    You are young, and I am old (turned 69 a couple of days ago), but I share many of your experiences. In my case, I have a partial walking disability (wheelchair access can be problematical, even in so-called handicapped access restrooms) and also need 24/7 oxygen. At my level of O2 needs, the bulky O2 bottles last just over an hour each, and the portable concentrator I have will run 1.5 hours on its battery unless I can keep it plugged in. I can't do heat and I can't do cold because of my COPD issues. So anyway, I 100% get what you're saying in this video, and yes, it is a bummer, big time. BIIIIIG time. We try to have a good attitude, but it hurts. Thank you for spreading awareness. It is important for all of us to know we aren't alone. (But I wish I had a Harlow!!)

    I so feel for you. I am going through similar issues but with different health issues. I have stage 3 untreatable ovarian cancer and the treatment I had caused permanent chronic pain in my chest. So between the pain and the possible progression of my cancer ( been having symptoms the past few months that lean towards progression of the disease), I cant do very much. Today I forced myself to enjoy an hour with my daughter on a nature hike. She is a amature photographer, so she was able to take amazing pictures with her new camera. But as soon as I got home, in bed I have been. I am nauseous,light headed and in pain. Anyway, I hope you get to enjoy a little more of your family vacay. Thank you for sharing your adventures

      I'm so sorry you're struggling with Ovarian cancer. My mom had that and it was so hard to watch her suffer from all of the symptoms. Sending so much healing energy your way. I'm glad you have your daughter nearby.

    Jaquie, it is so unselfish of you to encourage the family to go and do activities that you are unable to participate in. They are also so understanding of the limitations that you have due to your chronic illnesses. You & Judd both have very loving families!! 🤗❤️

    So many times I have felt alone or left out not because of my family but because of my diagnosis and I would say no to drives and a lot of things because I couldn't do it. Well my family thought I didn't want to be around them and I felt like I would be a burden because they would have to alter their plans for me so I would just say no so they could have fun and then felt left out. We had a huge needed fight and now we understand each other better. Like they will go for a drive or jeeping then come back and we will go for dessert. I still struggle with feeling like a burden sometimes or wishing I could do more but the support of family, friends and coworkers and other career patients saying your not alone helps so much and I'm very grateful.

    You are a warrior, Jaquie! Chronic illness definitely adds an extra level of stress, even on vacation. It’s important to know your limitations and plan accordingly

      @ChronicallyJaquie  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      So true! Knowing our limits and adhering to them makes us smart, not weak. It is the right thing to do. (: (Even though it may not be what we WANT to do, lol)

    What a wonderful weekend you had with your family. I have to pass on a lot of outings as well. (Chronic pain since I was 14...now I'm 58, so it's been a long time. Also just dx with chronic leukemia) so I know how you feel. It does however help to have a supportive family so you don't really feel like you are missing out. Keep up with the positive attitude Jacq! You inspire us to do the same!

  • @cathrenriddler45
    @cathrenriddler45 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I watched this video before my vacation last week and it helped me feel less left out when my sisters and cousin were enjoying all the different roller coasters I couldn’t do and enjoying good dinners I wasn’t able to eat. Thanks your videos have helped me so much. Your videos where you talk about how much your infusions help your POTS helped me talk to my doctor about doing infusions which have really helped my symptoms thanks

    I absolutely love how honest you are on this chanel! As someone who doesn’t have any disabilities, I find it important to learn as much as I can on conditions like yours and disabilities in general, to understand your reality better. And also maybe educate people at the best of my abilities if I ever get the opportunity! I’m currently still in school and find that people can be quite ignorant and even mean (On purpose or not) concerning that subject so if content like yours could reach the youth and have a snowball effect on as many people as it can, then I will gladly contribute! Of course you shouldn’t share anything that your are not confortable sharing but just know that I think you are doing a lot of good to this world! Lots of love💖💖

    Jacquie, I can so relate to not being able to do everything others can do. The challenge for me is that I don't have any family of my own - just my husband's family and both my husband and mother in law seem to have a challenge understanding and accepting what I'm going through. It's beautiful that Judd is so supportive. My husband has a hard time supporting me because he gets overwhelmed with my health stuff.Have you ever thought of creating a facebook group for people with chronic health issues? Although, I vaguely remember you saying you don't have facebook...

    I understand how you feel. My husband and I just got back from a trip to Ohio (a 6 hour car ride for us) and we we're planning to go to Michigan to see his friend, but it would be an extra 3 and 1/2 hours for us each way so it just wasn't gonna happen. But we spent a lot of time with his family so it was still a nice trip.

    I share the same experiences regarding my health. Went to San Francisco to visit family and had a health attack. I was shaking, dizzy and in lots of pain after a boat ride. I am now wondering if my Dysautonomia and my Central Sensitization Syndrome we’re acting up from the boat ride. It makes sense. We also had a day at the giant redwoods and the path was very bumpy in my wheelchair. Afterwards I felt like I ran miles.

And seeing my family upset with my condition makes things worst. I love being home! So since I spend the majority in home I like to decorate ( if I don't feel fatigue 😒) oh boy.

    @michelerussell7627 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you so much for sharing this I enjoyed watching it because I too have a chronic illness I have done the IVIG immunoglobulin infusions. They're still need it but they're too expensive now. Pain management is something I deal with all the time and it's amazing how I cannot find adequate help my central line has been out now for about 3 years I did three years of IV antibiotics cuz I have chronic lyme disease and it affects me terribly neurologically. My question is what do you do when you don't have any support. You don't do things with your family. And people don't check on you anymore. I feel so lost sometimes. I feel like I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired. I didn't fill out an application or go for an interview and tell them I was jumping with joy please let me have neuro Lyme disease I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I was diagnosed in 09 and if it wasn't for my best friend who was my caretaker for about 11 years thank God for her I would not be here. However September 20th 2016 she had a massive heart attack and passed away it devastated me and I've had no help since then. My lyme is getting worse and I'm terribly financially bankrupt from all the treatments and things I have done to try to get better. I'm at this point than I am no longer looking for healing or the solution I'm just trying to deal with the symptoms the best that I can but I don't know how much longer I can. My kids don't live very far from me they don't come by and see me or check on me I feel so lonely sometimes and I don't have a support I feel like the single mom who's broke has a chronic illness like I have leprosy or something I don't know

    Hey, I am heat intolerant and cold intolerant. Wondering why you don't have a cooling vest. I have a phase cool vest that has inserts in it that stay at 60 degrees. So I can stay cool and not get too cold. I know you tried the cooling towels and those didn't help, didn't help me either. I still have things I can't do but the vest has opened a lot of things up for me.

    I don't have any illnesses that prevent me from enjoying the beach. But what I do have is extremely white skin that burns very easily. Get me on a Florida beach with bleach white sand and crystal clear water, if I didn't have on sun screen it would take 10 minutes for me to burn to a crisp. And when I get sunburned, I get sick. Not only am I burned but I'm sick with a migraine and just blah. And at the end if the sunburn, I peel and turn right back white, so I don't even get a tan. So my always tan, burn and the next day have great tans, beach bum family I married into just can understand why spending 7 days on a beach drinking beer all day is my personal hell. That's the only family vacation they ever want to do! I'm not sure they even realize there's other places in the world to vacation at besides Destin Florida. You want to do a weekend getaway the beach? Cool let's go! But a full 7 days? WHY!?! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🙄
