How I Turned This, Into This! (Plus I'm a Little Concerned About Capri)

[@allanamello5652]

I have had Rheumatoid Arthritis for 43 years. I was a young teenager when we found out. Autoimmune diseases are tough but manageable. Sounds like your doctor is trying to find the right cocktail for your care and hopefully get it figured out soon. It takes awhile though. Holistic approach helps but medication is needed to help fight your future bone, organs and muscles care. Methotrexate is a good medicine to start with minimal side effects and can adjust the strengths for you. Just remember to keep your body moving even if you are in severe pain , fingers especially. Hang in there Brooke you got this. Just take one day at a time. You are a very strong woman. Hugs to you and your family

[@ruthdunn1525]

All good info for RA. I’ve found also there are foods that trigger inflammation and foods that reduce inflammation.

“I’m not an addict” is exactly what addicts say…😂😂 just busting your chops, Brooke!! I absolutely love it!!!!!

[@tiffanytupper8983]

Thanks for giving Capri a boost!😊🧡💜🧡

[@albrightfs]

"ITS more chicks - I'm not an addict"... God bless you MRS Cog Hill!.. Just love how you care for all your animals. Thank you for sharing!

[@roxannabloom1540]

When you said I'm not an addict, it put me in mind of an AA meeting when people stand up to speak and announce that they are an addict. It made me giggle just a little bit. You guys always take such good care of your babies. They get the best that you have to give. I'm glad your inflammation levels have come down & they have added additional doses of your medication.

[@jenniferlashley2081]

It's heartwarming to watch you take such loving care of Capri and the other animals. I appreciate the health update, but please don't feel pressured to share more than you're comfortable. You have a right to privacy. ❤

[@ritamulloy3522]

They’re beautiful chickens ❤

[@aquiltingmama]

Brooke you are such a good, kind farm Mama to all your animals! Yea! More chickens, more eggs.

[@SummerSun2468]

Cog hill always goes the extra mile for their animals❤❤❤ Brooke I just love you keep buying chicks!!! But all for the better good!!!❤❤❤❤ Cog Hill Rocks

[@poorthing]

Taking care of Mrs Cog Hill so she can take care of her farm babies & enjoy her family & enjoy their lives together, feeling good❤

[@territrombley8273]

Sweet Capri is so fortunate to have you for her momma (all the babies are for that matter). Hoping that your new course of treatment does the trick Brooke!! ❤

[@tennesseeiris701]

I have to say every time I see Paris I thing what a beautiful goat she is. I love her color and markings.

[@onamissionfortruth6326]

At the rate that Farm Stand is going....you need a LOT more chicks! You guys ROCK and I think those chicks are priceless so whatever you paid.....they're worth it.

[@alaskaismyhome7594]

I laugh out loud when you said you were “not an addict” to getting chicks. With a farm stand you probably need 200 chickens to meet the needs of the community.

[@marcia8382]

I did too! It was so funny!!

[@davinawonderling9361]

It was funny 😅. Cute, and the new chicks are beautiful 😍! All the best with Capri!

[@sharonrimsza7960]

I had to chuckle as well. Although we can all relate. We are not ‘addicted’ Cog Hill Farm…oh heck yes we are! We live vicariously through Brooke and Jason. Love their videos. So positive and a very loving family to and for each other and all their animals.

[@bridgetgreene2457]

I laughed also !! If your going to have an addiction …. Chicks would be a wonderful one !!! Lol 😅

[@jeanettejohansson5181]

😂

[@sharononeill449]

I think the new chicks are such a good idea for the farm egg sales are good keep them going ❤️🐎🚜🐈‍⬛🫏🐝❤️

[@debbyalden55]

That should be a slogan. "I'm not an addict," lol, just because I bought another box of chicks. I do love the colors of the new babies and the egg color. Brooke, you are a good goat mom, taking care of Capri, making sure she is healthy. That makes you a great person, sensitive to the animals' needs. I'm glad you are improving on your health and getting more meds to help with the inflammation. Great video today.

[@kendoty5583]

You have no idea how much you bless my husband and me. God bless you and Jason.

[@galady8632]

As soon as Brooke mentioned Tractor Supply I started smiling - more baby chicks were definitely in the barn. And that is a beautiful thing! Capri will soon fill-in around her hips and be even more stunning. Brooke's health update was great news! There's an adjustment time factor re RX for each patient. Finding the correct balance can involve smaller doses all along in lieu of monthly treatments. It seems Brooke's Specialist is focused on listening to her, asking pertinent questions and constantly researching options. Communication is paramount. This was definitely a GOOD NEWS VIDEO!!!!

[@tcsgarden6633]

You take the best care of all the fur and feather babies at Cog Hill. Please give Capri an extra pet or two from me.

[@janetscott5252]

Great animal Momma!! I had to chuckle out loud at the chicks!! You 'need' those babies for your biz!! Good job Brooke! Hope your days of feeling better keep adding up! 💜🙏💜

[@lisalemaster9383]

Awe, the new chicks are sweet. Capri will be better soon with more calories Im sure. You take auch wonderful care of all your animals ❣️. OXOXO 💖

[@pattynabozny1503]

You’re such a good farm mama, Brooke. p.s. I think you need more chicks to support your community.

[@susanlewis9351]

Like I always say, I wish everyone treated their animals like Cog Hill Farm! Good luck with your new medicine Brooke. God Bless

[@thuerba65]

Their Animals are sooo relaxed - they could be used as therapy goats and donkeys for children☺️

[@FloCreasy]

Thank you for the medical update. I am so glad your labs have improved.

[@carolbaughman2412]

AMEN!!!!!

[@carlnichols5255]

Brooke, that chicken math calculator is smoking, but so will that farm stand egg supply before too long. Keep on taking care of those babies on the farm and take care of Brooke ❤

[@susanmorgan8416]

Hi Brooke, Love that you added new chicks to your flock. With the amount of eggs you’re selling, you really do need more chickens. I’m sure Capri will be back in tip top shape in no time under your excellent care. Hope that with your new medical regime, your health continues to improve, too. Love all Cog Hill Farm related videos 💕

[@BloomWithGracie]

I'm on Methotrexate shots once a week. The pills made me so sick. That is a common side effect with the pill version. You may not have any issues. Hugs and prayers it helps. You guys are awesome for animals. ❤

[@kathygirlygirl4109]

Boy, Capri was scarfing down her food! I don't think you will have a problem putting weight on her. She is such a sweet girl. Thank you again for your loving care for your animals.

[@rhodarapp3795]

Hi Brooke! Thanks for the updates. You and Jason take such good care of your animals. Keeping you in my prayers the additional medication works wonders for you. Have a good day and a relaxing weekend.❤️🐝🌻🐐

[@jacquiemunroe7740]

Capri will be back to good weight in no time Brooke. You are such a caring mamma. You and Jason are always looking out for the health of your babies, I love that about you both.

[@sherryk5313]

Hope that works for Capri. Thanks for the update on you, I hope it makes you feel better soon. 😊

[@user-SG-402]

I love it when you raise a new batch of chick's! I hope your change in medicine helps you feel better.

[@aspreyl]

Morning Brooke. I had to chuckle when you said you weren't an addict. There's a method to my madness is what I say😂❤

[@robertamorrison3462]

Getting more chicks will certainly give you more eggs. I'm looking forward to seeing the new girls, the photo looked gorgeous!

[@glendagilner3438]

Brooke, you & that Jami (From Suits to Boots) are 2 of the best farm moms that I know. Faithfully, I look for content from you 2 daily 😂. I talk about y'all to my friends & family who don't be on KZbin. And all they do is smile & thankful that I've found something to help my mental🙏🏻. So thank you, Brooke, and plz continue to share with the world & we'll continue to watch. Glinda from South Florida ❤🍊❤

[@elf5012]

You folks take such good care of all of your animals. It is good to know that you are also taking care of your health. So happy that you are doing better.

[@maryIcahn]

I'm on Enbrel & Methotrexate. Make sure you have a VERY full belly when you take the Methotrexate!

[@pamelag4529]

brooke i was diagnosed in 2008 with rheumatoid arthritis and you are correct about the meds your body does become what i call immune to them from time to time and need to be switched up, the only advice i can give you is listen to your dr. and learn to give yourself grace on the days you "just Cant" i've learned that probably the hardest part of it is to depend on others when all your life you have always done things by yourself, well when your body is going through this, it is ok to just say "i cant today" accept the help, give yourself grace and know those helping you love you.

[@beckiepatrick6900]

I have psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis and would agree 100%.

[@AmeliaInMonTana]

15:44 I love how Miss Dee Dee is checking in on the new babies with you. Think she is making sure they grow up nice and healthy to lay plenty of future eggs. That girl is dang smart planning ahead like that. 😉❤🐾🥚🕳️

[@johntatum1951]

Hope Capri will be okay...thanks for being aware of her needs...:)

[@angelraburn4401]

Good morning Cog Squad. As soon as you said tractor supply I just knew that you found some more chicks 😂 oh we love it and you !! Thank you for showing us what you are doing with Capri and the chicks. I always learn something and have a happy smile after a Cog Hill upload. Alfalfa was always a special treat for the horses - brings back memories. Y’all be good 🥰

[@MuddPies]

My daughter takes methotrexate for auto immune disorder. She has arthritis also . The medication has helped quit a bit . Good luck to you, sweetie ! ❤

[@margesteinmetz863]

New chicken looks beautiful. Glad medical addition helping.sometimes things just need to be tweaked a bit 👍 Capri just needs a boost . Thanks for sharing your information. Blessings 🙏🫶🙏🫶

[@janicehaas4618]

Glad to hear that your health is getting better. No you're not an addict you just want more eggs. Have a blessed day.

[@judyklein3221]

Did I hear you say 'Tractor Supply'? Ok where are the chicks? You NEED more chicks. I love you Brooke! Of course you aren't an addict... You're a great steward of that beautiful farm.💕💕

[@judithrivin2031]

Hope the new meds plus additional Humira brings down the inflammation.

[@judyboss5267]

You’re a great mom to all your animals. Hugs for healing and prayers too are coming your way. God bless one and all.

[@patsyguthrie8520]

You and Jason work so hard to keep up with the health of your animals I am glad your Doctor is giving you medicine to help you because you work hard so you need to feel good your animals are depending on you both and I am sure they want you feeling well

[@GillianMiller-wi6hq]

Brook, make sure you take a Folic Acid tablet the day after you take your Methotrexate. I started on Methotrexate tablets once a week, but now I’m on the injection as the tablet wasn’t working for me. The injection works so much better as it’s absorbed straight into the body, where the tablet has to go through the gut first. Hope it helps you feel better.

[@januk7725]

i love the baby Reds, they grow so fast, i hope you get your health sorted out Brooke where you will feel 100%

[@ClassicallyMish]

Thank you for the health update Brooke. Sending healing energy to cover you. 🤎🤎

[@karengaynon8020]

Chicks are very addicting. Lol. My family used to say I wasn't allowed to go to Tractor Supply unsupervised.

[@teresaatwater672]

Hope the new meds help you! Take care! The new chicks are darling.

[@annieneumann2540]

Aw those newest babies are some kind of cute.

[@Homebody2009]

When we showed dairy goats we used beet pulp and alfalfa pellets. Really helped to keep them looking good.

[@yolandaalanis864]

Praying for your wellness ❤

[@tammytsuchiyama8858]

I love how you take care of your animals. What did Jason say about the 5 new Chicks. Lol❤

[@jeanettesheldon8694]

I love collecting chickens that lay different color eggs such as Americunas, Easter Eggers, etc.🥰🥰🥰

[@cathydavis210]

I love watching your animals grow. Thank you for sharing with us.🐣🐣🐣

I’m not an addict… Brooke, you’re hilarious 😂🤣❤️

[@johngundrum8242]

😂😂😂

[@Melinda-vk9mx]

Things are looking beautiful for the farm. Love your videos. ❤ Much love to you all.

[@Only1sticks]

Brook both my mother and sister both take the same combination Humira & Methotrexate for RA and it has done wonders for them. Keep you hopes up you will feel better! ❤

[@sharrondinnis1335]

“I’m not an addict” HILARIOUS 😆!!! Girlfriend your not an addict and heck even if you were I can understand being addicted to Chickens 🐓hehe. Brooke you are one very special lady♥️♥️. Praying for Capri🙏🏻🙏🏻, prayers for all y’all🙏🏻.

[@QueenTubby37]

I feel strongly modern doctors don’t address roots of problems. They love to prescribe big pharma. Sugar, white flour, seed oils, major inflammatory foods. Removing those, add in things like ginger, turmeric, lemon, black pepper- top for anti inflammatory!

[@amyfrancois9121]

👍🏻❤️👍🏻❤️👍🏻

[@jeanettesheldon8694]

You can make a Golden Milk by using these ingredients and instead of using cow's milk use coconut milk. Also, I drink goat's milk instead of cow's milk.

[@carolb3946]

Good advice for All of Us!! Thanks, Queen!!

[@sallysullivan4463]

Totally agree Queen ... but watch out for the black pepper part. My body can't handle that, or cow's milk, onions, corn 'n' wheat ! Everybody is different.

[@DL-xo7fn]

that's so true and avoiding carrageenan if possible cause it's in most everything we love to eat and it causes inflammation, js.

[@donnabac]

Brooke, I’ve been on Humira every other week and Methotrexate weekly for over a decade. It’s worked very well. It took a while to find what worked for my body. The Rheumatologist will monitor your labs and adjust as needed. I’m very happy you are feeling a bit better. ❤

[@SueShu-q4s]

I just love you and your channel. Thanks for sharing your Farm Life with us. ❤

[@marshabevis3768]

New chicks are so tiny. Prayers for Capri to do better. Hope your meds continue to work.

[@bernicejohnson2380]

Glad for the update Brooke.❤

[@sharonm3677]

Brooke you’re just adorable with your animals. You’re so in tune with them and give them so much love. Also glad to hear that your health is improving and it continue to do so. ❤❤

[@robintyer1699]

[@luniah343]

Good morning everyone.

[@suemuster9826]

I love how caring you are for your animals. Chicks are adorable. This next spring, I need to get some new babies. However, they will have to live out in the coop. Could be interesting. They can't live in my house, and Dander hurts my lungs.

[@mrdio4625]

I know from the issues my mom went thru to not only get a dr to diagnose her Auto Immune disease , but also for them to find a treatment for it , just how much strain and emotion a person can go thru. Thank you for using your platform to share your story and to encourage others going thru this dreadful condition.

[@SUZYRIDE]

More Chicks 🐥 Let’s GO!!!

[@shirleyharold1698]

Brooke you are the best animal momma any farm animals could have…..you’re the best❤❤❤

[@sandeepettit696]

Sweet beautiful little chicks❤❤❤

[@rosiesgrandma]

Many years ago I read in Prevention magazine about the nightshade family. They had a study group of folks that stayed totally off the nightshade family and some but inadvertently. Everyone has significant changes in there aggravation of the arthritis with listening there exposure to this particular family of vegetables and fruits. I made a mention of this to my daughter who has arthritis that goes with her psoriasis and she stated yes I've been eating a ton of bell peppers and oh that would stand to reason she had noticed a significant change recently in her arthritis. Also would like to share with everyone Dr Berg is a chiropractor that had his own share of health issues and now shares his knowledge with everyone on KZbin.

[@patriciabonitz5758]

It's wonderful how you keep on top of your animal health needs. I never knew farm animals have to have health checks and medicine for parasites so often. Capri will be looking good in a matter of time. I love the new chicks. They are adorable. The other chicks got big fast. ❤❤❤

[@MaryGrace523]

Eat up Capri girl, get your strength back! Having triplets takes a lot out of a girl!! ❤❤❤

You are such a great farm mama Brooke! You be sure to take care of you first though!❤ Prayers to you and family!❤

[@katpraeuner9794]

I feel for Capri! When I was nursing my daughter i used to joke she was sucking the life out of me. I dropped down to 103 lbs. and I hadn't been that weight since I was a freshman in high school. Making milk takes a lot of calories! And yes I was eating all the time and still lost a lot of weight. I'm betting she'll bounce back with the extra calories you are giving her. I'm glad your dr visit went well. Or as well as can be expected. Love the new baby chicks!

[@marycoker99]

Good Thursday morning 🌄 Brooke. Prayers 🙏 that Capri gets to feeling better. You are taking such great care of her. ❤

[@leecarlson9713]

Brooke, I agree, you need more laying hens. The way your eggs disappear from the stand, as soon as you put them out, shows that you truly do need more chickens.

[@fayebailey9358]

With all of your TLC and dietary vitamins I have no doubt Capri will be looking like a million bucks shortly. Sweet to see your new baby chicks! Praying your new medication regime provides sustained improvement for your health. 🙏❤😊

[@2CalaLilly]

The new chicks are really pretty. I'm glad you got them. As for Capri, I hope you can get her back to where you are comfortable with her condition. She is such a pretty goat. Brooke, you are such a dear and special person. I hope with all my heart that your new medications will help you get well.
