As someone who actually experiences seizures and a shit ton of other random body movements, I can confirm these are so fake that I can almost physically smell the bullshit
Me too. I have epilepsy and my mom, who is the person who’s seen me have all of my seizures firsthand, said that none of these women’s shaking seems remotely the same or accurate.
@@bananawitchcraft The fact that it's never in the leg they're putting weight on when they're standing, the inconsistent tremor, and the exaggerated motions are all big indicators. Plus the kindergarten-level acting.
That's how I felt as soon as I saw the first clip! I don't know if I have seizures but I definitely have tics and tremors, it doesn't look like this lmao
this lady is acting with all the conviction of an 11 year old pretending to have amnesia to their classmates after reading about it in a Nancy Drew book
My heart goes out to Shakira, one of the earliest victims of the covid 19 vaccine shakes. She's been suffering for decades with indescribable body movements and has become an international sensation despite her obstacles.
Honestly her condition is terrible and I wish her only the best and hope she can recover eventually but can we take a moment and talk about the absolute nerve her parents had naming her "Shakira" after the condition itself? It would be like my parents naming me "Dumbass" after my unfortunate condition that I have no control over, diabetes! What kinda of parents do that sort of thing to their child? These truly are the end times.
As a disabled person I really appreciate you bringing up the harm that these people do to actual disabled people. It really sucks and I don't want attention over my disabilities, I just want to be treated like a person.
Imagine being a person who actually has epilepsy and then seeing this shit all over the internet. It must be so damaging and offensive. I mean, *I* don't have to imagine.
i don't have epilepsy, but i have rly intense muscle spasms from spinal cord shit and until one of these dipshits breaks their foot kicking over their coffee table i won't be impressed
I spent a FULL YEAR convinced that I was making up my tremors. I still wonder, on my better days, if I'm just being overdramatic, and on my bad days, I can't even do simple tasks like cooking, brushing my hair, or typing on a keyboard. Shit like this makes me have to fight even harder to be taken seriously as a disabled person. These people have no idea what it's like to live with tremors and no sympathy for anyone but themselves.
I'm so sorry. I have met someone whose entire life was ruined by this shit [I am not aware what her particular condition was but tremors and brain fog and lack of coordination]. She can't drive, she's not allowed to see her kids, she can't get a job. She broke down crying one night because she was so tired of everyone always assuming she was drunk or going through withdrawals. It was absolutely heartbreaking.
I don’t have tremors, but I have something in that area, and I feel like it gets underplayed just how weird it is to have your body do things that feel totally controllable, but aren’t. My eyes go out of focus and I think “yeah I could fix that” then I sit there and Don’t. Why do brains do this :”)
And some people are giving the fakers an out through Munchaussen. No. They know what they're doing and what they're doing is wrong. They get off on it.
and how in one of the videos the boomer forgot she turned the camera on so her legs are perfectly still for a good 2-3 seconds until she realizes shes recording now LOL
My Mom died from complications after having had covid. Her immune system was none existing and she was so weak that she died from pancreatic infection. I don't think i can even begin to describe how much these people piss me off.
My immune system and body overall seems to be almost indestructrable.. but it still fucked me up. Ive seen death. This felt similar. Fucking horrible that people spread misinfo abt something like this.
He leaves behind three children - Boy (47) , Better Boy (45) and Girl Boy (age unknown). His final wish was to be given a traditional Nepalese Sky Burial but due to budgetary constraints his remains were melted down and turned into fat balls for migratory birds. It's what he would have wanted, RIP Jom "Jommy" boy 🪦⚰️🪦⚰️
It pisses me off when people say COVID-19 isn't real. I was sick over my 21st birthday this year, had a 102F fever, and now have a serious heart condition. When I stand up, my heart rate jumps to over 130bpm, and I get incredibly lightheaded. I'm looking at maybe having to drop out of college and abandon my chosen field (preschool education) because I will no longer be able to meet the physical requirements for such a job.
I just had mono and I'm having the exact same thing. Look into pots if you haven't already, that's what they suspect I have. Get accommodations and reach out for help! I'm not saying it'll be easy, but it'll help lighten the load a little, especially if you keep your professors updated about what's going on (I've bothered mine so much they all know my face and name)
Look into POTS, it can be caused by covid. I had it before covid but it was made worse after getting it. Hope you can get some help, i know how rough it is.
My friend is going through pretty much the same thing. Resting heart rate of 140, difficulty with physical exertion, difficulty breathing, etc. "Long covid" is pretty fucked.
People don't really talk much about the long lasting effects of covid. So many people including very young people have issues they'll have to deal with for the rest of their lives.
You also a fellow POTS patient? I had POTS before covid but covid made my condition much worse. I'm functionally disabled now it's like I was mugged by mother nature and these wacko conservatives gaslight me constantly.
as someone who cannot hold their phone still for a video for the life of me without having any condition, the fact that these people can film their condition is like a wonder of jesus
love how their legs start vibrating faster and more vigorously when they rip the blanket off. or that split second when the video first starts where you can see the legs perfectly still before putting on the little act. i must admit, though, this looks like it could be a real cool workout. i can feel my leg muscles burning watching their effort.
I have several neurological disorders including fibromyalgia, tics, RLS, and tremors, as well as muscle spasms and it is so PAINFULLY OBVIOUS that they are faking it that it’s embarrassing. Not only are they faking disorders but they’re also treating it like it’s the worst possible thing, like believe it or not I live a fulfilling life regardless of my chronic illness!
Yeah, I usually don’t like to say anyone’s faking bc a lot of actually disabled people have been accused of faking/weren’t taken seriously, but these ladies are SO fucking obvious about it, there’s no way they’re really experiencing what they claim. And you’re right, the way they talk about it is insulting to chronically ill and disabled people.
I'm a nurse. These look exactly like the kind of "seizures" people would fake to try and get a longer hospital stay or get some ativan. A good way to test if you know someone is faking is to take an empty saline flush and act like youre going to squirt it at them. All the sudden their seizure or tremors magically stop. My favorite was when we were restraining an 89 y/o man because he kicked a nurse in the stomach, locked himself in our bosses office and then tried to stab us with pens, luckily he only grabbed dry erase markers. Anyways as we were putting him in restraints he started shaking very obviously. I said "Oh my god! Sir are you having a seizure??" and he responded "Yes!" and we all had a good laugh.
As someone who shakes both involuntarily because of my anxiety and RLS and as a purposeful stim for adhd, it is so easy to tell the difference between shaking because your body is making you versus making yourself shake. Edit: thanks for all the love (and hate❤️) never expected saying I have personal experiences that are contrary to those shown in the TikTok clips would make people assume I’m an ableist basement dweller. Still it’s fun to read comments and see the lack of eloquence and relevance in regards to the topic of disability so I guess pop off queen😊
Speaking of anxiety, what a wonder that BENZOS are "helping". They're fine for an unexpected grand mal in an emergency room patient, but their primary use is for ANXIETY. They replaced barbiturates as the "safer" alternative to what killed Marilyn Monroe, but they're more addictive than opiates, and the withdrawals can include seizures and death. They're _the_ worst thing to prescribe to patients like those in the video, who are clearly somewhere between hypochondriasis and Munchausen's. I say "between" cos the latter usually tends to involve causing harm, not just faking, to get medical care, attention, and social support [like GoFundMe campaigns and 15 minutes on Facebook]... But I'm not a doctor, so. Oh wait, isn't "friend of the channel" JB Peterson a psychotherapist? I heard he has experience with benzos. Erroneously called "antidepressants" by a lot of people who told the story (like, all but just a few). I note _not_ to take the mickey [addiction is no joke] but cos those are something he'd have prescribed plenty, and would have been very well-acquainted with, as an anxiety med and practising shrink, respectively. Point is: no one is immune to medication dependence, even those who know it well. But also, all that "bootstraps" business, yet he went globetrotting to find a way to get a very dangerous "procedure" to escape the pain of recovery (being put into a medically-induced coma to "sleep through" the withdrawal - not legal in North America cos that's malpractice!). And even after that, it was just 12 more bootstraps, now with more blaming minorities. Smh. Though, honestly, that aside, I _am_ putting his credentials under scrutiny. It's a wonder he's only very recently begun to come under fire and his license to practise possibly to be revoked. He balks, but it's something he hasn't done in at least 5 years, and on balking, despite his _constant_ trashing of colleges & universities as "liberal indoctrinating factories" or w/e, he sure is upset about that "worthless" scrap of paper for a thing he stopped (probably cos of the grievance filed against him by a patient who he harassed, long before his fame) and now claims he _"wouldn't_ do anymore" and "can't rightly do cos of stifling laws" (including citing the Canadian ban on conversion therapy as a hindrance! GrossMan!). Ahem. Sorry, OP. That got away from me, there. I know anxiety. And ND... Sorry for ranting in your thread. I just really don't like how people will do this kind of stuff. It's selfish, it's mean, it's silly & looks ridiculous, and it's just... sad? The state of things? Eh. Cheers, friend. ❤︎
I've had psychological responses to anti-psychotics and bad settings that cause me movements that I can't tell if they are involuntary or not, because sometimes they would be, sometimes not, sometimes both, and sometimes it was hard to tell. I didn't record it for vanity like these people, but I didn't dunk on anyone over the interwebs for money too, so go touch grass. Just because no one's experience is analogous to another's does not mean you can sit there and take sides based on who's your friends. Feels antithetical to the concept of "humanity" or whatever. But humans are all the same, I know that much. =)
@@ageoldmary a lot of gofundmes are real. That being said, a lot are also fake. Another reason why socialist policies are good - less of a scam chance while helping people faster, possibly allowing them to escape their bad situations. That being said, gofundmes allow access to different country help, which is nice feature.
@@Alex-cq1zr the problem with socialism is that it's redundant. (and btw a go fund me is not socialism.) like my town has a tool library that they call "communism" if you use. but it's 80$ a month. I am poor and could never afford that. If they subsidized it it would be socialism. so why do we need it to cost money at all? why can't people safely rent tools to "make the neighbourhood a greener and safer place" rather then only be able to do that if they already have money. That is called a meritocracy, and it rewards those with money, with more options, and more money. it has always functioned on money. And if you want one that functions on actual merit you are HARD missing the point. *Solar-punk* is the only *real* way forward. Look up "Andrewism" here on yt, he explains that stuff a lot better and a lot less angrily then me.
@@ageoldmary gofundme isn't socialism. In capitalism, it's a band-aid for the lack of socialism. Meritocracy is just a capitalist lie. Solarpunk i know of is basically socialism, just given a new name to bypass the "logic shutdown" trigger to socialism created by cold war propaganda. Reminds me a bit of how nazis rebranded as alt-right a bit of time ago to shrug off the association with their idols' atrocities.
it really does look forced... I hate speculating on whether people are faking symptoms, but yeah it's so painfully obvious. my mom has MS and she gets tremors and needs to use a cane in summer heat, the only reason it's not worse is probably because she has medications for it, which are injected so... lol
Mines just take a while to go and usually require some prompting My father called his bad nerves I do mine because it gives me something to do. That being said I suffer from panic disorder so it's a Case of whether or not anxiety is the culprit or me emulating my dad.
it’s because joe byron is monitoring all anti vaxxers and implanting them with vibrators when the sleep so no one will believe it when they SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦞🦅
I have touretted and developed it at the ages of 13-14 so like freshmen year. While I was developing it kids bullied me. Once I got a diagnosis (I saw a neurologist near me then went to shans hospital for a second diagnosis) and they said I was faking it. I got death threats on the daily. I posted my medical documents, my medication lists, me with my tourette therapist. Nothing worked to get these people to believe the very real disorder I have... is real. But then these people come in, shake a little bit, and a whole group believes them? Bro.... comeonnnnn
tbf the lady did say she did try doctors first, and its not like thats easy to go through. theres also whole online communities devoted to making fun of them, so its not like theyre getting off scott free. i mean, its certainly not the vitriol of other kids at school and nor is it threats, thats on triple hard mode extreme. i cant imagine how it was to go through that at that age, thats really rough. ive had my life torn up by mystery fake illness™ thats leaving me suffering every day so i can relate to the sentiment at least. hopefully one day the medical system that makes fun of people and turns them into That (in attempt to be taken seriously) and leaves people like you and me suffering can grow and change as a whole.
I feel you, I have tourettes too, and people said I was faking it. They also shouted tourettes which for some reason triggered it and thought "they were reminding me that I was supposed to be faking it"
Honestly, if someone claimed to have put vaccines in smoothies and claimed it removed all the bad stuff, these people would probably be guzzling it down like a tropical fish in a desert.
i miss the timeline where i could actually fight back with really intricately designed weapons so that even if a jealous creep stole mine I already had the perfect counter to it AND they wouldn't know how to use it anyway. then it would go to militant timeline where everyone has standard outfit gear and no one can steal from eachother yata yata yata ... anyway it's a boring. :) don't mess with the timeline :) we need to remember to learn our lessons for today, or we will never remember them for tomorrow. Charla, - Animity system
as someone with a couple medical mysteries myself, and i've endured _years_ of medical gaslighting, people like this give actually disabled people who are going through this fight of having symptoms but doctors refusing to listen to us look like some joke
also i work in medical research and they literally had to conduct studies on the validity of claims regarding ivermectin.. you’ll never guess what the results were
@@thelemon5069 Yup! All with the usual "every non-grifter doctor & scientist in the world is in on THE CONSPIRACY!!1eleventyone!" nonsense. Or the even dumber "I know more than the entirety of the medical community because I spend 10 hours a day on Facebook!"
@@thelemon5069 it’s because they all pass around the same pre-print that later failed the peer review process, but that doesn’t matter to them, because they don’t know what a pre-print is.
People that think ivermectin helps with a virus are like “look it up” but when you look it up and there’s no evidence supporting it, they say “it’s a cover up”
The blanket pulls really do feel like when a magician dramatically pulls a sheet to show a tricks' outcome or that there's no strings. I got a good laugh out of Ethan dramatic reenactment
early in the video rn but what i find interesting is that i have a really conservative father (dont we all) and at the beginning of the pandemic, he was actually SUPER good about taking precautions and wore masks, washed everything he touched, wore gloves, got tested, etc. but eventually he just stopped caring because he got tired of it ? and took up the stance of "oh it's just a flu" and "masks don't work" im not sure why but i find that rlly interesting that he just stopped caring after a while . my theory is that he was acting like a normal responsible person was upon hearing about it but once his friend tucker carlson said it was bs he adopted that opinion
@@verminscum I feel like my dad was kinda similar too. Not sure if he followed it mostly due to his job (has a secondary job at restaurant) or just being generally precautionary. But in the last year or so, he's become a bit more antagonistic about it, saying the lockdown was crazy and we'll probably find out it didn't help at all or something, idk.
Watching the fake shakes after a life of watching my own mom, who lost mobility over time due to MS and whose spastic leg could knock your jaw off, is both hilarious and sad. Man, I wish MY mom was faking her illness and could just get up from her power chair.
My dad didn’t get vaccinated and passed away from covid when I was 16. I think it was because he was exposed to a lot of right-wing talking points and decided that he was above science. Even though he was overweight and had a weakened respiratory system, he was still influenced enough to not get it; despite pleas from others. I’m 18 now and still hearing covid conspiracy just makes my heart heavy. Thanks for making this topic silly to watch
I’m sorry for your loss. My mother is high-risk and 60 years old, but fortunately very aware of how good vaccines are. I can’t imagine losing her to something that could potentially be prevented by a 10 second jab, but I’ve heard many stories similar to yours- all of them incredibly sad. There is some incredibly horrible propaganda that really does cost people their lives and yet the internet is still flooded with anti-vaxxers.
As someone who works at a daycare, the shakes in these videos remind me of the toddlers who fall onto the floor and just full body shake when they are upset.
Why is she saying “migraines” like she’s annoyed that she’s getting treatment for that? It took me years to even know that the pain I was having was migraine and to then get medical intervention. Like, so many people struggle to get medical treatment and answers and these people fake it and then complain about real challenges people face getting diagnoses and treatment.
i grew up watching migraine slung around as slang for "woman moment™" and "invisible magical illness" in addition to "bad headache." until recently i didnt know there was treatment beyond advil? it seems surprising given how long treatments been around, i guess, but a lot of people get sent out with home remedies and skepticism. im still a little scared of being labeled as "migraine" from all of it, tbh. so i could totally see her annoyance from that perspective, if that makes sense. a migraine specializing neurologist brushed off a symptom complaint i had as a migraine and didnt treat me for it...just used it to dismiss me. i hope doctors get better abt migraines in general, i did a lot of nervous googling in the aftermath and learned that you guys can still have it rough rough even w treatment, so hopefully it gets better out there.
god i was on the stream when he joined the twitter space i have never laughed harder. rest in peace john boy--- you were too young... suspiciously young...
Yea, they have machinery specifically for detecting neurological issues that cause tremors, involuntary muscle twitches, and specific brain activity changes during those events. When none of those are detected by any of the proven methods we have of detecting them, and seem to turn off & on at will, then of course she's going to be laughed at... or recommended to a psychiatrist for Munchausen Syndrome.
@@Engesagreen I used to be a hypochondriac as a child and I can tell you, they definitely don’t. They know full well what they’re doing and that they’re perfectly fine.
As someone who IS disabled and has to go to multiple specialists just to manage my health issues, having people do things like this really just invalidates the struggle that ACTUAL disabled people go through to find a doctor who will listen to them and take them seriously. It's so gross and I hate it lmao. Good video though! Much love 💜
I literally have minor muscle twitches (started as an eye twitch but then its just random small muscle twiches like in my leg but only like one little bit not a big muscle) and im sure i got it from actual covid. It was a while after so i didnt put two and two together but someone i knows got it during covid and so i thought oh that would make sense. Went to the doctor, i had a minor folate deficiency but not really enough to explain it. However i also couldve got it as just a fun thing your body does after pregnancy. Or because i had gestational diabetes etc etc. No wah of knowing. But it does amuse me that people say this shit about vaccines as if they wouldnt also get random shit from the virus too. It could just be a mild flu or cold for them but they also might have weird long term side effects.
No exactly. MANY of my friends who have had covid have been permanently disabled by covid and gotten actual symptoms that people are claiming the vaccines give them.
Stuff like that can happen for all kinds of reasons too. From dehydration to neurological causes- muscles get twitchy for too many things to blame vaccines. Also, as someone that's had bigger muscles twitch, it looks nothing like that. If you've ever had a big twitch right as you're about to fall asleep (aka a myoclonic jerk) you know that. (And that happens with no cause sometimes.)
@sourgreendolly oh yeah definitely, there are lots of reasons. If im dehydrated i get bad muscle cramps and spasms if i do exercise and am not replenishing well enough. And i have had a hypnic jerk in sleep a few times and its like a big whole body movement. My little muscle twitches look nothing like these videos either because most are too small to see/notice, i just notice because its my body and i can feel it. Like its very obvious that its fake. But even if they did have something going on, there are literally loads of other things that could cause it. I dont know for sure what caused mine and it comes and goes so really could just be a deficiency (even though i have definitely been far less healthy before without these but maybe because of the pregnancy it took a lot more of my bodies stores of these than i realised as i wasnt supplementing hugely during), like there are so many things. And the doctors that allow them to believe it is are just charlatans after their money
As someone with tremors, cool of them to not try to understand how tremors work before faking them. Like are they supposed to be seizures? A neurological symptom? Muscular?
My mother has seizures daily and I have to be there for her when they happen and words cannot describe how angry I get seeing these people trivialise something that actually affects our daily lives. These people make us disabled people look like fools. It's so painfully obvious that they're faking it and I genuinely cannot fathom how they think they're fooling people, when it's so painfully clear that they've never had to deal with seizures before. Thank you for the comic relief whilst also educating people Ethan
My aunt has long lasting vaccine shakes, she got the vaccine last year and she still starts violently shaking on the floor whenever shes exposed to flashing lights. She even had the "before vaccine shakes" phenomenon and she would have episodes in her early childhood too! The vaccine is super scary, keep your family safe everyone 😢
I’m vaccinated, boosted, and currently have covid. It’s basically cold symptoms for me, which is why testing is so important. I would hate to have so little in my life to fulfill me, I have to make up fake symptoms for clout 😂 these folks need therapy
I was max vaccinated ... still. Fucking horrible. Having my eye infected, my lungs too, was easier. I was wearing a mask since day 1. But i guess now we just dont. Whatever. Willingness to survive is also twindling for tons of us.
I had covid a few months back (I’m fully vaxxed up too) and it was AWFUL. Not quite as bad as the flu for me, but really not a fun experience. I hope you recover soon enough. The issue with anti-vaxxers spreading this kind of message is that it HAS and WILL cost people their lives who believe them. Awful stuff.
I was 17 (barely missed the mark) when I got Covid and I could barely stand. I felt horrible and my mom (she's anti Covid vax) said it isnt that bad and fed me a bunch of vitamins. Fun fact we learned about me during that time, I cant properly digest vitamins so I need them through foods and not pills or I'll throw up.
I knew a guy who got Covid. And his family was like crazy antivax and kept trying to give him some horse antibiotic but he’d refuse. So they snuck it into his Gatorade and it only made him more sick
Erm I got the vaccine and i immediately gained telepathy and can float around like a little bug in the wind, so uhh skill issue i guess source? trust me bro
Fun fact: if you take cymbalta, and miss a dose, there’s this funny little feeling you get in your brain and it messes with your vision, and it’s an actual brain seizure based on all the information I’ve read. To hear this woman comparing her little leg shakes to a brain seizure was just a bit comical to me so I wanted to put this here
Man! I have been waiting so long for someone to make a video about these people thank you so much!!!! I have MS and suffer from actual twitches and shaking ,stiffness etc in my legs and other places in My body and I hope all of these people get all sorts of exposed for this ridiculous theory and acting.
Even if we assume they aren’t just faking full stop (which they probably are tbh) I’ve got an easy explanation for uncontrollable leg shaking just like that: anxiety. I’ve got a panic disorder and there have been times my legs shake like that for an hour at a time just because of the adrenaline.
As a person who suffers from severe enough migraines that I'm on 8 different medications to stop the shaking or random neurological symptoms that occur daily. It sucks there are people out there making it hard for people like me who actually have these problems on a daily basis due to brain stem Migraines
Yay dk outro music is back. Always makes my day especially since I'm currently sick with COVID on top of being pregnant and taking care of a toddler (I cant quarantine from her she's mine lol) luckily it's been fairly mild for me this time but it's definitely taking a toll. Stay healthy out there 💜
back in 2020 my grandpa kept going to the grocery store and church, cause "if he dies he dies" ignoring that he regularly interacts with my 2 cousins, both of which were under 10 at the time, as well as my aunt who's a single mom. i don't know if he ever got vaxed, wouldn't be surprised if he didn't. he sucks and we don't talk. anyways the selfishness of people is crazy
Its unfortunate that people are selfish. There are a lot people out there that demand other people do things that they don't want to do in order to benefit themselves. Instead of taking responsibility for their own health and fear, they use other people as means to their own ends.
How convenient that their shakes took a vacation during that interview. As a disabled person and someone who grew up with a neurologist father seeing people genuinely struggle with tremors and dystonia this makes me fucking furious and ill. These are horrendous people.
One thing that could cause tremors though is severe anxiety caused by people buying into all this bs, which makes me pretty sad. Imagine being genuinely afraid and then you start getting anxiety symptoms but you don't know what that is
I was diagnosed with epilepsy almost 20 years ago and just had a seizure this afternoon - horrible timing, eh? In my depressive postictal state, this may very well be my 13th reason 🥴 imagine being in such good health that you feel ABSOLUTELY NOTHING while faking such a debilitating disorder.
13:17 klonopin?? Those old ladies are chillinnnnn. I’m prescribed that for panic attacks its like taking alcohol in pill form, they’re addictive if you take them too often!
As someone who honestly has spazams like these women who are pretending in the videos it's so funny to me. Like it only is that bad for a few seconds for the most part my body is just kind twitching. But yeah this shit is so funny thanks man this made my day
My life was completely falling apart in 2019, and I was strongly tempted to become even more of a Right-wing religious fanatic than I already was. Fortunately, instead, I managed to have a complete identity breakdown and come out as transgender, which helped me realize that I'm also somewhere on the neurodiversity spectrum. That's all real, though! Psychology is impossible to figure out "objectively", but that doesn't mean we should give in to trying to practice "witchcraft".
I had a somewhat similar experience in my life before I realized I’m bisexual and trans. I was pretty homophobic and transphobic in the past due to misinformation and my religious upbringing (as well as the religious people around me). Im glad you were able to escape too
The fact that I feel weird watching this in public really says a lot about these people. I feel more uncomfortable than they probably did filming and posting video of them trembling like they’ve been tensed up for too long.
Before I saw the leg shaking thought the video title was referring to people actually drinking detox shakes as vaccine alternatives…I think I would’ve preferred that to this
i'm disabled. i have numerous chronic illnesses (postural orthostatic tachyadria syndrome, chronic vestibular migraines, endometriosis and hypersomnia to name a few - o and i have debilitating ocd,, and a handful of other mental illnesses) which amount to me being disabled. i started having migraines when i was around 6-7 years old, and it wasn't until i was 9 that i was properly diagnosed with vestibular migraines. it wasn't until i was 17 that my years of complaints regarding excruciating period pain (amongst other symptoms) were actually addressed. i've presented with POTS since i was ~10 (earlier if you attribute my migraines to my veins being so elastic they can't pump blood through my body properly) and i was only diagnosed when i was 19, last year. if i keep going, this comment will be an essay.. but the point is, as someone whose illnesses are so severe they're recognised as disabled, who has been ignored and gaslit by peers, family, and doctors for most of their life, stories like these frustrate me more than i can express. i've been in therapy for almost five years, and so much of that has been spent on dismantling years of gaslighting and learning to believe that i am, in fact, ill. you'd think taking 14 pills a day and seeing 5 specialists reguarly would solidify my diagnoses in my mind, but nope, i'm yet to silence the voice that tells me i'm a liar and it's not that bad and i should be able to just function like a normal person. idk what the point of my comment is.. i guess it just really fcking sucks seeing people not only fake illnesses but then receive money and support from people who believe and validate their 'illnesses' wholeheartedly. especially when i have to work so hard to get the latter from systems and people - and in most cases, i'm still not believed, let alone supported.
also,, i'm immune compromised, and covid posed a huge threat to my health. i'm very lucky that i had two vaccine doses before i got covid because it was very likely to, at best, significantly worsen my preexisiting conditions. fck anti-vaxxers
I feel you. I had awful symptoms that turned out to be completely treatable dismissed because "it's probably your depression/anxiety." My primary doctor retired and the day I met my current doc, I was in tears because the abdominal pain I've had on and off for years was causing weightloss again and last time that happened I relapsed into my ED so hard I was told I was lucky not to have any organ damage. It's hard to stay in recovery when eating is causing excruciating physical pain. Thankfully, my current doctor is aware that mental illness doesn't make the rest of my body immune to issues. I was having intestinal spasms, the first as needed medication that I tried did wonders and they happen rarely now that I'm not stressing about it. Since then I've been figuring out other diagnoses ignored because of being the mentally ill patient. Right now I'm waiting on CPAP titration for my sleep apnea - which very likely *contributes* to my recurring, treatment resistant depression than the depression just making me too exhausted to function. And I'm lucky to still be treatable, if I had something progressive or my mentally health got bad enough I might not have mad it to my current doctor. I barely survived as is. I still have a tendency to down play my physical issues until they're impossible to deal with because I have that underlying fear of being seen as a hypochondriac and losing my ability to be taken seriously again.
Fellow POTS patient here and all I can say is that my full heart goes out to you. I was so healthy and my whole life was taken from me. It's a surreal experience living with an invisible illness. I love you no matter who you are and you are valid
I couldn't read through all your comment because this is litteraly what I'm going through right now and it was hitting too close to home. I hope things are better for you And hum.... Aout migraines being caused by your vein being too elastic? We still don't know why I have migraines, and I do know that when I have to do a blood test they have a hard time getting the blood out. So I'm kind of curious, if it could be the same thing
@@sourgreendolly7685 i'm so sorry you've experienced this. it is so awful having severe symptoms dismissed as mental illnesses, and discovering mental illnesses/their symptoms can be attributed to underlying conditions is.. a frustration i cannot articulate. i fully understand and i'm really relieved to hear your current doctor takes you seriously and is interested in determining what is happening in your body
Wow! This reminds me of that Desiree Jennings case. She claimed the flu vaccine gave her constant tremors, unless she was running or walking backwards.
My mother went into a sudden comma that took her away from herself, left us poor and needy. We spent years trying to find what happened to her while doctors ignored us and belittled her for her seizures. I never had the same loving and caring woman I had when I was younger. My poor mother went through hell and back because they wouldn't belive her and to see these people make a mockery of themselves and take away from those who need help just for a political view, it boils my blood
Also yes you’re right! As a severely disabled person I agree with you that it’s not cool to take disabilities or health issues of any kind. It’s not something we can just turn off when we’re tired of it or don’t wanna be disabled anymore. It’s not funny, it’s not quirky, and not okay to pretend to suffer from a disability, mental health issue, or a disease. When we talk about out problems we don’t get the same treatment as people like this do. I’ve been made fun of for my looks irl and on the Internet yet these people get away with loads of cash for faking shit. I wish people wouldn’t do this. There was this girl recently that faked cancer on tiktok.
The best part of this is older people who have had heart surgery, knee surgery, all manner of things surgically done to them to relieve pain and help them live longer. Their lives in the hands of doctors and the medical profession. Then they refuse to believe the medical profession knows what it's doing, refuse to believe they're right just this one time. Knee surgery? Oh doctors nailed that, right on the money, got it in one. A pandemic that inconveniences me? What a bunch of crap, doctors don't know anything about anything they're all idiots trying to make money by scaring me into being homosexual or something. Just the absolute trust into complete disregard of the same profession with zero understanding of how insane that position is to hold.
This is why we need to promote science literacy especially in people who are missing out on the new discoveries of science and their understandings of the world is outdated.
I am just recovering from a really bad case of COVID (I’m immunocompromised) and lemme tell you, I had full body shakes and cold sweats and I could barely keep my eyes open I was so exhausted. I felt like I was melting and I still wasn’t reacting that obscenely

I spent a FULL YEAR convinced that I was making up my tremors. I still wonder, on my better days, if I'm just being overdramatic, and on my bad days, I can't even do simple tasks like cooking, brushing my hair, or typing on a keyboard. Shit like this makes me have to fight even harder to be taken seriously as a disabled person. These people have no idea what it's like to live with tremors and no sympathy for anyone but themselves.
I'm so sorry. I have met someone whose entire life was ruined by this shit [I am not aware what her particular condition was but tremors and brain fog and lack of coordination]. She can't drive, she's not allowed to see her kids, she can't get a job. She broke down crying one night because she was so tired of everyone always assuming she was drunk or going through withdrawals. It was absolutely heartbreaking.
I don’t have tremors, but I have something in that area, and I feel like it gets underplayed just how weird it is to have your body do things that feel totally controllable, but aren’t. My eyes go out of focus and I think “yeah I could fix that” then I sit there and Don’t. Why do brains do this :”)
And some people are giving the fakers an out through Munchaussen. No. They know what they're doing and what they're doing is wrong. They get off on it.

It pisses me off when people say COVID-19 isn't real. I was sick over my 21st birthday this year, had a 102F fever, and now have a serious heart condition. When I stand up, my heart rate jumps to over 130bpm, and I get incredibly lightheaded. I'm looking at maybe having to drop out of college and abandon my chosen field (preschool education) because I will no longer be able to meet the physical requirements for such a job.
I just had mono and I'm having the exact same thing. Look into pots if you haven't already, that's what they suspect I have. Get accommodations and reach out for help! I'm not saying it'll be easy, but it'll help lighten the load a little, especially if you keep your professors updated about what's going on (I've bothered mine so much they all know my face and name)
Look into POTS, it can be caused by covid. I had it before covid but it was made worse after getting it. Hope you can get some help, i know how rough it is.
My friend is going through pretty much the same thing. Resting heart rate of 140, difficulty with physical exertion, difficulty breathing, etc.
"Long covid" is pretty fucked.
People don't really talk much about the long lasting effects of covid. So many people including very young people have issues they'll have to deal with for the rest of their lives.
You also a fellow POTS patient? I had POTS before covid but covid made my condition much worse. I'm functionally disabled now it's like I was mugged by mother nature and these wacko conservatives gaslight me constantly.

I have several neurological disorders including fibromyalgia, tics, RLS, and tremors, as well as muscle spasms and it is so PAINFULLY OBVIOUS that they are faking it that it’s embarrassing. Not only are they faking disorders but they’re also treating it like it’s the worst possible thing, like believe it or not I live a fulfilling life regardless of my chronic illness!
Yeah, I usually don’t like to say anyone’s faking bc a lot of actually disabled people have been accused of faking/weren’t taken seriously, but these ladies are SO fucking obvious about it, there’s no way they’re really experiencing what they claim. And you’re right, the way they talk about it is insulting to chronically ill and disabled people.
I never knew fibromyalgia was neurological
I'm a nurse. These look exactly like the kind of "seizures" people would fake to try and get a longer hospital stay or get some ativan. A good way to test if you know someone is faking is to take an empty saline flush and act like youre going to squirt it at them. All the sudden their seizure or tremors magically stop.
My favorite was when we were restraining an 89 y/o man because he kicked a nurse in the stomach, locked himself in our bosses office and then tried to stab us with pens, luckily he only grabbed dry erase markers. Anyways as we were putting him in restraints he started shaking very obviously. I said "Oh my god! Sir are you having a seizure??" and he responded "Yes!" and we all had a good laugh.
Honestly now I'm curious of why saying/pretending you're going to squirt saline at them makes them stop faking the seizures
@@tobivesper442 because they instinctually try to block it from getting on them
@@RogueAstro85 Ohh ok that makes sense. Thank you!
The saline flush thing is pretty genius tbh
I've had muscle spasms on my legs but it's contagious 🤣

2) That video they put together is so mfn funny I cried.
I ALSO THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A DRINK
As someone who shakes both involuntarily because of my anxiety and RLS and as a purposeful stim for adhd, it is so easy to tell the difference between shaking because your body is making you versus making yourself shake.
Edit: thanks for all the love (and hate❤️) never expected saying I have personal experiences that are contrary to those shown in the TikTok clips would make people assume I’m an ableist basement dweller. Still it’s fun to read comments and see the lack of eloquence and relevance in regards to the topic of disability so I guess pop off queen😊
Seconding all of this.

Speaking of anxiety, what a wonder that BENZOS are "helping". They're fine for an unexpected grand mal in an emergency room patient, but their primary use is for ANXIETY. They replaced barbiturates as the "safer" alternative to what killed Marilyn Monroe, but they're more addictive than opiates, and the withdrawals can include seizures and death. They're _the_ worst thing to prescribe to patients like those in the video, who are clearly somewhere between hypochondriasis and Munchausen's. I say "between" cos the latter usually tends to involve causing harm, not just faking, to get medical care, attention, and social support [like GoFundMe campaigns and 15 minutes on Facebook]... But I'm not a doctor, so.
Oh wait, isn't "friend of the channel" JB Peterson a psychotherapist? I heard he has experience with benzos. Erroneously called "antidepressants" by a lot of people who told the story (like, all but just a few). I note _not_ to take the mickey [addiction is no joke] but cos those are something he'd have prescribed plenty, and would have been very well-acquainted with, as an anxiety med and practising shrink, respectively. Point is: no one is immune to medication dependence, even those who know it well. But also, all that "bootstraps" business, yet he went globetrotting to find a way to get a very dangerous "procedure" to escape the pain of recovery (being put into a medically-induced coma to "sleep through" the withdrawal - not legal in North America cos that's malpractice!). And even after that, it was just 12 more bootstraps, now with more blaming minorities. Smh. Though, honestly, that aside, I _am_ putting his credentials under scrutiny. It's a wonder he's only very recently begun to come under fire and his license to practise possibly to be revoked. He balks, but it's something he hasn't done in at least 5 years, and on balking, despite his _constant_ trashing of colleges & universities as "liberal indoctrinating factories" or w/e, he sure is upset about that "worthless" scrap of paper for a thing he stopped (probably cos of the grievance filed against him by a patient who he harassed, long before his fame) and now claims he _"wouldn't_ do anymore" and "can't rightly do cos of stifling laws" (including citing the Canadian ban on conversion therapy as a hindrance! GrossMan!).
Ahem. Sorry, OP. That got away from me, there. I know anxiety. And ND... Sorry for ranting in your thread. I just really don't like how people will do this kind of stuff. It's selfish, it's mean, it's silly & looks ridiculous, and it's just... sad? The state of things? Eh.
Cheers, friend. ❤︎
I've had psychological responses to anti-psychotics and bad settings that cause me movements that I can't tell if they are involuntary or not, because sometimes they would be, sometimes not, sometimes both, and sometimes it was hard to tell. I didn't record it for vanity like these people, but I didn't dunk on anyone over the interwebs for money too, so go touch grass.
Just because no one's experience is analogous to another's does not mean you can sit there and take sides based on who's your friends. Feels antithetical to the concept of "humanity" or whatever.

why can't people safely rent tools to "make the neighbourhood a greener and safer place" rather then only be able to do that if they already have money. That is called a meritocracy, and it rewards those with money, with more options, and more money. it has always functioned on money.
And if you want one that functions on actual merit you are HARD missing the point.
*Solar-punk* is the only *real* way forward. Look up "Andrewism" here on yt, he explains that stuff a lot better and a lot less angrily then me.

As an epileptic whose literally torn their rotator cuff during a seizure, this shit makes me so mad
early in the video rn but what i find interesting is that i have a really conservative father (dont we all) and at the beginning of the pandemic, he was actually SUPER good about taking precautions and wore masks, washed everything he touched, wore gloves, got tested, etc. but eventually he just stopped caring because he got tired of it ? and took up the stance of "oh it's just a flu" and "masks don't work" im not sure why but i find that rlly interesting that he just stopped caring after a while . my theory is that he was acting like a normal responsible person was upon hearing about it but once his friend tucker carlson said it was bs he adopted that opinion
Same. My dad was somewhat reasonable about it all until watching Fox News quite literally everyday.
@@verminscum I feel like my dad was kinda similar too. Not sure if he followed it mostly due to his job (has a secondary job at restaurant) or just being generally precautionary.

Ngl, I saw the title and thought it meant “shakes” like the drink, like someone was trying to sell some weird health shake to “cure” COVID lol
As someone who works at a daycare, the shakes in these videos remind me of the toddlers who fall onto the floor and just full body shake when they are upset.
Why is she saying “migraines” like she’s annoyed that she’s getting treatment for that? It took me years to even know that the pain I was having was migraine and to then get medical intervention. Like, so many people struggle to get medical treatment and answers and these people fake it and then complain about real challenges people face getting diagnoses and treatment.
i grew up watching migraine slung around as slang for "woman moment™" and "invisible magical illness" in addition to "bad headache." until recently i didnt know there was treatment beyond advil? it seems surprising given how long treatments been around, i guess, but a lot of people get sent out with home remedies and skepticism. im still a little scared of being labeled as "migraine" from all of it, tbh. so i could totally see her annoyance from that perspective, if that makes sense. a migraine specializing neurologist brushed off a symptom complaint i had as a migraine and didnt treat me for it...just used it to dismiss me. i hope doctors get better abt migraines in general, i did a lot of nervous googling in the aftermath and learned that you guys can still have it rough rough even w treatment, so hopefully it gets better out there.

That compilation of people mocking them is fucking amazing!!!Also love the shirt Ethan,I want it
The way I cackled at that, best part.
As someone who IS disabled and has to go to multiple specialists just to manage my health issues, having people do things like this really just invalidates the struggle that ACTUAL disabled people go through to find a doctor who will listen to them and take them seriously. It's so gross and I hate it lmao. Good video though! Much love 💜
DUDE I'M ABOUT TO EAT WHY THE VIDEO NOT HERE YET 😭😭
Ethan starves people - NYT
I literally have minor muscle twitches (started as an eye twitch but then its just random small muscle twiches like in my leg but only like one little bit not a big muscle) and im sure i got it from actual covid. It was a while after so i didnt put two and two together but someone i knows got it during covid and so i thought oh that would make sense. Went to the doctor, i had a minor folate deficiency but not really enough to explain it.
However i also couldve got it as just a fun thing your body does after pregnancy. Or because i had gestational diabetes etc etc. No wah of knowing. But it does amuse me that people say this shit about vaccines as if they wouldnt also get random shit from the virus too. It could just be a mild flu or cold for them but they also might have weird long term side effects.
yeah people like this will just jump to vaccines causing things that could have so many more reasons for happening
No exactly. MANY of my friends who have had covid have been permanently disabled by covid and gotten actual symptoms that people are claiming the vaccines give them.
exactly, long covid has effected everyone differently.
Stuff like that can happen for all kinds of reasons too. From dehydration to neurological causes- muscles get twitchy for too many things to blame vaccines. Also, as someone that's had bigger muscles twitch, it looks nothing like that. If you've ever had a big twitch right as you're about to fall asleep (aka a myoclonic jerk) you know that. (And that happens with no cause sometimes.)
@sourgreendolly oh yeah definitely, there are lots of reasons. If im dehydrated i get bad muscle cramps and spasms if i do exercise and am not replenishing well enough. And i have had a hypnic jerk in sleep a few times and its like a big whole body movement. My little muscle twitches look nothing like these videos either because most are too small to see/notice, i just notice because its my body and i can feel it. Like its very obvious that its fake. But even if they did have something going on, there are literally loads of other things that could cause it. I dont know for sure what caused mine and it comes and goes so really could just be a deficiency (even though i have definitely been far less healthy before without these but maybe because of the pregnancy it took a lot more of my bodies stores of these than i realised as i wasnt supplementing hugely during), like there are so many things. And the doctors that allow them to believe it is are just charlatans after their money
As someone with tremors, cool of them to not try to understand how tremors work before faking them. Like are they supposed to be seizures? A neurological symptom? Muscular?
My mother has seizures daily and I have to be there for her when they happen and words cannot describe how angry I get seeing these people trivialise something that actually affects our daily lives. These people make us disabled people look like fools. It's so painfully obvious that they're faking it and I genuinely cannot fathom how they think they're fooling people, when it's so painfully clear that they've never had to deal with seizures before. Thank you for the comic relief whilst also educating people Ethan
The videos poking fun at the people faking these shaking side effects are spot on and hilarious.
My aunt has long lasting vaccine shakes, she got the vaccine last year and she still starts violently shaking on the floor whenever shes exposed to flashing lights. She even had the "before vaccine shakes" phenomenon and she would have episodes in her early childhood too! The vaccine is super scary, keep your family safe everyone 😢
Thought this was gonna be about milkshakes that make you immune
Now that's a milkshake that would really being all the boys to the yard!
I was also fooled
@@afckingegg7585 hell yeah! I hoped they’d teach us and have to charge
I’m vaccinated, boosted, and currently have covid. It’s basically cold symptoms for me, which is why testing is so important. I would hate to have so little in my life to fulfill me, I have to make up fake symptoms for clout 😂 these folks need therapy
I was max vaccinated ... still. Fucking horrible. Having my eye infected, my lungs too, was easier. I was wearing a mask since day 1. But i guess now we just dont. Whatever. Willingness to survive is also twindling for tons of us.
I had covid a few months back (I’m fully vaxxed up too) and it was AWFUL. Not quite as bad as the flu for me, but really not a fun experience. I hope you recover soon enough. The issue with anti-vaxxers spreading this kind of message is that it HAS and WILL cost people their lives who believe them. Awful stuff.
i cant believe Ethan's 40 years young child died from a heart attack RIP JOMBOY
I was 17 (barely missed the mark) when I got Covid and I could barely stand. I felt horrible and my mom (she's anti Covid vax) said it isnt that bad and fed me a bunch of vitamins. Fun fact we learned about me during that time, I cant properly digest vitamins so I need them through foods and not pills or I'll throw up.
I knew a guy who got Covid. And his family was like crazy antivax and kept trying to give him some horse antibiotic but he’d refuse. So they snuck it into his Gatorade and it only made him more sick
Erm I got the vaccine and i immediately gained telepathy and can float around like a little bug in the wind, so uhh skill issue i guess
source? trust me bro
Fun fact: if you take cymbalta, and miss a dose, there’s this funny little feeling you get in your brain and it messes with your vision, and it’s an actual brain seizure based on all the information I’ve read. To hear this woman comparing her little leg shakes to a brain seizure was just a bit comical to me so I wanted to put this here
Excuse me?? I’ve been on cymbalta for like two years!! Time to do a bunch of research about this.
are you talking abt the brain zaps
@@ronanmaebee YES THE BRAIN ZAPS!
@@mattcottrell3286 have you ever felt really funny in your noggin after missing a dose?
@@harrisonwhaley7872 oh yeah. Afternoons of days I forget in the morning are weiiiird
Man! I have been waiting so long for someone to make a video about these people thank you so much!!!! I have MS and suffer from actual twitches and shaking ,stiffness etc in my legs and other places in My body and I hope all of these people get all sorts of exposed for this ridiculous theory and acting.
11:02 She went to a neurologist who specialises in brain activity. Incredible
"nooooo it really was the vaccine, i'm not being cringe ableist or dumb!"
"yes you are."
Even if we assume they aren’t just faking full stop (which they probably are tbh) I’ve got an easy explanation for uncontrollable leg shaking just like that: anxiety. I’ve got a panic disorder and there have been times my legs shake like that for an hour at a time just because of the adrenaline.
That compilation of people mocking 'vaccine shakes' on the Highwire had me cry laughing
I enjoyed the premiere and chatting with the awesome people in this community
when i first heard of “vaccine shakes” i thought it was some alternative way of administering the covid vaccine 💀
As a person who suffers from severe enough migraines that I'm on 8 different medications to stop the shaking or random neurological symptoms that occur daily. It sucks there are people out there making it hard for people like me who actually have these problems on a daily basis due to brain stem Migraines
Yay dk outro music is back. Always makes my day especially since I'm currently sick with COVID on top of being pregnant and taking care of a toddler (I cant quarantine from her she's mine lol) luckily it's been fairly mild for me this time but it's definitely taking a toll. Stay healthy out there 💜
back in 2020 my grandpa kept going to the grocery store and church, cause "if he dies he dies" ignoring that he regularly interacts with my 2 cousins, both of which were under 10 at the time, as well as my aunt who's a single mom. i don't know if he ever got vaxed, wouldn't be surprised if he didn't. he sucks and we don't talk. anyways the selfishness of people is crazy
Its unfortunate that people are selfish. There are a lot people out there that demand other people do things that they don't want to do in order to benefit themselves.
Instead of taking responsibility for their own health and fear, they use other people as means to their own ends.
How convenient that their shakes took a vacation during that interview. As a disabled person and someone who grew up with a neurologist father seeing people genuinely struggle with tremors and dystonia this makes me fucking furious and ill. These are horrendous people.
Having this little shame or embarrassment must be amazing.
One thing that could cause tremors though is severe anxiety caused by people buying into all this bs, which makes me pretty sad. Imagine being genuinely afraid and then you start getting anxiety symptoms but you don't know what that is
Or just being cold keep the blankets on. Signed a Floridan who moved to Germany and is still cold
I was diagnosed with epilepsy almost 20 years ago and just had a seizure this afternoon - horrible timing, eh? In my depressive postictal state, this may very well be my 13th reason 🥴 imagine being in such good health that you feel ABSOLUTELY NOTHING while faking such a debilitating disorder.
9:18 oh my god the videos appearing on beat and the thrusting in time and the harsh cut holy fuck that got me good
I like to think the outro song is whatever's stuck in Ethan's head while he's editing his video
The Donkey Kong SNES soundtrack is an understandable earworm so that checks.
13:17 klonopin?? Those old ladies are chillinnnnn. I’m prescribed that for panic attacks its like taking alcohol in pill form, they’re addictive if you take them too often!
i think it is genuinely hilarious how unrealistic the shaking is. and she doesnt even try to hide it
As someone who honestly has spazams like these women who are pretending in the videos it's so funny to me. Like it only is that bad for a few seconds for the most part my body is just kind twitching. But yeah this shit is so funny thanks man this made my day
Not me thinking initially thinking you were gonna talk about Vaccine Milk Shakes LMAO
same here help??
Mind you, that's the same people who call "posers" and "fakers" literally every person with tics on Tiktok.
when you played the 'vaccine shake' clips i didnt know how to react other than point and laugh... just point and laugh
My life was completely falling apart in 2019, and I was strongly tempted to become even more of a Right-wing religious fanatic than I already was. Fortunately, instead, I managed to have a complete identity breakdown and come out as transgender, which helped me realize that I'm also somewhere on the neurodiversity spectrum. That's all real, though! Psychology is impossible to figure out "objectively", but that doesn't mean we should give in to trying to practice "witchcraft".
I had a somewhat similar experience in my life before I realized I’m bisexual and trans. I was pretty homophobic and transphobic in the past due to misinformation and my religious upbringing (as well as the religious people around me).
Im glad you were able to escape too
I'm learning lately I believe in extremely non binary and it's been life altering. Goo luck in your journey friend
The fact that I feel weird watching this in public really says a lot about these people. I feel more uncomfortable than they probably did filming and posting video of them trembling like they’ve been tensed up for too long.
Before I saw the leg shaking thought the video title was referring to people actually drinking detox shakes as vaccine alternatives…I think I would’ve preferred that to this
Thanks for another absolutely slappin' video, Ethan! 10/10
I’ve had the shakes the day after I got my vaccine it’s more of a shiver, I remember shaking myself awake in a cold sweat, it wears off eventually.
I like the ones where they’re not shaking when the video starts lol
i'm disabled. i have numerous chronic illnesses (postural orthostatic tachyadria syndrome, chronic vestibular migraines, endometriosis and hypersomnia to name a few - o and i have debilitating ocd,, and a handful of other mental illnesses) which amount to me being disabled. i started having migraines when i was around 6-7 years old, and it wasn't until i was 9 that i was properly diagnosed with vestibular migraines. it wasn't until i was 17 that my years of complaints regarding excruciating period pain (amongst other symptoms) were actually addressed. i've presented with POTS since i was ~10 (earlier if you attribute my migraines to my veins being so elastic they can't pump blood through my body properly) and i was only diagnosed when i was 19, last year.
if i keep going, this comment will be an essay.. but the point is, as someone whose illnesses are so severe they're recognised as disabled, who has been ignored and gaslit by peers, family, and doctors for most of their life, stories like these frustrate me more than i can express. i've been in therapy for almost five years, and so much of that has been spent on dismantling years of gaslighting and learning to believe that i am, in fact, ill. you'd think taking 14 pills a day and seeing 5 specialists reguarly would solidify my diagnoses in my mind, but nope, i'm yet to silence the voice that tells me i'm a liar and it's not that bad and i should be able to just function like a normal person.
idk what the point of my comment is.. i guess it just really fcking sucks seeing people not only fake illnesses but then receive money and support from people who believe and validate their 'illnesses' wholeheartedly. especially when i have to work so hard to get the latter from systems and people - and in most cases, i'm still not believed, let alone supported.
also,, i'm immune compromised, and covid posed a huge threat to my health. i'm very lucky that i had two vaccine doses before i got covid because it was very likely to, at best, significantly worsen my preexisiting conditions. fck anti-vaxxers
I feel you. I had awful symptoms that turned out to be completely treatable dismissed because "it's probably your depression/anxiety." My primary doctor retired and the day I met my current doc, I was in tears because the abdominal pain I've had on and off for years was causing weightloss again and last time that happened I relapsed into my ED so hard I was told I was lucky not to have any organ damage. It's hard to stay in recovery when eating is causing excruciating physical pain.
Thankfully, my current doctor is aware that mental illness doesn't make the rest of my body immune to issues. I was having intestinal spasms, the first as needed medication that I tried did wonders and they happen rarely now that I'm not stressing about it. Since then I've been figuring out other diagnoses ignored because of being the mentally ill patient. Right now I'm waiting on CPAP titration for my sleep apnea - which very likely *contributes* to my recurring, treatment resistant depression than the depression just making me too exhausted to function.
And I'm lucky to still be treatable, if I had something progressive or my mentally health got bad enough I might not have mad it to my current doctor. I barely survived as is. I still have a tendency to down play my physical issues until they're impossible to deal with because I have that underlying fear of being seen as a hypochondriac and losing my ability to be taken seriously again.
Fellow POTS patient here and all I can say is that my full heart goes out to you. I was so healthy and my whole life was taken from me. It's a surreal experience living with an invisible illness. I love you no matter who you are and you are valid
I couldn't read through all your comment because this is litteraly what I'm going through right now and it was hitting too close to home. I hope things are better for you
And hum.... Aout migraines being caused by your vein being too elastic? We still don't know why I have migraines, and I do know that when I have to do a blood test they have a hard time getting the blood out. So I'm kind of curious, if it could be the same thing
@@sourgreendolly7685 i'm so sorry you've experienced this. it is so awful having severe symptoms dismissed as mental illnesses, and discovering mental illnesses/their symptoms can be attributed to underlying conditions is.. a frustration i cannot articulate. i fully understand and i'm really relieved to hear your current doctor takes you seriously and is interested in determining what is happening in your body
love this shirt peeman, and the set and background changes really makes your videos visually interesting ❤ I like this new era love u man
Wow! This reminds me of that Desiree Jennings case. She claimed the flu vaccine gave her constant tremors, unless she was running or walking backwards.
That was funny she was speaking in like a fake Australian accent.
@@samsalamander8147 I totally forgot she did that! Freaking hilarious. What a clown
pink graduation cap slay it looks so cute
My mother went into a sudden comma that took her away from herself, left us poor and needy. We spent years trying to find what happened to her while doctors ignored us and belittled her for her seizures. I never had the same loving and caring woman I had when I was younger. My poor mother went through hell and back because they wouldn't belive her and to see these people make a mockery of themselves and take away from those who need help just for a political view, it boils my blood
I've been shaking all over after or during PTSD flashbacks and anxiety attacks. Trust me, involuntary shaking does not look like this.
I'll be honest, this was my favourite drama last month. These videos had me crying with laughter.
recently started watching your twitch streams, oddly satisfying to see your content come full circle
Also yes you’re right! As a severely disabled person I agree with you that it’s not cool to take disabilities or health issues of any kind. It’s not something we can just turn off when we’re tired of it or don’t wanna be disabled anymore. It’s not funny, it’s not quirky, and not okay to pretend to suffer from a disability, mental health issue, or a disease. When we talk about out problems we don’t get the same treatment as people like this do. I’ve been made fun of for my looks irl and on the Internet yet these people get away with loads of cash for faking shit. I wish people wouldn’t do this. There was this girl recently that faked cancer on tiktok.
The best part of this is older people who have had heart surgery, knee surgery, all manner of things surgically done to them to relieve pain and help them live longer. Their lives in the hands of doctors and the medical profession. Then they refuse to believe the medical profession knows what it's doing, refuse to believe they're right just this one time. Knee surgery? Oh doctors nailed that, right on the money, got it in one. A pandemic that inconveniences me? What a bunch of crap, doctors don't know anything about anything they're all idiots trying to make money by scaring me into being homosexual or something. Just the absolute trust into complete disregard of the same profession with zero understanding of how insane that position is to hold.
This is why we need to promote science literacy especially in people who are missing out on the new discoveries of science and their understandings of the world is outdated.
I am just recovering from a really bad case of COVID (I’m immunocompromised) and lemme tell you, I had full body shakes and cold sweats and I could barely keep my eyes open I was so exhausted. I felt like I was melting and I still wasn’t reacting that obscenely
I remember in high school a bunch of girls from the same friend group all started falling over. Lmao everybody else was like guys wtf stop pretending it's weird and annoying... weird memory accessed by this content
Am I bad if I see these people doing their little fake dance and my brain starts playing 'every day I'm shufflin'
The sitting ones are just me during ab workouts
Lmao same
