hiking, traveling and living in the NorthEast !!! I am from Massachusetts, now live in Arizona. Ticks and Lyme are a rising epedemic !
Yup !!!! Untreated Lyme caused my Parkinson's and has been known to be MS and to be ALS ! She never responded to my suggestion but Lyme is serious and if treated , you can live a better quality of life
Willow W chronic Lyme is causing multitude of neurological symptoms, complicated by food triggers, chemicals, mold, etc. plus having the MTHFR gene messes with the methylation, critical for nerve health. Check out the pathologist in Canada, McDonald, he is finding brains loaded with Lyme from patients diagnosed Alzheimer's, ms and ALS! Most doctors do not know anything about this. This pathologist has been reporting his findings since 1985!!!
I just recently discovered this channel. I also have Lyme Disease. I have been sick for 2 years with POTS and then this year a lot of neuro symptoms. Mainstream medical hasn't had any answers for me despite multiple tests, hospitalizations, ER visits, etc. As my symptoms changed from POTS to more MS type symptoms, my chiropractor, who practices applied kinesiology, tested me for Lyme disease. The way he tested me was testing my muscle response to holding a vile that contained the same frequency that is found in the Lyme bacteria. Scientists have discovered that every organ, every different type of cell and every virus, bacteria, etc., all have different frequencies. When you body is exposed to a frequency that stresses it, your muscles will go weak. It sounds very strange, but using this methodology, my chiro diagnosed me with Lyme.. I was skeptical, not having any bite or bullseye rash, etc and so I went to my family doctor and asked to be tested. I tested positive both for the antibody test and it was confirmed by the Western Blot. To me, this proved that AK/muscle testing works! The great news is it is very inexpensive. My chiropractor includes it in his $50 per visit charge.. It can save thousands on testing.. It can reveal vitamin deficiencies, and which herbs your body needs to address your illness. I would highly recommend finding an applied kinesiology practitioner and being tested for Lyme that way.. The blood tests are notorious for false negatives. I had to sign a waiver for the first antibody test, acknowledging how unreliable it is!
They are saying that ALS is contributed to Lyme Disease....... I went 9 years undiagnosed with Lyme and now I have Parkinson's Disease. I watched a awesome documentary on Lyme called "Under our Skin" and there is a Doctor on there that was DX with ALS and being treated with Antibiotics for Lyme. Check it out ! Hope your doing well
Ciprofloxacin has a bad reputation. I developed POTS and Fybromyalgia after a neck injury. Although, symptoms may have started before it though, I think. I have a hard time functioning now and I'm on disability. I don't have ALS, I can't imagine what that's like, I don't claim to either. I've had a life time of emotional and physical trauma leading to C PTSD and severe anxiety. ADD as well. I've never been particularly healthy. I wish my faith was stronger! I grew up learning God as was ready to punish us. Years ago, it was stronger, but in that past 8 years with the loss of my marriage of 24 years and worsening health and increasing anxiety, that being the worst, because I feel fear and I think that makes me believe God has left me, or has rejected me. I hope not, that scares me so much!!! I Love seeing your videos. I just saw these today, I had to watch this one of you too. Hope I make it to see you in heaven though. Please pray for me . I'll pray for you as it seems God hears my prayers for others, just not for myself, yikes, I know...
Remember what Jesus said when he healed the woman who was bent over... he put ALL the responsibility and blame on satan.. He said that satan had "bound" her for 18 years! Also, think of the parable of the wheat an tears... how did the tears get planted to choke out the wheat? According to the Bible, "an enemy has done this".. It is all very hard to understand.
no God has nothing to do w negative evil things our demise comes from adams sin n it states clearly sin came through one man n death through sin n thus death spread to all men thts a pagan doctrine, its nothing to do w God at all
may Jehovah God psalms 83:18 help carry you through Jesus, until new world order Daniel 2:44 , comes,, psalms 37:29-34 . even the dead shall rise soon- john 5:28,29. all my luv to u.
this is a sad video.. but a very beautiful video.. the sky, trees, birds chirping, baby babbling, mother's soft voice... They have to find a cure..

Rhine Island I agree with you ,,a beautiful spirit shines through making life amazing...
Thank you so much for sharing your heart. It means so much to me. My husband is in the diagnosis stage of ALS. We are processing.
Not an easy diagnosis to process. God give you peace and strength, friend.

There are high instances of ALS in people near water and eating fish. God Bless
Lou gehrig ate lots of eel. It was confirmed to be a cause.
@@lastcall170 wow
Wouldn't that be a mercury thing?
@@isaach5489not necessarily. Not all fish have mercury. From my cursory research, its something to do with the toxic algae
Love you ..you are in my prayers and sending hugs and love 💕
Hi I would recommend reading this book by Harold S. Kushner WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE.
Bernadette Fleming that book is awesome
