    We just wanted to give you an update on Dianna’s health, since she’s been sick for a while and may not be returning for longer than we previously thought.
    Her science videos are postponed until she can make a full recovery. We really appreciate everyone's support here on her channel. We know Dianna wishes she could be here making videos and happily physicsing, but right now she needs to stay in bed and away from work until she makes a full recovery.

    Hi Everyone. Please ignore any comments or direct messages of users asking for donations that claim to either be, or work for Dianna. There are some spam/scammers *posing* as physics girl to ask for money. The Physics Girl team will never reach out directly through comments or messages to ask for donations of any kind. Thank you.

      (Levi typing) I can only reply to comments on her channel. I can’t post my own. But please know that even though we are doing our best to report/block any users that do this, there is a lot of traffic so some still try. Again, Patreon is how we are accepting donations. The Physics Girl team will never reach out directly to ask for donations of any kind. Thank you.

    For people wondering, there was an update a few days ago on her Patreon! The news is neutral, i suppose, stating that she hasn't made any significant improvements as most of the progress consists of stutter steps, moving forward then back just as quickly. At the least, it seems that she's improved from where she was when she was first hospitalized, but the recovery doesnt appear to be swift. However, the tone of the post (which asks for cute photos of dogs and words of encouragement) implies that Dianna was able to communicate needs verbally, so that's something. However, if i had to guess, we likely won't be hearing about a miraculous recovery anytime soon.

    I found out about this channel and Dianna when I was just watching TH-cam videos at 3am. In those few short videos, I learned so much more than I could've expected and it filled me with so much joy and curiosity. Then I finally find her channel again only for my heart to break to know that this is happening to her. I pray that she will recover and that she'll be better than ever, and I am so thankful she has so many wonderful people around her looking out for her and providing for her. Hopefully one day I'll open up TH-cam to see that she's better and she can teach us about the wonder of this world again.

      ​@@user-ci6iu5rf4r As far as I know - and please, whoever knows more about this, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong - it's less of a "not being able to feel happy"/"feeling unloved/unlovable", although that can be a result of just not being able to live your life for months or years, as is often the case with ME/CFS, and more a problem of overstimulation/overexertion. Basically, every movement, every emotion, every thought, every sensation takes energy to do/process and for people with ME/CFS the threshold of how much is too much gets lowered. And it's a negative feedback cycle, where everytime you go over the threshold (i.e. push yourself to go to an event or just take a longer walk than you can handle), it can trigger an even worse fatigue (like, a really bad few days right afterwards and a chronic worsening of the condition in the future)

      ​@@user-ci6iu5rf4r They're not the same. I know this because I have both ME/CFS and depressive episodes!
      - ME/CFS commonly arises after an infection of some kind, as opposed to depression.
      - Depression makes life feel meaningless, this is how it saps your energy. You just feel sad and like there's no such thing as having a good day, so there's no reason to get out of bed. ME/CFS makes you physically tired. You feel exhausted in every cell of your body and even though you want to do stuff and are motivated to, you cannot.
      - Depressive episodes usually resolve within ~6 months. ME/CFS lasts a minimum of 6 months.
      - You can get restful sleep when you're depressed, it will just do nothing to improve your mood. ME/CFS makes every morning feel like you haven't slept at all.
      - Light and sound sensitivity are symptoms of ME/CFS, as shown here, but are not symptoms of depression.
      - One of the core symptoms of ME/CFS is post-exertional malaise, where your symptoms worsen substantially after what would otherwise be light exertion 24-48 hours after the exertion. Depression is a constant.
      All in all, the conditions are very different. If you want, there's many resources out there you can google.

I had previously been a long distance runner among other things and I could no longer do a lot of the things I used to do. It was a hard adjustment but I had to kind of redefine who I was. It might be a trite saying about when one door closes another door opens but it can be true as long as you are looking for those new doors and not dwelling on those closed doors (which I struggled with for many years). Just remember that it will get better even though it might be hard to recognize the improvements in the moment. Also remember to cut yourself some slack and realize that you are doing your best and your best will keep improving over time.

    I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and central sensitization syndrome in 2012. I had been sick with what I thought was a bad cold a few months earlier. The first few years were very difficult and I could barely function. But slowly over time my symptoms have improved to the point that (most of the time) I can function pretty normally. I still get flare ups from time to time but they come and go. I’m really wishing for the best for you. I’ve been there and I know it’s hard, but there is always a chance your condition will improve. I sincerely hope that it does.

She showed me that learning is fun and exciting and can always be applied to any aspect of your life. Diana, in my books you're one of the best science communicators.

      @@nonyabeezwax8693 It would be interesting to see how she responds. I have had CFS/ME for over 15 years and used Ivermectin during Covid. I never contracted Covid that I am aware of, was not immunised and none of my friends and family who did the same seem to have got Covid either. That said, I don't think Ivermectin did anything for my CFS/ME but then my underlying cause of this was not Covid.
      My personal take on ME/CFS having had it and met so many with it, is it seems to be a symptom of a great trauma to the body. Usually a bad viral infection but it can also come from chronic stress, medical operations that have gone wrong and other causes.

    This is the second video of physics girl I have seen. I have severe CFS/ ME and fibromyalgia. I live in a dark, quiet, scent free room, too. I have been as severely ill as physics girl. I want you to know that even in severe brain fog, thoughts of you, and all her loved ones, and random memories will be giving her quality of life. You don't have to be with her in person to help. She knows that you are still with her, loving her, supporting her, there for her even if not in the same building. You are still making a huge difference, and helping give her strength through this.
    Being completely without strength, and totally helpless is extremely scary. But, strangely, the longer it continues, it gets easier as you adapt. It becomes the new normal. As long as you know you have enough care to survive. Recovery from that level of severity will take a very long time. I lost nearly all my friends, etc. etc. Physics girl is extremely fortunate to have around the clock care, love, medical attention, and friends as troopers guarding her at the perimeter of her world. Make it clear you will always be there for her as her friend, whether she is functional, or not! After all, we are human beings, not human doings. 💗

      @Frank Rizzo CFS/ ME is most commonly triggered by a virus. I got mine as a kid after mumps, before the mumps vaccination existed! Also before there was such a diagnosis as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ M.E. I was diagnosed retrospectively. I have only been (mostly) bed-bound for the last 7 years, though, and in a dark room (mostly) for 3 years.
      Vaccinations boost the immune response to attack viruses, so a person can still catch the virus, although the symptoms less severe because the immune system is prepared to deal with it from.the vaccination. Vaccinations definitely reduce the risk of Acute Covid, Long Covid and CFS/ ME, but with any presence of the virus, it is possible. Two of my support workers were fully vaccinated, had other conditions, and developed Long Covid.. So yes, it is possible to get Long Covid ME/CFS when fully vaccinatioated, but by being fully vaccinated the chances of getting are much lower. I.hope that made sense, because I can't write more now.

    I have ME/ CFS, and there is a lot of misinformation about it. ME/ CFS isn't getting tired, as in being sleepy like narcolepsy. It's crippling muscle weakness akin to MG/ MS etc., in which they baseline reduces. However, it's more than just muscle fatigue. I've had it for 9+ years. At my worst, I was bedridden for a whole year, unable to tolerate any stimuli; light, sound, touch, temperature, etc. I was left in a cold (constantly 16 degrees Celsius which resulted in frost nip, but I couldn't sweat due to anhidrosis, so I had no choice), dark room, and and earplugs constantly, which resulted in blind spots, and constant tinnitus/ muscle ear syndrome/ phantom sounds. I couldn't talk. I couldn't shower, as every water droplet felt more painful than a tattoo gun (coming from someone who is covered in tattoos). I developed allergies to everything, I did not have allergies to prior. I could not even use my phone, or watch tv to waste time, nor sleep as I had sever insomnia. I just laid, slowly losing my ability to think as my imagination disabled and would send electric shocks down my CNS, and brain cramps if I did. It's hard with ADHD to force yourself not to move. It's not like I didn't want to move, I was restless, and every time I tried, I'd get severe air hunger, and PEM which was a severely crippling electric shock that went down my CNS into my wings, disabling me for moving for hours.
    However, I am mostly recovered (just cannot do extreme exercise everyday without rest), at least enough to live semi-normal due to a drug LDN (0.13mg is my sweet spot), which seemed to have neural anti-inflammatory effect to my HPA-Axis dysfunction (pseudo Cushing's, constant fight or flight).

    This is so heartbreaking... To see such a wonderful person who we are used to see full of life and curiosity in this condition is just... heartbreaking. I don't think there's any other word to describe this.
    I've always struggled with physics in High School and back then I thought that Physics was my mental limit, something I just couldn't understand, so I just gave up on it, getting bad grades because it seemed like an impenetrable wall.
    Then, at around 30 year old, when I started watching Dianna's channel, I realized that I'm actually capable of understanding Physics and I learned a lot, way more than I would have ever thought I could. Dianna helped me realize that that limit was just something the adolescent me created without a reason, and she also made me realize that I enjoy listening to and learning Physics. Every time I watched a video, I felt the need to talk about what I've learned with everyone.
    So, I am really grateful to her, and knowing that she's in this state is just extremely sad.
    I really hope that she gets well soon, so that she can go back to what she clearly loved doing.
    You can feel straight in your soul by watching her videos how much she enjoys sharing her knowledge through her curiosity, how much she feels alive and happy when she makes a video. Her curiosity is simply contagious, which is an incredible quality, and a rare one, too.

Lots of other symptoms can accompany CFS, especially with Long Covid, like POTS where your heart rate skyrockets and your blood pressure plummets when you stand/walk/do activities. Doing some research on what the possible side effects of Covid and looking at Long Covid rates may giver you a better idea of what is going on and why people are stuck in bed. Covid isn't the only way stuff like CFS occurs, it's just a very clear set of people with defined symptoms. Sometimes mental health can also play a big role in symptoms. The brain is a miraculous thing as is modern pharmacology, which allows people to sometimes get better with time.

    I’m so sorry to hear this. I also have ME/CFS, MCAS, Dysautonomia etc.. it was not easy when I was first battling. I was able to see a dr in Boston who gave me my life back. I’m praying you are able to get breakthrough. People don’t understand how dibilitating and awful this is. Sending hugs love and prayers

    I just stumbled across this channel tonight. And boy did it make me cry. Dianna you're absolutely going to get through this. You've got so much support and love, not just from family and friends but also from all of us. And you're hella strong. Thank you for still fighting. I'm going through my own personal turmoil and i feel so defeated despite not giving up. Thank you for being so strong when im sure everything looks and feels impossible. WE got this 💪🏽 praying for you Dianna. Praying for your family.

    As someone who was/is sick for CFS for about 10 years I wish Dianna the best. Her videos helped me learn more about the world even when I could not interact with it in many way. I hope that all of the new research will give us better treatments and understanding of the condition. I hope she will recover soon.

    Dianna and Kyle have all my love and empathy during this difficult time.
    As someone with ME/CFS, I'm grateful for the exposure that Long COVID is bringing to my condition, but I'm heartbroken at the expense to the lives of previously healthy people and their loved ones.
    There are so many informative and practical resources out there for sufferers of ME/CFS. I hope they're able to find something that works for Dianna soon xx

    Omg, my mum has Cfs. I'm sooo sorry to hear this, the struggle I went through looking after her when I was 11 (I'm 26 now) and how it changed my mums life completely. I would like you to know that it can get abit better from here. It takes a very long time and she may be bedridden for a year or more. But please keep your hope with her 🤞

      @rundown132 she got better at managing herself with afternoon sleeps etc, she can go out now but there are times where she can be on that knife edge of being bed bound again. It's a very hard thing to manage, and it's taken many years for her to get to this unfortunately. As far as I'm aware there's no cure (i believe the lightning process does not cure it) and she will always be living with it in some capacity. I'm extremely hopeful for Dianne, it may take a few years though :(

      @RainyDayLady thank you so much, it came as a massive shock to see Dianne and her family are going through the same thing. I have all the hope in the world she gets better and out of a critical condition, and has some recovery ❤️ me and mum have our ups and downs, but so much better than it used to be. You only have one mum, I look after her and she looks after me :) ❤️
