As a girl “who always has something,” love your content. Reminds me I’m not alone and all of us chronically ill, long Covid, POTS, autoimmune girlies can take up space 💗💗💗
it's wholly unfair and downright cruel how people push back against those dealing with chronic illness simply discussing their experiences. i firmly believe it's just projected fear. plus learned behavior from how our culture as a whole bullies disabled people. i appreciate and respect your decision to discuss it when you feel able to, and regret that you've been told not to. you deserve that space! frankly we all need to make more space for talking about all the grey areas that are inherent to health and having a body. wishing you nothing but the best!
I’m sorry about the health stuff, it’s so frustrating. I literally told my husband 2 days ago “why don’t we have a full body exam to catch everything yet”. The process of PCP to specialist to specialist to specialist is exhausting. I’ve had 4 specialists say the words “something is definitely wrong, but I don’t know what it is”. On to the next specialist. I really hope you can find an answer and feel better soon. 💜
Long time viewer (like, literally well over a decade at this point??), but first time ever leaving a comment. Thank you so much for your clear, descriptive list of health symptoms and concerns. I have been struggling with so much of the similar health 'stuff' and have really been struggling to articulate why it is greatly impacting me. Especially the idea that you don't even like to talk about it too often or with too many people outside of your close circle because you don't want to be viewed as the "sick girl." You have no idea how helpful this video was for me this week -- another round of testing and appointments coming up this week and I feel seen in a way I haven't in so long. Thankful to grow up with your content!
I hope you're able to figure out what's been going on with your health soon. As a fellow chronically ill girl (hEDS), I can empathize with how exhausting it can be. I've been having symptoms similar to what you describe for awhile now. I think mine might be peri-menopause even though I'm only 31. Wishing you the best in this hard time.
meghan, i come to your channel for you. good stuff, health stuff, and and everything you have decided to share with the internet. i just want you to know that it will never be an issue that you are discussing what is happening to you. and as for the people who are trying to put you down about it or saying ignorant things, i hope that they never have to go through a health issue and they are able to grow tf up.
I am very into wheel thrown pottery now and I've been thinking for ages that I reckon you'd love it! But a good teacher who is chill and fun and vibes is a huge part of it. We LOVE the teacher we had for our classes and now we're all friends and it's so freaking great. All that to the say I am obsessed with the adorable magnets. AND THE FIG TOO OMG
thanks for reminding me I need to hang up pictures, I totally lost my confidence in doing so when one of my command hooks in my bedroom just decided to yeet off the wall at 2 AM and sent the frame crashing to the floor. luckily carpet so it didn't break :') your artwork is so beautiful! and hey, listen to your body. I appreciate people who talk about their health issues because it can allow people to come together and share ideas. Don't feel bad for sharing your experiences and hope you are able to get some helpful information soon!
So sorry with your health issues of what you’re going through! I know the feeling ima different aspect I recently had a partial hysterectomy I was diagnosed with having endometriosis and my period didn’t stop for 6 months so this surgery is what I had to do and it’s been heartbreaking on me, no matter what little thing bothers me I always go get checked. Also, your blue hydrates are very pretty and love the painting vibes too with the podcast. & I bet you’re wedding dress is going to be gorgeous💜😊
lol around 10 minutes i had just cut a whole bunch of enoki mushrooms off the base and was audibly gagging because of all the little holes it exposed and then you started talking about the fear of small holes 😂 perfect timing. loving all your recent videos! hope you get some clarity soon with the health stuff. it’s so unsettling not having something to point to /:
Check for Hashimoto's!!!! I had a very similar story where I had a "mystery illness" where they did a spinal tap for meningitis bc that's what they thought it was but it was negative. After a couple of days, they sent me home. But I think it triggered something in my immune system?? I also dealt with dry skin, weight gain, bloating, extreme fatigue, hair loss, etc. See an endocrinologist for this bc when they "check your thyroid" at your general practitioner's office they only test T3 and T4, not your antibodies. I definitely had to fight some doctors to advocate for myself and *of course* I was right. I know you deal with some auto-immune stuff so this all makes sense. I hope you feel better
i know i say this always but I really love your videos and am thankful you make them. they add bits of joy and comfort to my life and today I truly needed it. sending you love and strength on your health journey, I hope you're able to get answers about what's going on
22:05 If the second hand bridal store you’re taking about is Brides For A Cause in San Diego, I highly recommend checking them out! I work at one of the other locations and also purchased my wedding dress from them and can’t say enough good things about my experience and the company itself. 90% of the profits go towards women focused charities across the nation, and the dresses themselves are heavily discounted which is a nice bonus :)
I sincerely loved this sit down and craft content 💛 I hope you’ll come to know that you truly don’t sound complain-y when discussing your health struggles - I think it humanizes us to share the hard moments. And I hope you find some answers soon
I have Trypophobia and it is truly so annoying cause it’s like “girl, holes, really?”. I just get a hebby jeeby feeling rather than a “fear”, but it has been explained to me that things with holes look “unwell”, like fungi, things that are rotting, etc, so it triggers an evolutionary response from when humans were hunter gatherers of “that looks unwell, if you come into contact with it, it might make you sick” and you get a kind of visceral reaction.
I’m so sorry you’re dealing with various unknowns symptoms 😔 I can empathize with you as a fellow girly with many ailments. This past weekend I went to get an ultrasound as a check up as I started seeing a new doctor online to help with my PCOS & Endometriosis a bit more (barely got diagnosed last year even though I was sure I’ve had it my whole life). Anyways the radiologist ended up finding fibroids in my uterus, endometriosis, a cyst on my ovary (the one on the other side burst a couple years ago) sludge in my bladder, and a kidney stone in each kidney one has been there for 8 years and the other for 10 😔 he proceeded to lmk kidney stone pain is the second worst pain you can feel and that he was so sorry I dealt with it for so long. He was so helpful and explained everything throughly. It was so dumbfounding to me that no other radiologist was able to find them as I remember they explicitly looked for kidney stones when my cyst ruptured. He told me that if a radiologist doesn’t know how to properly look they’ll miss things and that just because they were transvaginal ultrasounds doesn’t mean they can see anything any better (if they don’t know how to look properly) and he could see everything he needs to with a pelvic ultrasound as long as I drink plenty of water and there’s no need to deal with the uncomfortable transvaginal ultrasound if you don’t need to 🥺 anyways I’ve always had random sharp pain in my back and I thought it was my endo. I’m so grateful my doctor insisted a double checking anything because she didn’t want to write off my pain as something in case there was something else too. I was crying on and off involuntarily that day, my husband had just left for a work trip that morning so it was extra hard to be by myself. I also felt like a burden talking about how much the news affected me but I did it anyway and it was helpful and felt less heavy after I shared. All this to say I don’t know you personally but I’m rooting for you! I hope you find the answers you need, that you find helpful medical professionals in your journey because that really is honestly more than half the battle. I’ve been gaslit for years by different doctors to the point I would’ve probably gave up on real answers had it not been for my husband reassuring me because he saw how much I was affected by different things everyday. He would promise me it wasn’t in my head and that we’d get answers and that extra acknowledgement helped me to not blame myself like the doctors were blaming me. Not knowing what’s going on with your body is sooooo fucking hard. Sending virtual hugs your way 🫂 please never feel bad about talking about it you inspired me to also continue to try to get answers and speak about my experiences more openly
Sending you SO much love in regards to your health. I hope you and your doctor can figure things out very soon! Absolutely zero medical expertise here, but as someone who is very Covid conscious still and I know you've lived with long Covid for a few years now, do you think it could possibly be that the horrible infection you had a few months back triggered some new long Covid-type symptoms?? I've just heard many, many stories about individuals with long Covid who have had different setbacks throughout their journey due to another Covid infection, another virus, etc. I'm sure you've gone down this road with your thoughts/analysis of what's going on with your body, I just hope you're feeling better soon! Xo
When you guys purchased your home did you do an air quality test as a part of your inspection? Mold exposure could be the source of a lot of strange health symptoms.
I have all of the same symptoms and it’s all POTS related. At least for me. I’m 44 and have had POTS since I was 26. Horrible brain fog….. sometimes I can’t think of certain words…… forgetting why I went into a room …… putting things in weird places ….. the list goes on. Dumping syndrome….. aka ……. extreme diarrhea after almost every meal. Heart racing after every meal….. heat and cold intolerance…… racing heart when standing sitting up or rolling over in bed. Rosacea on face and neck and chest …… exhausted yet can’t sleep LOL ……. Let’s see what else….. hair loss…… adrenaline dumps….raynauds…bloating and weight gain yet I’m not eating much at all ……. Heart palpitations….. I’m wearing a holter monitor as I type this….. I mean the list is never ending. Seems like everyday there is a new annoying symptom. Hang in there …… I’m not going to say it gets better because that would be a lie but maybe just maybe one day they will find a cure 🤷🏻♀️. I’m on 25 mg on metoprolol….. it helps my heart rate some …..but nothing helps 100 percent.
Maaaaan trying to figure out what is wrong as a chronically ill person is such a struggle. It could be all one thing or it could be a few different things, and it's like trying to win the lottery finding out.
Not having answers especially health wise is so frustrating im also the girl who has always something and ugh what do i hate it! And although you know most of us dont mind i get its draining and feeling guilty for "complaining" ❤❤❤
The magnets are so sweet! Out of curiosity, what kind of paint did you use? And did you coat them in anything to get the glossy finish? Hoping to make a few myself :)
So i dont know about your other symptoms but it might be worth talking to a pelvic floor physiotherapist about the peeing. I had to see one and the changes that happened after getting help was amazing. and as a fellow chronically ill girly i hope your tests show exactly what they need to do to help you. 💖
I’ve been watching you for years and we have very similar diagnoses. POTS ADHD etc. Please keep us updated on your medical items. Because all of your symptoms you described or have been describing I’m experiencing too. All the bloodwork and no answers. I eat the healthiest and exercise the most I ever have too. I just had a 14 day cycle and was told it “just a heavy period” when it was like I was hemorrhaging. I’m tired of feeling so fatigue and off and sick and no energy and no answers for what’s wrong with me. I’m tired of just being prescribed medications for the symptoms and not getting to the root problem when I know there’s something wrong. It’s so overwhelming not being listened to and feeling like this.
From another gf girlie, 1. Take some miralax, that’ll loosen everything up a little and 2. I’ve heard that if you get glutened, take a shot of tequila bc it’s supposed to make it so you don’t have the effects of the gluten (I haven’t tried this, but I’ve heard multiple people say it works)
Have you ever thought about going to a Mayo Clinic? They will literally run every test on you imaginable over a few days and you can get answers to why you’re feeling the way you do. It stinks to know you’re not feeling yourself and have no answers. ❤
I am not trying to scare you, just cause I had majority of same symptoms + ovarian cysts, endometriosis, IBS D/C and tiredness are kind of common symptoms too. Please try to ask your doctor to check CA125 levels. It may be just over-crossing symptoms for something else, but I always encourage everyone to double-check them.
Trust me, you're not crazy for being concerned about changes and feeling off. I was right on board with thinking it could be a thyroid issue, but since its not I thought about addisons disease? I've delt with chronic illness most of my life as well and just recently got diagnosed with Graves disease after months of feeling awful and "off" and I originally thought it could be a corisol issue which is why I even know about addisons disease. Obviously not trying to make things worse but I know it can be a lot of tests and trial and error and some stuff they won't test for without enough evidence or just asking for the test.
My comment is just another comment, but thank you for sharing your content of being not quite well. I'm a adenomyosis/hashimotos(and i have hypothyroid symptoms without the thyroid hormones being clinically diagnosable as hypothyroidism)/adhd girlie and it's hard when people in your life don't understand. It feels like you understand so thank you.
Hey meghan, I'm a pharmacist and I have hoshimotos thyroiditis the autoimmune version of thyroid disease. If you think this is a possibility make sure your provider is checking TSH T4 T3 Free t4 Free t3 TPO antibiotics If you want to know more about each one of these just comment I'll put more info in the replies.
i would have your doctor do a full thyroid panel. most doctors don’t test enough factors to come to a real conclusion. TSH, T3/reverse T3, T4, and testing testosterone would probably help too.
Please ignore if you’re not looking for suggestions because I know how that is, but have you ever been tested for Lyme? Blood tests are unfortunately not accurate and the cdc has been on a 40 years disinformation campaign so all the doctors who truly know how to diagnose and treat it are out of network, but so many things you describe sound like what I’ve experienced. It took me 5 years to get diagnosed and seeing the out of network specialists is depressingly expensive, but they will actually do so much testing for not just Lyme but all autoimmune things. The doctor I saw is in Torrance so not far if you’re still in the LA area. Always happy to share more info or just shut up lol. Please keep talking about your chronic health, the girls that get it, get it. Also, your vlogs are so relaxing lately, love them
I feel as though I am unconsciously following in your footsteps. Which makes sense, given how much I love your content! My fiancé and I have been engaged for a year now. We decided to use the money that our parents generously gave us as a wedding gift to put a down payment on our first home. My fiancé is also finishing up his doctorate. So, the seemly endless questions about our wedding day only get more and more frustrating to answer, given all that we are currently trying to accomplish in our lives. I started to write a long paragraph with my opinions surrounding modern weddings and marriage, but... you are not my therapist, so I will not force you to read through all of that. I have no money to pay you to listen to me yap now that I have a mortgage. In short, I am so happy to see that you and Mats have taken the time to have a discussion as partners about how you want to celebrate your relationship. It gives me comfort to know that there are other couples out there who share our ideals and are taking things at their own pace. Thank you so much for sharing, I wish you both the best in your lives and your life together ❤
I know you didn’t ask; but you should see a hormone doctor. Like someone who prescribes testosterone if needed for women. I bet it’s hormonal imbalance. I am a doctor. Best wishes.
Some of your symptoms of this mystery illness are reminding me a lot of Brain on Fire, where a woman was diagnosed with Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis. I’m curious if your doctors have ever done neuroimmunological testing to see if you match for any of these disorders? It may be a question for your neurologist if you have one!
Hey girlie! I’ve followed and loved you for years and years. Funnily enough we have the same birthday & I also got long covid pots!! I’m in Scotland and have went private for healthcare as the NHS took far too long. I can’t recommend seeing a neurologist- I got a scan and have been told I have a Pinal Cyst, this can give you SO many symptoms and some match what you’re saying. I was also diagnosed with Gastroparesis- I have no appetite, major bloating, sore tummy which is worse with my period. I’m also with a dietitian doing a low fodmap diet as they something I’m injecting is hurting my Gastroparesis- which is giving me awful acne. Maybe something you could ask about or look into- only if you want to ofc🩷 Please disregard all of this if it’s not helpful, my heart breaks that we’re both going through this journey, it’s exhausting. I just wanted to give you a bit of insight of how my journey has been since 2022 but I’m sorry if I’m just venting and it’s not helpful x Sending you all the love angel x
I'm so sorry to hear about your health issues❤ I've been struggling with reproductive problems (boo ovarian cysts) over the last several months which resulted in rapid weight gain. It's understandable that it can feel jarring to you even if others don't notice - it's your body and you've been in it your whole life! I hope you find comfort knowing that there are people who understand having complicated feelings about their body, from either known (or not yet known) health issues, and I really hope you can get some answers from your doctor soon🫶🏻
As a girl “who always has something,” love your content. Reminds me I’m not alone and all of us chronically ill, long Covid, POTS, autoimmune girlies can take up space 💗💗💗

Fellow gluten free girly and I literally die when I’m glutened so I feel for uuu
Savers is the American name for what we call Value Village in Canada, but they're the same store and owned by the same company.
Maaaaan trying to figure out what is wrong as a chronically ill person is such a struggle. It could be all one thing or it could be a few different things, and it's like trying to win the lottery finding out.
The flower thingy is called a fakir and it's easier to arrange before adding water.
You need to get into needlepoint!! You would love!

No it's such a phobia

@@Skler00zee i’ll check my patient portal to see if it was run, if not i’ll request next time! thank you ♥️

Hearing DWKT in the background 😭🫶
Trust me, you're not crazy for being concerned about changes and feeling off. I was right on board with thinking it could be a thyroid issue, but since its not I thought about addisons disease? I've delt with chronic illness most of my life as well and just recently got diagnosed with Graves disease after months of feeling awful and "off" and I originally thought it could be a corisol issue which is why I even know about addisons disease. Obviously not trying to make things worse but I know it can be a lot of tests and trial and error and some stuff they won't test for without enough evidence or just asking for the test.
you're so cool and I love that you just are you idk
I heard from a doctor, that to get a real diagnosis of any thyroid issues it’s better if you get an ultrasound, hopefully it might help✨🙏🏼

My comment is just another comment, but thank you for sharing your content of being not quite well. I'm a adenomyosis/hashimotos(and i have hypothyroid symptoms without the thyroid hormones being clinically diagnosable as hypothyroidism)/adhd girlie and it's hard when people in your life don't understand. It feels like you understand so thank you.
It's pronounced like gwash 🥰

Can you sell your art work? I love the figs! ❤❤❤❤❤
Gauche is pronounced like squash with a g instead of s at the beginning!
Nope, it’s pronounced goshe, rhyming with the first syllable in lotion
Check your kidneys!!!
By any chance peri-menopause I saw another girl around the same age just get diagnosed with that
Hey meghan, I'm a pharmacist and I have hoshimotos thyroiditis the autoimmune version of thyroid disease. If you think this is a possibility make sure your provider is checking
TSH
T4
T3
Free t4
Free t3
TPO antibiotics
If you want to know more about each one of these just comment I'll put more info in the replies.
hi
i would have your doctor do a full thyroid panel. most doctors don’t test enough factors to come to a real conclusion. TSH, T3/reverse T3, T4, and testing testosterone would probably help too.
Please ignore if you’re not looking for suggestions because I know how that is, but have you ever been tested for Lyme? Blood tests are unfortunately not accurate and the cdc has been on a 40 years disinformation campaign so all the doctors who truly know how to diagnose and treat it are out of network, but so many things you describe sound like what I’ve experienced. It took me 5 years to get diagnosed and seeing the out of network specialists is depressingly expensive, but they will actually do so much testing for not just Lyme but all autoimmune things. The doctor I saw is in Torrance so not far if you’re still in the LA area. Always happy to share more info or just shut up lol.
Please keep talking about your chronic health, the girls that get it, get it. Also, your vlogs are so relaxing lately, love them
@@mylifeontheElist there’s like less than a 0% chance i’ve been bitten by a tick. v thankful for that
I would recommend looking up conditions that are common within neurodivergent individuals because it’s more than most know and just really sucks
I feel as though I am unconsciously following in your footsteps. Which makes sense, given how much I love your content!
My fiancé and I have been engaged for a year now. We decided to use the money that our parents generously gave us as a wedding gift to put a down payment on our first home. My fiancé is also finishing up his doctorate. So, the seemly endless questions about our wedding day only get more and more frustrating to answer, given all that we are currently trying to accomplish in our lives.
I started to write a long paragraph with my opinions surrounding modern weddings and marriage, but... you are not my therapist, so I will not force you to read through all of that. I have no money to pay you to listen to me yap now that I have a mortgage.
In short, I am so happy to see that you and Mats have taken the time to have a discussion as partners about how you want to celebrate your relationship. It gives me comfort to know that there are other couples out there who share our ideals and are taking things at their own pace. Thank you so much for sharing, I wish you both the best in your lives and your life together ❤

I like you 🇰🇭
don't know if this is overstepping but have you taken a pregnancy test?
@@jessicaklofft yep! negative! i also take continuous birth control so i don’t ovulate
I know you didn’t ask; but you should see a hormone doctor. Like someone who prescribes testosterone if needed for women. I bet it’s hormonal imbalance. I am a doctor. Best wishes.
Some of your symptoms of this mystery illness are reminding me a lot of Brain on Fire, where a woman was diagnosed with Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis. I’m curious if your doctors have ever done neuroimmunological testing to see if you match for any of these disorders? It may be a question for your neurologist if you have one!
Not you listening to Plan Bri 🤮

@@MeghanRienks hahah omg im so sorry to those gals 😭😂 my bad!!!
‘By 5 people online’ you mean the only people who watch you now
Can’t wait to watch your RUclips videos!
Hey girlie! I’ve followed and loved you for years and years. Funnily enough we have the same birthday & I also got long covid pots!! I’m in Scotland and have went private for healthcare as the NHS took far too long. I can’t recommend seeing a neurologist- I got a scan and have been told I have a Pinal Cyst, this can give you SO many symptoms and some match what you’re saying. I was also diagnosed with Gastroparesis- I have no appetite, major bloating, sore tummy which is worse with my period. I’m also with a dietitian doing a low fodmap diet as they something I’m injecting is hurting my Gastroparesis- which is giving me awful acne. Maybe something you could ask about or look into- only if you want to ofc🩷
Please disregard all of this if it’s not helpful, my heart breaks that we’re both going through this journey, it’s exhausting. I just wanted to give you a bit of insight of how my journey has been since 2022 but I’m sorry if I’m just venting and it’s not helpful x
Sending you all the love angel x
I'm so sorry to hear about your health issues❤ I've been struggling with reproductive problems (boo ovarian cysts) over the last several months which resulted in rapid weight gain. It's understandable that it can feel jarring to you even if others don't notice - it's your body and you've been in it your whole life! I hope you find comfort knowing that there are people who understand having complicated feelings about their body, from either known (or not yet known) health issues, and I really hope you can get some answers from your doctor soon🫶🏻
