Behind the videos, this is what 70% of my time looks like right now (4 months micro vascular damage post covid + ME 20 years).

You have my utmost sympathy Vlad. I developed ME in the 1980s so can imagine how you must be feeling. I guess my symptoms might be classed as ‘mild to moderate’, compared to your own , but even they can be challenging at times, so I understand how difficult it must be for you. I do sincerely hope you begin to feel better very soon.
As a carer for a many-year sufferer of Tarlov cyst disease and PPMS I hear you Vlad. As she tells me, you're videos describe her experience so well, even though her symptoms and state are different to yours (although she is housebound and spends 95% of the time lying down)
As a caregiver I think you are allowing us to know you do not have control of this & we just do best we can w/ what we have. Take care of yourself best you can. 🙏🏼
I’m listening to how you feel …. Brings up claustrophobic feelings, I don’t know how you get those symptoms every day but it speaks to your inner strength mentally physically emotionally!! What is strong, resilient, humble, graceful spirit you are Dealing with those symptoms Vlad daily, you are more powerful than you realize ✨✨ You are so funny…. ❤Perhaps God finds your genius grows and deepens when the symptoms are challenging. 🙃
Looks very familiar, but with less rolling side to side and howling, and no video from the bathroom, where much of my life is spent. I feel your pain, brother. Hang in through this downswing - the upside will arrive. When, one rarely knows - so patience must hold firm through such times.
It breaks my heart to see you suffering such Buddy. I have CFS/ME and am on a crash cycle currently and it is awful to see others, particularly those with wit and genius. I'll consult with the universe about it lending a hand. I'm an atheist, so no point in saying god bless, and I also know how futile it is to say get well soon, but, I know that you recognise the sentiment. Looking forward to seeing you on the up.
Vlad do get better soon, your very missed for your humour and great informative blogs. You will get through this terrible time and return to yourself soon 🙏❤🦋
It is not our system, but the more you struggle, your awareness of the Higher Power and Intelligence increases. It is good to hear you talk about the Higher Power, it's character is Love, what is happening to you is Universal, the Universe has no rules, our worst behaviour has it's orignins in the Universe. It is the Universe that will take your life. the Universe can be destroyed, The Higher Power cannot be destroyed. When you can, silent chant I Love, Vlad, I Love (those that concern you,) countries, beliefs. The Highest Intelligence, will not be jealous of your intelligence, we know nothing compared to 'It,' but it is a source of Love, you can merge with it controlling your breathing, exercise, music, reading, thinking is telepathy with this Higher Power. 'It,' is helping you in your struggle.
Love your content. I'm so sorry you're not feeling well. Thank you for sharing these wonderful resources about your condition. I have a milder form of it as well and it's completely derailed me for years. We're in this together. Keep the comedy coming
Vlad, your mental strength is as great or perhaps greater than your genius. And that my friend, enhances your genius ten fold. ;)) Keep giving the gift of you, you have our love and our profound wishes for your healing. xxx
Pace yourself, please, Vlad. Rest up when you need to, we will see you when you're up to it. I'm sure all agree with me on that. Just put yourself first... "the rest can wait!" (To quote my Mama). Wishing to see that 30% increase for you, my friend.
I am so sorry, Vlad. I wish I had some super power to help you and end this torture. You are in my thoughts always and specially when walking, which is every day.
70% of your time... Your mental fortitude and composure in analysis in your circumstances are truly emblematic of the qualities of the great philosophers. Not to mention your philosophy itself. If I were God I'd feel jealous too.
Pain us constant, soul destroying, we with chronic illness, are aware of the limited days free painless ones that make us see the lighting a stronger fame of mind that nothing penetrative ..Stay strong 💪 💪 💪
Glad, I feel so much sympathy for you. I can’t really imagine the continuing suffering. I have felt intense suffering, shingles affecting sciatic nerve, burst appendix, but when I didn’t die of the latter then I was on the road to recovery. It took maybe 4-6 months, but I could tell all along I was getting better. What you are suffering from seems so much worse. And probably like most, I have no idea what I could say, or do (even if I lived next door) except maybe take out the garbage or warm up some chicken soup. My best wishes. Theological concerns such as yours (human suffering) led Bart Ehrman, a biblical scholar/historian-U. Of N. Carolina, Chapel Hill-to give up the faith. Boiled down to its essence, he came to believe it wasn’t fair/just that people seem to differentials suffer so randomly.
Prayers Vlad. I hope you are not afraid of death. You will be ok, free of the weight of this body. It's the process now that's difficult. Your courage and resilience is amazing. You said God was jealous of your brilliance basically. Love your humor. I appreciate your brilliant mind and sharing your thoughts with us. Thank you for all you do for us. I'm certainly not brilliant so I appreciate your thoughts! Hugs and prayers.
God is the one suffering. Not watching you suffer. He is in you. He suffers with you. Hard to acknowledge. Hard to express. Counter Cultural. Sending more love back to you, the one who expresses love in spite of it all. More hope to the one Vlad who expresses hope in spite of it all. More courage ( now who could have more courage than you?!) More truth, more faith more of everything you are that is Him. God. ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏 Scream the lament psalms. It’s ok. You are held. You are loved through it all. In spite of it all. Thank you for all you are Vlad.
god damn, this is your life and _politics_ is what you chose to cover? i guess we don't have much choice in what interests us but mad respect for You my man
My personal religious conviction, is that God only allows the Devil to create suffering in those whom he trusts to retain their innate goodness, despite worldly trials. It is in this way that He shows the Devil that love is stronger than pain. Which it most definitely is. Warm thoughts, my friend.
god is such douche bag. Lots of love. Take care, and get well soon. I have a chronic illness myself, but it has been “dormant” for the last ~15 years. I know what you are going through. There was a time in my life I spent hours of my day in severe pain that I could do nothing about. I feel for you.
This is a little off topic for this video, but I am also very sensitive to medication and usually request a child's dose. It works out much better for me.
I would call ME the result of 3 symptoms. 1. Hypothyroidism, 2. Iron anemia, 3. Low blood volume. Also? In the chronic fatigue condition, you’ll want to strictly avoid vitamin D until the iodine deficiency is dealt with.

Hi Vlad, sorry to see you so uncomfortable. What does the research say about Ketamine treatment and MS? I know Ketamine seems to work across both the psycho-somatic barrier so perhaps there is use for it in the realm of MS. All the best! x.
Just saw this, have not followed you, so just a suggestion. Have you researched Electrohypersensitivity? Many crossovers with ME, medicine does not recognise EHS, so it is ignored. It is real, physiological not psychological. Best wishes.
Dear Vlad I have tried to reach you before. Please believe me try the carnivore diet. I myself have been a vegetarian for 15 years and despite the necessary supplements still got sick. For 18 months I eat only meat, eggs and bacon and I feel so much better, when you don't eat carbohydrates the higher cholesterol level is not bad for humans at all. Believe me study it on the carnivore channels there are many doctors and specialists, because that is necessary to learn why and to be stimulated to keep it up and why it is so much better to get all the vitamins and nutrients that your body benefits from
We love you, Vlad. If only our love could heal you in an instant, you would be up and running a marathon. Hope against hope; the final chapter is not written..💔💔❤️🩹❤️🩹

Sorry, Vlad: I am glad that you are doing better spiritually than I can conceive of for myself, but I am embarrassed that my arthritic finger hit a “G” instead of a “V”. I really did know that you were a Vlad rather than a Glad!

Your humor and grace despite your circumstances is deeply moving.
Your resilience is an inspiration sir.
I hate seeing you suffer Vlad, but I thank you for honestly sharing. Your sense of humor is amazing. Wishing you good health.
Humor is such a wonderful gift.
I think you are so courageous, Vlad. Thank you for sharing. We are all with you.
We love you vlad! Keep your spirits high, I'm with you in my thoughts.
Vlad, I hope you have someone holding your hand and loving you while you are suffering. I am sending you ❤❤❤❤❤.
I wish I could hug you personally to make you feel better man, you are such an inspiration to so many of us ❤
It is heartbreaking to see this Vlad. You remain in my prayers.
Despite all this, you give so much. Thank you Vlad, and thank you for giving us a glimpse of your reality.
Dear Vlad, please 🙏🏻 hold on. I hope you have the best doctors and your family supporting you ❤
We love what you are doing. Nothing more to say. Keep on being present. Always a pleasure talking with you
I see you Vlad. I'm only partially bed bound and it takes pure willpower to get up past the pain. Blessings on your Path. 🌹
Still a sense of humour! Congratulations! 🎉💐 Thinking of you lots! 🙏🏻🫶🏻💪🏻
"Oh. My. God." 💔💔💔 Thinking of you, Vlad
I am so sorry, Vlad, and I wish you a less painful morning tomorrow and the day after and the day after this one... Lots of love to you. 🤗
Sending prayers has obviously backfired. Sending best wishes to you, Vlad.
Thank you for the descriptive words of your suffering. I appreciate you. Thank you for staying in touch and letting us visit with you 🙏🌿🥹☺️❤️
Soooo sorry, dearest Vlad 😢. Anything that might help you understand yourself and your destiny better might be good. Get better soon 🙏
So much suffering. And yet, this weird sense of humour of yours.
Do I dare say it, dear Vlad? God bless. Lots of love to you.
Bless you back!

Thankyou for sharing your journey & willingness to be vulnerable. Sending you much love from your beautiful community ❤
As a caregiver I think you are allowing us to know you do not have control of this & we just do best we can w/ what we have.
Take care of yourself best you can.
🙏🏼
I’m listening to how you feel …. Brings up claustrophobic feelings, I don’t know how you get those symptoms
every day but it speaks to your inner strength mentally physically emotionally!!
What is strong, resilient, humble, graceful spirit you are
Dealing with those symptoms Vlad daily, you are more powerful than you realize ✨✨
You are so funny…. ❤Perhaps God finds your genius grows and deepens when the symptoms are challenging. 🙃
Looks very familiar, but with less rolling side to side and howling, and no video from the bathroom, where much of my life is spent.
I feel your pain, brother. Hang in through this downswing - the upside will arrive. When, one rarely knows - so patience must hold firm through such times.
If there’s one thing us ME sufferers have to learn, it’s patience.
I am so sorry for your pain 🎉🎉🎉
Love your humor
Yes it’s clearly jealousy
Sending ❤
Dear Vlad. Sending you support and healing spirit from Oakland California. Lots of love…
I'm so sorry you have to spend so much time suffering- I really appreciate how much of you precious time you spend on us.
Loved your humour. 🎉
Vlad, I’m sending you much love and wishes from Western Canada .. with daily prayers too for improvement to your health ❤ xx
I wish we could do more for you!
If ever find myself in a shitty situation, I want somebody with your sense of humor nearby
You're right, it's unnecessary. No words.
Sending love to you Vlad.
👍😊
It breaks my heart to see you suffering such Buddy. I have CFS/ME and am on a crash cycle currently and it is awful to see others, particularly those with wit and genius. I'll consult with the universe about it lending a hand. I'm an atheist, so no point in saying god bless, and I also know how futile it is to say get well soon, but, I know that you recognise the sentiment. Looking forward to seeing you on the up.
May the love of your community hold your soul, cradled in tenderness.
I hope we can find a way to treat people with this malady one day soon. Here's to a future of you being able to sit up and talk with ease.
Love to you, Vlad.
My thoughts are with you dear Vlad, hugs to you dear fellow 🤗
Vlad do get better soon, your very missed for your humour and great informative blogs. You will get through this terrible time and return to yourself soon 🙏❤🦋

Thank you for trying to increase awareness of what this illness entails. I hope you get some more life force back soon. Xxx

It's the "devil" who is jealous. ❤❤❤
💛💛💛
Do should not have to endure this.😢❤❤❤❤
Making the goods jealous, what did you expect. I'm hiding my genius for decades now for exactly that reason. So no sympathy from my side.
🤍
You show him who he is messing with!!!
Now I'm angry that I'm in reasonable health because god clearly isn't threatened by my jeeneeus
💔🧡
god is such douche bag.
Lots of love. Take care, and get well soon.

It funny (or sad), but I don’t think them healthy people would understand the reality of ME even after watching a video like this.
This is a little off topic for this video, but I am also very sensitive to medication and usually request a child's dose. It works out much better for me.
Don't worry I feel like that most mornings lol
Dear Vlad, How much vitamin D do you take every day?
I would call ME the result of 3 symptoms. 1. Hypothyroidism, 2. Iron anemia, 3. Low blood volume.
Also? In the chronic fatigue condition, you’ll want to strictly avoid vitamin D until the iodine deficiency is dealt with.
