I don't know you personally, but your story resonated with me so much, I'm so sorry that you had to deal with pain for so long... And to have two kids in meantime - really impressive. And as someone before said, the way you told the story was so beautiful. I hope your channel grows as it is a pleasure to listen to you.
Thanks so much! I feel so blessed to be in such a better place right now. I don't know if I'll ever need more brain surgery, or have constant pain again, but for now, I enjoy every moment! Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Nadyne Thanks! The past several months have been a huge blessing for me. I haven’t felt this good in a decade and a half! I don’t know what tomorrow will bring, but the right now is lovely.
God Bless you! You’re one strong woman. I’m glad you’re doing so much better! I just stumbled upon your channel, I’m looking forward to watching your videos. Your skin is beautiful!
Cristhiane Morineau Thank you so much! I love skincare, and hope to show some of that here! I’ve been working on making more videos each week, and you should find two uploads a week: Monday and Wednesday. Thanks for watching!
I wish I had words. I'm not being dramatic but truly, this is a book waiting to be written. Your family survived, your marriage survived. Your husband! The book should be one chapter by you, next chapter by him, from beginning to present. It's amazing you chose (or surprise?) to have children while in such pain. You took us through this with such eloquence and in a way we could understand. YOu really don't need to answer this but was therapy for you or family therapy involved. How did everyone, as a family unit, cope? Again, these are really rhetorical questions. I'm happy you're back because I'm always happy when I see a beauty YTer make a return but now that I know you're story, I'm more than happy as that means your life is back. Cheers, Lulu
Lulu On Beauty Thank you so much. When I try and explain it to people, it feels like a book. I have what I call the Mythical Unicorn of men: the one you always hear about, but never think is real. Here's such an amazing man, husband, and father. For nearly five years he did everything. All meals, all laundry, all special events with the children. He brought me all meals in bed, drove me to my doctor's appointments when I couldn't, and never complained. I have been in therapy for the past two years. One year before my operation, I was put on a antidepressant that was incompatible with my brain chemistry, and in four weeks I went from my normal self to a very different person. I wasn't able to sleep, concentrate, and was having very dark thoughts. One day I called my husband at work after having picked up my kids from school, and was crying on the phone telling him I had to go. He came right home. When he did, I ran outside in the rain without a coat in my bare feet. I was leaving. I didn't know why, but I had to go. Now when I look back at it, I can see that the new medication my primary care physician put me on weeks before, was having a seriously negative effect on my life. My husband coaxed me back into the house, called a friend to watch our children, and then took me to the ER. It too ten more days after my medication was changed to get back to what was normal for me during that time. It was then that I started to see a therapist. (that was October 2016) I couldn't have made it through without my husband. After that scary episode, it was then that my husband begged me to reconsider finding a new specialist. The first three years after my 2005 surgery, I saw nearly a dozen other doctors. Some couldn't find anything wrong with me, others didn't believe me. There were so many times that it was suggested to me that it was all psychosomatic. (all in my head) The idea of seeing another specialist, and hearing "there's nothing wrong/I can't find out the problem" was terrifying. I'd been avoiding doctors because no one could help. I'm so grateful my husband encouraged me to see someone else, and my Neurosurgeon turned out to be such an amazing doctor. My recent surgeries have truly turned my life around. Thank you so much for your reply. I wasn't sure putting this out there was a good idea. I'm glad you watched it and felt the emotion I was trying to convey.
