Overcoming My Years Long Battle with Chronic Lyme Disease

[@devinsupertramp]

I’m a simple man, I see a ScottDW push notification, I click it without asking questions! I love you brother! Excited to see where you take all this next. So glad your healthier, and happier, and taking on the world!! I’ll be here to see it all happen from the sidelines and however I can help.

[@scottdw]

hahaha love you brother. thanks for your help and support all these years!

[@devinsupertramp]

Always!! Beyond grateful for all you’ve done for me! I know you’ve been dealt a few crazy cards and as hard as it’s been, I’m beyond proud of seeing you overcome them, and where your going with it all!

[@ZakFilmsllc]

Same here! I’m happy you are back and doing much better! I can’t wait to see more content!

[@chriselliswest]

Can’t wait to hear more ScottDW songs in Devinsupertramp videos!

[@kevinstitt8104]

Hey Scott, it's good to see your face. I personally didn't care anything for dance and choreography before I saw your videos and what possibilities there are. They never ceased to impress me. You're a very talented individual and deserve wellness in every part of your life.

[@scottdw]

that means a lot, thank you

[@kevinstitt8104]

Stoked to hear more about this movie!

[@BLAHBLAH1000shop]

Holy crap welcome back dude! Thank you so much for this update, didn't realize you were going through hell for all those years. It's so relieving to see you back and healthy. Honestly, don't sweat about being "worthy" of film or sponsorships or coming back or any of that. It's scary as hell to be on hiatus for so long after the industry has changed so much, but you've also changed and this is a perfect opportunity to express your new sense of self. Keep shooting for the stars dude, you'll fit right in.

[@jason_swet]

Welcome back! You still have fans out here. Your vids sparked something inside a lot of us. Personally, they motivated me to pursue my creative career. KZbin has definitely changed, but quality storytelling is still valued. Happy you’re healthy!

[@peteroverstreet9450]

Scott...Big fan from way back. I'm so sorry you've been through this roller coaster! I applaud your bravery for posting this. Thank you...I'm glad you're recovering and rebuilding.

[@sasharodriguez8560]

Hey Scott welcome back! Im sorry you went throught that but im glad you got back and fought. Thank you for sharing this with us sometimes youtubers disappear and I never hear anything and wonder what happened. It really good to see you back and healthy.

[@ColinBurkeMusic]

I feel you man. I just relapsed for a week after being clean for 4 years. I had to get help before I blew up my life and everyone in it. I know I have a different struggle but it's similar. I've never had the chance to get my music where I want it despite being a "successful" engineer. I also don't have a wife....yet. But I'm glad you're doing better man, and I'm grateful to be alive myself.

[@leeconnor4217]

As a long time follower I knew something was up when you disappeared for so long. I am very sorry you had to go thru all that. I am so very glad you did this video and that your update sees you coming out healing and getting better. I am very anxious to see all your upcoming projects, I’ve always loved your videos and saw a great talent in your work. Welcome back! Sending you healing vibes for your continued healing and health.

[@heyjustj]

I’ve been a Scott Winn fan since before we officially even met in college and a Scott DW fan since the beginning. I’m in your corner and always will be! Excited to follow the next chapters of your journey. Side note: I’m currently doing chemo treatments. As I write this I’m hooked up to a pump for the next 24 hours and man chemo is ROUGH. Those clips of you hit home in a real way for me. I can’t imagine dealing with balancing treatments, symptoms from treatments, and everything else with mental health on top. Seriously Scott I’ve always looked up to you and you sharing your battle makes me look up to you even more. Me along with SO many other people are in your corner!!

[@scottdw]

Brother. It’s been so long. Thank you for this. And I’m so sorry to hear that. All we can do is keep pushing forward.

[@raveniaavagardia7172]

Man...I'm sorry to hear that you've had a rough few years. I pray for your continued recovery, Scott.

[@YourWorldTourGuide]

Welcome back ScottDW! Glad you are feeling better!

[@lordith8930]

Glad to see you around my guy! I grew up watching your content and i hope you recover smoothly regardless if you make content or not ^^

[@RyanFarnes]

Great to see you back. Good luck with everything.

[@jeenpyoh]

Just came across ur channel for the second time in like 10 years, I remember seeing your videos when I was younger and I’m very sorry to hear about your chronic illness and hope everything goes great for you brother.

[@TysonGibby]

Went through a similar health and mental health situation. Your videos and music were always a source of inspiration and motivation to me. Your current good health ,and latest video, motivate and inspire me. Thank you for working so hard to be you and to let your light shine for me.

[@BjornTurawque]

Glad you're back dude. You have been, and continue to be an inspiration. Praying for your healing dude. God bless man.

[@user-alexmok-77]

С возвращением! Очень хорошо что ты избавился от своего недуга, мы ждали тебя и твоей музыки. Здоровья тебе и твоей семье, творческих успехов..

[@brandondelaney9624]

Glad you are back Scott and in a better place all around. You have always created amazing things so I can not wait to see what you will do now!

[@bobdoesitall9314]

I've commented before. I'm in a really good place right now. I wasn't before. Your upbeat videos and music really helped me through tough times. I don't know why. I don't care why. They just did. Your impact and influence extends further than you can imagine. Keep pushing forward! Thank you.

[@ColinBurkeMusic]

That feeling of your peers and social media can be so toxic man, especially when we are trying to recover. As long as we have a healthy foundation, the rest will follow. I truly believe this.

[@JH-wb3gj]

Dude so glad to see you on again! Praying for you bro

[@MatthewCampbell74]

Hey great to see you back at it! Such an inspiring story as well.

[@daftbence]

Hooly smokes! Wish you the best man, when I was a high schooler I watched your vids religiously. Fast forward 5-10 years and here I am, just noticing what I missed from my life, the energy of your superb vids. Get well and keep doing your magic!

[@jackops22]

You are a good guy, truly bringing joy to other people through your creativity. I think that you will get out of this state and find the strength in yourself for the next level of your inspiration and creativity. Create while there is a resource.

[@CEBGoodVibrations]

I’m a Scott Winn fan! I’m so glad you’re here and rocking it. You make the world a brighter place with your amazingly fun videos. Love you brother!

[@jnpetersen]

Maybe another Fruit Ninja? ;)

[@scottdw]

Love you my brother

[@cindyclaassen9969]

Hi Scott. I am sorry you had to go through your health journey. I have suffered from chronic illness all my life and I am so glad that you had the courage to focus on your health and that you are feeling better. You are an incredible creator, I have always loved your videos and music. I wish you only the best. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for you!

[@likklelex]

Yo Scott I’m so sorry this happened to you I really hope you get better. Today I just thought of your channel to see what’s new because I used to watch your videos when I was a little kid and right now this brings back a lot of memories. Thank you for all of the content you’ve put out over the years. Be Safe, Hope to see new content 🤞🏽

[@JayceBroda]

Good to see you back!! My son has gone through some of what you’ve gone through and he is better now than he ever was, though it did take time. Keep at it brother!

[@christophkeller6617]

What a relief to see that you still out there and are even happier and healthier then ever before. I always loved your videos and most of them touched my alot. I have watched several of those dozen of times and will continue doing till the end of my days i think. I'm also still wearing your insanely comfy shirts with pride i just love them :) I actually struggle to find the words to express my thoughts and feelings (maybe also due to the fact this isnt my main language) but i always felt inspired and in a good mood when i could watch and listen to some of your productions. When seeing the BTS i always wanted to be a part of your team, or just be around you since im not into anything related to video-creation, make-up, dancing, choreography etc.... Im just very glad that you are doing well (or at least better) again and still walking on this earth and can be a father and husband for your kids and your wife. Maybe one day i will be able to meet you until then i keep checking your channel and am happy that you are around. Much love and keep being the awesome human being that you are

[@SKX2k16]

Glad to see you are back man! Hope everything works out and you keep pushing forward! Stay strong man. Stay strong! Can't wait to see what you have in for us!

[@scottdw]

thank you dawson! and awesome last name

[@mamabear0524]

Welcome Back Scott! We are so glad to see you back. Your health is more important to take care of first. We were are praying for you and hoping for your come back. So much love and support.

[@bobdoes]

You and your videos helped me through some of my darkest times. Please, please make it through. Know that you make a difference.

[@300lbcanary2]

Excellent you're back on top of things in your recovery!. You need support, you've got it. I know a bunch of folks that would love to help in little ways just to be part of your projects that are back on track and bubbling up in your creative engine, I'm sure many do. Young and energetic can bring a lot when you can channel it. Like the old days and the folks you were working with that not many folks knew. An idea, a camera, friends, and the woods....great way to start and remember that fire moving forward. Peace.

[@aaronsbot]

Welcome back dude! cant wait to see what you make :)

[@Senpai_Jizz]

Hey Scott I hope your still alive and doing well and I pray your family okay too. You've inspired me there your videos and songs since I was 17 and I came across you randomly. I just wanted to say thank you for everything you've done Scott your high school dance battles made me feel and wish my highschool life was just like that. God bless you and your family ❤ much love from Alabama.

[@markhendriksen]

Scott a remarkable story, a remarkable recovery and a remarkable guy - and now back... wow - thank you for sharing and inspiring so many people, wishing you a truly well deserved , happy & successful future. ;) 👏👏🙏

[@ckmom1]

So glad you are better! May you have great success!

[@The.royal.king.]

I’m so glad you are back and healthy! I remember when you first talked about your Lyme disease, it’s been so long but I’m so so glad you found someone who could help you ❤️

[@mickkingswell2431]

Welcome back man we missed you. Happy you got yourself better and are on the way back up. We believe in you. Excited for what's to come.

[@chriselliswest]

We are with you, man! Glad you’re on the road to recovery. God be with you!

[@BirdMachine-fg3lp]

Wow Scott! What an experience you have had. Life really throws us curve balls ae! So proud of you for getting through it. You are sooo talented and I'm so glad the world gets to continue to keep seeing that! Excited to see your movie!! Lots of love from the Walmsley Family in NZ ❤

[@118jackal]

So great to see you again, Scott. Sure love you. Best of luck on this next chapter of life!

[@chendi8316]

I remember I first saw your video several years ago and loved it. I watched all your videos then. I just came cross your channel after these years and saw this one. I feel sorry to hear this but I'm glad that you are back and you are doing better each day. All the best wish to you from China.

[@lukasaffolter4803]

So much love for you! I grew up with your videos and I am soooo glad yo‘re back. Honestly I wish you all the best for your future!

[@caseycrow4000]

Glad we have you back and still with us. Been following you since Scott and Brendo days in 2012. Stay strong champ.

[@chelseabrinkman7789]

So glad to hear you are doing better. Missed you and your creative talent.

[@GS-vx7ng]

Hey Scott, awesome to see you back and incredible to hear about your comeback after what you have been through. Wishing you the best of luck with everything

[@RedDragon72q]

Dude I do not know how I never seen this! I am so sorry and so sorry I posted in another video of where you have been.... I feel bad from post. I hope you do what you need to do for you!!! Be the best of yourself for yourself because only you can be you!!!

[@himangshudomalodas7266]

So happy to see you after such a long time. I hope you recover soon and completely. So excited for your new videos.

[@TRifficVision]

It's so good to see that you're doing better! I remember I tried to find out how you were doing but couldn't find a lot. A friend of mine also suffers from a similar condition and it's heartbreaking to see. I'm so glad you've found the light at the end of the tunnell! The youtube space will be a better place again now you're back! Never be insecure about if people will still like your work or if we want to hear your stories, because we do! I've watched every second of this video because I care. And I'm guessing you have created a fanbase that care about you as well and are glad you're back again! Stay positive, continue your journey, I for one will keep following you every step of the way! You're an inspiration to us all!

[@scottdw]

Thank you, this really means a lot.

[@Tigris178]

Thanks for being so open and real, that means a lot. So often we see only the highlight reels, the on-camera perfection, so thank you Scott for normalizing the struggle and helping other people feel better about not having a perfect life either. Mental health is SO important and deserves so much more respect and air time than it currently gets. I love that you wrote a song about your experience…. What a great way to process your experiences and be so openly authentic. Can’t wait to hear it. My therapist says that with balance, passion inspires energy. I hope you find that sweet sweet zone between slowing down and taking care of yourself in tandem with your energizing music and projects. You have a lot of talent and we’re so glad you share that with us :) We’re here on the journey with you. Passion calls to passion, so do what you feel is important. We feel it 👍👍

[@scottdw]

I love this so much. Thank you for this.

I love the Deutsche Welle hat ;-) It's soooo good to see you are doing great Scott! You went through hell so many times, hit rock bottom and you picked up the pieces and now you are making a comeback. You will succeed, that's a fact! You posting this video really made my day, and that's an understatement lol. REALLY. And a big shout out to your wife for supporting you!

[@scottdw]

She is the greatest ever and thank you!

[@KwasnikPictures]

Awesome to see you back Scott! Been checking your channel every sometime over the past few years and it's so good to finally see youre back and well. Your music and videos were such an inspiration when I was getting started with my filmmaking. Can't wait to see more content from you! 🎥🔥💯

[@maksperminov]

I wish you to recover your health to optimum as soon as possible! I have watched all your youtube videos👏👏👏You are genius!

[@GamerNinja14]

Ahh! it's so good to see you back Scott! I've been a fan since your Star Wars Twerk video and binged through all your videos like twice. Power to you for stepping away from it all to focus on your mental health. It's good to have you back and can't wait to see what's next! ❤️

[@sergejtschernjawski]

When I start with moviemaking your videos get me a lot of motivation. Keep going. Stay health 🙏🏻... best wishes from Germany

[@iron_side5674]

Inspiring. I have just started to go to the gym, partly to force myself to get out of the house some time, smoke less, all that. It´s great to see that you were able to push through so much. The last three years were not the nicest, in general, for everyone, so i gota be honest i kind of forgot about subbing to you. But i still remember your content and enjoying it, so i´ll look forward to seeing more/new stuff. And as for all channels that i sub to, i will always be here watching what you put out, no doubt. Continue taking care of yourself and do your thing. That is why people subscribe in the first place. You doing what you like is what brought people here and they´re gonna stay for that, surely.

[@TimMaisey]

Great to see and hear you - we all missed you! Love the new song.

[@The_Jedi]

Hey man, so much I want to say but I’ll keep it short. I’ve often wondered where you went over the years. I have a 6 year old a 4 yr old and a 2 yr old and for many years now they have watched your dance videos and danced their hearts out in our living room. We have played it hundreds and hundreds of times. It’s been a huge source of joy for us all. I always hoped you would make more of the dance battle ones 😅. I also deal with anxiety so I can relate to that part. I’m currently bed ridden for 5 days now with the flu as I type this so I can’t even imagine how you felt being secluded and sick for that long. God bless you man and I have prayed for you and your family and believe you have great things coming brother.

[@scottdw]

It’s stories like these that make all the hard days worth it. When I hear about the videos bringing families together, nothing makes me happier. I am excited to be getting back to work. And thank you.

[@dallasdandigitalproduction393]

Be good to yourself. We have mental struggles because this insidious bacterial infection causes brain inflammation ... then we have to deal with the doctors who won't treat our Lyme properly. Losing our former selves is the hardest part. Glad to hear you are doing so much better. I'm in the middle of the struggle right now seeking treatment.

[@jonathangraham6412]

The damage is does to the brain is it permanent?

[@GrammaSheila5]

I think the best thing is to find a good Lyme literate doc to help clear out as much inflammation and infection as possible @@jonathangraham6412 ... I think with Lyme we all go one day at a time.

I’m glad your back Scott!!! Edit:but also I’m a lot happier you’re still here!!!

[@1982Geoff1982]

I feel awkward that my comment here is a year since you released it 😅 but it means any video you release is a portfolio of your history. It doesn't die and still lives!! So that said I love the video and hope the best for you. Maybe i was aware of it before. I can't remember. I came to it now, expecting an uncomfortable watch. But i couldn't tear away, I didn’t want to. It was real and sincere and hearing you was strengthening but also scary. What would happen if you didn’t get treaded and just went for an easier but slower life? But no doubt as you continue to go through this horrible healing and recovery you probably will be glad in the end. Just the now is horrible. But glad you are bouncing back.
