I dont know what to say guys. I just went through alot of comments on this video. I dont know what to say or do. The support you are giving me on this video is insane. Thank you! And if I didnt reply to a direct question from you. Please tweet it at me so I can reply to you!!
I have a similar disease called ulcerative colitis and I'm sort of feeling a similar way right now. I'm actually considering the permanent ileostomy because there isn't a mid-way surgery for this. I feel better after watching this, if I'm honest.
Tobbe du är grym och tack för att du delar allt detta med oss, väldigt starkt av dig! Har följt dig på din resa i fyra år och du är en person som jag alltid kommer att komma ihåg när jag tänker tillbaka på dessa år! Tack!
Holy shit man, that is a lot for one guy to go through, especially going through it as a teen, kind of touched us at 14:40 for a bit and could tell it really impacted on your life. I guess you kept the chin up though bro it takes a lot of courage to go through with something like a Stoma because your first reaction is what other people would think of you and if your life will be the same afterwards. Props to you though dude for sticking through it and I hope you the best of luck! I hope to see you again sometime dude in real life, I'll make sure I don't bring white wine to the party! :P Peace out dude and see you soon!
The fact that you took the time to watch the whole video and that you really felt for him and made that really nice sympathetic comment even made me feel good! Don't know why it touched me so much it just did!
hey cha, you and tejbz are my favourite youtubers,never knew you guys knew each other. and that was really nice of you to take the time ti watch this video, and to support him. most big youtubers never seem to actually comment because they think they are too "famous" to comment or whatever it is. anyway, you and tejbz are my favourite youtubers because you are real. you guys arent acting to be nice for the camera, abd being rude irl. you're legit people. and tell azzy that he's so bad at bf...bro
+ChaBoyyHD Dude I totally missed this. I didnt want to go in on this video for a bit cuz I was so touched by some of the stuff people had written. But thank you man. And I hope to see you soon!
You have so much mental strength, I personally could not go through what you did. Especially as a teenager. My sister suffers from Crohns and is now receiving treatment for it. Just hearing your experiences makes me think about all of the things that can strike us down both mentally and physically and how they can change our lives. You have my respect on how you have managed to live life normally, it takes allot of courage to do this sort of thing so props to you.
Tejb, I haven't watched your videos in like 2 years. Back when I watched a lot of game play videos, (especially 2009) you were my favorite. You are the most genuine person on TH-cam, thank you for sharing these stories of your life with us. Love you man.
Great video tejbz! I am a fellow Crohns sufferer as well, I was diagnosed when I was 12 and I had surgery when I was 14, I'm now 27 years old and am very appreciative of stories such as yours. (The initial pain and surgery was one of the toughest times, if not the toughest time of my life). Regarding foods: I do my best to stay away from coffee, certain dairy products, greens- sometimes lettuce effects my stomach negatively. I'm like you in that I still indulge once and a while (I have somewhat of a sweet tooth). I'm constantly learning what I can and cannot eat. Even certain brands of alcoholic beverages I have learned to stay away from. I try not to get too stressed out and certainly music and video games help with this. I have a rewarding full time job, loving wife and family. I live an active life with Crohns, playing ice hockey in a local league for fun. My mother did a lot of research for natural products following my surgery almost 14 years ago and I truly believe I've been healthier because of some of these products: 1) Live bacteria (Increases white blood cells in your body to help fight viruses, cancers etc). I've used different Live bacteria’s over the years, but currently I'm taking "Flora" UDO's Choice Super Bifido Plus Probiotic - it has 61 Billion viable cells - comes in a 30 pack. 2) Most recently I started taking: "Silver Solutions" by AK Nutrition - New Nano technology scientifically tested liquid. This product is the newest breakthrough according scientific research that helps fight numerous illnesses as well as Crohns. 3) Following my surgery I became iron deficient and at that time learned I required a steady intake of Vitamin B/Iron. - I use "Simply Right" - Vitamin B12 - 2500 mcg dissolve tablets. 4) "SISU" Magnesium capsules (which helps your body maintain proper muscle function to metabolize carbs, fats and proteins). 5) Vitamin C - Any brand with a lot of mg’s will do. (I purchase these products at my local natural health supplements store, it’s important for me that I take these pills every day as I truly believe they have helped me stay healthy over the years). Following being diagnosed I expressed to my older brother that I was concerned what girls would think of me as well, he told me essentially the same thing you said in this video. “Girls will like you man, don’t worry, if they are that vain then why would you want to be with a person like that anyway.” He was bang on and I never had an issue with relationships because of my Crohns. Please make sure you look into Probiotics/Live Bacteria as well if you’re not already taken it. I can recall at the hospital when I was 14 the Crohns Specialist Doctor was speaking to my mother about the live bacteria my mother had purchased at the local health supplements store to which the Doctor said this to her, “What you are given your son is the best for him, there is nothing better that I can prescribe, live bacteria's are the future of medicines.” He said this knowing what he could prescribe was not up to par with this live bacteria. Best wishes tejbz, thank you for sharing this with your subscribers.
Tejbz, you have a lot of guts to say things like that to an audience of currently 535,789 people. You have been through a lot in your life that many of us will never experience in our lives. From what i know i don't have/haven't had any kind of disease anywhere near crohns. But i am now more aware of the struggles that people with it have to face or have had to face. You have had a difficult life and everybody's life is difficult. Usually in different ways which is why my mom always says there is somebody that has it worse than you. I have been having a difficult past couple of months and mostly because of a breakup that i had then. I wont go into any details but that has been a big problem for me. It has been hard for me to get this girl out of my head because my mind is very overactive and remembers quite an amount of things. This makes it hard to forget things such as this breakup even through a lot of meditation, clearing my mind, and other things of the sort. But this video has reminded me about the hardships of others and the struggles that people can face for a very long time. To everyone else who took the time to read this and are struggling with a serious problem or even a minor problem, don't give up. There is always better things in store for you. It may seem like there is little hope but trust me, the best of your life is yet to come. Be around to discover it.
It takes a certain type of person to be able to share something like that so openly and honestly, props man. Can't imagine what you've been through but I have a lot of respect for you for coming out stronger on the other side :)
Tejb, I work as an endoscopy tech and I deal with this type of thing every day. Stay strong my brother, you've done everyone such a great service by talking about this. I watched this video because it directly relates to what I do for a living, but I truly do appreciate you talking about this.
***** Hey man, I've been watching your videos for just over 5 years now, watching this was extremely hard, especially when you teared up! Man, you've touched so many lives just by doing what you do here on the internet, seeing you like that actually makes me upset. I'm glad you're recovering and had some great people with you to get you through this! You forever have my support
Got diagnosed at 18 after about a year of issues. Still haven't really accepted it and definitely have ups and downs. Good to see you talking about it so publicly, really helps. Best wishes man.
Around 3 years ago, I got Ulcerøs Kolitt. I lost 16kg in 1 year and got underweight. I had to go through 3 operations. I had a stomi myself and I had an operation and got rid of it after a year. I still have some problems with my stomach, but its alot better. I know the feeling man. Total respect!
Before watching this video I didn't really knew what Crohns and a stoma where. I find it very brave that you talked so open about the subject. As you mentioned talking about problems with somebody gives a huge relief and makes you feel a lot better. I wish you all the best for 2014 and beyond and hope seeing you on youtube for a long time! You definitely have been an inspiration for me since you started this channel. So I just wanna say thanks for all!
You have crohns?! I had no idea. I also have crohns, I'm 16 and have been diagnosed for 2 years. I don't have a stoma. And there are very few things I can eat that don't bother me. I get bad stomach aches and very loud stomach gurgles. I've had to miss a lot of school, which sucks, especially being in high school. It took me about 5 years to get diagnosed because of a family doctor who wouldn't send me to a specialist, and instead just kept giving me pills. Finally we got a new one and I went to a specialist and got diagnosed. Right now I'm on a pill ( can't remember the name), I take 2 a day at supper, and I have to take 1 pill in the morning to help with pain. I also take 2-4 Tylenol a day and 2-4 pepto bismol a day to help with pain. Along with 5 vitamins (since I can't eat or drink a whole lot). I've been lucky in the sense that I haven't had to have any surgeries yet, or had to do anything crazy like swallow a tube. I did have a scope done, that's how they found my crohns (I was asleep haha). The gurgles are probably the worst part of it, I've had to sit through so many classes with these loud stomach gurgles and it's so embarrassing. I can mask the pain, and deal with the pain, but there's no way to mask the gurgles. I also have bad anxiety, and as you know stress and anxiety will also contribute to pain. So basically I get pain, have to miss school for a couple days, then I freak out because I don't know what I missed and I have to catch up, which then contributes to more pain, which I then have to miss more school, and it's just a big cycle until eventually I just force myself to go to school through the pain. I've heard that stoma's are actually kind of good though, since you can eat and drink basically anything you want, compared to without you have to really watch what you eat. I really hope they find a cure for this, or at least a better way to deal with it. And I understand where you're coming from with the depression and awful thoughts about yourself, trust me. And now I'm crying, so I'm going to stop
+MrBlankscole dude man! Im sorry I replied so late. But I feel that you are strong person. And things will work out. Its great that you have a new doctor. And I believe that you are gonna get better! sometime soon!!
This is soooo crazy. I have a chronic stomach illness, and it's been keeping me from following my dreams (being a TH-camr). I'm definitely getting back into it now. Thank you so much.
Don't worry Tejbz. Its not the end of the world. I am crippled from the waist down so I had to get a stomach for urinating more efficiently. I have not regretted any of the surgeries I have had to get a stoma. Yea it's painful for a while after the surgeries, but it is well worth it. Don't get your hopes down. You can still have a normal, enjoyable life.
Having looked trough such stories over and over Stoma is always a challenge especially when you are having crohns problems as well, I think when I got my stoma with 14 it was kind of strange for me but ad well as a relief because I was incontinent before. Now I am turning 36 and its still some daily topic. Lifelong stoma its always a burden the only thing I wish you that you learn to deal with the hard days when stoma becomes a burden and you cannot deal with it anymore. So try to get yourself in a good shape.
I have so much respect for you bro. I was diagnosed with crohns at 12 years old and had a real tough time dealing with it as a kid. I have been getting remicade infusions for about 8 years and it has made a huge difference in my life. I have always had a fear that I may need a stoma some day. I had a colonoscopy done about a month ago and my crohns looks to still be in remission. You are incredibly strong and it is inspiring to see after everything that you have been through. Thanks for sharing your story man and I wish you the best in the future.
Tobias, du är en grym och legendarisk människa och hoppas att du känner dig som en för det ska du. Du är den bästa som finns. att du delar allt med oss som ser upp till dig och gör oss glada och på bra humör. Du förtjänar mera. Önskar dig det bästa i ditt liv och ett fantastisk 2014. Full respekt för dig TOBIAS.
Stor respekt för att du klarat av denna prossen så pass bra Tobias, och att du även kan dela med dig til dina följer, hoppas att allt e bra nu och fortsättter bra :)
Tack för att du berättade för oss! Sjukt vad du har gått igenom och grymt starkt att du pratar om det nu, Respekt till dig Tobias. Du är verkligen en förebild! :)
Hey, Tejb. Jeff here. I've been thinking of doing something like this on social media. I think you're an amazing person to reveal yourself like this in public. The greatest thing about social media is to bring people together and share a common ground. This will help a lot of people in so many different ways that you may have never been able to touch without making this video. I have a few friends who have crones and have had one who needed a colostomy bag. It sucks that you've had to go through something so traumatic. I am glad that you have had the chance to go through something that has given you the opportunity to become such a strong human being. Keep up the good work. You are never alone and thanks to you more people no know the same.
Hey tejbs look after yourself. My little Bro went through same trauma and I understand how hard things were for u. Your a legend at games and so funny to listen to... keep up the good work!
Found this very interesting. My Dad had the same last year and explained it exactly the same as you. Unfortunately it caused him to pass away later on after the surgery, so you are very lucky to still be here!
I Have crohns too diagnosed in April and had surgery a week ago, totally agree on not trusting the doctors. I've been through so much shit and they just have no urgency whatsoever, they have not even given me any medication at all, not even a pain relief. I've needed emergency surgery since last November which is when i went to the doctors with 10/10 pain and a large lump and they dismissed it. I finally got the surgery a week ago! The surgeon on the other hand was wonderful i cannot thank her enough she got me in straight away as soon as the doctors decided i did need surgery which was about 3 weeks ago. I've lost so much weight, it's taken its toll on me mentally i don't go out the house now for longer than a couple hours, i used to go to work all day in an office job i really liked going to. I start my treatment on Tuesday so hopefully its on wards and upwards from here! Crohns is fucking awful. Glad you are doing ok now!
Tejb, I've been watching your videos since I was a 16 year old kid playing call of duty, you have been such an inspiration for me, I went through a major stomach disease called H-Pylori, and even though it hurt when I laughed at your videos, you made me get through it. You helped me so much through those years and I probably will never get to thank you in person and I hope you do read this. As a fellow ginger, I just want you to know how much I appreciate all the time and effort you put into these videos, and I personally want to thank you for giving me a positive mindset throughout those few years.
Hey Tejbz. I watched this video, because one of my friends, who is following you here on youtube, told me about it. I can just tell you that I pretty much know how you feel. I too have Crohns and it totally sucks. I take like 10 pills a day, and get i.v. medication every 6 weeks, to not getting a stoma. Because if i would have a stoma it would be permanent, cause it's all over in my colon. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who got traumatized by the colon examination. The first time they did it to me, i got no drugs at all, no morphin, no mask. It was insanly painfull. 1 year later they had to make the same examination again, and i was so scared, i had to sit with my head between my legs to not faint. This time they gave me morphin and something to relax on, and told me that the first time was a mistake, and that the doctor got fired 2 months after my last visit. Anyways, I just want to say thumps up for taking it so well about the whole Stoma thing. It's really cool, and i hope that you will never be put in that situation again.
This video is super old but Tejbz... I love you. I used to watch you every night back in high school. Then I quit Call of Duty and went to college. I just came across this and it means so much to hear one of my favorite TH-cam stars talk so openly because I am also going through tough times, with extreme IBS, anxiety and panic attacks. So much of what you say is relatable. I am lucky I haven't had to endure what you did, and I applaud you so much for being so strong at such a young age. This is a powerful, bananacrazy video
Just look at the comments Tejb. Everyone respects what you've been through, you're both mentally and physically strong and this will no doubt be an inspiration to many people in the future. Stay strong bro! oh..and those biceps are coming along nice ;)
Been watching your videos for years Tejbz. Youre a legend. Sometimes we must endure the rain to appreciate the rainbow. Hold that head high and keep helping others. Man love always bro!
Tejbz I have been watching your videos since i was 12 years old and im 16 now. I just wanted to tell you how much of an inspiration you are to me man. Thanks for posting all these years. You are truly a hero.
Damn man I feel ya, I have UC and had to have my colon taken out. And having a stoma is exactly how you said bro it totally sucks, completely depressing. But we are all here for ya man keep doing what you do.
Every great person in the world today has being through the shitty situations that life has dealt them, and come out the other side stronger than ever. Thank you for sharing your story bro great video.
Much respect bro! I too have crohns and was diagnosed at 14. And to be honest I've gone through a lot of similar things that you've gone through. I'm 18 now. But I've learned a lot from crohns! At 14:00 min it was really touching to me also cause I too have gone through feeling the way you have felt. I feel the same way with doctors because of prior experiences! Since I've gone through lots of medicine, remicade is one and many more I don't remember names too. Right now I'm taking all natural pills that seem to be working better. But not excellent but that's the thing with crohns it seems like. I've been asked quite a bit of times by doctors if I want to have the surgery to have a bag but I've always just been scared. But after watching this and listening to your story it had honestly made me at least think about it and take it into consideration because I know it isn't going to be as bad as I thought it was going too be. Thank you tejbz! Thanks for sharing your crohns story not just now but for prior years! I've been subbed to you since I have 12 or 13 years old! Its nice having a role model share their crohns stories especially for people that have the disease and know what its like to live with this disease on a daily basis. So thank you. Means a lot!
I'm really glad you did this video Tejb, shows a lot of trust in your subscribers. I had never heard of Chrons disease before you started talking about it and it really helps to hear you talk about your experience and learn about it. Especially when going through any sort of hospital investigation. Thanks for sharing Tejbz!
Tejbz, i have the same thing as you but with my bladder. Its hard and the worst thing i remember is having to stay in hospital over christmas. Ive learnt to live with my stoma and still manage to have a great life. Sadly, the hospitals first try at the operation went wrong and i lost over half of my bodies blood, but i luckily survived. You always have to think on the positives, thanks for sticking around :)
Jag har varit med dig (Tejbz) sen din 9k subscribers video och detta var första gången jag såg dig vissa dina känslor.Alla skriver att du pratar om din sjukdom hela tiden men det är jävligt svårt att glömma någonting som har tagit upp så mycket tid utav ditt liv. RESPEKT!!!!
Nobody should go through what you have. You are really strong, go get that girl and make the best of your life. Life is not over, you have to give it your all. I have gasthiritis and i understand your pain to some degree. Pain can make you realize who you really are.
Tejbz! MY BROTHER. I feel you so much. I have had crohns since I was 14. Im 18 now and my flare up honestly make me feel ready to die. I know what youre going through. It will never end. Its a rollercoaster ride of feelings. I lost 40 lbs as of writing this im in a flare up. Stay strong brother! All the crohnies got yo back! IBD Buddies? IBD Buddies
Its great you can tell us this kinda stuff. Its funny how your being serious telling about the disease and joking about it at the same time. Its a great way to look at things. Awesome.
Really glad that you made it through and you're feeling better about yourself now Tejbz, respect. I have pretty bad IBS (Which is now controlled very well by tablets) but I went through stages where it just destroyed my social life and shattered my confidence - and quite frankly, IBS is nothing compared to having Chrohns. It puts things in perspective a little.
I'm 17 and was diagnosed with crohns last year, and am feeling really good now. Medications really helps... Methotrexate is what I take. It sucks but it gets better. The stomach pains made me not able to function, and had to stop anything and everything till they passed, I have a colonoscopy too, it sucks , but it gets better! Good luck!
I never comment on TH-cam videos but as struggling 18 year old that has been in hellish pain for a week this video really helped me. You're awesome tejbz.
I can relate to you Tejbz, I was diagnosed with crohns @ 19 years old. It's definitely been a wild roller coaster ride. I've never had any surgeries and I can eat anything I want. I might be lucky but there are TONS of ways around fighting this disease and curing yourself besides taking meds everyday. I hope you see this message I have done a shitload of research and take all natural products to keep it in check.I'd love to talk to you about it if you're interested.
It's touching to hear what you've gone through and it made me realize even more what an amazing and strong person you are Tobias. It touched a lot to see you break toghetter like that and I hope you feel alright after the surgery,and everything else you've gone through. Keep it up man, you're a big inspiration to many including me. Hugs from Gothenburg.
Feel for you having to deal with this from such a young age, I have Crohns too and the pain when it was at it's worst was agony. Hope you are now well and truly on the mend and you can get on with your life.
thank you for opening up bro, its such a hard thing to do and takes so much balls, especially to broadcast it over the net, loved ya from the start man and always will, you have had a positive effect on my day and life and i thank you for it, to tha face!
Thanks for making this video tejbz and bringing awareness to crohns! It made me feel better knowing I'm not alone. I've had it for 13 years now and I'm currently trying to cure it
Wow. Så galet starkt att ta dig igenom det OCH berätta om det för hela världen, respekt till Tobias! Har också varit subbad i 5-6 år och det här var den bästa videon du gjort.
thx mate for explaining it. A friend of mine has it too, was always a bit too afraid to ask. Now I understand this desease more, thanks to you. I hope you'll be fully recovered once
excellent story. Makes a man really look back at what he has. Glad you overcame it and looking daft as ever. Watched since the Mw2 days but never knew. Great video, Tejbz.
wow tejbz this is amazing, all the kids going through the same thing you are, they should look to you as a role model, by far the most inspirational thing i have ever seen on youtube. And congratulations on getting your stoma removed :)
My brother suffers from this. He had to have his bowel removed. He is still happy though. We in life have to keep moving forward no matter what : Respect bro. Hope u stay well
Tobias! Började få tårar ungefär vid 14 minuter då du bara satt tyst. Jag har själv gått igenom mycket under det senaste vilket gjorde att jag kände som du, men denna videon kommer jag alltid komma ihåg och kommer tänka på denna när jag har problem igen! Under dessa 4 år så är detta fan det djupaste du berättat och du har förtjänat all min respekt!! Fortsätt med episka videos!! :)
this video is deep tejbz. ive had crohns since i was 18. and gotta say it sucks, now that i know what stoma is... im so worried now. but watching this video and seeing what you went tho i know i can overcome it when my time comes for my own stoma. wish you the best. and keep your videos coming!
I've got colitis (similar to Crohn's) and a related condition called primary sclerosing cholangitis which affects my liver. I have to take medicine for both conditions every day. Luckily, I feel pretty good most days. Having a chronic condition really helps to put life in perspective. I cannot drink acohol anymore. Well, I could but I'd probably need a liver transplant within a few years. It helps you realize what matters in life and value the time and experiences you have. Good for you for sharing your experience so others know they aren't the only ones.
Hey Tejbz, I just wanted to thank you for sharing your life story with us. It truly means a lot when you put yourself out there for everyone to see. You give everyone courage and strength to get through their toughest problems. I wish you the best of luck in life and I hope that you stay healthy. Keep on keepin' on! Much love comin your way.
im glad i clicked. thanks for your story man. it was so real and helpful on many levels. it was a brave thing to put it all out there like that and i know its gonna benefit alot of people. the feels. the feels. you're awesome, Tebj, keep on that positivity!
All I have to say is RESPECT! You even made me cry a bit, im going to do a tweet about this and I will never complain on anyting again after this... Respect *****
tejbz been watching you for so many years now, since way back and just wanted to say that youve done so much as a youtuber, made us laugh and made some amazing videos that inspired us and i just want to say thanks and that as fans we always have your back. wish you the best man and thank you for being such an awesome person
googlade på stoma, vad fan! Just nu vet jag inte riktigt vad det var men hur som hälst så måste du vart igenom riktigt mycket skit. Önskar här nu dig all lycka i värden och att du är/blir lycklig med allt som kommer härnest!
Tejb, even though you don't know me I truly feel like you're a friend. You make great entertaining videos that have made me smile a lot of times. I often watch videos of you when I am going through difficult times. I'm glad that things are getting better and I hope that these messages here will make you smile like you made me. Keep it up!
Du är så otroligt inspirerande!! Att du tagit dig igenom allt detta och ändå så håller du fortfarande på med TH-cam och gör otroligt bra videos dessutom! Fortsätt så tejbzy, vi stöttar dig!
Had UC since I was 18.. was also on Remicade and that never worked. had the operation when i was 24 and i still have my stoma for almost a year now. man i can totally relate to what you went through. the worrying, the pain and just having the disease control your life. cant even remember what life was like before i was 18
Admire your brave story, and even when you are from Norrland you are alowed to cry! And I am glad to hear your friend stayed around! those are THE friends. The "friends" who stay around when you are healthy and happy.... they still havee to prove the be called FRIENDS!!!!
Respect bro, I feel for you man, there are so shitty lows, like my mum just got diagnosed with kidney cancer with secondary's in the lung, worst day of my life.
I dont know what to say guys. I just went through alot of comments on this video. I dont know what to say or do. The support you are giving me on this video is insane. Thank you! And if I didnt reply to a direct question from you. Please tweet it at me so I can reply to you!!
I have a similar disease called ulcerative colitis and I'm sort of feeling a similar way right now. I'm actually considering the permanent ileostomy because there isn't a mid-way surgery for this. I feel better after watching this, if I'm honest.
+TwistedWheelbarrow you can get a j pouch
tejbz Inte Engelska
Tobbe du är grym och tack för att du delar allt detta med oss, väldigt starkt av dig! Har följt dig på din resa i fyra år och du är en person som jag alltid kommer att komma ihåg när jag tänker tillbaka på dessa år! Tack!
kunde inte sagt det bättre själv!
inte jag heller har också kollat på han i 4år :)
Så jäkla starkt av dig att dela med dig av det här. Har brutalt med respekt för dig Tobbe. Keep it up bro!
My stoma saved my life and I'm grateful to be living in this century or I'd be dead.
Holy shit man, that is a lot for one guy to go through, especially going through it as a teen, kind of touched us at 14:40 for a bit and could tell it really impacted on your life. I guess you kept the chin up though bro it takes a lot of courage to go through with something like a Stoma because your first reaction is what other people would think of you and if your life will be the same afterwards. Props to you though dude for sticking through it and I hope you the best of luck! I hope to see you again sometime dude in real life, I'll make sure I don't bring white wine to the party! :P Peace out dude and see you soon!
Awh man thank you! :) Looking forward to seeing you again aswell mr! :)
The fact that you took the time to watch the whole video and that you really felt for him and made that really nice sympathetic comment even made me feel good! Don't know why it touched me so much it just did!
hey cha, you and tejbz are my favourite youtubers,never knew you guys knew each other. and that was really nice of you to take the time ti watch this video, and to support him. most big youtubers never seem to actually comment because they think they are too "famous" to comment or whatever it is. anyway, you and tejbz are my favourite youtubers because you are real. you guys arent acting to be nice for the camera, abd being rude irl. you're legit people. and tell azzy that he's so bad at bf...bro
+ChaBoyyHD Dude I totally missed this. I didnt want to go in on this video for a bit cuz I was so touched by some of the stuff people had written. But thank you man. And I hope to see you soon!
You have so much mental strength, I personally could not go through what you did. Especially as a teenager. My sister suffers from Crohns and is now receiving treatment for it. Just hearing your experiences makes me think about all of the things that can strike us down both mentally and physically and how they can change our lives. You have my respect on how you have managed to live life normally, it takes allot of courage to do this sort of thing so props to you.
I have Crohn's and an ileostomy. Thanks for making this video Tejbz :) it speaks directly too me
Tejb, I haven't watched your videos in like 2 years. Back when I watched a lot of game play videos, (especially 2009) you were my favorite. You are the most genuine person on TH-cam, thank you for sharing these stories of your life with us. Love you man.
Great video tejbz! I am a fellow Crohns sufferer as well, I was diagnosed when I was 12 and I had surgery when I was 14, I'm now 27 years old and am very appreciative of stories such as yours. (The initial pain and surgery was one of the toughest times, if not the toughest time of my life). Regarding foods: I do my best to stay away from coffee, certain dairy products, greens- sometimes lettuce effects my stomach negatively. I'm like you in that I still indulge once and a while (I have somewhat of a sweet tooth). I'm constantly learning what I can and cannot eat. Even certain brands of alcoholic beverages I have learned to stay away from. I try not to get too stressed out and certainly music and video games help with this. I have a rewarding full time job, loving wife and family. I live an active life with Crohns, playing ice hockey in a local league for fun. My mother did a lot of research for natural products following my surgery almost 14 years ago and I truly believe I've been healthier because of some of these products: 1) Live bacteria (Increases white blood cells in your body to help fight viruses, cancers etc). I've used different Live bacteria’s over the years, but currently I'm taking "Flora" UDO's Choice Super Bifido Plus Probiotic - it has 61 Billion viable cells - comes in a 30 pack. 2) Most recently I started taking: "Silver Solutions" by AK Nutrition - New Nano technology scientifically tested liquid. This product is the newest breakthrough according scientific research that helps fight numerous illnesses as well as Crohns. 3) Following my surgery I became iron deficient and at that time learned I required a steady intake of Vitamin B/Iron. - I use "Simply Right" - Vitamin B12 - 2500 mcg dissolve tablets. 4) "SISU" Magnesium capsules (which helps your body maintain proper muscle function to metabolize carbs, fats and proteins). 5) Vitamin C - Any brand with a lot of mg’s will do. (I purchase these products at my local natural health supplements store, it’s important for me that I take these pills every day as I truly believe they have helped me stay healthy over the years). Following being diagnosed I expressed to my older brother that I was concerned what girls would think of me as well, he told me essentially the same thing you said in this video. “Girls will like you man, don’t worry, if they are that vain then why would you want to be with a person like that anyway.” He was bang on and I never had an issue with relationships because of my Crohns. Please make sure you look into Probiotics/Live Bacteria as well if you’re not already taken it. I can recall at the hospital when I was 14 the Crohns Specialist Doctor was speaking to my mother about the live bacteria my mother had purchased at the local health supplements store to which the Doctor said this to her, “What you are given your son is the best for him, there is nothing better that I can prescribe, live bacteria's are the future of medicines.” He said this knowing what he could prescribe was not up to par with this live bacteria. Best wishes tejbz, thank you for sharing this with your subscribers.
Tejbz, you have a lot of guts to say things like that to an audience of currently 535,789 people. You have been through a lot in your life that many of us will never experience in our lives. From what i know i don't have/haven't had any kind of disease anywhere near crohns. But i am now more aware of the struggles that people with it have to face or have had to face. You have had a difficult life and everybody's life is difficult. Usually in different ways which is why my mom always says there is somebody that has it worse than you. I have been having a difficult past couple of months and mostly because of a breakup that i had then. I wont go into any details but that has been a big problem for me. It has been hard for me to get this girl out of my head because my mind is very overactive and remembers quite an amount of things. This makes it hard to forget things such as this breakup even through a lot of meditation, clearing my mind, and other things of the sort. But this video has reminded me about the hardships of others and the struggles that people can face for a very long time. To everyone else who took the time to read this and are struggling with a serious problem or even a minor problem, don't give up. There is always better things in store for you. It may seem like there is little hope but trust me, the best of your life is yet to come. Be around to discover it.
It takes a certain type of person to be able to share something like that so openly and honestly, props man. Can't imagine what you've been through but I have a lot of respect for you for coming out stronger on the other side :)
fucking hell tejb... massive respect bro takes a man to do that good job buddy
holy shit Tejbz. So much respect for sharing, it's great to see you back to full strength, physically AND mentally.
You are a true inspiration. Hope others who have this terrible illness find comfort and strength from this.
Tejb, I work as an endoscopy tech and I deal with this type of thing every day. Stay strong my brother, you've done everyone such a great service by talking about this. I watched this video because it directly relates to what I do for a living, but I truly do appreciate you talking about this.
***** Hey man, I've been watching your videos for just over 5 years now, watching this was extremely hard, especially when you teared up! Man, you've touched so many lives just by doing what you do here on the internet, seeing you like that actually makes me upset.
I'm glad you're recovering and had some great people with you to get you through this!
You forever have my support
tejbz Virtual Bro Hug + Bro Fist. We love you man
Got diagnosed at 18 after about a year of issues. Still haven't really accepted it and definitely have ups and downs. Good to see you talking about it so publicly, really helps. Best wishes man.
Around 3 years ago, I got Ulcerøs Kolitt. I lost 16kg in 1 year and got underweight. I had to go through 3 operations. I had a stomi myself and I had an operation and got rid of it after a year. I still have some problems with my stomach, but its alot better.
I know the feeling man.
Total respect!
Before watching this video I didn't really knew what Crohns and a stoma where. I find it very brave that you talked so open about the subject. As you mentioned talking about problems with somebody gives a huge relief and makes you feel a lot better. I wish you all the best for 2014 and beyond and hope seeing you on youtube for a long time! You definitely have been an inspiration for me since you started this channel. So I just wanna say thanks for all!
I can't imagine what you have been through, but it will never break you! Very courageous to tell this. Much respect for you!
You have crohns?! I had no idea. I also have crohns, I'm 16 and have been diagnosed for 2 years. I don't have a stoma. And there are very few things I can eat that don't bother me. I get bad stomach aches and very loud stomach gurgles. I've had to miss a lot of school, which sucks, especially being in high school. It took me about 5 years to get diagnosed because of a family doctor who wouldn't send me to a specialist, and instead just kept giving me pills. Finally we got a new one and I went to a specialist and got diagnosed. Right now I'm on a pill ( can't remember the name), I take 2 a day at supper, and I have to take 1 pill in the morning to help with pain. I also take 2-4 Tylenol a day and 2-4 pepto bismol a day to help with pain. Along with 5 vitamins (since I can't eat or drink a whole lot). I've been lucky in the sense that I haven't had to have any surgeries yet, or had to do anything crazy like swallow a tube. I did have a scope done, that's how they found my crohns (I was asleep haha). The gurgles are probably the worst part of it, I've had to sit through so many classes with these loud stomach gurgles and it's so embarrassing. I can mask the pain, and deal with the pain, but there's no way to mask the gurgles. I also have bad anxiety, and as you know stress and anxiety will also contribute to pain. So basically I get pain, have to miss school for a couple days, then I freak out because I don't know what I missed and I have to catch up, which then contributes to more pain, which I then have to miss more school, and it's just a big cycle until eventually I just force myself to go to school through the pain. I've heard that stoma's are actually kind of good though, since you can eat and drink basically anything you want, compared to without you have to really watch what you eat. I really hope they find a cure for this, or at least a better way to deal with it. And I understand where you're coming from with the depression and awful thoughts about yourself, trust me. And now I'm crying, so I'm going to stop
+MrBlankscole dude man! Im sorry I replied so late. But I feel that you are strong person. And things will work out. Its great that you have a new doctor. And I believe that you are gonna get better! sometime soon!!
This is soooo crazy. I have a chronic stomach illness, and it's been keeping me from following my dreams (being a TH-camr). I'm definitely getting back into it now. Thank you so much.
Don't worry Tejbz. Its not the end of the world. I am crippled from the waist down so I had to get a stomach for urinating more efficiently. I have not regretted any of the surgeries I have had to get a stoma. Yea it's painful for a while after the surgeries, but it is well worth it. Don't get your hopes down. You can still have a normal, enjoyable life.
Having looked trough such stories over and over Stoma is always a challenge especially when you are having crohns problems as well, I think when I got my stoma with 14 it was kind of strange for me but ad well as a relief because I was incontinent before. Now I am turning 36 and its still some daily topic. Lifelong stoma its always a burden the only thing I wish you that you learn to deal with the hard days when stoma becomes a burden and you cannot deal with it anymore. So try to get yourself in a good shape.
I have so much respect for you bro. I was diagnosed with crohns at 12 years old and had a real tough time dealing with it as a kid. I have been getting remicade infusions for about 8 years and it has made a huge difference in my life. I have always had a fear that I may need a stoma some day. I had a colonoscopy done about a month ago and my crohns looks to still be in remission. You are incredibly strong and it is inspiring to see after everything that you have been through. Thanks for sharing your story man and I wish you the best in the future.
Tobias, du är en grym och legendarisk människa och hoppas att du känner dig som en för det ska du. Du är den bästa som finns. att du delar allt med oss som ser upp till dig och gör oss glada och på bra humör. Du förtjänar mera. Önskar dig det bästa i ditt liv och ett fantastisk 2014. Full respekt för dig TOBIAS.
Man, just wow. Seeing the channel grow, listening to your commentaries and just blown away by what you've been through.
Stor respekt för att du klarat av denna prossen så pass bra Tobias, och att du även kan dela med dig til dina följer, hoppas att allt e bra nu och fortsättter bra :)
Tack för att du berättade för oss!
Sjukt vad du har gått igenom och grymt starkt att du pratar om det nu, Respekt till dig Tobias. Du är verkligen en förebild! :)
The fact for years you kept a brave face and still were a cheerful guy, shows what kind of person you really are, stay strong Tejbzy!
Been subbed for 4 years and I can say that everyone here supports you and has a ton of respect for you. Just keep givin'er!
Hey, Tejb. Jeff here. I've been thinking of doing something like this on social media. I think you're an amazing person to reveal yourself like this in public. The greatest thing about social media is to bring people together and share a common ground. This will help a lot of people in so many different ways that you may have never been able to touch without making this video. I have a few friends who have crones and have had one who needed a colostomy bag. It sucks that you've had to go through something so traumatic. I am glad that you have had the chance to go through something that has given you the opportunity to become such a strong human being. Keep up the good work. You are never alone and thanks to you more people no know the same.
+Jeff Smith
And this is the reason why you are my fav TH-camr if there is such thing as this. Keep it up man.
Hey tejbs look after yourself. My little Bro went through same trauma and I understand how hard things were for u. Your a legend at games and so funny to listen to... keep up the good work!
Found this very interesting. My Dad had the same last year and explained it exactly the same as you. Unfortunately it caused him to pass away later on after the surgery, so you are very lucky to still be here!
I Have crohns too diagnosed in April and had surgery a week ago, totally agree on not trusting the doctors. I've been through so much shit and they just have no urgency whatsoever, they have not even given me any medication at all, not even a pain relief. I've needed emergency surgery since last November which is when i went to the doctors with 10/10 pain and a large lump and they dismissed it. I finally got the surgery a week ago! The surgeon on the other hand was wonderful i cannot thank her enough she got me in straight away as soon as the doctors decided i did need surgery which was about 3 weeks ago. I've lost so much weight, it's taken its toll on me mentally i don't go out the house now for longer than a couple hours, i used to go to work all day in an office job i really liked going to. I start my treatment on Tuesday so hopefully its on wards and upwards from here!
Crohns is fucking awful. Glad you are doing ok now!
Tejb, I've been watching your videos since I was a 16 year old kid playing call of duty, you have been such an inspiration for me, I went through a major stomach disease called H-Pylori, and even though it hurt when I laughed at your videos, you made me get through it. You helped me so much through those years and I probably will never get to thank you in person and I hope you do read this. As a fellow ginger, I just want you to know how much I appreciate all the time and effort you put into these videos, and I personally want to thank you for giving me a positive mindset throughout those few years.
Hey Tejbz. I watched this video, because one of my friends, who is following you here on youtube, told me about it. I can just tell you that I pretty much know how you feel. I too have Crohns and it totally sucks. I take like 10 pills a day, and get i.v. medication every 6 weeks, to not getting a stoma. Because if i would have a stoma it would be permanent, cause it's all over in my colon. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who got traumatized by the colon examination. The first time they did it to me, i got no drugs at all, no morphin, no mask. It was insanly painfull. 1 year later they had to make the same examination again, and i was so scared, i had to sit with my head between my legs to not faint. This time they gave me morphin and something to relax on, and told me that the first time was a mistake, and that the doctor got fired 2 months after my last visit. Anyways, I just want to say thumps up for taking it so well about the whole Stoma thing. It's really cool, and i hope that you will never be put in that situation again.
+Ida88simonsen dude thank you for this comment man!!
This video is super old but Tejbz... I love you. I used to watch you every night back in high school. Then I quit Call of Duty and went to college. I just came across this and it means so much to hear one of my favorite TH-cam stars talk so openly because I am also going through tough times, with extreme IBS, anxiety and panic attacks. So much of what you say is relatable. I am lucky I haven't had to endure what you did, and I applaud you so much for being so strong at such a young age. This is a powerful, bananacrazy video
Just look at the comments Tejb. Everyone respects what you've been through, you're both mentally and physically strong and this will no doubt be an inspiration to many people in the future. Stay strong bro! oh..and those biceps are coming along nice ;)
Been watching your videos for years Tejbz. Youre a legend. Sometimes we must endure the rain to appreciate the rainbow. Hold that head high and keep helping others. Man love always bro!
tejbz, still my favourite youtuber and a scoop of wisdom from years and years before..
Tejbz I have been watching your videos since i was 12 years old and im 16 now. I just wanted to tell you how much of an inspiration you are to me man. Thanks for posting all these years. You are truly a hero.
Damn man I feel ya, I have UC and had to have my colon taken out. And having a stoma is exactly how you said bro it totally sucks, completely depressing. But we are all here for ya man keep doing what you do.
You have no idea how much this speaks to me. Now, because of you, I will make a new channel and follow my dreams.
So much respect.
Fick ett rus av motivation och styrka av att kolla på denna video. Tack för att du delar med dig, du äre awesome och vi alla älskar dig!
Every great person in the world today has being through the shitty situations that life has dealt them, and come out the other side stronger than ever. Thank you for sharing your story bro great video.
so much respect. I dont know how to word this without sounding like a thug but this was the realest video i have ever watched
i agree, but "most genuine" maybe?
Tejbz måste säga att detta är bland det bästa jag hört på länge. Stay strong mannen, Hoppas allt går bra i framtiden för dig!
Much respect bro! I too have crohns and was diagnosed at 14. And to be honest I've gone through a lot of similar things that you've gone through. I'm 18 now. But I've learned a lot from crohns! At 14:00 min it was really touching to me also cause I too have gone through feeling the way you have felt. I feel the same way with doctors because of prior experiences! Since I've gone through lots of medicine, remicade is one and many more I don't remember names too. Right now I'm taking all natural pills that seem to be working better. But not excellent but that's the thing with crohns it seems like. I've been asked quite a bit of times by doctors if I want to have the surgery to have a bag but I've always just been scared. But after watching this and listening to your story it had honestly made me at least think about it and take it into consideration because I know it isn't going to be as bad as I thought it was going too be. Thank you tejbz! Thanks for sharing your crohns story not just now but for prior years! I've been subbed to you since I have 12 or 13 years old! Its nice having a role model share their crohns stories especially for people that have the disease and know what its like to live with this disease on a daily basis. So thank you. Means a lot!
I'm really glad you did this video Tejb, shows a lot of trust in your subscribers. I had never heard of Chrons disease before you started talking about it and it really helps to hear you talk about your experience and learn about it. Especially when going through any sort of hospital investigation. Thanks for sharing Tejbz!
Tejbz, i have the same thing as you but with my bladder. Its hard and the worst thing i remember is having to stay in hospital over christmas. Ive learnt to live with my stoma and still manage to have a great life. Sadly, the hospitals first try at the operation went wrong and i lost over half of my bodies blood, but i luckily survived. You always have to think on the positives, thanks for sticking around :)
Jag har varit med dig (Tejbz) sen din 9k subscribers video och detta var första gången jag såg dig vissa dina känslor.Alla skriver att du pratar om din sjukdom hela tiden men det är jävligt svårt att glömma någonting som har tagit upp så mycket tid utav ditt liv. RESPEKT!!!!
Massive respect for putting yourself out there like that
Starkt av dig att du har gått igenom detta!
Respekt till dig Tobias!, fortsätt göra grymma videos och hoppas att 2014 blir ett riktigt episkt år! :D
Nobody should go through what you have. You are really strong, go get that girl and make the best of your life. Life is not over, you have to give it your all. I have gasthiritis and i understand your pain to some degree. Pain can make you realize who you really are.
Can't imagine what you've been through, damn. I hope you get better, KRYA PÅ DIG! :D
Tejbz! MY BROTHER. I feel you so much. I have had crohns since I was 14. Im 18 now and my flare up honestly make me feel ready to die. I know what youre going through. It will never end. Its a rollercoaster ride of feelings. I lost 40 lbs as of writing this im in a flare up. Stay strong brother! All the crohnies got yo back! IBD Buddies? IBD Buddies
Its great you can tell us this kinda stuff. Its funny how your being serious telling about the disease and joking about it at the same time. Its a great way to look at things. Awesome.
Really glad that you made it through and you're feeling better about yourself now Tejbz, respect. I have pretty bad IBS (Which is now controlled very well by tablets) but I went through stages where it just destroyed my social life and shattered my confidence - and quite frankly, IBS is nothing compared to having Chrohns. It puts things in perspective a little.
I'm 17 and was diagnosed with crohns last year, and am feeling really good now. Medications really helps... Methotrexate is what I take. It sucks but it gets better. The stomach pains made me not able to function, and had to stop anything and everything till they passed, I have a colonoscopy too, it sucks , but it gets better! Good luck!
I never comment on TH-cam videos but as struggling 18 year old that has been in hellish pain for a week this video really helped me. You're awesome tejbz.
+ferginatorr no sir! you are awesome!
I can relate to you Tejbz, I was diagnosed with crohns @ 19 years old. It's definitely been a wild roller coaster ride. I've never had any surgeries and I can eat anything I want. I might be lucky but there are TONS of ways around fighting this disease and curing yourself besides taking meds everyday. I hope you see this message I have done a shitload of research and take all natural products to keep it in check.I'd love to talk to you about it if you're interested.
jag förstår dig helt när jag hade cancer jag var också tvungen att ha sond det var nog det jobbigaste av allt respekt till dig!
It's touching to hear what you've gone through and it made me realize even more what an amazing and strong person you are Tobias. It touched a lot to see you break toghetter like that and I hope you feel alright after the surgery,and everything else you've gone through. Keep it up man, you're a big inspiration to many including me. Hugs from Gothenburg.
Feel for you having to deal with this from such a young age, I have Crohns too and the pain when it was at it's worst was agony. Hope you are now well and truly on the mend and you can get on with your life.
thank you for opening up bro, its such a hard thing to do and takes so much balls, especially to broadcast it over the net, loved ya from the start man and always will, you have had a positive effect on my day and life and i thank you for it, to tha face!
Thanks for making this video tejbz and bringing awareness to crohns! It made me feel better knowing I'm not alone. I've had it for 13 years now and I'm currently trying to cure it
Wow. Så galet starkt att ta dig igenom det OCH berätta om det för hela världen, respekt till Tobias! Har också varit subbad i 5-6 år och det här var den bästa videon du gjort.
thx mate for explaining it. A friend of mine has it too, was always a bit too afraid to ask. Now I understand this desease more, thanks to you. I hope you'll be fully recovered once
Respekt tejbz. Du är en otrolig youtuber forsätt med dina videos !!
So much respect man! Keep strong and we are always here for you.
excellent story. Makes a man really look back at what he has. Glad you overcame it and looking daft as ever. Watched since the Mw2 days but never knew. Great video, Tejbz.
wow tejbz this is amazing, all the kids going through the same thing you are, they should look to you as a role model, by far the most inspirational thing i have ever seen on youtube. And congratulations on getting your stoma removed :)
My brother suffers from this. He had to have his bowel removed. He is still happy though. We in life have to keep moving forward no matter what : Respect bro. Hope u stay well
Respect tebjz .... Love your vids since the modern warfare days ! Keep your head up
Tobias! Började få tårar ungefär vid 14 minuter då du bara satt tyst. Jag har själv gått igenom mycket under det senaste vilket gjorde att jag kände som du, men denna videon kommer jag alltid komma ihåg och kommer tänka på denna när jag har problem igen! Under dessa 4 år så är detta fan det djupaste du berättat och du har förtjänat all min respekt!!
Fortsätt med episka videos!! :)
who does dislike this?? so disrespectful. Good video Tejbz
this video is deep tejbz. ive had crohns since i was 18. and gotta say it sucks, now that i know what stoma is... im so worried now. but watching this video and seeing what you went tho i know i can overcome it when my time comes for my own stoma. wish you the best. and keep your videos coming!
I've got colitis (similar to Crohn's) and a related condition called primary sclerosing cholangitis which affects my liver. I have to take medicine for both conditions every day. Luckily, I feel pretty good most days. Having a chronic condition really helps to put life in perspective. I cannot drink acohol anymore. Well, I could but I'd probably need a liver transplant within a few years. It helps you realize what matters in life and value the time and experiences you have. Good for you for sharing your experience so others know they aren't the only ones.
Hey Tejbz,
I just wanted to thank you for sharing your life story with us. It truly means a lot when you put yourself out there for everyone to see. You give everyone courage and strength to get through their toughest problems. I wish you the best of luck in life and I hope that you stay healthy. Keep on keepin' on! Much love comin your way.
Stay strong Tejbz !!!! I never knew you had such a big barrier in your life, but it still doesn't take anything away from how awesome you are :)
im glad i clicked. thanks for your story man. it was so real and helpful on many levels. it was a brave thing to put it all out there like that and i know its gonna benefit alot of people. the feels. the feels. you're awesome, Tebj, keep on that positivity!
For you to talk about this is inspirational.
All I have to say is RESPECT! You even made me cry a bit, im going to do a tweet about this and I will never complain on anyting again after this... Respect *****
You are really strong Tobias. Remember that we are always here to support you. Im really proud to be your friend.
Alot of respect to you man! I would never be able to have Chrohns. Don't feel sad, your fans love you no matter what!
just got a stoma at 16 and had ulcerative colitis since 14. really cool seeing someone who went through this at about the same age.
Respect to you Tejbz. Respect for being strong enough to talk about this on TH-cam.
Holy shit, I feel bad for you, man.
Massive respect to you, Tejbz. Good luck.
tejbz been watching you for so many years now, since way back and just wanted to say that youve done so much as a youtuber, made us laugh and made some amazing videos that inspired us and i just want to say thanks and that as fans we always have your back. wish you the best man and thank you for being such an awesome person
googlade på stoma, vad fan! Just nu vet jag inte riktigt vad det var men hur som hälst så måste du vart igenom riktigt mycket skit. Önskar här nu dig all lycka i värden och att du är/blir lycklig med allt som kommer härnest!
Tejb, even though you don't know me I truly feel like you're a friend. You make great entertaining videos that have made me smile a lot of times. I often watch videos of you when I am going through difficult times. I'm glad that things are getting better and I hope that these messages here will make you smile like you made me.
Keep it up!
Du är så otroligt inspirerande!! Att du tagit dig igenom allt detta och ändå så håller du fortfarande på med TH-cam och gör otroligt bra videos dessutom!
Fortsätt så tejbzy, vi stöttar dig!
Har alltid tyckt att stomi och allt det där verkar vara jobbigt till en helt ny extrem nivå! Krya Tejbz!
Had UC since I was 18.. was also on Remicade and that never worked. had the operation when i was 24 and i still have my stoma for almost a year now. man i can totally relate to what you went through. the worrying, the pain and just having the disease control your life. cant even remember what life was like before i was 18
Admire your brave story, and even when you are from Norrland you are alowed to cry! And I am glad to hear your friend stayed around! those are THE friends. The "friends" who stay around when you are healthy and happy.... they still havee to prove the be called FRIENDS!!!!
Respect bro, I feel for you man, there are so shitty lows, like my mum just got diagnosed with kidney cancer with secondary's in the lung, worst day of my life.
Respect for telling your story man! I hope it made you stronger and will get you through tough times in the future ;)!
