Not strong, not inspiring & I think I've been lying to you...

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

Lately, I've found myself feeling like a big phony! While many of you returning to the channel know something of my health struggles and my having had to pause most of my life and travel plans this year due to unexpected chronic illness, autoimmune conditions, and further complications... I think I may have misled or failed some of you while sharing my story. While it's always been my intent to be open, transparent, and vulnerable no matter the content I choose to share on this platform, I realize now that I've inadvertently kept a big piece of this whole process private and hidden from you. So let's talk about it briefly... the good, the bad, the ugly... the WHOLE TRUTH!! Please be gentle with me, I'm coming off of a very difficult month & I'm trying to regain some of my optimism back, but I had to come clean first. Thank you for being here - especially if you've been sticking it out with me since the beginning 💚💚💚💚 Hopefully we'll be back to camping and cool advanturers soon!!!

Okay, you seriously need to stop beating yourself up. You have been an inspiration, at least to me. I am in my 60s, and I have lived with chronic pain since my twenties. I have been diagnosed recently with afib, and I have days where I feel like crap and where my heart's beating like crazy and days I can't move. I am kind of new to watching your channel, but I have been binge watching all your old stuff, and I am up to January of 2023. You have inspired me to go car camping. I booked one already at a state park, and I was at Fort Desoto for a couple of days and just got back because I saw one of your videos there. It's not always easy traveling or putting on a good face when you have chronic illnesses and especially when you're putting it on KZbin for a bunch of people to watch. I live in Central Florida as well, and I love watching your videos to find new places to go that I've never been to. And you don't always have to be happy and unafraid all the time. Show your real side. It's what makes you human. Maybe go to county parks in your area or show how people who have disabilities or illnesses could still get out and do things on a smaller scale. We are still going to keep watching you. At least I know I will. Take care of your health first, and the rest will get easier as time goes on.

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

Thank you, I really needed to read this today!! I'm so happy you made it to Fort De Soto - it's such a great place!

[@ErinFoferin]

The fact that you do all of these things to try to keep some "normalcy" in your life, want to continue being a good mother etc, verifies that you ARE a strong, positive warrior. So many people would give up on life if faced with the same battles and you have not. You really are a fighter and a true inspiration. Hang in there, beautiful soul. ❤

Heather...You ARE an amazing person who is strong and inspirational. You are a Chronic Illness Warrior like me and many of your followers. Each and every one of us can empathize with all that you are feeling and describing. We all try to present ourselves to the world in the most positive way we can...But, sometimes we just can't put on that mask and pretend. Sometimes we are just feeling too badly, either physically or mentally. Those are the times we scream, cry and wish it would all just end and that would just go to "a better place". But, because we are Warriors, we somehow get through all the shitty cards we have been dealt, and we push forward. YOU do even more than most of us because you spread awareness and you do help other people. Your genuinely loving and caring nature shines through everything you do. YOU HELP SO MANY PEOPLE. WE APPRECIATE YOU. WE PRAY YOUR HEALTH IS RETURNED.❤️

Hi Heather. I think those of us that have watched your videos before you became ill and have watched since all of these things have started happening to you, do not see you as a fake or a pretender or putting on an act. You're not supposed to share your whole life with us, but, what you do share with us these last months have shown us how strong you are and you are strong because if you weren't, you wouldn't still be in front of a camera talking with us about your life. But you are human, and it's okay to be scared. I can't imagine waking up in the mornings and wondering what betrayal my body is going to do during the day. Of course, we never know what to expect every morning we wake up, but when you are going through what you've been going through, wow. Just know you have subscribers who care about you and are concerned for you and hope you get answers to what's happening to you. Just never give up. You are going to be okay. ❤❤❤

[@virginiawedell9715]

My dear sweet Heather, I hope the words of everybody who commented get through to you. Most of us know the horror of dealing with chronic illness and the despair that entails. Most of us know the failings of our healthcare system and the dangers we face when hospitalized. Most of us know the horrible feeling that we have when faced with the unknown. We have all sobbed in despair and fear of what will happen next. I’m sorry to contradict you darling, but you are a warrior. Anyone who has been through what you have and keeps going, not giving in to the temptation to just withdraw from life is a true warrior. Don’t sell yourself short my dear girl. Keep putting one foot in front of the other, keep doing the best that you can do even if that’s just wiping away the tears and refocusing your energy on yourself and getting better. You are a brave heart, Heather. You are helping people to not feel so alone in their struggles with their own health issues. Maybe that is your calling right now. Please just give yourself a break and know that we care about you and we are here for you. 💙🩵💚

[@Michelle-bw1xg]

Heather, you are strong and an inspiration, and good, real content...I marvel at what you are doing with all you're going through. No one has a perfect 24/7 life, especially not those facing true challenges and there is no expectation that you be anyone but yourself. Produce what you want to, in the capacity you are able. I'm facing different medical issues, suffering every failure of the medical system, and when most ill having to dedicate nearly all my (short) leave in advocacy for myself instead of rest and actual treatment. Your videos have helped me not feel alone. We are all entitled to privacy and to confer with our support system when we need it most. Best to you and your future adventures...

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

I understand what you are saying. I have multiple health issues that include 2 strokes, diabetes,high blood pressure, and a rare condition called Acromegaly that resulted in a brain tumor. On the outside I look fine so people think I am exaggerating when I have one of my bad days. Keep your head up and focus on your physical and mental health . You are doing the best you can and that's enough. Your videos are always honest and informative. I pray your good days always outweigh your bad days.❤🙏

It is definitely frustrating and hurtful when people minimize or negate your struggles just b/c they aren't visible to the nake eye.

If viewers don't want to be there then they will go on to the next video but some of us will listen and reply! You ARE brave and an inspiration! Maybe you can't get out right now but maybe you could plan and create videos about future "dream" trips and why you would love to see certain parks/areas, just a thought.

No one thinks you’re a phony Heather, at least no one should be. We all should know that even depression has smiles. Suffering illness as debilitating as it may be doesn’t mean you don’t have good days and making content obviously it makes sense to post then. But of course I’m sure we can all imagine the difficulty, the pain, the fear, the sadness, the confusion, the anger. There’s a A LOT that people don’t see and that’s ok, that’s normal. You don’t have to show your most vulnerable moments for you to be authentic. You’re allowed to have privacy. You’ve always been very transparent and that’s why you posted this but you owe no one an explanation for your experiences. I sincerely hope that your treatments work and help you feel better to live a quality of life that you feel satisfied with! Aka, advanvturing and hiking and taking photos! I wish so much healing and good life for you! Edited to add : I am SHOCKED and disgusted that an ultrasound tech or radiologist made that error!! I am an ultrasound tech and I’m sorry but how do you not see a thyroid gland or see that it’s gone and make one up?? It’s not that difficult! A tech should know better and a radiologist too! Unless it was a clerical error and someone else’s results were put into your chart! That’s still scary as hell!

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

About your edit, it really is scary, and makes it hard to trust any results sometimes, to be honest. I've talked to so many people that have had similar stories. I know how overworked and understaffed the whole medical industry is currently, and that everyone is stretched thin & tired, but the costs keep going up, and peoples lives are on the line, so it's scary how much you are essentially putting your life in someone else's hands that might not be paying attention, or just copy & pasting to get through paperwork!

I agree with everyone’s comments that are here so far. Give yourself grace. You are doing everything you can. It’s not like you’re sitting around and not being proactive. You are doggedly trying to get to the bottom of this complex medical issue. I so agree with you about medical professionals glossing over things and not listening to patients. If you don’t fit into the slot/category they think you should, it doesn’t seem to register with them. Soon you’ll have more answers and can know better what you are dealing with. Time for the next foot in front of the other!

[@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures]

You are so spot on about so many medical professionals. It was also very eye opening for several of fhe doctors (including both that examined me in the emergency room) immediately went to the same diagnosis I feel is correct, without me saying a thing! But b/c the MRI doesn't definitively confirm it (or rule it out) it's like they're not even entertaining it yet. To me, if you meet all the symptoms/criteria, have abnormal tests you would expect to have, and it explains all of my (previously "unrelated" symptoms) as well, you would think they would proceed with a working diagnosis & try to treat accordingly for now (especially since the treatment they tried in the emergency room & hospital helped the way it would be expected to with my diagnosis! ) it's so frustrating how bureaucratic it all is!!

[@kirstenstrobel4387]

@@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures My thoughts exactly! We are in central FL also and came here only for the medical care. If we could be almost anywhere else, we would leave the heat and humidity behind. We were previously driving 2 hours to go to Vanderbilt University and Nashville docs; not too impressive. Our daughter insisted we would have better results here, and we have. A couple of our docs are just okay, but several are amazing in all ways. We keep saying they can’t all graduate at the top of their class and it is the “practice” of medicine after all.

So far the autoimmune ones confirmed are alopecia, fibromyalgia, and most recently POTS. They also think my skin condition of Lichen planus is caused by autoimmune response as well. They are still evaluating me for MS, and did a lumbar puncture to look for any autoimmune diseases or other conditions that originate in the central nervous system. Because of my chronic migraines, vision changes, and other GI and heart issues, they think those are all related to either my POTS or another condition they haven't identified yet, instead of being separate issues. It's such a process!!

[@andelbee]

Oh Heather. You are no poser. When you deal with chronic illness, especially the mysterious sort that’s not visible to the observer, some days “courage” means finding the energy to brush your teeth. Some days “Warrior” means actually getting the dishes done. I’ve had mornings, way too many mornings, when “champion” meant being brave enough to let my excruciating feet touch the floor and bear my own weight. It doesn’t take courage to do the easy things. What you’re doing, every day, whether we see it or not, is courage, even if you do it while weeping, even if you do it when you’re filled with despair. You soldier on. Not every minute, not even every day. But you keep getting back up. It isn’t the falling that defines you. It’s the rising again and again. And to be clear, some days it will take all the rising you can do, just to lie in bed and breathe and not panic, and not decide that breathing isn’t worth the trouble. The fact that you actually make the effort to share any of it with us, to pass on some of the things you’ve learned in the course of suffering, to also try to share what it is about life that makes you keep fighting to live it-that’s what makes you inspiring. And that said, let me also say this-your first job, your most important job, is to listen to your body and give it what it needs. So if you need rest, don’t feel like you should be making a video. It’s not Xena the (fictitious) Warrior Princess we care about. It’s Real Heather the Human. If you posted a video that just said, “Still here. Still trying. More soon!” we’d all still give it a thumbs up. And oh how we will rejoice with you, when you finally get some of the answers you need. So as you face these unspeakably hard days, please remember that Real Heather, on the best of days and the worst of days, is exactly the Heather we love.
