Caring Medical Week 5 & 6 // Prolotherapy Round 3 (PRP) and Jugular Vein Compression

[@Worldwheelchairwarriors]

Wow. Congrats. I see a Neurosurgeon on Tuesday. I'm so used to the doctors telling me "nothing is wrong with you, go home". I don't know what to expect from this appointment, I really don't. I think I gave up a long time ago. There is a part of me that feels I will live this way permanently. But this journey you have been on has given me a glimmer of hope. Good luck and keep up the healing!

[@iammellbell]

I can't believe how low your numbers were when you first went in it's absolutely crazy and it is so exciting to see the improvements you've had and also so exciting to see the difference that wearing the neck weights make It's so crazy! And so exciting! Love you

[@amandacontreras5467]

Hi Rachel 👋🏼 I’m so glad you are seeing improvements in your health and even though you didn’t do an eating update I just have to tell you that even the way you talk has changed! You have more energy when speaking, I noticed this right away and just wanted to tell you in case this is one of the subtle changes that sometimes a person doesn’t catch and I think is another small victory for you 😃

[@ratfacekick]

Please, please, please get in touch with a CIRS doctor. And read Jennifer Brea's blog on CCI and mold illness. Moldy buidings cause massive cytokine release and subsequent inflammation that can damage connective tissue in 20% of us with specific HLA genes. Your neck is a symptom that unfortunately created new symptoms, but it's not the base cause. I loved this series, thank you for bringing us along for the ride.

[@dustyfeller]

That’s an amazing change and difference on your jugular calibers! I’ll watch this again. I’m so glad that you’re chronicling your Caring Medical journey here.

[@iheartyeshua]

NICE overwhelmingly hopeful is a great place to be. I’m still just starting to share videos on my journey. I just got the doctors to agree on an upright MRI with flexion and extension, it’s a long road.

[@shlomitbahtmoshe7786]

Glad to see you again😊 love your transparency and awesome attitude! Your a special lady. God sent.. your definitely keeping me on track and helping with the negative moments. Stay sweet and I expect you’ll have a timely full recovery. As a man thinketh so Is he. We can do this💙💙

[@njdevil900]

Hope you feel better and get recovered fully. After my second treatment my pain have gotten worst than before still taking meds. Hoping for the best

[@matthaines4249]

My heart goes out to you, im having compressed jugular veins too aswell as a hoist of neurological problems from post concussion syndrome and a whiplash injury, had long term forward head posture and a hunchback before getting in a wreck looking forward to seeing your progress

[@thetremulant]

How did you get the compressed jugular veins diagnosed?

@@thetremulant my upper cervical chiro said he noticed it on my MRI from c1/c2 not sure if he was lying or not definitely dont feel like im.getting good blood flow to my head

[@thetremulant]

@@matthaines8136 interesting. Just wondering if you knew what he saw to make him think that. Like did they seem narrowed or something? Also, was your mri upright or laying down? Just wondering, as I've had a lot of similar diagnoses to you.

[@sun-bleachedbones6027]

So so happy to see that you’re on such a promising path of healing! Hope is something I see very little of in the chronic illness community and it breaks my heart. Your videos are so real and life-giving. You’re brave enough to trust in God, try new things, and have hope, no matter how bad things are in the moment. That’s so encouraging to see. I’m looking forward to healing for you, myself, and all of your viewers. God bless.

[@richardsydnor9978]

You had me worried.. it’s just me. I didn’t realize even how bad I’ve been poisoning my mind with what I thought was good food. I’ve made sure Tara eats well, nothing but good food in her. The way I packed my lunch 🤦🏼‍♂️ I’m aware now on my lunch packing 😂 been getting headaches for 2 days without the crap I’ve had nothing but headaches etc but feeling better at same time. If that makes sense. Anyway, Tara has been really bad but we’re gonna be ok. Her weights came in Tuesday and her mind is so vulnerable due to 17 months of this, she put them together wrong and I believe she caused a subluxation of a vertebrae. It’s gonna be ok though. It’s tough condition on the patient and hard on all family members. Hauser is gonna have you right young lady 💪 so happy to hear this video!! Blessed be!!

[@crickethighlightssmasher2209]

Plz reply🙏 I'll be really grateful. Did you face blurry vision, Dizziness, visual snow, double vison for these jugular vein compression?

[@shonna79]

This made me so emotional for you. I feel like you are going through exactly what I would be. Your boyfriend melts my heart. I feel like my husband is beginning to dislike me and my "issues" 😥 We are also trying to figure out how to get me out there to Caring Medical. Any pointers would help so much, I know this is is so costly. SO HAPPY FOR YOU ❤

[@shonna79]

Jakes "WE DID IT" had me sobbing. Yall are so amazing ❤

[@valdo4842]

Sorry hear what your going through with your support side of things! I too suffer from Cervical instability am a patient also of Caring Medical am flying to Florida on Mar the 3rd for my 5th treatment am still struggling specially since I don’t have support my wife gave up on me in September she just Abandon me completely. I actually pay someone to come with me unfortunately. What am trying to say is it can always get worse so cheer up and do wat you have to do to get the help. At the end of the day all we have is our health. God Bless

[@shonna79]

@Valdo bless your whole heart!!! No one understands unless they live it. I try so hard just to get knocked down. I lost my only lifeline to income 2 weeks ago as well after putting years of my heart into it. It just seems like when things go bad, they all do and at once. Than you for sharing, your story gave me some hope. I sure hope you get the relief you deserve ❤

[@3twooneaction]

Aloha Raechel. Thank you for sharing your story over the years and being such an inspiration. You’re awesome!! . I’m living with almost the exact same issues as you are and wanted to let you know I very much appreciate you explaining your situation so well. You helped me alot. The other day I looked at your KZbin and I saw you there at Caring medical during the same time in December and January for prolotherapy. Would have been awesome to meet you guys and exchange stories. I’ve had two treatments so far, I’m back on Maui now recovering. The flights make my intracranial hypertension unbearable. I’m creating a video documentary on my health journey with the hopes that the information will help others and to educate people. I would like to speak with you sometime if you’re up for it. Would be awesome to speak with someone who can actually relate/empathize and possibly share ways of minimizing symptoms and improving overall quality of life. God bless you guys! Mahalo for sharing your stories!’

[@rebeccalawrence7415]

Changes in your jugular especially with weights are amazing! So happy it’s going well for you. Just out of interest, did they see a difference in your jugulars between supine and upright?

[@jimhull4885]

I’m soooo happy for you!

[@HealingWithRachael]

Thank you so much!

[@EternalHeavenlyOne]

Dear Rachel, amazing your story, your courage, your strong spirit. Thank you so much for sharing your heart and story. You help so so many many. May I ask you a question: do you suffer from nerve pain around head area, Neuralgie? What do you take to get release from it?

[@JaneBramucci]

Just jumping on and fascinated. My 22 yr old is in ICU in Boston since heart surgery since Aug 2nd. Has Intercranial hypertension. I know it's a blood flow thing . No ultrasound done. DNRS sounds great also

[@celestewatson7836]

Thank you for sharing!

[@simo-dv5xk]

How long did the initial PRP injection take to start taking effect?

[@nanook8477]

Hey Rachael! So glad to hear of the massive improvements! That’s such great news. Did Dr Hauser rule out any jugular compression caused by the styloids specifically? Is there enough space so that they don’t interact with each other? I’ve heard that Dr Hauser recommends that the styloids are removed if they are compressing the jugular veins of course. I hope they aren’t an issue for you at all. Super hopeful for your continued healing 😊

[@tracykeelan8534]

If you are not already doing so, you might consider tVNS? Many TENS devices can be dialed in and cost only about $70.

[@karlinhahf]

Lovely!!! Whats the difference between prolo and PRP???

[@karlinhahf]

@Floyd. B thank you so much. So PRP is best option? Or you need both?

[@jodiemills788]

Did you get bad tension headaches with your neck?

[@shonna79]

Rachel, when you first started the neck brace did you notice any weird symptoms? Also did the Florida heat bother you at all? That's my biggest fear is SUMMER 😥

[@dutyofcall7659]

Hey Rachael, I have done prolotherapy just today for my cervical spine and experience some light headaches, is that normal?

[@staceypollack808]

I’m happy that you recovered I know how debilitating this is. Unfortunately I can’t relate to c0-2 fusion and caring med and than call them miracle workers. You were fused. If I watched you go from stage 1 and healed just from them this would be a whole other ballgame. I’m happy you found your way back though. Keep in mind while posting these, most aren’t fused and there is no comparison.

[@HealingWithRachael]

I’m not sure what you mean by that. Having a fusion makes the treatment more complicated (it’s more difficult to have success with treatments after being fused). I wish every day I didn’t have the fusion. Megan Klee is a great example of someone without a fusion that had an incredible recovery without a fusion (she has lots of youtube videos on her experience 😊). I’ve met many others, too. All the best!

[@wardy1461]

What symptoms do you get when u travel ?

[@larryrobinson1399]

Glad things seem to be going well , I’d be curious to know what level your vitamin d is at , for 3 years and 6 doctors no one checked my vitamins and low d can cause sooooo much with neck pain and headaches and a huge range of issues , they always told me my “blood work” is good but here I’m very low in d and it’s not in a normal blood work up .. good luck to all

[@larryrobinson1399]

All do respect have ya ever got your vitamin d ran or b12 such a easy fix sometimes for a lot of symptoms and sooooo over looked

Whot chiari malformation with syrinx problem

[@vandraws]

Amazed to hear about the progress on your jugulars, congrats! I've heard about DNRS/the Gupta program (both very similar) and have been considering them too... Long covid advocate/filmmaker Gez Medinger appeared to vouch for these programs as a part of his own healing journey. He interviewed a creator of one of the programs on his KZbin channel, it's really interesting stuff.

[@HealingWithRachael]

Thank you so much! Yes for sure, there are a lot of amazing stories out there with DNRS/Gupta. I have been considering Gupta as well and think if DNRS goes well, I may end up trying Gupta too to see what I like best. I'm starting to think it might be a really important thing to address for many chronic illnesses.

[@vandraws]

​@@HealingWithRachael I hope it helps you and I would be interested to hear your experience with it! I have seen a lot of negative perceptions of DNRS in the CI community, as I'm sure you have, but I think that comes from the fact that many of us have been told that it is "all in our heads" and dismissed, etc for some amount of time. So while it is an understandable response, it may be misguided. I don't think that these programs are promoting a psychological basis for chronic illness at all, but rather a physical brain (limbic system) feedback issue/pattern that can perpetuate or exasperate some symptoms. I am admittedly skeptical of it as a sole means of healing longstanding or complex illness, but it seems like a wonderful adjunctive therapy!

You said you were on the carnivore diet are you strict on the carnivore or kind of lazy and what symptoms have you seen getting better from eating carnivore do you also incorporate electrolytes because I know they say that they can throw off your electrolytes doing the carnivore

[@HealingWithRachael]

I’m very strict with the diet! I’m doing the lion diet version currently with just ruminant meat and salt. I do take unflavored electrolytes with all the water I drink. It was definitely a hard and long transition but it has very worth it. I have a new channel called “Ribeye Rach” where I’ve shared some more about my experience with it ❤️
