  • You say you watched every Columbo. Do you remember the one in which Richard Kiley played the murderous police commissioner? That's my favorite, as Columbo employs the help of a lowlife burglar (played by the recently deceased Val Avery) to catch the murderer (who is also Columbo's boss!) Priceless stuff.

    Happy Thanksgiving, Ysabellabrave.

  • Hi MaryAnne!  Praying your long bout with flu is over, and that you are getting better in every other way. Please have a blessed Palm Sunday! <3

  • im sorry, red feather? with all respect, where does this come out of the bible? or you said its a belief of your people? I just want to understand this - Ive also been out of the loop, so for what it is, i will be praying for healing. take care

  • hahaha you HAVE to admit that Golden Girls marathons are amazing!!!

  • You know it!

  • Sunday after church, a Mom asked her very young daughter what the lesson was about. The daughter answered, "Don't be scared, you'll get your quilt." Needless to say, the Mom was perplexed. Later in the day, the

     Pastor stopped by for tea and the Mom asked him what that morning's Sunday school lesson was about. He said "Be not afraid, thy comforter is coming."

  • MaryAnne, you have your quilt to keep you warm and your Comforter to keep you in His arms forever. May He continue to Heal you, and stay with you. <3

  • Wishing you a wonderful Mother's Day weekend with your loved ones, MaryAnne!

  • You can say that again!

  • I miss you :( ..If there is anything I can do to help...just message

  • I miss y'all too. SO much.

  • Ive missed you so much! glad to hear you are getting better!

  • God, please be with our dear friend Maryanne Ysabella, and help her to get well. We love her very much. Thank you. Amen.

  • Hi Maryanne ~ Just checking in to make sure you are ok. All my love, ilene <3

  • I have just lit a candle for you and I really hope you'll feel a little better today than yesterday.

  • Comment removed

  • i dont know what happened but i hope you get better

  • ysabella, I remember two years ago when i first saw you. It was your birthday and you were wearing your tiara and I was struck at how beautiful you are. The light in your soul projects outward. You have to stay alive, bella. You just have to.

  • Miss your beautiful voice Maryanne!!!! Its like a needle in a haystack

    Hope you get better soon

  • Having followed you for the past few years, this is just such sad news. I turned a lot of people on to you when I first heard Let's Misbehave, and they were all blown away with your talent. As for your illness I can relate to a great degree. I have UC and it destroyed my life completely. Going out is almost impossible so I went from playing in a rock n roll band and having a good job and life, to living in a garage. But I hope and send all the best to you for recovery & lessening of your pain.

  • I was told that Exercise is key to this , a PT told me that , any kind is good. you have my prayers Maryanne.

  • Hello dear girl, I'm so sorry to hear that things have gotten so much worse. Hold firmly to your faith and let the love of your family (those of the blood and of the heart) help nourish your spirit while your illness tests you. Your family loves you, please let us know of there is anything we can do *after* we have sent our prayers for your recovery. May God bless and keep you in his loving care and give you strength. Take good care.

  • I'm afraid things have gotten far worse. Please keep up the prayer. +YB

  • Ever and always, MaryAnne!

  • I am very sorry to hear that you are getting worse. I will continue to pray for you.

    Much love to you.

  • Im so very sorry to hear that things are worse. I continue to pray.- you are such a beautiful person- in many ways- and a dear friend. please continue to fight, get better, and never give up. you have so much yet to do and to contribute. I dont want you to ever leave us. please be well. FIGHT. - you are loved tremendously, Ysabella- remember this.

  • my sister mary has fibromyalgia also. i remember she told me she was on cymbalta also and had bad reaction to it. i know a great deal about chemical imbalances. and also how releive pain drug free. and that a great deal with a chemical imbalance is adjustment period. but there is newer drugs that have little no side affects, like pristiq. there is older drugs like fluxotine from the 80,s that did well for a great deal of time. but my sister does well and she manages a division. she gets tired

  • we love you so!!

  • You have colour in your cheeks!!

    Get better hon...we all miss you very very much!!!

  • Bonanza is good to watch. But then I'm a guy but in the end the good guy always wins I like that.

  • I cant wait till the cone around the neck comes into style. Thats hip.

  • I hope you're feeling better and pray for you're health to be MUCH better!

  • Hey Babe! Hope you are feeling better. I continue to pray for you to be well. Ive been busy and tired after work but things are good with me. I hope things are better for you too. Keep us all posted! Hugs!

  • We miss you too much, please appear again even if just to say hello...

  • Spending a lot of time in the hospital, too sick to make a video. My apologies.

  • Apologies absolutely and utterly accepted with love and hugs.

  • Sorry to hear your recovery isn't steadily progressing. Hope you keep up your spirits as best you can. We're all praying for you and sending our strongest best wishes for your recovery. Love, Ann

  • What! Columbo is awesome! I just finished Maude and now I'm onto The Jeffersons.

  • glad to have you back, maryanne. we missed your sweet face here on YT! i'm sorry to hear you're in so much pain...i hope that you get better soon and you have many YT fans who will be praying for you and thinking of you! <3 me included

  • Where did god come from all of the sudden??

  • bramvano,

    God is like that - He comes around when you're not expecting Him. :)

  • well Miss Maryanne you sound better and look like you have more energy than your last update. I think of you every time I have to drive down to the SJCC past your old building (Yahoo)and have prayers for you recovery soon :)

  • "Like a phoenix, rise from the ashes, Like a falcon spread your wings and soar into the sky, Knowing no bounds with oodles of energy found, Excitement making your heart pound, Respond aptly to your inner sound, You have to break free of the unventured ground. This spirit was always present in you, Opportunity the only thing needed by you, Enthusiasm and ecstasy all to the fore, This... holds aplenty in store, Revel in the theme ,steal the show, Come... '09 and you would be asking for more...."
  • The other night I dreamed you were singing a duet with Christopher Walken - an old Harry Belafonte tune. I will take this as a sign that not only will you be "walken", but that you are going to be ready to "jump in the line" before too long!

    P.S. - you both sounded fabulous! <3

  • You should have "Alive and Kickin" as your background music. 

    Take Care!

  • I love that song!

  • Maryanne, glad to see you again. My prayers and best wishes for better heath to you.

    Love

    Henry

  • I pray for you like every time I go on youtube, feel better :)

  • ~~~

  • Dear MAryAnne,

    Glad to see you feeling more hopeful and chipper. May you feel better every day. Glad Mun Ha checked out OK. Keep on keeping on! Love, Ann

  • Thank you, Maryanne. You video is so encouraging.

  • Blessings and new health to you and may then come soon!

    Dean

  • Wishing you many more happy Easters as well, God bless you.

  • I suffer, too, from F/M. I cannot take Lyrica, so I am currently taking Cymbalta. Cannot tell if it is working yet, but I just wanted you to know you are not alone. This is a terrible thing, and I pray for an end.

  • I would caution anyone against using cymbalta, it literally almost cost me my life.

  • Thanks ysa for that heads up. My Dr. tried Lyrica with me and it literaly messed up my equalibrium and gave me crazy thoughts it was a nightmare.

    I'm better now.

  • Could you please tell me what happened? I read the risks, but so far have not felt anything...good or bad. I feel like giving up sometimes.

  • I took Cymbalta and became covered in bleeding wounds, got violent stomach flu-like symptoms and ended up in the ER. It took 3 weeks to recover, still am, in fact. After I started taking it, a new side effect was added to the official list for the drug: death.

  • Apparently your physical constitution is better than you let on, I doubt many people would have survived, from what you describe. You definitely have strength somewhere deep down in side, I can see that, though I'm not sure if it's based more in the realm of what is physical, of what is mental, or spiritual. No doubt, if any or all apply here, they all have their place in whatever allowed you to make it through. I hope that there are no long term side effects, and that you are over the worst. :)

  • cymbalta should not prescribed without a full blood workup. it should also require a full week of physiatrist evaluation. before it is subscribed. it is only used for certain types of depression. like extreame greif. but it would leave you shakeing like you drank to much coffee. but some is caused by muscle weakness, or no exercise.

  • Look up the withdrawal effects of Cymbalta. that drug should be banned. It should absolutely lose it's approval for FMS.

  • The Psych Drug Truth website lists 85 awful side effects from Cymbalta withdrawal. So sorry you were a victim of this MaryAnne.,m and so relieved you are off it now. Ann

  • poor thing? you should sue them.

  • Wow, the side effects and the withdrawal effects are truly horrifying. Why are drug companies being allowed to sell these dangerous chemicals?

    There is no cure for Fibromyalgia. They don't even know what causes it. All they can do is try to mitigate the symptoms without causing more, or worse, symptoms with the treatments.

    Big Pharma pushes their expensive drugs over other remedies with only one thought in mind: "How can we extract the maximum amount of money from the public?"

  • From ScienceDaily (Jan. 7, 2008) — "A new study by two York University researchers estimates the U.S. pharmaceutical industry spends almost twice as much on promotion as it does on research and development, contrary to the industrys claim."

  • i did look this up! and it could come under seizure or tremor, for what happened to you? most of this sickness is in the mind. so you will think you have another sickness? but the testing comes up false negitive. the only drug that might help is pristiq at this time. it does not have as many side effects. some people think that it has little to no effect compared to prozac. but you just want the mind in a clear thinking working state. and you want the body on a normal routine.

  • OMG ouch- thats some 'side effect'! You're so fortunate and blessed to be alive, Honey. Thank God, literally- that you are better.

  • what happened to your videos? theyre not on youtube. it stinks.

  • Happy Easter, MaryAnne! Spent some time with a friend I havent seen in a couple of years, so I had a nice Easter surprise. Hope youre well - later! hugs!

  • Happy Easter and what a lovely quilt!

  • Happy easter!! I am thinking about you. GOD BLESS YOU

  • Happy Easter!

  • Happy easter! :D I love you! less then 3! (<3)

  • Hi MaryAnne, It's wonderful to see you (and the cameo apprearence from Mun-Ha). Glad that you're feeling better. Know that you're wished a joyous Easter holiday and continued good health always! xo

  • Have a happy Easter =D

  • Happy Easter and love and prayers for your healing.

  • Happy Easter back to you.

  • Happy Easter and God bless you.

  • Hi Maryanne, Ive watched your videos ever since you sang "why dont you do right" I watched you since, Hang on there girl! things will get better :)

  • Happy Easter, He's alive!!!

    Good to see you and your cat healing and feeling better.

  • Sending you love. I'm glad you have your faith and your cats. It's a good combo. There is definitely magic in the universe, and I hope more of it goes to you, you deserve it.

  • MaryAnne,

    I just wanted to send you some love and let you know that you're in my thoughts. My Crohn's has been acting up, too, and I've had to spend quite a bit of time out of commission. Seeing your enthusiasm and optimism in spite of your hardship is inspirational to me.

    Wishing healthier times ahead for us both!

    Sebastian

  • thank you so much honey

  • God bless you! I hope you feel better soon. Glad that you've had some positive signs :-). Your courage is inspirational :-).

  • You are an amazing person ! :-)

    Have a wonderful easter, have some of that "returning back to life" magic going your way.

  • Hello Ysabella. I loved the feather story. Who are "your" people because I would love more stories like that. Thank you that through your pain you bring so much inspiration to every one. Take good care of yourself.

  • hi

    :)

  • Still praying for you daily, you are such a beautiful person.

  • you are gonna have victory maryanne :D

  • Some years I share my birthday on Easter, but not this year.

  • Hello Dear Girl, thank you for thinking of us as you struggle with your illness. Take care and get well. Our hearts and our prayers will be with you as always. Chronic pain is wearing but your faith will give you strength and perhaps our love of you will lift your spirits when you are low. I do hope so. Take good care.

  • Happy Easter Maryanne . Its great to see you are feeling at least a bit better . Years ago I worked with a women with Fibro and she cured it in two weeks by eating nothing but Cabbage Soup.This was before we were mindful of the Ozone Layer . Keep Rockin and Rollin and Keep The Rock Rollin !

  • If I lived anywhere close to you, I'd come over and watch Golden Girls with you.

  • Woohoo a Quilter!

    I have worked in the quilting game for years~!

  • You get more beautiful by the day, Sis'.

    I hope and pray you would have a most blessed and wonderful Resurrection Day.

    Love in Christ,

    Sam

  • Happy Easter to you too Miss Brave.  Health & healing!!!

  • You are just... like, i don't know how to describe you in words. That sounded really stalker-ish obsessive-ee, but i promise im not lol. You just amaze me with your constant gratefulness, despite everything you have and are going through. You are truely an inspiration to so many christians and people in general. Thank you for what you do.

  • My father is on Lyrica and he says that helps a lot. I hope you're able to get the pain under control soon.

  • holy **** it's Ysabella! Wow

    You know what? For someone fighting such a horrible thing you look good. I wish I looked that good! :)

  • Thank you So much for all of the Love and Now I send all my love to you!

  • Miss Maryanne,

    I am glad that you are doing better. I hope that you do get better, even if it's just one day at a time. Hope you have a happy and joyful Easter. Please take care of yourself and thanks for all your videos.

  • Happy Easter Maryanne

  • So, if God is blowing you kisses left and right, then how come you have fibromyalgia? Why does the omnipotent God make you suffer?...Logic is not something optional, you know.

    Anyway, have a nice Easter, and hope you will feel much better soon.

  • You are such a tremendous blessing to the world. I especially like your dedication to doing your best even though you are not feeling well. God bless you.

  • Hi, Ysabella. Thank you so much for making this video. The last couple of weeks has been hard for me and my Fibromyalgia. Been stuck in bed in pain. Your videos always manage to bring a smile to my face when all I want to do is cry. Thank you so much for keeping yourself in such good spirits. You are an inspiration to me.

  • Stuck in bed, too. We just gotta keep going, what choice do we have, you know?

  • Hey, girl---Hope you got my message with the enclosed prayers from a week or so ago! You and your quilt look beautiful! Glad to hear you're feeling a little better! And I thought MY fibromyalgia was bad!!  Holy cow, Maryanne...you've got it BAD!! But the Good Lord IS blessing you, and that's very good to hear. You take care now, ya hear?!

    Christine

  • Happy Easter Mary-anne. I hope you get well soon. I have always enjoyed your singing on youtube. Greetings from Holland.

    By the way, I am catching up on the tv-serie 30Rock myself. You should try it, it is really funny.

  • I hear that a raw diet helps with fibromyalgia

  • I don,t believe in God Maryanne, but i believe in your faith in God.

    Happy Easter! :)

  • Yay, Murder She Wrote.

    I've always loved that show! :o)

  • Another great video in the books! Neat lady!

  • You are amazing

  • Hope you continue to get better.

  • Ysabella! Always great to see you lady. I went without the internet for awhile (had to move) and didn't realize how much I missed you til I came across this latest post. The last I saw you, you weren't feeling too well. It appears that is no longer the case? Lord, I hope so. I didn't think angels got sick. I wish you well sweet. God bless.

  • Good days are ones I can walk, not too many of those though.

  • Aw lady...my heart goes out to you. I know God has his plan and gives us only what we can bear but I gotta tell ya, sometimes it still boggles my mind why someone of your talent, caliber, and overall essence is "chosen" to carry such a burden. I dunno. I just hope and pray you get well soon and are able to find some relief until then.

  • <3 you nice news:D happy easter<3

  • For those of us who have known you (on the internet) since the beginning. I think I speak for everyone, when I say that we do miss you a lot. So take the time and get better......,but hurry back. May God bless you and expadite your recovery. Amen.

  • i miss you!!! i loved your version of cabaret i used to listen to it alot

  • Happy Early Easter if we dont see you! Nice to see a new video and the progress on the quilt. Youre Lookin Good and you seem stronger and rested. All smiles!good to see MunHa- I was worried. Neat finding the signs in the feather, the blanket and the flowers. Dont be a couch potato! yep those Superman Movies were great! I ramble- its good to hear the update so ramble on. I continue to pray that you will be better. Take Care, MaryAnne! Hugs n Kisses a plenty!

  • You are living proof ... of God's Great Healing! ... for all of us! Keep the Faith! We all Love You! Blessings!

  • As Christ is risen, we too must all arise from whatever has caused us to be less than we can be and should be. True faith and belief are shown in actions. We must bring the word of life to everyone, everywhere.

  • Thank you Ysabella for all that you do for so many; it is far more than you can possibly know. You are very much loved and appreciated.

  • How can you not have seen the Superman films before? lol, i watched them hundreds of times when i was a kid. Good to see you are looking better.

  • Happy Easter MaryAnne! I really hope that you feel better every day with less pain.  My thoughts and wellwishes are for you. (And an imaginairy huge bundle of red tullips!)

    Hugs from The Netherlands

  • Thanks for taking the trouble to make this video and keeping us informed.

    Be well.

  • The life is coming back to you, dear, and I'm so happy for you. Praise God for little miracles. Here's to you getting even more better and for more red feathers.

    Dios te bendiga,

    Josh

  • Good to hear and see you looking quite a bit better MaryAnne, I still love listening to your songs and especially your recording of ''Don't Worry 'Bout Me.. .for me your best ever.

    Keep your good faith, stay well x.

  • The quilt looks really beautiful and I'm so happy to hear you're doing better :-) The red feather is an awesome omen of strength and courage which I know is something you have. So, you truly are going on the right path. For that, I feel comforted knowing you're going to be well. Have a Happy and joyous Easter. You deserve it :-)

    Jen

  • Wow i didn't know it was that bad that you couldn't walk. .

    I pray that you recover really quickly maryanne, you do look alot happier and it's amazing how animals can cheer you up, but for me it's dogs, i LOVE big dogs especially cause you can hug'em... :-)

  • such a cute kitty!

    im going to pray for you tonight, i want you to get better and keep finding more feathers! god is on your side and so are we! we all love you our singing angel!

  • Good to see you! Have a great Easter and a wonderful week!!

  • I've called you Job several times in my correspondance through You Tube, YS.

    I think he's the most important object lesson to be learned from in the bible. I know times are hard, but you never waiver in your determination and acceptance of your situation. You never faulter in your faith. (not that you've not wrestled with God about the issues you're having)

    You truly are an inspiration to those who are in like situations.

    Ysabella-Job.

  • Have a blessed Easter also and we will continue to pray for your 100% recovery.

    You look marvelous darling.

  • I am so glad to hear and see that you are feeling better. Are you aware that you give hope and joy to us? Well I hope so, because you always make my day and because of you I have faith on tomorrow (: You're an angel! Thank you million times!!

  • Glad to see you look more cheerful. :) Happy easter!

  • you inspire me

  • aw Ysabella i'm really happy to hear you are doing better then you were. Continue triumphing! You're such a great person : ) I mean, there is alot of good people but you are just a great person and I really hope the bests for you.

  • The old soldier who'd seen war before said, 'If it hurts . . . it means yer still alive.'

  • last time i thought u was gunna die. now you look full of life. wow what a change. and lol i cant believe you've only just seen superman 1&2 and you're about 30. you little chiwawa

  • Your courage and strength inspires me to keep at it, as I am sure it does many others. You are in my payers.

    PS. The feather story made me think of one of my favouritte verses: Psalme 91:4. (the only English bible I have is new king james, so sorry about the "thee" and "thou"'s.) "He shall cover you with His feathers. And under his wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler." The rest of Psalme 91 is awesome as well, but I especially like that verse.

    Happy easter

  • stuckintherut - I love that verse too! And MaryAnne, I hope God brings you more little victories everyday!

    /\\\\\\_

    \//////

  • Happy Easter! Glad to see you're better, i prayed that you would recover but i guess you just naturally healed. yum this easter egg tastes delicious.

  • I am sure I can say from your youtube family as a whole, Get well soon and have a great Easter.

    However a word of warning, no easter eggs, please send them all to me. LOL BP xxx

  • MaryAnne,

    Whether we know you personally or not, we are all praying for you. Inspired by Palm Sunday and the coming Holy days, I hope that you find solace on my favorite day of the week, Maundy Thursday. Think and remember that Jesus got down on his knees before the ones He loves and shows each and everyone of us individually that he is full of mercy and grace and love and ready to share with you. Read over it (John 13-14) and remember that you are so loved. Peace and blessings.

  • feel better absaroka girl

  • Beautiful. Your voice, how you speak and what you speak of are just beautiful. I hope you continue to feel at least a little bit better.
