Notification Squad 🥰🥰🥰
Yeah,it's painful I've had a Colonoscopy and Endoscopy I was knocked out for it!!
Amy's Life I start my prep in a few days. This is the first time I've used my J-Tube for clean out. At this point in my life, it will be the only way I can handle in since I no longer have a stomach, gal bladder, and some diseased intestine has been removed.
I always feel like there is no one out there like me :(
Take Care and hope everything is positive so I know what it's going to do for me. :(
Amy's Life I have EGD'S every 3 weeks and colonoscopy every year. Unfortunately I've had wound vacs it was too risky that I could get an infection or c-diff.
Amy, I haven't been diagnosed with gastroparesis and don't think I have it, but I do have slow motility (things go slowly through my system!). A Gastroenterologist Consultant (aka Gastro doc!) has said I have chronic constipation (I typically bleed after a bowel movement, and a week or two's worth of contents exits at one time so it's quite a workout and very painful!). The same Gastro doc was randomly flicking through my xrays, mris, and other contrasts and says it would have been easily evident to anyone that for several months prior I had quite severe chronic impaction, no wonder it hurt! I have other issues which means that taking fluids and medications that you need to mix with water is not possible and actually makes me worse. Two years ago I was only drinking about 600mls on good fluid days, whilst sweating overly profusely, during a heatwave in the middle of a super hot summer, and I was still somehow peeing (it is because of the OCD thing I have about peeing before bed, and I had to use random muscles to pass semi solids from my bladder. It was once in 24hrs, but easier with once in 48hrs when I had an insomniac night!). It is getting worse. Last summer I went to my parents to see if they could help, and although it was cooler, I didn't drink much more.
I would like to email you or contact you somehow, so that I can ask certain questions about your surgery that you likely won't put in a video, they are weird questions! If you could let me know either way, I'd appreciate it. Thankyou in advance!
Hope you all get better 😘😘❤️
You were so true. No airs and graces, it was just. I loved being thankful that you let us in. You will be sadly missed. R.I.P sweet lady
awe. it's gotta be hard on her fur babies too. sending love to everyone who loves Amy.
sending love to you too amy. thank you from he bottom of my heart for everything that you have shared, the love that poured out of you, your smile is infectious & thank you for not faking that you're never having a bad day!
Everybody needs a Tom in their life
Good luck! I hope everything went well ✨ I’ve been suffering with chronic illnesses and chronic pain for 5 years and it’s gotten the best of me lately. Your upbeat personality and high spirits reminded me that life can throw you the most terrible hand, but you choose how you let it manifest. From one spoonie to another, thank you ❤️
Amy i have watch almost all if your videos and all i got to say your a fighter such a strong woman ..seeing all u do everyday to stay strong healthy alive is just mind blowing. .........sending many blessing to you ..and i learn never ever complain again over nothing just be grateful each day...
I couldn’t imagine! And I thought my intestinal issues were bad.. I have the metabolism of a senior. No matter what I do to try to improve my B function, nothing helps. I miss the days when I didn’t feel constantly full/heavy/bloated. This 100lbs weight gain is destroying my self esteem too. Simple things we often take for granted.
Lady, you're a superstar! You have a wonderful outlook on life; you're an inspiration to everyone out there! Wishing you well and all the very best .... good health and good vibes xxx
You are SUCH an inspiration Amy! Honestly! X
Good luck with the prep ams and hope it goes well.😊👍🏻❤️🥰 love you.
Hope all goes well for you x
I have had about 5 colonoscopy treatments. I do what you do Amy, I start early with my prep. I hate it but it has to be done. Love ya. I am there with you. Love
I read Five Feet Apart over the weekend after seeing you read it and enjoy it and it was so amazing! I really enjoyed it so thank you for showing it on your vlog as that book pulled me out of a year long reading slump! :D
Tasha K I too was in a 8 month reading slump! And also saw the book here and am happy reading it now!!
I'm currently reading it and it's so good so far!!
Love you and wish you and tom the best ! You have an amazing attitude and spirit ..you go girl love you !
Amy I am behind on your vlogs once again (stupid life crap getting in the way!!) and I just saw you are in the hospital. I am so sorry to hear you experienced seizures and hope your low potassium is sorted and you get to go home soon. Sending lots of love and positive thoughts your way!!!
You can actually have very normal amount of stool on TPN as its not fully usable by the body so it is filtered through your liver and deposited into your GI tract. Along with the natural mucus and bile waste products that is passed from your intestines, there is people that end up still having proper bowel movements.
Amy I'm worried about you I havnt seen any updates since your prep clip i check everyday hope your o.k. Lots of love MB. From U.S.A
I have gastro parisis and I hate it. I just got diagnosed with it about 1year ago. Everything I eat makes my tummy hurt cause it just sits in the top of my stomach and my stomach gets rock hard. U don't have issues going to the bathroom if any thing I go way to much. It just takes forever for my food to work down my tummy.
Gastroperesis bloating is actually killer😭😭
I drink a smoothie to try and avoid such a huge bloat, and honestly I wouldn’t say it helps that much 😭
It really is! It usually looks like I'm carrying a basketball under my shirt. Lol I did have someone ask when I was due and I freaked her out when I started laughing after I said "I'm not, it's from the tiny amount of food I tried to eat today." I thought it was funny, she didn't. 🤷♀️ oh well
Prep or ANY laxatives makes me sick🤢 too Amy!
I have Spina Bifida which causes me slow bowels too.
Lil' Britt I have Spina Bifida too!!
I have ibs, doesn’t make me sick just my bowels move ultra slow. I had to start the colon prep a week before I was supposed to to try to get it to actually work. So much bloating, so much pain 😩
I hate doing a bowel prep. So miserable. I really hope that it works for you and you are able to do the test properly. I also hope the tests show no problems or show something that can be fixed easily. Take care.
I do not have a tube, but I do have pretty severe gastroparesis. When they did my last colonoscopy, it took 6 days and like a quadruple amount of meds to prep. Absolutely horrible 😂. Best of luck
Christ you poor thing!!!!
I’m 15 and also having severe gastroparesis. No tube. Hope your next hospital stay isn’t so bad
This is not medical advice, but I was advised to take 4 tablets of Senna (the one tablet will sort it type!) the day before you start taking the prep. I had morning appointments, so for me it was the day before. I also did not receive the moviprep in time so I had to improvise. I ended up having 8 sachets of my laxative movicol in about 500mls (I used a bottle and chugged). I think I took the bottle concoction with the Senna, and another bottle of it in the morning of the next day. I also might have taken another type of 'prep' in the form of possibly more Senna, or movicol, or lactulose, or a combination. I can't recall if I did that or not. I also started having foods that were easier to clear out almost a week in advance, such as noodles with more water to turn it into noodle soup, turning gravy into a broth with something, or just having rice or bread because it just tends to disintergrate. I end up taking ginger biscuits when I'm feeling nauseus as it's the only ginger tasting thing I can tolerate. Other ginger tasting things add to the nausea, so does anything like water or mint. Weird huh!
Amy, I suffer from IBS so I’m either one way or another if you know what I’m saying 😂... with your condition are you able to drink a lot of water? I drink a gallon a day, not recommending that but are you able to drink water in general?? If so, a cup of warm lemon/lime water every single morning helps with digestion. 😊😊 So glad to see you back, I’ve miss you!!! Best wishes with it all love ❤️
Does the dressing not hurt you? I just recently had a heart monitor put on and it literally burn me. We don’t know if it was the adhesive or what.
Hi Amy! Well my answer to you is a day late so I just won't give any advice. But I pray that you will start to feel better very soon. Take care.
I know with me(I have partial gastroparesis and ulcerative colitis,lovely mixture) the prep always made me so sick that we had to find one I could actually tolerate ,and they came up with the day or two before depending on how things are I take 5 bisacodyl tablets and the night before and the morning of I do 2 enemas just to be sure everything is “cleared out”...always seems to work and the has the bonus of only slight pain and no sickness...but I feel your pain preps are still horrible to do
Add a food allergy in there, and that's me! Lol! MSG-if it tastes good, don't eat it! 😂😂
Nicole Bowman I have food allergies too! Mushrooms( weird I know) and shellfish(mostly crab and lobster,I think it’s more of a crustaceans thing as I can eat things like clams ) and msg makes me sick as well
Yeah! Tomatoes, potatoes, peas, broccoli, walnuts, grapes, wheat and soy. I am *so* tired of fruits and veggies! Lol
You're so amazing!
I would think Mary Frey on the Frey life would be the top
I have severe colonic inertia.. can I ask what you take to treat your slow transit ? I’m in the uk and the 2 drugs for this have just been discontinued. I’m bs k to 10 movicals a day plus daily enema irrigation’s, but keep getting told I need an ileostomy back, but I can’t face ever having a bag again. Thanks x
I watch a lot of chronically ill people. There is your channel, The Frey Life, Life with Krystle, Hospital Princess, Chronically Jaquie, Christina Doherty and Life with Stripes.
the fact amy and jaquie both passed :((
You are soo soo inspiration to you are soo soo brave xx
To me
So what happens when goes down?
How long do you go in between bowel movements? I go 4-6 weeks and I can no longer go on my own, I have to go to the ER, get admitted and get an enema. These last two weeks I have lost like fifteen lbs, can barely keep anything down not even my meds
Keep running it 😉
Picoprep!!! Good lord that stuff tastes NASTY!😖😖
My daughter is fed through tpn due to her bowel bursting from the impact of gastroschisis
I had to do 2 days of prep.
I was wondering if you would make a video talking about your experience of an endoscopy/gastroscopy. I've got to have one within the next month because I've been having problems with my stomach since 2005. None of the meds I've been put on have worked so now they're having a look. I'm scared. One the biggest questions I have is, if you have sedation, does it work? I hate what you have to go through because you're such a great person but you're so strong and I hope you realise how much of an inspiration you are to us all. ❤❤
Holly T for colonoscopies and endoscopies they do sedate you I’ve had two I have Crohn’s disease and the worse part is literally the prep but the procedure is ok they put an iv in you they do your height and measurement and basic tests for when you go to the doctor for anything then they give you prep meds oh I forgot to mention you are naked and you have a gown on the back doesn’t close completely so you kinda gotta hold it closed if you get up they get you comfy in a bed depending on what they give you you might not remember much or you might remember everything before they sedate you the first time they took my bed into a room and there were two nurses and a doctor with a bunch of equipment they told me to turn over on my left side and pull my knees to my chest they put a little mouth guard in and they gave me oxygen a nurse told me to count and I did I fell asleep and woke up crying which can happen the second time I had it done I didn’t even remember being taken out of the room I woke up sore and sleepy they gave me anxiety medication before they put me to sleep so I would wake up crying and fighting
@@taylorburge3223 thank you for your reply. I've only got to have an endoscopy and not the colonoscopy. I'm going to just ask for all the drugs I can have and hope I don't remember anything or no anything about it. That would be the perfect outcome. Lost 2.5 stone in a year, been on 7 different types of medication and they think I have delayed gastric emptying. Can't exactly say I'm looking forward to it.
Holly T it’s going to be completely fine but I won’t lie to you the second time I got all of it done I had a really sore throat and bad stomach cramps for awhile but after I had to get a barium swallow test and afterwards I throw up in the parking lot afterwards cause my mom threw up because of a migraine headache you have to have someone take you there and take you home
I have had 3 endoscopes and sedation was good. I just got my IV got wheeled in and woke up in recovery. You’ll do great
@@meganlikessims7153 Thank you so much. That's so kind.
You are amazing
💜
Hope the prep goes ok! I had to do moviprep last week, that stuff is evil 👿
I agree! That was just nasty and evil! Had to do it back in Feb.
Honestly binge watching all your videos and I have an exam in two days 😂 😭
In the same boat
😂😂😂xxx
Niamh Ahahaha what exam do you have? Xxx
@@aisharashid989 nursing wound care 😭
Niamh OMG! I was gonna apply for Nursing but then changed my mind 😂 Good luck for whenever it is gal! I’m sure you’re gonna smash it! Xxx
I haven’t watched the video all of the way yet and I’m not sure if you’ve answered this before in another video, but if you don’t mind me asking, I’m curious what it felt like before you were diagnosed with gastroparesis? Like how it felt when it first started? I currently am diagnosed with GERD which I’ve had since birth but the last couple months i literally cannot eat without having pain and problems and feeling sick. I get very bloated on top of my usual GERD symptoms (esophageal cramps/spasms, heartburn, vomiting, gas, etc.) but I’ve read somewhere gastroparesis can be mistaken for GERD! I’ve never had pain like this before throughout my whole life having this and I’ve already lost 10 pounds, I’m getting worried for myself.. Thank you for reading, and your reply if you see this and want to answer, I appreciate it so much and I love your vlogs and main channel
I’d also like to add that I changed to a mostly vegan diet as dairy and red meat irritated my stomach a lot and it helped for awhile, but all of the sudden it’s gotten a lot worse. The bloating is so bad, I look like I’m legit pregnant even if I barely eat anything and it’s kind of painful
Hey Amy! my name is lili and I had heard you talk about having hypoklemic periodic paralysis in another video. I was diagnosed with this at the age of 14(I turned 18 november of last year) and am still struggling mentally with the episodes from this issue. I was wondering if you still have bad episodes from this how do you cope with them mentally.
Lili-Mae Parker my 15 year old son has HypoPP feel free to message me .
I used to have 3 sachets a week of that stuff plus the rest of the drugs prior to getting my large intestine out.
It took 24hours before mine worked.
Being chronically sick blows. I have POTS, Mast Cell, Classical EDS, Chronic Fatigue, and Lupus. Preps suck.
Been waiting for this bloody love you 💖💖
ninaa smartt love you too!❤️❤️
Amy's Life ❤️❤️ keep it up your amazing ❤️❤️
I have gastroperisis, but I can eat, I just get a massive, massive bloat and I have trouble digesting
I think hers started off that way, my cousin is the same; she can still eat small amounts but it takes a lot longer to digest than it does for most people. :)
I specifically looked up EDS and found you
You are very smart
Mine is in a week and I'm really scared. I've never had a major procedure except wisdom teeth removal and they messed up my meds and I was pain med free after oral surgery for 16 hours so my history isn't making me feel great about it. Endoscopy and colonoscopy 😬😬😬
Katie J I so wish all I had was my wisdom teeth removed as my only surgery! You’ll be okay 🙂 I suffer from a number of chronic illnesses and I’ve had over 14 surgeries. You’ll be absolutely okay! And the procedures you’re having shouldn’t cause you any post op pain ✨🤞🏼
You need to tell them about your sedation issue. The prep itself Id say just be close to a toilet. Some people remember the colonoscopy. I didn't
@@elenamorfos591 if you don't mind me asking what is a spoonie?
I saw that episode of the family cooking show too!
How much does it hurt Amy?
I’m getting the same exam thing next month and I start prep the 14th.
I’m scared 😔
Emily Toth I think it depends on the person and if you have Gastroparesis ect but before my GI issues it was so where near as bad as it is now! Good luck ❤️
Amy's Life thank youuuu❤️
When I put it into CZcams, one of your videos come up first
Where's the latest blogs?
Was up Amy ✌️
Nice content today on two of your videos Amy and keep up the great work on your pictures on instagram and videos on instagram and youtube 👍👋👌🙏😀😊🍂................................
Cystik1 has cystic fibrosis
Chronically Jackie (I misspelled her name) has EDS and POTS and mito
Chronically Jacquie also has mast cell disease, gastroparesis.
Do u still go live on live.me
I was in the Hospital for 1week Bc i have chronic constipation and they gave me picoprep for 4 days! That thing is naaaasty and then my butt hurts
😂
Have you seen 5ft apart!!! SOOO GOOD
natalie rodriguez I wanna see it so bad
It doesn’t get released until the 28th here.
It works fast😱
oh sweetheart , when you dislocate your hips or wrists etc does it actually hurt like someone that doesnt have your problems ?? cos i can imagine it must be excruciating 😔 your so brave and an inspiration ❤️think your amazing sweetheart , ❤️
kitty knowles I don’t have EDS, at least not diagnosed, but I’m wondering. I do have fibromyalgia, hyper mobile joints, and gastroparesis. When my joints dislocate, it sort of depends on the joint and the circumstance. Sometimes it hurts, some times it’s just a minor discomfort, sometimes it’s purely annoying. Depends on how it came out, what it got stuck on, etc. Fingers and toes rarely hurt for me. Hips, shoulders, and ankles often hurt. Elbows and knees are excruciating. Idk if hers is the same, but that’s me.
"An you call your doc for an answer what to do with prep?
They put people through hell with that shit.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
💜💋
Fight My Friend!!!
So I have a question maybe too personal do you actually go to the bathroom or do you have colostomy bag?
Patricia Haycraft no colostomy
i'm sorry for you. it's rough stomach issues. hurts a lot :(
Notation square
Oh god. I’m looking at the prep you are doing and colonoscopy prep comes rushing back.
Sweetheart you look so Gorgeous in those red pants..God Bless.
Agreed she's a lovely little figure but seriously how cute are her little roundy glasses on her
Hey amy
At 8:25 was Thomas in his undies??
Maybe take laxatives as well Amy that might help x
How many dislocations would you have during the day, I feel for you I find that really painful. I love your channel. Any good book recommendations Amy?
Ivanna O'Sullivan I honestly don’t know! I loose count 😅😅
Why do you have two chanels? ❤️
Nellie Malm frelin one is main one is vlog she tends to do one main vid a week and most days on the vlog
I had my colonoscopy💩 and upper endoscopy🤮 done on March 19th. Tomorrow I have the Gastric Emptying Study😱 in the morning at the Hospital.🏨🖤 All this due to possible Gastroparesis.✌ #davesandersstepdaughter
You tube recently lost one of the chronic illness warriors jaquie :(
My condolences.. Im truly sorry for your loss
Reading this about a week and a half after finding out Amy has now passed. :(
Do you have to do all this for the rest of your life? If you decide to have children, would it be possible?
I am disabled but because i live in a Skilled nursing facility I cant have a youtube page.
...But your commenting from one now right? I'm just really confused.
@@phoenixmoon5580 yes but you can go there and see I have no videos at all because I cant put any resident or staff of this facility on camera and post it to my youtube channel.
@@lesliebow0217 Oh, the inability to put the residents/staff on the camera and/or the risk of that occurring. Are you able to find a 'private room'? Or maybe edit it out? You could just do videos that have no camera based stuff, but if you do stuff such as art or other things, can you take photos of it with the camera facing down? You don't go into what aspect of you is disabled, and what symptoms that 'disability' gives you. I have Chronic Conditions and would say that I am both ill and disabled. (Different people, different types!). The next question is: Do you identify as a 'spoonie'?
@@phoenixmoon5580I am bed ridden with a roommate so no.
worst prep ever never fun makes me feel horrible and my bowel disease doesn’t help good luck yes sick bags a must gastroperises no fun
You don’t look gross! 💜 Hope it goes well
Try PegLyte! It works within an hour!
Am I reading this right, this was published yesterday but only has 9 views?? Wut 0.o anyway... Hi Amy, love your videos, most people (my self included) have no clue how much having a chronic illness impacts people!! You're ways so bubbly and positive and I don't always watch your vids because notifications are hit and miss but good luck with your studies (last vid I watched you were applying or preparing to study) I love your Instagram and screw Dr Phil, you guys are cute and super epic and of course I don't know you personally but you guys seem very supportive of each other! Xx Nyssa from New Zealand (originally UK, like yourself, I actually thought you lived in the UK for like the first year or nearly that long I was watching your vids, my brain is a bit slow sometimes)
Edit: it says uploaded 16mins ago... And the discription says uploaded on the 18th, I just worked out CZcams just runs on American time and doesn't adapt to match the viewers location 🧐 I have been using this site since I was like 9 and now I'm nearly 23 😅 I'm a simpleton haha
Nyssa she posted it 20 minutes ago. Are you watching this after midnight? That’s probably why it says “yesterday”
@@Chronically.sarahdayton it just said posted on 18th but I'm in NZ so it's night time in the 19th, it's just time difference and me being blonde 😅
