Hi Maaike I am really happy to hear that the meds are helping. I have chronic back pain issues in my lower back from thirty plus years of damage due to endometriosis and severe chronic nerve pain in my neck from damage to my sciatic nerve (this when flared causes weakness in my whole left side and complete loss of feeling from the hip down so I can't walk at all. The pregabalin they gave me for my neck has cured my occasional migraines and tinnitus as a huge bonus 🎉🎉🎉. I was a Registered Nurse in busy acute wards for a couple of decades before I had to stop due to these issues. I used to love to dance which is impossible now without extreme suffering the next few days😢. Life is difficult sometimes when pain is a major issue, so I am glad to hear you're feeling better. When I saw you in Edinburgh thankfully I wasn't in a flare and could walk ok. It's difficult sometimes when you don't look unwell for people to understand how you're actually feeling. Not all disabilities or illnesses are visible. Share whatever you're comfortable with and best wishes x

[@FloatinginDreams]

Yeah such a relief. And I am now being checked out for the thing I told you about that they hadn't ruled out yet. Life can take a different turn.

[@lorainemcgillivray77]

@ I hope you have answers soon. Knowing what is wrong gives so much clarity as to what treatments work and how you will be going forward. This allows you to adjust your expectations and your lifestyle accordingly. I know I am never going to be better than I am now and flares will always be an issue, but at least I know what I’m dealing with and what my limitations are going forward. It’s never going to be ideal and accepting the limitations was hard initially, but I have adjusted and learned to accept them as a part of my journey. x

I almost got emotional watching this because I know how it feels. I'm so happy that they finally found something that can help you keep the pain under control. I've been dealing with chronic nerve pain for more than 3 years and even if it's not always easy to live with it, I've found ways to make my body work with me so I can enjoy life as much as I can. I really hope you get some good news🤞🙏

[@FloatinginDreams]

Yeah very happy but it's early days. I have no clue what will happen if I stop taking them. But that will be a next step.

[@TraXs.]

@FloatinginDreams One good news at a time. The most important now is that you feel better 😊🙏

[@kathleenmoortel5449]

Thank you for sharing this news with us. As somebody who has been off and dealing with psiatic nerve pain I can understand how much of a relief it is to feel better.

[@FloatinginDreams]

It is! Esp because I have felt so 'wrong' for a long time with no answers and I am finally starting to feel like me again. Now I just have to beat this cold.

[@sparkleparticle]

Oh wow. I hope the Dr. visits give you long lasting relief, whether it's medication, the program, or a combo of both. ❤

[@FloatinginDreams]

I hope so too!

[@s.clairegreen9577]

Such good news!! Love this for you ❤

[@FloatinginDreams]

Thanks!

[@S__Kay]

Keep them coming, GRWMs I mean 🙂 Glad you're doing better 🙏

[@FloatinginDreams]

I will be doing one once a month. Planning on doing different themes.

[@ΘεοδωραΜπατιλα]

Good morning Maaike. Thank you for sharing. I suffer from chronic pain the last 7 years. My life has totally changed because of it. I am so happy that you found a solution for your pain. I wish you the best

[@FloatinginDreams]

Yeah I can only imagine how that will go if there is no change. I am very happy there is a change now, but now the quest is for how we can make it last.

[@joanrummell3101]

Oh, Maaika, I'm so happy to hear about your progress and wish you continued improvement with your doctors. Thank you for sharing

[@FloatinginDreams]

Thanks! It all seems to still be improving. 2025 is off to a great start.

[@scorpion-lg4ic]

Im so glad you've found some relief for your pain. I was in a severe car accident a few years ago & I deal with chronic pain as well. It's not fun when it alters your life so completely that you can't do things you enjoy or even just basic things like walking up & down steps. I hope you get some news from your hospital test that sheds some light on it. I haven't purchased any new makeup in a very long time but that Twilight palette is something I've really wanted. I prefer cool tones & it is so different than anything I own. I think your green eye look today is lovely!!

[@FloatinginDreams]

Yeah I hope so too, but things haven't looked this positive in year so I am just happy there seems to be that change.

[@lisanutini5183]

Gosh I hope you’re closer to a solution. Chronic pain is hard. Love the look. And oh I love those sweaters. They’re classics

[@FloatinginDreams]

It is! Esp. because doctors have been reluctant to help me as well.

[@sherrypettit5552]

Good news! Love my stash

[@FloatinginDreams]

Thank you!

[@marytaylor8482]

First I want to say how much I enjoy your channel! You and I share a similar skin tone and preferences and I've discovered many new loves thanks to you! Secondly, I am sad to hear about your situation and all the things you've had to go through to try to find a resolution. I guess living in the U S with it's plethora of specialists is something we Americans take for granted. Your story reminds me of an old friend who suffered with chronic pain until someone finally diagnosed her with fibromyalgia. I hope you continue to feel better and do the things you want to do minus pain ❤

[@FloatinginDreams]

Let's hope so! Glad you enjoy my content.

[@SarahMcNabb16]

Sorry to hear about your back

[@FloatinginDreams]

Thanks!

[@robinschimka1947]

Im here!!!❤..might even do my makeup with ya..lol..that's always 😁

[@FloatinginDreams]

That was my intention with this one.

[@MariePascal82]

Hi Maaike, sorry to hear about your chronic pain. I have had chronic back and neck pain for years due to a spine disease (like scoliosis) The only answer they can offer me is physical therapy, but exercising only makes the pain worse. The health care in my country is bad, so I don't get a lot of help and I haven't tried much, since they won't cover much. Anyway, I hope your condition continues to improve. 🤞 You are pretty with and without makeup, but I enjoy watching your GRWM, I always learn something new.

[@FloatinginDreams]

That was the answer I got for years as well. Every time I tried to move more as recommended I would get a huge flare up. Even from the exercises given by physical therapy.

[@kimpelders4996]

Lieve Maaike, wat naar dat je zoveel onverklaarbare klachten hebt in je lichaam. Dat moet zo frustrerend zijn. Ik hoop dat je gauw duidelijk krijgt en goede hulp 🙏❤ gekke vraag...maar komt uit een goed hart. Zijn je klachten begonnen vóór of na de C vaccinatie? Wellicht ervaar je bijwerkingen. De lijst daarvan is nl gigantisch. Ook ontstekingen door het lichaan, auto immuun reacties enz enz. Heel veel beterschap ❤❤

[@FloatinginDreams]

Nee ik had dit al voor de vaccinaties en mijn 1e coronabesmetting.
