Health Update - Brain Injury & My Eye Turns Off…

[@syedhassaanmujtababokhari6199]

Dude, you could be the pioneer to review these medical devices like the ball. You have the first-hand experience needed to determine which product is the best at a given problem. Sending prayers, hope you get better soon.

[@KanaievenTokyo]

What a great idea and niche as well. All the best Jon

[@J_Hills]

Great idea. I hope he sees this!

[@SuperSaf]

Thanks for sharing Jonathan, can't imagine how tough it's been for you.

[@Tarik1996]

This seriously breaks my heart! You've always been my favorite tech youtuber and people don't know what role you played in helping people like MKBHD and Austin Evans to get a kickstart. Just wanted to let you know that we are rooting for you and wish you the best! Stay strong brother!

[@StewartWani]

As a tech junkie who's been watching your videos since like 2012, the son of an ophthalmologist, and now a medical practitioner myself, I'm really interested in your journey on multiple levels. These videos are taking a whole lot of complex medical concepts and really breaking them down in a brilliant way for everyone to understand, and they do a great job in advocating for a whole host of neurological conditions. You're an absolute hero, Jon; keep up the brilliant work, and all the best as you continue your treatment.

[@timthesheriff]

Praying! 🙏🏻

[@MercyMax07]

Wishing you better days and thank you for sharing your health journey, stay strong and positive ... really love your videos please keep creating and letting us know how you are doing.

[@charlesdy4476]

The fact that you are documenting all of this while going through it is crazy admirable man. Speedy recovery!

[@cablecartman]

Can only imagine the rock bottom days you must be going thru; but so much respect for getting thru them. The amount of grit and determination that must be required is more than most of us can comprehend. Serious kudos.

[@Chamalshadilmin-20y]

Hi

[@junyaiwase]

People underestimate how much medical costs are. But you got this bro. The determination in your spirit is a good chunk of what u need to fight this. Best of luck man

[@tooobe12345]

Only in 'merica (of the western world at least)

[@bndopp]

You are incredibly good at distilling this difficult medical information into something understandable for us common folk. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.

[@555BRYAN]

I pray you recover safe and soon 🙏

[@qasimqureshi3289]

Because of you I decided to study medicine with the goal of becoming an ophthalmologist. These videos have seriously impacted me. Thank you Jonathan.

[@KORHaku93]

you are an absolute warrior Jonathan. I can't even comprehend the level of true grit you carry on a day to day basis. I've been subbed to you since the early early days and will continue to support you however it may be. You are a good man brother, stay up. Cheers from Toronto and a happy new year.

[@SimplyPops]

I pray for a speedy recovery!

[@Mcsnoman92]

Thanks!

[@Geezman1977]

The clarity and calmness with which you explain your situation is quite frankly impressive. I had to pause the vid several times to just process your spoken word so that my mind can realize how freaked out I would have been had I have the same situation. Keep on the good fight. This will surely help someone out there, and that is something to be absolutely proud of.

[@Jakob-Meier]

Stay Strong

[@dillonjohnson7833]

So happy you’re getting better. You’re going to change lives with these videos

[@RyanRoth-p4q]

Hey man, love your content. Praying for your health. You have a real talent and ability to teach and story tell... Stay strong brother!

[@JesseDriftwood]

❤❤ good to see your face man

[@joakimscholdberg8700]

I get that what you are going through I can not grasp... May God be near you and heal you. Blessings!

[@vilicles]

I can’t imagine the energy it must’ve taken to make this video. Sending positivity and hope your way. Get better soon, Jonathan.

[@oski90059]

I had shingles when I was 21 (the youngest my docs had seen!). I had a sore on my right eye, and I remember needing to see, in an emergency manner, a specialist. He did warn me that they needed to inspect the sore because potentially that sore could cause blindness in said eye, and I have been an eyeglass/contacts wearer already for the majority of my life. I was lucky, it wasn't affected. Hearing your story, I can relate to the parts I can relate to, and my heart goes out to you in the things that I was lucky enough to get away from. I am not "immune" from shingles coming back in the same places later in my life again, so I am learning a lot from this video. Thank you so much for sharing, and I know several of us are with you.

[@jessicabruno2820]

I like these videos because they really highlight not only living with a disability but how life changes when one has a serious injury or disability, how difficult it is to then carry on, to manage the things adults need to manage and just live in some sort of fulfilling way. People who haven't been through it don't get what a mind job it really is. What hit home for me in this video was when you said 'if i could just have X without Y or Z or Y without X or Z' and 'if I could just have ONE day off'. I feel that so much. It's horrible. I don't get one, my other half doesn't get one (we both have chronic illness with associated disability) and it's just brutal and wears you down. Jonathan, I hope and pray you will get your day off, or at least a day soon that's mostly free of the torment. I'll continue to watch, like and comment both to support you and to help the algorithm send this out to as many people as possible because it helps people begin to understand life with disability and/or chronic illness. Very well done to you for making this.

[@rafaeltorovip]

As a legally blind person from birth, I just can imagine how difficult for you have been living with vision limitations after living with good vision for most of your life. I hope you get better and can improve your life. 🙏

[@whatelsewouldyoudo]

Hey Jonathan, thanks for sharing your story. Hope you'll recover soon and also help others who are experiencing the same.

[@ErikSantana]

Recovery is a long, hard road. I had a virus attack my heart, viral myocarditis, and that thing took a big toll on my life. Just know there is light at the end of the tunnel. Hang in there.

[@MarquesBland]

15:17 made me have to pause to collect myself. Man I cannot imagine how awful this is. Thank you for sharing your story and teaching us all about this.

[@finefuturity]

It is so great to see you both documenting your journey AND the reality of dealing with chronic illness day in and day out. I deal with a completely different kind, but seeing you fight as you do just gives me inspiration. Take it one day at a time, one step at a time. You’re doing great ❤

[@ELJefeReviews]

Going to continue to keep you in my prayers brother.🙏🏼

[@StayConnectedEV]

Hey Jonathan I live with Ocular Lyme damage. It went undiagnosed and finally i found a opthomologiist who saw a hemorage in my retina which has not fully broke thankfully. I have to see him every 6 months and went on as large journey studying lyme disease and co-infections.. The best advice is having your support channel in place and use your friends and family to talk with.

[@wanharisbob7724]

Thanks

[@anu7705]

Get well soon.God Bless You.

[@GramKnight]

Thanks

[@Yanpatan]

Wishing you a speedy recovery ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@007keyboard-warrior]

Why do nice people suffer ultimately. I feel terribly sad tbh. You were one of the best tech KZbinrs early on in your career. You would give MKBHD a run for his money back then and you literally helped him and Austin get into their careers. More power to you. I wish you the best.

[@GardenGuy1942]

I feel gaslit

[@nunodeazevedo]

All the best from Mozambique. Hope for a fast recovery 🙏

[@scottsimmons6814]

Wishing you a speedy recovery and a return to perfect health.

[@idontgetnotifiedaboutrepli2332]

Isn’t it mean to wish someone something you KNOW won’t happen because said person told you so? The scars in his eyes will remain, at the very least. That’s not perfect health again.

[@equivalentexchangeisalie5726]

@@idontgetnotifiedaboutrepli2332 What are you on about?

[@ZainMalik-qd6fj]

​@@idontgetnotifiedaboutrepli2332It's more about showing kindness and sympathy. Seriously what is wrong with you that you think wishing someone returns to perfect health is malicious in any way?

[@ronalle]

Thank you for sharing your journey. So inspiring. Bests of wishes during your recovery.

[@patriciasmith3464]

this sounds so intense. I'm so sorry you're going thru this. but I love that you're making videos about it because you can really educate people on this stuff, which is terrifying and fascinating at the same time. I think you're really gonna help a lot of people by sharing your experiences. I really hope things get better for you!

[@ielsayed]

Thank you for sharing, Jonathan. Incredible insights. Sending prayers and hope.

[@festivekamikaze]

hope you get better!

[@BrianLera]

I’ve had some eye problems that have came and gone throughout my teenage and now into adult life. I cannot imagine this man. I’m praying for the both of us that we are completely healed 💯! A total body restoration and you’ll be coming out with such an amazing testimony. You got all of us here on KZbin backing you. 🙌🏼

[@mahadevovnl]

Also TBI here (frontal lobe syndrome): If you suffer from issues like extreme emotions (like anger) and impulsiveness, ask your psychiatrist about using Depakine (valproic acid). It's used for something else entirely, usually, but in my case it's a difference between night and day. It gave me full control of my emotions again, instead of being completely overwhelmed by them.

[@mohawho8251]

one of the very first english speaking techtubers ive watched in my childhood, if not the first, guys like you have had a substantial impact on the course of my life, i am very appreciative of the work youve done throughout the years and the value you provided for all of us, may Allah grant you a speedy recovery and a very happy life. love you man

[@dacmister]

As an eye care professional who also had a run in with a herpetic infection in my face only recently myself, also currently dealing with it now, I feel for you. You did an amazing job of explaining vision concepts for the audience. I love when you quoted the terms ambient and focal vision. I was screaming it to myself when you were describing the concepts. And the ability to change either accommodation and/or con/divergences is called facility, which is very taxing on the visual system especially since you're essentially doing BOTH since you're working on your binocularity. Will be praying for you, brother. I am envisioning a Jonathan back in action making more thoughtful videos like current and past c:

[@NathanWilkinsonTed]

Thanks for sharing your journey and struggle! Praying and rooting for you 🙏

[@ElliotNg]

It fills my heart to watch what you're going through, Jonathan. However, I wanted to say that this video is the best storytelling I've seen about what my mom might be experiencing. She had a stroke that affected her left field of vision. Your insights are genuinely helping others. I'm so impressed with your understanding of your conditions and dedication to rehabilitation! Thank you! Believe! I know it’s painful, but you are an inspiration!

[@timthesheriff]

I’m praying for you and your recovery, Jonathan. I’m so sorry that you’ve suffered so significantly. 😢🙏🏻

[@accordinglyryan]

Massive props for sticking it out and working through such an enormous challenge. Wishing you nothing but the best Johnathan!

Hi Jonathan 👋I am so glad that you uploaded new video. I appreciate that you are sharing and documenting your difficult journey with your health. You are such a great story teller that I learn so much from your content both tech and health issues. I know it is difficult for you, please don't give up and keep fighting..

Hoping you recover quickly, my friend. Wonderful that you are sharing this information with others.

It’s so great to hear from you. I’m so happy to hear that you are making progress. Keep going stay strong and hopefully you will recover soon. Take care and stay safe. You will always have my support.😊❤

[@haydenpayne4844]

I had shingles on my head at the age of 12. It was the most horrendous pain I have ever encountered I couldn’t sleep I couldn’t breathe without my head being affected. Thankfully after some medication it for now has gone away. I can’t imagine the pain you are going through and have to suffer with.. I pray that you find peace and keep putting up the big fight! Powerful story to share keep on going!

[@FreaKinApe]

Hope you recover soon Jonathan, its hard to see such a creative guy facing these sort of difficulties and thank you for making this video

[@izakshuvo8434]

Thank you so much for telling us about these things/medical devices. Hopefully your infection goes away soon and doesn't come back. Good luck man.

[@charblee]

I'm mostly just commenting to increase the engagement on this video for algorithmic influence. Having said that, I think you're literally the first tech KZbinr I ever subscribed to. I appreciate everything you've done for the community and I'm sorry you're going through this. I hope it all works out for you in the end, you've always seemed so genuine and kind. Take care man.

[@grindfi]

Im so proud of you man, ive been fighting fnd myself and my nervous system has been a mess with paralizations, blindness, pains, and weird spasms, etc, the doctors told me i shouldnt be recovering but im fighting, im 23 and im not ready to settle down into a life of being sick and because of this im getting out of it. And i see this same fight going on inside of you, and seeing how far this drive got me, i know you will get out of this, but it wont be fast and you gotta grit your teeth through the pain every day until you get used to the hurt. You gotta break bones with sticks and stones until your body understands what you know it needs, you got this man, i swear, it didnt feel like it but just like me you can look back at how far youve allready come. There will be a day where you look back at this and think woah how did i get out of this, and you will respect yourself for becoming the stronger person that you are. I wish you see those days sooner than youd expect. But if not, realise thats life too

[@peedapan417]

I will always continue praying for ya! 🙏

[@TheGenXGamer]

Wish you the best in recovery Jonathan!I It's great to see how far you've come already, keep it up! I was born with Optic Atrophy myself, and it's so interesting to continue learning about the eyes and optic nerves, and how these problems can be treated.
