I have MS. I was diagnosed when I was 23, but have been having relapses since I was 20 (im 25 now). I have been watching your videos for a couple of months and you make me laugh every time. When I am feeling bad for myself for whatever reason, or when I'm forced to lie down because I feel like crap I find myself on youtube watching people in the same boat as me lol so I completely understand where your coming from!
a close family friend's daughter recently passed away from MS, leaving behind her two daughters. and i recently learned that you - my favorite youtuber - have it as well. i came here hoping to maybe get a better understanding of the disease and to simply hear your stories. i love you and you're looking great; keep your head up, lovely. <3
I'm 18 and I was just diagnosed less than a month ago. Now, all of these people are trying to make me feel better and "special" because I have MS. So stupid, I'd rather them be like you.. Straight up with everything and not sugar- coating anything. So.. Thank you JPMETZ!
your videos always make me smile so you deserve to hear this. Im not here to tell you oh it's not that bad, that i know what you have to live with, or that you shouldnt complain because girlfriend you have every damn right to. i know i cant do anything to make you better but i do want to say i honestly love you as person with all my heart and want you to know that if anything you will always have your subscribers to bitch at and we will always be there for you. <3
Aww Justine, I know you do not feel good :( , but you actually look really pretty here. That shirt is a really pretty color as well as your eye shadow, it compliments your skin. My friends Mother has MS and I know how hard it is for her. Hang in there, you always look so beautiful and you are doing a good thing here getting the word out about what it is like to have MS.
I also have severe respiratory problems and while being on inhaled steroids daily I also have bad spells where I have to take prednisone in massive doses so I really relate to some of the things Justine talks about. Steroids just make you feel so shit, you blow up like a balloon, you have mood swings, you get paranoid, for me it makes going to college and staying positive really challenging.
I'm here because my whole family used to work for an MS charity and were pretty active in getting certain drugs legalised, helping people who were relapsing and other stuff and I never really knew what the disease was and I'm interested in knowing what it is from a persons perspective rather than a doctors. My English Lit teacher has MS too. I also have watched Justine for years and to be honest really admire her, complaining doesn't make you weak it makes you human.
I'm sorry about that. I know I really can't say anything but you are beautiful right now and you've got a beautiful heart. My aunt has MS and I can see the way it's affecting her, but one day I asked her how she was feeling and she said "life goes on" with a genuine smile. I swear to God it's going to be okay. I can just feel it and you're not alone :) You've got all these amazing fans and subscribers, including me who feel for you and want to support you. Don't forget that, love :)
Omg Ms. Justine you look beautiful! Your hair has gotten so long, and your lipstick shade is just lovely. Don't put yourself down, I'm very sorry about your health problems. You have my prayers! <3 :)
I don't have MS, but i do have other health issues which can make me very depressed at times (always). I understand your pain, even though it's not the same thing.
All throughout all of my time in school, I've had a couple of different teachers who have had MS. My GT teacher in elementary school did, and my CAS coordinator's husband has it. I don't know a lot about it, but I think its something that would be good to learn about and understand, because you never know what kind of things you'll encounter. I'm also here because you're awesome and your videos always catch my attention, make me laugh, and pull me out of my darkest moods.
My mom's twin has MS. And she can't walk either and has a lot of the symptoms you mentioned. At the beginning our whole family was ...scared and depressed I guess. But a few years have passed now, and it's really not that bad. You will still live a happy life if you allow yourself. :) Don't feel too bad and don't get too angry (even thought it's totally normal if you do)....you're not alone and MS isn't the worst thing on earth :))
I am subscribed to both of your channels now, & I just want to let you know to keep your head up because you are amazing! I love your videos, you're hilarious & anyone would be lucky to hang out with you
Just found this channel as a link from your main channel! I'm here because you make me laugh, smile and cry due to your utter hilarity and fuckyouall attitude! You inspire me to be myself despite ANYTHING and express my feelings, whether they are sad, happy, angry or all of the above aka total annoyance at the human race. You are amazing!!!!!! I love you!
I work as a care aid, and I can tell you seeing MS first hand is awful. I cannot imagine how mch pain you go through with this disease, Justine. Stay strong, you are such an awesome human being full of so much win.
I'm here because I care (just like everyone else who is here). Your videos have been making me laugh for a long time now and so I just thought I'd drop a comment to say that you'll always be incredibly awesome, with or without ms. In times like these, you gotta rely on that unique sense of humour of yours to get you through! Stay strong, just do it! I know you can :) <3
I have MS and it sucks! so do the drugs I failed all of them ( bad reactions) Tysabri nearly killed me! Even the steroids gave me serious reaction. It all sucks! I take nothing now, and am doing OK :) I can stand in the shower, but often deal with depression its part of MS I hate the most. The comedy channel helps.
hey! :) i dont meen to be stupid or insensitive but i dont know ms actually is. ive heard the side-effects of the drugs & so on but i dont know what it causes. anyway i just wanted to tell i think youre a very strong person and that facing a lietime disease isnt easy. stay strong! and dont worry about complaining! everyone needs to complain about something. thats why therapists exist. youtube is your therapist. let it all out :)
I'm here because, I really enjoy watching your videos (obviously!). I have SB which sure isn't MS, but I completely understand the not being able to go out, bladder stuff, not even being able to move... It's terrible. :( I hope you manage to find something that helps you. It's a long battle and every time you try something new you become more hesitant because of the last piece of crap!
Just keep trying. You have lots of people that think you're awesome!
Thanks for this. I have heard about MS all my life but I didn't know anyone who had it and I kind of forgot about it. Now I hear that you have it and it makes me sad because I think you are a great person. I wish the smart people in the world find a cure.
on top of it, you've lost your wallet on more occasions than any other person. ur life is really suckish. on the bright side, you're rediculously funny. :)
I'm here because my dad's best friend has MS. He's been suffering with it for years, and I want to know more information about so one day we can concur it. You my friend, are so strong, you have no idea how much I look up to you. You're making a difference in peoples lives every single day, and by sharing your story, you're impacting mine. We are all here because we care about you, and we actually are interested about the REAL emotional and sensitive YOU. <3 We all love you.
I plan to go to graduate school for occupational therapy and I may want to work with populations that have MS. I'd love to gain some general knowledge about it and ways I can ease someone's life as a health care provider. Stay strong girl!
I cam because I think you are great plus my best friend has had MS for the past 12 years - its now progressed so much that she finds it hard to walk and even harder to run around after her 8 year old boy - its heartbreaking - but like you she guts and balls and gets on with life and I love her fpr it - she is amazing - as are you xxx
I use Avonex and it rocks. I didn't have a relapse since I started to take it seriously. Always take it on time. Never miss its day. Yes it has some side effect but they usually appear on the day after your injection. Then they will gradually disappear. You should stick to it.
I'm here because I friggin love you the frig. You're absolutely stunning, Justine. You really are. And it...it frightens me that you have something like this. I want to be here and tell how much I love you everyday, so that you never forget that there are people that do, and I want to LISTEN to you. I want to hear what you have to say. I'm here because I care so friggin much about you for reasons I don't even friggin know, and I'll be damned if I'll just sit by and let you go through this alone.
Please take some time to look into the Gerson Therapy. It may seem like a long shot but anything is worth a try if it will relieve such a debilitating condition. your in my thoughts...let me know what you think if you decide to look it up:)
I don't have ms but I have chronic migraines and I can relate to some of your frustrations. I am here purely to support you. You are absolutely right about people loving you. I have read a few comments and it is absolutely apparent that you mean a lot to a bunch of people. I appreciate you putting yourself out there. I am sure you are going to help a lot of people through their own difficulties with this channel. <3
I'm here because I love you want I want to be part of your support circle! My aunt has MS and I've watched her degeneration and it's very sad ): She's going for the liberation surgery in the Spring!
I came to this channel because I love you JPmetz, and also my Aunt has MS and I would like to have a little bit of insight into what she goes through.
Why I go to this channel? Because like you I like to bitch about things& people never get that I want them to understand how I feel except whenever they try to understand they start talking about THEIR stories and totally forget that HELLO I was the one talking. Guess I'm selfish but I just want just FIVE mins out of someone's life to hear me out. But yeah, like I said I go to your channel because in a way your vlogs let me remove a huge load off my shoulders. BTW, bitch as much as you want. :D
I subscribed to your main channel, and I was pretty surprised to find out you had MS. My Uncle who is in his late forties has MS. I've gone on several walks to raise money for it. He doesn't really talk about it much, and he hasn't relapsed in years, but I know he knows how you feel.
@courtneynecole you're clueless. Justine, I came here because I subscribe to your other channels & love them, & I like to hear how you're doing. Ignore the haters. Minions care.
my daddy has MS and he is seriously unhealthy in all aspects of his life, it is going to kill him, it is so hard watching him go through this, he is barely the same person he used to be, i miss him. it is very distressing that this is how i'll remember him once he is gone, i am just praying he'll still be here in a year to walk me down the aisle.
I'm 23 and about to go through the scans for lesions. I don't have an official diagnosis yet but I still feel like hell. I can't imagine what its like yet but I can try to encourage you. Good luck!
I'd love to join a channel about MS. I have MS and I feel like no one understands about what I'm going through. It would be awesome if I could join. Please count me in, Justine! Please! :)
My mother has MS and has gone through basically everything you are describing here. She was on avonex, betaseron, copaxone, and steroids. I really feel that the profit motive is pushing drugs on people when they don't even work. Please look into the alternative health communities for different options.
It's strange that you said you think you look "like crap" because I think you look more beautiful than ever. I know it probably doesn't mean much, but all of your youtube followers love and support you. We may be your humble, loyal minions, but we also support you every step of the way. We know you'll kick the frig out of MS. Stay strong, and thank you for being so open and honest about this.
I ended up here because I love your channel, and my boyfriend's dad has MS. I know it's not technically considered a hereditary disease, but it's still possible for my boyfriend to get it, and I don't really know his dad that well so I wanted to hear some experiences from someone I "know" (or, well, watch on youtube a lot) so I know what it's like/what he might end up having to deal with someday.
I used to work with a girl who was diagnosed with MS at age 18... she also had that optic thing to start, and then was diagnosed. I could never put myself in your/her shoes, but I have watched her going through some physical changes due to her medications, and emotional changes. You are being very strong (she deteriorated into a druggie who stopped caring). I'm sure you want to bitch, and it's hard, but I commend you for staying true to yourself and being who you are!
I came here because this was a related video to one from your regular channel. I'm interested because I can sympathize. I have one of those "invisible" disorders and am fairly young...way too young to feel so old, anyway! It's hard to tell people how you really feel when they ask bc they will never understand, no matter how much they truly care. Hang in there, Justine. You're a beautiful person and you have an awesome platform to help others. :)
I'm here because I've been following you for almost two years now and have grown somewhat of an attatchment to your humor. My aunt is 64 and was diagnosed with MS when she was around 30 or so. She too has had similiar problems with her eye and is currently on the avonex. I have seen her transformations as the years have gone by and the frustrations that go along with it. I am here to listen to the side of JPMETZ that I'm unfamiliar with, but also truly care about as well.
I don't usually ever leave a comment when I watch a video here.. But I come to your channel because you are a beautiful person.. and you are right there isn't anything anyone could say or do to make you feel better.. but we can be there for you.. be a shoulder to cry on or an ear to listen.. and you know what I think it would be damn awesome to hang out with you!! I've personally always been a movies and popcorn kinda girl.. I don't have MS but I have a cousin who does.. anywhoo peace n' love
i have a cousin with devicks disease....said to be similar to ms.
i really dont know why im even posting this comment but just wanna tell u that u are a very strong woman...as much as uv had to endure....ur still funny as hell and very much talented. Ur bitching is music to my ears, i have see what illness can do to someone and u always manage to bounce back. Ur awsome!!! Never surrender!!! keep ur head up and never forget all of us...we <# u!!!
I dont have MS. I didn't really hear about it until today. And you really opened my eyes. You have been through tough times. Really...really...like freakin really tough times. You deserve to bitch about your problems. HELL! its your right to bitch about this!!! Bitch away girl! You got another subscriber :DDD Hope 2012 is kind to you :D
I subscribed to your about one and a half year ago, and I really love you for who you are. You are such a pleasant person! I found this video when I was watching one of your main channel, and believe me when I say this: There are thousands of people who would fly all over the world if they had the possibilities to help you and make you feel better! I definitely would.
I'm here because my mom has MS, and her having this disease scares the crap out of me, also, the thought that I might have inherited it scares me even more. I want to know your story so that I can know how to deal with MS if I have it and when my mom has a relapse. Besides that, I'm subscribed to your main chanel and you are the shit Justine!
I don't have MS but I have a different autoimmune disease (Crohn's).
Have you heard of LDN? - low dose Naltrexone
It's used off label to treat MS and sometimes Crohn's disease. Not many doctors know about it because it's not FDA approved for those conditions. There have been trials at Penn State with some success.
I haven't spoken to my doctor about it because I'm doing fine with my medication but you should google it and see if it's something you'd be interested in pursuing.
Dr McDougall has had success reversing MS with diet ... you might be interested. Go to Dr McDougal Dot Com and search for MS, or even search through his success stories and there are some who've beat MS. All the best to you!
I watched this video because my Grandma had MS, and I've always been curious to know what she went through, I guess... She was really brave, but she suffered for a long time until she eventually died at the age of 83. It sucked to see her go through that though, but I always wanted to understand it better and I wish I had known more of what was going on with her at the time, so maybe I could have been more supportive... Idk. :/ So that's why I decided to watch these videos.
I'm here because I have been subscribed to your main channel for a while, and I think your about the greatest damn person ever. I'm here because I care about you and want to listen. I want to be there for you, along with many other amazing subscribers of yours. We really do care about you.
I appreciate that you have this channel. I'm subscribed to you and have always been curious about MS, and just what you go through (although I never actively sought out any answers of my own). It surprises me to know you haven't had it for long.
I have early symptoms and was diagnosed with RA at the beginning of the year (though it's nothing compared to MS).
Life does suck sometimes, thanks for being open enough to say that. I look forward to more videos from this channel.
I'm subscribed to soundlyawake and I watched your skit with him abt NYE so I decided to check your videos out, I watched some of your vlogs where you talk abt MS and I decided to follow you on twitter too since I've never met anyone with a life-altering disease other than me, except mine's called Ataxia and I wanna thank you for opening up abt your life bc it makes me a little less lonelier:)
I'm here watching because I like you. I want to hear. I understand you not wanting to talk to people. I respect and admire that you don't go around crying to everyone about it 24/7, then acting all butthurt when they can't relate because they don't have MS. You're an awesome chick.
justine start smoking weed trust me its great for relieving MS symptoms i know of a lot of people who use it for that and there arent any side effects, except extreme pleasure and relaxation
i don't know anyone w/ ms, but my brother has epilepsy that took forever to get under control. i know they're totally different, but i really feel for u having to live with this life long/life altering disease. i only wish that my brother was mature enough to handle his as well as you do yours. i wish u all the best in 2012.
I'm here because...well Justine, quite honestly, I admire you. Aside from the whole mindless drone thing, I think you're brave, good at applying makeup and sarcastic as hell (:
My grandmother has MS. She was diagnosed in her fifties. So, she's lucky in the fact that she was diagnosed later in life. My condolences for you, I know how tough it is to live with the disease.
I was diagnosed with MS when I was 18. I had the same type of issues on avonex, Im sure your doctor has told you this but if you drink allot of water the night you take it and in the morning and take advil when you inject it helps allot. I was on avonex for about 4 years and switched to rebif a few months ago because the flu like symptoms were really getting to me. I've been feeling allot better on the rebif, but in time the avonex gets better.
im here because i enjoy the way your air out your problems. a lot of comedy is just complaining, right? i don't know what MS is but it sounds sucky. i don't really care that you have MS. wtf am i supposed to do about it? i just take you how you are and i like you that way. whiney and funny. ever teh heroine? might be cheaper than your prescribed meds and you'll be to high tk ever feel bad about anything haha
Basically I'm here because I've been watching your videos for awhile and I care about you and what you're going through... which is super weird for me because I don't like that about people on youtube ever.
Hey Mz. Metz, it's Jen. I'm here because I care about you AND I have gone through my own version of a medical nightmare this past year. I have had all of these vague symptoms and thinking it was MS, they did a scan. Well, it's not, but I have some sort of chronic disease that is putting nodules in my lungs and my bones (the latest one in my brain that is growing) and basically causing me to feel like crap most days. I get it! Becoming a shut-in because you feel like crap no one gets it.
i have been following your other channel for years. my mom has MS and i struggle a lot trying to help her. i am so appreciative of you making this channel. thank you.
wow, I don't have MS, and my only connection is a friend of mine's dad has ms. but this was really interesting. Also I'm subbing because that was a super cool insight into what it's like to have ms. hope you have a good year.
Hey I have MS to, i was 17 when I was diagnosed, and its almost a year ago..I was on pretnison with NYE and passed out drunk of ONE drink and fell asleep on 11oclock! AND I KNOW! I wanna bitch about it too! IT SUCKS and you know what, people don't frickin understand! Or they are TOO nice because they feel sorry for you, or they are too stupid to understand why you can't go out with them!!!!
ps. I'm from holland, pardon me for my bad english.
i dont have ms, i only know two people with ms. i subbed because even though im a stranger, i love you. im sure that ill never truly understand, but i am interested in your story, and i want to have a better understanding, or atleast see what it is like...overall i want to support you and the ones that i know.
I've spoken to you on BlogTV. I am not sure if you remember (not that it matters). I do not have MS. I have an Undefined Autoimmune Disease of Unknown Origin. Yeah, tell people THAT. I have Autoimmune Inner Ear Disease, Autoimmune Thyroiditis and now Autoimmune Neuropathy. I'm currently on Prednisone. No need to say I hate it. I have been on really tough meds too and it blows. I'm with ya, Justine. You are not alone. I'm here.
I'm here because A) I like you and B) I'm nearly a respiratory therapist and when I'm on a neuro floor in the hospital, a lot of the patients have MS and I think watching your videos would really help me with my patient care by getting an insight on what my MS patients are really feeling.
i'm here because i think you're a genuine and good person, and i like to hear your thoughts and stuff. i also want to learn about MS, because anyone i know now could have in in the future. hell, i could. MS and diabetes, that would be a bitch. not that diabetes is as bad towards any extent, i'm just saying it wouldnt be much fun. anyways. you're awesome. you are the shit. keep being awesome, and kick MS in the balls.
My cousin has MS and she doesn't like to talk about it either. Recently, though she almost died and it's only because she was so reluctant to go back into the hospital that she ignored the fact that she had major stomach cramps. Turns out her appendix had burst and she ended up almost dying. She just got out of the hospital two days ago. I'm trying to understand where her reluctance to take care of herself comes from and maybe I can do it from watching you speak about it.
I don't have MS... but I do have MD. Totally different but also kind of alike. MD makes my muscles BASICALLY wither away. It's more complex but, that's all I tell people because it's usually all they can understand. I've been in a wheelchair since 2nd grade and right now I'm a freshman in highschool in a small town. It sucks being the only cripple in an entire town. No one ever gets me. Since my MD hasn't affected much other than my muscles, people think I'm just too lazy to walk. :/ <3 jpmetz
I'm here because my Aunt has MS, and her's is a lot different than yours, so I can't tell you I know how you feel, because I don't. I'm interested in becoming a psychologist and want to see how psychology works with illnesses of the body. I believe you have a strong spirit and I'm glad it doesn't effect your videos to the point where you stop making them (because my youtube channel would be very boring without you). Stay strong, and remember your minions are here for you<3
I've got MS too, but I haven't had a relapse since I first got MS.
I live in Sweden and the government pays for all the expencive medicines. My first medicine was Tysabri, which was the BEST, seriously, my MS just wasn't there! The problem is the price, $28,500 annually! I didn't feel like I deserved it for free. last year I found out that I have to stop taking Tysabri, so my doctor recommended Mabthera. It works just as well for me although it's not really a medicine for MS! + it's cheaper.
i've been on rebif for 4 years and so far have had only a few relapses. i hate injecting myself, look like a damn purple pin cushion :/ it is so frustrating when people ask if you want to go somewhere and you can't because of some daft ms flare up, just get really pissed off about it all. and unless a person does have ms, they really can't know how frustrating it can be :/
First, Fengo sounds like something related to the ICP, so yeah. Undesirable side effect, for sure. Second, I came because my childhood best friend, who lived across the street from me, her mom had MS. I didn't really understand it as a child, but I knew her mom would go from being vibrant, healthy, happy one day to being bedridden overnight. So in a sense, I saw someone else go through it and how it affected her loved ones and family, so I sympathize. Plus, I love me some jpmetz, so here I am :)
well im here because i have mono and pneumonia this christmas season and i enjoy watching videos of people who have worse problems than i do. also my friends mom has ms so thats my relevancy for today.
I have a step-sister with ms. As u know everyone's experience is different. But the mostly raw vegetarian holistic junk seemed to help her. Course maybe it was random. Is this why you had bells palsy I wonder....ugh Anyhow I'm stoked u made this channel, will totally listen, i don't comment much but I've been a long time jp subber. one of the few tubers who still inspires me to vlog. Hope u keep posting woman
I don't have ms, but I do have a disease, and I have to take injections everyday. Although its not the same as ms, I feel like I can kind of relate, which makes me feel a little less alone with this
I don't have ms, but I love you serious vlogs. You're very funny, even wehen you're going through a really hard time. Plus I really like knowing how you're feeling. I know what a crappy year this has been for you, I hope 2012 is better, happy 2011 is about to be gone justine :)
You have the best attitude towards this even though it's mostly consisted around negativity, but people with that type of sense of humor are usually the strongest and I do wish you the best!
My mum has MS too (secondary progressive) It sucks and even though it doesn't effect me directly, knowing that my mum is really sick and can't look after herself (she has a carer who lives with her), it hurts. I like listening to people who are going through a similar thing, it makes me feel that things might get better for my mum. lol end of sad comment xo
My mom takes avonex, the days she injects she is really moody and it's rougher, the day after it's really hard for her too. She's more tired. But she says it's been working on her, she's been taking it for years, she's been doing really good. Sometimes when she's stresses, or depressed something happens here or there, but overall no intense attacks. I should mention apparently a side affect of the avonex was depression so now she also takes prozac, you should def be on the look out for that. <3U
My teachers husband has MS and her life is a struggle she has two kids but to see her walk in with a huge smile on her face everyday and make jokes gives me hope. idk what the point of that story was but i guess seeing her talk about her husband all the time and to see that she loves him so much i just thought it might make you feel better to know that their are people out their with a big enough heart to care and i hope you find someone who treats you like the queen you are
I don't know anything about MS, but I saw that MilesJai liked your video so i checked it out. You're a funny gal. I'll listen to you bitch, but only if it makes you happy :). agreed?? lol
My cousin has MS. Similar story, she couldn't see and was having trouble moving one of her arms and fingers. After a ton of test, and finally a spinal tap, she learned she had MS at 23. She doesn't talk about it much, and she doesn't live very close to me, so I don't see her much and it is hard to understand what she is going through. I hope your stories will help me understand. A side note, she is pregnant and had a wonderful pregnancy. No injections and no relapses. Just heartburn :-)
The channel is called JPMETZhasMS. I don't think anyone expects you to sing christmas songs wearing an elf hat and shoes. Wear the shoes though, they're awesome!
So my point, we're here for you, to bitch at us about things in your life that suck.
I think it would be good for anyone to learn something about things they know nothing about, that are a major thing in other people's lifes. Nice sentence, huh.
I think I may have MS- or something else. Saw my pediatrician (turning 18 in a month) and now I'm getting an MRI. I'm so scared. But seeing JPMetz and how brave she is helps./:
Well... I'm here because you make me smile when I get to watch your videos, and it makes me sad to know that you have such a difficult disease. I just wanted to give you my support.
Can you make a video maybe describing what MS is? I don't know for sure, but it sounds awful and I'm sorry you have to go through it. I'm sure I can never even begin to understand what it's like, so I won't even try. I'll keep you in my thoughts, good luck.
That thing copaxone....(i guess) is shit... mi mom has ms and it does suck... she had like the most dramatic side effects.... she ended up giving up to that thing.
I have MS... I tried almost all treatments. Avonex, Rebif and Tysabri. I've relapsed through them all but I'm still on Tysabri since there's nothing better... isn't that shitty? I hate when people ask me how I am... I get tired of telling them so I just say that I'm fine just they can get out of my fricken face!
I'm sorry about what your going through, my friend has MS. I do think that sharing negative thoughts with others will only bring in more negative energy in your life. How about more optimistic determination and less complaining? Complaining about negative things will only attract more of it in your life. I feel like your very strong and you can overcome what your going through. You should make a video of the things you are grateful for. All I said was out of good intention, sorry if I offended u
You're beautiful Jpmetz... I don't know what it's like to have MS nor have I known anyone with it, So I don't know what you're going through. But your subbies are here for you. You're loved. And if ranting is what you need to do, then go on and do it :)
My mother has MS. She got it when she was pregnant with my older brother. I'm 18 and he is 21. She has it bad in her legs and can barely stand sometimes. It messes with her emotions and thinking just like you said. But it never stopped her from being an amazing and wonderful woman and mother. I love her so much and I admire you so much for bringing awareness to a disease that needs so much more attention. Some advice my mom lives by is that you shouldn't allow things like a disease define you.
my cousins wife has ms so i've heard about it but i can honestly say i dont know too too much about it so therefore that is why i came here. i know you probably dont want pity but i am sorry that you have to deal with something like this. know that there are people out there that care and hope there is something that can help.
It's really great that you want to help others with MS. You are a strong person, and I know that you won't ever let this disease get the better of you. I really look up to you. :) I know others with life-threatening illnesses, and even used to have one myself (when I was a baby), and I really appreciate your attitude on helping and educating others. You rock! :D
Hi jpmetz. Im glad you made a ms channel. I don't have it but my husbands awesome uncle does. Also my condition is very similar to ms and people don't know about so I have to say its like ms because its so rare. By the way its postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome or pots for short in case you're wondering...there's something to google.
Im here because i want to learn more about MS as well, plus my aunt has it. Justine you are a very strong person, and you have every right to be mad; its not fair that anyone to have this disease, you especially. Keep your head up, we all know how strong you are.
my mom has MS. she's had it since before i was born, i think. i'm 17 turning 18 in february. i always helped her when i was younger. my mother is the strongest woman i have ever met. you will get through this JPMetz. keep your head up <3
My mother was diagnosed with MS in 2001 and I've been helping take care of her since then. She takes Copaxone too and she's ALWAYS hated it. It sucks big time -__-
I'm here because I'm a infusion therapy nurse that has a lot of MS patients. One of which I have become good friends with. It hurts me to see what she goes through daily. Justine, you have every right to bitch and talk about how you feel. You have every right to be mad because it's not fair that you have to go through all this crap on a daily basis. If you have any questions ask away.
Im here because I want to learn more about MS and how it affects your life. You are def one of my favorite youtubers and I hate seeing you go through so much and me not understand whats going on with your health.
My father's mother passed away from MS before I was born, so I never got to meet her. I don't know much about the condition, so I hope to get some insight on it through your new channel.
I have MS and it is beyond sucking...no longer can work now on disability some days i cant walk and when i do i have to walk with a cane or walker like i am 90 years old....so damn tired no amount of sleep makes it better and then when you do sleep you wake up with sweat dripping off of you like its 120 degrees but it is actually 30 degrees out..I am sick of people saying but you look so great...fuck you....i feel like shit...
I think I love you a li'l bit XD

I have MS. I was diagnosed when I was 23, but have been having relapses since I was 20 (im 25 now). I have been watching your videos for a couple of months and you make me laugh every time. When I am feeling bad for myself for whatever reason, or when I'm forced to lie down because I feel like crap I find myself on youtube watching people in the same boat as me lol so I completely understand where your coming from!

I also have severe respiratory problems and while being on inhaled steroids daily I also have bad spells where I have to take prednisone in massive doses so I really relate to some of the things Justine talks about. Steroids just make you feel so shit, you blow up like a balloon, you have mood swings, you get paranoid, for me it makes going to college and staying positive really challenging.

I'm here because my whole family used to work for an MS charity and were pretty active in getting certain drugs legalised, helping people who were relapsing and other stuff and I never really knew what the disease was and I'm interested in knowing what it is from a persons perspective rather than a doctors. My English Lit teacher has MS too. I also have watched Justine for years and to be honest really admire her, complaining doesn't make you weak it makes you human.

I'm sorry about that. I know I really can't say anything but you are beautiful right now and you've got a beautiful heart.

All throughout all of my time in school, I've had a couple of different teachers who have had MS. My GT teacher in elementary school did, and my CAS coordinator's husband has it. I don't know a lot about it, but I think its something that would be good to learn about and understand, because you never know what kind of things you'll encounter. I'm also here because you're awesome and your videos always catch my attention, make me laugh, and pull me out of my darkest moods.

Hey there :)
I don't have MS but I have a different autoimmune disease (Crohn's).
Have you heard of LDN? - low dose Naltrexone
It's used off label to treat MS and sometimes Crohn's disease. Not many doctors know about it because it's not FDA approved for those conditions. There have been trials at Penn State with some success.
I haven't spoken to my doctor about it because I'm doing fine with my medication but you should google it and see if it's something you'd be interested in pursuing.

I was on avonex for about 4 years and switched to rebif a few months ago because the flu like symptoms were really getting to me. I've been feeling allot better on the rebif, but in time the avonex gets better.

Hey I have MS to, i was 17 when I was diagnosed, and its almost a year ago..I was on pretnison with NYE and passed out drunk of ONE drink and fell asleep on 11oclock! AND I KNOW! I wanna bitch about it too! IT SUCKS and you know what, people don't frickin understand! Or they are TOO nice because they feel sorry for you, or they are too stupid to understand why you can't go out with them!!!!
ps. I'm from holland, pardon me for my bad english.

I've spoken to you on BlogTV. I am not sure if you remember (not that it matters). I do not have MS. I have an Undefined Autoimmune Disease of Unknown Origin. Yeah, tell people THAT. I have Autoimmune Inner Ear Disease, Autoimmune Thyroiditis and now Autoimmune Neuropathy. I'm currently on Prednisone. No need to say I hate it. I have been on really tough meds too and it blows. I'm with ya, Justine. You are not alone. I'm here.

I'm here because A) I like you and B) I'm nearly a respiratory therapist and when I'm on a neuro floor in the hospital, a lot of the patients have MS and I think watching your videos would really help me with my patient care by getting an insight on what my MS patients are really feeling.

i'm here because i think you're a genuine and good person, and i like to hear your thoughts and stuff. i also want to learn about MS, because anyone i know now could have in in the future. hell, i could. MS and diabetes, that would be a bitch. not that diabetes is as bad towards any extent, i'm just saying it wouldnt be much fun. anyways. you're awesome. you are the shit. keep being awesome, and kick MS in the balls.

My cousin has MS and she doesn't like to talk about it either. Recently, though she almost died and it's only because she was so reluctant to go back into the hospital that she ignored the fact that she had major stomach cramps. Turns out her appendix had burst and she ended up almost dying. She just got out of the hospital two days ago. I'm trying to understand where her reluctance to take care of herself comes from and maybe I can do it from watching you speak about it.

I don't have MS... but I do have MD. Totally different but also kind of alike. MD makes my muscles BASICALLY wither away. It's more complex but, that's all I tell people because it's usually all they can understand. I've been in a wheelchair since 2nd grade and right now I'm a freshman in highschool in a small town. It sucks being the only cripple in an entire town. No one ever gets me. Since my MD hasn't affected much other than my muscles, people think I'm just too lazy to walk. :/ <3 jpmetz

I'm here because my Aunt has MS, and her's is a lot different than yours, so I can't tell you I know how you feel, because I don't. I'm interested in becoming a psychologist and want to see how psychology works with illnesses of the body. I believe you have a strong spirit and I'm glad it doesn't effect your videos to the point where you stop making them (because my youtube channel would be very boring without you). Stay strong, and remember your minions are here for you<3

I've got MS too, but I haven't had a relapse since I first got MS.
I live in Sweden and the government pays for all the expencive medicines. My first medicine was Tysabri, which was the BEST, seriously, my MS just wasn't there! The problem is the price, $28,500 annually! I didn't feel like I deserved it for free. last year I found out that I have to stop taking Tysabri, so my doctor recommended Mabthera. It works just as well for me although it's not really a medicine for MS! + it's cheaper.

i've been on rebif for 4 years and so far have had only a few relapses. i hate injecting myself, look like a damn purple pin cushion :/ it is so frustrating when people ask if you want to go somewhere and you can't because of some daft ms flare up, just get really pissed off about it all. and unless a person does have ms, they really can't know how frustrating it can be :/
really really hope that 2012 goes better for you!

First, Fengo sounds like something related to the ICP, so yeah. Undesirable side effect, for sure. Second, I came because my childhood best friend, who lived across the street from me, her mom had MS. I didn't really understand it as a child, but I knew her mom would go from being vibrant, healthy, happy one day to being bedridden overnight. So in a sense, I saw someone else go through it and how it affected her loved ones and family, so I sympathize. Plus, I love me some jpmetz, so here I am :)

My mum has MS too (secondary progressive) It sucks and even though it doesn't effect me directly, knowing that my mum is really sick and can't look after herself (she has a carer who lives with her), it hurts. I like listening to people who are going through a similar thing, it makes me feel that things might get better for my mum. lol end of sad comment xo

My mom takes avonex, the days she injects she is really moody and it's rougher, the day after it's really hard for her too. She's more tired. But she says it's been working on her, she's been taking it for years, she's been doing really good. Sometimes when she's stresses, or depressed something happens here or there, but overall no intense attacks. I should mention apparently a side affect of the avonex was depression so now she also takes prozac, you should def be on the look out for that. <3U

My teachers husband has MS and her life is a struggle she has two kids but to see her walk in with a huge smile on her face everyday and make jokes gives me hope. idk what the point of that story was but i guess seeing her talk about her husband all the time and to see that she loves him so much i just thought it might make you feel better to know that their are people out their with a big enough heart to care and i hope you find someone who treats you like the queen you are

My cousin has MS. Similar story, she couldn't see and was having trouble moving one of her arms and fingers. After a ton of test, and finally a spinal tap, she learned she had MS at 23. She doesn't talk about it much, and she doesn't live very close to me, so I don't see her much and it is hard to understand what she is going through. I hope your stories will help me understand. A side note, she is pregnant and had a wonderful pregnancy. No injections and no relapses. Just heartburn :-)

The channel is called JPMETZhasMS. I don't think anyone expects you to sing christmas songs wearing an elf hat and shoes. Wear the shoes though, they're awesome!
So my point, we're here for you, to bitch at us about things in your life that suck.
I think it would be good for anyone to learn something about things they know nothing about, that are a major thing in other people's lifes. Nice sentence, huh.

Can you make a video maybe describing what MS is? I don't know for sure, but it sounds awful and I'm sorry you have to go through it. I'm sure I can never even begin to understand what it's like, so I won't even try. I'll keep you in my thoughts, good luck.

I hate when people ask me how I am... I get tired of telling them so I just say that I'm fine just they can get out of my fricken face!

I'm sorry about what your going through, my friend has MS. I do think that sharing negative thoughts with others will only bring in more negative energy in your life. How about more optimistic determination and less complaining? Complaining about negative things will only attract more of it in your life. I feel like your very strong and you can overcome what your going through. You should make a video of the things you are grateful for. All I said was out of good intention, sorry if I offended u

My mother has MS. She got it when she was pregnant with my older brother. I'm 18 and he is 21. She has it bad in her legs and can barely stand sometimes. It messes with her emotions and thinking just like you said. But it never stopped her from being an amazing and wonderful woman and mother. I love her so much and I admire you so much for bringing awareness to a disease that needs so much more attention. Some advice my mom lives by is that you shouldn't allow things like a disease define you.

It's really great that you want to help others with MS. You are a strong person, and I know that you won't ever let this disease get the better of you. I really look up to you. :) I know others with life-threatening illnesses, and even used to have one myself (when I was a baby), and I really appreciate your attitude on helping and educating others. You rock! :D

Hi jpmetz. Im glad you made a ms channel. I don't have it but my husbands awesome uncle does. Also my condition is very similar to ms and people don't know about so I have to say its like ms because its so rare. By the way its postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome or pots for short in case you're wondering...there's something to google.
