    So relatable and the fact you can find a quick way to share a whole month in 15 minutes is a huge skill girl. I'm feeling shit too and am missing my Christmas party today but you raising visibility like this warms my heart. Your family and cat are so so lovely and so are you. We will all keep moving forward together. Lots of love xx

      Jenny Sherman aw Thank you so much Jenny! I actually really enjoy the editing of these videos so at least that’s something! Sending you lots of love really hoping we will get to meet one day! And yes I am so lucky to at least have such a wonderful family and friends to support me. I’m so sorry that you had to miss your Christmas party but health is more important isn’t it? Maybe next year you will get to go to all of the Christmas parties😊🙌🏻🙌🏻💕

    Holy cow this whole video was *so* freaking relatable. The endless time spent doing absolutely nothing, the isolation, the struggle to accept this is your life, and the benefits stress... I really felt this whole vlog as this is so similar to my life with ME.
    I think it is great you are raising awareness. Love your Instagram, love your music, love your vlogs, love you. Will share your video! xxx

    "This weird thing happens sometimes where I kind of shit out a song" (then proceeds to make shit sound) lol 😂 Your brother is hilarious he literally had me lol'ing! I'm sure you've heard this a million times but please keep going Alice. You're loved by many people and you're raising fantastic awareness by doing these vlogs. I'm going to share it with a few people. You're so strong for battling this for so long and you are an inspiration to many people myself included. Keep up the good fight Alice we are with you all the way! ❤️

    Hi Alice, I'm a long time ME sufferer and this video touched me to see how you're struggling. I see you questioning about doing your 5 mins walk every day and I feel like maybe 5 mins is too long at this point. To try to keep a daily walk going I would cut the time right down and if you're not up to going out, then I wouldn't personally go especially as the cold weather uses more energy x

      Claire Welch hi Claire, thank you so much for your message I think you might be right in that my baseline has been too high hence why I haven’t been able to stick to it. I am starting on a new program this week all of which will be in Decembers video diary of course! Thank you so much for taking the time to message me and I am so sorry that you are suffering too! It really is the worst🙈💕💕💕

    Really enjoyed your video! I have the same condition plus a few more. Just wondered if you’ve ever been tested for pots? X

      @ItsAliceElla  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      H L M Hi darling, I’m so sorry to hear that you are suffering with this as well, as it is so so tough! I’m sending all the hugs! I haven’t actually been tested but I do know that my blood pressure drops when I stand up, but I also know that there is no real treatment available for that anyway? Unless I am wrong x x x

    • @Hellylou
      @Hellylou 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Alice Ella it’s more to do with heart rate rising when you stand and your.brain not getting enough blood so your heart overcompensates to pump enough blood. Sometimes my blood pressure actually increases.I think the pots might be the reason for my ME/cfs. There are heart medications and lifestyle changes but no magic cure unfortunately. I just thought it would be worth testing for as it could explain why you get so tired easily. Im housebound for a few years now, but the pots diagnosis really gave me some answers. 💓💓💓

    Seeing you like this just breaks my heart. I just want to give you a big virtual hug for now :')
    I can't even think of the sheer amount of mental strain of being inside your house for days. I wouldn't be able to cope, and I don't blame you for having a hard time accepting it, no matter how long have you had it for, going from being 'normal' to not being able to do anything must be a great shock. I just hope you would be able to find better mental help that could push you to not listen to your body often and that when you do you don't have to feel guilty about it. Also, is there any news about the health assessment credit?
