[JukeJointJezebel70]

I found your channel a few weeks ago and just want to tell you that you are not alone. Send me a message if you ever need to talk. I had gastric bypass 6 months ago, and have lymphedema, Meniere's and ckd. While I may not know exactly how you feel, I understand your frustration and your need to be heard. I will listen any time! Hope you are doing better!! =]

[ladyblue3]

Big hugs to you! I hope you are feeling better today than the day you made this video. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Hey sweetgirl. You are not alone and this video is you and real. My mom has that fibermyalgia stuff kills her at times but she uses all natural stuff and at 71 she is very active. I have faith that God will help you and show you what you need to do. Your a beautiful girl and Hope is there you have to rely on God not the bad news from reports or people that think they know just know your beautiful and we will pray for your pain and your family as well as recovery for you

your video was forwarded to be from a friend Anne (asachs1034) and I agree with everyone on here, you are NOT alone. There is someone out here who goes through the same issues as you, but no one shares your pain like YOU.

Come here, talk, get comfort, vent, cry, whatever makes you feel better, this is the place to come. You will get support, encouragement and if need be a kick in the pants, but there is always someone here for you!!!

Honey, you are not alone. I am a chronic pain patient too. I have had 5 spine surgeries and they just diagnosed me with RSD. It looks like my road has just become tougher.

What I have learned thru my journey is:

*if a doc belittles you, leave them

*no one can understand your pain except you

*it is normal to feel guilty, alone, angry, sad, etc.

*It is normal to miss your old life

*my family lets me sleep when I can they know many a night I am up to the wee hrs due to pain.

I have found a book that has really helped me thru my journey. If you are interested I would like to share it with you and if you ever need to talk, you now have a fellow tuber who understands and is willing to walk and chat with you on this challenging walk.

I can't take your pain away - but I can virtually hug you. I want you to feel better.

You are NOT alone beautiful, thank you for opening up and sharing your pain with us.. if nothing else.. vlogging may just help with the emotional pain that comes along with the physical pain... a video diary! We are all here to support you and love you!! Your pain is real... fibro is real hard for many to understand, but I am here for you...

prayers coming your way....

[crosspecans]

could i sew you an stretchy (swimsuit fabric) tube...that you can wear..around your hernia...it would hold that tummy in some. i just need a measurement..huggs

[WindsOfChange2009]

Also, I just want to say that I think you are so very strong to be able to come on here and be so honest about how you are doing! And, I hope that you are getting enough vitamins, like D and omega 3. Take care of you!

[WindsOfChange2009]

I am so sorry to hear about all the pain you are going through, Alondra. It is all so very sad. Correct me if I am wrong, but are you not going to operate the hernia in january? Do you think that it will help release some of the pain you are having? If so, that gives hope of a better future, doesn`t it? Don`t let the doctors bring you down! Believe in yourself! ;)

I wish you a Merry X-mas, with many good days to give you the strenght you need!!

[Skyreader1]

...I pray for you every day. Like I said I know your pain. My tumor may have been removed but the damage has already been done to the nerves in my back,my bowels and my kidney and like you need pain meds to get through the day. You may have to find other doctors. After what we both have been through, I have very little regard for the medical profession as a whole.

Take care, if you would like to correspond, just leave a message here on my youtube profile and I'll get back with you. Sending love

Just because your doctor went to school doesn't mean she doesn't know what you are going through. Doctors early in their career would get really sick and really scared, they wouldn't so quick to judge. I know where you are coming from. For years I had been blown off by doctors; doctors that tried to make me think it was all in my head. Well what turned out to be in my head turned out to be and abdominal tumor the size of a basketball and wt of 50lbs which nearly killed me! I know your pain....

[FrogsRFriendsNotFood]
