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 ❤

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. ❤

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. 💖

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😊

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! 💓

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.

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. 🤷♀️ 💪

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!!!

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! ❤

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! ❤

Jenn thanks so much for letting us into your life and giving us the update on your health. I am truly happy that you have found some health care providers that have paid attention to you! It’s so easy to get dismissed in the healthcare industry and that in itself causes so much hurt and stress. As many of your followers have said, I’m here for you as well! I truly enjoy your videos and your spirit you bring. Many thanks to you my dear! Hang in there, we got your back ❤

Moving was the best thing for you! People, for the most part, seem the care a little bit more down south. Knowing the issue is the first step to improving things. Stay positive.

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.
