"There's Nothing More We Can Do" - A Chaotic Return
Vložit
- čas přidán 3. 07. 2024
- Hey everybody! So it has been a while...
Life got a little chaotic and I haven't been able to sit down and make a video for a while. But I'm back baby!
I know that this isn't the best video I have ever made... I'm filming in my laundry room and getting used to whole new setup and computer not to mention a whole new body and mind. So please be kind and patient with me!
I know I touch on a lot of things in this video and you probably have a lot of followup questions. So definitely do let me know what direction you guys would like to see with my content, I will do my best to try to cover all the bases. I would also maybe like to experiment with lives if you like that idea. Would you prefer CZcams lives, instagram, or a little bit of both?
Anyway, I hope you guys like this video and I love you so much!

This is a wonderful day - i really thought you might have permanently moved on from youtube, or maybe the medical challenges had become too overwhelming to vlog about, and yet you always remained in my heart. And today you have returned!!!!!!!!
Videos of any length, any topic, any creative format would be SO PRECIOUS!!!!!!! Medical updates, clothing finds, crafts, day-in-the-life, favorite medical aids, poems, recommended products - you name it - will be considered gifts from our dear and wonderful christina. Oh, happy day!!!!!!!
Amen to that!!
Welcome back! I missed your videos.
I just SCREAMED when I got the notification that you uploaded! Been following you from the beginning and you inspired me to document my chronic illness journey on here! Girl we don’t care if the video is fancy, we’re here for you!
Love you girl! Im so glad you are putting your voice and story out there! 💕
Same!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Absolutely me too ❤❤❤😅
It’s been 4 yrs? Missed u much glad to have u back!
Yeah, I can't believe it has been 4 years either. That is totally insane to me.
We're sticking with you! Welcome back!!
There is nothing better than hearing your voice again! I am so glad you are back. Please don't stress about the quality.
YES!!! it's so great to see you. Amazing you're doing death doula work...before you said that, I was going to comment, I think you'd make a great therapist! I still think you would, there is something about your voice, your disposition and then the combination of trauma you've experienced plus emotional maturity you've developed...you are a gift to so many, even if it's just sharing your journey here. You bring much comfort. My goodness, I'm really sorry to hear all you've been going through. It sounds like hell. I'm glad you're still able to do your art, you're very talented. I'm so glad you have that 'fight' in you. Thank you for updating. Much love from NYC.
I’ve been watching your channel for years and I’ve always been amazed by how complex your health is. I’m thrilled to hear that you’re managing your cptsd and that your recent surgeries have been beneficial. That’s amazing. I hope things continue in a positive direction for you and your family. So glad to see you back again. Don’t put any pressure on yourself to film. You’ve got enough on your plate.
Girl yo do you, we watch you for "you". Glad you're back and adressing mental health in the chronic illness comunity... many times is so overlooked!
So glad you’re back!! Missed your videos ❤
nice to see you back! i've been coming back to your channel pretty much daily to see if you posted - i missed your videos! ♡
More than the video, it’s just great to see that you’re doing better these days! I’ve followed you for many years now, including on Instagram during your hiatus, and it’s always a joy and a relief to see you having the freedom to enjoy yourself. I still have a rainbow you made hanging on my wall - it’s been through several moves with me over the past four years but has always been proudly displayed. Although ableist society makes it unsafe to go out, know that there are those of us out here who still mask and still care. And we haven’t all lost interest in long form media, either! Congratulations on your return to CZcams! ❤❤❤
I love that you're doing so much healing and growth, I've thought about you frequently through the last few years. I have given up on quarentine life because people around me can't live like that, but I've had Covid 6 times in the 18 months since I've been out of quarrentine.
My vote is definitely for long form content!
Just to see you back is enough ❤❤
Welcome back! Im so glad youre back to posting. I find your voice and "story telling" style very soothing and love long videos. honestly this one was on the short side considering the time that has passed and all you have been through Dont limit yourself, tell your story, take your time. You have been through alot and i know alot of us would love to listen to your experiances in more detail and would gladly sit through long videos. Keep holding on and im so happy youre feeling better ❤
Wow amazing to see you back here in EDS awareness month, missed you glad your doing better I don't watch any other EDSers on here so it's great to see you especially since the only other chonic illness channel watched "Frey life" (I know your friends & started watching after you & another said about them) has stepped back for CZcams. 🌌💖🌌
Omg so crazy I literally thought about you out of the blue today. And here you are! Welcome back!
I will watch any long vloggy video. Even if you didn't edit down and it was 3hours of talk I'd watch it ❤
Its like catching up with an old friend ❤
I never leave any comments on any social media, but I'm just so happy to see you back! It's really like seeing an old friend. Your smile made my day! 🥰
Welcome back. I’ve been here a long time.
I am so glad to see you back. I discovered your channel accidentally about 6 months ago and was really worried to see you hadn't posted in so long.
I clicked your video SO fast! I saw someone on TT w/ finger splints and it made me miss your countenance, voice, and light. I'm glad you're back.
Missed hearing you and seeing your wonderful crafted items.
You have been missed!❤️
Missed you so much Christina, happy you’re back! 💛💛
So happy to see you back! ❤🎉
It's lovely to see you again, fellow zebra. I'm so sorry for all the complications but your unbreakable spirit shines through
Girl, with you all the way, all the cuts,edits long forms. It’s nice to see you and wonderful to see you smile!
Welcome back! Been following on Facebook and Instagram as I was able. Are you aware of the Walk for Victory returning to Boston this year? Maybe we as a community can figure out a way to bring back the Connective Tissue Conditions support meetings after the pandemic and Jon stepping back from organizing things. I have Loeys-Dietz Syndrome, had two heart surgeries, two eye surgeries, and a neck fusion. While I haven’t faced the same complications, I have also faced many doctors and my own family and friends questioning my health issues, for instance I have the opposite issue with CSF pressure but few doctors that are willing to accept the complicated nature of LDS- neurology saying that I couldn’t have a CSF leak spontaneously, pain management calling my refusal of spinal or neck injections ‘drug seeking’, and trying to get braces and other care items covered by insurance. Glad to see you back on CZcams and thanks for sharing so much!
Welcome back! You were very missed, I’m so glad to see your smiling face
So glad you are back. Great to see your smile! ❤️
so glad you’re back christina! would love if you started doing lives on youtube or just vlogs!
Thanks for the update, and I hope things will be less chaotic for you and that you'll feel better.
Don't worry about an upload schedule. People are subscribed and will get the notification whenever you're able to make a video. Just focus on your needs, but always know that you have a supportive community here! :)
I had a gallbladder experience with my EDS, where I the pain was so bad I thought I was having a heart attack. It turned out my gallbladder was close to rupturing.
Hooray! Lovely to have your long-form content back in time for EDS awareness month. The Dazzle clearly missed you! 🦓
So glad to see you back on CZcams. I’ve wondered many times how you are doing. You remain in my prayers. God bless!
So happy you are back, you have been missed!❤
You were such a beacon in the darkness when my daughter first was diagnosed 7 years ago. She is now thriving and will finish college soon. Your words of encouragement and knowledge helped so much. So glad you are back!
Welcome back!! So happy to see you back on my screen
So happy to see you back on yt!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Soooo happy to have you back!!!
God to see you back
You are the true definition of
A warrior
Also a cat with 9 lives
Bless you
I am so happy to see you. I always look at your bracelet and think of you. Love from Central New York
welcome back we missed you and glad youre fine and okies as you can be ❤
It's wonderful to see you in a video again, and how far you've come. Plenty of hard things, but also so much art and a new calling to support people who are dying. I'm glad you didn't give up.
So glad youre back! These past four years have been soooo crazy
I am so happy to see you are back on CZcams. Every now and then I would click on your channel to see if you had any new videos. Really glad to see you are doing great. Welcome back.
Welcome back! My daughter has EDS, POTs, etc, etc similar to you. I have been missing your video’s, as much of your journey we have taken a few steps behind you. The creators who share have been inspirational for us, so Thank you!
I feel like i just got to come home to my childhood home. I’m not crying, at all!!! We love you Christina!!!!! 💜
We love you Christina ❤!
So glad You're back wonderful to see You and that You're doing better
You have been missed! Glad that you're back!
Welcome back queen!
Welcome back!
Thank you for coming back! We missed you 🌈
I’m so happy to have an update, I feel like I am re-conecting with an old friend.
I’ve been watching your videos for years, I was a med student at the time and now I am a full fledged physician waiting to begin my masters degree.
You have no idea how much your videos motivated me to keep trying my best, be it at school or the hospitals, since then I’ve also been able to receive an AuDHD diagnosis.
Just wanted you to know how much your videos inspired me to study hard and always treat ppl with care and empathy.
Love you ❤
I am SO PROUD OF YOU! That is AMAZING news!!!! Congratulations! Sounds like you have been working so hard. I actually was diagnosed with ADHD actually and it makes a little of sense now that I look back. I was honestly totally blindsided until I finally understood. Thank God for my patient neuropsych. He was the greatest!
Glad you’re finally doing better.
It is truly beautiful to see your face, to hear your words, to know that things are improving for you
Wow, you're back on CZcams!
So glad you’re back. You are actually the reason I searched for a doctor who could diagnose EDS (you and Jaquie, may she rest in peace). It changed my life when I found your videos probably 7-8 years ago now?
I've been thinking about you and I'm so happy to watch this update!
it's so good to see you back, and i can't wait to see more of you again, how ever much or little you post! it's lovely to see you doing so well with your art and your new found working as a death doula, sending you so much love!!💖💖💖💖
a WHILE is an understatement lol
Because of this ANGEL, I am surviving now. I knew and prayed for you to come back. Thank you for the jump. I wish one day I could be your friend. I would love to send you a piece of art. Thank you so so much.
Im always lurking around for a chat! Mostly I’m chronically on my instagram 🤣
Christina, oh my goodness! It is so great to see you back on CZcams again. You have been missed so much. We've messaged back and forth on Facebook several times during your time away. You have, undoubtedly, been through so much over these last 4 years. But, you are constantly a huge source of strength for me in dealing with my own medical issues. I am preparing to undergo my first spinal laminectomy and fusion of my L4, L5 and S1 on Friday, May 31, 2024. To say I am a bit scared and anxious is an understatement. I have been in a considerable amount of progressively increasing pain in my lower back and hips over the last 3-5 years. So, this surgery seems like my only option now as I have exhausted so many others. You are continuously in my thoughts and prayers and I wish you the very best always. I am truly looking forward to seeing any new videos you post here in the near future. Love you lots, my friend!
Glad to have you back! And yes more long form content! There are plenty of us with a LOT of time to spare haha❤️
I'm so proud of you, so proud of every day you've fought to get through. Here for your journey always!
Welcome back!! 🌻❤
i feel like EDS is like a personalized mystery box that sends complications at whim. Like, “surprise! Happy Wednesday! You can’t swallow now” lol.
Lmaooooooo, I'm stealing that!!
💃🏻🎉Our girl is back! Christina, ive always felt a strong connection to you, and have always prayed for you... But for some reason, you were my first thought when i woke up yesterday evening, and you just kept popping into my heart while i was studying all night. I get on CZcams this morning, and there's our gorgeous Christina! That's just wild! Dude, im so stinkin' proud of you! You are such a fighter and inspiration! And you do a great job making videos, so cast off those insecurities, we are here for YOU! Sending you and your awesome fam big hugs, love, and prayers always 🤍🙏🕊
I am so so excited to see you back! I often think of you and wonder how youre doing. So thank you for coming back😊
I was so excited seeing your video! It’s so good to see you back!

I was missing your videos so much! I am really happy you are back ❤️
oh christina i'm so glad you're doing better! 🌻 i saw your name in my subscription bar just the other day and wondered how things were. im glad you feel like you're in a place now where you can come back. your videos were exactly what i needed when i was just starting my "what's going on with me" journey, welcome back 💜
So happy to see you and hear your voice!!!!!!
Your videos have been so helpful over the years; I still go back from time to time to re-watch. (Long live long-form content!) Welcome back, Christina--it's good to see you back and doing okay!
Follow-up, congratulations on your death doula journey! DD work/11th hour work is so rewarding. I miss doing it myself, and I love that you're doing it now!
You are an inspiration. Look forward to your next video. ❤️
I can't even say how excited I was to get this notification! So happy to see you here again and can't wait for whatever is in store. I am absolutely a long-form, CZcams girlie at heart and will always prefer this over Reels or Tik Tok.
Happy to see you and know your ok... you've had a difficult journey no doubt! You have definitely been missed.
Eee so happy to see this posted,been following you on IG! Getting cozy in bed with my dog to watch 😊
I'm so glad to see you here!
Its so good to see you again! I'm hoping you are feeling as well as you look. Just seeing you sitting up and moving and smiling ... it is truly heartwarming!
Welcome back! You have been greatly missed and I can't wait to see your next video when ever that will be. I can't believe that it has been 4 years since you last was on here but I will be waiting for the next video.
It’s so amazing to see one of your videos pop up in my recommendations! Welcome back to CZcams. You are as beautiful and genuine as always.
I’m so happy to see you back ❤❤❤❤❤
So good to see you Christina!!!
Your video's are perfect the way are, I like that they are longer than reels! And don't mind your editing, we are just beyond happy to see you again!! Thank you for posting again!! 🥰 You helped me immensely over the years!! Sorry to hear things have been so rough on you, sending you a lot of good wishes and strength!!
You have been through the unfathomable and yet you are here giving to not only us but others dealing with end-of-life issues. I am just agog. I hope and pray that new medical developments become available to more successfully treat and even cure the medical issues you combat daily.
Yayyyyy! I was so worried! So glad you’re back, gorgeous girl!
