Thanks so much Jessie for sharing your story, especially the good and the bad. This type of video is so helpful for people to understand what can be happening with CRPS, etc.

My pleasure 🥰

Have always thought that you are an epic person who gets so much done. Find you to be inspiring. Am now humbled by the fact that you do all of that awesomeness with those physical barriers.

I loved hearing your story. I got a chronic illness that turned my life around, and although not as bad as you, I struggle with chronic fatigue and pain as well... and I ride dressage. Subbed :D

[@jessiesmithequestrian]

Thank you! Sorry to hear you struggle too 😣 so glad you’re still out there riding! x

[@JustHorseyMie]

@@jessiesmithequestrian horses are my whole life🙂

[@dvsmum3832]

I know exactly how you feel. I first had rsd in my left ankle at around 16. Then had a horse shatter my left tibia 6.5yrs ago and was re diagnosed with crps. Now it’s my entire left leg and lower back. I had a spinal cord stimulator surgery a couple of years ago and it’s really helped. Yell out if you ever want to chat, I’m in Victoria :) kel

[@jessiesmithequestrian]

Sorry to hear you live this too 😞 glad the stimulator helps though! Thank you, and the same to you 🥰

Did you recently have to be in a wheel chair because 3 weeks ago in one of your videos you were standing up

[@jessiesmithequestrian]

As I explained in the video, I require my chair for long distances and/or bad days. I also explained how I manage to walk with and without my walking stick. I have used a walking stick for 6 years.
