I loved the transitions for this video. You pulled off the location changes so smoothly. Your verbal recollection for this video felt so natural.
xasasux I thought that was genius too!
Your description sounds exactly like a gallbladder attack. The first time I had one (in my 20's!) I thought I was having a heart attack. I'm so sorry that you haven't been feeling well and I hope you never have to go through that again. Have a great time in California!
You are such a trouper to even try to film a vlog from the emergency room -- and so brave to share your vulnerable moment with the whole internet!
I love these videos! Re the closet decluttering video, I was SO grateful to you for showing the real side of tackling decluttering! So many videos make it seem like a happy party with woodland creatures a la cleaning scene from Disney. Yours was a breath of fresh air. I'm not alone! This is NORMAL to feel these emotions! THANK YOU!!!!!!
So sorry to hear about the pain. You poor thing! My heart goes out to you and am sending lots of hugs and sparkles and hope you NEVER have to deal with that again.
I've been to ER 4 times. 3 times when I was 4 years old with asthma attacks, and 1 time as an adult with excruciating back pain.
Here's to a pain free June and achieving those goals!!!
I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability. Keep doing your thing!
sounds like it could be your gallbladder. Had mine removed 3years ago. At first docs couldn't figure it out. Ask to have an ultrasound to check for stones.
Oh my, what a month! I do hope they track down the source of your pain VERY soon and put it right ASAP.
I’m so glad you’re back and better, Laura! YOU matter, and what you create is incredibly valuable to me. Much love to you and your family!
I’m jumping on the gallstones train. I had my gallbladder removed 3 years ago and my pain was worse than childbirth as well. It also took my doctors a long time to figure it out. A friend had stabbing chest pain similar to yours when she had gallstones. I hope you figure it out soon.
That looks like the panic attacks I have at times - chest pain, can't breathe, sometimes light headed... I can do a bit of it around my migraines too, but I am one of those people where light, sound, and movement all impact my migraines. Back pain can cause pain similar to a heart attack as we found out on our attempt to go on vacation, all Dad was missing was the nausea. It might be a couple things to consider if it hasn't been already. I hope once everything gets settled things smooth out and it all vanishes back into the hole it had been hiding in. Good luck with the house.
Your videos are getting better all the time! Great work. Thanks for the creativity
Oh, that's so lovely to hear. Thank you so much. I truly appreciate that. 😁
Crazy month! 😯 I hope you're feeling better by now and the doctors sort out what is ailing you. Sometimes pregnancy causes changes on a woman's body in unexpected ways. Your doctor stated it might be diet related and it might be. Even when you eat healthy, you might be surprised the adverse reactions to eating certain foods. For example, tomatoes are good for you but some people with preexisting conditions have bad reactions to consuming them. I hope everything else is coming along well. Good old Scout being mommy's little champ. 👩👧💕 I hope June is a better month for you. TFS. 😊
Check your gallbladder!!! When I was pregnant with my son randomly I would have the worst pain ever in my chest, shoulder and I would throw up non stop. After birth it went away and 3 years later boom went to doctor after doctor, 4 times in the hospital. Finally after two years of on and off attacks I had the worst one ever and passed out throwing up home alone with my baby.. my husband came home to find me and called 911, 6 days in the hospital they had no idea what was wrong. After being released I changed doctors yet again. She walked in read my chart asked me a couple questions and said it’s your gallbladder. Immediately sent me to ER had a sonogram and my gallbladder was full of stones. Surgery a week later! Such a simple test after years of dealing with the pain. I have researched the gallbladder and apparently it is very common for women who have given birth to have gallbladder problems. Sorry for long story and I hope you get answers soon!
Good Lord! That was way too much to handle in one month! Hope you stay feeling better. Another possibility to check on is esophageal spasms. My dad started having them a few decades ago; he went through everything you did, but eventually the"nutcracker" type of spasm was diagnosed. Now I get them, too--and they are truly hideous. Thankfully, also rare. I believe my own are triggered by gastric reflux. I want to add that I first started watching your videos several years ago but have not seen any for quite a long time. Wow! What a dynamite videographer you have become!
Gosh! That was very raw! I hope you've had a diagnosis since then :(
Sadly not. But it hasn't been so bad since then that's it's required hospitalisation, so I'm grateful for that.
Extroverting...I love it. I definitely going to use it.
Sounds like a crazy month! So glad you're feeling better!
So as not to be too lengthy in my comments, as I often do for each of your videos...from now on I offer a hug and iHeart symbol....Sooo sorry about your pain. Glad you are better and hope the problem is resolved. Love you Laura.....as all your viewers surely do.
Oh gosh, my sweet YT friend. I’m so sorry you felt so awful. Oh dag, virtual hug, that’s awful!
I’m not a doctor but wondered if it was omentum or nerve pain when I saw the clip of you crying. Even the time frame of 4 hours fits.... just a thought from a concerned fan.
I too suffer with migraines...It sucks so bad and you have my empathy!!!
I discovered you a few minutes ago...wish it was when you began this channel! Someone in my family has Celiac so I wonder whether it turned out to be your diagnosis. I look forward to seeing other videos beginning with those you uploaded quite a while ago. All the best from Virginia (my new residence, for the first time in my life, as of last month)😇
Thank you! Sadly I'm still waiting on a diagnosis. Issues are ongoing, but I tested negative for Celiac.
I agree with the ones below, it sounds very much like a problem with your gallbladder. Terrible, unbearable pain that is in the middle, up under the bottom of your ribs. Feels like someone running a sword through your entire torso, and you can't breathe or move, and it's often accompanied by vomiting. Eating anything spicy or greasy can flare it up very badly. I had to have mine removed a few years ago. I would suggest it to the dr and have them check it. Take care!!
You don't mention exactly where the pain is, but if its your right flank, then odds are it's a gallbladder attack. If they find nothing on the CT (i.e. stones in gall bladder or in the bile duct), it doesn't mean you are clear. For one, stones can be sneaky and hide in the bile duct, or it can be what my husband's issue was which is just a dead gall bladder. The test to take for that is called a HIDA scan. It's an expensive test that doctors for some reason aren't crazy about ordering, but its the best test to determine if your gall bladder is functioning properly. My husband had every blood test, CT, X ray, etc, and everything came back normal. BUT, when I insisted on a HIDA scan, and his doctor agreed, they said his GB just sort of quivered like dead fish, so out it came, and he's fine now. Hopefully they ruled out appendix (you can have attacks like this as well even if it appears normal). Very good chance it's gall stones or a stone in the bile duct though. Now if it seems to be right under your ribs, and not deep in your body, there's a chance it's a rib that is out and a chiropractor can adjust it. (I thought for several months I was having a heart problem, and it turns out after a car accident, it had put a rib out of whack. Since my chiro adjusted me a few times, and specifically the ribs, I'm fine and can take full breaths without pain now. Good luck! Oh, and "improving your diet", can actually bring on gall stone attacks. Read up on diet for gall bladder, that may help.
I have atypical cystic fibrosis, which can cause terrible digestive issues, recurrent sinus and respiratory infections, etc. I am an American of mostly Irish ancestry. Do you think you might have atypical CF? Johns Hopkins has some great info about it on their website. I am now almost 44 and was finally properly diagnosed at age 41! The infections were so bad and so frequent that I began taking daily preventative antibiotics at 39. Your ancestry (and mine) make us much more likely to have CF than the general population. Just an idea. Big hugs to you! Loved this vid!!
Btw, I get excruciating pain like that when I have blocked ducts and other digestive mini-crises. The ducts unblock themselves over time (usually hours), but the bouts are unpredictable and debilitating.
Have you been checked for gallstones? I had mine removed a couple years ago as I was getting severe attacks which resulted in paramedics being sent out.
Angie Mills Gallstones was my thought too. Comparable levels of pain, and also sporadic. I hope that all is well soon.
I was about to comment the same thing...I had a gall bladder attack when I was pregnant and it felt I had been stabbed, it was awful.
Angie Mills I was thinking gallstones too. It was awful.. I couldn't breath, pain was intense, I throw up and every single time I had to go to hospital... until
My gallstones was removed over ten years ago.
I was also going to suggest getting checked for deep vein thrombosis given the amount and length of airplane time. I hope you feel better soon, I’m so sorry to hear this.
I agree. The first time I had a gallbladder attack it lasted about 4hrs. My mother a former nurse almost called an ambulance, instead someone else drove me.
I've heard that pregnancy can trigger gallbladder problems. All it takes is a ultrasound to see if you have gallstones or not.
Loved this May Vlog update. Hope next month is easier for you. All the best from 🇦🇺🐨😀🐨😀
Sounds like Gall Bladder
I love watching you driving, recognizing most of where you are..lol I hope you're doing well! We really should meet up soon. If the house situation falls through again, there are a lot of houses for sale in my neighborhood.
Please, please be well. You'll be in my thoughts.
Wow! Sorry to hear about all that! I can sympathize with having a bad time. My January through March were awful this year.
I hope things have improved since. 💖
It might be a good idea to get tested for food sensitivity - Caitlin Shoemaker just made a video about it (with a discount code). I know dairy caused me a lot of health problems and they got a lot better when I cut back on it (now I don't eat any dairy anymore). I'm curious what are some of the things you're looking for or avoiding when house-hunting? :- )
Processed foods caused my endometriosis 😯 then I went vegan fir a year after the surgery and haven't even been sick. Years later when I eat and crap or meat and dairy I get body aches and get sick and generally feel shitty. Maybe you could try a whole foods approach too
You would be surprised by what is diet related: diabetes, heart disease... although it is not a panacea, please consider a whole-foods planet based diet. :). Wishing you wellness.
So sorry about your mystery illness! I hope it never visits you again!
You are adorable in that black cap! So sorry to hear you've been unwell, so much not winning. (btw, I think the Reds beat the Mets, not the Jets, as they are a football team hehehe).
You are so cute in that baseball cap! Great video!
I usually wear it to cover the fact that my hair's sticking up. 😂
That is exactly how it was when my gallbladder went kaput. An ultrasound would have showed something if that was the case. Hopefully it doesn’t happen again, but if it does, demand an U/S!
I've had two ultrasounds, and my gallbladder has been removed. Still at a loss. 😕
OMG SOOO MANY CLOTHES? You're in America now obviously. How big were your closets in Ireland?
Take care and get some rest.
Oh my goodness, sounds rough. Kidney stones for me are worse than childbirth and I fear the next time they come around.
Get well. You're only 34? You little bud ♥
Hope you are feeling better!
Awww hope u get better very soon
You poor dear! I wanted to hug you and tell you everything will be okay. Migraines and ER? Awwww. Hope you have a pain-free month. Finding and closing on a home is very stressful. And you’ve had a very busy month included. And let me tell you, when I decluttered my closet, I complained and ranted and fussed more than you. So don’t change a thing, we love you the way you are.
I pray you are feeling better!! Diet related? Get another Dr.! What state are y'all in?
could it have been a pulled muscle? I've had that happen. Many years ago we looked for a very long time to buy a home... maybe 100 homes later we ended up in a condo, that we lived in for 17 years
Dude! I don't know how you don't know this, but YES, you do a LOT. I know what has been ailing you! I'm going to tell you, and you can take it with a grain of salt, but know that I have been through a lot of mental pain myself, never that much physical pain from it, but I've never pushed myself like you do yourself. First and foremost, you are an introvert who is pushing herself to read AND RESPOND to everyone who writes you. DON'T do that! It's a step beyond what anyone expects or has a right to expect from you! It's too much for your fragile plate to hold. Seriously! Yes, we love you, but I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that you are not the only person on TH-cam that we love. You're simply not the only one! Now, it would be awesome if you say something about my "Why" on the goal setting video, but if you simply say, "read" I'll know that what you're actually saying is, "Now THAT is a why!" I know it! Don't respond to this unless you feel the need to say something simple like, "read". Maybe follow with a smile. :) Please give yourself some time to relax and think about why this began after Scout was born. I have two children. I know how much work goes into loving them with all your heart! Most rewarding thing ever, but HARD work! Now think about what has been happening in your life lately. This is going to sound crazy, and maybe it is, but.. I think your body caused you so much pain to cause you to release with tears. Laughter and crying are how we let mental crap go! That is true! Physical anguish doesn't normally make people cry. It made you cry and I'll bet you have been feeling better since, perhaps after sleeping a while after that crying session. Nothing but love, sister. Slan.
Hi! I really enjoy your videos. Your vision board one inspired me to do my own right when I needed it. Thank you :) Are the new transitions a result of some of the things you learnt at vidcon? :)
It's good to hear that you're feeling better now :) This may be right off kilter, but have you or the doctors considered if the pain might be musculoskeletal related? For a few years I was getting a sharp stabby pain (really painful, felt like my ribs were trying to overlap my sternum) and I couldn't figure out what it was. It came and went over a couple of years. It wasn't until I went to a physiotherapist for other issues that it came to light that some of my ribs on one side of my chest were being pulled forward by tight pectoral muscles. The resultant pain was neural from the involved ligaments being on constant stretch. With treatment from the physio & exercises it has gone away and now only flares up occasionally if I do certain things. I only mention it as you said you've had it since Scout arrived and I wondered if it might be related to all the forward bending, lifting, and carrying a mother does. I wish you all the luck with finding and treating the cause (especially with what I have heard about the American health care system :P ). Remember if you're not happy with one doctor's opinion, it's your right to get a second opinion.
Hi! No, the transitions weren't learned at VidCon; I'm just generally trying to improve my editing. 😊 And that's wonderful about your vision board! Well done!
My doctors in Ireland definitely discussed musculoskeletal options but, at the time, it was discovered that my kidney stones had disappeared so we were working off the basis that those were causing the pain and I'd managed to pass them. That was a year and a half ago and, before this bout, was the last time I'd had it.
I do have scoliosis (albeit mild, thankfully) so that may be causing an issue.
Honestly, the doctors I've seen here appear more interested in filling out forms and checking boxes than in really getting to the root of the problem. Having said that, I do have limited experience with US healthcare so I may be mis-judging. So far, though, I miss the Irish system terribly!
Took me a while to figure out what heartburn and gas pain were. Hoping you can get some answers!
My mom has an esophegial thing (,sp).... she has spray nitro... symptoms are similiar to heart issues....
any lady I know describing that kind of pain being worse than child labor turned out to have a kidney stones issue. you should get checked for that to avoid the trouble. OR it's an acid disbalance in your stomach perhaps???
My birthday is also in May. I'm 33 🙂 and I also had a visit to A&E 😅
Good to hear you are feeling better :) Have you had a colonoscopy?
Do you have asthma by chance? My chest has had similar problems due to asthma.
Have you had an EGD (upper endoscopy)?
Have you had an endoscopy?
So sorry you were unwell!! Go vegan! Go check out nutritionfacts.org ❤️❤️
