This is why I hate flying. I spend the entire flight worrying about having an accident. I will try to notify the flight attendants next time in advance of the flight and see if that helps with my stress.

Have you tried... well, no but I guess we can test how deeply your audacity runs vs how thin my patience is... *sigh* there are days people make me roll my eyes so hard I fear I'll throw my back out

This is so cute!! TH-cam > all other social media

Hi i also have poly-autoimmunity! Im sorry your suffering <3 it's interesting to see how you model your strength!! I can manage both of my autoimmune issues through a strict diet, but it's a battle to not get too neurotic about food since it can trigger episodes + send me to the hospital. When I am dealing with bad symptoms I usually let myself rest, and conversely, I show my strength by really tackling 'executive' tasks that I literally cannot do when I have brain fog. That makes me feel like i have control of my brain

That is adorable. 😂 Car karaoke.

Keep sharing, I'm following your journey and this is outstanding information. I'm totally in the "admit defeat" camp but definitely makes sense to keep appealing!

I get my nails done and pedicures, walks, put noise canceling 🎧 on and sing at the top of my lungs... long baths with Epsom salt

Thanks for posting this, I feel seen as a fat crohnie and haven’t found many people of places to relate to on that.

Wasn’t sure if that screeching noise at the start was your garage door or your hips. 😜

👍🏾🙆🏽‍♀️🙂

Hot tub and sauna at the gym.

I do a bit of the opposite. I try to learn new things and read more when I sense I have a challenge ahead. I learn everything about that challenge and then I tackle in whatever way I can. Something we do share in common is to always keep gratitude present every single day.

I relate to jumping into something physical to get through adversity so much. When I was first diagnosed, I was in college and in a sorority, and we did a lot of step shows, and won a lot of trophies. Not to brag, but I stepped harder than most because I had something to prove to myself. My body might have been actively trying to kill me, but I was going to clap, stomp, and step her into submission lol, to prove to myself that I am stronger than I thought I was. Love you, Barrett! Your vlogs always hit home for me. Even through plaque psoriasis you are stronger than you think! 💜

Wow, very inspiring. Every time my thyroid crashes, first I get more depressed (which handily is part of thyroid problems), then I let it be okay to lie down more often, and let my weight hover and be happy with that....okay, not be frustrated and angry with that...LOL

This was so good, Barrett. For me its about getting out and wheeling. Pushing myself a little figuratively and literally 😅

The best way to show the people who support your gratitude is by offering a helping hand when they need it. But Kudos to you because I could not have moved been 1/8 of that amount of firewood lmao. Now would I have tried - Yes!!! Because I also like proving to myself that I can lol. Will these gems be featured in the Working With Disabilities book, because "Adversity is your biggest teacher" needs to be on a shirt!

I took on a month of animal flow classes last fall when confronted with disappointment and it helped, but is unaffordable going forward... great topic and wishing you wellness in your soul to accept the new situation. 💕

What do I do to overcome adversity?? What, retreating into historical romance novels doesn't work?!

Lumber before breakfast isn't the "morning wood" any of us were expecting... 😂

I FEEL THIS SOOO MUCH!!! Jumps through screen to hug you guys. I jump into mental things to keep my challenged and show capabilties. Though I've had the inadverted physical ones lol. You are going to be fine, you're discovering something little by little. Plaque psoriasis is definitely heriditary so it was probably set in motion to activate. My grandpa's mothers line I think several family members actually had it when they were living.. Man it brings back memories of using tar smelly shampoos when it flared in my hair..

Whoa, this is intense for me when I am feeling at my best. Not sure if this method would work for me. I think I would need time to feel bummed and process. Then I would need to come up with a plan before I could crawl out of my hole! Way to go. I really liked this style. More vids like this please.

Helping your mom and a workout. <3

You've been fighting do long for this! ❤So happy for you!

A freaking men!

-Crohns and plaque psoriasis also.No- not as fun as polyamory 😂❤❤❤

My whole live docters said i need to loose weight, now i need to gain weight becaus it's dangerous for my remicade dosis.

Me too! I told them I had enough and no longer wanted additional auto immune diseases, but no one listened

😮Poo!

Always weigh with less clothes on. I despise it when people are like “my beats friends mom cured her MS when they blah blah blah” and it’s probably why I don’t share more about my own stuff. But seeing your videos gives me courage..maybe

Ugh lol sames!! But the drs think there's another and will be testing me again soon *sigh*

I have the following: Alopecia Scoliosis Multiple Sclerosis I’m sure if I went to the dr more regularly they’d add more

'likely less fun' KING of the understatement! OOF! 👎

At this point, I don't think I have collected anymore autoimmune disorders. I got other stuff going but not any more of the autoimmune variety.

Oh I know this all too well. Hi Im Dee and I'm Multi. 😂 (Not my Disability Anonymous greeting) - RA, Fibro, Hyperurocemia. Plus currently being tested for Hashimoto's thyroiditis, psoriasis and Type 1 (appearantly you need 2 different positive blood tests to confirm a diagnosis). And that's outside of my other disorders that arent considered autoimmune themselves. Good times.

Roll call - crohn's and RA. So poly here too?! LMAO!

Polyautoimmunity Roll Call: Crohn's disease and Plaque Psoriasis! Woot woot! How about you? Have more than one?

Thank you!! It was not Our business! Some people are so selfish. She needs our prayers not a busy body group of selfish people

I struggle with this too! When I’m in a bad flare I can get down to 110 but right now I’m at 150 and it’s so hard 😭. It’s hard to eat better with Crohn’s. It really can be a struggle!

There are support groups .

Sorry for the loss of your friend. 😢. 🙏 ❤. And i am sorry for your depression and thank you for sharing this important and informstive messsage. I have 2 chronic illnesses, and though i have never had suicidal ideations, however it gets lonely when family and friends wont talk with me about it. Hang in there Barret. 🙏.

❤❤❤❤❤

Hi, I just found your channel and I think you’re fantastic! I was just put on Phentermine last month. I am on the lowest dose of 15 mg. I lost 10 pounds in the first month. I have not experienced ANY side effects. I don’t have Crohn’s but I have Bile Acid Malabsorption (BAM). I take meds daily for this, and have not had any adverse effects from the Phentermine. I still get what you are going through. Before I was diagnosed and found a drug to help me every place I went. I had a look for the bathroom. Accidents at work, in the grocery store, at home. Thank goodness they were able to find a medication to help me, but I still have flareups. I wish you luck on the Phentermine, so far it’s working for me and I’m sure it will work for you too.

yes I had one guy tell me my crutches where just so I could get a seat on the bus my response want me to hit you with one than it we’ll be real 😂some are just plain ignorant was in the store heard clapping this lady was so proud I wasn’t using my crutches hello how would you like me to get the item off the shelf without leaning my crutches against it I have moments where I think wtf is wrong with you unless you have had a chronic illness keep your peas and Q to yourself I don’t need a cheering squad or judge simple

I agree ☝️ with you 100% !!!

i’ve been there I felt worthless but faith gave me another chance made me see things differently how much a gift life is even on the dark days there is always light to be found we all have a purpose something special we can offer others so instead of wanting to lay down and give up I stop pause realizing I didn’t go through all that shit pardon the pun to give up it’s not a bad life just a bad day

yes have you tried this or that my response no but standing on my head worked 😂the looks I get some don’t understand we have an illness that doesn’t always have the same symptoms or outcome others have had i’m just thankful for each day even if some are difficult you either choose to let it win or rise above it and conquer each milestone life gives you

Is you'd insurance medicare? Why have they not offered you stelara or skyrizi.

Thank you for sharing your story. My Crohn's was silent, and I found out about it with the removal of a stricture.

i believe you never let your illness define who you are as a person yes I have crappy days ones where I can’t go out but I don’t use it as an excuse not to find joy in everyday to try and do things those that say your lazy get a job there really is nothing wrong with you unless you have walked someone’s mile you have no right to judge them
