    this was so much more interesting than the usual "what's in my bag?" videos!

      +NotDeadJustYet Thank you! Lol its kind of amazing what can fit in one bag

    @couldbeaddie Před 7 lety +31

    My favorite things are #spoonie editions of videos. they feel so much closer to the truth of my life lol. When I empty my bag I get the strangest stares because of having a hurl bag lol. Thank you for the video! It is nice to see you doing ok enough to film.

    I am recently diagnosed with Ehlers-danlos hypermobility syndrome. It has been a super hard journey, for a while I thought I was dying! I couldn't eat for a few months and the doctors thought it was psychosomatic. Thank you for sharing with us. Something about these videos you share help normalize the struggles. I don't have a PICC or a feeding tube, but I do have tons of braces. I just wanted to tell you how much it means to see someone else whose life is as unpredictable and UNSTABLE as mine! You're inspiring. I feel better when I watch your videos, especially on the days I'm stuck in bed.

    @scottlegofowler7485 Před 7 lety +48

    That has to be heavy. You sure have it together for the cards you've been dealt. I'm inspired by how you handle it. I find myself in odd states of depression in the wee early hours of the morning. keep up the good fight.

    • @christinadoherty3212
      @christinadoherty3212  Před 7 lety +12

      It is super heavy! The best part of being in a wheelchair was being able to hook it on the back. Now that I can walk again I unfortunately have to lug it around with me lol. But its worth it! Hang in there Scott, you are in my thoughts and prayers

    • @Joy.Elizabeth
      @Joy.Elizabeth Před 7 lety +3

      Scott LEGO Fowler praying for you! I'm up in the wee hours often too n watch a ton of CZcams(I've watched 90% of Netflix lol) but other than this awesome channel I love watching The Frey Life another awesome chick who kicks butt. I am obessed with jvloggers lately I like Rachel and Jun they're awesome and will make you laugh a lot! I like Sharla in Japan and Taylor R. I also watch Matthias and all of his channels along with Wengie and all of her channels. Many of these make me laugh. oh can't miss Good Mythical Morning!!! they are hilarious! hope one of these fall within your interest and can bring you some laughter in the middle of the night! I know those are the hardest hours usually, at least mentally. you're not alone n you're being prayed for!

      @27Tigress Před 7 lety +2

      I have a foldable little light weight thing with two wheels that I think is meant for rolling a bag of groceries. I have it in the back of my trunk and if my bag is too heavy then I use that. It folds up too. I was thinking this could be helpful if your bag is too heavy Christina!

  • @charliedickinson5283
    @charliedickinson5283 Před 7 lety +37

    • @christinadoherty3212
      @christinadoherty3212  Před 7 lety +6

      Hahaha that is very typical of me. I used to have that bag in another bag but I consolidated. Its super easy though when I need something and can tell someone exactly where to find something.

    • @charliedickinson5283
      @charliedickinson5283 Před 7 lety +1

      Christina Doherty no way! Haha that's brilliant, it's a good way to know where everything is lol. I used to have a small bag within my usual backpack containing my medicine and joint supports, but luckily that only required a small bag!

    Just thought I'd mention (I'm a service dog handler) I have found dog poop bags to be an alternative to the hospital vomit bags now they don't have the plastic price to hold it open but they have a bigger opening so I haven't had a problem with them

  • @SickAndTiredPublishing
    @SickAndTiredPublishing Před 7 lety +16

    omg i also fall down the rabbit hole of those vlogs too, esp when i'm stuck in bed. i loved this spoonie edition though! i've been looking for a backpack to switch to from my purse bc i've been overloading it with spoonie stuff and it's not doing good things to my eds shoulders. ALSO your hair and outfit are so cute in this!! xx

    • @christinadoherty3212

    @KatieMcCuee Před 7 lety

    Best what in my bag I've ever seen ❤ I'd love to see any other videos you wanted to make about what you need to prepare to go out it's really eye opening to see how many situations you have to try and plan for.

    @LoveKrom21 Před 7 lety

    I enjoyed the video. Girl you are so organized I love it. I also loved the color of your head phones and loved the bicycle bag you had! Love your style. How many times can I say love...lol. I don't know what's it's like to to have EDS. But I can't help but watch u because your inspiring, strong, and i love your style and videos. And educational. Good vibes your way. Mad respect for others with eds & the struggles y'all deal with daily.

  • @mysnellvilleblog
    @mysnellvilleblog Před 6 lety

    Wow, that is a lot to carry. Maybe you should use a rolling book bag to keep from hurting your joints. You are very organized & prepared & that’s good. I think I need to get one of those masks. Thanks for the links!

    I have been loving watching your videos. I recently was diagnosed with EDS type 1 so I'm no where near the level or have the extra comorbities you have. Im just weirdly over flexible which helped my gymnastics as a child and teenager and was always more prone to dislocating joints than other people, I also have this weird party trick where I can stretch and move my skin on my face to weird angles. but yeah my point sorry I just searched eds on CZcams after my diagnosis and your channel popped up, you are very informative on everything from living with a chronic type of eds and pic lines through braces and mickey buttons and I love how you're always so happy and peaceful its really nice to watch, even with all the curveballs life hits you with you just seem to be super chipper. p.s love the hair style ❤

    Packing's a great topic! During the last 2 weeks I did a trip to DC followed by an unexpected few day stay at a friend's when my house lost power in a wind storm. For travel, I use plastic totes for braces, meds and supplements for my functional GI disorders and MCAS and travel bags + coolers for foods I can eat and low dose naltrexone. Thanks for another great video!

    • @christinadoherty3212
      @christinadoherty3212  Před 7 lety +1

      +Angela Oddone Lol so many bags! Do you also find the bags seem to multiply on the way home? Whenever we go somewhere I always have everything neatly packed and organized and by the time we come home things are like shoved in garbage bags 😂

      +Trekkifulshay Its really awesome! I bought it used on Ebay in really good condition. I have another one that I got years and years ago for my toiletries while traveling. They have held up really well.

    • @Trekkifulshay
      @Trekkifulshay Před 7 lety

      I forgot to ask you which Benadryl you find best to crush that doesn't clog your feeding tube. Now that my daughter is older the liquid she now needs 20 ml for a single dose which can be a lot with volume tolerance.

    @DeDe6548 Před 7 lety +1

    I'm hoping you'll soon find a treatment for the issues with your neck soon but it's good to see that at least you seem to be a little better and are not completely bed-bound anymore. Wishing you all the best all the way from Germany!

    @bdavison1999 Před 7 lety

    So jealous and impressed with your organization!! laughed about the nosy part, because that is probably why I like seeing them too lol. Ps, if you don't want to carry around the whole box for your spare feeding tube ( which I personally don't even though I should because my tube has fallen out but I am just too lazy to carry it around with me) a lot of people just carry a Foley catheter of the same fr size of the tube that they can place to hold the stoma open instead of the whole tube. A lot smaller :)

    • @christinadoherty3212

  • @27Tigress
    @27Tigress Před 7 lety

    You brought up a good topic. Something I have been thinking about lately. Everytime I go into stores, especially craft stores... there are women customers who wear wayyyyy too much perfume. I try to stay away from them if they are in line. If I cover my nose they think I am weird. No matter what I do they think I am weird. But one sniff of their perfume and I end up sick and with a migraine and in pain. So that mask you have.... I like that idea but my question is... how do you use it? Do you just wear it the whole time you are out? Do you put it on randomly? Do people ask why you wear it? In the winter I can put my scarf up on my face and avoid peoples strong odors but in the summer I need another plan. I need a plan to be able to be out and about and not react. I also am afraid to get sick and frankly some people just dont' cover their mouth. If I get sick.... i will be in more pain and suffering than a normal bodied person because of my mast cells and eds. Right now I have these gloves that I wear all the way through spring and don't really use in the summer. But the gloves help protect me from touching germs and then touching my face. I really do need a mask thing though. I am so new at this... I dunno how to do some of these things. Do you think you would be willing to do a mask video? Or a video of what you do when you go out to keep safe?

      @Joy.Elizabeth Před 7 lety

      Christina Doherty lol yeah they last forever I love that! and esp the no smell that was huge for me bc my hubby has a lot of the same conditions you have and so he can't tolerate many scents esp nail polish so I was so excited to find these! :) glad you did too!! :)

  • @rosejohnson7603
    @rosejohnson7603 Před 7 lety +2

    Thanks, this was really cool and interesting to watch. Your bag looks heavy though, it is difficult to carry around along with your feeding bag?
    It would be great if you could make a packing video for when you go to the hospital for surgery/overnight stay :)

    • @christinadoherty3212
      @christinadoherty3212  Před 7 lety

      +Rose Johnson Yes! Its super heavy! Luckily I don't do a ton of walking around with it. But Thats the only thing I miss about my wheelchair, having a place to hang it. The multiple bags in the bag kind help though. If theres something I would need I just take out that bag.

    I hope this isn’t too personal. I have EDS and just started taking Elquis for PEs. I have high Von Willebrand factor. I was wondering if your blood thinner is related to EDS. I haven’t heard of many other zebras using blood thinners. Love your video ❤

    I also very much enjoy whats in my bag videos, i've fallen down that rabbit hole way too many times! Have you ever needed to use to your epipen? I also carry an epipen, though thankfully ive never needed use it. I also noticed that you had both the traditional epipen and the epipen jr in your bag, just curious if there is a reason.

    • @christinadoherty3212
      @christinadoherty3212  Před 7 lety

      +Clare Burkhardt I have never used it and yikes Im afraid to! Lol Theres not really a health reason that I have both kinda. Its just because one pack was through a refill from my old Pedi and the other was from my allergist so I ended up with both. Im pretty small so Im mot super worried about getting a pedi dose, but I would probably reach for the adult dose if I have a choice

    Wow that bag of yours is deceptively large. I used to lug around a huge bag too, untill I realised it was causing me much more pain, I have a phone and wallet combo with a shoulder strap that I wear across my body. It means I can put it down by my side or under a jacket or while I'm in my wheelchair

    • @NJSMKMMS
      @NJSMKMMS Před 7 lety

      because some times I just feel vunerable in a wheelchair. It just occured to me that now I don't have to carry a bag, so I might assemble another bag to leave on the back of my chair, when I go out for medical appts and such. Like you I travel for most of my appts so it would be one less thing I

    • @NJSMKMMS
      @NJSMKMMS Před 7 lety

      have to pack at the last minute. Lets face it, appts can be painful and exhausting enough as it is. Another good topic for a vlog might be how people organise their medical documentation, records, meds lists, imaging, pathology results, specialists reports, maybe what info do people have on

    Do you have a video about the essential oils you use? You've mentioned it in quite a few videos about ones for pain and nausea and wondered if you had a video about them x

    • @christinadoherty3212
      @christinadoherty3212  Před 7 lety +1

      +Jenni Pettican I don't have a video dedicated to it, mostly since Im still playing around and discovering them. The ones I use in my bath and bath bombs are just these big single oil bottles I bought on amazon. The blend I use on my body for pain and in the diffuser was actually sent to me by a viewer its called "rapid relief synergy blend" by plant therapy and for nausea I like peppermint oil or this little mini pocket diffuser type thing called "Quease Ease" that you can get on amazon.

      @christinadoherty3212  Před 7 lety

  • @littleanxiousturtle554
    @littleanxiousturtle554 Před 7 lety +3

    Weird question but is there any special reason why you have two green (child dose) and two yellow (adult dose) Epipens? I hope that made sense.

    • @christinadoherty3212
      @christinadoherty3212  Před 7 lety

      +Little Anxious Turtle Theres no specific reason why I would need too different ones. One set was filled through a refill order left over from my pediatrician and the other is from my allergist. So Its just what I ended up with. Im pretty small though so im not too bothered by the thought of a pedi dose. But if possible I would reach for the adult 💜

  • @SweetPea112
    @SweetPea112 Před 7 lety

    Woa! I have a clotting Disorder (Lupus Anticoagulant) and I've had to take Lovenox injections (ouch!). But did you say you have Heparin too? Do you use both the Lovenox and Heparin daily? And do you have to check PT/INR's to see how thick your blood is? Are you prone to clots? Sorry if this is too personal, it's just interesting to me since I live with the fear of clots all of the time, and it seemed like your blood must be very thin using both thinners, but could it be because you cannot swallow a blood thinner tablet like Warfarin (Coumadin)? My condition is known as "sticky blood" and so I thought my blood thinners were rather strong until I saw you with both. I love your video though! I love watching the What's in my Bag videos a lot!

    • @christinadoherty3212
      @christinadoherty3212  Před 7 lety +1

      +Beth Wade Hey! My doctor actually thinks I have sticky blood as well. We are still running panels. But I am on the lovenox, heparin (to keep the PICC free of clots) , and asprin. I had a stent placed in my jugular vein a few months ago and after that I was on high dose aspirin and Plavix and lemme tell ya, now that was thin blood 😂 We aren't quite sure if I have a clotting disorder, I have had a few TIAs, or if Its just because I have narrowing in the vessels of my brain, but the blood thinners help my symptoms a lot.

    • @SweetPea112
      @SweetPea112 Před 7 lety

      Very interesting. I am in a group called Antiphospolipid Syndrome Lupus Anticoagulant on Facebook and someone there just asked for prayers for their daughter who had EDS and Lupus Anticoagulant. I was wondering if there is was link....both appear to be autoimmune connected. Stay safe. And yes, all of those thinners! It's amazing you aren't Anemic! Good luck on your blood tests. I remember when they were testing me, they took 14 vials of blood at once! I had to sit there and have some snacks to keep from passing out because they took so much. Hopefully if they are just trying to check for the sticky blood, you won't have to go through all of that! Hugs. Let us know how it goes!!!
