the realities of having an autoimmune disease *week in my life vlog*

[@GwenClawson-d8i]

Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing this with the world. I’m in the process of being diagnosed with a chronic illness and this just makes me feel so validated and like I’m not alone. Thank you thank you thank youuuuu 🫶

[@issybee22]

this was such perfect timing im in bed today with a flare up and all my joints aching... this made me feel so seen. God bless you Bri praying for you sweet girl! 🤍

[@brykay]

i’m so sorry😭😭😭 praying you feel relief soon❤️

[@jasmineninopetersen667]

As a content creator, and human being, with several chronic illnesses, I want to thank you for being so honest and authentic! It’s stressful when people don’t take your diagnosis seriously because you also live your life and have fun and go on vacation, but they don’t realize the very real toll your body takes. Thanks Bry ❤

[@gmy_2006]

It's so refreshing to see chronic illness represented in such an authentic and venerable way. I found this video so comforting while battling insomnia during the trenches of a flare. Quickly subscribed and looking forward to sticking around. 💕

[@faithmcateer2946]

Thank you for sharing this! I struggle with autoimmune/chronic health issues and this made me feel so seen! Crying after a trip because you feel safe enough to be sick, cleaning your room even when you feel disgusting bc you can't rest until everything is clean, feeling hot/cold! Thank you for being vulnerable 🥺

[@Sirius.oy523]

As I lay here is bed in so much pain and doctors having not figured anything out yet, I am almost in tears listening to you as your pain is currently a lot of what hurts. I don’t even know how much sleep I got because of pain waking me up or my cat waking me up. But to be fair, it freaks her out when I am in pain. Thank you for sharing your story as I definitely do not feel alone. Thank you ❣️❣️❣️

[@kindredriver8837]

As someone with chronic illness I never know how to talk about it. I feel so seen and I so appreciate how real you are with it !!

[@amyborisuk5464]

I’ve had Crohn’s disease since I was eleven and this video made me feel SO seen. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing the hard parts of your life as well as the good ones🤍

[@katietalbot4494]

Just got diagnosed with Hashimotos and seeing this on my feed really helped with coming to terms with my diagnosis. Life goes on and it’s beautiful. Thank you for sharing! 🩷

[@brykay]

[@marinavasilchuk]

Bry, you are so amazing! I’m so sorry you have to go through this, but I am so proud of you, the way you don’t let this sickness control you, the way you rely on the lord, and the way you still find little things to be grateful for and joy is beautiful and so inspiring! Colossians 1:11-12❤️ Also Libby made me laugh so much😂🫶🏼

[@healingwithvaness]

Bryana, I’ve seen you on Haley’s videos! I wanted to reach out and say thank you so much for making this video. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and started making content about flare ups and how to live a healthy lifestyle with a chronic illness. I feel so seen seeing another young woman speak about the struggles of traveling. I’d love to see more of this type of content!!

[@taraleanne]

i'm so sorry you didn't feel good! so glad that you were able to get back home before it flared up so bad though

[@emilynicholee]

Love you Bry ❤️ thanks for sharing this part of your life 💕

[@krsnalokacreations]

I also have a chronic illness. It sucks but you HAVE to cut out coffee from your diet. It is so hard and saddening cause its so nice to have a fun drink and it makes you feel left out, but it literally changed my life from being in the hospital every single week with flare ups to back to normal and functioning.

[@meghans6673]

WE LOVEEEE LIBBBBBBBBY

[@gracelaine]

I literally just got my lupus bloodwork taken today after a positive ANA test! This is so encouraging to see.

[@brykay]

i’m so sorry 😣 you’re so strong!!🩷

[@carolinejones5264]

Omg yes let’s please normalize flare ups with chronic illness! I know how it feels but no one talks about it so thank you!

[@clairedeyoung960]
