May be weird to say but I'm gonna say it anyways. I too grew up in a tumultuous home, and your relationship with Mats seems so peaceful, it gives me hope Obviously nothings perfect but it give me hope that a calm and caring love exists for me in this world. Love your vlogs!!
wait im gonna cry this is so kind 🤍
@@MeghanRienks I so agree, Mats and your relationship, at least what we see, is so loving and peaceful. I can only dream of something like that.
🎉czcams.com/users/shortsHVG2ffeXXtc?si=HC764WDGS7hluaIw
As someone who's been in countless exam rooms listening to doctors say all the wrong things, that nightmare appointment wasn't your fault. Let the tears flow but know you're not alone ❤
Your peaceful love with Mats is all i want in life. Although i don’t know you in real life he seems like the perfect partner for you. I’m so happy you found each other
Meghan vs Random Invasive Plant was not the battle I expected to see, but it was comedy gold.
Velvet (particularly dark velvet) looks like a different shade depending on which direction you are looking at it from. It will also react to indirect light, lamplight, etc. I think you would be happiest with the first fabric choice. The room is light enough to handle a dark sofa.
That rug 😍 I’m obsessed and it makes me want to choose things in my home that I love and not always go for the “safe option”. I also love the connection is give Mats to his grandma 🥰
I was crying with you during that drive home from the doctor. I’m sorry you weren’t given the respect and care you deserve❤
Being a fat person, doctors often say dismissive and harmful things to me. Thank you for acknowledging the pain people in larger bodies often face in medical spaces.
the rug you got is literally the exact rug i've always wanted to get. It looks amazing!
I normally hate rugs (the patterns and designs) and that one is so pretty I would hang it on the wall not use it as a rug
I'm so sick of doctors saying it's just anxiety like it's the cause of problems and not a symptom of an actual physical problem. There are so many things that can cause that feeling and it should be seen as an indication of a bigger problem. Sending love and hope of much better doctors in the future❤
The rug is so pretty! It looks like a tapestry.
I’m so sorry this was your experience. I have been there too. It’s true everything gets labeled as a symptom of anxiety and it’s unfair. It’s frustrating. You’re not alone in feeling this.
Is anyone commenting on shades of the couch? lol I love the olive tone and I totally get where you’re coming from, but I feel like it you got a copper/warm tone carpet to match the fire place, it would lighten it up and look so warm and cozy! My second choice would be fir🫶🏼
That rug is gorgeous. It reminds me of Narnia ❤
I love your videos. Such comfort vibes. ❤
I completely agree, there are times when I am very unhealthy, barely having any kind of exercise and people think that just because I am in a smaller body that I am very fit and healthy.
Always love watching your house content. I love all the colours, character & personality you bring to life in each space. Your home looks like a beautiful reflection of you both. Also love those green colour swatches for the couch, agree an in between would be perfect! Also loving the pink too (I work as an interior designer). Your videos always have such a peace about them, very comforting and just so easy to watch ❤ I also struggle with chronic illness and being dismissed by medical professionals is so draining. I related to much to what you were saying around doctors constantly trying to just blame things on “anxiety”. I’m so sorry you are dealing with this. Sending so much love your way ❤
I LOVE my interior define couch. I almost didn’t get it though because the company went bankrupt a year ago. But then they were bought so now they’re fine. Love the fabric choices and the custom adjustments that interior define offers.
mats talking about his grandma's rugs made me cry a little LOL (yes I am on my period)
I feel you so much on the doctors. I struggle with a good GI doctor. They tell me you don't have this or that but yet I have so many issues that make me not want to go anywhere or if I do go anywhere I don't eat.
Meghan, I've been through a load of awful doctors, to the point where I could practically have a doctorate myself. They've dismissed my symptoms, suggesting I was making them up. But please, don't give up. Advocate for yourself relentlessly. I promise you'll eventually find a good doctor who will listen and provide the answers you need. I did.
Love this, also texture or background or cushions can really make a difference to how a colour works in a room. ❤
I’ve had an interior define couch for 3 years and I love it! I have the Gaby 80” with 36” depth, tapered round wood legs in oiled walnut, and down alternative fill. I got it in the color Ivy with the performance vintage velvet fabric, highly recommend and sounds like the color you were originally looking for, but all their swatches are lovely. I ordered it during the pandy so it took 4-5 months to receive it, but I’d hope their shipping times have improved since then!
I just went to the gyno for a lump thats protruding from my womb area and I think its like a lymph node or a swollen ovary. It kinda hurts, and the gyno looked me dead in the eye and said "Have you tried taking advil?"
I would definitely get a second opinion, I've had some horrible experiences with doctors to then have some great doctors. That doctor just sounds awful, I'm so sorry for your experience!
I too have chronic health issues and I FEEL the car ride segment of this video 😭💔 it sucks so bad. I just wanna reach through the screen and hug you 🤗 just please don’t give up on yourself (also try to find female doctors I have found some of them actually listen) we can’t give up on ourselves ❤❤❤
that rug looks magical.+!
Both me and my bestie have Interior Define couches and LOVE them - hers is a blue/green and mine is green. We both have pets and they’ve held up very well. I think Claudia’s couch is ID!
Meghan posts, I watch 🥰
I think fir for the couch would compliment the rug in the dining room too!
Omg I’ve never been this early to a Meghan video
You wanna massage the roots and get most of the old soil loose before planting! You can also trim roots if you need to. That way the roots can easily spread out and get nutrients from the new soil!
Also to hopefully offer some validation, I’m a licensed clinician and medication is proven to be the most effective intervention for ADHD. And a rheumatologist doesn’t know enough about psychotropic medication to be giving advice like that.
But did they order any blood tests? Have they checked your ANA?
Every time I try to pull up a weed and fail or can't get the roots I just make myself feel better by ripping off all the leaves and telling myself I destroyed it's ability to thrive/make itself food 😂
Try pottery barn York sofa! Comes in so many colors/textures
feel you so hard on how miserable and frustrating those shitty doctor’s appointments can be-especially as someone with ADHD when just setting them up and getting there can be a feat by itself!
I am so sorry about that appointment. I know someone has already said this, but see if you can get into another rheumatologist. That was ridiculous. And please know that it was not your fault. (Also on the note of doctors blaming things on your weight- I gained 50lbs since 2020 [also went from being an active 24-year-old college student to now a 28-year-old married lady with an office job] and every single thing can apparently be fixed now if I lose weight. It's so frustrating because I have now seen both sides of it. When I weighed less doctors actually listened. It's crazy frustrating. So I hear you.) Sending you SO much love!! Also completely different note but that rug is AMAZING!
I’m sorry about the doctor - as someone with POTS i sympathize - not saying all non-male doctors are perfect but I would definitely get a second opinion you deserve better and maybe see if you have can a preliminary my chart message or conversation with an doctor to see if it’s a good fit if they’ll let you
yep doctor are elfin amazing at making you feel little. I live in Georgia (aka judgment af)and it feels like every time someone is like you just need to exercise cause youre overweight. I have pcos/a bum ass ankle that makes it hurt to be on my feet/ptsd issues the answer is not always exercise. Cause now, I exercise every day and you want to know how much that has help? 0%. none. nada. only thing it helped was im not so tired (but my sleep apnea is worse somehow). I dont love doctors
I have this magical rug too!
OMG THAT RUG
Baking soda works really well on tarnished silver. I put it on a paper towel and just rub rub rub. Then when it looks better, I just wear it and it just keeps improving
I vote cognac!!
Also I don't have tinnitus but I still get that high pitched ringing that comes on all of a sudden.
Do you think Gateshead will get promoted in the play offs?
I would go with the olive.
The unidentified plant that took the home of its deceased cousin looks like a viola or pansy. They self seed and are pretty delicate flowers
I think blush would end up matching the floor as it looks from top down, like the same tone. Fir does seem like a lint collector so pass for me. Top down cloud is cute and blue. I would say i tied between cloud, cognac and moss. Cognac you could switch out pillows more if you ever want to change it up.
my mom specialized in colour theory interior decorating so I love thinking about this. I also think in your personal spaces you can overthink it
maybe a brown couch ould look verrry cool there!
I like it
I’m so sorry how that doctor treated you. It’s so infuriating and I’ve left so many appointments crying because of similar situations. I have chronic Lyme disease which has also triggered multiple allergies and autoimmune diseases. I’ve had doctors tell me that it’s all in my head, I’m just depressed, or they act like it’s a complete waste of time. I’ve given up spending money I don’t have and wasting time because I haven’t found a single doctor the past 9 years that believes me.
Best
Looks like you're battling some serious Honeysuckle
i really appreciated you raging for all of us who aren't thin who have to deal w the exercise passive aggressiveness. the way you feel when you mark down that you have anxiety is how I feel the second they see my overweight body in conjunction with any complaint of pain. like yes bitch I get that it might be because I have too much weight on my joints but also I had these problems at my literal thinnest body that was only achieved by over exercising and an ed so like I kinda think maybe there's something else underlying it??? but I've never had the energy to truly advocate through all that bs. proud of you for going to the appointment. fuck all dismissive doctors out there. we all deserve better.
also, I do think there is a link between trauma/eds/autoimmune disorders/adhd/authism from my own observations and people I know so it is interesting that he brought up stuff w your parents...but I hate that he was kinda missing the link that trauma can contribute to real illnesses within the body and mind so like its not the answer he thinks it is its simply more a justification for why your concerns should be listened to and investigated
Oliveeeeeeee
I vote cognac or moss.
nice
❤
there are so many unsensitive doctors out there
I feel like this when i go to my doctor. they just gives me pamphlets for me to review and not go through an actual solution/action steps that might be helpful. I have been trying to get a hormone test done related to possible PCOS/insulin resistance and birth control problems and haven't gotten anywhere when i bring it up and my small blood panels dont show anything way out of range so she doesnt do anything and its so frustrating!
I’ve also had that exact experience of desperation at a doctor’s appointment where I swear I zoned out and just was trying to hold back tears! Thanks for sharing that awful reality some of us have to endure… may better humans with a medical degree cross your way!
I cannot count the times I've had to bite my tongue or the inside of my cheek to keep from crying until I can get out of the building. Sometimes I barely make it out of the office.
(UK viewer) The first time I saw a rheumatologist she was fcking awful to me, she was the head of the department but was so dismissive because of my age (early 20s when I went to see her), wouldn't actually listen to anything i was saying, belittled me through out the appointment. I was MAD when I left. A few years after i was referred yet again to a rheumatology.. She passed me on to another colleague and thank f*ck. Because he was amazing, explained things so well, took his time with me, said I had nothing rheumatology related but diagnosed me with Fibro and joint hypermobiity.. Its so hit and miss with Drs, some have their own agendas, some cant be asked to actually figure out whats going on. And a lot of the time you become the expert on your health because these doctors haven't heard of your other conditions or understand that you don't conform to a textbook version of the condition. Its really hard to go through. And its okay to cry, its frustrating as hell. But its never your fault, so don't go down that road (regardless of what info you gave them they were always gonna give you a lazy answer). I have PTSD and trauma from a few things but thats such an easy-out for Doctors to use that.. yes, it probably is the root cause of some conditions developing.. But help me with the symptoms?? Give me a plan to live a functional life.
*Rant over* Didn't expect to type all that out lol but i love watching your videos and listening to this I had to share.
L from London, UK x x x
Moss green couch! Cheerful and chic. Going to a rheumatologist can be very upsetting, unfortunately ADHD affects our nervous system too causing other chronic conditions but they don't tune in to it right away - keep fighting girl 💪
The sleep talking is giving Stu Pickles from Rugrats. Anyone?
Lip gel
Going to the rheumatologist can be relieving or very much not what you need that day. My last appointment was just: you have some sort of connective tissue disorder! Goodluck girl! Like hello??? what the hell am I to do to help myself ma'am!!? But these doctors are just like us. They just went to school for longer. They have their biases and beliefs they hold and say out loud when they should NOT.
You are so beautiful ❤❤❤😊😊
1) any doctor can diagnose EDS. It doesn’t have to be a rheum. hEDS is just a checklist. Get genetic testing for the other EDSs. 2) you can fire doctors and get a new one. Fire that rheumatologist. Get a new one. 3) to help with #2, message both docs who wanted you to see a rheum for EDS and tell them how the rheum appt went and what the rheum said. Request they refer you to a new rheum.
Don’t know whats up with the algorithm, had to search your account to find the video, wasn’t in my recommended as usual!
Girlfriend, I cried on the couch watching you cry in the car. I felt your pain from deep within. I've had so many of those experiences with doctors & it's beyond frustrating. Like, can someone just be on my fucking side for once?? So, I get it. And I hate it for you that you experience that too when you just want to feel better so you can live your life. So you can THRIVE. And few things are more frustrating than a doc who knows zero about you, but tells you to get off a med that is literally saving your life. Boo.
I have very similar parental trauma to yours and I'm so sorry you or anyone else has to experience that mess. (Not to mention not knowing your family medical history and you don't dare go about finding out). But, I love that you and Mats found each other. He's so good for you and you def deserve someone who treats you so well. He has such a gentle, peaceful vibe and I love that for you! If you guys ever decide to have kids, y'all will be the most amazing parents. Sending you so much love and good vibes.
P. S. I'm obsessed with that absolutely gorgeous rug! We have several Ruggable rugs. We're big fans.
Years ago my PCP sent me for a tilt table test which then needs to be interpreted by a cardiologist. The cardiologist said “everyone passes out during the tilt table test it doesn’t mean anything” and “just wear compression socks” but I worked retail so wearing compression socks under jeans would’ve made me too hot and I didn’t want to wear them with shorts. I don’t remember if I cried during that appointment, but it was so discouraging. Thankfully my PCP didn’t care what he said and she worked with me to get on medication for POTS and it drastically changed my life. I’m so sorry that rheumatologist sucked ass but there is help out there! Keep advocating for yourself. Your quality of life MATTERS. 💙
I’m so so sorry about your doctors. When I was struggling and diagnosed with anorexia I went to a heart doctor because I was having heart issues and he asked me “have you tried eating more?” and I was beside myself. after a year of being in recovery my body just didn’t feel right anymore and I went to so many doctors. I found a functional medicine doctor who literally has changed my life. I didn’t believe in some of her woo woo stuff but I’m not joking I feel so much better. So much more so than any “normal” doctor. Sending love.
i’m so sorry you had to go through another shitty doctors experience, but i need you to know that you sharing your experiences is everything to me..
i’ve also gone through a lot of trauma with doctors not believing me, not hearing me, not actually caring about what i have to say, blaming it on my anxiety, it is PAINFUL!
i’m SO sorry for both of us that we both have had to go through this, but when you post the honesty about it, it makes me feel heard and less alone, and i’m sure it does the same for others who feel the same way❤
I am so so sorry. I have also cried after an appointment with the rheumatologist! I have had rheumatologist tell me “oh don’t worry, it will probably get better in like ten or fifteen years” and another one tell me I might have fibromyalgia and then said “but that’s not my area of expertise so I can’t help you”. But last week a was very brave and called and asked for a different doctor, so hopefully I’ll have a better experience next week!
My old doctor, no matter what I came in with, always started with "so you haven't lost weight. what have you been doing to fix that?" It's so exhausting as a plus size woman that, not only did he never take me seriously, but he also felt the need to comment on my body, even if I was there because I had a cough or just needed a referral. I'm so sorry every time I hear any other woman experience that. I try so hard to only see women doctors and that's why.
Ok that Rheumatologist suckkksssss. I promise there are competent rheumatologists that would help. I’m so sorry you this is happening!
Tell the doctor to write down his response to you and demand a second opinion and if he doesn’t think he’s up to it get a women doctor. I cried after every doctors appointment until I got angry. Doctors are people doing their best but so are you and you don’t deserve to be dismissed!!
I so wish there were advocates that knew how to speak “Doctor”that could go in with patients so that the patients don’t feel steamrolled.
Like the medical system is such a nightmare my instinct is to be like “f it, I’ll come help you!” While my a** in Texas and I don’t know you 😂😂😂💀💀💀 I’ve just been dealing with this crap for 17 years so I always want to help 😭☹️
Meghan!!! When you've recovered from that horrendous doc, think about finding a different doc. Psychology, exercise and those other suggestions clearly aren't the answer for you. The right doc is out there somewhere.Take care of yourself in the ways that work for you.
The frustration with doctor's simply not getting it is SO REAL. I cry every time I leave an appointment, I have RA and they just tell me to do some stretches ... I totally understand how you feel! :( I really hope you find a doctor that VALIDATES you and your symptoms. Also, loved the relaxing vibe of your home makeover and gardening 🥰😇🌻
I'm so sorry about your shitty drs experience, my mom has chronic pain and the way the medical system mistreats/ignores women is INSANE. like telling you to download the calm app is SO condescending and mitigating your pain
Rule #1 for me with doctors...I never go to a male doctor. EVER....im sorry to any amazing ones....but I always have gone to women. They just understand better for some reason. They also listen better. Just my experience of being around A LOT of doctors and working with them.
Hi Meghan, I'm so sorry that your experience with the specialist was so terrible, I had a similar experience when I was trying to figure out my chronic pain :( I listen to a podcast called, The cure for chronic pain by Nicole Sachs, and it has really helped me so much. It may or may not be the case for you, but sometimes there is a mind/body connection to pain. The podcast explains the brain science of this and stresses that the pain is 100% real pain, not made up, but might not always have a physical cause. I'd recommend listening to the first episode that explains the brain science of TMS (mindbody pain), and then S3, ep 33, where she interviews a woman who suffered from POTS, fibro, CFS, Chronic fatigue and other health conditions and improved through learning about this. I know anything linking mind and body can sound very dismissive and kind of gaslighty, but I promise this isn't! The are so many stories of people with absolutely debilitating pain that have gotten better through doing this work. Theres also a few podcasts where people talk about long covid, and how this work helped them recover
There are also books about TMS written by John E. Sarno. I've read The Mindbody Prescription by him (I guess it's a little ironic that it was written in 1998 which is right around when my own pain journey (with migraine) started and it took me until last year to find it and read it) and it was eye-opening. It didn't make my pain disappear (apparently that's the case for tons of people with chronic pain after having read that book though!) but it has changed my relationship to my pain and I'm sure things will continue to evolve now that I'm familiar with the concept. He writes a lot about debilitating back pain but mentions tons of other conditions in relation to TMS. I haven't heard of Nicole Sachs but will check her out, thank you. I agree with you on Meghan's doctor's appointment, sounds so shitty and I've had my share of doctors like that, too. It sucks.
Cry in the office with them. If that’s how it makes you feel then cry. Crying is just as catharctic as anything else you can do. They may not get it these specialists and doctors cause they don’t deal with chronic conditions like their patients do and sometimes they lose their humanity. Advocate for yourself though- push back. Ask questions.
How do some of these doctors dare to charge such high prices for a whole lot of NOTHING
I waited two months to see a rheumatologist for fibromyalgia only for him to tell me that he wasn’t that familiar with treating it??? Like what? I appreciated his honesty but also would have been nice to get my money back. I too cried on the way home because I was so hoping for some help for just once.
I feel you are so hard on the doctor's front. I have had super bas stomach pain for the past about two weeks. Today at the doctor, he looked at my meds and went, "Oh yeah, those anxiety and depression meds are the cause, you're taking too many." I'm sorry that they were proscribed by a professional. Then he was like, stop taking this one and cut back on that one and see me soon. It will help with the stomach pain. Like how?
Also it’s not like those meds were prescribed two weeks ago and your stomach pain has been bad for two weeks so how are those even connected???? God sometimes I think there needs to be some kind of empathy test that doctors need to pass in order to practice. I know the teach bedside manner but they sure don’t make sure the doctors actually practice it
Exactly what my psychiatrist said when I called him. I mean this dr had the nerve to tell me he didn’t think I had depression. Like thanks but the mental breakdown a few years ago says otherwise.
When Meghan speaks about the Rhumotologist it hit me hard. I spent over a year looking for a diagnosis and everyone agreed it was Fibromyalgia. But my primary care said that it wasn't her job to treat that, so she sent me to Rhumo, who walked in, didn't even touch me, and told me the primary care doctor knows that they don't treat Fibromyalgia at this rheumatologist. He said tell you doctor she is being lazy. So I spent months waiting for an apt that I thought would be my saving grace, only for him to not even touch me or examine me and suggest I see my psychiatrist. (My diagnosis was fibromyalgia before I went in, they saw the paperwork, they knew that was hat I had and knew they wouldn't even think of examining me, and still wasted my time and money). It is sad and awful, but you are not alone.
I've been trying to get evaluated for RA from a rheumatologist for 20 years and unfortunately most of my clinic appointments with GPs have been similar to what you're describing. It is so disheartening. Especially knowing that a man with the same complaints wouldn't be treated this way.
Even IF some of your health issues stem from trauma (which really can impact your health and doesn't mean it's "all in your head") EDS is genetic so it would have nothing to do with that 🙄😡 And to comment on your ADHD medication when that has nothing to do with your visit is ridiculous. I've definitely been in the same position as you after doctor's appointments and feeling bad about getting excited for a new doctor only to be let down. It's not your fault he was terrible! I'm so sorry and hopeful another doctor can actually listen to your concerns and help you. Appreciate your comments on exerecise/body size too. When I was malnourished and losing weight without trying due to my illness, my doctor just said, "That must be nice." 😮💨
I wish I could give you a hug and send you to my dr at the Cleveland clinic. The first dr that actually listened to me and helped with my pots after 12 years. Truly life changing and I want that for you so bad
You should have refused to pay for the appointment as he didn’t really treat you. That doctor sucks. It’s hard because you try to be polite but that is so full of crap. You know there is something wrong so don’t listen to that doctor. I also was told that I just had anxiety and depression. Turns out I had Adrenal insufficiency and almost died before I found a really great doctor. They do exist. Don’t give up.
I just got my EDS diagnosis yesterday after so many years of being gaslit by shitty doctors. I found through scouring so many groups and resources that finding someone who will evaluate for it tends to be less about the type of doctor and more about whether that doctor is familiar with EDS and comfortable assessing for it. I ended up having to see a naturopath nurse practitioner but she ruled everything out and diagnosed me in two visits. You deserve adequate care. You are not making things up. Keep going! Look for local support groups and ask members who they've gone to. Call those doctors. Take no shit! You've got this. Hoping you find your answers and the care you deserve soon
The rampant gaslighting we’re subjected to is unacceptable and infuriating.
Ugh that rheumatologist sounds like an utter penis. Sending you so much love! Living with chronic illnesses is so hard and when its all psychologised away because you also have mental health problems (or even if you dont) it's just so disheartening. You're doing a great job. And thank you for sharing ❤
I hate fucking doctors. It took over a year to be diagnosed with Gastroparesis and even that was an accident. I went in for a stomach scan (and cannot think of the word) and had undigested food from 18 hours prior. Have since been hospitalized for suspected stroke (it wasn’t) and have every symptom of MS except I don’t have the correct looking white matter on my brain so I can getting tossed around to every dr under the sun. Every medication that makes things worse and the meds that work are a struggle to get insurance to pay for. I’ve finally given up that my body and brain are never going to work right and just live with the pain. I try to be positive but something is wrong and all I get is that it’s anxiety or that I have to move more! I had spinal surgery last year because I was losing function and mobility in my right arm. The pain and issue is still there. You’re not alone and it’s NOT in your head or rooted in your trauma.
✌️ "promosm"
You have no idea how seeing you guys normalize wearing masks 😷 makes me feel! I have Long Covid neurological damage and feel like the lone person on the planet still wearing one.
I keep wearing my mask & I get looks where I live, but when I was at the chiropractor today I saw two other people with masks & it was so validating I cried in the car after 😅
Yes!! It's so hard being the only one!
I am very much a mask hater, only wore them where mandated, etc. But I have never looked down upon, or judged anyone for deciding to protect themselves. We all have a choice to protect ourselves or not too.
@@VelociraptorKristin it’s not just a choice to protect yourself, your also choosing whether or not you protect others & you’ve chosen to only care about yourself.
Bebi puedo enalurme no duró ok no pienses eso de mi teamo
Chronic inflammatory response syndrome maybe?
I’m sure you get tons of messages like this but is it possible you have reactivated Epstein Barr virus from having mono back in the day? I know Kendall Rae was treated for this and has seen a major improvement
Good news is that you don’t have EDS!
he said I probably have it he just doesn't see the point in diagnosing something he can't treat lmao
So boring.
