    Hi Amanda, 73 degrees that’s perfect
    Looks so peaceful there. Happy to hear Wynston’s medication is helping him 👍
    Very cool you had help with that reaction. Good temps
    For getting your chores done.
    Enjoy

    I’m so happy to hear that you were able to get some help pretty quickly. Especially it being dark and rainy. Sorry you weren’t feeling well while filming the video. Hopefully you can have a nice and quiet evening. Tell Wynston to give you extra hugs tonite. Be careful Amanda and Winston. ❤ If you you need a day off, please do so, if you can. See you on the next one.

    Hahaha. I love how Winston sniffs the food before taking it as if you might be pulling a fast one on him and feeding him medicine. My Yorky does that too. Good tip about having cell wherever you camp. I'll make sure I do when I camp alone since I don't have any of those Garmin or Starling tools either.

    As someone with high blood pressure, after an episode of high blood pressure it can make you feel bad for 1-2 days. Add the Benadryl on top of that yes you can feel even worse. Glad there was help nearby.

    Sounded like you had a good time at party, I am gearing up to start my van life in January, wanted to get there earlier so could get more situated there in Quartzsite before all the festivities got going there. Van running hot & trying to get fixed hopefully soon, wish me luck. Sorry your not feeling wel, I break out also, really don't know what it is, but it does seem to act up more in summer & after petting the dogs, the doctor gave me prescribed cream that works wonders. Understand your worries about worrying about Winston, cause I'll be bringing 2 fur babies I often think about that situation, good tip about phone.

  • @suerop
    @suerop Месяц назад +1

    You did the right thing calling for help. I don't like folks to make a big fuss about me, either, so i sometimes wait too long to ask for help. I'm really glad you're going to be ok. That was sweet of that officer to sit with Wynston. Take care, dear. We love you both. 💘💖💓

    You were fortunate that help was so close by. I've had Hashimotos for 30 years. I also have had skin reactions and other allergic symptoms. I'm not sure if that's typical or not. I'm glad you are doing better!❤❤

    Hello Amanda you may already know this but wanted to make sure you knew just in case...I too have hoshimotos and was shocked when my doctor had to put me on blood pressure medication...i had no clue that high blood pressure is one of the many joys we get with our hoshi's...from what i got outta my doc was that our arteries to our heart dont work how they should so it causes our heart to work over time to circulate blood thruout our bodies which is why we get tired from excercising or doing any kinda activities...i thought i was just outta shape hahaha...anyways keep an eye on that you may need to go get on blood pressure meds like i did.

    • @AdventuringWithAmanda
      @AdventuringWithAmanda  Месяц назад +4

      I don't take any meds, and I'd love to keep it that way. 😅 A daily vitamin D supplement got my Hashimotos under control. I'm so thankful!

      I manage my issues with herbs, spices n vitamins n minerals. I take magnesium, selenium, iodine n vitamin D with K2 to manage my thyroid issues. I also use vitamins n minerals along with herbs n spices for my dogs issues from allergies etc.

    Scary....a simple bee sting gave me cellulitis on my arm within hours of the sting. Swollen red rash, hot, painful, itch that kept me awake for days. Urgent care required to get antibiotics, pain meds and prescription level antihistimins. Yes, it can be very scary when you alone. Few years black widow bite did the same thing to my leg and left an ulcerated hole for a month. Be VERY careful when going thru brush. A tic bite can ruin the rest of your life if you get lime disease. You did the right thing to call for help. Looking forward to watching your Quartzsite travels.

  • @exploringnext1111
    @exploringnext1111 Месяц назад +1

    Always have an envelope, easy to see, in your visor that reads "in case of emergency". Listed should be emergency contacts ALONG with who to call for your pet incase you are dead, missing or unconscious. Stuff happens. It's life on the road. Sometimes one isn't in cell phone range ... the best kind of camping because then you are not staring at a phone all the time. Grab a good book and GO.

    maybe its elevation issue, hope you feel better back in the lower desert.
    Wynston reminds me so much of my "Waitor" he had a tuxedo bowtie colors, like a little waiter... we would call him like Spongebob called the waiter in the movie... funtimes.

    • @AdventuringWithAmanda
      @AdventuringWithAmanda  Месяц назад +2

      We were only at 5500 feet. I only become affected by elevation if I'm over 10,000ft.

    FYI: US Forest Service (federal) have LEO's (law enforcement officers). Each National Forest employs LEO's. They were probably out there training with other agencies to deal with many situations in the back country.

    @beautifuldreamer3991 Месяц назад +1

    They're other allergy meds that wont make you groggy. I hate benadryl, it too makes me feel hungover and it takes full 24 hrs to feel better.

    Not sure this works in the States. A guy I watch in BC Canada, said if you don't have cell service and you have Apple phone, you can text 911 and they text back, pretty fast. A guy was with him and did it. He's like no no, im fine no don't need anyone. And I think the texted him, a little later to see if he was all right. Might be something to look into. Feel better

    • @AdventuringWithAmanda
      @AdventuringWithAmanda  Месяц назад +1

      I do believe you can text 911 here but I'm honestly not 💯 sure!

      @AdventuringWithAmanda off topic, I'm fron Ontario Canada and I live in the country. Wanted to stop the mice from attacking my riding lawnmower. I decide to order the Grandpa gus, only place I could find it was on ebay, but they don't deliver to Canada. I tried. 🙂

  • @Je-Lia

    Glad it was not terribly serious. I feel ya, being in the ambulance, that moment of uncertainty - being separated from Wynston (Anxiety spike). Do you keep Benadryl with you at all times? it occurred to me this might be a good thing to have in the kit.

    • @AdventuringWithAmanda
      @AdventuringWithAmanda  Месяц назад +1

      I've called non-emergency in a few different jurisdictions over the years, and I typically just Google "non-emergency phone number in my area."

    I've been holed up in the north waiting for the Q to cool down. Made it here yesterday. Spent the last 2 months bouncing around between Flagstaff, Williams and Wickenburg. My fav was Williams at Dog Town Lake area. Easy to find your way around. Flagstaff was good but Wickenburg was like a " city dump". As usual it's not campers but vocals that have zero respect for the environment. One place looked like abandoned trailers exploded and their contents were everywhere. Lots of camping up Vulture Mine Rd. If you can handle the trash. Sad😢
