I hope Kyle has his own support system. Being a caregiver is no joke. It's so stressful and can cause depression so I hope he has help.
This.
I lost a relationship in part due to being injured and the long term stress it put on my partner
I do hope he has support and help in caring for her
also you cannot show weakness because you are the pillar of strength.. its very tough.. and its great that kyle gets shown in this video..
The nuclear kyle or any kyle ?
I am just so, so grateful to Destin and Diana and Kyle for this video.
You forgot to sign it. But yes, this is a good reminder about how good people are out there.
My guess is John
@@nabil1030And Hank
Don’t forget Tara for encouraging Destin to go see Diana. It’s so healthy that these spouses can all be so supportive.
Don't forget me.
Diana i caught covid not long after finishing chemo, long story short i ended up in ICU and was placed in a coma for 3 months while a machine ran my heart, lungs and kidneys, i wasnt expected to make it on multiple occasions but eventually pulled through and was awakened from my coma. i lost all my muscles and had to learn to walk and everything again but i kept pushing and kept fighting and today im almost 100% again. Keep fighting and keep pushing!! You can do this!! We are rooting for you!!
Congratulations!
Wow Josh, that is a Lot to go through. It is really amazing that you survived all of that.
Glad to hear that you made it through! And I truly hope that your chemo was successful.
🙏🏽🙌🏽❤
God bless you and may you continue to recover. "I can do ALL things through CHRIST who strengthens me"😊❤🎉🎉🎉

My kids say "get well soon Physics Girl and they love your videos". Thank you for being a great example to my children.
lol
@@asadchoudhrya that's not funny
Hearing ''I have some good news'' in the first 2 seconds of the video after 9 months of no videos is truly a Christmas treat.
Agreed! I hope she is ok. I need to watch the full video first. We are all praying for her recovery 🧡
seriously felt some stress leave my shoulders after hearing it lmfao
So happy 😭
Amen!
No need for the "lmfao" though@@roobeedooo
Her plight really breaks my heart. She is one of my favorite CZcams Science Communicators. Her enthusiasm and intelligence inspires me. I really hope she beats this.
You don't "beat" CFS, you learn to live with it. And sometimes you have a good day.
@@kinpandun2464 This, as someone living with it for over 10 years now. You have good days and bad days and there is almost nothing that anyone can do about it. Often there is no external or easily identifiable reason for a day being good or bad. They have made some progress in understanding CFS but CFS is not just one thing so, for some they can help. Recently there have been studies that show that most people with CFS have high antibody count for one of a narrow band of lifetime viruses. In my case I constantly show like I am about to have a shingles outbreak, but I don't. This "but I don't" is common throughout those with high anitbody counts for specific viruses and CFS. We never exhibit symptoms. However we have very strange problem of muscle loss, cognitive failure, often a burning pain in the body/muscles (non-specific) that regular pain killers cannot mediate. I for one test as having a neurotransmitter level as though I've been awake for 50-72hours. Just that never goes away. I am in a constant state of function like someone who has been up for more than two days or three. Anyways, the viral marker, when people were treated with antiviral drugs and the counts dropped the CFS symptoms would go away.. but eventually would return and so too would the antibody count. They don't know why or what triggers it. But it's a start. In my case the treatment worked (took about 3 months to take effect) then about 7 months later, it just came back. So we can "manage" it, but it won't go away, probably never. It's pretty much stolen my life. When it acts up it takes 3 months to get better even on the medication, then I can be assured that something will trigger it again and it will return. It hangs like a shadow over those windows of normalcy.
@@kinpandun2464, it may not be curable but there ARE treatments that help. Please don’t be so negative.
I hope her good days get better and more common. When someone has CFS this severe, it’s all I dare hope for.
@kinpandun2464 exactly. I have it and fibromyalgia, diagnosed in 2022 but symptoms started in 2021. I was just forced back to work from my insurance and basically ended up in a flair. I knew it would happen because they didnt adhere to any of the pacing requests i made. I'm in so much pain right now and it makes me angry to know it didn't have to be like this. I'm on a leave again as of today.
I feel so much for Diana and I hope she can find her new normal. It sounds like her CFS is extreme right now. I really hope she feels the love around her from her community.
Please stay strong and get well soon. Thanks for everything!

Its not only the test for the person who is ill, true test is for the person’s loved ones.
Hats off for Kyle ❤️
That's completely and utterly not true.
It's a test for both.
@@MissKrisLovesThanks and rectified. God bless you. 🙏
I don’t care if she never makes another video. I want her to get better. I want her to be able to live a full life. If that includes content creation and continued education, I’ll be here for it. If it doesn’t, then I’ll thank her for everything she’s shared with us. She has touched and enriched so many more lives than she’ll ever understand.
Just remember the US gov made covid...
Absolutely!
Hopefully she gets better and hopefully this helps some people understand how gravely serious SARS-COV-2 really is and makes them think twice about letting themselves get infected!
N95+, ventilation, purification, and Novavax are the best tools we have (as well as CPC mouthwash, mouth & nose sprays, good nutrition, magnesium, zinc, and elderberry) but they only work if we actually use them to protect the health and freedoms of ourselves and those around us!
We have so much more knowledge than we did the last global pandemic - why not use it?
@@thomase13 lol, it's the jab
100% agree.
@@DuBstep115 Long covid more common in those with more severe cases of Covid; the unvaccinated. The empirical evidence is clear and incontrovertible.
Great to see Diana fighting the good fight with incredible support from such a deeply loving husband in Kyle, and such a caring friend in Destin! Get well soon!
Wonderfully generous, thank you for being so kind
Stop paying an already incredibly rich women to lay around
This is not the good fight. The good fight is spiritual, not physical. Get educated
@@johnnyarm3181 what is wrong with you
@johnnyarm3181 Shame on you
It's heartwarming to know " for better or worse through sickness and health" still means something . I'm 58 and not in the greatest of health myself and have seen first hand how some people just bail.These two will be just fine in the long run,I feel it in my bones!!!!!
Not only is it not a big deal that she can’t make videos for her Patreon, but I’m actually going to sign up for her Patreon right now in hopes that it makes the process of her getting back to good health the slightest bit easier. Did the same for Simone during her health struggles. We just want to see you all living your best healthiest lives. I wish I had seen this update sooner. Thanks for the update, Destin. Kyle, if you’re reading this, great work! Get well, Diana. We’re all rooting for you.
Its people like you we need more of.
I just did the same thing!! I don't need content! I’m in a space where I can help out another disabled creator and I am so happy to do so! @PhysicsGirl don’t stress! We're here to support, not for anything in return!
All those ill and poor people that don't have her fame 😥
@@eSKAone- Yes, it is sad, but it’s not a zero-sum game. Small gestures of kindness and giving what you can to someone in need, even if it’s just a lended ear, will hopefully become more of the norm.
She makes over 50k a month on just patreon she is going to be ok
I think Destin handled things incredibly well, from his concern for a friend, to his reassurance about patreon funds, and even respect for boundaries when asking to pray with her, something a lot of people might take for granted. This is a perfect example of how to treat people.
Agreed. He’s a class act.
I don't pray, but I understand why it's important for those who do. Thank you Destin.
that's destin, this man is class act thru and through, and so happy diana is surrounded by the very absolute best of people
@@dingaia Amen! Amen! Full heartedly agree!!! This video was incredibly encouraging! :D Diana, if you are reading this: Fear not! We just want you to get better!!! Your fans love you and you & your husband are AWESOME!
@@iambiggusindeed. Someone sincerely appealing to a higher power for you (not just the standard "thoughts and prayers" stuff) is something truly special
Kyle is a true Husband. To go from the joy of marriage with the constant heartbreak of care taking takes a man of honor.
In sickness, and in health....
For better or for worse. That's true love!
This is the first time that I see this channel, Dianna is so stronger more than other sis.. She is helping rn in another density in a largest war that I never seen but at light velocity they win..
!!! Light wins again... Till the end.. ¡Gracias!
I've had ME/CFS for 6 years now. It's a bizarre, lonely, ruthless illness. Having people in your life who embrace, understand (as much as it's possible to) and support you through it is THE most significant thing. I have always believed that despite my suffering and severe limitations, my parents (my incredible amazing wonderful number one supporters) have it SO much harder. Not only in the practical aspects of caregiving, but the emotional pain of watching someone you love be chained down and crushed by illness. I cannot bear to imagine. And so I express infinite gratitude to all the loving caregivers out there ❤️❤️❤️ You are absolute champions and you make ALL the difference. You make life a million times more worth living. But please never forget the first person you need to care for is you
Just curious, what are your symptoms? Google says a variety of things that seem quite random
That’s nice that you have a good support system, but to say that caregivers have it much worse than the patients themselves? I would have to strongly disagree. I have been ill since I was 14 and this illness has robbed me of everything - career, friendships, relationships, essentially everything there is to do in life. A decade of illness and it has only progressed because of the terrible advice medical professionals and people in general give (to just push yourself harder to “get well” and to exercise!) yeah my family doesn’t have to experience the pains of post exertional malaise nor do they have to sit in bed all day, practically paralyzed because if you do anything you’ll just get sicker
I don't know you, but I wish you well. I hope you find complete relief while you still have a strong support system and it brings you and your family joy.
I'm just a stranger, but I hope I can suggest you spend as much idle time as you can researching all sides of your condition, even outside the Western system. I used to be a nurse, I got out because I felt like there are too many gaps in knowledge with the US system of healthcare and sometimes researching all pathways to recovery can yield better results.
Also look up phage therapy. Idk if that is something that can help you. Phages are not a well understood field of study as it's mostly practiced in Eastern Europe. However when modern medicine doesn't work, phages can sometimes do the trick.
If you can research and figure it out, you may be able to help others like you.
Good luck
@@theairaccumulator7144Google is right. Everyone is a bit different and symptoms are all over the map.
ME/CFS is *so* incredibly difficult. Mine has been severe for 5 years and I was in the same shape as Dianna for 18 months, and I've been slowly improving. There is a light in the dark, and my heart goes out to them both. It is a wonderful friend who can understand the shattering this disease brings to our lives and approaches it with compassion rather than judgement.
People who haven’t experienced it just don’t know. My best friend is finally in remission from me/cfs after a virus she developed in 2019. I hope you experience rest and healing.
Have they looked for a link between ME/CFS and ammonia? Particularly crystalline ammonia stored in muscle tissue?
So glad you’re doing better ❤
@@tyroneemail tell em tyrone
@@tyroneemail I'm not sure about ammonia but there is possibly an issue with methylation of some compounds across the blood brain barrier. In some cases, active B12 (methylcobalamin) makes a difference. Also Griffith University in Queensland Australia have an active research program into ME/CFS.
Thank you for this update, Destin. We're with you in our minds and hearts, Dianna. And may every one find their Kyle in this world. Peace and strength to you all ♥
This is incredible.
Should have bought some bath water.
My faith in humanity just got a little bit better. ❤
Destin, I’m so sorry to hear this. I was diagnosed with Long Covid in May 2023 and had very similar symptoms. I was told by my neurologist it could take 2-3 years to feel “normal.” I was not ok with that. I was part of a long covid clinic and was told to try speech/cognitive therapy which helped me to live life in 15 minute increments and rest so I would not get to the point where I was pushing through physical symptoms. I ignored anyone who told me to do physical activity to prevent deconditioning because physical activity made things worse.
In July 2023 out of desperation I tried acupuncture. After two treatments I had a symptom free day (on which I did too much and then crashed for days). Since then I’ve steadily seen a reduction of my symptoms. I have gone twice weekly since I started in mid July. Just last week I graduated to once weekly.
At the end of January 2024 my neurologist (who is part of a long covid clinic at U Penn) said I am recovering the fastest of all patients who are part of their LC clinic.
The major downside is acupuncture is expensive and not covered by insurance because it’s not a known cure. However, I can attest to the fact that it has given me my life back.
I am writing this hoping you or Deanna might see this and maybe pursue acupuncture as an option. I had never had it before and did it out of desperation and it seems to have worked.
I have not been asked by any acupuncturist to promote their services. This is just me seeing someone suffering and hoping my experience might help.
I wish you all the best.
I’m an acupuncturist and I crush long covid. I’m glad you starting to feel better!
The ancient Chinese things sometimes work pretty well.
Congratulations it worked for you. Hope it works for Diana too.
Acupuncture works, I had crazy injury in my neck which all came from my arm, this only became obvious from my Acupuncturist and what he found and done.
Amazing... I was such a sceptic.
@@buckleysangel7019 😂
@@jzmskzm laugh all you want as I laugh on my way to the bank from people lined up all day long on the half hour and pay $75 a treatment for me to fix them of things such as that. Silly atomists, wisdom is for holists.
Love & blessings to Dianna, Kyle & all those caring for her!
Hang in there, Dianna. I believe Destin was right to say what he said, to you and to us. You always seemed like the kind of person who fosters such a community of people around you who would truly just want to see you get better, in a situation like this, and not expect anything else before that.🤘
How did you do that?
@@controversial_7 Do what? Send a super-thanks?
@@TehBurek yeah, half a million rands?
@@controversial_7 No... not sure what you're seeing, but what I donated is worth just under 10 US Dollars.
Diana, on this Winter Solstice, the longest, darkest night of the year, every day from now on will be brighter and sunnier, and I hope your recovery follows the same path. Get well soon.
“Hallmark” should híre you lol
Absolutely right! Her only job right now is to get better! With Kyle loving her is such a huge booster for her recovery. I am a cancer survivor. I was misdiagnosed one year before being diagnosed. By then the cancer had made it into my lymph nodes. I believe the love, kindness and support afforded me by my husband, daughter, family, friends and complete strangers was fundamental in my recovery. Sending love and prayers for Diana, Kyle and all her loved ones!
I am a nobody that just randomly stumbled on this video. I stayed and watched the whole video because of the genuine kindness and very meaningful message.
I will pray for Diana and trust Allah will bestow full recovery to her. You will make it Diana you are surrounded by people who love and need you.
This will just become another memory that you will tell your grandchildren whenever they need great example of courage and determination against challenges of life.
One day at a time. Dianna, Kyle, Destin, you're all the kind of people I'm glad to know.
That's very generous. Thank you for supporting them 😁👍
Good man
I was supported in my (wife's) time of need by people who did not know us. It is my privilege to continue to pay it forward in her honor. Rest, heal and know that you are loved.
Firstly, this is so, so kind of you. I'm glad that some altruism can also provide some personal comfort. Second, for anyone else considering donating, I want to echo the sentiment of another user (@green4black) to point out that a higher percentage of your contribution will help Dianna if you donate on GoFundMe or Patreon. This is nothing personal against Google, but their cut is substantially higher (30%). It's a different platform for a different purpose, so it aligns its margins closer to Twitch. GoFundMe takes a 2.9% cut and Patreon takes a 5% cut. Just an FYI!
(One last note: for charitable fundraisers on CZcams, Google does not take a cut at all. However, donating on this video will not be counted as a charitable donation.)
Thank you for the good update.
Im glad she is surrounded by so much love. Walk in peace and grace...prayers surround you both.
Wishing you a soon, sudden and fast recovery! In the meanwhile, keep on fighting. I am rooting for you two.
Thanks a lot for the update Destin. It is great that Dianna is in Kyle's caring hands. I wish them strength and health, and I hope Dianna will be healthy very soon. We are all here to welcome her back.
You are my spirit animal! 😁
Wow its him the legend himself! :O
Thanks Mehdi.
I'm not familiar with Diana or Kyle but am a big Destin fan. I've been in Kyle's position and can tell he is a good man. Diana chose wisely (and vice versa)!
This is a scam. Name one other Covid case this extreme and long lasting.
Patreon isn’t for donations either - should be a red flag.
So happy to hear you're getting better. You owe us nothing Dianna, but we would like to help make things easier for you and Kyle. Little by little, your energy will return, the clouds of brain fog will part and you'll feel closer and closer to your old self. Big hugs xxx
Ooof you should have donated this through patreon , CZcams is gonna eat most of that $500 . I think they take 60-70% just because they're greedy pricks at YT
You know I never recommend this but steroids might help her they helped me with long Covid.
I don't mean to downplay your donation but I would highly encourage everyone to use her Patreon for donation instead of CZcams Thanks.
CZcams takes a much bigger cut from the Thanks than a Patreon sponsor.
If I am not wrong CZcams takes a 30% cut and Patreon takes 5%. This means with Patreon more of your donation actually reach her.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong and I'll happily delete this comment.
@@wlockuz4467rightfully so if it wasn’t for CZcams we wouldn’t know Dianna
Nor of the patreom, some times you have to charge it to the game.
Thank you for the update. Diana’s journey sounds like she heading in the right direction. I
’ve had CFS/ME for years but can now do more than most people who don’t even have it, so long as I pace myself. The first two years seemed to be the least productive, with the crashes, but slowly with walks of 5m then, 10m then, then 100m and so on, I’ve found the old me again. Brain fog is hard to deal with but I really believe relieving yourself of unnecessary guilt (after all you didn’t choose your health so there no need to feel you let anyone down) is important.
Her partner sounds like an angel. I was let down and left to get on with it, accused of faking it by my partner (yes, unbelievable, but this was 30 years ago when people didn’t know much, I hope we’re all more educated now).
I do wonder on the merits of gut health and wish I’d tried something in that direction back then, but you clutch at every straw and results are never instant so it’s hard to measure.
Anyway, I’m following Dianna’s journey and willing her better. I think about her often and check for information when it becomes available.
Thank you for taking the time & attention, along with your love & support of Diana & Kyle. Sending love & healing thoughts 🙏❤️
Difficult to understand how a young and energetic person can suddenly fall ill...prayers for her speedy recovery 🙏 🙏🙏
Stay strong. You got this. Wishing for a better 2024 for you both.
Kind and generous.
You are amazing
This made me cry. The generosity here gives me hope, thank you.
Huge respect brother 🫂

I'm a retired doctor and my grandmother, a nurse, once told me 'While there is life there is hope'. I used that phrase a lot in my career. So pleased Diana is making progress.
I know Destin’s channel and been following him but never knew physics girl. I hope she gets better as soon as possible. All the best to you both
What a truly touching and heartwarming video. I miss her content. I wish her speedy recovery and a marvelous comeback!
Dianna, keep up the spirit! You’ll beat this. Just remember it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Kyle, she is lucky to have you. Oh… and you’re lucky to have her! Destin… Thank you. ❤
You are amazing
wow that's amazing
Wonderful gift. WOW.
Good job
Thank you for giving so much! I love this community so much
As someone who recently came out of being bedridden for nearly 5 years, I hope that Dianna can come out of this as soon as she is able, and that we all look forward to the day she is better, and we can see her smiling face in a new video of hers. But I truly hope she doesn't feel pressure to do that before she is ready and better. I hope that everyone who can, continues to support her until that happy day comes in the future.
I am very happy for your path to recovery. I hope your 2024 is full of lots and lots of walks outdoors :)
Way to go Plankton! I wish you and yours good health, a merry Christmas and the best 2024 you can have😊
I don't know Dianna, but I have watched you for years. Your witness is inspiring and I am supporting Dianna because you support her. Thank you for being the kind of man and friend I can feel this confidence in.
Destin, I am deeply grateful that Dianna has you as her friend. Thank you for your heart, and your testimony, bro.
I can't imagine 3 better people and I'm humbled by Destins humanity in helping and praying with her. Glad to help and Diana you mean so much to us science nerds
Thank you so much
The part where she needed to take a break from talking...man, you don't know how real that is unless you've been there. I went through a period of nearly 15 years of excruciating pain. I lost everything and my parents were caring for me. There wasn't a single thing I could do by myself, yet my body and my mind were working in overdrive harder than they ever had. My parents were my biggest blessing and they showed me an example of true love that I could have never envisioned. Eventually, I got better and at the age of 40, I went back to college to get my Mechanical Engineering degree. Yesterday, I found out that I was accepted into the Upper Division and in two more years, I will have my bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering. Hang in there Diana, take the first downs when you can and keep driving. And for Kyle, what a true warrior. He's going through it too and needs as much support. Let's help this wonderful couple out so they can focus on what they need to do.
Was there any specific treatments that you can look back and identify that helped turn the tide? I've got a similar story to you / Dianna (ME/CFS). Looking for anyway to get out of this rut.
15 years of pain? My guy what tf did you have
I tore my left sacroilliac joint when I was a firefighter. It's one of the two joints that connects your spine to your pelvis. If you follow your spine down to your belt line, they are about 1" on either side. It was excrucitating. All I could do is lay in bed because sitting, standing and walking was so painful. I had surgery a few times but in the end what fixed it was a simple nerve ablation that my doc didn't think would work. From the time I went into the hospital until the time I was back in the parking lot leaving was under 30 minutes, and 3 weeks later I went backpacking by myself. That was the summer I turned 40, so once realized I was actually okay, I decided to do a mile for every year old I was to get my confidence back and to do something for myself. Of the 42.5 miles I ended up doing, 31 of them were all by myself. I went back to college 7 months after that procedure and now we are here, almost 2 years from the day that I started back. I just realized something ironic that relates to Diana....the first class I had once I was back was good ol' college physics. Now I'm a tutor for that class. Wow. This is bringing back some memories and emotions for me right now! I sure hope we see Diana make a similar recovery and that it doesn't take 13 years like it did for me. @@danielkelsosmith
Yes. I had a torn sacroilliac joint and after multiple surgeries, dozens of doctors and other horrible experiences that I won't get into, a simple nerve ablation that took less than 5 minutes for the doctor to do was what fixed me. @@gurkdoinwork
@@allengeringer574 god damn. That’s insanity. Glad you’re okay now!
God bless her & Kyle. Truckloads of well wishes & SUPER positive vibes headed for both. And, thank you, Destin! Blessings to you, as well!

Have never watched Physics Girl but I am a die hard SmarterEveryDay fan, so I am now a Physics Girl Patreon supporter, get well soon! A friend of Destin is a friend of mine
agreed,
I love her you could definitely binge her vids shes awesome!
Legend ❤
Awww. Lovely message. ❤
This made me tear up
Dianna, I started giving to you on Patreon when I heard of your illness. Whether you ever make another video doesn't matter to me. Don't worry. Just get better. ♥
You are so greatly generous and a shining example of what makes humanity good
Same here - I started supporting on Patreon in response to hearing that she was sick, because I knew that income would be down and expenses would be up. Prior to that I was just a subscriber and fan.
Thank you very much for this
Props to you for donating and contributing so much!! As a side note, you may want to directly donate rather than through CZcams as they take a decent cut of the donations through the platform I believe. I could be wrong, but just wanted to make sure as much support as possible gets to Diana!!
Same!
I watched Physics Girl videos for a quite a while before hearing she was ill. I am so sorry she is having such difficulties. Whenever I saw one of her videos, it just made me smile. Her enthusiasm and happiness at presenting physics topics to the public in a understandable way was a marvel to behold. I just made my eyes light up!
Dearest Dianna, I wish with all my heart that you get better. You have brought so much enjoyment to me and to all your viewers. What a wonderful person you are.
I had long Covid myself from the first wave that came over in 2020 and many of the symptoms that Dianna is experiencing, including CFS. I didn't start feeling healthy again until about the summer of 2023. I know it's a nightmare and you're fighting a good fight. Stay positive my friend, this too shall pass!
Brought a tear to my eye to see the plans kyle made. For some reason seeing a engineer making such a methodical plan to save his woman is an incredibly raw show of love
It makes it so real! Hard love.
This! SO many of us keep checking in hoping for the best!
Right, and not only is he just feeding her, he has her on a super labor intensive diet of very specific foods. He's probably done hundreds of hours of research and talked to several professionals to formulate the plan. So all that on top of general caretaking is amazing.
Diana’s plight helps exposes a quiet and too ignored symptom of Covid. I hope they can figure out what is blocking her from getting enough energy to get back to physicing
There must be more awareness about long covid.
BC 007 trials will be very interesting
Any adverse effects from Covid or the vaccines will likely never get the the proper funding for medical research because of its political nature. This was a man-made virus design to do exactly what it did and we were all just lab rats suffering from the experiment that we continue to fund through our taxes
@@Canleaf08And more awareness of COVID. Many have decided it never, or at least, no longer exists. How many suffer as Dianna does, but we never hear about them?
@@DonoVideoProductions sweden has a 17% LC rate. With a huge underrated detection there are more than 2.5M long hauler in both UK and France. The first rate of 5% of a population is now obsolete due to high recontamination rate (so much for infection immunity promoted by those assholes from GBD). With some recontamination in less than a month (3 weeks for the shortest, 3 to 4 months on average) some people had covid TEN TIMES and each time is playing russian roulette with long covid, each time the virus damage internal organs and immune system.
And minimizers keeps yelling "covid is just a cold now! Don't worry! you don't need mask, no isolation or sick leave!" Yeah, sure a cold that can put someone down for YEARS even if the infection was asymptomatic. And worst of that, is that they spread the virus to people who end like me with my heart now damaged and my brain have some memory issues and chronic fatigue, like Dianna or those kids now unable to walk. This, this infuriates me! Selfishness and neglectfulness are key today.
Thank you SO much for this update. I have never been to Patreon, but this makes me want to use it for the first time to support her. ❤ both of them.
This is only the third video I have watched from her channel, and I want to thank YOU for brightening her day, her husband for his unending support and care, and the rest of all you followers for giving her love, understanding and support from afar.
I am lucky in the way that I don't have any friends or relatives suffering from this. My own experiences with covid were a couple of weeks with a cold, but because of my covid-shots, they never turned uglier than that, with only a lesser sense of smell and somevtastebuds apparently still sleeping being the downside.
Get well soon, Diana! ❤ from Sweden!
Have been a patron for years - the first video I watched of Dianna was the vortex video in the pool (with my middle school teen; who's now off at college). Here's a holiday gift to be used for whatever brings joy.🍥
That’s the same vid I found her with when doing vortex research in college! I’ve been a fan since and truly wish her good health and recovery.
I had ME/CFS after covid. It hit 10 months post illness out of nowhere. I was terrified, confused, lost. Couldnt walk or stand, or talk. It was the worst thing that ever happened to me. Doctors couldnt help me and said it was anxiety. It wasnt. I went digging, found out REST, strict BED REST, was the only way to heal with brain retraining also. I did both and healed in 5months. It was so hard. But im back to normal 2 years later. I would have never made it without my husband. He took total care of me. ❤
Hi, I had the same issue during my University days. Sleeping for most of the day, food and very mild exercise healed me completely. I literally went on a sleeping festival for 3 months.
May Allah (S.W.T.) guide you and bestow upon you His Blessings; Ameen.
What makes you believe it was not anxiety?
I can’t help but be skeptical, respectively, only because the trigger almost always seems to be the caretaker. Usually around the time they get married.
@@FernandoChaves Anxiety is not relieved by avoidance behaviour, it will get significantly worse.
Unfortunately, I had never watched her videos, but one of the shorts I watched and reading the comments got me intrigued and I went on to watch the videos and it is Heartbreaking to see her in such a condition. I hope I get to see more of her videos in the future. Wishing her a speedy recovery. Prayers for her and her husband ❤
You have a heart of gold Destin, thanks for sharing this story, wishing all the best for Diana and Kyle.
Best wishes for a full and rapid recovery.
Thank you for this, you’re a good human
you can absolutely tell when someone is a determined, but extremely exhausted, caregiver. the mix of physical fatigue from exertion or losing sleep from worry/pain, and the mental fatigue of being so worried for the person you are caring for. being a caregiver is an incredible act of love and compassion. what an incredible caregiver Kyle is. the organization he puts into his care is amazing.
This video touches my heart.
I was bound to my bed for four months last year and not one of my friends visited to check in on me. The only people who were worried about me and and came for a visit were friends of my parents who knew about my situation.
I was so stuck in my situation, I wished so much to have someone who I could at least talk to and share my thoughts with regularly. It's such a comfort to know there are friends and caregivers out there who see that.
A true example of what real frineds are for ! Praying for Dianna's early and complete recovery ! Thank you Destin, for being there for your dear friend ! Hope to soon see her back with her great videos !
Keep getting better Dianna!!! ❤
@@Sm0lm0lsame and same.
I know "it's the thought that counts" but as someone else who would help, who would love to but can't this is the best case scenario. I hope myself and others will eventually be able to give back not just to Diana but to anyone.
@@Sm0lm0l Haven't always been in a place to help out. I'm at a point now in my life where I can. I've been the recipient of kindness in the past, now it's time for me to return those kindnesses.
Thank you for this, I really wish I could help.
I’m so glad Diana is doing better, she is an amazing person and will continue to inspirational us for years to come.
Is it possible that Kyle is poisoning her to keep her in a debilitated state from which she cannot escape? How much can we really trust this Kyle character?
@@benjamindover4337why so toxic? This is not the place for humour like this... Or you don't entirely understand the situation.
@@RasjanSerI'm concerned about Diane. All this started the day she got married. I'm not convinced that is a coincidence.
@@benjamindover4337Go to another place and make fun there instead. Thanks...
That kind of disrespect for the current situation are wild 😏.
Is she really doing better? i did not hear that, unfortunately.
Thanks for sharing, Destin - I can feel your sisterly love for Dianna. I’m so glad you could visit her, give her sound advice, and do what you can to support her.
I love what you do on your channel, and I’m more impressed by you as a human being the more I find out about you. May the Lord Bless you and keep you.
I hope she gets better. Prayers for her and Kyle. Thank you for the update
My prayers are with you Diana. Hope you feel better soon. God bless you.
You're a christmas legend!
As a disabled person, this means a tremendous amount. That level of kindness and support is admirable.
I was just scrolling through CZcams looking for something new and came across the Ligo video then the nuclear sub vid, great stories ! So i decided I'll subscribe and see some more. Well I started to see health update titles and clicked on this one. my heart sank hearing this. You are so right Destin it's not about making more content, it's about putting all your mental and physical strength you can muster in to healing. I will do what I can to support Dianna's channel and share this video as well as her previous content in hopes that people will be moved to help as well. Push on Dianna and Kyle I'm looking forward to seeing you in new Physics Girl videos. ❤❤❤
Thank you for the encouraging news. I am so glad she has good people around her she is a wonderful person who makes learning fun. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
In the dark midst of dealing with your health struggles, know that you remain inspirational.
Thank you. We love you and care for everyone. Peace and love to all.
👍
There really are some good people out there still. I was beginning to doubt that. Thank you.❤
@@MeganVictoriaKearns Never lose faith that there is still good in this world.
Thank you for the warm update Dustin, i hope Diana gets better real soon and the Hubby is a keeper!
Kyle's courage and strength are perfect.
Dianna is doing everything she knows to get better.
Together, if anyone can recover from this, they can. Together.
I am rewatching all the Physics Girl content.
I will continue to watch until there's is more to be seen!
Get well Diana, LC takes a long toll, so happy to see you smile, well fed and fighting!
I love that there are familiar faces surrounding Diana. Thanks for the update, Destin. I didn't expect the immense joy I'm feeling after seeing you three smiling together like that. Keep it up, Diana!
I only signed up to Patreon to help... and this is the only channel I support on Patreon. So yes, Destin, you definitely spoke on my behalf... Thank you... 🙏🏻
Thankyou for the update ❤ My best wishes to all involved and especially to Diana.
Much love, from Perth Western Australia. ❤
I really hope Dianna gets better soon, and that Kyle and her have a good support system at home.
Thank you and Kyle for your strength through these challenging times. Wishing you both the very best in 2024.
lovely gesture! I thank you, and I'll bet DC does too!
You didn't just help Dianna by being so generous, you've also helped people like me who were afraid there isn't much kindness remaining in this world. Thank you.❤
@@MeganVictoriaKearns when you see genuine love like this, it's hard to not want to join in. Even if it's just helping out in their time of need ❤🩹
Very generous of you, Olcans. Such a great cause. I'm sure Dianna and Kyle are truly touched by your care for her. Hoping for great things to come for her, but also to you.
Cheers
Do you have an uncensored version of Bard that could help solve her sickness without triggering a bunch of controversial warnings?
Sending you all the positive vibrations for a full recovery, as soon as possible 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you! I love to see people like you with a great heart and love to friends beyond words. You help restore humanity to our new level of being human. Thank you Destin and Kyle. From the bottom of my heart 🎉
Being an engineer myself, seeing the checklists and how Kyle is helping Dianna in a methodical way made me tear up a little bit
Same here, really makes you think
Such a loving husband. That is a ride or die relationship.
It’s one of those details that really helps put you in his shoes-doing things you would be doing if it was your loved one. I think that’s why it pulled MY heart strings anyway.
Destin is also an engineer, so no doubt they got along at least purely on that!
Take care Physics girl. Sending all the prayers and positivity
Thanks Destin! I appreciate the encouraging update. ❤
It was a year before I had strength to do anything, so much has been learned since! Bless both Diana & Kyle & Destin too for sharing this! Long covid is real! It slowly gradually gets better not sure how much yet- Please don't give up! You inspire me & no doubt so many others!
Get well soon Dianna, and massive props to Kyle for being a genuine good bloke and of course thanks for the update Dustin 🥰
Destin is one of the very few “internet people” I trust implicitly. One can tell in his eyes that this is not fun, but the hope is real. Diana deserves all the help we can give her!
Destin is funded by US military, why would army want a CZcamsr on payroll? Disinformation.
E
@@EEEEEEEEYes, E, exactly. Thank you meme from 2018
What an amazing thing you did, bless you for being willing to share. Lifting up prayers.
Thank you so much for this update Destin, I have been regularly looking for a hopeful update.
Speedy recovery teacher.
For Kyle: She is very lucky to have someone like you. If my sons & nephews are half the man you are, I would be very proud of them.
Agreed. I feel the same.
Agreed 💯
sadly full recovery is not really possible with cfs/me. what we can hope for is some good days, sometimes. but maybe because of long covid and the surge in cases we can hope for a breakthrough in research. it is a really difficult situation.
This
I didn't know what that salad of letters meant. It breaks my heart to hear that. 💔
You're absolutely right. I just want Dianna and Kyle to have some better income while she gets better. Thank you for setting her mind at ease.
My overall impression, and a very strong message from somewhere:
Dianna is going to get better. It is very clear.
She is doing the right things and has so much
love and support coming in.
Live long and prosper!
thank you for your offer and your wifes support. it wonderful for Kyle, Diana, her papa and her family and friends
Thank you for doing this. I am disabled myself, yet I do the home care for my MIL when I am not dealing with my medical issues. It is awesome to be seen and recognised. Get better.!🎉❤😊
This is exactly what I signed up for…
I didn’t even use Patreon until I heard Diana was sick. Its not about the videos I only started using it to help out such an amazing person. I will continue to help out as long as I can and I know I’m not the only one.
We need a system that will support everyone in situations like these, which doesn't require the patient to be a youtuber with some following and to rely on the generosity of others.
@@NXDL25 (it's called universal healthcare)
@@NXDL25yes, you do
I am from the Netherlands and disabled. While the system here isn't perfect, the social security does provide me with an income that covers my expenses (including health insurance that covers almost all of my care), and a wheelchair and handbike provided by the city
While I would much rather be able to help others instead of needing help myself, I am very happy all of this is available for me and I wish that for all of you too. I can't imagine living in a place where one mishap or illness can just completely ruin you financially. When you aren't well, you really have enough to worry about without having to worry about going bankrupt. Being that close to financial ruin all the time seems incredibly stressful to me
@@christafranken9170as a Dutchy that's in te same boat I totally agree.
@@NXDL25That would be a mandatory health insurance for everybody, if the US public could be convinced that this is not an instrument of governmental control over them and a little solidarity can be a good thing. Maybe the US government could take a look at some contries in the EU, where a few variants of such systems are in place. Most of them are reasonably good and are worth a closer look. Maybe not the British one, but even that is much better than nothing.
I just found Dianna and I was impressed by how excited she was to learn and talk about what she knows and share it with the world. Was very sad to see that she is so sick and praying that she recovers from this illness. Makes a 110% recovery with everything she has learned. Take care of yourself. Love to you and your family. God bless you ❤
Thank you for the update! Sending so much love to them both.
I've had ME/CFS for 13 years and I cannot overstate how wonderful it feels to know that there are people thinking about you and visiting is even better. You will have made a great difference, I'm sure.
What do you mean had? You can have episodes that are basically flare ups but it doesn't go away
@@101spacemonkey "I've had" implies that it's still ongoing. "I had" would be closer to what you're thinking.
Man that sounds awful, you're such a strong person that you've been fighting this battle for so long. I wish you all the best and the greatest of health.
I don't know much about ME/CFS. Have you recovered from it?
@@101spacemonkeythere are a lot of people recovering all over the world from ME/CFS! Also from long covid, so please be aware that you don’t take away someone’s hope.
I’m a long time fan of Dianna and her content. I love science and I think Dianna is one of the most important people out there, when it comes to showing people how this universe is interesting in an easy and fun way.
Ever since this challenge started, she has always been on my mind, as I’m always following the updates.
We’re rooting for you Dianna. As Destin said, your job right now is to get better, and despite this journey being as complicated as it is, I’m really confident you’ll be able to do so. It may not be easy, it may not be fast, but keep fighting. You can do this.
To Kyle and all her support network, I can’t express my admiration and gratitude for every single ounce of love and sacrifice you guys are pouring to help her. It’s really impressive and inspiring to see everything Destin shared, you guys are some strong and amazing folks. Thank you. Really.
I really do hope you get better soon, but know that we’re here for you to do so, in your own time, with no pressure whatsoever. We’ll always be here for you.
Sending all the love from Brazil! You guys rock! ❤❤❤
Thanks, Destin for following your heart on this mission. You made my heart heavy and have brought a tear to my eye over my wake up coffee.
Thank you for saying a prayer for Dianna, Even though I wasn't there, my spirit agrees with everything you said and may the He carry it and lay it at the Fathers feet.
God Bless you Dianna.
Tq man. I was only able to be back & forth to check Diana here in her channel. And today I found this & thanks for this updates. You are a good man Destin, a destiny at his best for Diana & Kyle. And last but not least, lets be smarter everyday…. And healthier.
