Thank you so much my dear for patiently waiting. 💕 I also wanted to say I’m so grateful to everyone from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for being part of my journey. I’m always wishing everyone a good health and a happy life. Sending my warm hug to everyone from Japan ❤️🤗
Your daily chores really relax me.. I love watching you cook your food is very satisfying and you make it look so pretty and appealing to me. I’m happy for you that you have found someone to share your life with, and not be alone anymore.. God Bless you and may you have continued good health and happiness.. Watching you from Annapolis Maryland USA 🇺🇸
Hola 👋🏻 Está bien que vayas a un reumatólogo pero deberías hacerte un chequeo general primero para después ir a una Nutricionista para que te de una dieta equilibrada. Te ayudará mucho. PD: Sólo los que tienen problemas hormonales entienden tu sentir 😉 PD: En la ferretería venden patas plásticas para mesas y sillas y del mismo color y son duraderas. PD: Después te enviaré información del Dr. Roger Pamplona.
Please don't take this comment the wrong way. I hope that your boyfriend treats you very well because you are a very kind and special person. I hope he helps out and make your life easier because you deserve it. Let him spoil you.
You are so sweet, lovely and beautiful on the inside and outside. May our Lord and Savior truly bless you, always. P S., we look a lot alike only, my hair and my hands are not as lovely as yours. Maybe we are long lost sisters, LOL! Be good to yourself and always respect who YOU really are. I wished I would have known this earlier on in my life.
One thing I have learned about putting that type of furniture together is to not tighten the screws all the way until you have them all in. Then go back and tighten all the way. It makes it easier to wiggle them in if you are having a hard time getting the places to align. What a cute home you are making!
I don't iron, either, but for a different reason. I always do the wrinkle test at the store before falling in love with any type of clothing. If it stays wrinkled after I scrunch a small area, it doesn't come home with me. Of course, I don't have to work any more, so I wear a lot of jeans & t-shirts to be sure. But even the shirts & pants I wore to work never kept a wrinkle.
Just remember, you work and take care of a lot of responsibilities, so if you want to treat yourself, it's your business and nobody else's. We all do it. Never allow negative people to damp your spirit. ❤❤
I want to give you a tip about your baking when when you want to put that parchment paper into a little container like that first take the paper and involved into a crumpled ball, pressing hard and then open it. You’ll find it very easy to insert the paper into the little dish and it will fit much better and not pop back up on you.
Your videos calm me down. I lived through very difficult times with my family and I thought about giving up everything, but just at that time I discovered your channel and it motivated me to get up once again and keep trying. We are finally well today and without a doubt what I learned here, from your personal experiences, made me believe in myself and my ability to rebuild myself. I'm grateful for that.
Seeing her assembling the furniture reminds me that I have to get back to putting my new bed together. I put it off because it was too hot and I don't function well in the summer. But it's getting cooler now, so it's time to get back to it!😶
Sharing my experience: after long specific treatment my hormones just went crazy and I have to take thyroid hormone now. It balances a lot, but still there were other symptoms, muscle pain, cramps etc. What changed everything for me is the fact, that I can’t store vitamin D properly and now I am taking it everyday, along with magnesium and iron. It is life changing. Please consider - you grew up in a sunny area, but Japan has just different climate and maybe your body has still to adjust or maybe it can’t adjust to it. You can test your vitamin storage with a big blood screening test.
Hi Lou! Regarding your sluggishness- make sure you’re getting enough iron, vitamin d, and vitamin b12. Also, finding the right antidepressant really helped me, so visiting a psychiatrist might be a good idea.
After u bake the eggplants put them in a bowl sprinkle some salt and cover them. After 10 minutes u can peel them very easy. Never using water, u remove the all taste and flavour! Try this!
I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis 18 months ago and treatment has made a big difference. Always document your symptoms so when you need to explain them, you can pull out your notes and not miss anything! It took me a while to learn this because I always thought I would remember and I didn’t 😂
I am gonna make the funny comment of this video: How can be watching a person clean the floor be so relaxing ?!?!??! 😅😅😅 Lou, you are special girl....I hope you know that ! ❤❤❤
I had fibromyalgia for several years, so I know how difficult the pain and fatigue can be. I'm so sorry you are going through this. Thank you for pushing through it and continuing to create content to share. I appreciate how much heart you put into it!
Hi Lou. It's always a pleasure to see you. You are a wonderful home maker, and your new furniture is beautiful. I pray that you will be well . Don't overdo things - it is tiring. I see that you are doing the very best you can , and I hope that you find joy and happiness in all that you do. Until next time much love from Australia.❤🙏👩🦽
You are so organized and you are very calm. It is wonderful that you have a partner to share your journey with. Everything looks very pretty. Congratulations for achieving another goal!❤🎉❤😊
Your videos are so relaxing. You do everything with such calm purpose and patience and receive enjoyment in all you do. You've surely been successful in your pursuit to earn a substantial income. All the shopping for new furnishings, jewelry, etc, shows you are doing financially well! One pair of earrings are $71.25! Too rich for me! I would never blow money like that, but you will have expensive pretty things to leave your children or share with your siblings one day. You can be proud of all your accomplishments and how pursuing your dreams have paid off. Keep up the good work Lou! 🎉
Some cooking tips! For the eggplant charring or broil - let it broil or char first, then wrap into a plastic wrap or place in a Ziploc bag. Let it steam and cool for 10 min then take the eggplant out and you can easily peel the skin off the eggplant. For the eggs, I notice you have trouble flipping the omelette. A trick for me that works in my kitchen is place it in the pan, let the bottom side cook first, and then cover the pan with a lid for about 5-6 min and you should get perfectly cooked eggs without flipping.
Hello Lou. I thought your jewellery was lovely and everyone deserves a treat now and then. I am sorry to hear you are not feeling well. I had thyroid cancer, and was not doing well afterwards. I was diagnosed with a chronic progressive nuerological disorder - but once I had a diagnosis I felt better in many ways because I knew. They say "knowledge is power" well I have become an advocate for myself. I hope that receiving a diagnosis will help you in the future as well. I hope things improve for you.
Hello Lou, I woke up feeling a lot of anxiety. Many, many thoughts in my head. I have lots of things to do today, Sunday. I meditated a bit, listened to a calming audio for anxiety, played with a cat I am pet sitting, but I still felt anxious. I was searching for a video to watch on calming anxiety, and I saw you posted a new video. I was grateful. Many times when I am anxious or down, your videos help me very, very much. 🙏 You are a sincere, kind girl. You are respectful, a good daughter, a hard worker, and I have no doubt, a wonderful girlfriend.❤ You have experienced many difficult things in your life, and yet you always keep moving forward, positive, and have deep faith. 🙏 Everything you do, whether it is cooking, cleaning, putting together something you bought, shopping..... anything, you do it with determination, focus and purpose. This video has been all of that for me & more. 🙏 You always show us to continue in our lives, to believe in ourselves, that things always get better......and to never let our goals & dreams fade away. To put in the work....and go forward. No matter what. This is why I appreciate you & your videos so much. 🙏 Thank you Lou. You are a blessing ❤️🙏 (I love the kitchen table & chairs! I never saw little socks made for tables & chairs like that! Such a cute idea! 😍)
Lou it is wonderful to see you happy as you make your apartment a home. You are wished a long and blessed life. Through all the hard work and challenges you have faced you never gave up and trusted in God to help and restore you, and he has and will continue to do so. Sending Love from Canada 🇨🇦
Hello Lou here's another idea if you don't want to iron: I use 1 part vinegar and two parts water in a spray bottle and spray the clothes on a hanger. The smell goes away! Clothes are neat and not wrinkled. You can use fabric softener instead of vinegar, but both solutions work really well
Aloha LouC....so glad to see you looking good. Your apartment is cozy and coming along great. Gorgeous jeweleries, you deserve to pamper yourself. Mostly, to have someone to share precious moments. Have faith and believe in each other. Tomorrow is never promise!!! Take care always! ❤❤❤
Che bello rivederti, sei sempre così tranquilla che trasmetti la tua serenità😊... Il tuo appartamento è molto carino e mi piace tanto come lo avete sistemato, un caloroso abbraccio dall'Italia.
Your dessert looks so good! I want you to try this. I have thyroid issues too and avoiding sugar, processed foods, flour etc. can be hard but with right diet and supplements I feel a lot better.
Hi Lou, I'm following you from Italy. I completely understand your health problems, because I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia for a few years. You will see that you too will find good specialists who can make you feel better. I wish you all the best in the world 🙋🏻♀️
I have it too it's a curse, but it can be managed.. as for the sugar issues it's so hard to know what to do for the best...maybe try agave or Stevia which are supposed to be better for sugar levels and insulin responses? My mum.was diabetic, type 2 but on insulin and I had to regulate her diet as she was in a wheelchair. I worked out what she could tolerate and what she couldn't and we stuck to that, and thank God she wasn't prone to hypos. But it wasn't just the sugar she ate - it was the FORM she ate it in. Eg she would have fruit, but WHOLE fruit, in small amounts spaced throughout the day eg 50g mixed soft fruits at 8.30am, then perhaps an apple or pear at 1pm after her lunch sandwich. But she went into respite care for a week and they didn't weigh and measure the fruit, nor stick to the times I told them. Worse, they one morning forgot her usual fruit after her bowl of porridge, but still gave her the full amount of insulin prescribed, which was too much without the correct food units to balance it out. They then proceeded to give her a smoothie which is a disaster for diabetics as they have 2-3 portions of fruit at once, plus because the fruit is pureed it goes onto the body almost semi digested, and the body doesn't have to work to break it down..Diabetic specialists will strongly advise against having smoothies , but these stupid, supposedly trained nurses ignored that and gave it to her, which caused an almost immediate hypo. She did recover from it, but wasn't well for rest of the day..at home she almost never had hypos, unless she was getting some kind of infection or virus, because I watched like a hawk what she was ingesting and watched her blood sugars closely and stuck to the diet we KNEW worked well. I did write this all down in her diary and verbally told the staff, but was ignored. ....grrrr.
@@sapphire22011By "hypo" or "hypos" you are referring to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) correct? I am mentioning this because many people here might not know what that is. You did a great job caring for your Mother. Sometimes nurses and nursing staff do not listen. I can see why a fruit smoothie might not be the best option for a person with delicately balanced insulin dependent diabetes.
@@scook5599 yes it's short for hypoglycaemia episode. I did my best but it does illustrate how changes can affect diabetics. She wasn't usually prone to hypos, but we did follow the same routines daily and I knew her so well, I suppose that I knew how to balance her food vs insulin intakes I could move it up or down by a few units if necessary for example, say if she wasn't eating as well. I also could pick up on the very subtle signs thst something wasn't right, which only comes with knowing someone very well, so that's why I was upset at what the staff did. It makes it even MORE important fir them to listen to the main carer (s).that KNOW the person. Another thing about smoothies I forgot to mention is that mostly the peel or skin is taken off, so there's less fibre for the body to break down..I wouod make sure that 🍐🍎🥝 had peel left on and only chopped them roughly, if at all and I tried to avoid 🍉🥭🍍🍇 etc or use VERY sparingly as they are lethal for sugar.. a trick I used was yo freeze grapes so they were like sweets, but she could only eat a few at a time and it helped satisfy the craving. I must admit I'm not convinced by coconut sugar or other 'alternatives'. Sugar us sugar the body dies not differentiate. I'm also mot convinced by Stevie or agave as I think they both taste like artificial sweetners. My mum wasn't long diagnosed as diabetics when she got a bad strike and was off all solid food for 3.5 weeks sadly. That kinda forced her body into cold turkey as far as sugar etc went and she lost almost 4 stone after 3 months of rehab and a strictly controlled and monitored diet (although I STILL had to warn the medical staff not to give her 0% fat yoghurt, as they simply pump it full of sugar instead.) We had to use the special diabetic yoghurts that were no sugar and very low fat. The ward sister who was a battle axe told me I was talking rubbish so I said " don't believe me, check woth diabetics specialist nurse then) .....who confirmed I was right 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the battle 🪓 was RAGING and stormed off in a huff 🤣🤣 Pity about her 😈
@@sapphire22011 I am so sorry that you had to struggle so hard with health care providers and nurses in particular to get them to listen to you! Nurses and Doctors don't always listen to patients and families and that is so sad and so bad for the patient! You did an amazing job and I am so glad that you were there to stand up for your Mother, protect her. Thank you for all of this valuable information.
I so enjoy your videos LouC. You definitely have a very calming personality. The jewelry is so pretty. I dont wear earrings but those are pretty. I absolutely love the bracelet though. You should always treat yourself! I love the plastic plants and flowers too. They are made more realistic now a days. I have several plastic plants in our home and no ones the wiser that their not real lol. I hope when your new check up is done they find the root of the problem and you get some relief. Be Blessed both of you!
YOU DESERVE AND HAVE EARNED THIS REWARD‼️❤️ I sooo enjoy your TH-cam, NEVER boring, ALWAYS interesting and entertaining....you are Such sweet girl/I wish you Peace, Health, and Joy! ❤❤
Lou. First thank you for the snacks i purchased. I forgot about them so it was a nice surprise 😂 i also have fibromyalgia, it causes widespread pain and fatigue among other issues. A good Rheumatologist can do a touch test to check for it. Getting enough sleep is important but hard to do. Mild exercise, good diet , meditation helps. Good luck. 😊
For the table and chair legs try instead self-adhesive felt pads. There are many types of chair leg protective caps, which fit better and especially are more invisible and more effective 😊
Hi LouCslife! After grilling anything, just keep it covered for some time. The skin will come off very easily. If you run under the water, you will lose the smokey flavour ❤
Congratulations on your success on TH-cam! you fully deserve it. I really like your videos, you can see the change in 4 years 😎👍✨ I would dream of succeeding like you, you are an example to follow.
🌺🌺🌺Congratulations with the new TH-cam milestone. Beautiful new jewellery I miss all the open shots you use to share of your apartment layout. I cant imagine your new apartment layout with all the close ups. Not complaining to be rude I just miss that part of your vlogging. 🌺🌺🌺
Hi Liu, Retired Registered Nurse here I recommend going to see a rheumatologist first. There is nothing wrong with you psychiatrically that I can see and I have been watching your videos for a long time. A psychiatrist will just give you medicine. Talk therapy might help for support, but probably won't take your physical symptoms away. Also, study up on fibromyalgia and muscle disorders to see what you can do to help yourself. I know that you are already very proactive in your self care. You eat a pretty healthy diet, you exercise, do self affirming messages. Make sure that your thyroid condition is in control. You are hypothyroid since your surgery, correct? Regarding sugar, I can tell that you like sweet things. If you can, cut down on refined sugars. That includes coconut sugar unfortunately. Focus on naturally sweet food like fruits bananas and apples etc. Use those for sweetening if you can. I also occasionally use Stevia. For me, the more foods with added sugar I eat, the more I crave it.
Another retired Registered nurse here. I agree, and consider adding a work out routine that includes stretching and weights. Maybe consider yoga or Pilates. AND sometimes TSH, T3,T4 Labs "within normal limits" Does NOT mean optimal health! Somebody in a class is a 'D' but we want the 'A's ! Normal includes the Ds!
@@shelleylee6354 You are so right! Thank you for your valuable input! I was thinking Tai Chi for exercise too. No hard pounding on the joints or too much muscle stress. I was also thinking about Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, but not sure if it would apply as I believe that Liu was originally hyperthyroid and had surgery for it, then became hypothyroid? Please correct me if I am wrong here.
I love water aerobics for my fibromyalgia. I cut out foods that cause inflammation for me. I have noticed that eating more leafy greens, changing my diet and cutting out extra sugar has helped me from having a flare up.
With your symptoms I would suggest you see a naturopath or acupuncture specialist or both for an opinion. My friend did for his fibromyalgia and she's a changed lady. The last thing you want is to pop pills. Your new home is great. Bushyboy Oz.
Hi LouC!! I am a type 2 diabetic and I have found that Monkfruit drops are the best sweetner for me. I doesn't raise my blood sugar at all, and it will not cause tummy issues like sugar alcohol (xanthun and xylitol). And it is much sweeter than most sugars on the market! You only need a few drops to make anything very sweet. My doctor recommended it...and it's done very well for me. Just make sure it pure and doesn't have the others added. Hope this helps some. ❤
I also see an endocrinologist . I get regular blood work, checkups and ultrasound to monitor the nodules in my thyroid. Everyone has different symptoms and it takes trial and error to find the right medication and dosage. Be patient but persevere in finding a solution.
I liked so much of what you showed us. Your homemade chocolate dessert looked delicious. I thought the pink clock was cute. I was amazed at how well you assemble furniture. I enjoy watching you buy gadgets for your apartment. I am glad your boyfriend took you out to eat. I liked the jewelry you ordered. This was a nice clip of your life. Remember, you deserve happiness! Love your Rhode Island friend, Cindy
Hello from Sydney. Those flowers are so pretty. Dainty & nice. The jewellery you ordered is so lovely. I love that style aswell. & they suit you too. In terms of coconut sugar and all these silly negative things they confuse us with; just ignore! You NEED to feel happy! One moment, they say it's bad, the next it's good. The best thing to do is eat & drink what you feel like & everything in moderation. The rest are fear & control tactics. I would've thought that ice cubes in the tumble dryer made the clothes damp. I've never tried that either. I love your storage rack & nice dining table. Well done! 😊 I so enjoy watching your videos. Your personality, the food you make & things you do comfort me.
Lou, i hope you feel better and find out why you arent feeling well. Has your doctor checked your vitamin levels? I live in the US and doctors often dont check them. Ive been having muscle and joint pain, stiffness, fatigue, etc. My dr did finally check my vitamins and i have low vitamin D and low B12 which is causing my symptoms. If you havent already i suggest getting those checked maybe its just a deficiency. ❤
Hello beautiful Lou C from USA. It’s a great video. Your new jewelry is beautiful. You are sooo good at assembling furniture. Everyone is so happy you have someone to share your life with. We can tell it makes you happy and if you are happy then we are happy. Much much ❤️
Bonjour Lou, contente de voir une nouvelle vidéo et de voir que vous allez bien. Moi, je n'ai pas trop le moral, je me suis cassée le poignet. Ça me ferait plaisir que vous me fassiez un petit coucou. Voilà, bonne continuation ! Merci Lou ! Amitiés, Isabelle from France ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I'm always amazed at how well you put things together!! Keep working on your health. I hope they figure out what is causing you pain so you can be better! Never heard of the ice cube trick! ❤
Congrats on 200K wow what an accomplishment!! You have come so far and I am so proud of you. You had a lot on your shoulders to carry and you persevered
Muscle pain and fatigue are very common with fibromyalgia. I have Hashimoto’s and within a year I had fibromyalgia and rhematoid arthritis. I’m almost 70 now and a cancer survivor. I’ve found gentle exercise, a healthy mainly organic diet that has me eating vegetarian more often, walking and my pet cats all help me. You might find you have a sesitivity to eggplant - it can trigger off muscle pain (both myself and my daughter have this sensitivity). Tomatoes and chillies are in the same group of food. We’re ok with tomatoes but I also have a sensitivity to 🌶️. When I have a fibro flare, I focus on resting and relaxing as stress can be a fibro trigger. Hope this helps.❤
Love your new jewelry! You are very pretty with beautiful eyes. Great job assembling your new purchases. Isn’t it fun to decorate a new place and make it feel like home? ❤️✌🏻
I just love watching you n your vlogs, every week i wait for ur new vlog. I love its authenticity, the calmness, richness I can't describe in words. Just keep it up girl. Lots and lots of love to you ❤❤❤❤.
Lou, you inspire & encourage so many. Thank you! Dont take this wrong, but when I saw you putting together your items, all I could think of was the paw patrol song. I have small grandkids. 🤷♀️ It says no jobs too big, no pups too small….there is no job too big for you Lou. You tackle each thing head on & you always keep your eyes on the goal. I admire you for that. Your dessert looked yummy! I loved dinette set & the socks lol. So cute! Thanks for sharing Lou. God bless you both. ❤️
Thank you so much my dear for patiently waiting. 💕 I also wanted to say I’m so grateful to everyone from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for being part of my journey. I’m always wishing everyone a good health and a happy life. Sending my warm hug to everyone from Japan ❤️🤗

It makes it easier to wiggle them in if you are having a hard time getting the places to align. What a cute home you are making!
The trick with using a dryer is to remove the clothes just before the cool down period. I haven’t used an iron in years.
Yes, I was just about to put this too, the clothes need to be still tumbling and warm. I don’t iron much at all now either.
yes take them out before completely dry and shake and hang.
I don't iron, either, but for a different reason. I always do the wrinkle test at the store before falling in love with any type of clothing. If it stays wrinkled after I scrunch a small area, it doesn't come home with me. Of course, I don't have to work any more, so I wear a lot of jeans & t-shirts to be sure. But even the shirts & pants I wore to work never kept a wrinkle.
Or just use an iron. Cheaper and more effective.
Yep..same here .
The second machine stops , grab the ones that wrinkle more..grab those first lay them flat or hang on hanger . Certainly works for me
She's so patient with everything she owns. Beautiful way to be.
Thank you ❤️
I have never seen chair socks but they are adorable! The place looks great and as always thanks for taking us with you ❤

Hi Lou! Regarding your sluggishness- make sure you’re getting enough iron, vitamin d, and vitamin b12. Also, finding the right antidepressant really helped me, so visiting a psychiatrist might be a good idea.
You can put rubber footings ing your dining table & chairs to prevent it from moving & make scratches on your floors & avoid extra noise.

I do this way for years, but no salt thou. The steam is enough.
i always eat the skin. didn't know. is it bad for you?
@@catea2551 We often eat the skin, it just depends on the dish.

Hello Lou,
I woke up feeling a lot of anxiety. Many, many thoughts in my head. I have lots of things to do today, Sunday.
I meditated a bit, listened to a calming audio for anxiety, played with a cat I am pet sitting, but I still felt anxious.
I was searching for a video to watch on calming anxiety, and I saw you posted a new video. I was grateful. Many times when I am anxious or down, your videos help me very, very much. 🙏
You are a sincere, kind girl. You are respectful, a good daughter, a hard worker, and I have no doubt, a wonderful girlfriend.❤
You have experienced many difficult things in your life, and yet you always keep moving forward, positive, and have deep faith. 🙏
Everything you do, whether it is cooking, cleaning, putting together something you bought, shopping..... anything, you do it with determination, focus and purpose.
This video has been all of that for me & more. 🙏
You always show us to continue in our lives, to believe in ourselves, that things always get better......and to never let our goals & dreams fade away. To put in the work....and go forward. No matter what.
This is why I appreciate you & your videos so much. 🙏
Thank you Lou. You are a blessing ❤️🙏
(I love the kitchen table & chairs! I never saw little socks made for tables & chairs like that! Such a cute idea! 😍)
Lou it is wonderful to see you happy as you make your apartment a home. You are wished a long and blessed life. Through all the hard work and challenges you have faced you never gave up and trusted in God to help and restore you, and he has and will continue to do so. Sending Love from Canada 🇨🇦
Hello Lou here's another idea if you don't want to iron: I use 1 part vinegar and two parts water in a spray bottle and spray the clothes on a hanger. The smell goes away! Clothes are neat and not wrinkled. You can use fabric softener instead of vinegar, but both solutions work really well
Love the jewelry, especially the bracelet.
I love watching you cook it's so relaxing 🎉😊
There are little balls you can put in the dryer to replace the ice cubes. They are reusable and environmentally friendly. 😊
You are such an inventive cook! - Congratulations on 200,000 - you certainly deserve it! Please stay well!
Your shares are so endearing, your very blessed ❤️🙏🏻
You are very good at putting things together.
Aloha LouC....so glad to see you looking good. Your apartment is cozy and coming along great. Gorgeous jeweleries, you deserve to pamper yourself. Mostly, to have someone to share precious moments. Have faith and believe in each other. Tomorrow is never promise!!! Take care always! ❤❤❤
my dear *lou* thank you so much for always share your love 💕 and kindness 🙏 stay health and God always bless you and all your dearest family 🙏
Che bello rivederti, sei sempre così tranquilla che trasmetti la tua serenità😊... Il tuo appartamento è molto carino e mi piace tanto come lo avete sistemato, un caloroso abbraccio dall'Italia.
Daiso is the best.
Your dessert looks so good! I want you to try this. I have thyroid issues too and avoiding sugar, processed foods, flour etc. can be hard but with right diet and supplements I feel a lot better.
I love your table and chairs
Hi Lou, I'm following you from Italy. I completely understand your health problems, because I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia for a few years. You will see that you too will find good specialists who can make you feel better. I wish you all the best in the world 🙋🏻♀️
I have it too it's a curse, but it can be managed.. as for the sugar issues it's so hard to know what to do for the best...maybe try agave or Stevia which are supposed to be better for sugar levels and insulin responses? My mum.was diabetic, type 2 but on insulin and I had to regulate her diet as she was in a wheelchair. I worked out what she could tolerate and what she couldn't and we stuck to that, and thank God she wasn't prone to hypos. But it wasn't just the sugar she ate - it was the FORM she ate it in. Eg she would have fruit, but WHOLE fruit, in small amounts spaced throughout the day eg 50g mixed soft fruits at 8.30am, then perhaps an apple or pear at 1pm after her lunch sandwich. But she went into respite care for a week and they didn't weigh and measure the fruit, nor stick to the times I told them. Worse, they one morning forgot her usual fruit after her bowl of porridge, but still gave her the full amount of insulin prescribed, which was too much without the correct food units to balance it out. They then proceeded to give her a smoothie which is a disaster for diabetics as they have 2-3 portions of fruit at once, plus because the fruit is pureed it goes onto the body almost semi digested, and the body doesn't have to work to break it down..Diabetic specialists will strongly advise against having smoothies , but these stupid, supposedly trained nurses ignored that and gave it to her, which caused an almost immediate hypo. She did recover from it, but wasn't well for rest of the day..at home she almost never had hypos, unless she was getting some kind of infection or virus, because I watched like a hawk what she was ingesting and watched her blood sugars closely and stuck to the diet we KNEW worked well. I did write this all down in her diary and verbally told the staff, but was ignored. ....grrrr.
@@sapphire22011By "hypo" or "hypos" you are referring to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) correct? I am mentioning this because many people here might not know what that is. You did a great job caring for your Mother. Sometimes nurses and nursing staff do not listen. I can see why a fruit smoothie might not be the best option for a person with delicately balanced insulin dependent diabetes.
@@scook5599 yes it's short for hypoglycaemia episode. I did my best but it does illustrate how changes can affect diabetics. She wasn't usually prone to hypos, but we did follow the same routines daily and I knew her so well, I suppose that I knew how to balance her food vs insulin intakes I could move it up or down by a few units if necessary for example, say if she wasn't eating as well. I also could pick up on the very subtle signs thst something wasn't right, which only comes with knowing someone very well, so that's why I was upset at what the staff did. It makes it even MORE important fir them to listen to the main carer (s).that KNOW the person. Another thing about smoothies I forgot to mention is that mostly the peel or skin is taken off, so there's less fibre for the body to break down..I wouod make sure that 🍐🍎🥝 had peel left on and only chopped them roughly, if at all and I tried to avoid 🍉🥭🍍🍇 etc or use VERY sparingly as they are lethal for sugar.. a trick I used was yo freeze grapes so they were like sweets, but she could only eat a few at a time and it helped satisfy the craving.
I must admit I'm not convinced by coconut sugar or other 'alternatives'. Sugar us sugar the body dies not differentiate. I'm also mot convinced by Stevie or agave as I think they both taste like artificial sweetners. My mum wasn't long diagnosed as diabetics when she got a bad strike and was off all solid food for 3.5 weeks sadly. That kinda forced her body into cold turkey as far as sugar etc went and she lost almost 4 stone after 3 months of rehab and a strictly controlled and monitored diet (although I STILL had to warn the medical staff not to give her 0% fat yoghurt, as they simply pump it full of sugar instead.) We had to use the special diabetic yoghurts that were no sugar and very low fat. The ward sister who was a battle axe told me I was talking rubbish so I said " don't believe me, check woth diabetics specialist nurse then) .....who confirmed I was right 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the battle 🪓 was RAGING and stormed off in a huff 🤣🤣 Pity about her 😈
@@sapphire22011 I am so sorry that you had to struggle so hard with health care providers and nurses in particular to get them to listen to you! Nurses and Doctors don't always listen to patients and families and that is so sad and so bad for the patient! You did an amazing job and I am so glad that you were there to stand up for your Mother, protect her. Thank you for all of this valuable information.
いつも動画楽しみにしています😊
くら寿司美味しいですよね✨
はま寿司もメニューが豊富で美味しいので今度行ってみてください☺️
Enjoyable vedeo 😊, watching from hyogo Japan 🇯🇵
I so enjoy your videos LouC. You definitely have a very calming personality. The jewelry is so pretty. I dont wear earrings but those are pretty. I absolutely love the bracelet though. You should always treat yourself! I love the plastic plants and flowers too. They are made more realistic now a days. I have several plastic plants in our home and no ones the wiser that their not real lol. I hope when your new check up is done they find the root of the problem and you get some relief. Be Blessed both of you!
YOU DESERVE AND HAVE EARNED THIS REWARD‼️❤️
I sooo enjoy your TH-cam, NEVER boring, ALWAYS interesting and entertaining....you are Such sweet girl/I wish you Peace, Health, and Joy! ❤❤
Great job. You make it look so easy..😊😊😊
Continue being happy! You’re loved! 💜🩷
Me alegra muchísimo que tengas un compañero de vida Lou,un saludo
Lou. First thank you for the snacks i purchased. I forgot about them so it was a nice surprise 😂 i also have fibromyalgia, it causes widespread pain and fatigue among other issues. A good Rheumatologist can do a touch test to check for it. Getting enough sleep is important but hard to do. Mild exercise, good diet , meditation helps. Good luck. 😊
Love the hidden compartments in the table at the restaurant. Congratulations on TH-cam success.
I admire your patience putting together furniture! I get frustrated so easily with that. 😊 Your new jewelry is beautiful!
For the table and chair legs try instead self-adhesive felt pads. There are many types of chair leg protective caps, which fit better and especially are more invisible and more effective 😊
Hi LouCslife! After grilling anything, just keep it covered for some time. The skin will come off very easily. If you run under the water, you will lose the smokey flavour ❤
Your a lovely young lady, and good luck is coming your way. Stay strong, you have many friends around the world thinking of you!
Beautiful bracelet Beautiful earrings good choose
Every week I hope you upload a new video. With a delicious tea in my hand. Thanks for everything ❤
I hope, your new life will be wonderful. Enjoy it. Please be careful with yourself.❤
Congratulations on your success on TH-cam!
you fully deserve it.
I really like your videos, you can see the change in 4 years 😎👍✨
I would dream of succeeding like you, you are an example to follow.
You are so beautiful Lou ❤ I love your new jewelry 🥰
🌺🌺🌺Congratulations with the new TH-cam milestone.
Beautiful new jewellery
I miss all the open shots you use to share of your apartment layout. I cant imagine your new apartment layout with all the close ups. Not complaining to be rude I just miss that part of your vlogging. 🌺🌺🌺
it is a bit too close up but i guess she is trying to give her partner privacy of his space. but yes it's like looking at hands a lot.
Hi Liu, Retired Registered Nurse here I recommend going to see a rheumatologist first. There is nothing wrong with you psychiatrically that I can see and I have been watching your videos for a long time. A psychiatrist will just give you medicine. Talk therapy might help for support, but probably won't take your physical symptoms away. Also, study up on fibromyalgia and muscle disorders to see what you can do to help yourself. I know that you are already very proactive in your self care. You eat a pretty healthy diet, you exercise, do self affirming messages. Make sure that your thyroid condition is in control. You are hypothyroid since your surgery, correct? Regarding sugar, I can tell that you like sweet things. If you can, cut down on refined sugars. That includes coconut sugar unfortunately. Focus on naturally sweet food like fruits bananas and apples etc. Use those for sweetening if you can. I also occasionally use Stevia. For me, the more foods with added sugar I eat, the more I crave it.
Another retired Registered nurse here. I agree, and consider adding a work out routine that includes stretching and weights. Maybe consider yoga or Pilates. AND sometimes TSH, T3,T4 Labs "within normal limits" Does NOT mean optimal health! Somebody in a class is a 'D' but we want the 'A's ! Normal includes the Ds!
Exercise is key. Part of having fibromyalgia is not just biological and physiological, it is also psychological .
@@shelleylee6354 You are so right! Thank you for your valuable input! I was thinking Tai Chi for exercise too. No hard pounding on the joints or too much muscle stress. I was also thinking about Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, but not sure if it would apply as I believe that Liu was originally hyperthyroid and had surgery for it, then became hypothyroid? Please correct me if I am wrong here.
I love water aerobics for my fibromyalgia. I cut out foods that cause inflammation for me. I have noticed that eating more leafy greens, changing my diet and cutting out extra sugar has helped me from having a flare up.
With your symptoms I would suggest you see a naturopath or acupuncture specialist or both for an opinion. My friend did for his fibromyalgia and she's a changed lady. The last thing you want is to pop pills. Your new home is great. Bushyboy Oz.
Hi LouC!! I am a type 2 diabetic and I have found that Monkfruit drops are the best sweetner for me. I doesn't raise my blood sugar at all, and it will not cause tummy issues like sugar alcohol (xanthun and xylitol). And it is much sweeter than most sugars on the market! You only need a few drops to make anything very sweet. My doctor recommended it...and it's done very well for me. Just make sure it pure and doesn't have the others added. Hope this helps some. ❤
I enjoy watching your videos
Lou, it's us that need to thank you for sharing your life with us. ❤ You have nice taste in jewelry. They look very nice on you.
Ich genieße deine Videos..sie sind so interessant und sehr professionell und toll gemacht. liebe grüße aus Deutschland.
I also see an endocrinologist . I get regular blood work, checkups and ultrasound to monitor the nodules in my thyroid. Everyone has different symptoms and it takes trial and error to find the right medication and dosage. Be patient but persevere in finding a solution.
I liked so much of what you showed us. Your homemade chocolate dessert looked delicious. I thought the pink clock was cute. I was amazed at how well you assemble furniture. I enjoy watching you buy gadgets for your apartment.
I am glad your boyfriend took you out to eat. I liked the jewelry you ordered.
This was a nice clip of your life. Remember, you deserve happiness!
Love your Rhode Island friend,
Cindy
Lou, the jewelry is delicate and beautiful, just like you!!
Love the socks thing!
I am so very happy for you in your life , you deserve all the wonderful things in life. Love from Arizona USA ❤
Hello from Sydney.
Those flowers are so pretty. Dainty & nice.
The jewellery you ordered is so lovely. I love that style aswell. & they suit you too.
In terms of coconut sugar and all these silly negative things they confuse us with; just ignore! You NEED to feel happy! One moment, they say it's bad, the next it's good. The best thing to do is eat & drink what you feel like & everything in moderation. The rest are fear & control tactics.
I would've thought that ice cubes in the tumble dryer made the clothes damp.
I've never tried that either.
I love your storage rack & nice dining table. Well done! 😊
I so enjoy watching your videos. Your personality, the food you make & things you do comfort me.
Lou, i hope you feel better and find out why you arent feeling well. Has your doctor checked your vitamin levels? I live in the US and doctors often dont check them. Ive been having muscle and joint pain, stiffness, fatigue, etc. My dr did finally check my vitamins and i have low vitamin D and low B12 which is causing my symptoms. If you havent already i suggest getting those checked maybe its just a deficiency. ❤
I have used a wet wash cloth in the dryer too.
So nice seeing you enjoy yourself and getting more comfortable show us your beautiful self 😊
Hello beautiful Lou C from USA. It’s a great video. Your new jewelry is beautiful. You are sooo good at assembling furniture. Everyone is so happy you have someone to share your life with. We can tell it makes you happy and if you are happy then we are happy. Much much ❤️
Love the table
Amo tus videos! Te saludo desde Ecuador ❤
Use monk fruit sweetener as your sugar replacement. It doesn’t spike your glucose. Taste like regular sugar and is a 1:1 ratio as regular sugar.
Bonjour Lou, contente de voir une nouvelle vidéo et de voir que vous allez bien. Moi, je n'ai pas trop le moral, je me suis cassée le poignet. Ça me ferait plaisir que vous me fassiez un petit coucou. Voilà, bonne continuation ! Merci Lou ! Amitiés, Isabelle from France ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
10:15. I'll be right over to partake in those tasty Brownies!
Beautiful jewelry.
I'm always amazed at how well you put things together!! Keep working on your health. I hope they figure out what is causing you pain so you can be better! Never heard of the ice cube trick! ❤
Good to see ur happy
Congrats on 200K wow what an accomplishment!! You have come so far and I am so proud of you. You had a lot on your shoulders to carry and you persevered
Hi Lou, you can use pure maple syrup or honey instead of coconut sugar.
Eveything is ok in moderation!
What lovely decorating Lou! Looks great! Love your cooking, everything looks so delicious! Lots of best wishes dear girl ❤
Muscle pain and fatigue are very common with fibromyalgia. I have Hashimoto’s and within a year I had fibromyalgia and rhematoid arthritis. I’m almost 70 now and a cancer survivor. I’ve found gentle exercise, a healthy mainly organic diet that has me eating vegetarian more often, walking and my pet cats all help me. You might find you have a sesitivity to eggplant - it can trigger off muscle pain (both myself and my daughter have this sensitivity). Tomatoes and chillies are in the same group of food. We’re ok with tomatoes but I also have a sensitivity to 🌶️. When I have a fibro flare, I focus on resting and relaxing as stress can be a fibro trigger. Hope this helps.❤
Love your Videos you are a wonderful lady. You keep Us inspired Thank You and may the Lord always Bless You🌻🌼💖🙏🏼😊
Love your new jewelry! You are very pretty with beautiful eyes. Great job assembling your new purchases. Isn’t it fun to decorate a new place and make it feel like home? ❤️✌🏻
I just love watching you n your vlogs, every week i wait for ur new vlog. I love its authenticity, the calmness, richness I can't describe in words. Just keep it up girl. Lots and lots of love to you ❤❤❤❤.
Lou, you inspire & encourage so many. Thank you! Dont take this wrong, but when I saw you putting together your items, all I could think of was the paw patrol song. I have small grandkids. 🤷♀️ It says no jobs too big, no pups too small….there is no job too big for you Lou. You tackle each thing head on & you always keep your eyes on the goal. I admire you for that. Your dessert looked yummy! I loved dinette set & the socks lol. So cute! Thanks for sharing Lou. God bless you both. ❤️
