God Bless you so much n your family. I know how you feel, God will continue to heal you he is the great physician on high when our doctors don't have the ability to help. I pray you continue to be free from the disease. 🫂🙏🫂🙏
You are a beautiful warrior stephanie.
I've had symptoms since the age of 12 and wasn't diagnosed until 36. Being diagnosed has made an improvement in understanding what is going on with me. The cataplexy can be difficult, I get very dizzy, not vertigo dizzy, but a buzzing in my head. I'm still looking for other narcoleptic's with this symptom, I haven't heard of anyone with narcolepsy type 1 describe this. I would love to be able to find other's struggling with this "dizziness."
Oh those fruits look sooooo good!!! I hv a procedure in July with the Gastrointestinal Specialist to see if I have EoE. I hv so many of the symptoms. Most days I feel so bad. And with Asthma and Sleep Apnea, it makes it worse.😢
My husband who is 45 has just got this diagnosis 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately we didn’t have any warnings, no symptoms no signs,4 th stage spreaded to liver . Hoping some miracle will happen.
Amazing and very motivating Kenny! Got the news 3 weeks ago as well! Your story and results give the spirit to fight this! John, Bangkok, Thailand.
Wow
Thank you
Sounds like going carnivore/ keto would be an option...😊
Cầu mong nhà khoa học nghiên cứu thành công phương pháp phục hồi lại tủy sống để mọi người chấn thương tủy bị liệt đi lại được.
Hello Brooke. I am glad You have the ability to use a manual wheelchair 😊
Thank you, souch, for sharing your story about difficult experiences... I am 67, and now, I imagine how you felt when you received cancer diagnosis.... Stay healthy and be happy!!!!
I am currently journeying alongside my husband as he walks this same path with metastatic stomach cancer. It is grueling in the extreme and life changing in its impact on the whole family. My greatest respect to you and your support team for the way you continue to get through this and encourage others
I don't think this disease is that rare! We live in a high stressed world and its super hard to get diagnosed. First the Drs don't believe you, then the tests are not clear cut. Its soo frustrating!
Curious as to why Paula Voelker died in 2016?
I just had 3 lymph nodes and a salivary gland removed that had melanoma. We Pray they got it all. But I will be getting Keytruda in case more is in my body
Has anyone tried Dupixent? They are wanting me to start it to control my EOE
Perhaps someday Lori could share recipes & other things that help her along in the journey. Being a chef is there a way for you to show us our enjoyment for food through her creations while on this journey?
Twin sister diagnosed with a GBM 7/2016 & passed away 4/2017. Miss her terribly every day 😢😢
My doctor ignored me as if I was drug seeking. He did send me to a gynecologist. She says things feel fine. I looked like I was pregnant. Back pain, sweating, pain in abdomen. The pain got worse so my plan go to er get problems figured out. They found a football size ovarian tumor. They sent me on a medical jet down to Seattle. They removed the tumor and did a debulking, took out some lymph node’s. Cancer didn’t spread outside the tumor. At the er they told me I would most likely die. I did go visit them when I got home. They were shocked, no chemo, no treatment my decision. That was in May 2011.
I have seen a lot of videos from doctors here on TH-cam that explain how to starve cancer.I wish you all the best God bless you
Thank Gosh you caught it.

Omgoodness…. How are they treating it??
I know two people with this condition.
you can feel gout when its forming crystals, weird feeling ever. unreal pain.
My husband has this. Don’t take steroids or pharmaceuticals. Go see a holistic doctor and get allergies tested. It’s caused by allergies and inflammation.
What a story, what a person to endure this and be able to carry on, show positivity, and love for his family and kids I going to have some sort of treatment soon It's going to be at home with pills at least to start. The Doctor said there is no cure, just supress it. Really appreciate Kenny making the video and sharing. It means a lot to me. Best to U, Kenny, and Ur beautiful family.🥀
