I wish that doctors took us more seriously (especially chronic illness warriors) when we say we feel sick. From watching your videos I know your not one to complain unless your feeling like utter crud and even then your stoic. Hope the transfusion helps you feel back to your normal soon.
alysebell1 totally, as someone is chronically ill, we know how our body works and when something is wrong. I hope that this will help you get to feeling better Amy .
alysebell1 me too
upsets me to when doctors don’t listen to us as patient’s we know our bodies when we are sick.
Blood transfusion, iron infusion. Amy’s always right, Tom! LOL😂 Love how you guys still keep a sense of humor even when you are stuck in hospital.
yup transfustion because its TRANSFERRED from the blood donor to the recipient, infusion because its like made in a factory and not transplanted
I had to stop this 2mins 30secs in, 😢 this makes me so very sad, why couldn't these "doctors" help Amy before she got into this state?!? Seeing her wait for Tom and she looked barely able to speak! Oh my gosh, it makes me so angry smh
babybluex what I want to know is why she needed a blood transfusion, was/is she loosing or did her body just need more or what?
@@medicalinthusiest2180 I have no idea lol, I really don't understand certain medical things🤷♀️ sorry.
I am serious angry at the doctor's not helping near me when she was in her time of need the most
I have EDS, O+ blood, and surprisingly amazing veins. I try to donate whenever I can because maybe one day I’ll need it 🤷🏼♀️ It’s one of the ways I feel as though I can help others, although I know not everyone can do it, which is okay.
My grandpa just passed on 12/11 and was an avid O+ donator as well. I wanted to donate on Christmas as my “gift” in memory of him but unfortunately I have a sinus infection and on antibiotics currently. No donating for me but hopefully in the future!
Wishing you lots of spoons!
I hope you feel better for Christmas!! I hope you & your family have a good Christmas & a happy new year!!! I love your videos & want to let you know that you inspire me to not let my "illness" control my life!!!!!
I really hope you feel better very soon. It would be a shame for u to feel ill on the holiday. I've thoroughly enjoyed your vlogmas so far. I watch every day. My thoughts and prayers are with you xo..
I just got out of hospital today after being in for 5 days. i went to A&E because i was going dizzy, my resting heart rate was 120 and higher. My blood count was 62, and my iron was 2! I was so shocked!! Thank you to all of the blood donors who are reading this, you potentially saved my life.
So sad that you had to suffer for days because they didn’t trust how you felt. At least you are getting what you need now hun ❤️
I could see it in your eyes that you were feeling unwell .
Hope you feel better Amy! I always get a friend or family member to take off my ECG pads now (especially the big ones you get in resus) because it barely hurts at all that way 😊 xx
So glad you are getting the medical treatment you need now! I am just sitting here soaking up the Harry Potter decorations! That was amazing!! Wonder if people would think me crazy if I decorate my house using some of those ideas? I guess Harry Potter trivia nights would have to become a 'thing" for it to all make sense! Hope the transfusion makes you feel like yourself again!! Like you say, At least you will be out in time for Christmas at home!!
I’m so happy I have a good doctor. I don’t have anything like you, but I did just find out I have a (mild) condition that has been causing all of my pain and problems. I just wish I had somebody who cares like Tom does for you. When I was given my diagnosis and treatment options today, I called my SO to tell him, and his only response was “if you already made your decision of what treatment you’re getting, why did you bother telling me the whole story. You could have just said what you were doing” and then when he got home he didn’t even speak to me. I know it’s his defense mechanism, and he’ll come around in a few days, but it hurt.
I’m a blood donor and I’m going to give blood tonight
Hannah sarah well done! Thank you 😊❤️
I’m glad to give blood to save lives happy Christmas and a happy New Year
I know it's been 2 years but I wanted to thank you again for giving blood! You are an angel on earth 💜🖤
I am so sorry that you had go get a blood transfusion but, on the positive side it is good that you are getting the blood and iron you need to feel better. OMG I absolutely hate the heart monitor sticky pads, they hurt bad when you take then off. I ussually endbup with big red rings from them. Prayers that everything goes as planned and you feel better soon.
Hope you feel better loves. Keep your head up, even if it's rough.
So glad you got what you needed! It’s so messed up in my opinion that in order to get the treatment we need, we have to reach certain point of sick, like in order for me to finally get a PoTS diagnosis I had to go to the emergency room after a week of not being able to move without passing out or almost passing out. Anyway really hope this helps you Amy! You deserve to feel better
Love both you guys, so glad you're getting sorted out before the holiday. You're probably already feeling leagues better. I know your skin color returned in one of the clips!! no more pasty pasty Amy lol💖✨
Wishing you the best Amy ❤️
I’m glad you were finally able to get your transfusion and I hope you feel much better by Christmas so you can enjoy it. Also, how awesome is that Harry Potter themed ward?! Do they always decorate different parts of the hospital in themes? How neat!!!
I had them placed on early this year......... OMG! my chest still hurts when I think about having to take them off!!! I feel you girl!
That's a fast drop in cells/ iron. Keep tabs on that I hope it's not a slow bleed inside from one of your tubes.
praying for you sister!!!
Amy take care of yourself, eat the best possible and keep enjoying and laughing lots! :D
PS: I agree, not all doctors know exactly what is happening to us, and unfortunately not all of them listen to what we say about our body!
Hope you feel better soon!!
Tom's eye roll. 😂 I love you two!
Hope you feel better soon❤️
Prayers for you Amy🌷
Yes Amy you are right blood transfusion. I am a ICU nurse.
Dear, dear, little Angel 😇 I hope you are feeling better. Some doctors are a pain in the butt. If they needed the transfusion you better know that they would have it one second after they asked for it. Sending lots of positive thoughts and love your way ❤️💜❤️💜
So sorry I know how bad I felt. Prayers ♥️
I know when it comes to chronic illness, that if you present your knowledge too strongly to a doctor you've not established a history with it seems to intimidate them and in my experience they tend "drag their feet" getting treatment you ask for even if you're right. In one of the seminars for my illness we touched on this topic, and it helps if you have all of your doctors within the same network to keep an open line of communication. If I go to see a new doctor like a specialist I always have my primary care doctor send the specialist a message with all the technical crap he or she needs to know.
This vlog should be titled "I TOLD YOU SO!!" I knew something was up (or down in your bloods case) just as you did. Hope you're feeling better fast! Merry Christmas from Minnesota!
Coming from an RN--blood transfusion! I’ve had three myself and give many more!!!!
Prayers for u i hope u get better
I have Spina Bifida and before I aged out of Spina Bifida clinic at my “local” hospital one of the tests I had to do was a urodynamics study because I have a neurogenic bladder meaning I have to catheterize and they would put sensors like that all along my bottom and a few times the girl that hooked and unhooked me did all the unhooking first and then took off the sticky pads and she forgot one each time and because I basically have no feeling for sensing that I’m sitting on something like that I found it a day or so later when I went in that area for whatever reason.
I’ve donated blood 4 times!! It’s not fun but I know it helps people🙂I’m not able to at the moment bc I don’t meet weight requirements anymore but when I do, I hope to keep donating😁😁
Hang in there. Hope you feel better
I’m sorry it got to this point but I’m glad you will start to feel better
That Harry Potter theme is so awesome!
Hope My Favorite Girl Is Feeling Better. 🙂 Luv'Yuh !! 💖
Our Bloodbank criteria for blood transfusions at my hospital is a Hgb below 8, unless the patient is actively bleeding. Reason is a lot of things can go wrong in a transfusion (you can develop antibodies, get transfusion reactions, bloodborne infections the center hasn't tested for [eg. Malaria is pretty difficult to detect], etc). I hope you feel better Amy ❤❤
@Nicole Inkling "fit" is the perfect word, but the questionnaire is tedious and confusing. Many people think they know the answers, but then realize they're not accurate. In the years I've been working I think I've only had one or two cases of quarantine of products and they were of suspected malaria/"blood worms". Again, these are rare cases, but still occur.
Regardless, if the patient needs immediate blood to survive, transfusion reactions or any other risks become not as important.
Glad they finally get things sorted. Love ya Ams you amazing so is Tom. Its blood transfusion but it's ok Tom we still love ya. 💜 Love the Harry Potter Decorations that's awesome. Glad your back home now saw it on IG. How your doctors don't let your hemoglobin get this low again shame on them.
I'm so glad you were able to get iron and blood! Why didn't they use your line for blood draws and the transfusion? They use mine for everything. That's awful they had to poke you so much. You should feel better really soon! I always feel great afterwards. Are they checking your b12 and vitamin d levels? Both of those can make you feel more fatigued. Have a good night!
i'm back in the uk i started blood donations 3 years ago mine is quite sort after as classed as neo blood it can be given to children
Can you have a Portacath put in? As a regular infuser with rubbish veins I've had one put in and they're great.
P.S. That's a lovely side room. I normally get put in a windowless cell.
Tom Alexander she has a central line already.
Just curious how come they brought you to resus?? Where I am they only use resus for super sick/super injured....do they know why your hemoglobin went from 110 to 72? That is a big change in only a week.....are they worried you are bleeding somewhere?? Sorry- so many questions!! Feel better!
i remember going to hospital and needing those sticky pad things... honestly taking them off hurt more than anything else they did to me
That ward is awesome!!!
Hope you feel better 🙏🙏🙏
Oh no I hope you get better soon😢
When I get blood transfusions it stings a bit
72 is definitely low enough for blood! They normally transfuse under about 90!
We really like him .
Sorry I am sick myself today
Ended up in the hospital for two weeks with around that number. But.. I have heart and lung issues that went majorly haywire because of being so low.
We don’t normally transfuse until it’s below 80.... my last transfusion only brought me up to 85 and they were quite happy with that!
I always get transfused at 90....
feel better soon! I got a what makes u go hmmm question! here goes, what if a squirrel was allergic to nuts? LOL!
Omg ecg stickers suck. I hope you start feeling better ☺️
I deal with this issue all the time also I have to call my doctors and ask them to do lab work every couple months and then of course my ferritin and hemoglobin are so low I have to have a blood transfusion or an iron transfusion it’s ridiculous you would think they would keep up with this stuff especially since I go to the Oncology Center
Blood cancer patient here,it is definitely BLOOD TRANSFUSION!
Weeeee girl. Feel better.
I had to have it too 3 months ago😢feel better soon!
What is resus?
First. Hope you feel better love
You knew something wasn't right for about a week now. Hope they can get you healthy. This thing is really hanging on
What hospital is that? I live in Perth and am studying nursing, I need to work at that hospital if they have Harry Potter decorations!!
Blood transfused from one person to another, with a stop in between where it rests in a bag.
Iron infuses from bag to person. No 'trans' ( from one thing to the next) involved.
Be well sweetie xxxxx
Hello I just found you today! I have EDS as well and last summer I had to get a blood transfusion after my stomach lining ripped because of a bleeding ulcer from my meds. I live in Ohio but was camping in Maine (they’re like at least 18hrs apart driving like I do)with my new college and it was literally my first week there, and since we were so deep in the woods we had to drive over an hour on backroads to get to the hospital. Basically we were just eating dinner and I felt mostly fine until I just started vomiting straight blood and getting really lightheaded. And since I have NCS as well I thought it might just be that but they drove me to the hospital anyways and evidently I could have died so I was super grateful. There were more uncomfy aspects and several days in the ICU as well but that’s the just of my last experience with a transfusion. Not 100% sure why I’m posting this but it’s really nice hearing from a fellow zebra, so keep doing what you’re doing please! P.s. those stickies are the WORST
I hope u get better
100% Transfusion not infusion...coming from an ex nhs worker 💃🏼😂😂😂 bless you Tom 😂 oh the anti clotting stuff is just an anticoagulant
sending love ❤️
It’s Blood transfusions and iron infusions.
I'm sorry you are having to deal with this sweetie,. To ALL the asses on your Instagram that were saying it wasn't necessary for a transfusion Drs. In Australia DID go to medical school so if something isn't needed , it probably wouldn't happen. I do wish people wouldn't be do judgemental online without having all the information. It's just not kind.
BIG HUGE HUGS TO YOU ❤️ SWEETIE. SENDING A. MAMA BEAR HUG. hope that this helps you feel better.
My daughter received blood products that saved her life when she was one year old. She was hospitalized a week. They called from Drs office even before we had gotten back home from appointment. Told us an ambulance would be transporting us because if we had gotten into wreck and she lost even a little bit of blood she could go into organ failure. So AMEN TO THANKING ALL THOSE WHO DONATE !!!!!!
Totally transfusion, had a ton
So glad you were given those 2 units of blood. Shame on your practitioner for not taking your concerns more seriously. Seeing that ward decorated in Harry Potter was definitely a highlight. I am a proud blood donor here in the U.S.A. I donate every three months.
Just donated today :)
Sorry to hear and it christmas next week
Early I was teasing tom😁
Amy you’re right👍❤️
I hope that your doing better now my friend,this was tough to watch
Did they find out why your hemoglobin was so low? Like are you bleeding internally somewhere? That is scary! When my blood counts get low my drs freak...... I feel so behind on your vlogs!😔 I am one week out from surgery #5 for my endometriosis, I had an appendectomy as well and my bowels fixed too. Recovery is not fun. Then one week before that my sis gave birth to her twins at 33 weeks via emerg c section. We have been very very busy. I am trying to slowly get caught up on vlogs in between naps and feeds. Babies are home now too so I am taking care of my sis and babies while I’m supposed to be recovering. Chronic illness can’t keep us down! Miss you Amy and Tom of course too....!
We must have a different Hb scale here. Anything below 8.0 they usually transfuse. Maybe yours was 7.2???
Christine Cockburn yeah mine was 72 but converts to 7.2 depending on where you live xx
Its a blood TRANSFUSION.
Doctor's!! Bleh. I remember when my iron deficiency anemia was bad. I would know when I was going low, doctors would never listen until I ended up in the er with a 6.0 hemoglobin and unable to breath without oxygen because I was too low. I always felt the same as you, if they would of just listened..... I think I've had blood transfusions 4 times now.
I work in the lab in a hospital. It is an transfusion!
I definitely didn’t realize how poorly I felt until I received two units of blood and the change was almost immediate
When it’s around 4:30AM in the states, but the notification woke you up, and you HAVE TO check on sweet Amy. I’m praying for you darling, keep your head up. You are the most positive person I know of. I know you will pull through, as usual. ♥️✨
Def a blood transfusion and iron infusion
I got an ad for a device to check your hemoglobin in the middle of this vlog lol
Last time I went in my hemoglobin was 3.7. I felt horrible and was passing out. I got iv blood and iron and felt like a new person afterwards
Yes it really was that low I have the test info so I didn’t misunderstand. It was extremely low
Yup.. blood transfusion, iron infusion..I’m an expert on them unfortunately, lol
Yes deffo blood transfusion. Iron infusion.
The little circles that stick on you hurt so bad
Tom is great, how does he handle your chronic illness as a partner? It can put a strain on relationships, coming from someone with chronic illness.
💜
I so wish I could be treated at that hospital if I was sick I love Harry Potter 🥰
Those stickers are the worst! Sometime Dr. just don’t understand...we know when we are not feeling right. They should have given you the infusion last week!! Feel better soon Amy!
Blood transfusion and iron infusion 👍🏻
I donate blood! Still not enough of us x hope you feel better x
Blood transfusion and iron infusion
My mums been a blood donor for years and she’s gave 60 pints of blood so far ❤️ I would become a blood donor but I have tattoos and they won’t accept me for some reason 🤷🏻♀️x
They should accept you if your tattoos are over a year old ( I think)
It's because they can't guarantee how sterile the needle used to tattoo you was so they worry about infection etc. Usually after a certain amount of time passes, you're allowed again but obviously depends on the country 😊
Amy’s right again tom sorry dude 😂 a transfusion is when the same substance, just from an outside source, is administered into the bloodstream. (Blood)... A infusion is when an outside substance is administered directly into the bloodstream, in Amys case iron.
Ooohh hun! We know our bodies so well, and it's soooooo frustrating when our team of "specialists" refuse to listen to us. My new GI for example..I thought at first it was a good fit because he ordered a gastric emptying study and HIDA scan. Then I read the referral note the ignorant ass wrote. Apparently, "Erler Danlos Syndrome has no real GI manifestations..." can't wait to get my hands on the radiology reports from this week! I plan to "educate" the so called "specialist" quite nicely.
