"You are incredibly brave for sharing such a personal and sensitive part of your journey. This not only reflects your inner strength but also serves as a way to inspire and bring understanding to many others. I believe your story, even with its challenges, will resonate deeply with those who watch. Don’t worry too much-those who truly care will listen with kindness and empathy.

This means a lot to me. Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate you

I have been waiting a long time for you to do this video. You've lost so much in the last 3 years. I cant even imagine the hurt and pain you went thru. Fastfoward to present, you have so much more...better friends, Bo and of course your parents. Im so happy you found a clinic that was willing to help you. I saw how frustrating that was few times. Your treatments seem to be helping. I can see improvements happening. Im looking forward to the day you become a healthy person again. A newer, more confident, stronger you that can and will!! I sincerely hope to see that day. Hearing your story then and seeing you now, I am so proud of you on so many levels!! I believe we all just have to be patient and have faith that God has a plan for us...

[@MadelinJ]

This means a lot to me thank you!!

[@matthewrt73]

Thank you, for laying this all out for us. I'm sure it felt like your heart was ripped out, over and over. Very vulnerable conversation. We all appreciate it even more, knowing the backstory. We're also pulling for you to get better and find your way out of this dark forest. All while wearing that signature smile.

[@MadelinJ]

Thanks. Your comment is very sweet and makes me feel very seen. I appreciate you

Madz I am so proud of you 😟 it takes courage to tell about your illness in front of everyone watching youtube. keep faith in God and you will get well. I promise you. 🤗

[@MadelinJ]

Thank u so much!

[@muddimert]

Thanks for sharing your long covid / pots experience, I too have been suffering with this since 2020 after I had covid and yep I too had never been so ill in my life, I honestly thought I was dying. Although I’m truly sorry you are going through this, selfishly this helped me a little to relate as It’s pretty difficult living with the anxiety that comes with this condition, and kind of feeling like you’re on your own because almost nobody understands. I have thankfully been able to keep my Job, but so understand how heartbreaking it is not to be able to live your life to its fullest and having to adjust your lifestyle to manage your symptoms, I miss not being able to exercise so much. I don’t know if you have heard about MCAS as well (also linked to long covid/pots), but may be worth doing some research into that if not, as I found for example that high histamine foods/drink make my symptoms worse. I really hope and prey you recover soon and keep the faith 😊! All the best, Tom

[@MadelinJ]

I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve struggled with it too but I’m happy this video resonated with u. That’s what I was hoping for. I’ll have to look into MCAS. I’ll be praying for u!

[@introman1016]

You're doing well, far better than 95+ % of people globally. Keep it up and you'll be better. Have gratitude

[@MadelinJ]

I’m not sure I understand what u mean by better than 95+% of ppl

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great video Madz

[@MadelinJ]

Thanks!

[@westtennesseefarming288]

It rains on the just and unjust in life sometimes we don’t understand why but god does he know’s it will bring us back into his house. When the world is coming down around you lift your voice up to god he never fails to provide. I prayed for healing for you tonight may god bless you!!

[@MadelinJ]

You’re absolutely right. Those are beautiful words. Thank u so much

[@retiringfun]

Hi. What can I say? I am very proud of you for making this video. Opening up takes a lot of courage for many people, and this is a very relatable story for millions of people. I think this is your best video to date. I have said it before You are doing great.😀🎉🎊 We can see a huge improvement since your first video, physically and mentally, even if sometimes it doesn't seem like it. You are definitely going in the right direction. Keep going, and hang in there. Remember: 'Yay' for the up days and 'whatever' for the down days. I am so so happy for you that you are starting to enjoy things again.😀😀 Do you remember when you said, "I'm in charge" and "I've got this"? You definitely are, and you definitely do.🎉🎊🥇😀😀👍👍

[@MadelinJ]

Thanks this means a lot to me. I appreciate you

[@retiringfun]

@@MadelinJ You are very welcome. I also totally agree with your optimism.

[@texcoast44]

Horses definitely saved my brother's life. They seem to be gifts to those that really connect with them. Hope your channel keeps growing and you will start to get companies sending you that sweet free horse-person swag. Rooting for you. Peace

[@MadelinJ]

they sure are special animals. God’s favourites. Thank u so much

[@AlexDialfonso]

keep enjoying what you have been given. Maybe if we can't be grateful, how will we be given more. Or maybe we have been given enough. I also experienced something like this. It's even been years. I know very well what you feel. When we are helpless and can't do anything.

[@MadelinJ]

I’m very grateful for what I have. I’m a lucky girl. I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling too

[@AlexDialfonso]

@@MadelinJ Yes, we should feel lucky to have this life. Life is about the struggle and how we survive. Not about the outcome.

[@AlexDialfonso]

@@MadelinJ Madz, why don't you make a video of you singing. I think it's a great idea. Along with the story behind the song, or the meaning of the song.

[@hopedz660]

No to frustration and despair. I think I went through something similar, Madeleine. Our minds are very strong. God created them to create, restore, and are designed for self-healing. Therefore, we will address our minds in clear and simple language, in the past or present tense. You would say, for example, “Since I am strong, I have done all my duties” with full faith and details, and this is important. We let our mind do its job so that everything returns to normal. Meanwhile, after consulting and under the doctor’s supervision, of course, we make sure to take what we need of probiotics, as their effect is good and they do not talk about them much, as well as vitamin D and selenium, and we practice gradual exercises to squeeze the large muscles of the body for a short period, twice a week. You are fine, and with this beautiful, sincere appearance today, no one shines like you

[@MadelinJ]

Thank you so much this is very sweet

[@hopedz660]

This is all good, it's just a rest stop that came early. A real experience at a young age. The things you have learned so far, believe me, were not learned by those who went to or graduated from university.

[@MadelinJ]

That’s really nice to hear thank u

[@puremaledark8305]

Hey Madz. I just started listening, but being a fellow sufferer of this nonsense. I cant wait to hear this

[@MadelinJ]

Hey! Well I hope some of it resonated with you. We’re all in this together

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Madz u have beautiful horses 🐴

[@justifiedbyHisblood]

You mean the world to us, that was a great testimony in Jesus will see you through this❤

[@MadelinJ]

Thank you so much

[@kylepliseck5333]

WE ALL LOVE YOU MADZY. ❤ 🙃 🤪

[@MadelinJ]

Love u too!

[@rlofgren6787]

Thanks for sharing your story. Hopefully, the current treatment will improve your health and life will return to normal. Just wondering, do you still test positive for covid? I've had it twice. First time with all the usual symptoms. Felt fine after a week, but tested positive for another five weeks. Ended up with tinnitus the last week.

[@MadelinJ]

Thank you. No I don’t test positive for Covid anymore actually. That’s crazy you tested positive for so long

[@AlexDialfonso]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kylepliseck5333]

DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS. 😢 ❤ HOPE YOU GET BETTER IN GENERAL. 🤗

[@MadelinJ]

The mental health has improved exponentially. Thank u!

[@daschc01]

Thanks for sharing. Did you ever get the COVID vaccine before you got sick? Just curious.

[@MadelinJ]

Yes I did actually

[@Gregory-t2g]

Hi G=j here, some of us, have to look at life backwards.....to whom we once was 2 regain focus. much love blessings.

[@MadelinJ]

Thank u

[@David-g6q9v]

Hi Madz, I was led to give a word of encouragement. I myself will soon be facing a drastic change in life. Matthew 25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:,.. Like you mentioned, you may have lost some friends but have received new friends with those who have been faithful. You are not alone in this. I Thessalonians 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;.. Trust the Lord, He has You in His Arms.

[@MadelinJ]

Thanks for taking the time to write these verses. That means a lot to me. Great words. Thank you so much

[@Reloaded2111]

To be honest, you got lucky. There's a KZbin channel called Physicsgirl, its host Diane wasn't so lucky and has spent in bed more than two years. Her long covid is so bad that she can't even get up. All my relatives except me and my father had covid. Quite a few of my work colleagues had it several times. Not me. I think I might be immune to it.

[@MadelinJ]

Sounds like you’re the lucky one

[@larryvanbarriger6670]

Sorry to hear about your stage 4. I'm sure you'll better as long as you don't get anymore v a double hockey stick. Shots lol
