Life With An Invisible Illness

Today I show you a day in my life, dealing with chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. I show you some of what I'm eating, some ways I'm using essential oils, and I talk about the common phrase spoonies hear: "you don't look sick".

Saying “you don’t look sick” or “everyone is tired” or “everyone gets anxious” is sooo discouraging! I really hope people become more aware of other people’s “invisible illnesses”.

[@Oilofmercy]

By his stripes you are healed, I hope the dnrs works for you. Im following! Also struggling with invisible illness and believing jesus for full manifestation. Can not wait to see you in the fullness of what God has for you. Xx

[@CrystalMouse1]

Same, girl. CFS, Chronic Myofascial Pain Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Interstitial Cystitis, Costochondritis, Dysmenorrhea, PTSD, Eating disorders, Restless leg Syndrome, IBS, and who knows what else. Just talking is exhausting. Fixing my hair is exhausting. I can’t stand in the shower. I sit in a Tupperware bin underneath the shower so I don’t get dizzy and fall. Remember that Jesus made the disabled according to the speech from the burning bush “Who made man’s mouth? Who made the deaf, the mute, the seeing and the blind? Did not I?...” So we may have weakness, but his strength is made perfect in weakness.

[@FightingMECFS]

To see someone so much younger than me struggling with this too has me in tears. I just found your videos and I cant thank you enough for sharing your journey, im sure im not the only one who feels less alone because of seeing this. ♥️

[@tinagonzalez_williams_lenz6281]

This is my daily life. I feel like I'm sleeping my life away

[@robinmerritt8859]

Me toi

[@robinmerritt8859]

Me too

[@tinagonzalez_williams_lenz6281]

Praise the Lord God has supernaturally healed me🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@heatherhartman6474]

I find it the worse when people around you still have doubts... IT'S HAPPENING!!! TO ME!!!!😭 It kills me that one could be going through hell on earth and still people doubt.

[@moonflower9566]

A couple days ago, I got diagnosed with fibromyalgia & I'm also legally blind. You gave me such a spark in my soul after I stumbled on your video! TY! I am a new subscriber now! OH MY! your food looks amazing! God bless! ♡

[@MandyMeehan]

So sorry to hear that you are dealing with this too, but glad my video was helpful to you! Praying for healing and progress for you -- it is possible! I have made so much progress since this video.

[@rebeckyjohnson1]

I battle EBV! I’m proud of you helping others while you are suffering. I’m ashamed to say I did feel sorry for myself a lot. You are an amazing encourager. Keep on keeping on!!!

[@dizzyowl76]

You are so right about becoming more aware and empathetic of others through chronic illness. Now I realize we don't know each other's struggles and we need to be more compassionate towards each other. I have been a Trigeminal neuralgia warrior for three years now and many of the side effects of my medications mimic those of CFS. Your videos have been so encouraging and has inspired me to strengthen my relationship with Christ. Thank you for Sharing your difficult journey💕💕💕💕💕🦉

[@Tinkerginamama]

Dizzyowl 76 awww I was diagnosed with TN and Lupus going on 4 years now. The TN pain is so much harder then my lupus. Praying for you sweetheart. This isn’t easy but I believe our suffering is to his glory. God bless!

[@Webbgurl2000]

Thank You 🙏, My Sister. As someone with Chronic Illness, I appreciate you.

[@AshleyRodriguez-mu9nu]

Thank you for sharing Mandy! I just found your videos and they are so encouraging. I am in the "fight" (because we know that's the best way to describe it) for health and wholeness as well. Some days are just unnerving but I promise myself healthy days are near! Praying for your journey. I've been clinging to "Healing is the children's bread 🍞" 😊

[@krewbowers3469]

Great vlog! I so appreciate seeing your struggles...just makes me some how feel I’m not alone. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. Having an autoimmune disease can be very lonely. It’s hard for others to understand the illness...I didn’t understand before. Also, your vlogs bring me such hope. I’ve been fighting RA for over 11 years...one treatment I was on lead to melanoma...thankfully I’m cured from that and no longer taking medications that suppress my immune system. I will keep fighting to be symptom free. Praying for you as well!

[@shellycagle3100]

I’m going through all your videos. It’s oddly comforting to see someone struggling exactly like I do. Sorry. I pray for your healing but thank you for bringing this comfort to me to actually see that I’m not alone.

[@hilarydozier4266]

I think you should definitely do a video about what people should and shouldn't say to people with CFS. I think that would be very helpful for people, because sometimes people don't know what to say/say the wrong thing. They don't mean it to be hurtful, but it can definitely come off that way! Thank you for sharing! Also, I can't wait to see the video where you say that you are symptom free! God is so good. Praying for you!

[@tracievaughn5883]

Praying for you daily, Mandy! You are such an inspiration!

[@MandyMeehan]

+Tracie Vaughn thank YOU! 💜

[@tanyalawoo]

You are such a sweet and thoughtful girl!! I had no idea this is what it’s like with a chronic illness! :( I hear of it often but you have made awareness to me in this way! I’ll keep you in my prayers sweet Mandy! You’re such a young and vibrant wifey! You wear it well! I’m so inspired by you in many ways and love to see your cooking skills! They look oh so yummy and inspire me to eat that way! Cooking still isn’t a skill of mine and I’m in my 40’s!! I’m determined to change that! I’d love to see how you do meal planning! Maybe you have videos already - I’ll try to find it though I’m not a tecky chick! You inspire me in that way too!! I don’t know what that music thing was you were showing?? :/ 🤷‍♀️ if it was an app or how to get to podcasts though I hear of them too!! I sooo need a class! Ha! I need prayers too! :) I thank you for sharing your gifts and talents to the world!! 😍

[@family-peace-love]

I absolutely love your positive attitude its amazing . Thank you xx

[@alexandradavies1502]

The doctors think I have Fibromyalgia. I am tired with some pain. My own parents don't even believe me and just tell me that everyone gets tired and that I don't look sick. I am so glad that I discovered this channel.

[@236lbsnomore]

Just watched your dad deliver a powerful message about complaining .he talked about your story and therefore I found you here. I’m looking forward in watching your journey and lifting you up in prayer and to see what God does through your illness.

[@jodigrant8835]

Thank you Mandy. I'm nearly 50 and have had fibromyalgia for about 11 years. Watching this video reminded me of my first few years trying to deal with it - and yes the comments of you look fine to me. Over time I have learnt to manage what I can and listen to my body. I am now a leader in our church and have tried prayer and fasting and most things for a cure. But the message I keep getting from God is, my grace is sufficient for you. It is in my weakness I depend all the more on Him, and most days this is good. Bless you 🙏

[@jennifercope8527]

You are just a breath of fresh air! I watched the entire video. I couldn't stop watching it! Very articulate, very positive attitude; I will be looking for more videos from you. Have a blessed day!

[@MandyMeehan]

+Jennifer Cope thank you so much, Jennifer! That means a lot to me 💜

[@dawnhubbard2428]

Thank you for sharing your journey. I am a LifeChurch member and heard of your journey by your dad. I am really glad that he talked about it. Your vlogs have been very helpful. I am kind of watching them in reverse 😂. I suffer with Fibromyalgia and Celiac Disease. In the past year i have become so frustrated, depressed and just to the point of not being DONE!! I decided that i was going to "give it back", so i have been on a journey to find healing, as well. There are so many similarities to what you are doing and what i have been doing. You have talked about some things that i hadnt heard of, so i will be reseaching those things. In this past year i have managed to get off all of my medication. I was taking a handful twice a day. I have a long ways to go. I really appreciate you sharing your story. I absolutely believe Jesus has the power to heal us, and that He will. We may never meet, but i want you to know that, i am praying for you.

[@SarahEsmaeWolfe]

Hi Mandy, I have been watching your videos for a while and I love your channel! I have Hashimoto's Disease and have been experiencing flare ups recently. I think one of the harder things about having a chronic illness is sometimes I go through long stretches where I feel great and then I crash again. It's really frustrating to think I'm getting better and then start having symptoms again and seeing other people with my same illness get better when I'm still sick. You are such an encouragement. From one spoonie to another, I wish you the best on your journey to healing.

[@MandyMeehan]

+Sarah Elizabeth yes! It can be so hard how up and down it is. You want to badly to share that you are improving and it’s so discouraging to crash. Thanks for sharing. Hugs. 💜

[@heidibeckham4507]

So glad I found your videos, recently been diagnosed really confused. I'm so tired and obsessing watching KZbin vids trying to learn what I do to make this work. Struggled with faith recently too, its all happened at the same time. Great to hear your story

[@celesteap174]

God is the one that will give you the strength you don't have some times. Heard researches. Look for David du as tre videos. I take Welbutrin is a prescription that have helped me actually kepner alive. Helps with all symptom. Bcomplex is good COQ10 some researchers recommend it talk to your Dr. About it Isaiah 33:24 say one day God promises we will not be sick. If you have something visit JW.ORG it will give answers to some of your concerns.God Bless you all

[@aprilgrace8277]

I just have to say I've been so encouraged by your videos! I've been watching different ones that catch my eye since I heard about you on the Messy Table Podcast that I tried out for the first time that week you were on! Amazing! I'm so grateful God led me to your channel. I have CFS and it's not easy. God bless you in your recovery! You're an inspiration! 😊

[@MandyMeehan]

Aw, wow! So glad you enjoyed the podcast. Praying for your recovery as well!

[@kathystoner5239]

I love your videos so much! I worry sometimes when I go out of the house and people see me, they will think, " she doesn't look sick," and think I'm making it up. I have had people say that maybe I was depressed. I get sad sometimes and have a good cry when I feel horrible, but most of the time I'm an upbeat person and know I will heal from this eventually. I'm praying the Lord will lead and guide me on how to heal my body! I would love to see a video on your being symptom free! I will keep you in my prayers! Praying one day soon I can be symptom free as well!

[@spicybiscuit88]

Cool video! Feeling pretty disheartened atm about ever improving my health so thank you for the encouragement. 💖 xx

[@torirenee86]

I just had to drop you a note to say thank you, I started watching your vlog because I thought it would encourage me with my own struggle with chronic illness. While it has I have actually gained more perspective on food! You mentioned The Calorie Myth in one video, I read it and it has completely transformed my veiw on food! I'm a book lover so if you ever felt like throwing a few references to books that have helped you on your journey I would love to hear them. Anyway prayers for your healing and thank you!

[@MandyMeehan]

+Tori Martin this may be one of my favorite comments I’ve ever received. So glad that it has helped you. That book was huge for me too! Praying for you as well. 💜

[@greencarina]

You are awesome. Love to see a young girl like you talking so authentically about her struggles and disease, using this social platform to bring awareness. I am believing with you for a symptom-free life!!

[@MandyMeehan]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that.

[@haleymccarthy3311]

I am so glad I found your channel! I have been suffering from CFS, Fibro and Endometriosis for the past 2.5 years and your channel gives me hope, lets me know I am not alone and learning more and more!

[@MandyMeehan]

Aw, you are so sweet! I'm sorry you've had to deal with all of that as well. You are definitely not alone! Hugs!

[@brianmelton7946]

Your video was like a burst of sunshine. Thank you.

[@thatnorachick]

Great video💙 i totally understand people thinking we are fine because we look ok on the outside From friends to family almost everyone in my life doesn't believe me or thinks I'm just being lazy. I give up trying to prove to anyone I'm sick. I rather use the energy to recover. Great message as usual 💙

[@BRS5]

You are a very strong young woman! Many people who suffer CFS/Fibro have a hard time smiling at all. I know you went to the Mayo Clinic and I would trust their advise. You might also want to look at "Younger lab" on KZbin. Dr. Jarred Younger has done some very good work on this illness. He is known for the research he did at the Standford University Medical Center related to low dose naltrexone for relieving Fibromyalgia symptoms. He has designed a fast track method for testing substances to determine their value in relieving symptoms. He will answer questions on KZbin and makes new videos about the status of his experiments. You have to be wary about information on the net but Dr. Younger is one of the top scientist researchers on CFS/Fibromyalgia. His work gives a lot of people hope.

[@freiagalacar5786]

You remind me of myself so much. I really believe only the strongest kinds of people get this disease. I've been dealing with it since I was 15 and got diagnosed at 23. So glad you are sharing your experience so the world can benefit from it.

[@isabellekathleen]

Your morning/daily routine is basically the same as mine. I am 25 and have had ME for 2 years, live in NZ and it is comforting to watch your videos and know others experience what I do. Keep them coming!! :)

[@MandyMeehan]

It is so nice to be reminded that you are not alone! Will do. :)

[@arimarino3947]

Thank you so much for this video! I am a fellow woman documenting my journey with chronic illness here on KZbin as well. You inspire me and give me hope.

[@consuelobarber04]

I totally understand you, and know exactly how you feel lately it's gotten worse for me but like you even through these moments without them we wouldn't be able to share, do and be what God had sent forth in our lives... God is doing so much in this season even through the bad days and weeks, stay encouraged that God is right there I'm learning even deeper in this season that I'm far from alone and I know that you believe it and know it too! Praying and believing that our God of miracles will heal you and myself!!! I see my doc soon and see what's going on lately my energy levels have been shot I'm pushing through this and know that God is bigger, greater, and stronger! Take heart,He's overcome the world!!!! 💜

[@MissBeautymark]

You are SUCH a light Mandy! Thank you for sharing and being so vulnerable. Keep going sister :)

[@MandyMeehan]

+MissBeautymark thank you so much. 💜 I really appreciate the encouragement.

[@allyouneedtoknowanonymous7558]

i find reading the Bible helps too!! wen i can't hold books or pens cos of hands being useless i use audio reading versions. God understands wen no one else does believe me. i haven't been able to wash or dress for months now due to pain but no one believes me. i feel hurt. i often wonder how long i can keep going.

[@ThornyRoseV]

Yeaa..being insane by believing in imaginary creatures is hardly the solution.

[@somebodypiano6191]

This is my second youtube video I am watching from you, and I almost never subscribe to people but you have such a wonderful, bright personality shining through your videos, so I feel the need to subscribe!

[@ragnhildmkhamar3433]

This is so real 😍😍 Love your videos 🥰🥰

[@jameskharrison6769]

Mandy, Prayers continue for you and I am amazed at you courage

[@deaniagarza3931]

I pray you are doing well. Thank you for the message of encouragement. 🤗

[@svetlanaorlova8997]

I’m 29. I was diagnosed with CFS 5 years ago. I was bedridden and quit work for two years. I followed the nutritional balancing program, and am doing 1000 times better. Highly recommend it. It’s not a gimmick either, you actually feel sicker/worse before you feel better. It’s amazing. Best of luck, god bless.

[@toby621]

my hart go out to you young lady im 53 and had cfs for 25 years no one understands unless they have it so true what you said if you exersise you get worse you dont look sick thats the worst every one judges you for not working they say he is lazy i now have anxiety panick attacks as well in pain all day i hope you get over it and it dosent take the years away from you like it did to me have a nice day and stay strong belive me you need all the strength to handle this illness 😊😊😊😊😊

[@ChrisLuton]

Love your videos! Looks like you're doing everything right from attitude to diet to energy conservation. I've been struggling with CFS since 2012 and you're right folks just don't get it when you explain it to them. They think you can just suck it up or power through it. I think it would be awesome if you could do a very short but effective video that helps non CFS people really understand CFS! Perhaps your positive energy would help it sink in for folks. Thanks for all you do Mandy!

[@MandyMeehan]

+Chris Luton Thanks for your encouragement! I really appreciate it. So sorry you have dealt with this too. Believing we can both recover. 🙌🏽

[@adriannemarie4705]

Having an invisible illness is so hard! I would love it if you did a video on what to say and what not to say to someone sick. Thank you for your videos! I'm thankful for you and praying for you!

[@MandyMeehan]

+Glory Mendenhall filmed this today 😊😊

[@CamAustralia001]

With sleep, a good CFS technique is to set an alarm for early, then when it goes off, enjoy being able to go back to sleep. The sleep one gets with CFS in this way seems to refresh better.

[@sydneybarnett6806]

Your dedication to God throughout your journey has inspired me so much! I'm currently struggling now with getting a diagnosis for my issues. It's so hard to not be thankful for the body that gave me and just being able to see what plan he has for my life when I can't do many things because of what's going on. Anyways, you encourage me so much! Thank you ❤️❤️

[@chelseahowell858]

This makes my heart happy. ❤️

[@lexeek94]

Yes! Thank you for this video! I'm 24 and also have fybro and CFS. Thank you for acknowledging that recovery is possible. I fully believe that if the Lord wills, He will heal us. Blessings!

[@teresalovesbooks]

This was so helpful!!! I have a chronic illness. Thank you!

[@rachelelaine7094]

Agree with the you don't look sick. I get that all the time. Especially since I currently work full time as a waitress, although when I get home I barely have enough energy to do anything. Had to call into work a few times and felt bad because it wasn't for the flu or anything I just didn't have the energy to get out of bed. Didn't know how to explain it to my supervisors the next day. Thanks for the video!

[@MandyMeehan]

Oh man. It is very tough! Praying for progress for you!

[@sarahbender8251]

Praying for you Mandy ❤️🙏

[@MandyMeehan]

+Sarah Bender Thanks friend! 💜

[@lorinewcomb4717]

I has cfs and eds type 3 and when people say you don't look sick..I say thank you! I tell them how hard I tried to look normal. I think sometimes the more normal you look the more people don't understand over time bc when we are bad we just stay home.

[@creationoflove84]

This was fantastic! I kept trying to eye all your supplements lol good brands, totally going to search and see if you have a video on that :) Gosh, I really related to you getting up at that time...9am is usually about right for me too...I miss getting up at 5am before my husband and 2 girls...I’d light a candle and spend hours in the word...so precious...I hope to get back to that one day :)However the Lord has made my suffering precious as well. He is so gentle and gracious, drawing near to me as I plead for Him.

[@creationoflove84]

Oh yeah...and I’m TOTALLY into your diet! Hahahaha, can’t wait to learn more and get some tips for me :)

[@voicesinthewoods]

Thank you for your videos! What has helped me also is drinking fresh celery juice every morning on an empty stomach. (Made from one entire stalk of celery.) Let it sit a bit before you eat anything. Even though you may not feel like it, you look beautiful in the morning. Thank you for your videos!

[@MandyMeehan]

Thank you for your sweet comment! I’ve been hearing lots of good things about celery juice. 🙌🏽

Living with an invisible chronic illness is really hard. I work a very stressful job full-time (working on changing that) and it's a constant struggle. I always feel horrible when I have to call in sick and I don't feel like those I work with understand.

[@MandyMeehan]

+Nicole LaRochelle-Alden Agreed. It’s very tough. Praying for progress for you!

[@beccarou9741]

Mandy, “and my face is from..the Lord” 😂😂 so funny, so true! Thank you for making these videos💗💗Even through your pain, you are a bright light!!

[@Enamora2141]

Yes I loved that! such a cute saying.

[@tsfibro4296]

I also have Fibro and I'm so sorry you are having to go through this at such a young age. I pray for a cure and I pray you have a pain free day.

[@MandyMeehan]

I’m so sorry you do as well! I’ve thankfully made a ton of progress though. Hope you are heading towards healing as well. 💜

[@Rin-my1kq]

Whoever disliked this video is sick!! It’s hard having this disease, I grew up with a family member in the same house as me with this disease.

[@eileenhartman8290]

I mandy. I understand wgat you are going through. I have M.E CFS, for 36 years. I have had many ups and downs over the years. Even was self employed with my own cleaning business for several years. Then nearly 3 years a go I had breast cancer. Since the radiotherapy I have been ill nearly all the time. I now have fibromyalgia and am in pain most of the time. I can't do much now. Most G Ps are a waste of space. If I go out shopping or doctors , I'm in pain for days. Pain meds no little or nothing any more. I'm a Christian, but I'm to ill to go to church these days. My husband now has a bad heart the last few months. But I still have to rely on him for so much. They stopped my benefits last year, so have to go to a tribunal some when. So we can't afford to pay for help. I pray for a miracle, but it doesn't happen. I know Jesus. So that isn't a problem. Having my benefits back would pay to go to a clinic in Harley street London. So I pray I will get it back. I can get tests GPS won't do. I'm vegan, so have a Healthy diet. Please Lord Jesus help us. God bless and heal you. I hope to hear more from you. X

[@lisakaylanemorris]

I'm trying to get better too! Praying for all of us!

[@mirandaandrea8215]

Hi Mandy was this before you did the dynamic neural training system? Wishing you well! Miranda from london

[@evachun1254]

I truly believe you might have an autoimmune disease. The same thing happened to me. It happened in 2011 when I came back from my trip from Israel. My body completely crashed. I had no energy, I was bed ridden. It was tiring just to lift a fork to my mouth and chew my food. I couldn't think, concentrate or even formulate words. I also had burning, pins and needle pains all over my body. I went to the ER a few times because I thought I was either having a stroke or heart attack. They couldn't find anything wrong with me. I also went to three other doctors who said that it was all in my head and I was just tired and stressed.. I did a lot of research on google and diagnosed myself with Hashimoto's. It was later confirmed by an endocrinologist. My antibodies were 10,000 and they should be under 9. Hashimoto's is when your antibodies attack your thyroid. Conventional medicine couldn't help me. I saw a functional medicine doctor who treats the root cause and helped get my antibodies back down. I addressed leaky gut, food sensitivities (gluten,dairy, corn, potato)vitamin deficiencies and my thyroid. To make a long story short, It took me four years to get back on my feet. Now that I got the autoimmune part under control I'm dealing with the adrenal fatigue part. I go through ups and downs. I can be doing great for months but then stress takes me out and I have to start all over again. Sounds like you are on the right track by eating right and taking supplements. Check out Drlam.com. It helped get my chronic fatigue mostly under control. Though it's always going to be a struggle the rest of my life.

[@nanalmostyoung]

I also have a chronic illness and some of us with syringomyelia call it the looking good disease. So I thank God everyday that my condition does not disfigure me or make me look “sick”. So just say thank you Lord for making me look not sick.

[@jenniferchase2075]

Thank you so much for doing this! Your videos will help so many understand how we really feel!! Praying for you daily ♡ We will heal in the name of Jesus!!

[@MandyMeehan]

+Jennifer Chase amen! 🙏🏽🙌🏽 thank you!

[@jenniferchase2075]

Mandy Meehan you are more than welcome ♡

[@melissaann5909]

Thank you for being real and honest, I think its very important for people to see they are not alone. Watching this video deffinatly helped me to know im not the only one who is tired all day and just doing simple things around the house like laundry and cooking are exhuasting let alone going for a 25 minute walk ( which I dont do ) LOL.. Do you have insomnia where you wake up all night long ? I am struggling with this and its definatly not helping my case.

[@MandyMeehan]

+melissa berthiaume late response! 🙈yes! My sleep problems come and go, but they have been prevalent lately. Usually I either can’t fall asleep or stay asleep. I’ve been trying some new strategies to see if they help. Let me know if you find anything that helps you!

[@melloyellow5598]

Electronics, EMFs Electro Magnetic Frequency exposures or rather over-exposure. Some ppl are highly sensitive. And it's a catch 22 bc one theory I've come up with is that we feel a bit better at night because the amount of EMF exposure around us slows down, neighbors turn things off, our whole local electrical grid's activity slows down to a less toxic buzz rate, (for lack of a better term at the moment,) etc., and we feel less saturated or having to push through The thick if it: The heavyness?...Like when we're wiped out and at our weakest.. But while and partly because we are feeling better in the wee hours, we pick up our laptops, tablets, tv remotes, cell phones and such, so for msny, add some more Wi-Fi frequency expisure to the mix, plus the almost anti-sleep, UV lighting, dangerous to retinas. The Blue Screens from thr LED TVs snd digital devices, and we get overloaded around the clock. Like a sponge. There are so many ways to describe thr exhaustion and anxiousness, that only shutting down our eyes/vision and other sensory receptors like ears, (noise) and such, do we, or, am I, able to recharge my batteries. It's a strange paradox. I'm not explaining it well, but I'll go ahead and post anyway bc it will strike a chord of understanding with some ppl. God bless! Ive got to shut down. I'm exhausted. Forgive errors and half sentences.

[@jameskharrison6769]

Great video and God Bless

[@Enamora2141]

Great video Mandy! Does James ever record his sermons? the one he started doing that was in this video seemed like it was a great message I would have loved to listen to it. Thanks for your videos.

[@MandyMeehan]

+Rosa Hernandez Yes! I will have to share a link soon.

[@allisonweldon5952]

I have been dealing with symptoms of fibromyalgia for over two years now and tomorrow I’m finally going into a rheumatologist to hopefully get a diagnosis and some treatment so I can get to feeling better

[@MandyMeehan]

So sorry - I personally have found the most help seeing a functional medicine practitioner, because they actually help you get the root cause! Highly recommend looking into this.

[@hayleygebhart1764]

I have Arthritis Psoriasis and CPTSS. Specialists say it's chronic and progressive. I find it hard to believe that, as you say, 'recovery is possible' and that I could ever be 'symptom free'. How should I percieve this?

Hi Mandy. I attend Life.Church in Albany NY, have known about your illness. And just watched this video I’m wondering if you’d try CBD oil? I use it for inflammation and other issues. It has been helpful for a lot of things like fibromyalgia. It hasn’t really helped people!! Praying for you. ❤️

My chronic disease is cancer, well it is chronic to me. My medications make it so I have energy, until I don't than I nap. If I do a lot one day the next day I am in bed most of the day, so I totally get the energy thing.

+Molly Martin I’m so sorry to hear that! Praying for you now. 💜

Im crying as I watch your video because I am pregnant and suffering with fibromyalgia. No one around me understands how severe my pain is. Sitting, standing, walking have become almost impossible, but I push myself to do it.

Surviving FibroMyWhat Honey lean on the Lords strength. It was so hard with both my pregnancies and worst when they were born and I was up late with them. I almost fainted many times from fatigue. It’s so hard. I’m praying for you!
