Wow. Glad to see that you're back in action on RUclips. Keep your man close! He sounds like a good one! --- I myself have an abundant of health issues and most men won't commit to the challenges that is my daily life.😢 Autoimmune disorders are very real and it kicks my butt most days. Men can be shallow without even realizing it, even if they don't mean to be.
Just wanted to say thank you. For your vulnerability, for your honesty, for your dedication. And by that I mean your dedication to advocating for yourself. You’ve taught me lessons that I think many of us needed. So above all else, thank you.
Agreed agreed. Ain't Gunna lie I've thought of (you) Taylor a few times while she's been gone (I don't think about many if any youtubers.) but I don't at all want her to push it to come back!!! 💜 💜 💜
I am a French Canadian living in Montreal (Québec), it is so sweet of you learning French for your boyfriend (and family), so respectful. Being the only province in Canada speaking French I am sure they will be so proud of you (our language is very important for us). I will be praying for you, for your health. Bon courage, je suis très fière de toi!
@@joseetownsend3692 I know 😊 I should have say: Quebec first language is French and the other provinces is English. I did not want to hurt anybody or say something not true. I was just so proud of Taylor learning French. Sans rancune j’espère!
Im a nurse in an orthopedic surgeons office...we do PRP and you are exactly right, It is an inflammatory process, however, we have SOOO many patients get amazing results with it. Idk what your surgeon will say, but at our office we have patience stop all anti inflammatory medications before, during, and after PRP, as to not interfere with the bodys natural process. (Not sure, what medications you're on or if that would even be an issue for you) Also, vit d can help in the healing process after orthopedic surgery. Good luck and hope you find some relief.
Older viewer here. I'm relieved to hear you speak so positively about your health journey and I'm going to pray about the pain you've been experiencing. My gut is telling me that you'll come out of this season so much stronger and healthy. Mama hugs coming ur way!❤
Not me tearing up over you talking about potential future kids! Obviously support it WHEN YOU’RE READY, but I’m just genuinely happy that you’ve found someone you love enough to consider these kinds of future plans. It just makes me so happy for you ❤
Gahhhh....I read your comment before getting to that part and burst into tears.😭 I'm always emotional during my cycle 😂😂😂 Now I'm prepared for hearing her say it...I 🤔 😅
You have inspired me to take up French again! My family is French/Romanian, and it’s always been hard for me to learn. Also I’m a fellow Jew from San Diego that deals with EDS symptoms! Thank you for being so open! It feels nice being able to relate to someone
I have EDS and am struggling badly with cervical instability. I would love to know what surgeon you saw. My sister has her entire spine fused and it is so hard to find a competent and compassionate surgeon. I’m so glad you had a positive experience 🙏🏻❤️
Taylor! As a French Canadian living in the United States, hearing that you are learning French because "it's a respect thing" is so refreshing! Let me just tell you this one thing. We Québécois LOVE, LOVE, LOVE when someone takes the time to say something in French. Doesn't matter if you only say "je veux une poutine s'il vous plaît", your efforts will go a long way. Now, if you are close to the border of Ontario aka the Outaouais region (where I'm originally from), then you will find more times than not that someone will answer you back in English. Don't despair and just tell them you want to practice your French. They will love you forever and even throw in a few extra Sephora samples! Enjoy Québec! It's a beautiful province with beautiful people and Christmas is so magical up there! Want to dazzle your new family? Listen to some traditional music. Gilles Vigneault, Félix Leclerc, Jean-Pierre Ferland, Robert Charlebois. I love Harmonium and Beau Dommage. That is music from my younger days.
As a French (born and raised in France) American living in the US, I found Quebec a gorgeous city and Quebecois extremely kind people always ready to help.
I’ve had Prolotherapy for sever “tennis elbow” and the first couple of rounds didn’t seem to help but the 3rd and 4th worked tremendously. Steroid injections would eventually wear off but after the Prolotherapy it has yet to come back, going on 2 years. My advice, be patient, it seems to take a few rounds to feel relief. I’ve also suffered with chronic daily migraine in my 30’s for a 10-12 year span (Sumatriptan saved my life). I was eventually treated with antibiotics (suspected chronic Lyme) and my headaches, body and neck stiffness FINALLY dissipated. I’m rooting for you! I hope this is your FINALLY!
Those “details” you say no one wants to hear are all things we usually take for granted. As someone with chronic sciatic pain, I completely understand… Ozone therapy treatment saved my life! Glad to see you’re back!!! Happy healing🖤
Wow girl, you have been through a LOT, especially in the last months. Your great attitude and willingness to share your experience with us is refreshing. I’m glad you are healing well. Love your channel and helpful content. You are a beautiful soul ❤
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Life just stopped for me because YOUR notification just popped up. WELCOME BACK, you've been SO MISSED!!🖤🖤🖤 PS My husband had that same type of surgery, using the plate and screws, almost 20 years ago. His surgery was a huge success story, as he has very little back pain. And, he has never had pain from the hardware (some people need to have it removed after several years.) I wanted to encourage you that there are success stories out there!!!🥳🥳🥳
I was in an accident in 2011. I have herniated discs in back and in my entire neck. I too suffer from horrible pain and migraines. I’ve been on pain medication. I’m so afraid getting neck surgery. It’s so scary. I’m afraid I will end up even worse. I’m so glad you healing and getting better. You were brave going through 2 neck surgeries.
Taylor this will be the beginning of a life of joy. I had a horrible hip that had two surgeries that made me almost worse and then after not being able to walk any longer I finally got the third surgery years later and after a long painful recovery I am a new person. My heart and prayers are with you. Stay positive and patient. Xo
When I was 21, I was in a bad car accident that left me a paraplegic and I had a hole in my throat from when I had a breathing tube. And I wasn't able to swallow thin liquids. So I had to be on thicken fluid. Being a CNA, I knew all about that stuff. It was awful, and my mother was a saint too!! She was with me every day, and she'd thicken any and every type of drink to find something that actually tasted good. Nothing ever did. But I totally get your whole experience! I had a spinal fusion in my T6-T7 vertebrae, and I wore a turtle shell for a while to try and keep my spine strait. That didn't do anything for me, so I had to go back and have supporting rods placed on either side of my spine. Having a great hospital stay and nursing staff literally makes all the difference!! I ended up meeting my husband while I was at rehab. He was a CNA and every time he'd go by my room and I had people in my room I'd always say jokingly there goes my bf. It's so funny to think about now that we've been together 14 years and got married this year our anniversary is 2/2 for our 14th, and we got married 2/4/24. I've never been happier in my life!! Even though everyday is a constant battle and struggle I really wouldn't change it for anything!! I hope y0u feel better soon and that you heal fast!!! ♡♡♡
My hubby and I got married on 2/2/02, and I never see anyone have that date so I had to say something lol! Congrats on ur marriage, and finding ur forever after! 🎉❤️🎉
Your story somehow resonated with me and touched me. The hope that can be conveyed in a story of hope is so inspiring bc people go through different struggles and knowing that people get to the other side is so valuable to know. Just stick in there type of message because you never know what life will have around the corner……….Thank you for story of experience. ✌️
I read a lot of the comments on your videos. You have a lot of supportive subscribers. Take it slow do what you can. Your subscribers will understand and support you.
My mom’s neck is all plates and screws after failed cadaver discs. She hated her scar and the feeling. It took me years to get her to be okay not wearing a scarf and in her defense her scar is intense. I’m so happy I stayed and slept in the hospital for her recovery because there were so many horrors that could’ve happened had I not caught the mistakes before they made them. Unfortunately she has to sleep upright in a chair or the pain, swelling, and choking are too intense from laying down. Then someone hit her in a car collision and we have been at a loss. She can’t drive or function without dizziness, basically nothing feels right. I really wish she had a different doctor for many of her neck surgeries and I pray so intensely that we can find a way to get her any sense of normalcy and happiness. I’m scared but you finding a great doctor gives me hope. I know you probably don’t want to say but may I ask who your doctor is that did the surgery?
OMG, YES!! Came for the update, stayed to watch every single second even during the busiest part of my day to let her know she matters. Keep going Taylor, this is going to be good! Hugs from California.
YES! I’ve had 7 rounds (70-100 injections each time) of prolotherapy in my occiput / C1 -C7 and a couple cute times in T1-T2. Absolutely changed my life. I had extreme cervical distructure, intracranial hypertension, vagus nerve damage, the works - and was pretty much bed-bound. At about round 2-3 I started to notice a difference, and improved more each time. Days in bed are really rare now... unless I want to be there, heh heh. Happy to chat about any part of it. I've always felt endeared to you as a chronically chill neck girly. I highly recommend Dr. Hauser at Caring Medical. Most other doctors do just one injection, but he drenches the area to optimize efficacy. Plus, his whole staff is uncommonly kind. So pumped for your healing journey! Hope is huge. Thanks for taking us along.
You are a warrior. I just finished 2 weeks on soft foods and I didn’t realize what a challenge is it. Messed with my head and stomach and you had to heal from surgery on top of that. Sending positive thoughts your way as you continue on your healing journey.
HOLT SHITZIES, you're back! I'm so glad you're able to have the mindset you do, knowing that lack of immediate progress doesn't mean NO progress, it just means you need time for your body to heal. Go at whatever pace makes you feel best, you know your body and you've learned how to listen to it. I'm having a hysterectomy in about a month, so I'm looking forward to having a video or two while I'm the one recovering. 😊 I'm also SO excited for you with regards to your relationship! I've been here almost 10 years, and I can tell a difference with this one. That's so cool you're learning French! You seem incredibly happy, and you deserve ALL the good things. 💜
You have so much motivation and drive. If I was in your position, I would have given up a long time ago. I think it's inspiring. I don't have physical problems like you do but a lot of mental ones instead. Videos like this one push me to do even my basic things instead of just rotting.
I was a linguist in the military. Surround yourself with the language, even if you don't understand it, have it on in the background whether it is music, tv shows or a podcast.
Finally catching up on your recent videos. So happy to hear you're doing well all things considered! Hang in there; you got this! Healing is #1 priority. Merry Christmas! xoxo
With thyroidectomy i was told to use scar away gel and scar massage, twice a day. And using sun screen to give the best scar appearance and I feel it has helped. I used the gel about 9 months. It helped with hydration and reduced raised appearance and itching of the scar.
Taylor, hi… been watching your content for years & I too struggle with EDS. I’ve had too many surgeries to count. I have tried PRP for my shoulder and elbow joints and I did have success with it. But because we have chronic issues … I pretty much struggle with all my joints at this point. PT is so important and staying toned. That’s the best thing we can do for our body. Life long PT patient .. and just watching you talk about how you could do certain things again is something to celebrate! I just wanted to say, you seem or show you’re strong. You have gone thru so much with your health, and I get it. Watching you talk I’ve been there. The small achievements mean so much. Praying for you and your recovery.
I really feel for you. My partner has EDS, and he didn’t find out until about 2 years ago. He works in healthcare, and has his whole life, so he’s never had decent health insurance, because healthcare workers don’t usually even get the offer (which is crazy, but that’s a whole other topic). When we got together, because my insurance allows domestic partners, I was able to get him on my really good insurance, through the health insurance company I work for. He has had two complete shoulder reconstruction surgeries, one last year, and one this year. The hardest part for us, is trying to find him doctors that KNOW and UNDERSTAND EDS. In physical therapy, and surgeries, everything is exactly opposite for EDS patients of what someone without EDS would need. Example, most people need to loosen their ligaments, or loosen things like their hip socket. Well with my partner, and with EDS, you have to TIGHTEN everything. When you said the Botox would “relax” your muscles, I gasped! You need your muscles TIGHTENED. You need to strengthen your muscles. My partner got injections for his shoulders (before surgery) and it made them so much worse. It has been a long battle with doctors, specialist, surgeries etc. and I know that it will always be a battle, and I am ready for it. I’m so happy you found someone willing to be there for you, because so many people don’t understand. My partner gets migraines due to his neck moving so much that it creates a gap and his brain literally tries to escape through the back of his head where his spinal cord is. There’s so much with EDS, there’s so much pain, so much fighting for what you need, for doctors to understand, and I’m so sorry you have to deal with that. I truly hope you can find something that works for you. My partner needs another surgery for his collarbone going out of socket repeatedly, and for his hip (although we can’t find anyone that knows how to tighten his socket etc). We also are saving up to move to Minnesota because our insurance tells him that he needs the EDS specialists in Mayo there (we currently live in WI). I am thankful for my job, so he has had the opportunity to get the care he needs. I hope that you can also find some relief soon. Keep fighting the good fight! You are so loved, I know that EDS can be hard, almost impossible some days, but I truly hope you can part through this and get some true help
Okay my partner just came home and I explained what I wrote to you, and he said if you have not gone to the EDS Society website to find a doctor, you should, even if there is a wait list, get on it. That is how he found the only doctors in WI that were specialists and could actually do the surgeries on him, and both of his surgeries are successful because he had doctors that understand EDS. Also, he suggested you listen to the podcast Hypermobile MD, because she has EDS and interviews doctors that specialize in EDS.
I had a cardiologist storm out of my mother in laws hospital room when I tried to record once. He was SUPER offended- i Like I was trying to catch him or something. Huge turn off but by that time she was in the bed post heart surgery and post stroke during surgery- oh... maybe that's why! It was my mom's fault not the surgeon tho. I'm so so so happy you're back. Every time I used a product or brush you've recommended, I've said a prayer for your healing. You really feel like a friend. Thanks for being here for us for all the years! 💄🪞🎨
I’m so happy you’re back and healing. It’s wonderful to have someone that understands chronic illness and the time/toll it takes on you. Thank you for being in this space and also showing that you can have a fulfilling life despite health struggles.
I am so glad you’re back. I have had back surgery they put a cage in & operated in the front into my hysterectomy scar. I was blessed as well. If your boyfriend stayed with you , you better marry that man. I hope you continue to get better & better.
YAY!!!!!!! TAYLOR IS BACK!!!! Ohhhhhh TAYLOR!!!! My mom and I were lying down together this morning and we prayed really hard for you!!! FULL RECOVERY, PAIN FREE, TOTALLY HEALING IN ALL PARTS OF YOUR BODY, OVERALL HEALTH AND HAPPINESS!!!! We both enjoy watching you babe!!! We love you …and as a Gemini Rising here…I totally LOVE that you kept that active mind alive!!! French lessons and credit card points!!!! I’m here for it!!!! We LOVE YOU!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I just had 2 disc replacements and fusion on my neck 3 weeks ago. I’ve had a constant headache since a car accident in 2006 which can get debilitating. Sadly, this surgery is unlikely to fix the pain but it had to be done to prevent things getting even worse because my latest MRI showed significant deterioration, I hope you continue to recover and live your life fully.
I’m so sorry. Having a huge surgery knowing that it won’t make things better must have been so frustrating. I’ve also had 2 discs in my neck replaced. I’m grateful it solved my problem for the most part. Sending hugs ❤
@@Georgesmomsu thanks so much. I’m so happy yours has worked! I had a really great experience with all the hospital and medical staff and I’m very thankful for that. I was up and walking the day of the surgery, so even though my pain is still there, the surgery went well and I’m surprised at how easy it’s been.
Im so happy to see that you're back. I have a cousin who has EDS (it's actually how her family found ours, through ancestry dna). Im not sure how severe hers is. My dad has also had neck surgery after a severe work injury. He has cadaver bone, as well as a steel cage and screws in his neck, since 2008. I hope you continue to recover well, and your migraines go away!
Honestly I appreciate the little details sooo much. While my EDS isn’t as bad as yours, my neck is very unstable. So there’s always a chance I may need a fusion in the future, and it’s important to know the reality of recovery! Thanks for sharing with us
So happy for you Taylor! I’ve been seeing videos about vitamin B1 or benfotiamin for a bunch of symptoms related to the autonomic nervous system so if anyone has pots, hyper mobility, me/cfs, fibromyalgia, insufficient pancreatic enzymes, the list continues, look it up! Apparently helps the brain signals. Also converts glucose to energy. Must be taken with a Bcomplex. ❤
i started to tear up hearing you talk about how good your experience was with the hospital, doctors, etc!! i am someone who feels very privileged to not have many health issues, but i have been a long time follower and can ONLY imagine the amount of negative or disheartening healthcare experiences you’ve had given all that you’ve been through and i’m so happy to hear the surgery was a positive experience. sending you all the healing vibes that you start to feel relief from it!! you are a true inspiration and example of strength. i’ve always admired you for it. please continue to take care of yourself and don’t overextend yourself. we’ll be here no matter how often you upload. ❤
That’s a great idea to take an audio recording during a medical appointment or whenever you’re getting given a lot of info from a medical professional. 😊
You are a warrior and so inspiring to so many of us. You need to take the time and rest,heal my friend. Your strength and courage is amazing. We all will be here when you are ready! You are loved.
So happy to see your face!!! The surgery sure sounds hopeful in helping you in the long run! Very exciting news for sure!!! You need to not worry about RUclips, we will all be here any time that you feel up to uploading a video. Your main focus is your health and recovery, no doubt!!!!! Plz do everything you need to do to for yourself and we will continue to keep the positive healing vibes coming your way!!!!! 💜💜💜
I hope this surgery makes a big difference and you begin to feel better soon. I know that resting is not easy for you to do, but please try. We want you back healthy and in no pain!
So many appts! It can be overwhelming to have to be so many places every day, take your time with coming back to RUclips. I was honestly shocked that you're back already. I know you don't want advice.... But if you're doing PT for the neck and your shoulders are locking up you might ask about Dry Needle Therapy. It's like acupuncture with electricity. I had it when I was doing PT on my elbow and one session unlocked it so much. It's not excruciating to have done, uncomfortable, but the results are awesome. It might give you some relief from the tension without weakening the muscles. They have to wait a certain number of weeks post op to do it though. Maybe 6-8? It's been a while since I had it done. Either way, I'm glad to see you're doing well!
Chronic migraines since I was a child. Had C5/C6 fused in May 2022 (at 35) - the recovery was longer than I expected and I still have times where I will get the tight neck and traps soreness BUT I have SO many fewer migraines now - like 1 or 2 a month and I feel “normal” so many more days than not! Hoping it’s the same or better for you! 💜
JEEZ, i can't imagine going through everything you have and STILL having migraines! Your determination is so admirable and your intelligent and compassionate approach to your life will stand you in good stead. I am old (73) and have watched you for years, its been an exceptional experiece. Thank you.x
So excited to see you! Glad surgery went well and you're healing. We missed you, but don't feel like you have to get back into regular videos right away. Ease into it 😊
Sooo happy to see your beautiful face,thank god you found someone to hold your hand and give that kinda love and support,not to take anything from your parents,but his love and support is different..your people aren’t going anywhere,heal slowly..so sorry you are still in so much pain. You are a true trooper ❤✨✨✨🤗
Wishing you well Taylor 😊 From someone who had a recent complete spinal and pelvic reconstruction, please take your time and be kind to yourself. Sending prayers from this side of the struggle. It will get better and you are so strong. 😊
I have suspected EDS, super frequent headaches and migraines that seem to stem from my neck, constant pain and tightness in the suboccipital area.. that's why I want my doctor to actually look into EDS and these issues instead of just telling me to take otc pain meds that do nothing. I'm so glad you've received good medical care!! And thank you for sharing your story, it's given me lots to think about
Oh Taylor, I can relate in so many ways. First of all, I’m so sorry all that you have gone through and I hope that this surgery is just the beginning of your recovery and feeling less pain going forward. I have had three back surgeries, one being a spinal fusion. Then, after all of my back surgeries, I had two separate broken bones in my spine. It’s like I have an 80 year old spine and I’m 50 now. I was in chronic pain from age 30 to 40. It is not easy and it is not easy for people who love and support you. However, I have been in very little pain the past ten years and finally found a medication that lets me live a full and productive life. My husband always ask me, how are you always this positive every day? And I tell him, because I’m not in pain!! I too wish you all the happiness and health in the world! 😊
Super excited for the point explanation. Also, those small things like using a cup to spit are GEMS. They don’t tell you quality of life things as a patient or as a caregiver and when you’re in the middle of it; it can be impossible to figure it out
I don't know if you recall my comment on your initial video regarding this, but I did test positive for HD. Symptom onset will be anytime from now until 40 max. There are so many parallels between our experiences. To grieve all the normal things we thought we would get to experience... to have a rare disease rob you of life... to have hardly any treatment...no human should have to go through this. But we aren't alone. As isolating as this feels... we have to remember someone out there truly understands & is going through the same experiences.
French tip!: I came across this RUclipsr (2e peau) and she speaks Canadian French (Quebec French) exclusively in her videos in such a way that it's very clear/crisp for non-native French speakers (some native speakers are just too fast for me to keep up). I'm Canadian and grew up learning French, but spoken French wasn't taught very well where I grew up so I like to watch her videos to hear Canadian French in action.
I’m so happy to get an update from you. It’s so funny that you “grew” a couple of inches. 😂 Don’t overdo it- we all want you to heal and relax! Praying for your relief and quick recovery!
Hearing you talk about potential future family makes me emotional! ❤ From the first videos of yours I watched, I was hoping that you will reach a point in your life that you'll find your person and want to create your own beautiful family, when you are ready of course! ❤ I'm so happy you're back strong and healthy.❤ Take as much time as your body needs, don't worry about uploading multiple videos at a specific schedule. We are here for you! ❤
It’s so wonderful and refreshing to see your video pop up! I pray your healing process continues to go well. I sympathize with you … when your body prevents you from functioning properly it really can take a toll on you mentally. I have been battling migraines for over 20 years. What has helped me through it, as cliche as it sounds, was having a great support system. It also helps that I work at the hospital that all my doctors are at. Keep healing, physically and mentally. You are amazing! ❤️🖤❤️🖤
Anyone else remember her GRWM outdoors where she was using her left hand/arm only because she couldn't feel her right arm/hand? Girl, look how far we have come! Keep doing all the things you need to be healthy, happy and moving forward from one good place to the next. So much love to you!! You are one of my heroes. 🖤🖤🖤
Was just thinking about you the other day and was hoping everything was going well for you. What a wonderful surprise to see you post a video! Totally wasn’t expecting anything so soon but super excited to know you’re doing well. As much as I love your videos, I think it would be great for you to completely unplug and focus on your recovery and just enjoy life without the hustle of work. Especially during the holidays. This is prime time to take a complete break. Whatever you choose, I’m sure we all support you. On a different note, isn’t it crazy how we take the smallest things for granted like leaning forward to spit while brushing our teeth? 😂 Thanks for reminding us to be grateful, even for the smallest of mobility. You’re such a strong and beautiful person. Wishing you continued healing during your recovery. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving and Christmas if we don’t see you before then!
I really hope this surgery is a success for you. 🙏🏻 As for PRP it only lasted about 4 months for me. The injections were the most painful (even with lidocaine) and after that I felt some relief within a few weeks. But the only thing that truly hurt me were the injections in my neck and back while under twilight on propofol. I've been going through my own thing, so I'll need to back up and watch all the videos I've missed. It's been the roughest year of my life. My heart goes out to you and yours. ❤
I've been following you for years and the way you talk about pain is so healing to me. Thank you for letting us in this part of your life, knowing how sensitive it must be. You've made me feel normal in moments where I thought I was alone. Thank you, take care 💓
Because of your video, I was able to get my brother to make an appointment to find out if he has EDS. He was generally tested and told to see a specialist for more testing. Thank you for sharing your health journey. Im hoping this gives my brother the answers he’s been needing 🙏🏼❤️
I seriously clicked very fast. I’m so happy that you’re back but most importantly that you’re doing well. Learning another language is beautiful. Praying for your health and wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Taylor, you have my prayers, empathy and understanding. I have an early twenties friend who is suffering from EDS right now and who tried mightily to get through a four year away college and was sent home three semesters and went back. She finally had to give up and will go locally. I have suffered from chronic migraines since age 31 with muscle spa smoke and had to stop my career. You have a double whammy to say the least. You have such a great attitude and it seems a great support system. I just started watching you right before your surgery. I am rooting for you...God Bless. ❤
"This are probably details no one wants to know..." No, Taylor, we're all here for it! You got this babe, you're so brave, and I'm wishing you a full recovery soon ❤❤
Doubt you'll see this Taylor but just wanted to say I used to watch your channel all the time but fell off watching a lot of my favs and am just getting back to it. I always used to relate to you because of our same age and shared health struggles and always wondered if,like me, you had EDS. I'm sorry to learn you do have it. I have it along with gastroparesis, mast cell activation syndrome, migraines and a list of other issues. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Like you I know what it's like being debilitated by pain and the severe frustration that comes with seeking help and answers. I just wanted to express my support, hopes for a better future regarding your health and admiration. Wishing you well. ❤️
Hey you are back and recovering well. I have checked your social media a few times in the last 4 weeks. You are one strong, resilient and positive- attitude girl. Best wishes and hugs 🎉.
I held off watching this for over a week because I knew I would be emotional. It is so good to see your face and hear your voice. I’m sorry your healing has been slow and your pain persistent. Hopefully as time goes on and you gain strength back you’ll see improvements. Sending you so much love! Can’t wait for the next one🖤
I was trying to figure out if you gained weight or lost weight because your jawline looked different... Then you said you grew. That's what it is, it changed your face shape because of your posture changing! Neat!
So happy to see you back, praying that the rest of your recovery goes smoothly. Hope I get answers soon too. Chronic pain sucks and completely takes over your life, but I finally found a doctor for EDS so hopeful I get an appointment to see them soon!
"BABE, WAKE UP. TAYLOR'S BACK."
IM AWAKE IM HERE!
Essentially the emotion I felt
Literally verbatim to my bf at 12:20 am
Wow. Glad to see that you're back in action on RUclips. Keep your man close! He sounds like a good one! --- I myself have an abundant of health issues and most men won't commit to the challenges that is my daily life.😢 Autoimmune disorders are very real and it kicks my butt most days. Men can be shallow without even realizing it, even if they don't mean to be.
Same ❤
Just wanted to say thank you. For your vulnerability, for your honesty, for your dedication. And by that I mean your dedication to advocating for yourself. You’ve taught me lessons that I think many of us needed. So above all else, thank you.
Given the gravity of your surgery I wasn’t anticipating any videos until next year..hope you are fully taking care of yourself!
Agreed!
Same! ❤️
Agreed agreed. Ain't Gunna lie I've thought of (you) Taylor a few times while she's been gone (I don't think about many if any youtubers.) but I don't at all want her to push it to come back!!! 💜 💜 💜
But I love the dedication and feel the mutual love which is very very nice. ❤
'this is details probably noone wants to know' EATING TAC0S ✅ SPITTING IN THE SINK ✅ here for it 👏 👐💜💪
I am a French Canadian living in Montreal (Québec), it is so sweet of you learning French for your boyfriend (and family), so respectful. Being the only province in Canada speaking French I am sure they will be so proud of you (our language is very important for us). I will be praying for you, for your health. Bon courage, je suis très fière de toi!
Salut de rive sud mtl! :) tellement vrai ce que tu dis 😊😊😊
New Brunswick is also an official bilingual province 😊
@ Oups! 🤭
And Manitoba! Lots of French in Ontario also… just a PS :)
@@joseetownsend3692 I know 😊 I should have say: Quebec first language is French and the other provinces is English. I did not want to hurt anybody or say something not true. I was just so proud of Taylor learning French. Sans rancune j’espère!
Hearing this "Love you guys, thanks for watching, see ya in my next video" really made me smile 😃
Im a nurse in an orthopedic surgeons office...we do PRP and you are exactly right, It is an inflammatory process, however, we have SOOO many patients get amazing results with it. Idk what your surgeon will say, but at our office we have patience stop all anti inflammatory medications before, during, and after PRP, as to not interfere with the bodys natural process. (Not sure, what medications you're on or if that would even be an issue for you) Also, vit d can help in the healing process after orthopedic surgery. Good luck and hope you find some relief.
No one understands migraine pain and frustrations with medical person unless they live it. I’m so glad you found some help.
Absolutely agree. 🖤🖤🖤
100%. ❤️🙏🏻
Older viewer here. I'm relieved to hear you speak so positively about your health journey and I'm going to pray about the pain you've been experiencing. My gut is telling me that you'll come out of this season so much stronger and healthy. Mama hugs coming ur way!❤
Not me tearing up over you talking about potential future kids! Obviously support it WHEN YOU’RE READY, but I’m just genuinely happy that you’ve found someone you love enough to consider these kinds of future plans. It just makes me so happy for you ❤
Ditto, what you said! ❤
I didnt hear her say anything about children whats the timestamp plz
@@pinky1068she mentioned wanting her future children to know a 2nd language when she was talking about her bf’s family speaking French.
This made me cry at the breakfast table 😭
Gahhhh....I read your comment before getting to that part and burst into tears.😭 I'm always emotional during my cycle 😂😂😂 Now I'm prepared for hearing her say it...I 🤔 😅
You have inspired me to take up French again! My family is French/Romanian, and it’s always been hard for me to learn. Also I’m a fellow Jew from San Diego that deals with EDS symptoms! Thank you for being so open! It feels nice being able to relate to someone
Your resilience and vulnerability are both inspiring 🖤 happy to hear that you are at a taco consumption phase of your recovery 🌮
Taco consumption phase is how I will be referring to this moving forward 😂
It would be a burrito ( berrito) 😂😉
I have EDS and am struggling badly with cervical instability. I would love to know what surgeon you saw. My sister has her entire spine fused and it is so hard to find a competent and compassionate surgeon. I’m so glad you had a positive experience 🙏🏻❤️
Taylor! As a French Canadian living in the United States, hearing that you are learning French because "it's a respect thing" is so refreshing! Let me just tell you this one thing. We Québécois LOVE, LOVE, LOVE when someone takes the time to say something in French. Doesn't matter if you only say "je veux une poutine s'il vous plaît", your efforts will go a long way. Now, if you are close to the border of Ontario aka the Outaouais region (where I'm originally from), then you will find more times than not that someone will answer you back in English. Don't despair and just tell them you want to practice your French. They will love you forever and even throw in a few extra Sephora samples! Enjoy Québec! It's a beautiful province with beautiful people and Christmas is so magical up there!
Want to dazzle your new family? Listen to some traditional music. Gilles Vigneault, Félix Leclerc, Jean-Pierre Ferland, Robert Charlebois. I love Harmonium and Beau Dommage. That is music from my younger days.
As a French (born and raised in France) American living in the US, I found Quebec a gorgeous city and Quebecois extremely kind people always ready to help.
I’ve had Prolotherapy for sever “tennis elbow” and the first couple of rounds didn’t seem to help but the 3rd and 4th worked tremendously. Steroid injections would eventually wear off but after the Prolotherapy it has yet to come back, going on 2 years. My advice, be patient, it seems to take a few rounds to feel relief.
I’ve also suffered with chronic daily migraine in my 30’s for a 10-12 year span (Sumatriptan saved my life). I was eventually treated with antibiotics (suspected chronic Lyme) and my headaches, body and neck stiffness FINALLY dissipated. I’m rooting for you! I hope this is your FINALLY!
AHHHH!! OK COMMENTING IN MINUTE 1 BUT MY HEART STOPPED WHEN I SAW YOU UPLOADED FRIEND!!
I am genuinely so impressed with your drive and effort towards hobbies/goals when you are recovering from major surgery. Wow
I’m about to have neck surgery and I cannot even tell you how much I needed this video. Taylor, thank you. Truly. You’re a warrior. Seriously.
Best of luck ❤️🩹 everything will go great. Keeping you in my thoughts!
@@kaylastahlbaum7265 thank you so much 🥹
Prayers for your surgery to go very well!
Thank you both so much. 🥹
Hoping it goes well and you have a smooth recovery!
5’1”!? A tall queen! So happy to see your update. Wishing you the best as you continue to recover ❤
11:48 YOUR RING!!!! it looks beautiful being back on you! I hope that was a gift to yourself 🖤 (or that you found the stone!)
I saw that too!
Just came to say this !!
My parents replaced the stone as a gift! Sooo happy to have it back 🖤
@@taylorwynn Just commented and asked about this lolol yay! That's awesome 😊
@@taylorwynn Your parents, proving time and again, that they are true MVPs. Happy healing to you girl!
Those “details” you say no one wants to hear are all things we usually take for granted.
As someone with chronic sciatic pain, I completely understand…
Ozone therapy treatment saved my life!
Glad to see you’re back!!!
Happy healing🖤
I’ve never clicked a notification so fast! Welcome back, we missed you!
🖤🖤🖤
Me to I was so excited
As a quebecer wh'os been following you for like 8 years, knowing that your boyfriend is from Québec makes my heart happy💙 🤗
Your ability to explain such a complex medical issue is impressive. I’m so sorry you’re still in pain.
Wow girl, you have been through a LOT, especially in the last months. Your great attitude and willingness to share your experience with us is refreshing. I’m glad you are healing well. Love your channel and helpful content.
You are a beautiful soul ❤
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Life just stopped for me because YOUR notification just popped up. WELCOME BACK, you've been SO MISSED!!🖤🖤🖤
PS My husband had that same type of surgery, using the plate and screws, almost 20 years ago. His surgery was a huge success story, as he has very little back pain. And, he has never had pain from the hardware (some people need to have it removed after several years.) I wanted to encourage you that there are success stories out there!!!🥳🥳🥳
I was in an accident in 2011. I have herniated discs in back and in my entire neck. I too suffer from horrible pain and migraines. I’ve been on pain medication. I’m so afraid getting neck surgery. It’s so scary. I’m afraid I will end up even worse. I’m so glad you healing and getting better. You were brave going through 2 neck surgeries.
Taylor this will be the beginning of a life of joy. I had a horrible hip that had two surgeries that made me almost worse and then after not being able to walk any longer I finally got the third surgery years later and after a long painful recovery I am a new person. My heart and prayers are with you. Stay positive and patient. Xo
When I was 21, I was in a bad car accident that left me a paraplegic and I had a hole in my throat from when I had a breathing tube. And I wasn't able to swallow thin liquids. So I had to be on thicken fluid. Being a CNA, I knew all about that stuff. It was awful, and my mother was a saint too!! She was with me every day, and she'd thicken any and every type of drink to find something that actually tasted good. Nothing ever did. But I totally get your whole experience! I had a spinal fusion in my T6-T7 vertebrae, and I wore a turtle shell for a while to try and keep my spine strait. That didn't do anything for me, so I had to go back and have supporting rods placed on either side of my spine. Having a great hospital stay and nursing staff literally makes all the difference!! I ended up meeting my husband while I was at rehab. He was a CNA and every time he'd go by my room and I had people in my room I'd always say jokingly there goes my bf. It's so funny to think about now that we've been together 14 years and got married this year our anniversary is 2/2 for our 14th, and we got married 2/4/24. I've never been happier in my life!! Even though everyday is a constant battle and struggle I really wouldn't change it for anything!! I hope y0u feel better soon and that you heal fast!!! ♡♡♡
My hubby and I got married on 2/2/02, and I never see anyone have that date so I had to say something lol! Congrats on ur marriage, and finding ur forever after! 🎉❤️🎉
Your story somehow resonated with me and touched me. The hope that can be conveyed in a story of hope is so inspiring bc people go through different struggles and knowing that people get to the other side is so valuable to know. Just stick in there type of message because you never know what life will have around the corner……….Thank you for story of experience. ✌️
I read a lot of the comments on your videos. You have a lot of supportive subscribers. Take it slow do what you can. Your subscribers will understand and support you.
My mom’s neck is all plates and screws after failed cadaver discs. She hated her scar and the feeling. It took me years to get her to be okay not wearing a scarf and in her defense her scar is intense. I’m so happy I stayed and slept in the hospital for her recovery because there were so many horrors that could’ve happened had I not caught the mistakes before they made them. Unfortunately she has to sleep upright in a chair or the pain, swelling, and choking are too intense from laying down. Then someone hit her in a car collision and we have been at a loss. She can’t drive or function without dizziness, basically nothing feels right. I really wish she had a different doctor for many of her neck surgeries and I pray so intensely that we can find a way to get her any sense of normalcy and happiness. I’m scared but you finding a great doctor gives me hope. I know you probably don’t want to say but may I ask who your doctor is that did the surgery?
OMG, YES!! Came for the update, stayed to watch every single second even during the busiest part of my day to let her know she matters. Keep going Taylor, this is going to be good! Hugs from California.
YES!
I’ve had 7 rounds (70-100 injections each time) of prolotherapy in my occiput / C1 -C7 and a couple cute times in T1-T2.
Absolutely changed my life.
I had extreme cervical distructure, intracranial hypertension, vagus nerve damage, the works - and was pretty much bed-bound. At about round 2-3 I started to notice a difference, and improved more each time. Days in bed are really rare now... unless I want to be there, heh heh.
Happy to chat about any part of it. I've always felt endeared to you as a chronically chill neck girly.
I highly recommend Dr. Hauser at Caring Medical. Most other doctors do just one injection, but he drenches the area to optimize efficacy. Plus, his whole staff is uncommonly kind.
So pumped for your healing journey!
Hope is huge. Thanks for taking us along.
CLICKED SOOOO FAST!!!! we missed you queen and hope everything is going okay! Take care of yourself!
You are a warrior. I just finished 2 weeks on soft foods and I didn’t realize what a challenge is it. Messed with my head and stomach and you had to heal from surgery on top of that.
Sending positive thoughts your way as you continue on your healing journey.
HOLT SHITZIES, you're back! I'm so glad you're able to have the mindset you do, knowing that lack of immediate progress doesn't mean NO progress, it just means you need time for your body to heal. Go at whatever pace makes you feel best, you know your body and you've learned how to listen to it. I'm having a hysterectomy in about a month, so I'm looking forward to having a video or two while I'm the one recovering. 😊
I'm also SO excited for you with regards to your relationship! I've been here almost 10 years, and I can tell a difference with this one. That's so cool you're learning French! You seem incredibly happy, and you deserve ALL the good things. 💜
You have so much motivation and drive. If I was in your position, I would have given up a long time ago. I think it's inspiring. I don't have physical problems like you do but a lot of mental ones instead. Videos like this one push me to do even my basic things instead of just rotting.
Usually a silent watcher but I’m so happy to see you again 🥹❤️
I was a linguist in the military. Surround yourself with the language, even if you don't understand it, have it on in the background whether it is music, tv shows or a podcast.
Good for you respecting his family enough to learn French.
Finally catching up on your recent videos. So happy to hear you're doing well all things considered! Hang in there; you got this! Healing is #1 priority. Merry Christmas! xoxo
Super excited to have you back but please take it slow, we want you to heal and be happy & stress free 😊
Welcome back! May you continue to experience healing and improved health.
With thyroidectomy i was told to use scar away gel and scar massage, twice a day. And using sun screen to give the best scar appearance and I feel it has helped. I used the gel about 9 months. It helped with hydration and reduced raised appearance and itching of the scar.
Taylor, hi… been watching your content for years & I too struggle with EDS. I’ve had too many surgeries to count. I have tried PRP for my shoulder and elbow joints and I did have success with it. But because we have chronic issues … I pretty much struggle with all my joints at this point. PT is so important and staying toned. That’s the best thing we can do for our body. Life long PT patient .. and just watching you talk about how you could do certain things again is something to celebrate! I just wanted to say, you seem or show you’re strong. You have gone thru so much with your health, and I get it. Watching you talk I’ve been there. The small achievements mean so much. Praying for you and your recovery.
Please please please don’t rush back! Make sure your healing is your priority 💝
Prolotherapy CHANGED MY LIFE!!!!! Severe muscular back/neck injury with scar tissue! I live a normal life again!
I really feel for you. My partner has EDS, and he didn’t find out until about 2 years ago. He works in healthcare, and has his whole life, so he’s never had decent health insurance, because healthcare workers don’t usually even get the offer (which is crazy, but that’s a whole other topic). When we got together, because my insurance allows domestic partners, I was able to get him on my really good insurance, through the health insurance company I work for. He has had two complete shoulder reconstruction surgeries, one last year, and one this year. The hardest part for us, is trying to find him doctors that KNOW and UNDERSTAND EDS. In physical therapy, and surgeries, everything is exactly opposite for EDS patients of what someone without EDS would need. Example, most people need to loosen their ligaments, or loosen things like their hip socket. Well with my partner, and with EDS, you have to TIGHTEN everything. When you said the Botox would “relax” your muscles, I gasped! You need your muscles TIGHTENED. You need to strengthen your muscles. My partner got injections for his shoulders (before surgery) and it made them so much worse. It has been a long battle with doctors, specialist, surgeries etc. and I know that it will always be a battle, and I am ready for it. I’m so happy you found someone willing to be there for you, because so many people don’t understand. My partner gets migraines due to his neck moving so much that it creates a gap and his brain literally tries to escape through the back of his head where his spinal cord is. There’s so much with EDS, there’s so much pain, so much fighting for what you need, for doctors to understand, and I’m so sorry you have to deal with that. I truly hope you can find something that works for you. My partner needs another surgery for his collarbone going out of socket repeatedly, and for his hip (although we can’t find anyone that knows how to tighten his socket etc). We also are saving up to move to Minnesota because our insurance tells him that he needs the EDS specialists in Mayo there (we currently live in WI). I am thankful for my job, so he has had the opportunity to get the care he needs. I hope that you can also find some relief soon. Keep fighting the good fight! You are so loved, I know that EDS can be hard, almost impossible some days, but I truly hope you can part through this and get some true help
Okay my partner just came home and I explained what I wrote to you, and he said if you have not gone to the EDS Society website to find a doctor, you should, even if there is a wait list, get on it. That is how he found the only doctors in WI that were specialists and could actually do the surgeries on him, and both of his surgeries are successful because he had doctors that understand EDS. Also, he suggested you listen to the podcast Hypermobile MD, because she has EDS and interviews doctors that specialize in EDS.
I had a cardiologist storm out of my mother in laws hospital room when I tried to record once. He was SUPER offended- i
Like I was trying to catch him or something. Huge turn off but by that time she was in the bed post heart surgery and post stroke during surgery- oh... maybe that's why! It was my mom's fault not the surgeon tho.
I'm so so so happy you're back. Every time I used a product or brush you've recommended, I've said a prayer for your healing. You really feel like a friend. Thanks for being here for us for all the years! 💄🪞🎨
I’m so happy you’re back and healing. It’s wonderful to have someone that understands chronic illness and the time/toll it takes on you. Thank you for being in this space and also showing that you can have a fulfilling life despite health struggles.
I am so glad you’re back. I have had back surgery they put a cage in & operated in the front into my hysterectomy scar. I was blessed as well. If your boyfriend stayed with you , you better marry that man. I hope you continue to get better & better.
The way I GASPED!!! So happy to see you ❤
This comeback makes me so happy because you look so glowing and well rested
just started this but it’s so good to see your grandmas ring back!!
YAY!!!!!!! TAYLOR IS BACK!!!! Ohhhhhh TAYLOR!!!! My mom and I were lying down together this morning and we prayed really hard for you!!!

We LOVE YOU!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I just had 2 disc replacements and fusion on my neck 3 weeks ago. I’ve had a constant headache since a car accident in 2006 which can get debilitating. Sadly, this surgery is unlikely to fix the pain but it had to be done to prevent things getting even worse because my latest MRI showed significant deterioration,
I hope you continue to recover and live your life fully.
I'm so sorry that is happening to you.
I’m so sorry. Having a huge surgery knowing that it won’t make things better must have been so frustrating. I’ve also had 2 discs in my neck replaced. I’m grateful it solved my problem for the most part. Sending hugs ❤
@@amy98765 thank you 🤍
@@Georgesmomsu thanks so much. I’m so happy yours has worked! I had a really great experience with all the hospital and medical staff and I’m very thankful for that. I was up and walking the day of the surgery, so even though my pain is still there, the surgery went well and I’m surprised at how easy it’s been.
Im so happy to see that you're back. I have a cousin who has EDS (it's actually how her family found ours, through ancestry dna). Im not sure how severe hers is. My dad has also had neck surgery after a severe work injury. He has cadaver bone, as well as a steel cage and screws in his neck, since 2008. I hope you continue to recover well, and your migraines go away!
Honestly I appreciate the little details sooo much. While my EDS isn’t as bad as yours, my neck is very unstable. So there’s always a chance I may need a fusion in the future, and it’s important to know the reality of recovery! Thanks for sharing with us
So happy for you Taylor! I’ve been seeing videos about vitamin B1 or benfotiamin for a bunch of symptoms related to the autonomic nervous system so if anyone has pots, hyper mobility, me/cfs, fibromyalgia, insufficient pancreatic enzymes, the list continues, look it up! Apparently helps the brain signals. Also converts glucose to energy. Must be taken with a Bcomplex. ❤
Welcome back! Don’t overdue it. You come first.
i started to tear up hearing you talk about how good your experience was with the hospital, doctors, etc!! i am someone who feels very privileged to not have many health issues, but i have been a long time follower and can ONLY imagine the amount of negative or disheartening healthcare experiences you’ve had given all that you’ve been through and i’m so happy to hear the surgery was a positive experience. sending you all the healing vibes that you start to feel relief from it!! you are a true inspiration and example of strength. i’ve always admired you for it. please continue to take care of yourself and don’t overextend yourself. we’ll be here no matter how often you upload. ❤
That’s a great idea to take an audio recording during a medical appointment or whenever you’re getting given a lot of info from a medical professional. 😊
You are a warrior and so inspiring to so many of us. You need to take the time and rest,heal my friend. Your strength and courage is amazing.
We all will be here when you are ready! You are loved.
So happy to see your face!!! The surgery sure sounds hopeful in helping you in the long run! Very exciting news for sure!!! You need to not worry about RUclips, we will all be here any time that you feel up to uploading a video. Your main focus is your health and recovery, no doubt!!!!! Plz do everything you need to do to for yourself and we will continue to keep the positive healing vibes coming your way!!!!! 💜💜💜
I hope this surgery makes a big difference and you begin to feel better soon. I know that resting is not easy for you to do, but please try. We want you back healthy and in no pain!
So many appts! It can be overwhelming to have to be so many places every day, take your time with coming back to RUclips. I was honestly shocked that you're back already.
I know you don't want advice.... But if you're doing PT for the neck and your shoulders are locking up you might ask about Dry Needle Therapy. It's like acupuncture with electricity. I had it when I was doing PT on my elbow and one session unlocked it so much. It's not excruciating to have done, uncomfortable, but the results are awesome. It might give you some relief from the tension without weakening the muscles. They have to wait a certain number of weeks post op to do it though. Maybe 6-8? It's been a while since I had it done.
Either way, I'm glad to see you're doing well!
Welcome back! So good to see you :)
Chronic migraines since I was a child. Had C5/C6 fused in May 2022 (at 35) - the recovery was longer than I expected and I still have times where I will get the tight neck and traps soreness BUT I have SO many fewer migraines now - like 1 or 2 a month and I feel “normal” so many more days than not! Hoping it’s the same or better for you! 💜
JEEZ, i can't imagine going through everything you have and STILL having migraines! Your determination is so admirable and your intelligent and compassionate approach to your life will stand you in good stead. I am old (73) and have watched you for years, its been an exceptional experiece. Thank you.x
She is BACK!!!!!! drop everything, Taylor uploaded a video!!!!
So happy to hear you're on the mend. We'll be waiting for your next video whenever you decide to post.
So excited to see you! Glad surgery went well and you're healing. We missed you, but don't feel like you have to get back into regular videos right away. Ease into it 😊
Sooo happy to see your beautiful face,thank god you found someone to hold your hand and give that kinda love and support,not to take anything from your parents,but his love and support is different..your people aren’t going anywhere,heal slowly..so sorry you are still in so much pain. You are a true trooper ❤✨✨✨🤗
Wishing you well Taylor 😊
From someone who had a recent complete spinal and pelvic reconstruction, please take your time and be kind to yourself. Sending prayers from this side of the struggle. It will get better and you are so strong. 😊
Wishing you a speedy and full recovery ❤️
@@justrose6978 thank you 🙂
I have suspected EDS, super frequent headaches and migraines that seem to stem from my neck, constant pain and tightness in the suboccipital area.. that's why I want my doctor to actually look into EDS and these issues instead of just telling me to take otc pain meds that do nothing. I'm so glad you've received good medical care!! And thank you for sharing your story, it's given me lots to think about
Oh Taylor, I can relate in so many ways. First of all, I’m so sorry all that you have gone through and I hope that this surgery is just the beginning of your recovery and feeling less pain going forward. I have had three back surgeries, one being a spinal fusion. Then, after all of my back surgeries, I had two separate broken bones in my spine. It’s like I have an 80 year old spine and I’m 50 now. I was in chronic pain from age 30 to 40. It is not easy and it is not easy for people who love and support you. However, I have been in very little pain the past ten years and finally found a medication that lets me live a full and productive life. My husband always ask me, how are you always this positive every day? And I tell him, because I’m not in pain!!
I too wish you all the happiness and health in the world! 😊
Super excited for the point explanation. Also, those small things like using a cup to spit are GEMS. They don’t tell you quality of life things as a patient or as a caregiver and when you’re in the middle of it; it can be impossible to figure it out
TAYLOR IS BACK YALL
I don't know if you recall my comment on your initial video regarding this, but I did test positive for HD. Symptom onset will be anytime from now until 40 max. There are so many parallels between our experiences. To grieve all the normal things we thought we would get to experience... to have a rare disease rob you of life... to have hardly any treatment...no human should have to go through this. But we aren't alone. As isolating as this feels... we have to remember someone out there truly understands & is going through the same experiences.
French tip!: I came across this RUclipsr (2e peau) and she speaks Canadian French (Quebec French) exclusively in her videos in such a way that it's very clear/crisp for non-native French speakers (some native speakers are just too fast for me to keep up). I'm Canadian and grew up learning French, but spoken French wasn't taught very well where I grew up so I like to watch her videos to hear Canadian French in action.
I don't think you realize how incredibly brave and special you are. I hope and pray this surgery brings you relief from pain.
I was just thinking about you yesterday!! So exited to have you back and wishing you the best ❤️
I’m so happy to get an update from you. It’s so funny that you “grew” a couple of inches. 😂 Don’t overdo it- we all want you to heal and relax! Praying for your relief and quick recovery!
Hearing you talk about potential future family makes me emotional! ❤
From the first videos of yours I watched, I was hoping that you will reach a point in your life that you'll find your person and want to create your own beautiful family, when you are ready of course! ❤
I'm so happy you're back strong and healthy.❤
Take as much time as your body needs, don't worry about uploading multiple videos at a specific schedule.
We are here for you! ❤
It’s so wonderful and refreshing to see your video pop up! I pray your healing process continues to go well. I sympathize with you … when your body prevents you from functioning properly it really can take a toll on you mentally. I have been battling migraines for over 20 years. What has helped me through it, as cliche as it sounds, was having a great support system. It also helps that I work at the hospital that all my doctors are at. Keep healing, physically and mentally. You are amazing! ❤️🖤❤️🖤
Anyone else remember her GRWM outdoors where she was using her left hand/arm only because she couldn't feel her right arm/hand? Girl, look how far we have come! Keep doing all the things you need to be healthy, happy and moving forward from one good place to the next. So much love to you!! You are one of my heroes. 🖤🖤🖤
Was just thinking about you the other day and was hoping everything was going well for you. What a wonderful surprise to see you post a video! Totally wasn’t expecting anything so soon but super excited to know you’re doing well. As much as I love your videos, I think it would be great for you to completely unplug and focus on your recovery and just enjoy life without the hustle of work. Especially during the holidays. This is prime time to take a complete break. Whatever you choose, I’m sure we all support you. On a different note, isn’t it crazy how we take the smallest things for granted like leaning forward to spit while brushing our teeth? 😂 Thanks for reminding us to be grateful, even for the smallest of mobility. You’re such a strong and beautiful person. Wishing you continued healing during your recovery. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving and Christmas if we don’t see you before then!
My husband has stage 4 cancer and MD Anderson has been a blessing. 💚
I really hope this surgery is a success for you. 🙏🏻
As for PRP it only lasted about 4 months for me. The injections were the most painful (even with lidocaine) and after that I felt some relief within a few weeks. But the only thing that truly hurt me were the injections in my neck and back while under twilight on propofol.
I've been going through my own thing, so I'll need to back up and watch all the videos I've missed. It's been the roughest year of my life. My heart goes out to you and yours. ❤
I've been following you for years and the way you talk about pain is so healing to me. Thank you for letting us in this part of your life, knowing how sensitive it must be. You've made me feel normal in moments where I thought I was alone. Thank you, take care 💓
Because of your video, I was able to get my brother to make an appointment to find out if he has EDS. He was generally tested and told to see a specialist for more testing. Thank you for sharing your health journey. Im hoping this gives my brother the answers he’s been needing 🙏🏼❤️
I seriously clicked very fast. I’m so happy that you’re back but most importantly that you’re doing well. Learning another language is beautiful. Praying for your health and wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Taylor, you have my prayers, empathy and understanding. I have an early twenties friend who is suffering from EDS right now and who tried mightily to get through a four year away college and was sent home three semesters and went back. She finally had to give up and will go locally. I have suffered from chronic migraines since age 31 with muscle spa smoke and had to stop my career. You have a double whammy to say the least. You have such a great attitude and it seems a great support system. I just started watching you right before your surgery. I am rooting for you...God Bless. ❤
Spasms. Not smoke.🙄
You’re back!!!!! I’ve just been watching your old content🥹
"This are probably details no one wants to know..." No, Taylor, we're all here for it! You got this babe, you're so brave, and I'm wishing you a full recovery soon ❤❤
Doubt you'll see this Taylor but just wanted to say I used to watch your channel all the time but fell off watching a lot of my favs and am just getting back to it. I always used to relate to you because of our same age and shared health struggles and always wondered if,like me, you had EDS. I'm sorry to learn you do have it. I have it along with gastroparesis, mast cell activation syndrome, migraines and a list of other issues. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Like you I know what it's like being debilitated by pain and the severe frustration that comes with seeking help and answers. I just wanted to express my support, hopes for a better future regarding your health and admiration. Wishing you well. ❤️
Hey you are back and recovering well. I have checked your social media a few times in the last 4 weeks. You are one strong, resilient and positive- attitude girl. Best wishes and hugs 🎉.
Yay! So happy to see you back and healing ❤️also, cracking 5 feet - wow, our girlie is growing up!
I held off watching this for over a week because I knew I would be emotional. It is so good to see your face and hear your voice. I’m sorry your healing has been slow and your pain persistent. Hopefully as time goes on and you gain strength back you’ll see improvements. Sending you so much love! Can’t wait for the next one🖤
I was trying to figure out if you gained weight or lost weight because your jawline looked different... Then you said you grew. That's what it is, it changed your face shape because of your posture changing! Neat!
So happy to see you back, praying that the rest of your recovery goes smoothly. Hope I get answers soon too. Chronic pain sucks and completely takes over your life, but I finally found a doctor for EDS so hopeful I get an appointment to see them soon!
