    I know this will get buried under 13,561 other comments, but I still go back and watch Diana's videos every day. Sometimes, I just leave my laptop playing them in an empty room, to give the view counts, but often I am watching/rewatching because I truly enjoy how excited Diana is when she is passionate about something. We're still here, still supporting, and waiting patiently for her to get well. We're also pulling for Kyle, who is truly a saint.

      I don't mean to downplay your donation but I would highly encourage everyone to use her Patreon for donation instead of UA-cam Thanks.
      UA-cam takes a much bigger cut from the Thanks than a Patreon sponsor.
      If I am not wrong UA-cam takes a 30% cut and Patreon takes 5%. This means with Patreon more of your donation actually reach her.

      Thank you for the update. Diana’s journey sounds like she heading in the right direction. I
      ’ve had CFS/ME for years but can now do more than most people who don’t even have it, so long as I pace myself. The first two years seemed to be the least productive, with the crashes, but slowly with walks of 5m then, 10m then, then 100m and so on, I’ve found the old me again. Brain fog is hard to deal with but I really believe relieving yourself of unnecessary guilt (after all you didn’t choose your health so there no need to feel you let anyone down) is important.
      Her partner sounds like an angel. I was let down and left to get on with it, accused of faking it by my partner (yes, unbelievable, but this was 30 years ago when people didn’t know much, I hope we’re all more educated now).
      I do wonder on the merits of gut health and wish I’d tried something in that direction back then, but you clutch at every straw and results are never instant so it’s hard to measure.
      Anyway, I’m following Dianna’s journey and willing her better. I think about her often and check for information when it becomes available.

      @@DonoVideoProductions sweden has a 17% LC rate. With a huge underrated detection there are more than 2.5M long hauler in both UK and France. The first rate of 5% of a population is now obsolete due to high recontamination rate (so much for infection immunity promoted by those assholes from GBD). With some recontamination in less than a month (3 weeks for the shortest, 3 to 4 months on average) some people had covid TEN TIMES and each time is playing russian roulette with long covid, each time the virus damage internal organs and immune system.
      And minimizers keeps yelling "covid is just a cold now! Don't worry! you don't need mask, no isolation or sick leave!" Yeah, sure a cold that can put someone down for YEARS even if the infection was asymptomatic. And worst of that, is that they spread the virus to people who end like me with my heart now damaged and my brain have some memory issues and chronic fatigue, like Dianna or those kids now unable to walk. This, this infuriates me! Selfishness and neglectfulness are key today.

      @@kinpandun2464 This, as someone living with it for over 10 years now. You have good days and bad days and there is almost nothing that anyone can do about it. Often there is no external or easily identifiable reason for a day being good or bad. They have made some progress in understanding CFS but CFS is not just one thing so, for some they can help. Recently there have been studies that show that most people with CFS have high antibody count for one of a narrow band of lifetime viruses. In my case I constantly show like I am about to have a shingles outbreak, but I don't. This "but I don't" is common throughout those with high anitbody counts for specific viruses and CFS. We never exhibit symptoms. However we have very strange problem of muscle loss, cognitive failure, often a burning pain in the body/muscles (non-specific) that regular pain killers cannot mediate. I for one test as having a neurotransmitter level as though I've been awake for 50-72hours. Just that never goes away. I am in a constant state of function like someone who has been up for more than two days or three. Anyways, the viral marker, when people were treated with antiviral drugs and the counts dropped the CFS symptoms would go away.. but eventually would return and so too would the antibody count. They don't know why or what triggers it. But it's a start. In my case the treatment worked (took about 3 months to take effect) then about 7 months later, it just came back. So we can "manage" it, but it won't go away, probably never. It's pretty much stolen my life. When it acts up it takes 3 months to get better even on the medication, then I can be assured that something will trigger it again and it will return. It hangs like a shadow over those windows of normalcy.

    ME/CFS is *so* incredibly difficult. Mine has been severe for 5 years and I was in the same shape as Dianna for 18 months, and I've been slowly improving.

      Firstly, this is so, so kind of you. I'm glad that some altruism can also provide some personal comfort. Second, for anyone else considering donating, I want to echo the sentiment of another user (@green4black) to point out that a higher percentage of your contribution will help Dianna if you donate on GoFundMe or Patreon. This is nothing personal against Google, but their cut is substantially higher (30%). It's a different platform for a different purpose, so it aligns its margins closer to Twitch. GoFundMe takes a 2.9% cut and Patreon takes a 5% cut. Just an FYI!
      (One last note: for charitable fundraisers on UA-cam, Google does not take a cut at all. However, donating on this video will not be counted as a charitable donation.)

    The part where she needed to take a break from talking...man, you don't know how real that is unless you've been there. I went through a period of nearly 15 years of excruciating pain. I lost everything and my parents were caring for me. There wasn't a single thing I could do by myself, yet my body and my mind were working in overdrive harder than they ever had. My parents were my biggest blessing and they showed me an example of true love that I could have never envisioned. Eventually, I got better and at the age of 40, I went back to college to get my Mechanical Engineering degree. Yesterday, I found out that I was accepted into the Upper Division and in two more years, I will have my bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering. Hang in there Diana, take the first downs when you can and keep driving. And for Kyle, what a true warrior. He's going through it too and needs as much support. Let's help this wonderful couple out so they can focus on what they need to do.

      I tore my left sacroilliac joint when I was a firefighter. It's one of the two joints that connects your spine to your pelvis. If you follow your spine down to your belt line, they are about 1" on either side. It was excrucitating. All I could do is lay in bed because sitting, standing and walking was so painful. I had surgery a few times but in the end what fixed it was a simple nerve ablation that my doc didn't think would work. From the time I went into the hospital until the time I was back in the parking lot leaving was under 30 minutes, and 3 weeks later I went backpacking by myself. That was the summer I turned 40, so once realized I was actually okay, I decided to do a mile for every year old I was to get my confidence back and to do something for myself. Of the 42.5 miles I ended up doing, 31 of them were all by myself. I went back to college 7 months after that procedure and now we are here, almost 2 years from the day that I started back. I just realized something ironic that relates to Diana....the first class I had once I was back was good ol' college physics. Now I'm a tutor for that class. Wow. This is bringing back some memories and emotions for me right now! I sure hope we see Diana make a similar recovery and that it doesn't take 13 years like it did for me. @@danielkelsosmith

      Hi, I had the same issue during my University days. Sleeping for most of the day, food and very mild exercise healed me completely. I literally went on a sleeping festival for 3 months.
