how the hell didn't i get to put even a single finger down😭

I’ve never been more grateful to not live in the USA

The fact out of all those questions only one of them I have never had happen to me

Me tooooooo! 1st open heart surgery when i was 14 in 1989.

Every single finger down LOLOL 😂 😭 And that says a lot being as I’m still a teen 😭 😂

I’m sorry for everyone that has to go through that I have the fear of leaving my house without anything that I need because if I have a seizure or anything else I won’t have it or I’ll be out in public for everyone to see

No not fine. Its ok to reach out. You know this. Bad, bad day. Loving on you. ❤

This is me Thankyou Lindsey for being you darling xxx

Meeee😭😭😭sorry girly pop. I wish I didn’t know exactly how you feel. I live with five chronic illnesses that all work together to make my life a living hell.

I’m sorry Lindsay. I’ve been struggling a lot lately too but your channel has helped me a lot. Sending love and spoons

I’m sorry. I definitely do not have as worse as a problem as you. But I have recently been diagnosed with an auto immune disease and it’s changed my life. I’m sorry you have to go through that, we can get through this stuff together ❤

I go through this a lot. Just know you aren’t alone we are here if you need to talk

Hope you feel better soon. Please promise you’ll never do anything bad to yourself 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂

Sometimes I forget how hard it is since I was diagnosed with my first chronic illness as an infant; even as I grow older and develop more illnesses and symptoms, I forget to grieve because this is how it’s always been. So, from someone who’s spent their whole life ill, take your time, it’s okay. You’re not a burden, you’re just sick.

So happy that you were able to enjoy your Christmas holiday. Also Happy New Year. I too have seasonal affect disorder. I get down being indoors n with less daylight. Hope you let us know how the therapy light you got is. Thanks for sharing. You do look pretty in pink.💞💞

I love how strong you are about your illness it makes you yourself when you arent embarresed about it for the longest time i was embarresed about mine. I had a brain tumor and it caused me to have what they thought was absence seizures but turns out they are focal siezures that i have

You're so pretty!!!

You look like Jennifer Lawrence in a way

oh my word where people make you feel like you are choosing to be in the wheelchair because you're not paralyzed ... and say you can just stand up or walk you're just lazy. there are many other debilitating symptoms which make it dangerous to walk and need to be in a wheelchair lol.

Unrelated to this video but im just super proud of myself, my new year resolution was to advocate for myself more and I just pushed for custom orthotics and braces for when im more ambulatory with my physio and its all thanks to you!! ❤️🥄

Me: I’ll faint 😃

For me, I can walk a short distance before I need my wheelchair. I struggle very hard, it’s exhausting on my body. I hate it when I get dirty looks when I’m out and about. Even being told I don’t look disabled and if I can walk, I don’t need a wheelchair! 😅 It’s almost a year since my accident that left me permanently disabled. It’s humbling. From gym rat to 23yr old bed rester. 🤣

Literally like I’m sorry I literally can’t ??

Pls don’t ever disturb a working dog at all

Looks really cute 😊

Those are so cool!

I hate flare days but you got this I believe in you

I’m flaring too :( Sending spoons! 🥄

Things I learnt when I became chronically ill is understanding and having respect and sympathy because you never know what someone else is going through

Also flarinh, sending love and spoons! x

RA since age 13. Chronic migraines, IBS/IBD, Reynault's Syndrome, and a host of other chronic illnesses. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Plan accordingly, rest often. 💗

I do this too when going outside is too hard. I’m struggling a lot with my depression as well. Sending you love and spoons!💚🦓🥄

So pretty! Hope you're feeling better.🫶

It’s cute, it creates volume and movement. I can’t sleep with this though

it’s crazy how many people think being in a wheelchair is an open invitation to touch us unprompted.

Thanks for this! Im disabled and chronically ill but I don’t use a wheelchair. I try and be as kind and respectful as I can, but these types of videos are always helpful.

I’v been sick for a while now. I miss being able to CLEAN. It sounds ridiculous I know.

Seeing others deal with flare up days makes me feel less alone. Although I don’t really deal with physical illness, I have multiple chronic mental illnesses, and I’ve had two flare up days in a row. Thanks for sharing this video!! You are so strong and I love your pets!!

Take time to feel your feels? Okay, angry. A year and a month later and I'm angry. I don't have time for chronic illness.

I agree there is no reason that a service dog should be distracted from his or her handler while on duty and tasking without permission

As someone who is declining and heading down that path, thank you for sharing this❤️‍🩹 Rollator works for now and a lot of these things still apply. Especially when your young❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

This was an incredible video. Thank you. I hope more people who need this kind of advice get to see it.

What are some things that you should say and should not say to someone who is a wheelchair user

I just love how your dog is always there with you. 🫶🥹

The grief one is super important. Not processing that and just leaving it without allowing yourself to grieve can cause so many problems, including multiplying the severity and symptoms of most chronic illnesses. Focusing only on the grief is not great either, as it will cause depression (therapists are great for finding the balance and helping you process if you find a decent one). The other thing I’d say is to be willing to speak up for yourself at appointments or bring someone who really knows you that will. Many doctors are dismissive of a lot of chronic illness and pain symptoms, so be willing to not let them drop it or dismiss it without doing something about it. Eventually you will find the good doctors who are willing to listen and help, but it can take years to build a good healthcare team and you need to survive until then so advocating for yourself is key. There are also actual professional patient advocates you can hire (usually I’ve heard this is done before lawsuits but I believe you can still call and ask questions regardless) via insurance or on your own that Ms l can help you get what you need.

If only ME/CFS lead to getting any specialist medical providers in the UK that dont just diagnose you, give you pacing tips and then discharge you. Also because theres so few specialists, even private healthcare is not really an option. Its sucks because GPs have no idea about the condition, so theres very little help 😢

Happy new year 🎉

I have HEDS POTS and epilepsy. It sucks!!!

Here’s to 2025 hope this a better year and I am sending wishes for everyone to have a good year even if it isn’t just no your not alone and you got this done ever stop smiling beacuse then your telling your self it’s a bad year it’s not a bad year if you still keep on smiling you got this and I love you have a good 2025 🥳🎉
