OMG ABOUT THE DRY FINGERS!!!! My fingers and hands break and bleed constantly in the winter. It's SO bad. What I do that makes it so so so much better is aquaphor. I put literally globs of it on my hands and wear a cotton glove to sleep and i wake up and it's like 50% better. im not kidding. idk why im so excited about this lol

[@AllThingsTrueCrime]

Ahhh I’ve missed your vlogs! 💜

[@MamaWithAFro]

Welcome back! So glad to see u. Can you use Vaseline? I know it helps with eczema but you have to reapply frequently. Also Trish is a Godsend. She needs to be teaching her skills to others!

[@vanessagarcia9152]

I love seeing your smiling face again! Always following you on your journey. 😊 So thankful for you

[@bellabullock-marks462]

Oh my god! I was so worried about you. I’m so glad you’re okay.

It’s so so so good to see you! How I missed your wonderful and contagious smile. Keep that head up girl, your doing great! xoxo

So happy to see that you are okay. I was so worried and super excited to see you post finally! Best well wishes!

[@olgagnatyuk2441]

I am so glad you are back on KZbin and "back in our lives" God bless you, sweet girl! I love your vlogs! They inspire me, encourage me, educate me, they make cry and laugh at the same time!

[@chemicalbreath]

Nice to see you. I miss you very much. You always look glowing. Prayers.

[@weral6624]

Uploading a video demands a lot of energy and time from her, let's praise her for her hard work she did! 💕

[@MagicLuver101]

Yay! It's good to see you back!

[@eveenz7165]

I was so excited to get a notification for this vlog. Either way of vlogging in order or not is completely up to you. You are so amazing to be positive. Sending you love from New Zealand ❤

[@jadeybear3159]

I'm from New Zealand too ❤

[@melmimosa9357]

Hi Christina, glad to see you back on youtube 💚 i have quite bad circulation as well and i get those dry hands too. They eventually end up cracking open and healing very slowly. What i do is lather very concentrated moisturizer or a fat-based ointment on my hands before bed, and then put gloves on to protect my bedsheets 😅. During the day i try to use hand creme as much as possible and use gloves while working :)

[@cookiecutter80]

I am so thrilled to see you back posting! I used to watch your vlogs on my bus ride to work, I loved having them. I then moved house and started driving, right around the time you stopped vlogging. Kept up to date via instagram. But so lovely to have a video again! I find your blogs soo uplifting and inspiring! As for the order. I am all for being caught up! But I am just happy with whatever vlog I can get! Nice to hear your voice and see your beautiful face. Keep on being amazing!

[@curiouscatalyst]

You could do monthly vlogs rather than weekly vlogs for the catch up videos - though I don’t know if that’s actually easier in practice! Most importantly, take care of yourself, and all will fall into place in time. Sending the very best to you and yours 🖤

[@iceeyes4478]

Glad to see you're doing a bit better! I was so happy to see your video today, I've missed them!

[@chellebelle4296]

It is sooo good to see you and hear you again. Welcome back :)

[@dawncathlene6173]

I'm interested to see how the pain thing works. My dad has had several back surgeries and is fused all the way from his neck down and is in constant pain. One of the things that helps take the edge off (nothing rids the pain completely) is he has one of those pain stimulator impacts that disrupts the pain signals. His is implanted with rods, I didn't realize there was electromagnetic options.

[@rachelchristensen9326]

Yes, I was extremely excited when you popped up on my screen! Regarding beyond dry skin to the point of cracking and breaking. I get that with not just my fingertips but my fingernails and cuticles. It’s especially hard for me as I am legally blind and need my fingers to see. The best moisturiser I have found is Burts bees Almond that comes in a tin. Along with that are use as much nail and cuticle care products/oils as possible. But it still happens..I think it’s like an EDS thing - sucks. It really affects my ability to see as I use my hands fingers for things that other people would use their eyes for. So I too will be looking out/listening out in the comments for other people‘s ideas. (I read my computer/iPad/iPhone screen by using voice-over). So good to hear your voice again. 🧚🏼‍♀️🦋🌈🌟💐👍🇦🇺

[@bayleighc.5843]

So excited to see a new vlog! I follow you on Instagram, but it's not quite the same as seeing your lovely face in your videos ❤ I don't care if you upload the old footage or not, I just like being able to see what your life is like, and learn more about our shared condition (which my little sister also probably has, so I try to keep up to date with researching so I can catch any symptoms she develops before she ends up as incompasitated as me) Also, my siblings and I all used to get cracked hands that would bleed, and my mom would coat our hands in coconut oil every night (I don't know if you're allergic to coconut oil, I'm sure you could use another really moisturizing oil instead) or some kind of farmer's salve, I'm pretty sure Burts bees has one...

[@lisaclutton4294]

So wonderful to see your beautiful smiling face again Christina!!

[@willowithywindle]

So very pleased to hear from you again❤

[@Vikiexo]

So glad you’re well enough to edit again! A couple months ago I ordered the same knee brace (thanks to your reviews) for my patellar pain and partially torn LCL last year and I LOVE it, it gives just enough support so I can be on my feet at work for hours on end without pain, and just spent almost 3 weeks hiking with it!

[@nancymandle5215]

Dear, wonderful christina!!!!!!!! While i was able to find some of your posts on facebook it was impossible to tell from them if you were critically ill, had decided that youtube was too exhausting, or just chose to share with a much smaller circle. I have followed you from so far back that i even remember a watercolor (or was it illustration???) video you did when you seemed to be deciding what sort of content to put out there. WELCOME BACK, to whatever extent is best for you - (I was soooo worried about you....).

[@The-ii5mj]

I'm so glad to see you back!!!! Don't worry.. just do what you can. But I'm happy to see you!!!!!💖💖💖💟✌✌

[@kaylabarnes]

Please, be safe about it. But I wanna see your face super soon.

[@loricave]

I too am so happy you uploaded a video. Really missed you alot.

[@susanswanson7757]

I'm happy to see you Christina. In the introduction to of the video you looked happy. I hope your sister's surgery was a success and that your mom's wrist healed well.

[@timwillis7129]

Young lady I think your amazing ! Bless your heart . There are so many people in the world that have chronic health issues they have to live with and struggle with including myself . I have alpha 1 anti trypsin deficiency ( a genetic type rare disease of the lungs ) which causes me to have severe emphysema . You are an inspiration with your beautiful smile and attitude . Don’t lose your sense of humor throughout your journey. I’ll be putting you on my prayer list . 😎🇺🇸❤️

[@kellymyers7506]

Omg! I’m so happy you’re back! I missed watching your channel every week❤️

Missed you tons, sweet girl! 💗

[@elsienewcombe3575]

I missed you so much! I’m so excited to catch up!

[@sarah8392]

So happy you're well enough to post again! I know it's not January anymore, lol, but for cracked hands I've found that any moisturizer with lanolin in it stays on my skin the longest and keeps my skin from cracking. Bloody Knuckles Hand Repair Balm works really great and plus it's fragrance free

[@sharonrobertson9062]

Welcome back! I'm totally jazzed that you are feeling up to doing vlogs again!

[@earthandfire4840]

Im wishing you well Christina. Im so sorry things have been downhill but im sending you all my prayers and love.

[@janetjones1952]

I’ve missed you so much and was worried about you. You have the most beautiful smile. Love to you and your family.❤️

[@kyls37]

I have just rewatched ALL your vids Christina !!! I hope you are doing ok and feeling well? I am dying for the next vlog to come up so hoping your are well enough and have the energy to do them soon. Take care, Kylie xxx

[@b94454]

I'm happy you are back! I was worried.

[@peachi3sweeti3]

oh my goodness Christina I missed your videos so much!!

[@gointothedogs2]

You have been missed but no pressure to do anything but to live fully! Your a,busy girl and doing it all with lots of equipment and appointments. That you are still filming it all is incredible...and the editing so much back log has to be tedious. Jyst to come on and give some undeited or a live visit without the hassle for you and just ho back and update the other stuff as you feel it is right. Im just very happy to know your hanging in there and that sweet smiles always a great thing to see. But here even through the hard times.

[@barbh1]

I'm so glad you're back! You look great!

[@calibateman]

It’s so great to see you again. I missed your videos. It’s so great to see you looking well on your intro.

[@mek531]

I was taking Gabapentin/Lyrica for nerve pain after surgery, and let me tell you, the side effects were horrendous! I’m glad you’re looking into alternatives Christina!

[@albanymountainhomestead]

I do not believe these types of meds work for spinal cord nerve damage, but works more for diabetics... I hate those meds with a passion and doctors prescribe this instead of meds that actually work for pain 😥

[@dortelandwie2390]

So good to see you ❤💚❤

[@jordancampbell9656]

Soooo happy to get a video!! I know it’s been a rough few months

[@melodyannelove4866]

Hello beautiful girl, my name is Melody and I actually stumbled upon your page. I have been a nurse for about 14 years now and I just wanted to tell you that I think you have a beautiful soul and spirit that are so full of love and light, and there are so many people without disabilities who are just awful and they just have a huge hole in the soul (what I like to call it) Anyway sweetheart I wanted to give you praise on sharing your life and also educating people. I know you know you are educating people on your disease process but I just wanted to remind you in case you might have forgotten which I don’t think you have, that you are teaching people to be beautiful, teaching people to be strong, to always keep your truth pure and beautiful. I wish you all of the of the love and beauty you can handle 😘

[@darkbluematter1753]

Yaaaaaaaay!!! You're back! So excited. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@Crowcifixx]

I definitely prefer watching you in the current time but I totally understand wanting the continuity too, and to have the videos in order! At the end of the day I love your channel so much I just want you to be happy and do what you want for your channel!

[@sarahb1557]

I’m newly diagnosed with EDS and I’ve been full on binging your videos😂 you’re such a gentle and happy soul. On another note do you still have an Etsy store? The link doesn’t seem to work for me 😕

[@junglequeen7386]

thank you for the upload, luv. its good to see you back! ❤

Yeah!! Welcome back, Christina!!

[@emporesszia]

So glad to see you are back! I've missed you and your videos so much! Glad you're feeling up to editing again!

[@Ari_Wil]

I've been binge watching old videos because I missed your presence in my life. So happy to see a new video!

[@nettieclouse9750]

So glad to see your lovely self through video again! Keep taking care of yourself sweet lady as you have been! You and your health are worth it more that making videos. It's just really encouraging to see you! Great big and gentle hugs my friend!!!! Per your question on the fingertip with cracking or dry... I like you have EDS and Raynaud's and my fingers never crack but on occasions a few of my fingers will get on the dryer side and what I have figured out is that when my fingers touch the velcro on my SI belt or my neck brace is when I start having issues... I don't even have to touch the prickly part of it. It could be mcas ? As I have issues with that also... What I have found that works pretty well for my little fingers is Burts Bees Milk and Honey lotion! And all of you crochet is very pretty!

[@greyv9107]

welcome back! was worried about you, glad to see youre okay and seem to be doing well! dont overwhelm yourself with work, if you cant do all the weekly vlogs thats okay!

[@justn9124]

You’re back! Welcome back! Now I have something to look forward every week! Yay!

[@purpose4greatness]

So happy! I literally thought, " its been a long time since Christina has posted a video..I hope she's doing ok" and then there was a new video!! Can't wait to see the back footage.. in whatever order ..it comes!!💜💜💜

[@carlywolf8991]

I know this was vlogged back in January but I have the same issues with my fingers during winter. I get the strongest lotion I can find and get cloth gloves and wear them overnight. It got better for me in about a week! I’m really glad your back vlogging!

[@elizabethl8407]

I'm extremely short so asking for help at the grocery store is the story of my life! I couldn't have gotten that box down! :) Good for you! This is making me want to start taking my sensory-overload 13 yo with me shopping... she always resists going...

So, so happy to see this! You have been so missed. Welcome back!

YAY! So happy to see you uploading and feeling better? Us Warriors want nothing to be happening, it would be great just to see you more. 😊❤️

[@ZijnShayatanica]

I initially created my IG just so I could follow you there & get the quick updates on your progress & whatnot. I know how much easier that is, but... Holy fuck, did I miss hearing your intro & listening to you talk/seeing your facial expressions! It's like getting to hang out with you. 💜

[@kimberacrylic]

I think you should do a montages of the greatest hits of the last six months then just continue weekly ❤️♥️❤️♥️ so glad you're back!!!!

[@dianeluke1746]

I’m so glad you’re back Christina! I was worried when the blogs stopped, but I just kept hoping that whatever happened, you would persevere and return, and you have. ❤️ Here is my welcome back ditty (changing a few key words): “Well, Hello Christina, well Hello Christina, it’s so nice to have you back where you belong! You’re looking swell Christina, I can tell Christina, you’re still glowing, you’re still crowing, you’re still going STRONG!” 😊💜

[@billiebluesheepie2907]

I'm so glad to see a new video from you! I've missed your uploads, but I know that you've been taking care of #1- what is most important! Looking forward to see what comes next. :)

Is this from January or June? haha! Either way, glad to have you back!! I always looked forward to your videos.

I can't believe that I missed this upload! KZbin has failed me! Glad to see your smiley face again though 😆

[@noemimassaro2377]

I've missed your videos a lot! Kisses from Italy!

[@highhopes151]

I am so happy that you are ok and that you are starting to upload your video's again. I was just wondering what the brand of the essential oils you used in this vlog is please? as I would really like to try them. I have really missed not seeing your vlogs and I can't wait to see them. Take care and God bless your family. xxx

[@sunglassesgirl]

Yay! Christina is back on KZbin! =) On a more serious note... you might have fewer issues with your hands in the winter if you wear a good, warm winter coat AND good, warm FULL-fingered gloves that cover your ENTIRE hand. _(I have sensory processing disorder, and my legs can go numb if the temperature drops below a certain point and I'm not wearing tights under my pants... every little bit helps... I look absolutely ridiculous in the winter BUT atleast I can get to and from my car without losing sensation in the skin on my legs.)_

[@phoebelouise7076]

Love the vlog! ❤️ So happy to see you posting! I was curious to know if all your joints are hypermobile? I have EDS and my knees aren’t super hypermobile. Curious if anyone else has this.

[@rachelleeds9804]

I’m the same way! For me it’s because my hamstrings are tight and they keep my knees from hyperextending

[@katyneuman4476]

Oh my goodness I was so happy to see your face! I've missed you so much! Sending love❤❤

Yeeeeeeey! Just happy you posted something! I got used to your weekly videos but im just happy you are okay.

[@jonh9356]

Missed you. I am so glad that you are back because I was getting a little worried that you were not posting. Also I was wondering if you could make a video where you talk all about your wheelchair and the features it has and why you chose the type you did. Thank you so much for just being you and spreading awareness of chronic illnesses it really helps me and many others. I hope you are doing well. Much love.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Happy you’re continuing to heal and so nice to hear that comforting outro music. Missed your vlogs but knew you had to put first things first and I’d check your instagram. Take care.

glad to see you are back! its good to take a break. i might have to start a vlog myself even if its just to hold myself accountable in doing daily things (physio. eating safe food. working on art stuff.)
