@@miranduri 😥When someone dies I can't understand, how it can happen....There was a human some time ago, and now.. Where is he?..
as a nurse I can only say thank you so much for normalizing(?) something that can be so traumatizing for a patient, you are a lovely human, and girl and teacher, again, thank you
I'm a nurse and Admire how well you do this. In my training we had to do this to each other to experience how are patients felt. Your video was great. Keep up the great video. God bless you.
That's awesome to know you went through it so you truly understand what it's like. I've had a total colectomy (amongst other surgeries) and need a ng tube when I have bad blockages. They are really uncomfortable and irritate your throat if they're in for ages. Sometimes I'm attached to a machine that pumps my stomach out, and once they tried to put contrast through the ng tube ready for my CT scan. That's the worst because my stomach's already full so it makes me vomit, which is terrible with a tube in and I feel like I can't breathe! Oh the joys! I'm in awe of how well Amy handles everything and I think it's great that nurses are taught empathy and compassion by experiencing some of what their patients will feel. 🌸🎈
hey... I also have had an n.g due to a blockage form my ileostomy...not fun at all I'm amazed at her composure and in awe of her confidence I'm nearly 40 and dont have half of what she has!! super proud of her and sending her even more girl power.... u r awesome girl. x
@@cigisvirag_ I’ve had an NG tube before, and it didn’t make it hard to breathe through my nose, but I only had one tube in at a time. It can be irritating to breathe through your nose when you have an NG tube in because of how uncomfortable the tube is, but you get used to it. I can’t speak for anyone else, but in my experience it’s not much harder to breathe through the nose with an NG tube in.
this was the first video of amy's i found after i found out i was going to be tubed. this was what introduced me to the chronic illness community- i had no idea there was a community of people like me and it was truly lifechanging. my heart aches.
Wow.. this is my first time ever finding this video.. God bless you ❤️
I stumbled on this video by accident. Knowing nothing about any medical reasons behind it. Literally don't know what to say. Self managing any medical conditions, I am so impressed and inspired. Best wishes xo

Serious respect that you manage to self insert! I had one permanently for 6 months a few years back and I struggled every time the nurses inserted it!
Pre-Med Maddie I’ve had it done several times too. Having it in, even days later, swallowing your own saliva, feeling that thing at the back of your throat, made me gag all the time.
i can’t stand when they put it in. i cry every time. hasn’t got any easier no matter how many times.
Pre-Med Maddie iii acc love this u tuber
Agreed. I've had an assortment of tubes and much preferred the PICC to NJ and NG tubes because inserting down the throat just... eek... I still gag and cringe just thinking about it.
Pre-Med Maddie literally my mom was the same way when she had hers in and I guess she tried to pull it out s couple times
You are so brave to place an NG tube in yourself! NG tunes are the worst and you did it so easily. Props to you

Age-restricted. That's just shameful. This is an interesting an educational video about a person who has learned to cope with a crappy disease and CZcams has decided it doesn't fit their guidelines.
Andrew Beard that really confused me too.
It could be the stomach content but I was confused to
The stomach contents could be considered too much. But I have Gastroparesis, it's pretty life altering- I had no idea I could do this myself!! 💖 Drs. Lol. They'll admit me, pump me full of fluids and not be able to come close to stopping me from being sick. Send me home and a week later I'm back at square one. Thank you for being so AWESOME about bringing light to gastroparesis - people can be really ugly at times, say mean things, especially to females. Thanks again!! Xoxo.
They censor a lot of medical procedures. You just have to censor your titles so the software doesn't flag it.
Dieann63 yh she did well
Awe her tears are so precious she’s so strong
this was my first video 3 years ago I ever watched of Amy’s and I can’t believe she has now passed. Sending love and prayers to her family!!!!!!!
Hey guys! Firstly thank you for 1 Million views 😱 and secondly I just wanted to explain why I have the tubes in the first place and what they are for since everyone seems to be asking the same questions, guess I didn’t explain very well sorry 😅 So I have something called Gastroparesis which means my stomach is paralysed and doesn’t digest food properly so I use the first tube the NJ (Naso-jejunum Tube) to feed me my nutrition and that goes into the intestines and bypasses the stomach. That tube stays there and does not get removed. The second tube, that you see me place in the video is an NG (Nasogastric Tube) which goes into the stomach and I do this to drain my stomach contents (bile etc.) to stop me from being sick all the time. I struggle to digest my own bile which is why I use the tube plus I can drain any liquid that I drink, so I can drink thinks I want then drain so I don’t have to be sick. Hope that made sense if you have any other questions please feel free to ask 😊
Amy Lee Fisher can you still eat food?
Christa Machelle nope x
Amy Lee Fisher oh wow. You are very beautiful and you have such an amazing personality. I love how you don't let your illness stop you from doing what you want. Good luck you will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
Amy Lee Fisher new to your channel and enjoyed the vid, subscribed
does it matter which nostril u put ur NG tube in? cause if ur nostril piercing is well healed, u could put it on that side and disguise it as a nose chain
Not sure why this came up in my news feed but this was an interesting watch.

You are so brave ❤ i just came across your channel randomly and oddly enough I have been struggling with my GP diagnosis. Hardly any1 knows what it is here, even alot of drs dont know much about it and so i have to go see specialists out of state to the Mayo clinic in Minnesota. (I live in rapid city, SD) They didnt know what was wrong for the longest here, why im alwys in so much pain or why I cldnt eat without getn rlly sick, was getting so skinny and malnourished which was beyond frustratingly horrible but finally got diagnosed with gastroparesis about 1yr ago. Having no answers 4 so long was rlly terrifying, being in the hospital so much and got to the point where I just thought i was gonna die.. Made me rlly scared/sad learning about GP but atlst its not a mystery anymore, i feel like im on the right path and I can finally see a shimmer of light at the end of this dark tunnel. Mine came from years of bulemia and years of having to be on harsh pain meds. (All in the past thankfully).. Im not on feeding tubes rn, still having to do annoying tests, im mainly on an all liquid diet atm and its so hard to put on weight I hate it.. This has been so hard to adjust to. Its just so dang hard physically, mentally and emotionally. Also alot of my friends just dont understand at all, they think i can just stop it, eat and gain weight they just dont get it or why I stay home sick so much. They arent supportive so Ive sort of just become a hermit because of stuff like tht so I dont have to deal with explaining myself over and over again.. I went from 145 to 100lbs so fast, im 110lbs atm, still underweight but am hoping to gain more. Pple just dont understand gastroparesis and how it works. Its not like i can just make it go away or that i chose this. :( If I cld eat I wld, I hate not being able to just eat what i want, when i want.. I rlly hope to be strong like you 1 day. Also i guess if pple rlly cared and were my friends they wld research GP or something and atlst try to understand.. Im so scared of the yrs to come and how it will just keep getn worse. =( I definitely need to stop researching so much cause it just freaks me out.. You're extremely inspirational and im rlly glad i came across your channel! Im definitely subscribing, idk any1 else here in my lil city with GP, im in some support forums online but your videos are more personable and are so helpful. Ty for being so open about your gastroparesis, you're so happy etc and it definitely makes me more positive/optimistic about the future. I have narcolepsy 2, that 1 is horrible as well but im gonna shut up now and stop rambling before this ends up being a novel. Im sooo sorry this is so long its just so awesome knowing that someone can truely understand and makes me not feel so alone in that aspect of my life.
Seriously TY so much for making this channel! ❤
Lol Nxt time I comment I promise it wont be so long and a scrambled mess.. 😂 Scouts honor!
Much love to you and happy holdays Amy!

That was long.....
Maria Solano God bless you!! ❤️
Maria Solano I’m so sorry, Maria. I’ll be praying for you. While I don’t have the condition you do, I do understand what it’s like to have a serious medical condition that everyone seems to think you’re being overdramatic about and you can just “get over it already. It’s not that serious.” And all that garbage. People who don’t walk in your shoes surely know nothing about your struggles and if they aren’t willing to be there for in spite of that they aren’t true friends of yours and you don’t need them in your life only for them to bring you down even more. You deserve happiness and all the best things life has to offer! I’m really sorry that others are so quick to judge and that they try to make you feel bad about something that you cannot control. Don’t worry about those people, because no matter where they run, karma always knows their address and “she” will find them and sort them out for you. I know I can’t relate to your struggles, but if you ever want to or need to talk to someone who truly understands what it’s like to have a condition that makes life challenging, you can message me on Snapchat, Kik & Instagram. My name on all those social media platforms is @Allisonmarie567. I pray that God will pour out his blessings and healing upon you. Much love to you, Maria ❤️💕

Hello 👋
commenting on this video because this is how i was aware she was out there inspiring ppl 🥺🥺🥺🥺 i miss you so much 🥺🥺
I got so light headed watching this haha! I'm super impressed that you do it on your own, it never occurred to me that people have to do this themselves! Love from California~
ginadotballerina I did to
You don’t “have” to do it yourself, unless you feed at home
For the most part feeding is a short term thing that happens at the hospital but there are people who do need it long term and therefore do it at home themselves. But they are always instructed on how to do it safely.
Cerulean Lion alot of people "have" to do it themselves so they don't have to go to the hospital every single day to feed etc. Just like people with feeding tubes that are placed directly into the stomach. And, of course they are trained to do it. That does not change the fact that she is brave for doing it herself.
Christa Machelle that is what I fucking said. Don’t they teach reading comprehension anymore?
I never said she isn’t brave.
Cerulean Lion why all the hostility. I'm allowed to write my own opinion about it. My comment was not rude towards you so why are you being a bitch to me? Go to bed.
Damn girl I can’t even blow my nose without freaking out
🙄
Ditto! She’s a badass for sure! Kudos to you Amy!!
me too
I miss you Amy. You were a shining light that this world so badly needed. Bringing positivity and happiness for those struggling when you yourself were struggling. I’m sure your wings are as beautiful as you. ❤
Watching again the first video when i found her channel .... You thought and inspired many people than you could've imagine 🌼 rest in peace dear Amy.
I admire you so much being able to tolerate nasal tube placements 😍 I've had about 7 NG placements and I screamed and yelled every time 😂

I just watched about 3 hours of chronic illness vids and honestly, people your age should not even know what an ng tube is much less know how to insert one. Major props to you for grabbing onto your illness and squeezing all the life you are allowed to have out of it. Your smile says it all.
I keep watching your videos Amy💙. I miss seeing your smile and amazing spirit 💗. You’ll never be forgotten and neither will Tom 💙
I don't know what's going on in your life but I am so proud of you, you are brave and considerate for sharing your experience and knowledge
I would actually be so scared to stick something up my nose and down my throat
same,i dont even trust my self to just but some long stick for your nose in inside mine,i would rather die
some gal same
I would think “I’m probably going to drive this into my brain”

I have a ng tube, it's not that bad . when they put it in it hurts a little that's it. its a little uncomfortable
I love how positive she is! She is making the best of something very hard to go through!
Ive had a feeding tube myself. And you explained so well how to do it. Luv you. You are so strong. Keep going you can pull through.
And there's girls whos making 20 minutes videos crying about their hair or eyebrows

ur so brave and beautiful! i had a kidney transplant last year and i had to have dialysis so i had to take care of my pipe and learn. i remember how hard it was since I was only 14 last year. luckily there are amazing inspirational people like that to help us. ily so much!
People like you show humankind how life should be treated, with bravery and strength. You may think you are the "sick" one here, but there are so many people with a far "easier" life than yours who are severely depressed for things that dont actually matter. Thank you for being so fucking badass and pushing people to grow some balls up and manage their 100million times easier life like they should. RESPECT.
I don’t have an NG tube and stumbled across this by chance, but what a helpful and informative video for those that need help placing an NG tube or even those interested. This video is awesome.

I'm not sure why I ended up here but seriously, thank you for sharing! It's really interested. Sending you good vibes xoxox
My mom has gastroperesis! Wow. Declan had so many long term side effects but did work. She's gone to the hospital so many times and throwing up is just normal for her though she goes weeks or a couple months between episodes now. I know just from growing up with her having it that it is so life changing and I hope the best for you!
i don’t have any of these illnesses and i honestly don’t need this video but your so supportive of people who do and making these videos i’m sure really helps them. it’s also eye opening for me honestly.
You're honestly so inspirational, you talk about your illness so freely and educationally to guide and explain what you are going through to your viewers. I am luckily not in a place where I would need to place an ng tube into my body but I wish you the best with your illness and hopefully soon you won't need any tubes and get better. Good luck, you can do this 💞💞
Jeeeez. I think I would panic having something down my throat like that, but then again like you said you've done it lots of times so it must be second nature to you
Mbeepy that sounds a little rude
How the fuck is that rude?
Ed Eranged it's called being nice jackass
What is?
You rock girl
This was so interesting to watch. My daughter had a feeding tube inserted a couple of days after she was born but because she was in the neonatal icu I couldn't spend the night with her so I came in and stayed all day till visiting hours were over but they inserted the tube during the night and I believe they left the same tube in the whole time but thankfully she only needed it for less than a week. At least now I know how they did it.
Thanks for making all of your videos. I have chronic pancreatitis and chronic gastritis and have not yet been tested for gastroparesis but I don't think I have that. Many people with CP in Facebook groups for CP that I'm in also have gastroparesis and I can see how much it affects your lives daily. I love how despite all of these hardships you still smile and get up and get ready daily. I know there's many times where you probably don't want to move or get out of bed and do anyways. I think you're so strong and I admire you for all that you're doing each day!
I came here by accident and was just about to go back, when I saw you weren't a nurse or a doctor (because I only had the time to read "NG tube", so I expected to see a medical figure).
You're amazing, really. I didn't even know that pathology you're suffering from could even exist, it sounds so scary. But you're energetic and full of life and that's what it really matters!
💖 from Italy!
Amy, to you and everyone else. just because you can see the tube(s) in the back of your throat does NOT mean that it's in the stomach. The whole area where the larynx, vocal cords, epiglottis is well below where you can see it easily from the angle you show. Now some people may not need to do this, as they may know how it feels when it goes to the stomach and not the lungs, but by far, the best way to test if it is in the right place is to take the syringe and put a bolus of AIR through the tube, and ideally there would be a 3 point check with a stethescope checking both lungs and the stomach for the sound of air. Now, for someone who is only draining with that tube, it's not so critical. But god forbid someone puts water or feeding supplement through the tube and find out that it's in the lungs. Understand here that one of the other differences is that pretty much anything including the tube going into the stomach is not as big a deal as for the most part, the stomach acid will take care of any pathogens. This of course is not the same as a tube going into the lungs. Hang in there and remember that you ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
This is not correct. If you actually look at current research on nutrition and enteral feeding, you would know that injecting air and auscultating the stomach or lungs with a stethoscope is NOT recommended. The gold standard is a chest x-ray. And yes, while this is obviously not possible while at home or beyond a hospital or similar setting, the best way to know where the tube is, is through pH aspiration. The differences in the aspiration pH determines where the tube is, i.e. gastric aspirate = pH 2-4 and a respiratory aspirate pH is >7.
Hi Alex. You may very well be correct. My experiences are from working as a RRT many years ago (20+). My experiences were in a hospital setting and yes, the gold standard is the xray. However, there may be times that you need to confirm very quickly that the tube is in the stomach, and listening for air is much faster than looking for chem strips and drawing a sample of fluid. With that said, I am in no way suggesting that someone goes against the training that they have had. BTW, this applies even more so if it were the opposite, an ET tube placed into the airway. I've seen too many situations where in an emergency situation, the three point check wasn't done and the tube was in the stomach not the lungs. Enough said by me. Hang tough.
Nathan .Vanderslice The Woosh test is no longer used in the UK. Too many people have died as a result of failures using that test. if you look at the National Patient Safety Agency you will see the information. The initial test is to aspirate and ensure pH of the liquid is below 5.5. If in doubt go to xray and have the placement of the tube verified by a Dr.
We are definitely not recommended to use the whoosh test anymore. No one needs a tube so urgently that you don't have time to pH test. Gold standard is pH testing NOT X-ray as it is so open to misinterpretation. Sometimes the tube can appear on imaging to be in the stomach but could potentially be in lower lobe of lung. If you get pH of
wardie7 wouldn't a tube like that hurt really bad if it is in your lung..I'd think you'd start choking.... I'm not a nurse so if I sound sarcastic I'm not..thank you nurses for your service

I don't think u realize how strong you are! U inspire so many people and ur always happy and energetic. Ur unique and special and I hope u know that!
I find this amazing because in nursing school they tend to forget to educate you on the fact that there are people who do this for themselves on a regular basis, they don't have to see a nurse or a doctor... Also I honestly think you explained it better than the way I was taught in school!
I accidentally snorted spaghetti up into my nose once
Im presuming it feels like that in reverse?... sounds lovely lol
that is hillarious!
How do you accidentally snort a noodle up your nose?
my friend was round for dinner and made me snort laugh lol

So what you are saying is that you are experienced XD
this gives me war flashbacks to when i used to have to do this.
but for some reason i’m still watching
still can't believe this beauty is gone. Such an inspiration. thoughts to her family ❤
I´m a male nurse and I find this whole process very interesting, whereas I am sorry for you that you need to do this in the first place. But your braveness helps people a lot. Greetings from Germany
Ive had many NG tubes and take it from me, this is not easy nor comfortable nor fun! Kudos to Amy xxx RIP xxx
Beautiful and brave. I've had a few NG tubes in my life. Of course I hated them. I do have (for the rest of my life)a feeding tube to get my nutrition because fo Adnoid Cystic Carcinoma. Cancer on the base of my tongue. I commend you for sharing. God bless you.
She always put a smile on my face when I was down but I cried when she did. She will be missed by many people. she is watching all of her family and friends. Love and miss you Amy RIP my friend
I had a surgical feeding tube to adhere my stomach to my abdomen for an emergency surgery to save my stomach tissue and BOY does seeing stomach contents bring back memories. I wasn't fed through my feeding tube as it was just used for adhesion but it was SUPER fascinating to see the food I was eating in that clear tube. Not fun when the lid came off from the pressure and spilled all my stomach contents all over me in my sleep. Probably one of the first surgical experiences I have. You are brave and a true icon. Thank you for sharing and educating so many people on this little talked about subject.
I know how hard it can be to place ngs- I've placed over 50 myself, for feeding but now for draining. But the key pieces of advice I could give is that everyone has different shaped nasal passages, so what one technique works for one will not work for another. In fact, even in one person they have completely different shaped passages, so have to use different methods accordingly. I know every hospital has an opinion on the correct way to do it, but looking in the back of the throat will not tell you if the NG is in the right place or not. Every time I've placed a tube, I check my throat to ensure it hasn't coiled, but you cannot tell the difference between it being in the stomach or in the lung just by looking at it. Whether you're feeding or draining, you should always check the PH, as you can't always tell if a tube is in the lung. By not following the proper steps, you are at risk from a lung infection.
Also, an 8fr can drain really well, it depends on the holes in the tip that sits in the stomach. If it only has one hole, it will drain very little, but if it has 4 or more, it'll drain just as well as a 10fr or 12fr. Rylles from Pennine Healthcare are excellent, I can only use 8fr or smaller, and this brand are specific drainage tubes, and catheter bags fit perfectly on the end when you're out of bags!! They do 8fr to 20fr size- wise. If you're struggling with not draining very well, it might be worth enquiring about them. If you want anymore details, please let me know. I hope you're having as easy a day as possible xx
I'm sorry. Could I ask you and her mean by drain?
+Hann Swift I'm a bit puzzled... If you've had it many times in your stomach, are you SURE you don't feel something is wrong when it's down your lungs? I've been inserted with feeding tubes over 300 times (anorexia) and only 1 time I felt something was VERY wrong, and I started coughing and not getting air. All the other times were in the stomach and easy once you got used to it. I think I would've noticed it being in the lungs, but if you're not familiar you should definitely check the first 20 times or so. Maybe my nasal anatomy is easy, so it never goes down my lungs, but I can't imagine NOT NOTICING it went so wrong?? Also, a lot of the times the staff just drew back the syringe and seeing stomach content, and then going ahead to feed me without checking PH. They usually pushed down water before starting with the feeding though, maybe as a precaution.
Oh, and I've never done it on myself, just had others do it. But back then I knew exactly how it felt when it was right.
You are *quite* likely to be able to tell that it's in the lungs and not the stomach, but not everyone has the coughing sensation. Aspiration of stomach contents with a pH test is the only 100% safe method.
Yass Kween it's to get rid of gastric (stomach) contents to avoid extra pain, nausea and vomiting.
thank you for showing the stomach contents too, really interesting
is it more annoying to vomit with NG tubes in?
Shayan yes, I have gastroparesis and vomiting with an ng tube is much worse than vomiting without. Often you can throw up your tube, meaning the part of the tube that was in your throat will come up into your mouth. Sometimes you are able to swallow it down however it isn’t easy to swallow back down so you may have to pull the tube out and not be able to get it back in. Hope that was helpful
@@Flo-yy5wb thank you !
Shayan your welcome
I realize how hard this must be for you! I already start gagging when the dentist takes a look at my teeth. Even had difficulties seeing you do this, mentaly i'm not strong enough for this but i watched you do it.
I randomly stumbled across this video and I’ve never actually thought about how feeding tubes work. Thanks for educating me, you are so brave beautsss 💜

Thank you for sharing this,it's very informative.

i love your audios, keep it up
FREAKY TUNES it helps her 2 eat
Hi
C'est d'écouter
I had to have one of those and hated it being inserted. I screamed the place down as they were pushing hard and I kept gagging. I was in an eating disorder unit for 5 months but they didn't realise I have actually got leaky gut syndrome so my weight was always low and I couldn't gain. I'm still only 5 stone 6 and no matter what I eat it comes straight out the other end in a matter of 10 minutes. I'm 43 years old and my weight sometimes drops to 5 stone 3 is I eat too much. I won't get anything done about it as I suffer from PTSD. I just live with it.
My GP is fine about it and is keeping an eye on me but I only see her once every 3 months. Your brave and I admire you. Couldn't go through what you do, been there done that, no way again!!!!
Best of luck hun in everything and sorry you have that condition 😟
Take care 😍
L glutamine powder helped my leaky gut a lot:-)5 gr in the morning and 5 gr in the evening on an empty stomach ,it really healed my gut
WOW. You are so brave! I would have been so scared to put an NG tube in by myself let alone put it on youtube! That really is so so brave of you! Your amazing!
Sadly she has now passed away
You’re such a strong woman, I can’t. This is so interesting, makes you humble to be honest.
Omg you're so brave! I'd be gagging and crying and freaking out
im not good at sleeping with a back brace every night, i don't know how you could but a tube up your nose and in your stomach to drain your stomach. omg ur so strong.
Oh my goodness. Major props to you!!! I had to have an NG tube for I think a day and a half - two days. Awful. I had the worst time. I had a complication from a surgery. No. Fun. Great job showing that no matter what is happening it is your normal and it’s ok to ask....we have a son with autism. I’d much rather people ask then just stare.
When my babies were born at 34 weeks they had ng tubes and it was horrible to see them go through it. Your quite brave to do this.
I had to get a ng tube in the hospital for my stomach and it was the most painful thing ever!! This is shocking I wouldn’t be strong enough to go threw this.
Can we please take time to admire this woman’s eyebrows? Literally #goals #beautiful
She's gorgeous period!
Duh. I just love her look.
wow I admire you so much. there is no way in HELL I could ever do that on myself (even watching has made me nauseous) so major MAJOR props to you, you're very strong
I just want to say I’m a new subscriber. I absolutely love your videos this one in particular has really helped I’m most likely getting my first ng tube tomorrow because I have severe disphagia ( swallowing difficulties.) I’ve been in the hospital for several days and you are what has kept me strong so thank you so much!!! 🤗
Holy shit u are one tough chick ..i dont have ur disease but if i did i know i would faint..i got light headed watching u do it..im sorry u have to go through that ..i get nauseated alot and its the worst feeling ..i hope scientist figure alot of these disease out cause no one should suffer like this
NG Tubes are the worst, im sorry you have to have them theyre the worst thing ive never gotten i have so much respect for people who have to do this💖
Gone from this earth way too soon ❤️ thinking of you as I start my ng feeds this week. Rest easy Angel ❤️
wow, this was really interesting, i have huge respect for people like you who can tolerate ng tubes so well. i absolutely hated it when i had one, i probably needed an nj tube because i couldn’t stop vomiting, but it was an eating disorder unit and they probably thought it was a good way to punish me or something, even though i had tried really hard to eat/keep my food down. i’m terrified of the tube and don’t think i could ever do it myself, you’re one amazing human being💕💕
OMG BABYYYY you're so pretty **heart eyes for miles**
I am so proud of you.. U r the real fighter.. May God bless you always...

RIP Amy, I can’t believe it 💔👼🏻❤️ fly high
Wow, really impressed that you are able to show your technique and be so educational. A huge thank you
Its amazingly brave and selfless that you do these vids for others who may be going thru the same thing and also to educate ppl on the illness. Thank you so much for your strength.😁
Hi love
I hate the tubes i have them when i get obstructions they hurt an they hurt when i talk.
You seem to handle them really well 😃😄
You’re so amazing! It’s so cool how you share this with us, it will definitely help a lot of people! & also help to give them confidence when doing this! Thank you so much for sharing! You’re truly a blessing! & btw- you are so pretty & have the most beautiful dark, thick hair! Ahh! I love it! 🖤
I hate inserting NGTs even in a comatose person, to see you do it to yourself is freakin unbelievable. Girl you are a badass. wish u the best of health
You are brave and have a positive attitude with your sickness . I have never seen anyone like this and share so much about what you go through . glad to see you can be happy. 😊
rest in peace angel👼
Rip angel🕊 i already miss you💗 i love you:(
If you curl the tube tip around your ringer, and dunk it in ice water you can insert the tube without using the drinking water trick. The tip of the tube will have a curl, when you insert it, place it so the the curl is pointed down, when you get to the back of your throat, you turn the tube over 180 degrees, and advance. It will follow the back of your esophagus down into your stomach. Then listen to the end of the tube and take a few deep breaths, if you hear air movement it's not in the stomach.
I love how encouraging and educational you are! I just found your channel today and I am so amazed at how you simplify and normalize procedures that are very scary and intimidating for the majority of us. Keep up the amazing work!
Mad respect for you!💛 I had one and it was a pain in the ass
Looks so uncomfertable. Sorry you have to go through this. Stay strong ❤️
I actually love watching your videos alot. I have never heard about your health issue at all until now. Your such a amazing woman and very positive too
Ok I love the way you react to things..you’re so calm and mature I really admire your attitude
I have a tube on and off for nutrients and water.
for 9 months.
