Thanks! Went to high school in Deerfield, and our Spanish teacher, Señor Carvajal, would take us to a restaurant in Highwood, IL to test our skills. I have a Mexico trip in October and your videos offer inspiration to connect with locals in Puerto Vallarta at food bank.
The amount of joy I experience upon seeing your uploads! Sending you healing thoughts your way, Jenny. You both deserve nothing short of the very best. I eagerly await future updates and the next chapter in you and Kevin’s lives. Thank you for all that you both do to make our days better!
Thanks for always being so transparent with your lives and yes, I miss all the adventures you share with us on a weekly basis. Can't wait for Colombia!!!
Hope you guys find what you guys are looking for both physically and mentally! Good luck in Colombia and can’t wait for you guys to find your forever home in Escondido! 😀
My friend was born and raised in California and also has fibromyalgia. Her and her husband sold their home and bought a home in the Yucatán peninsula. She is now thriving their and says she attributes it to the weather, swimming in the salty ocean and having less stress. Maybe it’s something you might benefit from as well. I too know how debilitating something like this can be . Wishing you the best of everything ❤
I was in Mexico City about a week ago (in Miguel Hidalgo as well) and the altitude and pollution were somewhat overwhelming. I found that as I was walking the streets, I had to stop and get some rest every 30 minutes or so. So I can see why it's taking a toll on you guys. I wish you all the best.
That's why I go there only in the fall and winter. I used to visit throughout the year but now that my girlfriend from Mexico city and I split, no more walking around in an outdoor sauna lol.
Wishing the best for both of you! I think getting out of the city and, close to the ocean will help your body relax. So much stress is taxing to the body, soul, and, mind.
Dear Jenny I know a little on how you are feeling , I have terminal Pancreatic Cancer and for the last few months it has taken a lot out of me , I get tired uch foster and its taking me much longer to recover and the only thing I can tell you is this Take Care Of You you've got your self a good man who loves you so you know your not alone do what you need tofeel better and know that there a old grumpy geengo from Ohio praying for you❤
My wife and I are based in Cali, Colombia and are visiting CDMX for a few months. We’ll be praying for you both and if you ever feel up for going dancing before you leave, let us know! :)
Hey there! How cool, we’d love to meet up for a night of salsa! We tried going recently but it didn’t go too well. We returned home before making it to place because I wasn’t feeling well. And the second time, we actually made it! But returned home after only a few songs because the pain and fatigue were too much 😞 we’re still taking life more slowly these days and miss dancing so so much
Can’t wait to see you eating, bailando and traveling in Puerto Escondido! We’ll wait patiently hoping you feel better each day and that you will soon be doing all the things you love again! Love you guys 🫶🏼
You two are such sweethearts. You brought us so much joy within minutes of meeting you. Sending lots of love and positive energy. This too you will get through
Thanks for the update. I am sorry your health has been a struggle lately, Jenny. I am glad you are both doing self-care. You are two it the kindest and most authentic people I have met and I believe good things are right around the corner for you ❤
Your health is first, take care. I have a cousin with fibromyalgia and changing her eating habits has helped. Mostly no gluten or sugar , you may want to look into that. I wish you all the best
Definitely! I focus on an anti-inflammatory diet, and it’s tough to cut out sweets completely because I love dessert, but I do limit it. I took a food sensitivity test and gluten is okay for me, according to that test. I’ve also tried the keto diet and it only gave me minimal improvement with fibro symptoms
I keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Kevin mentioning Orizaba 3 years ago led to us exploring this part of Veracruz and moving to Córdoba. Our lives have improved immensely with this move. Thank you for sharing with us and being a positive force in the world. Un fuerte abrazo.
I've gone through something similar, my heart goes out to you. It is brutal being that sick! Intermittent fasting and working with a functional medicine doctor were the keys to my healing. Cannabis was a life saver too if you can get quality medicine! The mother plant is the biggest blessing to those going through chronic pain and fatigue. Wishing you the best!
Sad to hear of all the struggles, you`ll come out of it strong. With lots of people putting out content that presents the perfect life it refreshing to hear from truthful and authentic people. Appreciate your sincerity and continue to love your videos, the fun, exciting and even the struggles. We were in Puebla and Veracruz a couple of weeks ago and stopped by Centro Historico in DF before flying back to Chicago. Puebla is amazing and its on our places to move to. DF is a big challenge and you guys have done it so well. All the best to you both, it will all work out positively.
Love your videos.. I can very much relate to your struggles but jealous at the same time. My Spanish is nowhere as good..and not sure I’d be open to visiting outside the confines of Jalisco where I’m More familiar with..
I feel you. My Spanish was noticeably less 10 years ago than what it is now. I took courses to improve and have continued to watch movies and read books in Spanish to keep building my vocabulary and fluency. It’s not easy at all. But I’d encourage you to keep at it!
Have you guys every tried Cuernavaca Morelos its close to Mexico City and a lot of people have pools and very nice weather and if you have an emergency you can get to Chicago quick.
Jenny, I am so proud of you for making the har decisions. Your health is the main focus and I know that you will be feeling better super soon. I trust that. You guys have an amazing bond and that will get you thru anything. I am glad to see you both. I can't wait to hear and see more of you going forward. Much love
Sorry for the troubles you've had in the past weeks and months. I always enjoy your content and look forward to more from Mexico City and beyond. I'm actually going to be in CDMX in early July. Who knows? Maybe our paths will cross. All the best to you as you move forward and continue to deal with the challenges life has thrown you.
I've been checking for your vids on Sundays, today I found one! We all love you guys and wish you nothing but the best. You move to Columbia, we follow. Prayers and healing vibes coming your way, Jenny. It's awful that you are going through rough times, and at the same time wonderful that you were able to help your family, Jenny. You aren't the bad guy, that person is for behaving the way that they have, what you did was necessary and it's great that you are strong enough to do it. Please give updates on how things are going with your former employer. 🥰
🥹gosh, thank you so much. You have no idea how uplifting your words are for us! And things are slowly moving along. We’re discussing a settlement to avoid going to court, but nothing concrete yet
🥹gosh, thank you so much. You have no idea how uplifting your words are for us! And things are slowly moving along. We’re discussing a settlement to avoid going to court, but nothing concrete yet
1st, Kevin is awesome for helping Jenny family. 2nd, Jenny, you may have helped me out tremendously. You talking about Fibromyalgia and talking about some symptoms made me look it up because it sounds a lot like my experiences. When looking up all the symptoms, I matched the vast majority. I’ve had arthritis since i was a teen though not diagnosed until I was near 30. I’m constantly fatigue, have insomnia, I’m always hurting all over, I have stomach issues, I’m constantly having focus issues (I also have ADHD and the insomnia and fatigue make it worse), etc. so it’s something I will be looking into with my doctor I love to travel but when I’m hurting, it becomes far more difficult. Even in Chicago, if it’s not near my home and I have to go to neighborhoods further away, it can really wear me down if I’m in that “bad physical mood” either from fatigue or pain. I was in Mexico City last year and I can relate to the pain of moving around in a big city like CDMX with all the pain the fatigue
Jenny- undiagnosed Lyme disease is often the trigger for fibro (and other things like MS) . I’d highly recommend looking into testing with IgeneX labs in the USA. Have to pay out of pocket since mainstream med just has no clue when it comes to diagnosing and treating Lyme disease. The word fibromyalgia only describes symptoms (muscle pain), but there is always a cause. Praying you feel better soon- I have chronic Lyme and fibro symptoms all the time as well (I’m 58) but a good Lyme literate doctor (LLMD) can help alot .
Well this is interesting. I’m early 40’s and when I was a teen they believed I had Lyme disease then they changed it to children’s rheumatoid arthritis. Then in my late 20’s they diagnosed me with Ankylosing Spondylitis But I looked Fibromyalgia and I have almost all the symptoms. I wonder if that Lyme Disease triggered fibromyalgia and I’ve been undiagnosed? 🤔
@@Homer-OJ-Simpson Completely possible. It is so underdiagnosed because the standard test has to be run at just the right time before the bacteria hide in your organs and joints out of the bloodstream. If you can find a functional med doctor who will write a script for the IgeneX testing it can help- check out their website and give them a call I think they are pretty helpful.
@@Homer-OJ-Simpson Looks like my two replies to you were deleted? sorry, not sure what I did wrong - but anyway you can search for Burrascano lyme checklist to find more info! Hope you find answers and healing!
@@Homer-OJ-Simpson Not sure who or why my responses to you are all being blocked/deleted. Super weird censorship? I didn't say anything controversial at all.
You have challenges to overcome in more than one aspect or your lives. But I believe both of you are superb successful individuals that are so well educated and versed even though you are in a rough patch of your lives you will overcome!!
We missed you guys and I thought about y’all last week. Hey life can throw some curves balls, so no need to apologize for having to take a break to deal with life. You two are such a beautiful couple and I love that you are supporting each other. Sending support and prayers your way. 🙏🏿
I've been searching for you and my thought's were something like this was happening. But you're still with us, you're still together. Take care of yourself Jennie. Heath is most important. Thank you for sharing. If ever in San Miguel de Allende you're bienvenidos. Andrew
I’m happy to see you guys. Thanks for sharing your journey, wishing you the best and Jenny hopefully some reprieve from your symptoms. Take your time to feel better, hugs!! 🤗🤗
15:07 YT recommended you a few weeks ago. So sorry I’m new here. What business are you guys thinking of opening. I just started to watch your latest videos. So I’m back tracking on the history of the channel
Seems that through all the turbulence, God showed you guys the answer you were looking for in terms of where to settle down. Sending positive vibes your way!!
Wishing You both lots of health and success in future projects. By the way thanks to your video about Atlixco and our Airbnb we had a guest from Florida USA who was following your trip around Veracruz and puebla. Thank You and keep well. See you again maybe in puerto escondido. Kisses and hugs
You guys should start buiding in puerto escondido, traveling back and forth to different places requires mucho dinero, stop throwing your money away and focus on your puerto Escondido project. Which is where you guys will end in the near future. Forget about coming back to Chicago. You guys started something good in Mexico, and i m pretty sure your future has a bright and beautiful ending. Saludos desde chicago.
I appreciate your well-intended advice! Though, we could never just forget about Chicago 🥲 our family, people we love are there and we want to stay in their lives. We want to take care of them when they’re in need. One dream investment at a time. We finally accomplished our goal of buying a home in the US and next will be our dream home and business in Mexico. Baby steps. In between, we need some self care before we are ready to get to WORK 🫶🏻 that beautiful future is in the making and we’re not in a hurry to get there 🌈💖
Deseandoles todo lo mejor! Y sobretodo que estes llena de salud Jenny! Kuddos to Kevin for being a supportive husband and being there for you! Remember that this too shall pass and that better days are ahead! Un abrazo para los dos.😊😊😊
Sorry to hear that your health has been bothering you, I haven't been back to your channel in a few months as I have been dealing with various projects. I am so happy that you guys are moving to Colombia, if the body needs it then its a must do! Also I am extremely excited to hear you guys bought some land in Puerto Escondido, the buying process can be a cool video in of itself! I can't wait to see what the future will hold :D
I hope everything is going smoothly with your and Jenny’s family. I know there are some alternative treatments for fibromyalgia in Mexico that have helped a lot of people!! I also split my time between cdmx and puerto 🤠
My best wishes to you both! Take care of yourselves first…health is most important. I have been dealing with continuing nerve pain since 2014 and one thing that you may want to try is ACCUPUNTURE….that saved me, my condition is much more controlled…along with anti-flammatory diet, I have an improved life, can travel and dance again! Try to find a good specialist to help you…it takes time to find one, then once the treatment works for you….you can do it every other week session for maintenance. It made a huge difference for me and hope it does to you too! Take care, Lilian
buena suerte amigos yo los acompaño hasta colombia como chingaos no no me pierdo ninguno de sus videos bendiciones y que todo se arregle pronto buena vibra para ustedes dos🙂
I found a lot of remission from my chronic fatigue and fibro using intermittent fasting. I'll never be 100% but I'll take being 70-80% now rather than being in bed/wiped out and in so much pain. Good luck on your healing journey. I find that the quieter and more in nature my life is the better I feel, too. We are living in the small town of Santa Maria del Tule, Oaxaca right now and we take our RV down to the beaches in the wintertime.
Intermittent fasting helped me heal my chronic issues too! Best practice when done right. Some people take it too far and have issues crop up from it...ask me how I know lol I've learned to be careful with my hormonal health around IF
Yes, I've experimented with fasting, too. I try to do at least one 24 hour fast per month. I've done 48-60 hour ones this year. And regularly intermittent fast. It helps me control sugar and carb intake since I fill up on veggies and protein and fruit during the eating hours.
So sorry to hear! Have you had tried "cash for keys" to try to get rid of the person out of the home? May things begin to look better the rest of 2024!
We considered that but quickly crossed it out. We’d rather let the legal system run its course rather than reward them for their misbehavior. I know that can be a favorable option for others though.
Jenny, I feel you in many ways. I also have fibromylagia and lupus. Having a very clean and pure eating lifestyle, yoga, meditation, and nasal breathing techniques have helped me. And of course grounding on the beach or grass is healing for me too. I'm also a Mexican-American girl from California with dual citizenship who dreams of buying a home in my parents' native land of Mexico. I'm ready to buy/invest in Puerto Escondido now, but how do I convince my husband who loves traveling to resorts in Mexico, but who has reservations about living there with our baby? Que Dios los bendiga! 🙏🏼
😮💨 sorry to hear you can relate! But those are all good practices and I’m glad you have a routine. Has your hubbie been to PE? He needs to experience it for himself so he can see the vibe and opportunities. I know of another 🇲🇽🇺🇸 girl with 2 small kids born and raising them in PE and she’s loving it. Muchas gracias por tus lindas palabras. Sending you all the healing vibes ✨
I am so sorry you are dealing with this! I can sympathize because I have had severe tension headaches for a couple of weeks, and it is SO debilitating! All I can do is sleep and cancel all my plans. And then add onto that these legal problems AND needing to plan your next move. I hope you can trust in the universe that everything will work out in due time. Sometimes you have no control, so you just have to move forward and let life unfold. Love you both. All I can say is, don't move to Lake Chapala. It has been horrible this month and the lake is at about 30% capacity. I'm looking at San Cristobal de las Casas. Post when you can, but I just look forward to whatever you do whenever you can.
Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry to hear about your headaches 🤕 it’s so difficult to do anything with a headache. I’m doing spiritual work as well and the universe certainly has my trust. Thanks so much for your kind words, Tamara 🫶🏻
San Cristobal is great, just take extra extra precautions with the water and food there. People often get quite sick there. We love SanCris, but got an awful intestinal infection while we were there last 😣
Be careful, burnout is a real thing, and feeling energetic and adventurous is great but R&R is also incredibly beneficial to our mind and body. I wish only the very best for you both. I grew up in La Villita in Chitown in the 60' and 70's. Having family in Cicero and Berwyn and the near western burbs. Again, I wish you guys nothing but love, health and happiness, you're by far my favorite you tube couple. Lo deseo lo mejor, Tio Rafa..
Lo mejor para ustedes 2. Los extraño y los extrañaré na vez, snif snif snif, se vayan para Colombia. Todo sea por la salud y el bienestar de los dos. Regresen pronto.
Solo necesitamos playita y baile para alimentar el alma para poder regresar al 💯 y listos para seguir pa delante! Muchas gracias por tu ánimo 🙏🏽 bendiciones ✨
We’re always here for you guys, whether you’re posting or not and we hope you know you can always hit us up even if you just need to vent, laugh, whatever. We love you guys!
I wish you nothing but success as you continue to move forward through some challenging times! You got this! Jenny, I hope your health improves and you start feeling much better! Whatever you do and wherever you end up, I'm here and will continue to be here. QUE DIOS LOS BENDIGA HOY Y SIEMPRE!!! ❤😎
I’m so sorry you guys are dealing with this. You don’t need to apologize for not being able to share content-your health is priority! We support you guys and appreciate the contest that you do share with us ❤ Wishing you all the best!!
I have chronic fatigue syndrome and I 100% relate, it's just the absolute worst, I really feel for you. I wanted to spend time in Mexico City but I feel like I would feel similarly there. I love Puerto Escondido too and I'm excited to see you guys' adventures there, love to you guys!💗
I love Mexico City, however I found the altitude took its toll on me. I fatigued to quickly. I had wanted to live there full time pero no puedo, I’ve lived at sea level all my life, never farther than twenty miles from the ocean . I hope the coast helps you heal Jenny. Salt water, sand and sun are rejuvenating 💫
I love CDMX but it can be a stressful place with pollution, high altitude/thin atmosphere, millions of people all over, and the need to travel long distances (among many other stressors). That stress I am sure does not help the body. Take care of yourselves and thank you for always striving to make such fun and honest content that shows your lives on this great adventure! Mucha suerte, cuidense, y esperaremos el proximo video cuando esten listos para compartirlo. I can't wait!
Wishing y'all success and happiness in your upcoming journey! A virtual hug to Jenny. Dios aprieta pero no ahorca. Take a much deserved break and we will be here when you get back and look forward to the new adventure.
I left Mexico Tenochtitlan when I was 15. I'm in my 40's now. and I find a struggle to commute. Is not impossible! but the city is a totally different monster and it does take a LOT OF ENERGY. It helps that I have lots of uncles and cousin but still. I totally understand the feeling! Hechenle ganas muchachos, sigan en su propia guerra florida! Tenchikawak, fuerza guerrera!
Thank you for uploading this update, it's nice to hear what's been going on. I'm working on my dual citizenship finally and should be done in a few weeks. 🎉 Also, as far as helping being from an immigrant family, I'm really lucky that my parents are financially savvy despite being low income. I've gained additional financial literacy because of them. Best wishes in the road ahead. 😊
You are such an amazing and loving couple, I wish we were neighbors and friends. Thank you for your openess and be assured, wherever you go, you will have faithful friends you can reach out to any time.
Oh man, I'm sorry to hear you're struggling so much with your fibromylagia. Mine has improved since moving to Mexico (mine is triggered by stress and the cold, but mostly the cold, which is why I think it improved). I'm interested in swimming for exercise too (I haven't seriously looked b/c I'm too poor now, but the one place I saw was also VERY expensive, like 4x what gyms are in the US). Anyway, I get it; I usually can't function after 8-9 pm. In regards to your furniture, maybe your landlord would buy it from you so they can rent it as furnished?
Glad to hear you’ve felt improvement! I’d made progress for some time, and then life threw these curveballs and I’m struggling again I’m hopefully things will get better for me again. I do yoga and light pilates and that helps some. That’s a good idea!
I am so sorry about how you're feeling, Jenny. Some years ago I was sick with Lyme Disease for a long time and so I can relate. One of the hardest things I experienced was people sayng, "but you LOOK fine!" I imagine you know all about that. It seems obvious that CDMX would require a lot of energy. It is just so huge and so much going on, for better or worse... I was expecting the announcement re: Puerto Escondido! Excited for you and hope that Colombia is awesome. Have you investigated San Angel yet? The market there is wonderful and like Coyoacan it has that small neighborhood feel. Abrazos to both of you.
Do what's best for your health. Im sending good energy your way. Ill buy you guys tacos someday wherever you are. I'll be in cdmx in July and Puerto Escondido first week of August. Hope a good result happens soon for your home in chicago. Life happens and you will bless us with new content when you are healthy and it feels right.
Life can get rough, I know that too well. Both of y'all are good for each other from what I can vibe. Keep it in prayer . No hay nada en este mundo qué no podamos solucionar. ❤
You are a good team. I like that you're good at making short-term and long-term decisions that benefit you both. Rough patches don't last forever. Legal issues eventually end. Your health is what's most important. Take care.
We wish you both all best in life and in health. Sending you good vibes and good spirits. Take care friend, cheers from 2 Canucks living in Mexico! ✌🏽💖
Have you considered marijuana? I have a primo that has fibromyalgia too and when it acts up he does some and says that it really helps him. Something to consider and it’s legal in Mexico.
It helps sometimes. With the muscles aches, not so much with the headaches. As soon as the high wears off, so does the minor analgesic effect. It’s not sustainable for me to be high all the time 😏
Jenny, so it is true that the beach helps fibromyalgia. Soft massage daily helps also. I take gabapentin 300mg 5 per day. I did get off of it but...I got right back on it. Stress has a lot to do with the pain you also end up getting flares, which means its hard to wake up in the morning. What I don't like the most is the fatigue 😢
We have some things in common. I was hesitant to comment, bc I understand how easily misunderstanding occurs. Still... The pains in the body, do this: 1) Take/remove as much, eventually all (over months, years) the stress out of your body. In "real world" terms, rest. Rest alot. Don't judge whether you should or shouldn't rest, let your body and mind communicate more clearly (over months) what it needs. I sarted by taking 10-30 mg of melatonin gummies whenever I could hear/feel my body wanting rest, but my mind not "allowing" the rest. Search, listen to 528 Mhz pure tones(not the ones combined with sounds of nature, water etc) on repeat for hours. As loudly as you can for as long as you can, too loud for comfort, turn down volume a little, find your sweet spot between hearing it and drifting to sleep with it. Set your alarm clocks as little as possible. Missed a thing bc resting? No problem. Your body is more important than the worlds noise which acts to distract you/me/us from real valuable understandings. When your hungry, eat what you crave, don't complicate too much. Not hungry, don't eat. Not sure? Pause until sure, knowing there's no right or wrong answer. All of this is like the example of putting on your oxygen mask before helping the person next to you, a fantastic example but one that few people actually practice (took me years). 2) The rent/house situation, do this: Do what you can, but more importantly don't overextend. This would be like putting "their" oxygen mask on b4 putting on your own. Sure, they may benefit greatly from your sacrifice...but it's all in vain when you've sacrificed your real joy and happiness out of some misguided sense that "that's what families do to uphold/show respect." The greatest respect should be to your own lives and labors, a truly kind and authentic person (family or otherwise) will understand this. If they can't/won't, then there's bigger issues beneath the surface beyond familial duties etc. (this took me decades to learn) 3) Activity, do this: A blu tooth speaker, some wine/juice/water, an open space in whichever locale (cocina, sala, garage, spare room, etc) Don't complicate it. You already enjoy each others company, just add to that however possible. Dance until it hurts, 7 minutes and 13 seconds? Great! If you love dancing, it's better than 0 min. Next time, maybe you notice 15 min, then 22, then 34, etc. 4) Do all of this consistently with as few expectations as possible. Stay open and apply intention. Pay attention but don't be critical, especially with each other. Yourselves and each other, little else is a necessary. This will not feel like it fits for some time, but if you just keep going...💯
We have missed you on video but it's important to take care of yourselves first. That's a bummer about the squatter in your new place in Chicago. Take care of yourselves first. We'll still be here when you do put out videos. -Marc
Hi guys, I'm so sorry you are having such a ruff flair up. I totally feel for you as I have been experiencing the worst fibro flair up in years. Like you there have been lots of tears and days I just feel like screaming cause I just can't take it. I really wish I could find a good Dr. here in CDMX who understands Fibromyalgia and Chronic fatigue. I really wish I could go back to Cali ( I do love Mexico ) but all my family is in California and being alone with this excruciating pain has been very difficult. Hang in there mija. I know its difficult, I've been dealing with this for 25 yrs. better days are coming. Take Care of each other.😊 PS: Hopefully we can meet up before you all leave.
Thanks! Went to high school in Deerfield, and our Spanish teacher, Señor Carvajal, would take us to a restaurant in Highwood, IL to test our skills. I have a Mexico trip in October and your videos offer inspiration to connect with locals in Puerto Vallarta at food bank.
Which restaurant in highwood?
Very cool!
The amount of joy I experience upon seeing your uploads! Sending you healing thoughts your way, Jenny. You both deserve nothing short of the very best. I eagerly await future updates and the next chapter in you and Kevin’s lives. Thank you for all that you both do to make our days better!
Aw, Thanks so much for you kind words 🥰 muchas bendiciones para ti ✨
Thanks for always being so transparent with your lives and yes, I miss all the adventures you share with us on a weekly basis. Can't wait for Colombia!!!
Thanks for your kind words, Glenda 🙏🏽💖
Hope you guys find what you guys are looking for both physically and mentally! Good luck in Colombia and can’t wait for you guys to find your forever home in Escondido! 😀
Thanks so much 🙏🏽
My friend was born and raised in California and also has fibromyalgia. Her and her husband sold their home and bought a home in the Yucatán peninsula. She is now thriving their and says she attributes it to the weather, swimming in the salty ocean and having less stress. Maybe it’s something you might benefit from as well. I too know how debilitating something like this can be . Wishing you the best of everything ❤
Saltwater has wonderful healing properties 🌊✨ glad it’s helped her! And thanks so much for your kind words. Bendiciones
I was in Mexico City about a week ago (in Miguel Hidalgo as well) and the altitude and pollution were somewhat overwhelming. I found that as I was walking the streets, I had to stop and get some rest every 30 minutes or so. So I can see why it's taking a toll on you guys. I wish you all the best.
Same here. My wife and I, both 70, visited recently. The altitude and pollution were tough to deal with.
Living in any big city in the world is stressful, that why I live in small towns now
That's why I go there only in the fall and winter. I used to visit throughout the year but now that my girlfriend from Mexico city and I split, no more walking around in an outdoor sauna lol.
Yea, and while the altitude is something you can get used to over time, pollution, not so much
Wishing the best for both of you! I think getting out of the city and, close to the ocean will help your body relax. So much stress is taxing to the body, soul, and, mind.
Sending you positive and healing thoughts. 💕🫶Thanks!
Muchísimas gracias 🙏🏽🥹 we will go out for some nice coffee today thanks to you and I will toast to your health! ☕️💖
@@EatBailaTravel Enjoy and thank you! 🫶💕
Dear Jenny I know a little on how you are feeling , I have terminal Pancreatic Cancer and for the last few months it has taken a lot out of me , I get tired uch foster and its taking me much longer to recover and the only thing I can tell you is this Take Care Of You you've got your self a good man who loves you so you know your not alone do what you need tofeel better and know that there a old grumpy geengo from Ohio praying for you❤
My wife and I are based in Cali, Colombia and are visiting CDMX for a few months. We’ll be praying for you both and if you ever feel up for going dancing before you leave, let us know! :)
Hey there! How cool, we’d love to meet up for a night of salsa! We tried going recently but it didn’t go too well. We returned home before making it to place because I wasn’t feeling well. And the second time, we actually made it! But returned home after only a few songs because the pain and fatigue were too much 😞 we’re still taking life more slowly these days and miss dancing so so much
So much love for you two!! Cheers for staying strong, keeping it all in perspective and doing life together. You’re an inspiration!
Thanks so much for your kind words 🙏🏽🫶🏻 sending blessings your way ✨
Can’t wait to see you eating, bailando and traveling in Puerto Escondido! We’ll wait patiently hoping you feel better each day and that you will soon be doing all the things you love again! Love you guys 🫶🏼
Thank you, Kelly! 🙏🏽💖
Glad you’re moving towards Puerto Escondido. Im sure being out of the polution will help !
We’ve definitely felt much better in the months that we’ve lived there in the past! Looking forward to going back and settling there 😊
You two are such sweethearts. You brought us so much joy within minutes of meeting you. Sending lots of love and positive energy. This too you will get through
Thank you so much for your kind worlds 🥹🫶🏻 sending blessings ✨
Thanks for the update. I am sorry your health has been a struggle lately, Jenny. I am glad you are both doing self-care. You are two it the kindest and most authentic people I have met and I believe good things are right around the corner for you ❤
Your health is first, take care. I have a cousin with fibromyalgia and changing her eating habits has helped. Mostly no gluten or sugar , you may want to look into that. I wish you all the best
Definitely! I focus on an anti-inflammatory diet, and it’s tough to cut out sweets completely because I love dessert, but I do limit it. I took a food sensitivity test and gluten is okay for me, according to that test. I’ve also tried the keto diet and it only gave me minimal improvement with fibro symptoms
I keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Kevin mentioning Orizaba 3 years ago led to us exploring this part of Veracruz and moving to Córdoba. Our lives have improved immensely with this move. Thank you for sharing with us and being a positive force in the world. Un fuerte abrazo.
HI! We remember you being as one of our very first subscribers, we hope you are doing well. We wish you the best, saludos!
I've gone through something similar, my heart goes out to you. It is brutal being that sick! Intermittent fasting and working with a functional medicine doctor were the keys to my healing. Cannabis was a life saver too if you can get quality medicine! The mother plant is the biggest blessing to those going through chronic pain and fatigue. Wishing you the best!
Happy for your new home in Chicago. I hope everything gets better and you guys keep posting awesome videos.
Thanks so much!!
May God bless you with great health. Congrats on your new home! First video, but I’ll check back in.
Thanks so much! The real celebration will be once we get the squatters out and can move our family in 🥲
Sad to hear of all the struggles, you`ll come out of it strong. With lots of people putting out content that presents the perfect life it refreshing to hear from truthful and authentic people. Appreciate your sincerity and continue to love your videos, the fun, exciting and even the struggles. We were in Puebla and Veracruz a couple of weeks ago and stopped by Centro Historico in DF before flying back to Chicago. Puebla is amazing and its on our places to move to. DF is a big challenge and you guys have done it so well. All the best to you both, it will all work out positively.
Thanks so much for your kind words 🙏🏽
Puebla is great! Glad you enjoyed it.
Big hugs to you guys! It will get better. Excited for the PE move. The surf is amazing there too.
I would love to learn to surf!
Sending you both peace and healing 🙏 Thank you for sharing yourselves with us, but ultimately, you come 1st.
Thank you, Lisa 💖
Love your videos.. I can very much relate to your struggles but jealous at the same time. My Spanish is nowhere as good..and not sure I’d be open to visiting outside the confines of Jalisco where I’m
More familiar with..
I feel you. My Spanish was noticeably less 10 years ago than what it is now. I took courses to improve and have continued to watch movies and read books in Spanish to keep building my vocabulary and fluency. It’s not easy at all. But I’d encourage you to keep at it!
Have you guys every tried Cuernavaca Morelos its close to Mexico City and a lot of people have pools and very nice weather and if you have an emergency you can get to Chicago quick.
We’ve visited but haven’t spent much time there. I’m sure it’s lovely to live in
Jenny, I am so proud of you for making the har decisions. Your health is the main focus and I know that you will be feeling better super soon. I trust that. You guys have an amazing bond and that will get you thru anything. I am glad to see you both. I can't wait to hear and see more of you going forward. Much love
Sorry for the troubles you've had in the past weeks and months. I always enjoy your content and look forward to more from Mexico City and beyond. I'm actually going to be in CDMX in early July. Who knows? Maybe our paths will cross. All the best to you as you move forward and continue to deal with the challenges life has thrown you.
Hope you are doing well. Hope you're back at Puerto Escondido so you can start feeling better.
Hola Juanita! Thanks so much for your message. We’ve got some things to deal with before we can get to PE… soon!
Sending good vibes your way!
Thanks, Dan! Hope you’re doing well, amigo
I've been checking for your vids on Sundays, today I found one! We all love you guys and wish you nothing but the best. You move to Columbia, we follow. Prayers and healing vibes coming your way, Jenny. It's awful that you are going through rough times, and at the same time wonderful that you were able to help your family, Jenny. You aren't the bad guy, that person is for behaving the way that they have, what you did was necessary and it's great that you are strong enough to do it. Please give updates on how things are going with your former employer. 🥰
🥹gosh, thank you so much. You have no idea how uplifting your words are for us!
And things are slowly moving along. We’re discussing a settlement to avoid going to court, but nothing concrete yet
🥹gosh, thank you so much. You have no idea how uplifting your words are for us!

Do what you need to do. We're not going anywhere. You're stuck with us. Love you guys!
You’re so sweet 🥹🫶🏻❤️ thanks so much.
1st, Kevin is awesome for helping Jenny family.
2nd, Jenny, you may have helped me out tremendously. You talking about Fibromyalgia and talking about some symptoms made me look it up because it sounds a lot like my experiences. When looking up all the symptoms, I matched the vast majority. I’ve had arthritis since i was a teen though not diagnosed until I was near 30. I’m constantly fatigue, have insomnia, I’m always hurting all over, I have stomach issues, I’m constantly having focus issues (I also have ADHD and the insomnia and fatigue make it worse), etc. so it’s something I will be looking into with my doctor
I love to travel but when I’m hurting, it becomes far more difficult. Even in Chicago, if it’s not near my home and I have to go to neighborhoods further away, it can really wear me down if I’m in that “bad physical mood” either from fatigue or pain. I was in Mexico City last year and I can relate to the pain of moving around in a big city like CDMX with all the pain the fatigue
I have missed you guys
We are coming back 7/28!!!!
Jenny- undiagnosed Lyme disease is often the trigger for fibro (and other things like MS) . I’d highly recommend looking into testing with IgeneX labs in the USA. Have to pay out of pocket since mainstream med just has no clue when it comes to diagnosing and treating Lyme disease. The word fibromyalgia only describes symptoms (muscle pain), but there is always a cause. Praying you feel better soon- I have chronic Lyme and fibro symptoms all the time as well (I’m 58) but a good Lyme literate doctor (LLMD) can help alot .
Well this is interesting. I’m early 40’s and when I was a teen they believed I had Lyme disease then they changed it to children’s rheumatoid arthritis. Then in my late 20’s they diagnosed me with Ankylosing Spondylitis
But I looked Fibromyalgia and I have almost all the symptoms. I wonder if that Lyme Disease triggered fibromyalgia and I’ve been undiagnosed? 🤔
@@Homer-OJ-Simpson Completely possible. It is so underdiagnosed because the standard test has to be run at just the right time before the bacteria hide in your organs and joints out of the bloodstream. If you can find a functional med doctor who will write a script for the IgeneX testing it can help- check out their website and give them a call I think they are pretty helpful.
@@Homer-OJ-Simpson Looks like my two replies to you were deleted? sorry, not sure what I did wrong - but anyway you can search for Burrascano lyme checklist to find more info! Hope you find answers and healing!
@@Homer-OJ-Simpson Not sure who or why my responses to you are all being blocked/deleted. Super weird censorship? I didn't say anything controversial at all.
tried el salvador and guatemala too
Would love to visit these places some day
Want to send some positive vibes and energy your way!! Love your videos and I look forward for what comes up next!
Thank you so much!! Saludos
You have challenges to overcome in more than one aspect or your lives. But I believe both of you are superb successful individuals that are so well educated and versed even though you are in a rough patch of your lives you will overcome!!
We appreciate your kind words! 🙏🏽
We missed you guys and I thought about y’all last week. Hey life can throw some curves balls, so no need to apologize for having to take a break to deal with life. You two are such a beautiful couple and I love that you are supporting each other. Sending support and prayers your way. 🙏🏿
I've been searching for you and my thought's were something like this was happening. But you're still with us, you're still together. Take care of yourself Jennie. Heath is most important. Thank you for sharing. If ever in San Miguel de Allende you're bienvenidos. Andrew
Thank you so much for your kind words, Andrew🥹❤️🫂
I’m happy to see you guys. Thanks for sharing your journey, wishing you the best and Jenny hopefully some reprieve from your symptoms. Take your time to feel better, hugs!! 🤗🤗
15:07 YT recommended you a few weeks ago. So sorry I’m new here. What business are you guys thinking of opening. I just started to watch your latest videos. So I’m back tracking on the history of the channel
Seems that through all the turbulence, God showed you guys the answer you were looking for in terms of where to settle down. Sending positive vibes your way!!
Thanks so much for your kind words 🙏🏽 bendiciones ✨
That’s a long time to wait but I will. Hope everything works out and that Jenny gets better. We will miss you guys
that's how I feel when I have to wait a whole year for the next season of a show I really like. Did we just do that to y'all? 🤭😆
Sending y'all so much love and continued healing 💖 may these upcoming months be filled with joy, abundance, and hopefully some dancing 💃🏽
Sending you both a big hug 💜 and a healing vibes your way, Jenny.
Muchas gracias 💖🫂
Wishing You both lots of health and success in future projects. By the way thanks to your video about Atlixco and our Airbnb we had a guest from Florida USA who was following your trip around Veracruz and puebla. Thank You and keep well. See you again maybe in puerto escondido. Kisses and hugs
You guys should start buiding in puerto escondido, traveling back and forth to different places requires mucho dinero, stop throwing your money away and focus on your puerto Escondido project. Which is where you guys will end in the near future.
Forget about coming back to Chicago. You guys started something good in Mexico, and i m pretty sure your future has a bright and beautiful ending.
Saludos desde chicago.
I appreciate your well-intended advice! Though, we could never just forget about Chicago 🥲 our family, people we love are there and we want to stay in their lives. We want to take care of them when they’re in need. One dream investment at a time. We finally accomplished our goal of buying a home in the US and next will be our dream home and business in Mexico. Baby steps. In between, we need some self care before we are ready to get to WORK 🫶🏻 that beautiful future is in the making and we’re not in a hurry to get there 🌈💖
Stay strong!! There will always be bumps on the road and ups and downs. I enjoy your posts and hope you can get back on your feet ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Deseandoles todo lo mejor! Y sobretodo que estes llena de salud Jenny! Kuddos to Kevin for being a supportive husband and being there for you! Remember that this too shall pass and that better days are ahead! Un abrazo para los dos.😊😊😊
Agradezco tus lindas palabras 🫶🏻❤️
Colombia!! Felicidades! Un capitulo nuevo!!!
Muchas gracias! Adoramos Colombia 🇨🇴 y nos nutre el alma ❤️🩹💖
Good to have another video from you two. Best of luck to the too of you.
Thanks so much!
How do we all help you?
by you simply asking, helps so much to know we have so much support and positive vibes from such a great community. Thanks so much 🙏🏽
Sorry to hear that your health has been bothering you, I haven't been back to your channel in a few months as I have been dealing with various projects. I am so happy that you guys are moving to Colombia, if the body needs it then its a must do! Also I am extremely excited to hear you guys bought some land in Puerto Escondido, the buying process can be a cool video in of itself! I can't wait to see what the future will hold :D
I hope everything is going smoothly with your and Jenny’s family. I know there are some alternative treatments for fibromyalgia in Mexico that have helped a lot of people!! I also split my time between cdmx and puerto 🤠
I appreciate your well wishes, Vince!
Ask your doctor about LDN for fibromyalgia. Low dose naltrexone. Great for chronic pain and fatigue.
Ohhh okay I will look into it thanks so much!!
My best wishes to you both! Take care of yourselves first…health is most important. I have been dealing with continuing nerve pain since 2014 and one thing that you may want to try is ACCUPUNTURE….that saved me, my condition is much more controlled…along with anti-flammatory diet, I have an improved life, can travel and dance again! Try to find a good specialist to help you…it takes time to find one, then once the treatment works for you….you can do it every other week session for maintenance. It made a huge difference for me and hope it does to you too! Take care, Lilian
buena suerte amigos yo los acompaño hasta colombia como chingaos no no me pierdo ninguno de sus videos bendiciones y que todo se arregle pronto buena vibra para ustedes dos🙂
Ayyy qué lindo amigo eres de verdad 🥹🥰 muchas gracias por tus buenas vibras ✨🫂 te mandamos un abrazo
Cool videos! I’m learning a lot. Keep up the good job!
Glad to hear it! Thanks so much
Also might want to consider el puerto de Veracruz it is more affordable
We do love Veracruz
I found a lot of remission from my chronic fatigue and fibro using intermittent fasting. I'll never be 100% but I'll take being 70-80% now rather than being in bed/wiped out and in so much pain. Good luck on your healing journey. I find that the quieter and more in nature my life is the better I feel, too.
We are living in the small town of Santa Maria del Tule, Oaxaca right now and we take our RV down to the beaches in the wintertime.
Intermittent fasting helped me heal my chronic issues too! Best practice when done right. Some people take it too far and have issues crop up from it...ask me how I know lol I've learned to be careful with my hormonal health around IF
Yes, I've experimented with fasting, too. I try to do at least one 24 hour fast per month. I've done 48-60 hour ones this year. And regularly intermittent fast. It helps me control sugar and carb intake since I fill up on veggies and protein and fruit during the eating hours.
So sorry to hear! Have you had tried "cash for keys" to try to get rid of the person out of the home? May things begin to look better the rest of 2024!
We considered that but quickly crossed it out. We’d rather let the legal system run its course rather than reward them for their misbehavior. I know that can be a favorable option for others though.
Jenny, I feel you in many ways. I also have fibromylagia and lupus. Having a very clean and pure eating lifestyle, yoga, meditation, and nasal breathing techniques have helped me. And of course grounding on the beach or grass is healing for me too. I'm also a Mexican-American girl from California with dual citizenship who dreams of buying a home in my parents' native land of Mexico. I'm ready to buy/invest in Puerto Escondido now, but how do I convince my husband who loves traveling to resorts in Mexico, but who has reservations about living there with our baby? Que Dios los bendiga! 🙏🏼
😮💨 sorry to hear you can relate! But those are all good practices and I’m glad you have a routine.
Has your hubbie been to PE? He needs to experience it for himself so he can see the vibe and opportunities. I know of another 🇲🇽🇺🇸 girl with 2 small kids born and raising them in PE and she’s loving it.
Muchas gracias por tus lindas palabras. Sending you all the healing vibes ✨
I am so sorry you are dealing with this! I can sympathize because I have had severe tension headaches for a couple of weeks, and it is SO debilitating! All I can do is sleep and cancel all my plans. And then add onto that these legal problems AND needing to plan your next move. I hope you can trust in the universe that everything will work out in due time. Sometimes you have no control, so you just have to move forward and let life unfold. Love you both. All I can say is, don't move to Lake Chapala. It has been horrible this month and the lake is at about 30% capacity. I'm looking at San Cristobal de las Casas. Post when you can, but I just look forward to whatever you do whenever you can.
Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry to hear about your headaches 🤕 it’s so difficult to do anything with a headache. I’m doing spiritual work as well and the universe certainly has my trust. Thanks so much for your kind words, Tamara 🫶🏻
San Cristobal is great, just take extra extra precautions with the water and food there. People often get quite sick there. We love SanCris, but got an awful intestinal infection while we were there last 😣
Good luck with everything guys, I bet it has been a lot to go through, but we are excited to follow along for all of it! ❤❤
Gracias, linda Matangi 🫂 hugs to you and Brian!
Be careful, burnout is a real thing, and feeling energetic and adventurous is great but R&R is also incredibly beneficial to our mind and body. I wish only the very best for you both. I grew up in La Villita in Chitown in the 60' and 70's. Having family in Cicero and Berwyn and the near western burbs. Again, I wish you guys nothing but love, health and happiness, you're by far my favorite you tube couple. Lo deseo lo mejor, Tio Rafa..
Definitely. We care too much about this channel and each other to let burnout get the best of us. We appreciate you, Tío Rafa 🤗✨
Lo mejor para ustedes 2. Los extraño y los extrañaré na vez, snif snif snif, se vayan para Colombia. Todo sea por la salud y el bienestar de los dos. Regresen pronto.
Solo necesitamos playita y baile para alimentar el alma para poder regresar al 💯 y listos para seguir pa delante! Muchas gracias por tu ánimo 🙏🏽 bendiciones ✨
We’re always here for you guys, whether you’re posting or not and we hope you know you can always hit us up even if you just need to vent, laugh, whatever. We love you guys!
We miss you guys! Looking forward to crossing paths again soon.
I wish you nothing but success as you continue to move forward through some challenging times! You got this! Jenny, I hope your health improves and you start feeling much better! Whatever you do and wherever you end up, I'm here and will continue to be here. QUE DIOS LOS BENDIGA HOY Y SIEMPRE!!! ❤😎
I’m so sorry you guys are dealing with this. You don’t need to apologize for not being able to share content-your health is priority! We support you guys and appreciate the contest that you do share with us ❤ Wishing you all the best!!
A veces la vida cobra fractura y pasamos momentos difíciles. Cosas buenas están por venir. Yo les deseo lo mejor y mucho éxito.
Así es amigo.. muchas gracias. Bendiciones ✨
I have chronic fatigue syndrome and I 100% relate, it's just the absolute worst, I really feel for you. I wanted to spend time in Mexico City but I feel like I would feel similarly there. I love Puerto Escondido too and I'm excited to see you guys' adventures there, love to you guys!💗
Best of luck to you both. Hopefully Jenny gets better. Always look forward to ur new videos. No matter what ur up to.
so kind of you thank you 🙏🏽
I love Mexico City, however I found the altitude took its toll on me. I fatigued to quickly. I had wanted to live there full time pero no puedo, I’ve lived at sea level all my life, never farther than twenty miles from the ocean . I hope the coast helps you heal Jenny. Salt water, sand and sun are rejuvenating 💫
Yea, I think my body is meant for the coast, too. Thanks for your kind words 🙏🏽 bendiciones ✨
All the best to you guys! See you in Puerto Escondido.
Thank you! Hope you’re doing well! It was great to meet you that one time!
Dios me los bendiga!!
Muchas gracias 🙏🏽🥹
@@EatBailaTravel Pido a Dios que recuperes tu salud y que esten muy Bien! Los extrano en RUclips!
Que amable agradezco mucho tus buenos deseos 🙏🏽 poco a poco mejorando. Bendiciones para ti y tu familia ✨
We really appreciate your honesty ❤️👍
We appreciate you
I love CDMX but it can be a stressful place with pollution, high altitude/thin atmosphere, millions of people all over, and the need to travel long distances (among many other stressors). That stress I am sure does not help the body. Take care of yourselves and thank you for always striving to make such fun and honest content that shows your lives on this great adventure! Mucha suerte, cuidense, y esperaremos el proximo video cuando esten listos para compartirlo. I can't wait!
🥹 muchísimas gracias. No tienes idea cuanto tus palabras nos levanta el ánimo! 🙏🏽🫶🏻
Wishing y'all success and happiness in your upcoming journey! A virtual hug to Jenny. Dios aprieta pero no ahorca. Take a much deserved break and we will be here when you get back and look forward to the new adventure.
Thank you so much 🙏🏽❤️
I left Mexico Tenochtitlan when I was 15. I'm in my 40's now. and I find a struggle to commute. Is not impossible! but the city is a totally different monster and it does take a LOT OF ENERGY. It helps that I have lots of uncles and cousin but still. I totally understand the feeling! Hechenle ganas muchachos, sigan en su propia guerra florida! Tenchikawak, fuerza guerrera!
✨🫶🏻❤️ muchas gracias por tus lindas palabras. Bendiciones
Un abrazo a los dos, y espero que todo vaya para mejor de ahora en adelante :)
Muchas gracias Amancay, un fuerte abrazo 🫂🥰
Hope you get better soon
I like you both
Muchas gracias 🙏🏽
I think moving to the coast will be good for you. It's great that you already have that land, which most likely would be much more expensive now.
yea definitely! We've felt much healthier in coastal environments
Good luck guys, health first, please take care !
🙏🏽❤️
When is the next video???
Hello my friend, we’re back! 🥳
Thank you for uploading this update, it's nice to hear what's been going on.
I'm working on my dual citizenship finally and should be done in a few weeks. 🎉
Also, as far as helping being from an immigrant family, I'm really lucky that my parents are financially savvy despite being low income. I've gained additional financial literacy because of them.
Best wishes in the road ahead. 😊
Love you guys wish you the best
So kind, thanks so much. Bendiciones para ti
You are such an amazing and loving couple, I wish we were neighbors and friends. Thank you for your openess and be assured, wherever you go, you will have faithful friends you can reach out to any time.
Oh man, I'm sorry to hear you're struggling so much with your fibromylagia. Mine has improved since moving to Mexico (mine is triggered by stress and the cold, but mostly the cold, which is why I think it improved). I'm interested in swimming for exercise too (I haven't seriously looked b/c I'm too poor now, but the one place I saw was also VERY expensive, like 4x what gyms are in the US). Anyway, I get it; I usually can't function after 8-9 pm. In regards to your furniture, maybe your landlord would buy it from you so they can rent it as furnished?
Glad to hear you’ve felt improvement! I’d made progress for some time, and then life threw these curveballs and I’m struggling again I’m hopefully things will get better for me again. I do yoga and light pilates and that helps some.
That’s a good idea!
this will pass -- i appreciate ya'll union and what you're building. keep fighting the good fight. yall are great!
Thanks so much for your kind words 🙏🏽
I am so sorry about how you're feeling, Jenny. Some years ago I was sick with Lyme Disease for a long time and so I can relate. One of the hardest things I experienced was people sayng, "but you LOOK fine!" I imagine you know all about that. It seems obvious that CDMX would require a lot of energy. It is just so huge and so much going on, for better or worse... I was expecting the announcement re: Puerto Escondido! Excited for you and hope that Colombia is awesome. Have you investigated San Angel yet? The market there is wonderful and like Coyoacan it has that small neighborhood feel. Abrazos to both of you.
Do what's best for your health. Im sending good energy your way. Ill buy you guys tacos someday wherever you are. I'll be in cdmx in July and Puerto Escondido first week of August. Hope a good result happens soon for your home in chicago. Life happens and you will bless us with new content when you are healthy and it feels right.
Thanks so much 🥲
Life can get rough, I know that too well. Both of y'all are good for each other from what I can vibe.
Keep it in prayer . No hay nada en este mundo qué no podamos solucionar. ❤
Thanks so much. Y sí, le hechamos ganas
You are a good team. I like that you're good at making short-term and long-term decisions that benefit you both. Rough patches don't last forever. Legal issues eventually end. Your health is what's most important. Take care.
Thank you for your kind words!
I peeped that Joe Arroyo “En Barranquilla me quedo” riff. 😂 🇨🇴 I wish yall all the best and healing. ❤️🩹
😁🇨🇴 thank you!
We wish you both all best in life and in health. Sending you good vibes and good spirits. Take care friend, cheers from 2 Canucks living in Mexico! ✌🏽💖
Muchas gracias, amigos! Saludos
Have you considered marijuana? I have a primo that has fibromyalgia too and when it acts up he does some and says that it really helps him. Something to consider and it’s legal in Mexico.
It helps sometimes. With the muscles aches, not so much with the headaches. As soon as the high wears off, so does the minor analgesic effect. It’s not sustainable for me to be high all the time 😏
Jenny, so it is true that the beach helps fibromyalgia. Soft massage daily helps also. I take gabapentin 300mg 5 per day. I did get off of it but...I got right back on it. Stress has a lot to do with the pain you also end up getting flares, which means its hard to wake up in the morning. What I don't like the most is the fatigue 😢
Jenny, My wife has fibromyalgia and Hashimoto autoimmune disease. Your symptoms sound similar to what she goes through on an almost daily basis.
ouch 😣 wishing her more pain-free and energy-filled, happy days 🙏🏽
We have some things in common. I was hesitant to comment, bc I understand how easily misunderstanding occurs. Still...
The pains in the body, do this:
1) Take/remove as much, eventually all (over months, years) the stress out of your body. In "real world" terms, rest. Rest alot. Don't judge whether you should or shouldn't rest, let your body and mind communicate more clearly (over months) what it needs. I sarted by taking 10-30 mg of melatonin gummies whenever I could hear/feel my body wanting rest, but my mind not "allowing" the rest. Search, listen to 528 Mhz pure tones(not the ones combined with sounds of nature, water etc) on repeat for hours. As loudly as you can for as long as you can, too loud for comfort, turn down volume a little, find your sweet spot between hearing it and drifting to sleep with it. Set your alarm clocks as little as possible. Missed a thing bc resting? No problem. Your body is more important than the worlds noise which acts to distract you/me/us from real valuable understandings. When your hungry, eat what you crave, don't complicate too much. Not hungry, don't eat. Not sure? Pause until sure, knowing there's no right or wrong answer. All of this is like the example of putting on your oxygen mask before helping the person next to you, a fantastic example but one that few people actually practice (took me years).
2) The rent/house situation, do this:
Do what you can, but more importantly don't overextend. This would be like putting "their" oxygen mask on b4 putting on your own. Sure, they may benefit greatly from your sacrifice...but it's all in vain when you've sacrificed your real joy and happiness out of some misguided sense that "that's what families do to uphold/show respect." The greatest respect should be to your own lives and labors, a truly kind and authentic person (family or otherwise) will understand this. If they can't/won't, then there's bigger issues beneath the surface beyond familial duties etc. (this took me decades to learn)
3) Activity, do this: A blu tooth speaker, some wine/juice/water, an open space in whichever locale (cocina, sala, garage, spare room, etc) Don't complicate it. You already enjoy each others company, just add to that however possible. Dance until it hurts, 7 minutes and 13 seconds? Great! If you love dancing, it's better than 0 min. Next time, maybe you notice 15 min, then 22, then 34, etc.
4) Do all of this consistently with as few expectations as possible. Stay open and apply intention. Pay attention but don't be critical, especially with each other. Yourselves and each other, little else is a necessary. This will not feel like it fits for some time, but if you just keep going...💯
We have missed you on video but it's important to take care of yourselves first. That's a bummer about the squatter in your new place in Chicago. Take care of yourselves first. We'll still be here when you do put out videos. -Marc
Thanks you guys. Saludos 🫶🏻
All the best to you guys! Hang in there! Lotsa love.
🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
Hi guys, I'm so sorry you are having such a ruff flair up. I totally feel for you as I have been experiencing the worst fibro flair up in years. Like you there have been lots of tears and days I just feel like screaming cause I just can't take it. I really wish I could find a good Dr. here in CDMX who understands Fibromyalgia and Chronic fatigue. I really wish I could go back to Cali ( I do love Mexico ) but all my family is in California and being alone with this excruciating pain has been very difficult. Hang in there mija. I know its difficult, I've been dealing with this for 25 yrs. better days are coming. Take Care of each other.😊 PS: Hopefully we can meet up before you all leave.
