Thank you for your kindness in sharing this video with us; you don't owe anyone anything but your love for humanity and animals and your farm is highly remarkable! We love you and we stand with you during this time!
We're here for you with prayer, good vibes,and Virtual hugs! None of your TH-cam family that watches on the regular would ever think you are seeking sympathy...but sharing a burden makes it a little lighter!
I know that was tough Brooke to share. But your viewers will now be able to lift you up in prayer and that means a lot! God bless you Brooke. Keep the faith and stay strong, you’ve got this!
Sending healing vibes your way. I have lived with multiple auto immune diseases so I know what it's like when the body starts acting up. I hope they find which one you have and can treat it so you are pain free. Be sure they also do a tick panel on you. You spend time hiking with MaryCarl and ticks can cause a host of illnesses that mimic or trigger autoimmune illnesses. Praying your doctors get you quick results. Love, Hugs & Prayers ❤🙏✝❤🙏✝❤
You guys are family. I'm almost 70 years old and am stuck in my little apartment and I've become a bit of a recluse over the last few years. My heart breaks for you and you are so strong for letting us know what you are going through. I love you and Jason and MaryCarl. I love your videos. We all (Cog squad) know you don't want sympathy. But I am praying for you. I want you to know that there are thousands of people out here praying for you. We love you, respect you and are fighting for you to get healthy. Thank you for sharing this with us all! God bless you Brooke!
@@sandrah2758 God bless you Sandrah. Life isn't always easy. But I strive to find joy every day. I have no family but I keep myself busy with little projects and church.
Many names for all the autoimmune disorders out there. You aren't alone, tho, Brooke. You have a huge support group right here. Update us when you feel like sharing and Feel The LOVE that surrounds you.
AMEN!!! Most people are alone in the World No Family, Friends, or Any one Who Cares.. You Are So Blessed to have People ALL Over the World Who Cares about You and Loves the Person You show us.. We Just want You Well and back on that Tractor!!
12 years ago i found out I have fibromyalgia and my life stopped! It came on just like you said. You are explaining how I feel everyday. Im a mom and its HARD to sit back and let others do for you, but for your health you do. Please REST! The pain is worse when you do what your mind says but your body says nope! U are in my prayers
I have fibromyalgia too and I nearly cried hearing Brooke describe her symptoms because I recognised them too. I am praying that this is NOT the answer to her issues 🙏🙏🙏
I have fibromyalgia too and I understand Brooke’s feelings too. I also have severe arthritis. Just know Brooke that all of these these things and more don’t usually mean your life is over. It’s treatable to a point and there are times when you just have to sit and watch or go take a day or two of rest. I’m praying for you and I know you’ll figure out how to live with this. There are lots of us in your corner fighting with you. ❤
Prays are sent 🙏🏼 hopefully it’s not Fibromyalgia….even though listening to your symptoms they are exactly how I described it to my dr….many years ago!! some drs don’t believe in it but let me tell you it’s real….and it has flares…..so if your Dr happens to not find out what you have please get a second opinion and we’re here for you ❤
Your Cog squad is here for you with prayer and love. You don't have to be so tough all the time. Sometimes we have to be vulnerable even though it is not comfortable or in our nature. We love you guys!
Brooke, you will get through this. I had the same type symptoms when I was 40 (30 years ago) and was completely bedridden before they finally figured out I had rheumatoid arthritis. I’m so glad you are getting this checked out!! You are a tough woman and you will face whatever comes your way. I love you, Ms Brooke and pray for an answer and a remedy quickly. Fences and such will wait. There’s no emergency there as your animals are all fine for now. Your health is what is important. ❤
I also have RA and it took years to diagnose. When I got overly stressed it came to a point where I physically could not walk for weeks and they still could not figure out what was wrong and began diagnosing me with fibromyalgia. I refused to accept that it was only fibro. Years later my finger would not bend, so I went to the Doc and they re-ran the RA blood test and I finally tested positive. Unfortunately, I had a very aggressive form which required Methotrexate, which ended up damaging my kidneys. Methotrexate did little to stop RA symptoms and inflammation was out of control. Finally, I was able to begin a combo of humira and injectable methotrexate to begin to get some relief, however the methotrexate was making me sicker in other ways. I now am on embrel and Hydroxychloroquine and have little to no life and am always tired. Moral of the story is ...... there is someone out there that understands your struggles and prays that tomorrow will be a better day than today was for you because living this life, that is all you can hope for.
I'm 71 and it was just now that I was diagnosed with Rumtoid arthritis. Because they always blamed it on my age and weight with my back and hip pain. When my blood work came back, and surprise guess what then I went to have an MRI and guess what I have Rumtoid arithrtsis. As the same as you they gave me a steroids. The only thing that it did was soaring up my blood sugar. 🥹so since that didn't work I was givin a low dose with a med. You just have to learn how to live with it. And that's not easy thing to do. So my advice is take your time doing things take more rest and keep on doing you feel comfortable with.
Oh Brooke! I’m sorry to hear you’re having this issue. I’m going to offer some advice. I’m someone who has an autoimmune disease, and I know Very well what that all-over body pain is like, as well as the fatigue. The ONLY thing that helps me feel well - is avoiding all sugar, pasta, bread, and starch. I’m dead serious. These are the things we ingest that Greatly increases inflammation in our bodies within minutes of eating it. Watch out for hidden sugars in foods we don’t think would have sugar, too. It might help to join a group for cutting out sugars, or watch videos about low-carb benefits. Best wishes to you, Brooke. I hope you feel well soon!
You are Absolutely right! And I will add red meat. I have an auto-immune sickness too, polyarthritis, and what you eat (or not) is very important to avoid triggers. I do take medical CBD oil too and it helps so much!
I have the same thing. It's crazy how cutting out sugar has made such a difference in the way I feel. The pain and neuropathy drastically diminish for me. I also had thrush which is a form of yeast overgrowth ie Candida brought on by too much sugar or carbs in my diet. I pray for Brook that she'll find answers. 🙏❤️🙏
Sorry to hear about your illness. It's really hard knowing something's wrong but not knowing what. Healing prayers for you and prayers for your medical team to find the issues and get you on the road to recovery.
❤ Once you have a diagnosis, no matter what it is, you'll deal with it. It's the waiting that makes us crazy! We are praying for you, Brooke! We love you!
Brooke, this is not sympathy. This is gratitude for your forthrightness in the love you have for your fans. You are a phenomenal person in your compassion and love for your family and animals. Your work ethic is evident in all you do. Your Sharing this is a blessing to those who care about you and your family. I personally find you inspiring in your dedication to family and your farm fur and feather babies. Thank you for letting us know of your struggles. Your fans are here and will be praying for you and family. God be with you. A loving follower. Fyi, I stumbled upon your page a few months ago and have been following since then. I feel like I am a part of your family when I watch all the videos. I found you pages when you got the boys. Whom I just love.
Thank you Ms. Brooke for this share. With this, I will share with you. I'm now 79, approaching 80. When I turned 50 I began experiencing similar problems, expressing in lower GI problems, then peri-rectal , and colon related. After 14 years of trying to stabilize the symptoms with local doctors, I went to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester in 2008. Dr. William Faubion was my assigned G.I. doctor. I couldn't even walk from weakness at that time. In three days they identified Crohn's Disease; gave me the first infusion of Remicade and my strength came back almost immediately ! That was 15 years ago; I still get Remicade every 8 weeks (thankfully paid for by by Medicare and a good secondary insurance policy.) I was mowing my own yard until two years ago when my lawnmower died. Yes, I'm still pretty spry for a almost 80 year old lady. I do have many 'food allergies' I have to eliminate - ie. specific pollens, whole wheat products, COW'S MILK, alcohol , mellons, corn, pork, coffee, onions, shellfish and oils, chocolate ( if I had know this 29 years ago, my health might not have suffered so much ) Yes, no popcorn, fried foods; yes, I even have trouble with yeast ( breads ) and whole grains. If your problem is in your gut - sugars of most kinds inflame it ! I'm sharing this with you because you share with us like we are family. If I could save any family member with this information it would be worth it. Find the source of the problem , and get treatment ! You are still so wonderfully young. FIND THE PROBLEM !
I was thinking along that same line it's in the gut. Leaky gut can cause a lot of those symptoms as I have learned in recent months from experiencing pain all over along with nausea and pain in my gut. Turned out to be a bad infection in my gut called colitis. It's a struggle to find foods that don't cause inflammation and pain with all the processed and GMO food full of chemicals.
I was diagnosed with RA in 2019. And of course though my doctor wanted to start me on a biologic, the insurance company wanted me to try pills that didn't work. It was a whole year before the insurance would okay a treatment that actually worked. But I found that worked best to control my RA inflammation was to avoid all processed foods, all sugar, and just stick with fresh berries, low suger veggies and meat. 🤔💖😉 Praying that your doctor can figure this out and help you feel better. 🙏💖🙏
The cog squad are sending up a lot of prayers for you and your family.Thank you for sharing this with us,I know that it wasn't easy.You're a strong woman,and have an amazing support group without a doubt.
Brooke, no one needs to be that tough in life you’re beating yourself up over this and it’s not your fault it’s just happening to you and I do hope the doctor find something that’s gonna help you but I was thinking that maybe you guys can hire one person to work for you somebody you trust and feel like their family Somebody that will fit into all of this that you put on camera but that’s not for just you both of you can have bad days you just need somebody there for a shoulder to lean on when you need it and right now if you had somebody, then Jason and this other person can pull the fence that’s not saying that you can’t get out on the tractor when you’re feeling better and do what you love to do it’s just saying That you have somebody to help you I know it’s hard to bring somebody in that isn’t family but I hope you can find somebody that you feel close to and they could help you. God bless you Brooke I will be praying for you and your lifestyle everybody needs a little help sometimes.
@fayesheets5509 perfect words couldn’t have said this any better if I tried myself❤You got this Brooke,lotsa support for sure,we are all here for you all❤
As a thought, I live in rural Georgia. Our local high school has a series of classes where young people learn about how to take care of a farm and animals. Local farmers use their services in exchange for them learning. Maybe Jason could get some good strong young folks to help pull fences and stuff. You can supervise or teach about freeze drying. Maybe local 4H too. Lots of people would love to help until you feel stronger.
Brooke, you have more than just an audience for your videos, You have caring supporters to pray for you and respect that you would share this very personal challenge you are facing. We love the hard work and old fashioned values that your family shares with us and provides a living for you, Jason & your daughter. Hopefully this is something that you can heal from and face the days ahead with hope to feel well each and every day. Enjoy those creatures who fill your home, farm and life with smiles and stories.
Big hugs to you today. Wishing you a quick and total recovery over this illness. It’s hard to watch this video, such sad news coming from such an upbeat person. You’re a strong woman to announce this to all your followers, and we thank you and wish you well.🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙
Brooke, this is NOT an offer of sympathy, but rather a show of love and support as you navigate your way through this time. After all, that's what friends & family do for one another. Much Love to you and your family & many prayers for a quick return to a happy, normal, pain free life! You've got this!
As one who has experienced the full body pain of Rheumatoid Arthritis, my heart reaches out to you, Brooke. I pray you speedy relief, recovery, and restored to full health.
My thoughts exactly when she was describing her symptoms. I have Lupis and really feel for what Brook is going through. I hope you are currently feeling well. Happy Holidays
@@carlachemnitzer1228 Also.. a very strict diet stops RA; gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, seed oil free (olive oil and coconut oil are ok). Take a high quality mineral complex, vitamin C, D3, turmeric with fresh pepper. Avoid nightshades completely. Best wishes, Merry Christmas!
I had Dx of Fibromyalgia, ME/CFS and later Rheumatoid arthritis, turned out to be all Lyme disease and possibly at least 2 other tick Bourne infections!! . 20years of misdiagnosis. But healing slowly n no arthritis or intense whole body pains now. So I hope yours isn't Lyme or other tick bourne infection and you get a Dx soon and that it can be healed quickly. x
Brooke, I understand what you are going through! I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 1998 (before anyone really knew what it was). Over the years, it has knocked me down a peg or two or ten.. No matter what you end up dealing with, I will give you some unsolicited advice for chronic pain management.. Do what you can when you can, rest when you need to. Don't beat yourself up over it. Try to keep your humor, you have to accept things you cannot change, even if you really don't like it. You have a wonderful partner to help you cope, and I will tell you that mine is the only reason I am still sane!! Hugs and heartfelt prayers- for answers, for healing and comfort. I know it is not easy! ONE DAY AT A TIME. .
Wow! Clear, concise, and spot on. I have had a couple of painful chronic conditions for many years now. It took me a long time to figure out how to navigate my way through with sanity. Well articulated my friend!
Thank you for sharing your story, Brooke. I have 3 autoimmune diseases and have had breast cancer. I so understand your exhaustion. I had to stop helping my husband with farm chores also. He milked 40 cattle and has over 300 acres to farm. It took a long time to adjust. Now I paint and work with fabrics and I can still provide good meals for him. I just can't throw bales of hay or other strenuous chores. Take care and hope you feel better soon! Listen to your body.
Thanks for letting us know Brooke, not because you owe us, but now we can pray for you! Love you guys & everything is going to be okay with God's blessing!
Hey Brook you don’t owe us anything I’m sure we all feel the same way you will get through this a positive attitude is key and prayer helps too we love you Mrs Cog Hill
Good morning Brooke. Just take one day at a time. I was diagnosed with autoimmune disorder several years ago. It was a life style change for me. Whatever your health issue is, please lean on your loved ones and friends and don't be afraid to ask for help. You are a strong woman. More cuddles with the animals. You have a lot of support from your virtual family. Sending much love, hugs and prayers from Gloucester Virginia ♥️♥️♥️
I know this was very hard for you to share with your followers. So glad we know so we can lift you and your family up in prayer for answers and healing. Do what you feel up to and rest when you need to. Your videos give me such joy whether you are on the tractor working or sitting on the porch with " the boys" talking. Thanks for all you do and keep us posted. Prayers!!
Have you explored with your doctor that you were so sick this summer, after your holiday? If I remember correctly, you were down for a week, pretty much bedridden. Whatever is going on now might actually be related to that episode. Parasites can mimic autoimmune syndrome. You've got a lot of support here, Brooke, so know people are praying for you and keeping you in our thopughts.
You know what you're right!! That new tick thing everyone keeps talking about Alpha Gal disease, but that also is linked to getting very sick if you eat red meat. 🤔 Humm.. prob not that.. but so happy they are doing good detection work.
I agree with this ! Parasites and fungus are often called cancer, but the whole world has caught on to that scam. Ivermectin and fenbendazole are curing "cancers" every day, without all of the harm caused by chemo and radiation. You know when people ridicule "horse paste" they are either foolish and ignorant, or FOR the globalists' depopulation agenda. All farmers used to deworm their families when they dewormed their animals, and many still do, the wise ones do. ❤
If all you feel like doing is sitting and talking then I'll listen. Whatever you need to do I will support you. You described my aches and pains in which I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. They don't know enough about it yet give anyone helpful information. They are believing it is an autoimmune disease though. I hope you feel better soon and I'll be praying for you, Brooke. Much love to you.
Brook, you are such an amazing person. We are behind you praying for your healing. Thank you for including us in your journey. You owe us nothing. Get well. Your content no matter what it is warms my heart.
Brooke, thank you so much for letting us in on your health you didn’t have to let us know anything but we appreciate it and we fully understand you not being able to do anything at this time. We will be here when you’re feeling better !! and in the meantime, just take care of yourself and we will be praying on this end. God bless you and I hope you’re feeling better Rio soon.❤❤❤
You are in our prayers Brooke! Auto immune diseases are so very hard to pin point. You have an entire "Squad" behind you. Wish we could come down and help Jason finish that fence and let you get the rest you need! We love you.
I’ve been reading all the comments and I can’t add much more but to say we are all here for you. My daughter has gone through this and is doing just fine now. Yes, you are a strong woman and will get through this, and I’m happy that you have a strong support system with Jason and Marycarl. Take care of yourself first and worry about making videos later. You’ve more than earned the rest for now.
As someone who has health issues, I know it is hard when you have to slow down, Just know that it's okay to take your time to get well or to find out. Just know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers, A fan from Canada
Brooke, I am so sorry you are going thru this now. If your Doctor has ruled out a auto-immune disorder, ask to see a rheumatologist, they may be able to help. Meanwhile ,I want to share something with you . I am a retired critical care nurse. In 1990, I was you ! I woke up with my alarm to go to work and could not lift myself off the bed- the pain was everywhere. Long story short, my husband took me to the doctor's office and after very little poking and probing, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I had recently been exposed to a bad virus which had invaded my central nervous system. Eventually , with anti-inflamatory drugs like ASA and Ibuprofin, my pain became manageable. But I still live with chronic pain and fatigue. But I push myself thru it. I pray that your doctors find the source of your pain. Have you had any recent illnesses this year- like covid ? Covid causes what they are calling "long-haul syndrom " I love your family, your farm, your future plans and especially your love for your animals. Take care and God Bless !
I was thinking along the same line as you. I have fibro too. We thought maybe my daughter had it but after years of doctor appointments and trial and error it was decided she has psoriatic arthritis. She had psoriasis since she was small, but I know you don't have to even have symptoms of psoriasis to get this disease. So, she then went through many trial and error drugs to find what works for her. Thankfully, she did. Brooke, you take care of yourself, don't worry about us, we'll be here rooting for you. If I was younger and stronger I'd come help Jason pull fence for you. lol
I'm in your boat. 20 yes. It's painful ,burning, feeling like you've been beaten. I became addicted to Pain pills. Got clean and have learned over the years how to cope. Turmeric helps, delta 8 and Change of diet. It's a Real Illness.
Donna, you just explained me to a T. I know what you go thru everyday. I’m retired and was hoping To go places but I can’t. I do what I can everyday. Brooke needs lots of support now and your comment is great.
Brooke, I have been diagnosed with ME/Cfs (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome)/long covid what you are describing sounds very much like what I go through. Check it out on google. It’s very similar to Fibromyalgia. Ask your doctor if it could be this. Once you know you can start working on the treatment.
Auto immune diseases are so difficult. Active inside, but drags you down physically. We understand completely, and thanks for feeling comfortable enough with us, CogHillians, to share with us. ML to you and you family and your furry friends.🙂💗
I understand this, Brooke! I’m going thru auto immune issues now and am 75. It’s easy to blame age. Just know we love and support you . Praying they discover a good treatment for you. We’re here!!
You said it yourself Brooke, “I want to do all the things I’ve done in the past but I have to take care of yourself.” Taking care of yourself first so that you can get back to doing the things you love is the best thing you can do for yourself. We all understand and support you through this difficult process. Take care and get well.❤
Brooke........we are all there for you! Don't be ashamed to ask for help, where someone or more people can help with the fencing. You and Jason are the first one's to always help others! Sending prayers 🙏🙏 for you. I love your family. When I went through my breast cancer, twice, prayers 🙏🙏🙏 got me through it all. ❤❤❤
Praying for complete healing for you, Brooke. I know it isn't easy to take a step back and rest when you're used to taking care of the farm and doing the things you love, but you have to put your health first. I'm confident you will be back up and at 'em in no time. Love to you all. ❤🙏
Thank you for trusting us with your health worries Brooke - sending you some faith, love and hope. Ps I know you are a strong woman however don't be afraid to reach out for help 😊
Dear Brook, you are certainly in my prayers for healing & feeling better soon. I think you're an awesome person in all you do. So very sorry. for your pain & suffering. Prayers 🙏❤
Hang in there Brook, sending thoughts and prayers. Over the years one thing I have learned is the hardest part of being strong is dealing with not always being able to. Think about all the times you got that good feeling of helping someone. Now is your time to pass that feeling on to others that want to help you. Give them the chance to have that good feeling. This may be the time for you to slow down and take your daughter for more birding trips on the lake. I firmly believe life gives us opportunities to change our direction for a positive outcome even if it doesn't feel like it at the time.
Brooke slowing down and taking care of yourself is most paramount right now. Please don’t fret about your content because your Cog Squad will support you in any decisions you make. Keep your positive mindset and trust in your doctor to get you through this difficult time. It sounds like you’ve got a good and caring doctor. Many 🙏🏻 for recovery and treatments to help you get pain free and your health back.
Sending prayers to you, Brooke. It is not easy dealing with an autoimmune disease. I have one and for the past 34 years, and I'm only 67. I sympathize with you, never pity. You take care of yourself first. 🙏❤🙏
Brooke, I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I have multiple autoimmune diseases and can relate to how you’re feeling. Listen to your body and rest when it’s telling you. You’re in my prayers!
You all will be in my prayers, I'm 75 so I know what aches and pains are. You and Jason on Cog Hill Farm are one of my most watched sites making me feel so good , with all your animals and projects you do. May the LORD be with you.
Hang in there Brooke. They will figure it out. This is your time to take it easy. I think the cats knew you were doing a hard video. The way Bramble put his paw on your shoulder like he was consoling you was very sweet. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
Brooke, I am sorry to hear of your medical issues. I hope the tests show what is going on. Body aches and pains are no fun. I know. I have had thrush and no fun. I get thrush from some antibiotics and from yeast infection from certain medications. Sending positive thoughts and healing energy your way. Rest and take care of yourself. 💕
Thank you for your kindness in sharing this video with us; you don't owe anyone anything but your love for humanity and animals and your farm is highly remarkable! We love you and we stand with you during this time!
I was coming to say this exact thing!
Me too❤
You stated it so eloquently. My same thoughts.
Holding you in prayer. Very grateful you shared with us, your squad.
Know that this whole community is supporting you, Brooke!
You don’t owe us anything but we feel like you’re family and we care about all of y’all ❤
We're here for you with prayer, good vibes,and
Virtual hugs!
None of your TH-cam family that watches on the regular would ever think you are seeking sympathy...but sharing a burden makes it a little lighter!
My sisters got a lot of health issues after many covid-19 jabs. I pray that you be healed in Jesus name
I know that was tough Brooke to share. But your viewers will now be able to lift you up in prayer and that means a lot! God bless you Brooke. Keep the faith and stay strong, you’ve got this!
So sorry to hear you are not feeling well!!! Take time off and allow yourself time to heal!! God bless you!!.
Sending healing vibes your way. I have lived with multiple auto immune diseases so I know what it's like when the body starts acting up. I hope they find which one you have and can treat it so you are pain free. Be sure they also do a tick panel on you. You spend time hiking with MaryCarl and ticks can cause a host of illnesses that mimic or trigger autoimmune illnesses. Praying your doctors get you quick results. Love, Hugs & Prayers ❤🙏✝❤🙏✝❤
Yes definitely get checked for tick disease. Kyle from K&S Get Out had a horrible time until he finally got diagnosed with Alpha-Gal disease.
Wow, Yes....Great Idea!
yes! Excellent advice!
Prayers Brooke, just hang in there and know that several people are praying for you.
So sorry to hear this. Sending prayers.

12 years ago i found out I have fibromyalgia and my life stopped! It came on just like you said. You are explaining how I feel everyday.

I have Fibromyalgia & as she was describing her symptoms I just wanted to cry!
I also have fibromyalgia and it's horrid... I really do have to pace myself. I pray that you don't have it too Brook ❤❤

I second that statement.
I'm 71 and it was just now that I was diagnosed with Rumtoid arthritis. Because they always blamed it on my age and weight with my back and hip pain.

The only thing that it did was soaring up my blood sugar. 🥹so since that didn't work I was givin a low dose with a med. You just have to learn how to live with it. And that's not easy thing to do. So my advice is take your time doing things take more rest and keep on doing you feel comfortable with.
Oh Brooke! I’m sorry to hear you’re having this issue. I’m going to offer some advice. I’m someone who has an autoimmune disease, and I know Very well what that all-over body pain is like, as well as the fatigue. The ONLY thing that helps me feel well - is avoiding all sugar, pasta, bread, and starch. I’m dead serious. These are the things we ingest that Greatly increases inflammation in our bodies within minutes of eating it. Watch out for hidden sugars in foods we don’t think would have sugar, too. It might help to join a group for cutting out sugars, or watch videos about low-carb benefits. Best wishes to you, Brooke. I hope you feel well soon!
I agree with any illness start fixing diet we eat way too much poison and crap most dont even know how bad meat is for us😢
You are Absolutely right! And I will add red meat. I have an auto-immune sickness too, polyarthritis, and what you eat (or not) is very important to avoid triggers. I do take medical CBD oil too and it helps so much!
I totally agree. My daughter has RA, and diet is everything.
I have the same thing. It's crazy how cutting out sugar has made such a difference in the way I feel. The pain and neuropathy drastically diminish for me. I also had thrush which is a form of yeast overgrowth ie Candida brought on by too much sugar or carbs in my diet. I pray for Brook that she'll find answers. 🙏❤️🙏
Agreed. I found the same challenges. I changed my diet. Huge difference. Pain gone in four days.
By sharing you help others. Thank you for that. Hugs.
Sorry to hear about your illness. It's really hard knowing something's wrong but not knowing what.
Healing prayers for you and prayers for your medical team to find the issues and get you on the road to recovery.
❤ Once you have a diagnosis, no matter what it is, you'll deal with it. It's the waiting that makes us crazy! We are praying for you, Brooke! We love you!
My prayers are with you and your family.❤
Praying for complete restoration. God Bless
Brooke, this is not sympathy. This is gratitude for your forthrightness in the love you have for your fans. You are a phenomenal person in your compassion and love for your family and animals. Your work ethic is evident in all you do. Your Sharing this is a blessing to those who care about you and your family. I personally find you inspiring in your dedication to family and your farm fur and feather babies. Thank you for letting us know of your struggles. Your fans are here and will be praying for you and family. God be with you. A loving follower. Fyi, I stumbled upon your page a few months ago and have been following since then. I feel like I am a part of your family when I watch all the videos. I found you pages when you got the boys. Whom I just love.
Thank you Ms. Brooke for this share. With this, I will share with you. I'm now 79, approaching 80. When I turned 50 I began experiencing similar problems, expressing in lower GI problems, then peri-rectal , and colon related. After 14 years of trying to stabilize the symptoms with local doctors, I went to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester in 2008. Dr. William Faubion was my assigned G.I. doctor. I couldn't even walk from weakness at that time. In three days they identified Crohn's Disease; gave me the first infusion of Remicade and my strength came back almost immediately ! That was 15 years ago; I still get Remicade every 8 weeks (thankfully paid for by by Medicare and a good secondary insurance policy.) I was mowing my own yard until two years ago when my lawnmower died. Yes, I'm still pretty spry for a almost 80 year old lady. I do have many 'food allergies' I have to eliminate - ie. specific pollens, whole wheat products, COW'S MILK, alcohol , mellons, corn, pork, coffee, onions, shellfish and oils, chocolate ( if I had know this 29 years ago, my health might not have suffered so much ) Yes, no popcorn, fried foods; yes, I even have trouble with yeast ( breads ) and whole grains. If your problem is in your gut - sugars of most kinds inflame it ! I'm sharing this with you because you share with us like we are family. If I could save any family member with this information it would be worth it. Find the source of the problem , and get treatment ! You are still so wonderfully young. FIND THE PROBLEM !

I was thinking along that same line it's in the gut. Leaky gut can cause a lot of those symptoms as I have learned in recent months from experiencing pain all over along with nausea and pain in my gut. Turned out to be a bad infection in my gut called colitis. It's a struggle to find foods that don't cause inflammation and pain with all the processed and GMO food full of chemicals.
Thank you for sharing and expressing this so well. Blessings to you, Brooke and all who suffer from 'things' of the gut.
Ppl
I too fight food allergies and wish I could avoid sugar altogether...however I use honey and cane sugar.
Prayers and best wishes for you Brooke. Love to all your family.
Hugs & Prayers 🙏🙏🙏 love you all God Bless!! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I was diagnosed with RA in 2019. And of course though my doctor wanted to start me on a biologic, the insurance company wanted me to try pills that didn't work. It was a whole year before the insurance would okay a treatment that actually worked. But I found that worked best to control my RA inflammation was to avoid all processed foods, all sugar, and just stick with fresh berries, low suger veggies and meat. 🤔💖😉
Praying that your doctor can figure this out and help you feel better. 🙏💖🙏
Prayers Brook for a speedy recovery. You have so many folks in your corner.
Get better soon Brooke! Like my Aunt used to say “getting old isn’t for sissies”. I know you won’t give up! 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
My prayers 🙏✝️🙏
you're our girl Brooke. You're strong. We believe you'll overcome.
The cog squad are sending up a lot of prayers for you and your family.Thank you for sharing this with us,I know that it wasn't easy.You're a strong woman,and have an amazing support group without a doubt.
Brooke, no one needs to be that tough in life you’re beating yourself up over this and it’s not your fault it’s just happening to you and I do hope the doctor find something that’s gonna help you but I was thinking that maybe you guys can hire one person to work for you somebody you trust and feel like their family Somebody that will fit into all of this that you put on camera but that’s not for just you both of you can have bad days you just need somebody there for a shoulder to lean on when you need it and right now if you had somebody, then Jason and this other person can pull the fence that’s not saying that you can’t get out on the tractor when you’re feeling better and do what you love to do it’s just saying That you have somebody to help you I know it’s hard to bring somebody in that isn’t family but I hope you can find somebody that you feel close to and they could help you. God bless you Brooke I will be praying for you and your lifestyle everybody needs a little help sometimes.
We love you, Brooke
@fayesheets5509 perfect words couldn’t have said this any better if I tried myself❤You got this Brooke,lotsa support for sure,we are all here for you all❤
As a thought, I live in rural Georgia. Our local high school has a series of classes where young people learn about how to take care of a farm and animals. Local farmers use their services in exchange for them learning. Maybe Jason could get some good strong young folks to help pull fences and stuff. You can supervise or teach about freeze drying. Maybe local 4H too. Lots of people would love to help until you feel stronger.
God Bless you'll get the answers.. stay positive.
Great suggestion!
Here, here!! Wonderful suggestions. Good on you. God bless.
Those are awesome suggestions!!
You ARE a Warrior Goddess❣️❣️❣️ Howl at the Moon and keep those doctors on their toes ❤
Brooke, you have more than just an audience for your videos, You have caring supporters to pray for you and respect that you would share this very personal challenge you are facing. We love the hard work and old fashioned values that your family shares with us and provides a living for you, Jason & your daughter. Hopefully this is something that you can heal from and face the days ahead with hope to feel well each and every day. Enjoy those creatures who fill your home, farm and life with smiles and stories.
Big hugs to you today. Wishing you a quick and total recovery over this illness. It’s hard to watch this video, such sad news coming from such an upbeat person. You’re a strong woman to announce this to all your followers, and we thank you and wish you well.🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙
Brooke, this is NOT an offer of sympathy, but rather a show of love and support as you navigate your way through this time. After all, that's what friends & family do for one another. Much Love to you and your family & many prayers for a quick return to a happy, normal, pain free life! You've got this!
As one who has experienced the full body pain of Rheumatoid Arthritis, my heart reaches out to you, Brooke. I pray you speedy relief, recovery, and restored to full health.
My thoughts exactly when she was describing her symptoms. I have Lupis and really feel for what Brook is going through. I hope you are currently feeling well. Happy Holidays
Moringa tea for RA
@snowbird6855 I'll give it a try. Thank you.
@@carlachemnitzer1228
Also.. a very strict diet stops RA; gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, seed oil free (olive oil and coconut oil are ok). Take a high quality mineral complex, vitamin C, D3, turmeric with fresh pepper.
Avoid nightshades completely.
Best wishes, Merry Christmas!
I had Dx of Fibromyalgia, ME/CFS and later Rheumatoid arthritis, turned out to be all Lyme disease and possibly at least 2 other tick Bourne infections!! . 20years of misdiagnosis. But healing slowly n no arthritis or intense whole body pains now.
So I hope yours isn't Lyme or other tick bourne infection and you get a Dx soon and that it can be healed quickly. x
Brooke, I understand what you are going through! I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 1998 (before anyone really knew what it was). Over the years, it has knocked me down a peg or two or ten.. No matter what you end up dealing with, I will give you some unsolicited advice for chronic pain management.. Do what you can when you can, rest when you need to. Don't beat yourself up over it. Try to keep your humor, you have to accept things you cannot change, even if you really don't like it. You have a wonderful partner to help you cope, and I will tell you that mine is the only reason I am still sane!! Hugs and heartfelt prayers- for answers, for healing and comfort. I know it is not easy! ONE DAY AT A TIME. .
I have it also never goes away. You said that very well.
Wow! Clear, concise, and spot on. I have had a couple of painful chronic conditions for many years now. It took me a long time to figure out how to navigate my way through with sanity. Well articulated my friend!
Stay strong Brooke. Prayers and a Big Hug for you. ❤
Attitude is sometimes half the battle, Brooke. You have the right attitude! We are all here for you!
Brooke I’m glad you are listening to your body and are having things checked out. Sending 🫶 your way.
❤Brooke I am praying for answers and complete healing.
Thank you for sharing your story, Brooke. I have 3 autoimmune diseases and have had breast cancer. I so understand your exhaustion. I had to stop helping my husband with farm chores also. He milked 40 cattle and has over 300 acres to farm. It took a long time to adjust. Now I paint and work with fabrics and I can still provide good meals for him. I just can't throw bales of hay or other strenuous chores. Take care and hope you feel better soon! Listen to your body.
😢
Thanks for letting us know Brooke, not because you owe us, but now we can pray for you! Love you guys & everything is going to be okay with God's blessing!
Thank you for telling us about your situation Brooke. I will be praying for you. ❤🙏🏻
Hey Brook you don’t owe us anything I’m sure we all feel the same way you will get through this a positive attitude is key and prayer helps too we love you Mrs Cog Hill
Good morning Brooke. Just take one day at a time. I was diagnosed with autoimmune disorder several years ago. It was a life style change for me. Whatever your health issue is, please lean on your loved ones and friends and don't be afraid to ask for help. You are a strong woman. More cuddles with the animals. You have a lot of support from your virtual family. Sending much love, hugs and prayers from Gloucester Virginia ♥️♥️♥️
I know this was very hard for you to share with your followers. So glad we know so we can lift you and your family up in prayer for answers and healing. Do what you feel up to and rest when you need to. Your videos give me such joy whether you are on the tractor working or sitting on the porch with " the boys" talking. Thanks for all you do and keep us posted. Prayers!!
So sorry to hear this, Brook. You're a fabulouse woman. Prayers for🙏🙏🙏
Have you explored with your doctor that you were so sick this summer, after your holiday? If I remember correctly, you were down for a week, pretty much bedridden. Whatever is going on now might actually be related to that episode. Parasites can mimic autoimmune syndrome. You've got a lot of support here, Brooke, so know people are praying for you and keeping you in our thopughts.
Yes! I wish more people understood the issues parasites can cause! We ALL have them, we just can't see them.
You know what you're right!! That new tick thing everyone keeps talking about Alpha Gal disease, but that also is linked to getting very sick if you eat red meat. 🤔 Humm.. prob not that.. but so happy they are doing good detection work.
I was wondering about parasites as well with ad many animals as they have
I agree with this ! Parasites and fungus are often called cancer, but the whole world has caught on to that scam. Ivermectin and fenbendazole are curing "cancers" every day, without all of the harm caused by chemo and radiation. You know when people ridicule "horse paste" they are either foolish and ignorant, or FOR the globalists' depopulation agenda. All farmers used to deworm their families when they dewormed their animals, and many still do, the wise ones do. ❤
You've got this! You will pull through this! You've got the whole Cog Squad behind you, loving you, supporting you, and praying for you!
Amen! We are all standing with you Brooke and we are holding you up in all our prayers. We love you.
Amén you got this Brooke
If all you feel like doing is sitting and talking then I'll listen. Whatever you need to do I will support you. You described my aches and pains in which I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. They don't know enough about it yet give anyone helpful information. They are believing it is an autoimmune disease though. I hope you feel better soon and I'll be praying for you, Brooke. Much love to you.
Prayers🙏🙏🙏
Brook, you are such an amazing person. We are behind you praying for your healing. Thank you for including us in your journey. You owe us nothing. Get well. Your content no matter what it is warms my heart.
Brooke, thank you so much for letting us in on your health you didn’t have to let us know anything but we appreciate it and we fully understand you not being able to do anything at this time. We will be here when you’re feeling better !! and in the meantime, just take care of yourself and we will be praying on this end. God bless you and I hope you’re feeling better Rio soon.❤❤❤
You are in our prayers Brooke! Auto immune diseases are so very hard to pin point. You have an entire "Squad" behind you. Wish we could come down and help Jason finish that fence and let you get the rest you need! We love you.
I hope the find the answer you are looking for. God Bless You ✝️🙏🏼🛐
I love that you guys are so open and don’t hide things. You are in my prayers Brooke. We will all lift you up in prayer.
I’ve been reading all the comments and I can’t add much more but to say we are all here for you. My daughter has gone through this and is doing just fine now. Yes, you are a strong woman and will get through this, and I’m happy that you have a strong support system with Jason and Marycarl. Take care of yourself first and worry about making videos later. You’ve more than earned the rest for now.
Allow yourself the grace Brooke. You'll be right as rain and we'll keep your sweet little family and farm in our prayers.
Allow yourself GRACE!
Hugs and prayers for healing and health.
As someone who has health issues, I know it is hard when you have to slow down, Just know that it's okay to take your time to get well or to find out. Just know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers, A fan from Canada
Brooke, I am so sorry you are going thru this now. If your Doctor has ruled out a auto-immune disorder, ask to see a rheumatologist, they may be able to help. Meanwhile ,I want to share something with you . I am a retired critical care nurse. In 1990, I was you ! I woke up with my alarm to go to work and could not lift myself off the bed- the pain was everywhere. Long story short, my husband took me to the doctor's office and after very little poking and probing, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I had recently been exposed to a bad virus which had invaded my central nervous system. Eventually , with anti-inflamatory drugs like ASA and Ibuprofin, my pain became manageable. But I still live with chronic pain and fatigue. But I push myself thru it. I pray that your doctors find the source of your pain. Have you had any recent illnesses this year- like covid ? Covid causes what they are calling "long-haul syndrom " I love your family, your farm, your future plans and especially your love for your animals. Take care and God Bless !
I was thinking along the same line as you. I have fibro too. We thought maybe my daughter had it but after years of doctor appointments and trial and error it was decided she has psoriatic arthritis. She had psoriasis since she was small, but I know you don't have to even have symptoms of psoriasis to get this disease. So, she then went through many trial and error drugs to find what works for her. Thankfully, she did. Brooke, you take care of yourself, don't worry about us, we'll be here rooting for you. If I was younger and stronger I'd come help Jason pull fence for you. lol
I'm in your boat. 20 yes. It's painful ,burning, feeling like you've been beaten. I became addicted to Pain pills. Got clean and have learned over the years how to cope. Turmeric helps, delta 8 and Change of diet. It's a Real Illness.
I was diagnosed with an auto immune disorder in 2010 and fibromyalgia in 2016. Make sure that you take care of you so that you can keep moving.
Donna, you just explained me to a T. I know what you go thru everyday. I’m retired and was hoping To go places but I can’t. I do what I can everyday. Brooke needs lots of support now and your comment is great.
Brooke, I have been diagnosed with ME/Cfs (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome)/long covid what you are describing sounds very much like what I go through. Check it out on google. It’s very similar to Fibromyalgia. Ask your doctor if it could be this. Once you know you can start working on the treatment.
Auto immune diseases are so difficult. Active inside, but drags you down physically. We understand completely, and thanks for feeling comfortable enough with us, CogHillians, to share with us. ML to you and you family and your furry friends.🙂💗
🙏🙏🙏 for healing and discovery of the exact cause.
Brooke please know you and all your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for the update and God’s blessings always!🙏🙏🙏
Many, many prayers for quick diagnosis and resolution! God bless you all at Cog Hill
I understand this, Brooke! I’m going thru auto immune issues now and am 75. It’s easy to blame age. Just know we love and support you . Praying they discover a good treatment for you. We’re here!!
As my grandma used to say "Old age ain't for sissies". I'm old and learning to adjust .
Sending Prayers for Healing and Strength 🙏🙏🙏❤
You said it yourself Brooke, “I want to do all the things I’ve done in the past but I have to take care of yourself.” Taking care of yourself first so that you can get back to doing the things you love is the best thing you can do for yourself. We all understand and support you through this difficult process. Take care and get well.❤
Brooke........we are all there for you!
Don't be ashamed to ask for help, where someone or more people can help with the fencing.
You and Jason are the first one's to always help others!
Sending prayers 🙏🙏 for you.
I love your family.
When I went through my breast cancer, twice, prayers 🙏🙏🙏 got me through it all.

I recently went through a health issue myself. Praying for you Brook.

Thank you for trusting us with your health worries Brooke - sending you some faith, love and hope.

Sending Thoughts and Prayers across the miles from Texas
Prayers for a quick diagnosis and treatment. You are loved by your community.
Dear Brook, you are certainly in my prayers for healing & feeling better soon. I think you're an awesome person in all you do. So very sorry. for your pain & suffering.
Prayers 🙏❤
Hang in there Brook, sending thoughts and prayers. Over the years one thing I have learned is the hardest part of being strong is dealing with not always being able to. Think about all the times you got that good feeling of helping someone. Now is your time to pass that feeling on to others that want to help you. Give them the chance to have that good feeling. This may be the time for you to slow down and take your daughter for more birding trips on the lake. I firmly believe life gives us opportunities to change our direction for a positive outcome even if it doesn't feel like it at the time.
Love you so just hang in there. Praying 4you. God Bless you !!❤😊 🙏 ❤
Hang in there Brook. You will get this under control. Thanks for sharing. Prayers are sent for you.
Thank you for letting us know! Maybe giving the animals hugs and sitting and enjoying them so they can heal your heart is just what you need.
Brooke slowing down and taking care of yourself is most paramount right now. Please don’t fret about your content because your Cog Squad will support you in any decisions you make.
Keep your positive mindset and trust in your doctor to get you through this difficult time. It sounds like you’ve got a good and caring doctor. Many 🙏🏻 for recovery and treatments to help you get pain free and your health back.

Sending prayers to you, Brooke. It is not easy dealing with an autoimmune disease. I have one and for the past 34 years, and I'm only 67.
I sympathize with you, never pity. You take care of yourself first. 🙏❤🙏
Brooke, I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I have multiple autoimmune diseases and can relate to how you’re feeling. Listen to your body and rest when it’s telling you. You’re in my prayers!
Wishing you a swift path to diagnosis and then a speedy recovery. Hope you feel better soon.❤
I luv that creative tree ❤
Thank you for sharing. Sending huge hugs love and prayers. You got this 🤗😘🙏

Prayers and blessings for your health and well being dear Brooke. 🙏🏽💓💐 We are all here for you.
RA can also be a symptom of Lupus. My prayers will be for a supernatural healing.
Hang in there Brooke. They will figure it out. This is your time to take it easy. I think the cats knew you were doing a hard video. The way Bramble put his paw on your shoulder like he was consoling you was very sweet. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
Yes. Animals are very sensitive to our needs.
They are amazing. 💗❤️🌸❤️🙏🙏
Thank you Brooke for sharing, this enables us to lift you up in healing prayers and to always continue praying for your family!🙏❤️
Brooke, I am sorry to hear of your medical issues. I hope the tests show what is going on. Body aches and pains are no fun. I know. I have had thrush and no fun.

You will get better, we love you. That tree is beautiful.. We are praying in Ohio.
