MY CHRONIC ILLNESS STORY | Lucy Flight

[@zoepatriciaanne]

I have stage 4 endometriosis and issues with my bowel and frozen pelvis and mental health issues. Having you use your platform to speak about chronic illness makes me so happy. Thank you 💕

[@jessicaumney2528]

Hi, I was officially diagnosed with CFS/ME 2 years ago after 2 years of telling the doctors something was wrong with me and they kept turning me away, or telling me all the tests said I was fine. My symptoms include brain fog, memory loss, muscle pain, , Unrefreshed sleep, struggling to stand for longer than 10 minutes. (Walking and movement is fine just standing 🥺). It’s so nice to hear how normal your life is now. I for 2 years couldn’t really get out of bed or off the sofa, would sleep for 18+ hours a day and wake up feeling exhausted. I didn’t leave the house for about a year and a half. I was told I would never be able to get a job, train to do the career I want, or have a normal life. And honestly the dread and determination that came with that was so large. I changed my life. I started pushing to go back and do my childcare course. I got into uni! I’m now a 3rd year trainee teacher, and every school I go to are so supportive of my disability. However, last week I finally was able to say I have a hidden disability. So to share that I’ve decided to buy the green sunflower landyard and be proud of my disability 🌻. I’ve beaten that person that said I cannot have a normal life. The only thing I struggle with is clubbing (but that’s not the worst thing, I can live with that) Sending love to all x

As someone with M.E who’s mostly bed bound/housebound after 10+ years, I really appreciate when people with a platform speak and raise awareness about this illness so thank you for this 💕

[@Hellylou]

Same ❤️❤️

[@elbutlerxox1678]

As a fellow M.E sufferer, it's so uplifting to see you speaking out about it! I suffer with so many of these symptoms and get judged SO much by people that don't understand so it's so nice to hear someone else say they get the same symptoms. I too suffer with regulating my body temperature and drives me mad!

[@emilyjohnson4561]

I was diagnosed with m.e at the age of 14 after years of hospital trips and tests! It’s so nice to hear that there is people at there with it and also willing to talk about it especially to make it more known as I’m constantly explaining to people what it is and sometimes it’s hard! Thank you for sharing your story!!

[@marthasdays]

You should’ve seen my face when I saw this ! As someone with multiple chronic illnesses to see a social media figure talk about them is just incredible for awareness. Thank You so much for being so brave and sharing your story with us 💗

[@LucyFlight]

Bless you 😭♥️ hope you’re okay and keeping safe and well. Sending my love ♥️ thank you for supporting me xx

[@amz6041]

although i can’t relate and have no idea what you’re going through i’m so grateful you’re still pushing through and becoming the best version of you yet! you’re amazing lucy i wish you and dan the best, always xox

[@ailsacampbell7819]

Thank you so much for making this video! I got diagnosed with M.E nearly 3 years ago, when I was 17, but have suffered from it since I was about 14/15. It's so lovely to hear someone talk about it so openly and I can relate to pretty much everything you said in this video, hearing someone else talk about their experience definitely helps you feel less alone in it.

[@evebeinguniquebeingme6205]

Yes girl I live with multiple chronic illnesses I suffer with Fibromyalgia the most sending so much love for raising awareness 💖

[@gemmag7347]

Love seeing KZbinrs make real videos like these ❤️ I have had fibromyalgia for around 7 years and not a lot of people understand these chronic illnesses. If more people speak out about them, then more people will better understand💕 Great video ☺️

[@lauraplatt6266]

I’ve had ME for 5 years now it was also when I was 15/16 this video really helped me as someone with such a platform I’m really happy you’ve spoken about this 💖💖

[@SarahEmilyAmanda]

You’re so brave to talk about this, I have been loving all the uploads! Can’t wait to watch xx

[@LucyFlight]

Thank you for your ongoing support babe I really appreciate it ♥️♥️

[@TheSophiiieee]

So brave to talk about this online, we need people with social platforms to do things like this!! To anyone else reading this, I hope youre having an amazing weekend?? Stay safe whilst seeing your family and friends!! Remember to keep smiling, lots of love a small time KZbinr trying to spread positivity❤️❤️

[@amelie5702]

Thanks for opening up and being so vulnerable. You are such a precious little gem. Love you

[@sophiebutterill9295]

Wow it's so good you're talking about this! I have IBS and i had a bacterial parasite in my stomach caused from stress and it took SO long to get diagnosed and there were so many tests! I hatedddd it especially bc even when i was diagnosed there's no cure or treatment really i just have to do my best to watch what i eat which sucks! Sending you my love 💗

[@jofincher2874]

Thank you for sharing, I watch your videos with my teenage daughter. She did mention you had ME like myself. I just wanted to say thank you. Your video will help so many people realise they are not alone. Especially those with parents with it. Take care lovely! 💕

[@Laura-xz8kv]

thank you for spreading awareness and talking about this. ive had fibromyalgia since i was 8 years old and ME since i was about 13 and its great to see you using your platform to spread awareness. thank you, would love more videos on this x

[@katmummyof4graba596]

I've been diagnosed with ME for the last few years after a nasty case of pneumonia and other illnesses, it took 2 years for a diagnosis. I have good days and bad but it's nice to hear other people have it too (not that I want others to have it) it just makes you feel so alone 💛💛💛

[@laurah2754]

Hi Lucy, I haven't watched yet but I wanted to say thank you in advance for speaking about your chronic illness. I suffer with two different chronic illnesses and life is hard. I sometimes feel like the only people that understand are people who also suffer with a chronic illness. Thank you for speaking out and helping to make me feel less alone ❤

[@LucyFlight]

Sending all my love, take care of yourself angel ♥️ thank you for your support xx

[@jodienoble6897]

I’ve also got ME/fibromyalgia so nice to hear someone else with the illness and not feel so alone 💜

[@bilchiv475]

I got gastritis and then from that got M.E a couple of years ago. I'm now 22 and some days are better than others but I really struggle with my health and not being able to work and do other things. So glad you're talking about this openly xx

[@lifewithchloe211]

I honestly felt such a relief or sense of comfort seeing this in my inbox. I feel as though I mirror exactly what you are going through. I have M.E also and was diagnosed at the age of 17/18 (3 years ago). The worst thing is not having anything to show for it, no body knows what you are feeling or going through and this can sometimes be frustrating. Thank you so much for speaking so honestly about this. 💕😘xx

[@RAandMyself]

Thanks for sharing your story much appreciated! It sure is more common and you're doing great by talking about it. Viral and bacteria infections were huge triggers for my autoimmune arthritis.

[@ShannonMayxx]

M.E gang where we at 🙋🏼‍♀️ I hate feeling so alone and people never understanding how i feel (unless you have it too) 😞

[@Essentially-Ella]

Thank you for talking about this. It really is helpful to talk about these issues, especially something as common as invisible illnesses. I also have a chronic illness and I think people definitely need to be more aware of that fact that not all illnesses you can see. This was an educational video, I wasn't too sure of what exactly M.E was before this, so thank you!

[@ellawalsh47]

I can't believe how much I resonate with your experience of chronic illness. Thank you for sharing Lucy!

[@laurenhuckle2241]

I’ve had ME for 5 years now following a horrendous bout of glandular fever. I was in and out of hospital for months and it left my body in bits. I’ve had nothing but health issues ever since and the worst part is the debilitating heart palpitations I’ve been left with and the chronic pain. Horrendous! I also have swollen glands constantly and I’m so susceptible to illness. Thanks for speaking about it not a lot of people do xxx

[@jesssaunders4183]

Relate to you on so many things you spoke about here, never heard/spoke with anyone in a similar situation before thank you you so much for being open 💖 loving the vibe and energy from you lately girl you’re glowing 🤩

[@emmastringer5101]

So proud of you Lucy! So glad your talking out about this! .. also forever love your content! 100% my favourite youtuber! 💎💗

[@AnnaandEliysha]

Love your bravery in talking about difficult topics honestly!!! So much respect for you,you really are the realest. You look beautiful in this vid btw Lucy, earrings really suit you 💖

[@holly6800]

My sister has just been diagnosed with Guillain Barre Syndrome having caught coronavirus so I’m glad coronavirus didn’t effect you too much with a weakened immune system it is scary!! Glad you’re doing better, sending you lots of love xx

[@annisince8424]

Your content has been soo good recently!! Thank you so much for sharing this Lucy 😘

[@muireann1479]

Thank you so much for sharing this, I’ve also had ME since I was 16 (22 now) and it can feel so lonely at times, especially being a young person who has it. I can relate to everything you said in your video so it’s nice to know I’m not alone 💕

[@PaulKeywood]

Judging by the comments there are alot of people suffering from similar ailments and clearly these kind of videos are going to help alot of people!

[@easynow7801]

Lucy! You beautiful being. May you be granted a pain free existence. 💗

[@rachaelobrien6638]

[@tracytyrrell7166]

you had coronavirus? can you do a video on this? how u felt... where u think u may of picked it up... havin the test... isolating and how it all panned out

[@marygranger3792]

Hi Lucy . What a brilliant video. ( M E ) is very similar to my chronic illness Fibromyalgia I also suffer chronic fatigue . Everything you said you were feeling I feel , I am currently poorly been on and off antibiotics for different things and I feel like my whole life is over / then today I feel a bit better . But people look at you and say oh you don’t look sick or pull yourself together is another one I have been told . My illness came after a fall at work 11 yrs ago and I haven’t worked since some days I do nothing and other days I do everything because on my so called good days I push myself as I know they are few and far between . I am currently awaiting urgent blood work coming back . But anyway you take care and thank you for this video. X💖💖

[@emmaknight9872]

You honestly don't understand how grateful I am for you making this video. My brother has the same condition as you and when I have told people about it they think I've made it up. I'm so happy that you have spoken about this. It makes us feel like were not all going crazy 🤣

[@Courteneyy7]

Watching this video has really linked to my mums symptoms lately, she’s been getting a lot of thyroid tests done but constantly coming back normal. All the symptoms you’ve explained is exactly how she’s feeling. I wasn’t aware of M.E so thank you for bringing this to our attention. Have you ever struggled with your glans? Thank you x

[@jessicaumney2528]

Hi Court, I have ME/CFS most of my symptoms are similar to Lucy. Except my memory has deteriorated. I got my CFS from glandular fever, scarlet fever any hepatitis. I haven’t since had any problems with my glands but everyone’s symptoms show differently. Good luck x

[@lucy1994_]

Always click straight away when I get your notifications 💕 you’re absolutely stunning Lucy x

[@jemmapricela]

We are literally the same..... how I got diagnosed is pretty much identical, nice to know I’m not the only one out there with it! Sucks that you have it too but you are not alone 🥰

[@tumitobun1599]

Mad respect for being so open 💕

[@LucyFlight]

Thank you 🥺🙏🏼♥️

[@ashbabeeeeex3]

I’m 25 I have all these symptoms I’ve been like this for years back and forward to the doctors since I was 17 on and off anti depressents When I say to people I get brain fog they don’t get me I feel like there’s only me on the world and I can’t consontrate on things my whole body aches sometimes and I have no energy 🥺 I feel awful at times and like nobody gets me Hope your ok xx

[@chloeangela3751]

Thank you so much of this video!!! It so good to not feel alone as I’ve had M.E. since I was 10 and now I’m 19 xx

[@palmtree2k8]

Had this 5 years, have flare ups now and again sometimes really tired and pain. I would say it’s mild now but it can flare up when I over do it. Oh and I also always look tired 😓🤣 it’s not stopped me living my life but I need or slow down and take it easy.. Always guilty of this, don’t really tell many people because they struggle to understand. Sometimes you just need to be selfish. Whenever I meet somebody else with ME I find we can talk for hours about it !!!

[@KatieFrancis]

Love that you’re raising awareness 💗 I also have chronic illnesses my main one is Ehlers Danlos 🦓

[@remimarshall5661]

Lucy this is totally different to your story but I have a hidden disability called Autism and I’m currently in college atm and I’m getting severely bullied bc of this but by watching your videos it calms me down so much. I also hate opening up to people how I’m feeling in case people make fun of me again. And when I go into meltdowns due to my autism, I just watch a few of your videos and I feel calm again. I love your videos so much and you’re honestly amazing to me. You’ve helped me so much over the past year or two 💕xxx

[@LucyFlight]

Bless you, I can’t imagine how hard that must be. There’s always a light at the end of every tunnel though. Sending you so much love ♥️🙏🏼 thank you for watching my videos 💓

[@remimarshall5661]

Lucy Flight thank you so much for replying 🥺 it is extremely difficult sometimes living with it but other times I’m fine and calm which is good. You’re the best youtuber ever 💕

[@brookemarcie6921]

I know your message wasn’t meant for anyone else but I just wanted to say what makes you different is what makes you special, if someone is bullying you for who you are it’s most probably because they’re ashamed in who they are which they should be because they’re bullies, don’t let them get to you 💗 if you ever need any one please reach out, those bullies are just horrible people and you don’t deserve to be treated like that 💕

[@rachelbeckingsale432]

Remi Marshall bless you :( I have autism as well, I know it is hard but you've just got to be proud of who you are and don't let anybody change you

[@remimarshall5661]

brooke marcie brooke marcie omg thank you so much, that honestly means so much to me for you to say that. The fact that I can reach out to you and other people means a lot to me too bc I have struggled all my life to make friends with people and that’s part of the reason I get bullied but mostly for having my disability. I struggle day to day with these inconsiderate people that bully me but I’m just trying to focus on my college course and be happy. But thank you so much for commenting, you’ve honestly made my day a whole lot better 💕💕xxx

[@since0128]

I have been suffering from ME/CFS for the past couple of years and was lucky enough to find a course called ‘The BodyMind Programme’ a couple of months ago. I would recommend it to anyone suffering from any chronic illness, the reduction in my symptoms in the last couple of months has been amazing and I’ve spoken to people who completed the course a few years ago and now they have fully recovered. I had tried all kinds of treatments (massages, acupuncture, diet etc) but this course is the only thing that has helped. Really hope this helps as I understand how difficult these chronic illnesses can be x

[@michellesleeman4451]

From watching your Instagram stories it actually made me contact the doctors and now I’m being put through blood tests and have been prescribed iron tablets and folic acid! I just wanted to say if it wasn’t for you I would still be suffering - thank you for sharing this with us all xxx

[@LucyFlight]

So glad you got something to help! Sending my love, hope you’re well♥️

[@countrycarousel9918]

Thank you for talking about this. I have ME and it's tough. But thank you for rasing awareness and talking about this!!

[@leah2341]

[@bonniewoolley5919]

Well, I think your absolutely wonderful, it's not easy, I'm glad Dan squeezes your muscles it does help, I have a weighted blanket that helps with sleep, my muscles twitch all night at times, I found it interesting that we both have ME, allergic to Eggs, and nuts (mine is peanuts and all tree nuts) I have a bunch of other food allergies, banana's, oranges, corn, tomato and sinus infections when I was around your age alot. But I have Bandemia you should ask what type of white cells are involved, I honestly didn't know there were different ones, and I have low B12, starting shots again soon for that. Your absolutely right about listening to your body...kudos to Dan ❤️😍🙏❤️🙂😍
