The Results are is in!! I have lupus. ☹️

[@cherylzamule888]

I was diagnosed with Lupus when I was in my 33 years old I am now 67. I also have fibromyalgia. I understand ❤ never look at someone else you might not get all the symptoms. I still cancel things at the last minute. It is hard. I learned ways to travel and do things that don't effect everything. I am married with grown kids and grandchildren. You life can be good! I so understand disappointing people. They learn and understand. Remember you can have more good days than bad. Just make sure you are with people understand you. Doctors did not listen to me too. You sound like me. There is hope. Take care of you ❤

Bless your heart Jen. You got an entire KZbin army following you and will continue to support you. You’ll have tough days but you’ll have more days where you feel amazing. Take one day after another and know this can be treated with patience. We love you!

[@Amy0223B]

Jen, it's so frustrating when doctors don't hear you and/or don't believe you. People in general can be real a-holes. So glad Jacob has been encouraging and supportive. He's a gem 😁 It's got to be a huge relief to finally have doctors that aren't judging you and are actually helping you. Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing. You deserve happiness 😁

[@raisingphoenix3374]

I have mixed connective tissue disease and Raynaud's, as well as Fibromyalgia. All autoimmune. It took me 7 years to get a diagnosis. Your not alone in your autoimmune journey. I too struggled with thoughts that it was all just in my head, and people just not understanding. You and Jacob are meant for each other and just remember you are loved! ❤❤

[@angelr8910]

I feel your pain!!! I Have SLE LUPUS it has been a shitty ride I will not lie. My kidneys have failed, had the gi problems, the eye problems, the pain,my lord the infection,all the hospital stays, and everything else that goes alone with it!! But I have had it for 30 yrs. Please rest try not to stress and don’t listen to all the ppl that haven’t got a damn clue what the hell is going on!!! So glad You have some good supporters. We are pulling for You as well!! Don’t get discouraged about the weight I have problems as well all the steroids and the times I not able to get up and move like normal even though I watch my diet. You can’t do everything all at once. Take your time processing this information take a deep breath!! You got this!!! Just do your research. Keep a journal and track your symptoms. We love you and proud of you!!!

[@TheVictorCruz]

I can't add anything more than what everyone else here is posting: At least you now know what you're facing, and how to treat it. Who knows, with all the advances we are making in the medical field...this is totally treatable and livable!! (This is a life long type one diabetic talking here...) Also, you have a STRONG support system standing right beside you. Literally and figuratively. Jacob will always be there helping you...and with all the fans and friends you've accumulated HERE, your support is immeasurable. We are all going to be "fighting" this with you. And we will laugh and cry and enjoy ALL the adventures you will allows to. ❤❤❤

[@saratf]

I feel you. My body doesn’t work well. I haven’t found out what I have yet. My entire life has been affected by not being able to function properly. It’s so easy for others to think I’m lazy, but very few people like you knows how it feels to want to do something and the pain, weakness, or tiredness is just too much. I wish you all the best. You have such good vibes, glad you’re getting treatment, hope everything works well and you feel better soon. 😊

Hey Jen. I found out I had Lupus after I had my Daughter. My muscles went into complete fatigue. I had issues talking, walking, and I couldn't hold my daughter without assist for first 3 months it sucked. My doctor tested me to see if I had a stroke and that came back good. So after two doctors and ANA test they found out I had dormant lupus my whole life and childbirth put my body into overload. I had cancer 2 years ago and bounceback was hard but what amazing bounceback it was. You are going to be fine chica. Just listen to your body, rest when needed, and know even when you are not feeling your best you are doing your best. Sending ton of hugs your way. ❤

[@OptiBee12]

Thank you Jenn, for being so upbeat and positive in such times of personal adversity. You are a wonderful human being. I know a little of what you are going through. A year and a half ago, i was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, congestive heart failure, and renal (kidney) cancer. it was tough, but now I am healthy, my heart is strong, I've lost 80 pounds, been downgraded to pre-diabetic, and I'm cancer free! You can do this! P.S. Jacob's a keeper!

Misjudgment can certainly come from ignorance, but that doesn’t necessarily make it easier for you to deal with. Your openness helps all of us here, your friends, to understand what we need to do to support you. Many arms are around you right now; can you feel it? You are definitely a strong woman who now has answers for coping mechanisms. We all love you; please gain strength from our transmission of healing energy.

Jenn! Im so glad you finally got a diagnosis. I can’t imagine how difficult it was not knowing what was going on. It’s awesome to hear how Jacob supports you. I’ve had a tough time with doctors not believing me and the anxiety and depression that comes with that. So proud of you 🖤💜🖤💜 We are not alone in this!

[@caroleroseburgh1344]

Hi Jennifer 🙋🏽. I'm glad that you finally have a diagnosis. But I'm sad for you that it's lupus. But I'm also glad that you're feeling better.

[@CuriositySavedTheCat68]

Gentle Hugs to you. Watching your video was actually comforting to me because I no longer feel alone. Very similiar experiences for me as well. Worst part is friends and family not understanding and the guilt I feel when I have to cancel plans and not accept invitations because I never know how I will feel on the day of the event. Because people can't "see" the auto immune condition(s) it's difficult for them to know how much pain I am in all the time and they think I'm just making excuses not to do things. Doctors also thinking my symptoms were in my head and basically blaming me for them not being able to establish a diagnosis as my body continues to decline. And it wears me down when I continuously try to advocate for myself so I just give up for a couple months and then try to advocate again. It sucks. I'm glad you now have a diagnosis. 💖

[@jamielmurdoch]

You are such a beautiful soul. I feel so bad seeing you upset. Now that you know what this is, you can tackle it head on and do what you need to do in order to help your health so you can get better. Your emotional health is just as important. Stress can also increase the illness on your body.

[@madebroke7677]

Hey Jenn! Just heard the news. First off super sorry! It’s not your fault it’s just a part of life. I’ve had lupus since I was 6 months old, diagnosed at 25 and I’m 42. Really sorry it took so long to get a lupus diagnosis for you that’s painful enough. One more person sharing lupus awareness is fantastic. It’s going to be ok Jenn, I promise!!

[@pchy99]

Oh, So just want to hug you and make this all better for you. I am so sorry for this diagnosis for you. I am so glad you have Jacob and his understanding of your health condition. Hang in there girl and I hope the doctors and medicine will help your days get better. I am praying for you 🙏

[@Blueskys1972]

I feel for you. I get it 100% I have fibromyalgia, was diagnosed when I was 40, I have had it for 20+ years I dealt with family and friends thinking I was making everything up. After a while I just didn't care what others thought, I no longer needed anyone's validation. It's nice to have it once in a while, but I don't expect it. My husband thought I wanted sympathy, I just want some empathy, emotional support, which I get now. I just decided what I had to do for me. You are not alone. I was tested 2 years ago for everything by my rheumatologist, I did not have lupus. I was sent to physical therapy which is very helpful. I also cannot be in cold or humid weather, those are major triggers for more pain. Now that you have a proper diagnosis, you can now find a treatment that works for you❤❤❤❤ Hugs😊

[@mrstacyj9496]

God's blessings on you. Be patient and listen to your medical team. There are many holistic approaches to treatment that are not just another pill (with side-effects). Be brave, You gave a great sense of humor and a wonderful laugh. Your mountain view (from the ledge) is beautiful.

[@lazyboy6575]

Jen, thank you for sharing your story! Your openness is inspiring! I too, had to move to WNC to finally get a diagnosis for myself. My fiancee (now wife) knew something was wrong with me, and relentlessly pursued the right combination of doctors that could help.

[@bowsully]

I can definitely relate to so much of this, and I'm so glad you've got medical providers that are actually listening, working toward diagnoses, and support plans. And thank you for being open and vulnerable with sharing your experiences. I have MS, lupus, raynauds, eczema, chronic fatigue and pain, fibro, scoliosis, depression, anxiety, adhd and probably more I'm forgetting (or haven't been diagnosed with yet, lol). Medical gaslighting is a thing, and it sucks. Also with dynamic disabilities and never knowing how you're going to feel - I'm so glad Jacob is trying to be understanding and accommodating, I know it's so tough for both of you. It makes such a huge difference to have an empathetic partner who believes you and wants the best for you. I've been there with previous partners who gaslight you and say you're "lazy" (you're not!). It's so hard to learn how to advocate for yourself too. Getting diagnoses can be so validating, even if it's also a huge mental adjustment. I've found it really helpful finding disability communities (like groups on FB, etc) and knowing you aren't alone in many of these struggles. Also plaquenil has made a big difference for me in terms of inflammation and some of my extra pain. The potential eye effects are scary, and the extra sun sensitivity sucks, but overall the pros have outweighed the cons. I hope your new meds help you! Starting to use mobility aids (I use a cane, scooters, power wheelchair, and most recently a rollator), disabled parking spots, etc have also made a HUGE difference for me in terms of what I'm able to do (especially things like conventions and theme parks)! Learning my body and pacing, not pushing myself, like you said, is always a thing too though. Sorry for the long rambling message, haha. You definitely aren't the only weirdo! 💓

[@drea62279]

Sending light and love. Glad you have a diagnosis❤

[@amberanntn]

I completely understand and empathize with you. I’m currently in a health journey myself trying to get a diagnosis. I’ll tell you one thing that has helped me is castor oil packs on my knees. I went from barely able to walk with swollen knees to being able to at least get around with less knee pain. Look up castor oil packs. Might not work for everyone but it’s worth a shot. Hang in there, girl. It’s not easy but it sounds like you’re on the right path to getting your health under control. Love and prayers 💕

I'm sorry about your health issues, Jen. I have a few autoimmune diseases myself for many years. I just read a really good book that I'm trying to follow called The Full-Body Fat Fix. The doctor who wrote it basically suggests we should be eating a wider variety of fruits, veggies, grains, beans and nuts so our microbiome becomes our superpower, which helps our bodies to fight some of these issues. I hope your symptoms go into remission soon so you and Jacob can have lots more fun times this summer! ❤

[@rlcarver]

I was diagnosed with lupus by Carrier A and undiagnosed by Carrier B. 🙃 I have fibro, autoimmune issues as well. A private clinic found a genetic mutation,MTHFR, for fibro from both parents..so double whammy. They also found that I had no D, Potassium, or Iron in my system. They didn't know how I drove there. It really helps my energy to make sure I get my vitamins, but I can only tolerate taking them once or twice a week. I stay away from everything that causes inflammation too..caffeine, and anything that turns into sugar in my system, zero bread, pasta, potatoes, rice... I mostly stick to homemade lemon chicken soups, white fish, and salads with lemon and avocado, which is my only fat. I still have my ache/tired days despite it. MSG salt is a killer trigger, most salt is a no-no. Suggest you eliminate what inflames your body so you can get moving. Warm pools are an amazing relief to me, so I joined the YMCA. I can not be stimulated by light, sound or crowds; although, my brain is okay with Disneyland-it actually relaxes me to be there (maybe the music and sweet smells helps, I don't understand it). I live in socal, many I grew up in L.A. with have autoimmune issues as well. 🤷‍♀️ 💪

So much of what you speak of, I understand. The tiredness, the pain, feeling the cold so much you feel your bones ache....I have learnt to take the "good" days, and on the not so good ones, you just have to give your body what it needs. At least now, you have validation. You have a diagnosis. Now you have a direction, a health plan. You have spoken up, and kept going until you had answers. Be proud of you. I still remember how you drove that U-haul, you are such a strong woman, and so many people think so highly of you. I just want you to know that you are heard, you are appreciated, and you, as the person you are, have touched so many people. Thank you Jenn, for being you!!!

[@mgratk]

Well one way to look at it is that it is GREAT to have a diagnosis and to be able to start getting proper treatments! You'll now be able to attack it with your doctors. It is terrible when they can't figure out what you have. Always keep being a great advocate for yourself with the docs and the insurance companies and such. I've had the misfortune of having loved ones who suffered too long with no clear diagnosis(and the "stress" diagnosis rings a bell with one person close to me, it's so easy to blame). So this is a victory! You got this Jen!!!

I just finally watched the video just now and I wanted to thank you for sharing what you are struggling with physically. I had no idea that you are going through that especially with Lupus, I know what it is like being in my 40's and going through some physical issues like balancing issues as well as Cerebral Palsy and Degenerative disc disease. You are not alone with this, you have a wonderful support system like Jacob and his family and your family as well and especially your friends and his friends as well. I think that you are helping others by your content and the message that you are conveying towards us including me, I forgotten how wonderful it is to smile and to find the joy in everyday blessings and to feel the blessings everyday as well and it doesn't matter what you are going through just continue to find the joy in life and continue to help remind us to smile and find the joy in everything that we do in life. Keep being a blessing to Jacob and to everyone that you meet.

It is difficult to manage when you don't know what's wrong. I'm glad you have a diagnosis finally, sometimes just knowing wth it is that is wrong can help so much.

[@cmiller4171]

God bless your soul. At least you have a name to your illness. Too bad the other doctors didn't listen to you. Your geniune friends care,Jacob cares, and you are truly loved by your you-tube fans. I have a young friend at church who also has other autoimmune problems and was just diagnosed with Lupus. She has good days and bad days. She also has struggled for years without a diagnosis. Do what you can and what you can't do don't worry about it. God put you and Jacob together to give comfort and support to each other. May today be a peaceful happy day for you! Gentle Hugs!

Finally diagnosed 20+ years later with degenerative spinal problems that will only progress...I'm only 39, and have had no one listen to me, I was given Xanax for being a "stressed woman that can't handle pain" and to get someone to listen after that and diagnosed finally (a month ago) is a miracle. I'm so happy that you're getting the care you need finally! ❤

[@stacyedwards35]

Your story is similar to mine but different illness. I have a seizure condition called PNES or Neurological function disorder it’s from trauma from my childhood and as an adult everything caught up from me pushing everything inside and being a people pleaser. I’ve had this for 7 years. This is a condition with no cures, but I’m doing the work and doing holistic medicine and I feel it’s helped greatly. My seizures are less extreme and less active now. I have triggers and things I can’t do anymore so I had to re write my life. I also have endometriosis and chronic migraines. Keep fighting for yourself and advocating I love your personality and your collections. I think if we met we would instantly be friends. Keep your head up, I’m rooting for you and your health! ❤

Glad you finally got a positive result...only so you finally know that that's what it is. I'm 69 and in a lot of pain. I have Paget's disease in my right hip, bad arthritis in my back. Them Type 2 diabetes "gone wild", doctor is working on that and some other pains. So, I understand somewhat. Anyway, I wish you the best and I hope you have more "good" days than bad!

Thank you for sharing your story. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis twenty years ago. Your comments sounded familiar when it comes to dealing with your body attacking itself. Having autoimmune problems when you look perfectly normal on the outside is hard to deal with. People don't understand disabilities when they cannot see them on the outside. Sharing your story with others helps them understand these issues. I totally get what you were saying about your weight and not being to get out and exercise because of your ailments. I fight with my weight problem also. I so enjoy watching your channel you're so relatible and what you're doing is really helpful. I'm hoping in the future you might have a North Carolina meet up to meet some of your neighbors who enjoy your channel.. I am so enjoying the local sites that you're sharing being that I live in your backyard.
