who else gets the vibes that shes actually a way bigger youtuber? idk the first time i stumbled on her channel it felt like she had several hundred thousand subs, the way she speaks sorta reminds me of Molly Burke. I promise shes gonna gain a huge amount of subs. also congrats on the baby shes beautiful :>
Well shoot... if this isn't the most amazing compliment I've ever gotten, I don't know what is! Thanks! (PS, I was actually watching Molly when you posted. I love her 😛)
My best friends dog always alerted me. If I was at her home, he came over to me and wouldn't leave me, it only happened like that when I had a migraine coming. The strangest part was he was never very attentive to me unless I was going into a migraine. The first time he alerted, he stood staring at my face right in front of me. It was oddly comforting.
My roommate's esa dog does the same to me, she can tell when I'm lightheaded (I rarely faint but I'm often close to it) and always wants me to come sit down with her and wait it out. They get so worried, I love dogs.
My sister and I were both competitive gymnasts too! She would have very weird falls off of bars, and everyone was getting very frustrated because no one could figure out what was going on. We finally got her in to see a doctor for circulatory issues and they discovered that she was actually blacking out mid-routine due to undiagnosed POTS! It's so interesting that doing gymnastics gave us clues to hidden medical issues that would have otherwise been missed until a serious emergency
That's so crazy! Hope she never got hurt from it! I actually had a really hard time on bars, it was my worst event. I certainly wasn't passing out, but you have me curious whether my early orthostatic problems had anything to do with it.
@@MommingwithMigraine She never got seriously hurt, but there were several falls that we wish we got on camera because she just peeled straight off the bar and went flying 😅 I HATED bars, but oddly enough it was my sisters favorite event lol. It’s so interesting because as a coach I had suspicions about things going on with the kids before they or their parents did. I really think flipping around like that can make certain symptoms VERY clear much faster
I love how positive you are I am autistic and have terrible panic attacks around people and been told I should get a service dog but I look really normal and just didn’t want people to judge me or treat me differently watching you makes me happy to see it’s still possible to be accepted even with a service dog so thank you ❤️
A lot of these answers were a long time coming... I'm sorry to keep you guys hanging! Any other questions you're just DYING to have answered? Reply to this comment! Answering the top 3: 1) We are keeping her name private (for now anyway). 2) Buddy absolutely LOVES her. 3) There are no "Migraine Jen Rules" for the baby... for safety, if I'm at the point where I need rules, I shouldn't be the one on baby duty! If you don't know about the rules, they're here: th-cam.com/video/uZLTQkQyqew/w-d-xo.html
Thank you! No (or not yet?). I haven't been having very bad migraines, but since my husband works from home, he'll likely be the one with baby if Migraine Jen makes an appearance. With another life involved, it's not worth introducing any risk.
I have chronic migraines too, and I have done the newborn thing three times. When my babies were tiny, I used to check in by text with someone every 20 or 30 minutes. It made me feel like someone keeping an eye on us. It wasn't always the same person, sometimes it would be a friend or my husband or my mom. Also, my migraines were less severe while I was breastfeeding?
She is precious! I really appreciate your videos. As a disabled person, I agree with you on the fact that you would much rather be working than disabled. I was 25 when I injured my back and could no longer work. I will be 65 next October. I still hate being disabled. I had 7 back surgeries and finally had to say, "no more".
I got diagnosed with migraines in October this year after having "headaches" (for a lack of a better word, since I never have had visual auras and that was in my world what made you qualify for a migraine diagnosis) for over a year. I have since gotten a lot of dizzy spells and 3 weeks ago something just clicked for me when I found your channel and learned that auras come in many different types. Thank you and I'm excited to see your future growth on TH-cam 😊❤
I’m sixteen at the moment but from a super young age I would get really bad “headaches” and nauseous and typically throw up like almost every other weekend. It wasn’t until I got it middle school and had an aura that it clicked that I had been having migraines. They’ve lessened as I’ve gotten older but I typically still have at least two a year with aura and nausea... last time it lasted for two days and I threw up everything those whole two days. Apparently they run in my family, but no one except me has aura with theirs. My mom, dad, grandma, and grandpa all have them... my bro does not bc he’s like perfect 😂 but I love him anyway and really hope he never has to deal with them
I have recently started my orientation to become a volunteer Service Dog raiser in my community, the program is specifically for those with PTSD - though they often have additional disabilities necessitating a dog. I appreciate the non-toxic to sharing your service dog handler experiences, while still being honest and advocating for accessibility.
Have watched a couple of your videos so far and I really just want to thank you for putting yourself in the ring as a more positive SD handler. I've been looking into a possible SD for myself and it was a real disappointment to find some of these very off-putting people as I don't want to model after that kind of behaviour. Your perspective has been refreshing. I also didn't know migraines could present like yours so thank you for the eye opener.
@@MommingwithMigraine that is so beautiful to see. Sending you and your family so much love. I have suffered from episodic migraines my whole life and they have been getting worse in my 30's. You have given me so much knowledge and have truly helped me. I know we have never met, but i just wanted to let you know that what you are doing is helpful to so many people. Thank you.
I must say, as somebody who has gotten headaches at an ever increasing frequency and intensity since I was 7, I found this video and your channel amazing. That bit about twisting vertigo, vestibular system, being off was very educational, as I have just now learned about it thanks to you. I don't get migraines as bad as you, or as frequently, but I also never got sick from one until about 5 years ago, and now it's such that I know it's a possibility with each migraine if I don't treat it soon enough. 27 and still trying to figure this out, but at least for now I've got time, and for now, getting sick is as bad as it's gotten. Love your channel, keep up the great work, and I'm definitely looking into the vertigo. Also, I completely understand what you mean about "feeling off" before a migraine. I know within an hour of waking up that day if I'll have one later that day.
Nice! Sorry you're going through it but hopefully you will get some answers now! Next week I'm posting a vestibular therapy video. You may find it helpful 🤞👍
Best day ever was when my neurologist almost immediately explained my stroke like frightening experiences that appeared while pregnant were rare hemiplegic migraines. For about a month before the stroke like symptoms occurred it felt like fire was running up my body from my toes all the up to my head...it was abosutely horrible. I have lived with chronic migraines 75% of the time for 25 years...it is absolutely exhausting. Now we run a 24/7/365 business with 20+ employees, have five little girls between the ages of 3 - 10 and are starting our seventh year of homeschool. I haven't had the luxury of not keeping going with life. We have no family or friends to help with childcare and I had to work full time through all but the last 11 years. Thankfully I have been remotely working from home for the last four years about 90% of the time...and it doesn't hurt that my boss is also my husband🙃
Oh my goodness I've never come across someone who had the same migraines as me. Though my hematologic migraines are not the only ones I get they are the most frightening I had my first one when I was 23 at least the first one I know of for sure we went straight to the hospital when the whole left side of my body was numb and I had facial drooping that was the day I was finally diagnosed but it was terrifying for 24 hours I couldn't move the whole left side of my face I did have one two years ago that the effects of the migraine lasted much longer it was probably at least a week and a half before I got a full movement of my left hand back. I was in the hospital for several days.
@@rhemarambo6782 oh wow...I am so glad you were diagnosed so quickly. We had several variables in my situation - I was pregnant, I had just had two wisdom teeth pulled in an emergency appointment that broke while pregnant and my father had just passed away so there was a lot of stress in that moment. Mine didn't present outwardly as long as yours...that must have been terrifying. Our hardest part was the unknown. I had never heard of anyone else either. It is extremely rare from what my neurologist told me.
@@servantwarrior880 yes I am glad for the quick diagnostics. That sounded like a horribly stressful time in your life. It was just the start of rare issues for me. I also have ibs, and was diagnosed with a mast cell disorder called mastotcytosis and pots all before I even hit 28
@@rhemarambo6782 my...that is a lot to deal with I am sure. Yes...that year was rough and it got worse unfortunately. Lots of stress. I am incredibly thankful I haven't had a recurrence of those stroke like symptoms. That was the most frightening thing I have ever experienced.
17:57 Ah same! I’m on propanol for my migraines and tachycardia! Also, don’t worry about talking to much, because we watch your videos to learn! We are interested! We can always fast forward if we aren’t!!
It‘s wayyy too late to be up (almost 12pm in Germany) and I wanted to go to sleep, but then there was this video and I could absolutely not wait until tomorrow to watch it. You look fab, I‘m glad you‘re good such a short time after giving birth. Best wishes from Germany and happy new year to your little family! :)
I'm flattered!! I am having some times where I feel great, but don't be too fooled... I'm definitely still doing a lot of healing and mostly on rest (stitches). Go to sleep!! Good night!
Personally the over explaining is great cause it feels like you are chatting with friends! Your girl is so dang sweet and I know you’ll be a great mom! Congrats and take care of yourself!!
I got abdominal migraines! I remember being about 3 or so and telling my mum that I had a really bad headache in my tummy 😅❤ she put me to bed in a dark room with a hot water bottle and gave me some kid strength paracetamol. She read a lot about migraine presentation and research so she knew what was up. Love my mum.
I've had episodic migraines since I was 6. Out of my 7 siblings 5 have migraines of one sort or another. Intresting that you eat tomatoes, coffee and chocolate as they are 3 of our main triggers.
I've had episodic migraines since I was in my twenties. None of the foods that are often problematic ever affected me. Just foods with additives like MSG, Nitrites, or extremely high levels of sodium(like Cambells soup had before they reduced it). Also, oil based paints and gas leaks can also trigger Migraines. I guess we're all different
Oh she is beautiful!!!!!!!! The baby is cute too ;) Goodness, way to make a person broody! She (wee one) reminds me so much of my daughter when she was just born, pointy head, constant rooting and everything. Congratulations and you're just amazing, with an amazing husband and service dog!
You are officially my favorite person. When asked about favorite beverages the first thing that came out of your mouth was, "chocolate milk." Lol. I'm a chocomilk fiend!!! Not many adults are first to list this as among their favorite beverages, so kudos to you, ma'am!
Are you sure you aren't my blonde sibling? We both have chronic migraines, married martial artists, LOVE tomatoes, adore coffee and tea, and I really want a service dog to alert for my migraines too. I am so glad I found you and your channel!
So distracted by that beautiful little angel, I might miss most of the answers ❤️😍😍 *ahhh I spoke to soon! She's SO beautiful btw. Lots of love for your whole family ❤️
Motherhood is beautiful and hard at the same time, and as someone who has both POTS and chronic Migraines, I entirely empathize. I want to assure you you can absolutely do everything! I was in remission after birth somehow and lasted as long as I breastfed. To be honest the best part of my life!!!
Aw, congrats on the December baby! I feel a kinship with December moms because I'm one lol. My daughter just turned 10 this past December. I lucked out with a very early December bday with her though because she was actually due on Thanksgiving 2010, which I was very relieved she did not live up to. I just ran across this channel today for no reason other than I follow Molly Burke and some other disabled youtubers and watch a lot of medical/disability videos just because it's an interest of mine. But I love little newborn babies too!
Literally the first time I've heard anyone, other than one neurologist, mention abdominal migraine. Nausea and vomiting has always been the worst part of my migraine. Felt validated. Thanks.
@@MommingwithMigraine Not spinning. Just feel like I have the flu, achy, nauseous. I'm lucky, my headache is well managed by triptans and now I'm on Amovig, which has cut my monthly migraine from 15/month to 1 or 2/month. Again, thanks for your channel, I'm sure it's helping so many of us :-)
Excellent Q & A Jen! So it looks like your little girl is already a daddy's girl?😅 I'm glad you took the time to reinforce that it's NOT diffabled it is simply disabled. Yes there is a deficit and we proudly own it and deal with it. Glad to see your year end on a positive note seeing as though 2020 for the most part (let's not lie) was pretty crappy. I had a question that I just can't remember right now, should've typed it first then the whole paragraph surrounding it, so if that train comes back to the station I will ask it under your pinned comment.
You are absolutely 100% about other service dog handlers are being mean. I could not believe how rude and mean they could be. Thats why I love watching you, you are none of those things
Thanks so much for answering all those questions👍🏻 I find it pretty interesting, that you said, that you accepted your disability, but also still hoping that it’s going to get better in the future. That is exactly what I did, but often people don’t understand it, and think that I gave up. But I think sometimes healthy people don’t understand that accepting your disability, helps to live your daily life and try to do the best of the current situation😊 I have a Chronic neurological pain disorder, so I’m using a wheelchair. I also have a service dog 🐕🦺, Cooper (2), he is still in training. Because I’m living in Germany, the system for getting a service dog is quite different. First of all, you got two options: you can get your dog around age three, trained at a facility. This is really expensive and only guide dogs are covert by your insurance company (25.000€-....€). Your second option is, to owner train with the help of a certified service dog trainer. This is much cheaper (5.000€- 10.000€) and you and your dog can start to build a relationship right from the beginning, with 8 weeks. That’s the method me and my husband chose. With an age of around 3 years, you can get your dog certified, for that you have to pass a test, then you get the registration for your dog and now your able to access every public place. Before you had to asked the owner of the shop or whoever is responsible for that place, to allow you to access 😏 I think that isn’t a great rule, because it’s difficult to train those scenarios, if you can’t get into them 🤔 so I often train at a pets store and a gas station( the owner loves Cooper, so we can train there, with all the sweets right at his nose 😀 Wishing you and your little family a happy new year 🎊 🥂 Katy 🐕🦺👩🏻🦽
I love your channel so much! Like a lot of other people, you help me understand what soooo many of symptoms are. And that they are migraine symptoms. Also after your POTS video, I learned my heart goes crazy when I stand! So I am going to a cardiologist soon to talk about POTS. You've helped me understand whats happening in my body, and that even if its not ideal, its ok. Just thanks so much for such a positive channel to turn to.
thank you for your channel i just found it and i have migraines also and am learning new things from you about them. I didn't know dogs could help with them so thank you for the info about migraines. keep up the good work and teaching us about them.
I used to get about 1-2 migraines a year as a kid/teenager. I always saw that flimmery vision when they started, like the old TVs used to have when the connection was gone. I would get massive headaches after that. Part of my arm and mouth would often go numb too - it was such a weird feeling. After 1-3 days of sleeping and resting they would be gone again. Luckily I grew out of them and haven't had one for about 10 years now. Most of my migraines were usually induced by some sort of stress or sleep deprivation.
Wait. Competitive gymnastics?! Is there anything you haven’t done girl?! I’d love to hear a bit more about your experience doing that. I was a gymnast but never really competed. I love that when you talk about twisting, you automatically pull your arms to your chest! Some things a gymnast never looses
LOTS of things I haven't done, but I have done an oddly diverse range of sports. It's strange that gymnastics hasn't come up until now, because it was the biggest part of my life for pretty much my whole life 😊 What are you curious to know?
I’d love to know your experience with it. What it was like to be in a competitive environment at a young age, favorite skills, things it taught you that have helped you in life (like it taught me to never give up just because something is hard in the moment, doesn’t mean you’ll never get it), just the whole experience. I’m fascinated by competitive gymnastics!
Thank you! Love learning more about migraines. It is good to learn more about what people go through. I have migraines but nothing like what most people have so I thought I did not have them. This has opened my eyes to different types.
I’ve had migraines since I was five and they have morphed through the years. It’s been interesting hearing from someone else who has similar things/symptoms happen to them. I’ve spent nearly 30 years being dismissed because it’s just migraines.
Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl! My girl was a sunny side up too, but that was 22 years ago! As a fellow migraineur, I definitely appreciate the intention of your channel. Your presentation is excellent and like another commenter said, I can see you quickly gaining subscribers and video popularity. ❤️❤️
I have sunscribed to you and only just got round to watching this video (been in a alot of pain) but I just wanted to say how much I admire you and how sweet your daughter is!!! Your strength gives me strength 💪 Please give sweet girl and buddy a cuddle for me ☺️🧡
Congratulations on your BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL!!!!!!! I have a question, do you have any migraine triggers? Mine usually come out of nowhere except when I’m listening to the radio a certain singer comes on and then boom I have a migraine. I know it’s weird but it happens every time. I have to change the station when I hear it.
Congratulations on your new little princess, she is beautiful and thank you for sharing your birth story. You are a very strong young woman and I wish you and your family best wishes.
I'm a grateful you made a channel. Not only because of your content is exactly what I need but I have to agree other youtubers with service dogs (the ones I've seen) are not very good influences! The ones I've come across are so freaking nasty and mean. They act like everyone is out to get them. Or that people are being deliberately disrespectful. I have chronic illness, I am an invisible illness warrior. I've had brain surgery and am facing another... My family doesn't understand to the point that they are very uncompassionate... I also have a son with autism. But I don't treat people like crap because they don't understand. When someone gave my son a dirty look I would be hurt, obviously, but would also take the moment to tell them that he is autistic. I didn't treat them like crap. I have felt a certain way around poorly behaved children too, so I sympathize and try to understand and just hope others do the same. Anyways.. that was a lot. I love your channel! Haha
I appreciate that so much! I'm sorry you go through it too 😔 I was nervous to say I didn't like the negativity in the SD community so I am glad you all are in agreement.
I’m so glad I found your channel. I don’t suffer from anything that your channel is about, but I love learning! I also love the type of personality you have. Congrats on your baby girl! She’s beautiful! My son will be 8 months on the 3rd and boy do they call the shots! I can’t wait for the birth video next week and Happy New Year! 😊
Oh your baby girl looks beautiful! Thank you so much for doing this. You truly are an inspiration! Love your channel please keep it up thank you so much for answering all these questions. You are so kind hearted it is very touching.
You don’t have to say anything just keep being you! I had a very hard time when my son was born and I understand how rough things can be. Hang in there you’re going to do great!
I just want to thank you so much for your videos since I have been about 13 I've been having terrible migraines with aura. The last two years they have gotten so bad I feel like I might faint sometimes. My doctors don't seem to know what is wrong
I just started the video, so maybe you'll answer it, but our biggest concerns with having kids is that I dont know how we would handle it with my migraines. If I'd be able to take meds to exist, because I wouldn't be able to stop working since I apparently don't qualify for disability. I also only can work part time as I need flexibility to avoid vomiting at work as much as I can.
Look for a lawyer who specializes in disability . They will often take a case where if they / you lose you owe them nothing, but if they win they get a big chunk of your settlement. I helped a neighbor get disability. Called a "Head Injury Association" listed in phone book and they recommended a lawyer. Fred got his disability status!
@@veralenora7368 thanks! I'm ablebto make it through, its just a bit rougher than it needs to be lol I honestly at this point dont think I would deserve it since there are so many folks who have it so much worse that are struggling to qualify. I would still love to have a child one day, but I haven't found a doctor I can trust that does try and attribute any of my issues to my lifestyle or diet.
In high school I thought mine were just bad headaches but maybe they were migraines? Maybe once a month I would get those weird head throb - not like headache but like you had a really bad fever. Every step I took made me feel like 100 pound weight was going through my skull into my spine. I would have to lean on walls to get from bathroom to bed. I was sooo dizy. I thought this was just normal for headaches but after listening to you maybe not 🤷🏻♀️ Congrats on the baby! She's adorable
Congratulations with your little girl. I had migrains from 12 year till about 28. The funny thing was that it was after my second son was born the migrains be came less untill they were gone. I am now in my late 40 and only gets headaches. My vision was also the first sign of migrains.
Most people retire there dogs at 2 years before there lifespan. So he's life span is 10 to 12 so I would go down the middle with 11 for lifespan and retire at 9 if there's no health issues. However some dogs can't be retired because they love to work so much that when they are taken out of it they get depressed. So when he gets to the age of considering retirement you will have to figure out if he's the type to retire or work till the end.
Did you select your breeder and your puppy specifically to have a super calm, super trainable companion, or did you just pick a Golden breeder in general knowing those are typical breed characteristics? And did you have to wait long for the right puppy?
Did buddy just start alerting on his own? Is that something that some dogs just do or did you do light training to see if it would work and he picked it up really fast. That is super interesting. Also you little girl is so cute! Congratulations!
Thank you! He did start alerting on his own. I left his migraine alert as he did it naturally, but had to shape his fainting alert because it wasn't practical (he was gently licking my pant leg at first - not obvious enough - so we taught him to Nudge).
Congratulations on the baby! Side note....I was watching another channel and Jen you have a doppelganger.... Look up on TH-cam "Bone Detectives" S1 Ep1 on a channel called "History Documentary Nerds". You'll know which lady when you see her. I think you should show it to your husband and see if he can notice her. Just though I would share... again congratulations hope all is well!
I was about 10 or 11 when i started getting migraines, each one would make me nauseous and vomit, I'd often wake up at 1am with a migraine, regular painkillers would not touch it. I would be "out of action" for atleast 12 hrs. I started on Propranolol a very low dose like 10mg twice a day or something a few years after. Now I'm 19 I've been on and off the Propranolol over the years but my migraines now don't crop up as often and don't often make me vomit anymore. Now i can typically sleep them off or just deal with the dull pain. However i do think i have POTS symptoms:/ A few years back i had a scary migraine with aura while i was working as a waitress. I'd never had it before and was scared, i thought i was having a stroke. I went numb down one side, couldn't see out of one eye. I couldn't talk properly but could process the words in my head...yet i kept working and serving food. Luckily i haven't had that experience since... I avoid a lot of foods such as artificial sweeteners in candy and drinks. Lindt chocolate triggers it, cheese triggers it, fruit juices and more. :(
Ahhhh!!! That last one was my question!! Yayyyyy❤️❤️ I have pots and been thinking about getting a dog and training it. I’m only 17 but I’m moving out (hopefully) in a few months but I’m not really independent like going to the store or something is really scary.
I get lots of weird symptoms too. I have vestibular migraine too so my balance is affected occasionally. Strange sensations, over-stimulated by noise, smells, light, sounds, movement. Fortunately when they became chronic I was no longer working
who else gets the vibes that shes actually a way bigger youtuber? idk the first time i stumbled on her channel it felt like she had several hundred thousand subs, the way she speaks sorta reminds me of Molly Burke. I promise shes gonna gain a huge amount of subs.

Right!? That’s why I said in my comment that I love her personality!
I thought exactly the same thing! Her videos are always very well presented and she has a lovely manner :)
Exactly
I agree, Maja. And accoring to her channel info she made the channel 15 january 2020 so 18k subs in almost a year is actually really good!
My best friends dog always alerted me. If I was at her home, he came over to me and wouldn't leave me, it only happened like that when I had a migraine coming.

A lot of these answers were a long time coming... I'm sorry to keep you guys hanging! Any other questions you're just DYING to have answered? Reply to this comment!
Answering the top 3:
1) We are keeping her name private (for now anyway).
2) Buddy absolutely LOVES her.
3) There are no "Migraine Jen Rules" for the baby... for safety, if I'm at the point where I need rules, I shouldn't be the one on baby duty! If you don't know about the rules, they're here: th-cam.com/video/uZLTQkQyqew/w-d-xo.html
What is baby girls name? Is there a story behind it?
What was your job as a biochemist like?
What is her name?
I know alot of people are asking but i also would like to know your daughters name...its ok if you want to keep that privet!
If your baby has a migraine coming will buddy alert her?
She is sooo cute.
Does migraine Jen have rules for taking care of your little girl like she does for cooking??
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Thank you! No (or not yet?). I haven't been having very bad migraines, but since my husband works from home, he'll likely be the one with baby if Migraine Jen makes an appearance. With another life involved, it's not worth introducing any risk.
@@MommingwithMigraine I am so glad that you have not had very bad migraines
I have chronic migraines too, and I have done the newborn thing three times.
When my babies were tiny, I used to check in by text with someone every 20 or 30 minutes. It made me feel like someone keeping an eye on us. It wasn't always the same person, sometimes it would be a friend or my husband or my mom.
Also, my migraines were less severe while I was breastfeeding?
She is precious! I really appreciate your videos. As a disabled person, I agree with you on the fact that you would much rather be working than disabled. I was 25 when I injured my back and could no longer work. I will be 65 next October. I still hate being disabled. I had 7 back surgeries and finally had to say, "no more".
I got diagnosed with migraines in October this year after having "headaches" (for a lack of a better word, since I never have had visual auras and that was in my world what made you qualify for a migraine diagnosis) for over a year. I have since gotten a lot of dizzy spells and 3 weeks ago something just clicked for me when I found your channel and learned that auras come in many different types. Thank you and I'm excited to see your future growth on TH-cam 😊❤
Welcome, I'm so happy my channel helped you! I love to hear it!
I’m sixteen at the moment but from a super young age I would get really bad “headaches” and nauseous and typically throw up like almost every other weekend. It wasn’t until I got it middle school and had an aura that it clicked that I had been having migraines. They’ve lessened as I’ve gotten older but I typically still have at least two a year with aura and nausea... last time it lasted for two days and I threw up everything those whole two days. Apparently they run in my family, but no one except me has aura with theirs. My mom, dad, grandma, and grandpa all have them... my bro does not bc he’s like perfect 😂 but I love him anyway and really hope he never has to deal with them
I think the over explaining honestly is why we are all here. We don’t know and we want to. So over explain away!
That's such a relief. Thank you
I have recently started my orientation to become a volunteer Service Dog raiser in my community, the program is specifically for those with PTSD - though they often have additional disabilities necessitating a dog. I appreciate the non-toxic to sharing your service dog handler experiences, while still being honest and advocating for accessibility.
Have watched a couple of your videos so far and I really just want to thank you for putting yourself in the ring as a more positive SD handler. I've been looking into a possible SD for myself and it was a real disappointment to find some of these very off-putting people as I don't want to model after that kind of behaviour. Your perspective has been refreshing.
I also didn't know migraines could present like yours so thank you for the eye opener.
I appreciate that! Thank you =)
You look so happy! Being a mommy makes you light up and it is so beautiful to see.
Thank you! I am! Truly feels like my calling to love this girl.
@@MommingwithMigraine that is so beautiful to see. Sending you and your family so much love. I have suffered from episodic migraines my whole life and they have been getting worse in my 30's. You have given me so much knowledge and have truly helped me. I know we have never met, but i just wanted to let you know that what you are doing is helpful to so many people. Thank you.
I must say, as somebody who has gotten headaches at an ever increasing frequency and intensity since I was 7, I found this video and your channel amazing. That bit about twisting vertigo, vestibular system, being off was very educational, as I have just now learned about it thanks to you. I don't get migraines as bad as you, or as frequently, but I also never got sick from one until about 5 years ago, and now it's such that I know it's a possibility with each migraine if I don't treat it soon enough. 27 and still trying to figure this out, but at least for now I've got time, and for now, getting sick is as bad as it's gotten. Love your channel, keep up the great work, and I'm definitely looking into the vertigo. Also, I completely understand what you mean about "feeling off" before a migraine. I know within an hour of waking up that day if I'll have one later that day.
Nice! Sorry you're going through it but hopefully you will get some answers now! Next week I'm posting a vestibular therapy video. You may find it helpful 🤞👍
@@MommingwithMigraine I'm looking forward to it. You always do a great job.
Best day ever was when my neurologist almost immediately explained my stroke like frightening experiences that appeared while pregnant were rare hemiplegic migraines. For about a month before the stroke like symptoms occurred it felt like fire was running up my body from my toes all the up to my head...it was abosutely horrible. I have lived with chronic migraines 75% of the time for 25 years...it is absolutely exhausting. Now we run a 24/7/365 business with 20+ employees, have five little girls between the ages of 3 - 10 and are starting our seventh year of homeschool. I haven't had the luxury of not keeping going with life. We have no family or friends to help with childcare and I had to work full time through all but the last 11 years. Thankfully I have been remotely working from home for the last four years about 90% of the time...and it doesn't hurt that my boss is also my husband🙃
YOU ARE A CHAMPION. Thank you. What an inspiration!! And what an incredible neurologist!
Oh my goodness I've never come across someone who had the same migraines as me. Though my hematologic migraines are not the only ones I get they are the most frightening I had my first one when I was 23 at least the first one I know of for sure we went straight to the hospital when the whole left side of my body was numb and I had facial drooping that was the day I was finally diagnosed but it was terrifying for 24 hours I couldn't move the whole left side of my face I did have one two years ago that the effects of the migraine lasted much longer it was probably at least a week and a half before I got a full movement of my left hand back. I was in the hospital for several days.
@@rhemarambo6782 oh wow...I am so glad you were diagnosed so quickly. We had several variables in my situation - I was pregnant, I had just had two wisdom teeth pulled in an emergency appointment that broke while pregnant and my father had just passed away so there was a lot of stress in that moment. Mine didn't present outwardly as long as yours...that must have been terrifying. Our hardest part was the unknown. I had never heard of anyone else either. It is extremely rare from what my neurologist told me.
@@servantwarrior880 yes I am glad for the quick diagnostics. That sounded like a horribly stressful time in your life. It was just the start of rare issues for me. I also have ibs, and was diagnosed with a mast cell disorder called mastotcytosis and pots all before I even hit 28
@@rhemarambo6782 my...that is a lot to deal with I am sure.
Yes...that year was rough and it got worse unfortunately. Lots of stress.
I am incredibly thankful I haven't had a recurrence of those stroke like symptoms. That was the most frightening thing I have ever experienced.
17:57 Ah same! I’m on propanol for my migraines and tachycardia!
Also, don’t worry about talking to much, because we watch your videos to learn! We are interested! We can always fast forward if we aren’t!!
Thanks for that! I'm starting to leave more babbling in. Y'all are the best.
I'm at a lost for words right now. When seeing your precious baby and hearing the interaction between you and your daughter. I cried tears!!!
I appreciate it. She's such a good baby, and I feel like I'm already "getting" her 💜
It‘s wayyy too late to be up (almost 12pm in Germany) and I wanted to go to sleep, but then there was this video and I could absolutely not wait until tomorrow to watch it. You look fab, I‘m glad you‘re good such a short time after giving birth. Best wishes from Germany and happy new year to your little family! :)
I'm flattered!! I am having some times where I feel great, but don't be too fooled... I'm definitely still doing a lot of healing and mostly on rest (stitches). Go to sleep!! Good night!
Happy new year from germany as well! :)
Thank you so much for making me feel so less alone, you are a beacon In the darkness. I will always be grateful.
Personally the over explaining is great cause it feels like you are chatting with friends! Your girl is so dang sweet and I know you’ll be a great mom! Congrats and take care of yourself!!
That seems to be the consensus and I am ALL ABOUT IT. You get more info and it's much easier on my end 👍
And the memory! I thought I was just getting old before my time. My migraine really affects my memory.
Migraine, the gift that keeps on giving
The memory is AWFUL. I'm so sorry you deal with that. It's all kinds of problematic.
I got abdominal migraines! I remember being about 3 or so and telling my mum that I had a really bad headache in my tummy 😅❤ she put me to bed in a dark room with a hot water bottle and gave me some kid strength paracetamol. She read a lot about migraine presentation and research so she knew what was up. Love my mum.
I've had episodic migraines since I was 6. Out of my 7 siblings 5 have migraines of one sort or another. Intresting that you eat tomatoes, coffee and chocolate as they are 3 of our main triggers.
I've had episodic migraines since I was in my twenties. None of the foods that are often problematic ever affected me.
Just foods with additives like MSG, Nitrites, or extremely high levels of sodium(like Cambells soup had before they reduced it).
Also, oil based paints and gas leaks can also trigger Migraines. I guess we're all different
Oh she is beautiful!!!!!!!! The baby is cute too ;) Goodness, way to make a person broody! She (wee one) reminds me so much of my daughter when she was just born, pointy head, constant rooting and everything. Congratulations and you're just amazing, with an amazing husband and service dog!
You are officially my favorite person. When asked about favorite beverages the first thing that came out of your mouth was, "chocolate milk." Lol. I'm a chocomilk fiend!!! Not many adults are first to list this as among their favorite beverages, so kudos to you, ma'am!
I know whats up 😋😘
Are you sure you aren't my blonde sibling? We both have chronic migraines, married martial artists, LOVE tomatoes, adore coffee and tea, and I really want a service dog to alert for my migraines too. I am so glad I found you and your channel!
So distracted by that beautiful little angel, I might miss most of the answers ❤️😍😍 *ahhh I spoke to soon! She's SO beautiful btw. Lots of love for your whole family ❤️
Motherhood is beautiful and hard at the same time, and as someone who has both POTS and chronic Migraines, I entirely empathize. I want to assure you you can absolutely do everything! I was in remission after birth somehow and lasted as long as I breastfed. To be honest the best part of my life!!!
Id love to see a collab with you and Mamma Doctor Jones!
I haven't heard of her!
This! I’ve been thinking this since you announced your pregnancy. It would be such an interesting collaboration!
@@krystal2717 I'll have to check out the channel!
Or Dr Mike!
@@MommingwithMigraine mama dr Jones is AMAZING you will love her videos!
Omg, baby girl is here already. Congratulations!!
Yes! Thank you!!!
@@MommingwithMigraine, You're welcome! I started following you on Instagram and I messaged you on there. Darcy Louison is my name on there lol
Aw, congrats on the December baby! I feel a kinship with December moms because I'm one lol. My daughter just turned 10 this past December. I lucked out with a very early December bday with her though because she was actually due on Thanksgiving 2010, which I was very relieved she did not live up to. I just ran across this channel today for no reason other than I follow Molly Burke and some other disabled youtubers and watch a lot of medical/disability videos just because it's an interest of mine. But I love little newborn babies too!
Literally the first time I've heard anyone, other than one neurologist, mention abdominal migraine. Nausea and vomiting has always been the worst part of my migraine. Felt validated. Thanks.
My goodness. A huge reason I waned to start the channel! If your nausea is due to spinning, it could be vestibular migraine.
@@MommingwithMigraine Not spinning. Just feel like I have the flu, achy, nauseous. I'm lucky, my headache is well managed by triptans and now I'm on Amovig, which has cut my monthly migraine from 15/month to 1 or 2/month. Again, thanks for your channel, I'm sure it's helping so many of us :-)
Excellent Q & A Jen! So it looks like your little girl is already a daddy's girl?😅 I'm glad you took the time to reinforce that it's NOT diffabled it is simply disabled. Yes there is a deficit and we proudly own it and deal with it. Glad to see your year end on a positive note seeing as though 2020 for the most part (let's not lie) was pretty crappy. I had a question that I just can't remember right now, should've typed it first then the whole paragraph surrounding it, so if that train comes back to the station I will ask it under your pinned comment.
You are absolutely 100% about other service dog handlers are being mean.
I could not believe how rude and mean they could be.
Thats why I love watching you, you are none of those things
Nobody's perfect, it's easy to get frustrated by the public, but I certainly do my best and appreciate that it shows!
Thanks so much for answering all those questions👍🏻 I find it pretty interesting, that you said, that you accepted your disability, but also still hoping that it’s going to get better in the future. That is exactly what I did, but often people don’t understand it, and think that I gave up. But I think sometimes healthy people don’t understand that accepting your disability, helps to live your daily life and try to do the best of the current situation😊 I have a Chronic neurological pain disorder, so I’m using a wheelchair. I also have a service dog 🐕🦺, Cooper (2), he is still in training. Because I’m living in Germany, the system for getting a service dog is quite different. First of all, you got two options: you can get your dog around age three, trained at a facility. This is really expensive and only guide dogs are covert by your insurance company (25.000€-....€). Your second option is, to owner train with the help of a certified service dog trainer. This is much cheaper (5.000€- 10.000€) and you and your dog can start to build a relationship right from the beginning, with 8 weeks. That’s the method me and my husband chose.
With an age of around 3 years, you can get your dog certified, for that you have to pass a test, then you get the registration for your dog and now your able to access every public place. Before you had to asked the owner of the shop or whoever is responsible for that place, to allow you to access 😏 I think that isn’t a great rule, because it’s difficult to train those scenarios, if you can’t get into them 🤔 so I often train at a pets store and a gas station( the owner loves Cooper, so we can train there, with all the sweets right at his nose 😀
Wishing you and your little family a happy new year 🎊 🥂 Katy 🐕🦺👩🏻🦽
I love your channel so much! Like a lot of other people, you help me understand what soooo many of symptoms are. And that they are migraine symptoms. Also after your POTS video, I learned my heart goes crazy when I stand! So I am going to a cardiologist soon to talk about POTS. You've helped me understand whats happening in my body, and that even if its not ideal, its ok. Just thanks so much for such a positive channel to turn to.
You are wonderful, thank you for letting me know and I hope you're able to get to the bottom of some things!
I have officially watched every video you have posted. My 2021 resolution is complete. Great start to the year!!! :)
You're the real MVP 🙌
I just want to say that you fricken rock! Congratulations to you and hubby for your sweet baby
Aw, thank you 😊
thank you for your channel i just found it and i have migraines also and am learning new things from you about them. I didn't know dogs could help with them so thank you for the info about migraines. keep up the good work and teaching us about them.
Congratulations once again. So happy to see you back. And so happy to see you and baby girl doing well. 💕
I used to get about 1-2 migraines a year as a kid/teenager. I always saw that flimmery vision when they started, like the old TVs used to have when the connection was gone. I would get massive headaches after that. Part of my arm and mouth would often go numb too - it was such a weird feeling. After 1-3 days of sleeping and resting they would be gone again. Luckily I grew out of them and haven't had one for about 10 years now. Most of my migraines were usually induced by some sort of stress or sleep deprivation.
The static vision!! It's so weird. High five for growing out of them! Pass along those genes!
Holy hell! When did you hit 17K!? I’ve been here since 1.5. Much love to you and buddy!
RIGHT?!! I blew up for like 2 weeks at the beginning of December and then died back down again.
Congratulations!! What a snuggly little squish of a tiny human, so cute!
My aunt is having a baby in a few weeks I cant wait hopefully it goes nice and smooth.🍼 I think yours is sooooooo cute cant wait to meet my aunts
i think Jen is going to be an awesome mom!
Woohoo! Hope you're right!
Wait. Competitive gymnastics?! Is there anything you haven’t done girl?! I’d love to hear a bit more about your experience doing that. I was a gymnast but never really competed. I love that when you talk about twisting, you automatically pull your arms to your chest! Some things a gymnast never looses
LOTS of things I haven't done, but I have done an oddly diverse range of sports. It's strange that gymnastics hasn't come up until now, because it was the biggest part of my life for pretty much my whole life 😊 What are you curious to know?
I’d love to know your experience with it. What it was like to be in a competitive environment at a young age, favorite skills, things it taught you that have helped you in life (like it taught me to never give up just because something is hard in the moment, doesn’t mean you’ll never get it), just the whole experience. I’m fascinated by competitive gymnastics!
Congratulations on the birth of your daughter! Excellent video, and great answers to the questions.
Thank you!!!
@@MommingwithMigraine You're very welcome
Thank you! Love learning more about migraines. It is good to learn more about what people go through. I have migraines but nothing like what most people have so I thought I did not have them. This has opened my eyes to different types.
I’ve had migraines since I was five and they have morphed through the years. It’s been interesting hearing from someone else who has similar things/symptoms happen to them. I’ve spent nearly 30 years being dismissed because it’s just migraines.
Thanks for sharing - nice to not feel so alone!
Botox has been one of my best treatments for my migraine variant as well as a calcium channel blocker and multiple antidepressants.
Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl! My girl was a sunny side up too, but that was 22 years ago! As a fellow migraineur, I definitely appreciate the intention of your channel. Your presentation is excellent and like another commenter said, I can see you quickly gaining subscribers and video popularity. ❤️❤️
Thank you 💜😭
I have sunscribed to you and only just got round to watching this video (been in a alot of pain) but I just wanted to say how much I admire you and how sweet your daughter is!!! Your strength gives me strength 💪 Please give sweet girl and buddy a cuddle for me ☺️🧡
Thanks, means so much!!
Hi Jen!! Thanks for your videos!! I've had migraines since high school - many years ago. You give so much information!!
Congratulations on your BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL!!!!!!! I have a question, do you have any migraine triggers? Mine usually come out of nowhere except when I’m listening to the radio a certain singer comes on and then boom I have a migraine. I know it’s weird but it happens every time. I have to change the station when I hear it.
Congratulations on your beautiful daughter! Glad you are both healthy and looking forward to the birth story :)
Thank you!!!
Congratulations on having your baby!! I hope you are doing well.
You did so good with the Q & A!!!
Gosh, thank you 😊
Congratulations on your new little princess, she is beautiful and thank you for sharing your birth story. You are a very strong young woman and I wish you and your family best wishes.
Thank you! Take care 🙂
Great Q&A! Looks like you’ve slipped naturally right into the “momming”, too. 🥰
Ah gosh appreciate it. Feels like my calling 🥰
Love this video. Its the perfect end to my weeklong binge of all of your videos!
Congratulations on the precious baby girl !!!
I'm a grateful you made a channel. Not only because of your content is exactly what I need but I have to agree other youtubers with service dogs (the ones I've seen) are not very good influences! The ones I've come across are so freaking nasty and mean. They act like everyone is out to get them. Or that people are being deliberately disrespectful. I have chronic illness, I am an invisible illness warrior. I've had brain surgery and am facing another... My family doesn't understand to the point that they are very uncompassionate... I also have a son with autism. But I don't treat people like crap because they don't understand. When someone gave my son a dirty look I would be hurt, obviously, but would also take the moment to tell them that he is autistic. I didn't treat them like crap. I have felt a certain way around poorly behaved children too, so I sympathize and try to understand and just hope others do the same.
Anyways.. that was a lot. I love your channel! Haha
I appreciate that so much! I'm sorry you go through it too 😔 I was nervous to say I didn't like the negativity in the SD community so I am glad you all are in agreement.
She is so freaking adorable girl!!! Congrats, hope y'all are doing so so good ❤️ Much love from Florida ❤️
I’m so glad I found your channel. I don’t suffer from anything that your channel is about, but I love learning! I also love the type of personality you have. Congrats on your baby girl! She’s beautiful! My son will be 8 months on the 3rd and boy do they call the shots!
I can’t wait for the birth video next week and Happy New Year! 😊
Your daughter was born on my husband's birthday. Congratulations!
Congratulations on your baby!!! Omg! She is so gorgeous and precious!!
Oh your baby girl looks beautiful! Thank you so much for doing this. You truly are an inspiration! Love your channel please keep it up thank you so much for answering all these questions. You are so kind hearted it is very touching.
Aww thank you so much 💓 I don't know what to say 😭
You don’t have to say anything just keep being you! I had a very hard time when my son was born and I understand how rough things can be. Hang in there you’re going to do great!
I just want to thank you so much for your videos since I have been about 13 I've been having terrible migraines with aura. The last two years they have gotten so bad I feel like I might faint sometimes. My doctors don't seem to know what is wrong
I just started the video, so maybe you'll answer it, but our biggest concerns with having kids is that I dont know how we would handle it with my migraines. If I'd be able to take meds to exist, because I wouldn't be able to stop working since I apparently don't qualify for disability. I also only can work part time as I need flexibility to avoid vomiting at work as much as I can.
Look for a lawyer who specializes in disability . They will often take a case where if they / you lose you owe them nothing, but if they win they get a big chunk of your settlement.
I helped a neighbor get disability. Called a "Head Injury Association" listed in phone book and they recommended a lawyer. Fred got his disability status!
@@veralenora7368 thanks! I'm ablebto make it through, its just a bit rougher than it needs to be lol I honestly at this point dont think I would deserve it since there are so many folks who have it so much worse that are struggling to qualify. I would still love to have a child one day, but I haven't found a doctor I can trust that does try and attribute any of my issues to my lifestyle or diet.
In high school I thought mine were just bad headaches but maybe they were migraines? Maybe once a month I would get those weird head throb - not like headache but like you had a really bad fever. Every step I took made me feel like 100 pound weight was going through my skull into my spine. I would have to lean on walls to get from bathroom to bed. I was sooo dizy. I thought this was just normal for headaches but after listening to you maybe not 🤷🏻♀️
Congrats on the baby! She's adorable
Thank you for sharing your baby girl with us!!!
You're welcome! I figure it's safe for now - she's a pretty anonymous face at this age.
I never knew that earplugs like that existed, I'm definitely going to check them out
Jen, you’re doing great. This is a process and I feel flattered that you’ve included us. ❤️
thank you for sharing! it's so interesting to hear about all of this!
and p.s., your daughter is adorable!
congratulations! you are going to be such and amazing mom!
You are amazing and inspiring. Please let us know if there are things we can do to help you. You have started an amazing community.
Thank you 💜 This community is seriously AMAZING, so glad you're a part of it.
you are amazing and so strong
I have severe chronic migraines. I get shakey, nauseous, dizzy, I also get some that hospitalized
Congratulations with your little girl.
I had migrains from 12 year till about 28. The funny thing was that it was after my second son was born the migrains be came less untill they were gone. I am now in my late 40 and only gets headaches. My vision was also the first sign of migrains.
This is so helpful. I don't feel so alone about migraines with aura and fainting spells. The little partial seizures comment. I can relate. Thank you!
Great job! Thank you for the great videos!
01:48
Mummy is talking to a box, I know, it's weird. You'll get use to it, Baby.
hahahahahaha 😂
Most people retire there dogs at 2 years before there lifespan. So he's life span is 10 to 12 so I would go down the middle with 11 for lifespan and retire at 9 if there's no health issues. However some dogs can't be retired because they love to work so much that when they are taken out of it they get depressed. So when he gets to the age of considering retirement you will have to figure out if he's the type to retire or work till the end.
That is mine for sure
Congratulation with the little princess! She is so cute! You will be an awesome mom. Sending you lots of love and hugs from Norway. Happy new year!
Thank you! You too!
Congratulations on the beautiful baby girl. Happy New Year! I hope you have a fantastic 2021.
Thanks, happy new year!!
i love that you reply to almost every comment
I do my best, I love getting to know you guys!!
You’re awesome. Thanks for sharing so much!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
please post a video on your husbands mute story!
Thank you for not using a binky to make baby quiet 🤐. Good luck and just enjoy your baby.
Did you select your breeder and your puppy specifically to have a super calm, super trainable companion, or did you just pick a Golden breeder in general knowing those are typical breed characteristics? And did you have to wait long for the right puppy?
Loved this Q&A thank you for sharing. Keep safe and love and hugs to you and your family. XxxX
Happy New Year. ❤❤❤
Thanks, same to you!
Did buddy just start alerting on his own? Is that something that some dogs just do or did you do light training to see if it would work and he picked it up really fast. That is super interesting. Also you little girl is so cute! Congratulations!
Thank you! He did start alerting on his own. I left his migraine alert as he did it naturally, but had to shape his fainting alert because it wasn't practical (he was gently licking my pant leg at first - not obvious enough - so we taught him to Nudge).
Thank you for the Q & A!!!
You are so welcome!
Congratulations on the baby! Side note....I was watching another channel and Jen you have a doppelganger.... Look up on TH-cam "Bone Detectives" S1 Ep1 on a channel called "History Documentary Nerds". You'll know which lady when you see her. I think you should show it to your husband and see if he can notice her. Just though I would share... again congratulations hope all is well!
I was about 10 or 11 when i started getting migraines, each one would make me nauseous and vomit, I'd often wake up at 1am with a migraine, regular painkillers would not touch it. I would be "out of action" for atleast 12 hrs. I started on Propranolol a very low dose like 10mg twice a day or something a few years after.
Now I'm 19 I've been on and off the Propranolol over the years but my migraines now don't crop up as often and don't often make me vomit anymore. Now i can typically sleep them off or just deal with the dull pain. However i do think i have POTS symptoms:/
A few years back i had a scary migraine with aura while i was working as a waitress. I'd never had it before and was scared, i thought i was having a stroke. I went numb down one side, couldn't see out of one eye. I couldn't talk properly but could process the words in my head...yet i kept working and serving food. Luckily i haven't had that experience since...
I avoid a lot of foods such as artificial sweeteners in candy and drinks. Lindt chocolate triggers it, cheese triggers it, fruit juices and more. :(
What a precious baby!
Ahhhh!!! That last one was my question!! Yayyyyy❤️❤️ I have pots and been thinking about getting a dog and training it. I’m only 17 but I’m moving out (hopefully) in a few months but I’m not really independent like going to the store or something is really scary.
I get lots of weird symptoms too. I have vestibular migraine too so my balance is affected occasionally. Strange sensations, over-stimulated by noise, smells, light, sounds, movement. Fortunately when they became chronic I was no longer working
That is fortunate. The dizziness is really hard to deal with.
CONGRATULATIONS on your beautiful baby girl-she is so precious!
She is absolutely precious!
