Prayers for both you and Jami. It definitely is a challenging time for 2 ladies that need to be busy. Both of you are strong and positive minded, and we are all behind you. My suggestion about the specialist is that while you are waiting, keep a diary each day. Do you feel worse at a certain time or after certain foods? Was the weather a factor. I was asked a lot of questions, and of course, my answers weren't exact. I hope you have answers soon.
That is a wonderful suggestion. I had to do that myself when I started having dizziness and vomiting. I started keeping track. What the doctor said was that I had Tinnitus and Mennieres Disease. I knew I had Tinnitus, but the Mennieres Disease made sense when he told me the dizziness occurs when a weather front comes in. This week was a tough one because that freeze front bothered me. I had a headache for 2 days and some dizziness. I have medicine and it does help me a ton. I hope this helps Brooke of keeping a diary.
TOTALLY agree with this…. I stopped taking over counter pain meds & I have neuropathy, arthritis & lipodema. TOTALLY eliminated added SUGAR & PROCESSED foods. Ginger oil for massaging & added tumeric to my diet & I drink DETOX tea every other week. NO pharmasuitical drugs worked, nor could I afford or trust the sporadic results!
Advocating for your health is a constant battle! When you are sick and feel your PCP is on your side, think again. You must push and question everyone and everything! Support and perseverance are a must. Never settle. This is when the internet is your best friend. ❤❤❤ Never settle, always question??❣️❣️ Prayers, strength, and love 🙏❤️
As someone with autoimmune issues I refrain from bottled water because of microplastics. Also I don’t handle chlorinated water well. Chlorine in any form flares me. Many people like myself find relief doing keto and carnivore. I do carnivore when I am in a flare. 💕 What an incredible blessing to have good water on your own land.
So glad you brought this up! Maybe the microplastics are part of the cause for so much illness. I have used a home distiller for thr past 5 years. I will never go back unless the power goes out!
@susanneal3780 I think those cookies may have triggered something, this all started about the time discovered that Cookie Crumbles. ( I believe that was the name.
And energy expenditure stress n activities...but everyone is different n all have to find your boundries n abilitys without finding the point of complex exhaustion.
Brooke, I watch many homestead videos. Almost every single one is experiencing illness, tragedies, and so on. I've had two death experiences in my lifetime, and I'm 61 years old. I bless hard times because that means that we have reached a point in our lives that we are ready to experience the darkness, thank it, forgive it, and release it. It's a process that we are all experiencing in one way or another. I don't believe that anything is an accident . Rebuke it and send it on its way. It's just a test and letting go of what does not belong. I pray for you and don't accept what the doctors diagnose. Send it on its way and give it to God. I do believe that we are entering the darkness to allow us to shed and release and to transform the darkness into the light through faith. God bless you and hope that this makes any sense. I pray for you, beautiful Brooke.
Brooke, I might suggest keeping a daily journal. What you eat, what you do. Food could definitely cause flare ups, also cleaners can too. We all hold so much love for your family. Prayers ❤️🙏
Brooke take notes on the barometric pressure and your document your bad pain days. I have arthritis and some of my body parts hurt worse when the barometric pressure is 29.8 and below, but too I’ve had issues when the pressure is changing.
I was going to tell her the same. You don’t always have to wait for Drs to make apps if you can Brook. Bring notebook to Dr w/you & take specialists name/contact down. Every Dr or test you go to…get a business card. This way you can take control of things if you have to. My Drs email tests orders and I call & schedule the tests myself.
I recently learned that "long-covid" sufferers are often plagued by all over body aches and pain. You may have discussed that with your doctor but thought I'd throw that out there.
The cold weather coming through is probably making your pain worse. When you finally get to see a rheumatologist, expect to have lots of blood drawn. I have drawn more than twenty tubes of blood after our rheumatologist came through. Some of them were sent to California and took weeks to come back. He was definitely the one to figure out mystery illnesses. You and Jami are in my prayers.
I am so Happy that Both tests came back Negative. Hopefully when they do finally figure it out, it will be something easily managed. Many Prayers for Jamie🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Research it and you will see a lot of plastic particles in water in plastic bottles. Get glass containers. Also no formaldehyde in glass, like some plastic.
Brooke, weather pressure systems can really mess with your inflammation with psoriatic or rheumatoid arthritis. Praying you can find a great rheumatologist.
Hi Brooke. Can you please get your Dr to do a heavy metal test on you. Praying that you get some good results and you get the relief you deserve. Take care and stay Blessed. ❤️🙏
Weather change never helps auto immune diseases, especially those in the rheumatoid kind. Keeping you and the Cog Hill family in my prayers for patience and understanding..the strength to keep searching for answers and help for pain. 🙏🙏🙏💖
I have Osteoarthritis and the weather does play a role in my pain levels. Whether or not this is scientific my pain will worsen 24 to 48 hours before a big storm. I pray you find answers in a timely manner.
Hi Brooke! Curious if you’ve ever kept a food diary and tracked how you feel. It might be beneficial to see if certain foods throw you over into a flare. Write down EVERYTHING you’ve eaten or drank over a two week period. Keep a daily log of how you felt overall and any specific symptoms that are undesirable. Hope you get in to see a medical professional and start feeling better soon!
Yes, she should definitely do that. I have 3 autoimmune diseases and many meds and foods throw me into a flare. My overall condition has improved since I saw a Contact-dermatitis doctor. Many of my reactions were internal, so it was many yrs to diagnose it. He gave me the best advice. Monitor everything I’m ingesting, using or touching. It’s made a big difference.
Just watched Lester video. 😢😢😢. Praying immediately for Jami and Lester. Jami is strong. Praying for you Brooke and Jason. Both you ladies are strong women. Praying for all of us strong women.
Brooke, there are many good Doctors in Atlanta Ga! Its a little drive but Well worth it! Praying for You and Jami... God Bless you Both! My Well Water here in North Ga Mtns is the Coldest and Best Tasting Water you can Drink! Its Better than Any Bottled Water Anywhere! No Sulpher or Anything! Its was Tested 2 weeks ago again and its Perfect! So Good! Wish I could Ship you Some! Much Love and God Bless. 🙏🙏❤❤🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸
Prayers for both you ladies!! It’s hard for ladies that are strong and are on the go a lot and have to step back and watch ppl doing what you are suppose to be doing. 🙏❤️
We purchased a water distiller. We keep it on the counter and make about a gallon a day (we add a dropper full of perfect minerals to it). We also bought a countertop ice maker and use the distilled water for it. For years we bought water bottles and bagged ice. The distiller was a game changer.
Hey Brooke, glad you’re testing came out negative it’s absurd that you have to wait that long for a doctors appointment with the rheumatologist. I hope someone comes through for you. So you can be seen. I tried to send you information on thrush and it’s side effects and many of the side effects can be resolved if you can get rid of the thrush. Hope you feel better
Rheumatology is the most sought after and least available specialty in the country. It's a problem everywhere. My MIL needed desperately to be seen by a rheumatologist within a month and could not get an appointment for 8 months. That was about 6 years ago in Missouri. I have autoimmune disorders and don't even have a rheumatologist. Here, the rheumatologists cover not only the large metro area I'm in but they travel to at least 2 if not 3 other metros to care for patients because we are so short of rheumatologists. Most are arrogant, opinionated and don't listen. You get 5 minutes with them if you're lucky. So, if you have a good one, hang on to them and treat them right! Recognize that you are blessed to have them. Brooke, I wish you all the best in finding an awesome rheumatologist who will spend the time necessary with you and treat you right. You deserve it. We all do. ❤
They get people in as fast as they can…the problem is that many specialties don’t have many providers in certain areas..sometimes none. I have a friend who is a rheumatologist; and he is the only dr in that specialty in his city, and he lives in a pretty populated area.
Praying for y'all. Asking for prayers for my hubby. His biopsy results came back positive for Cancer. Prayers are greatly appreciated. Thanks so much. Prayers, peace, & much love to y'all. 🙏✝️❤️🕊️💜🌹
Thrilled to hear the well water passed the test for you both. I am also very picky about water, and we are also on well water. Filtered thru the fridge and it is tasty. I like mine COLD. Take care Brooke, glad you got some answers.
Brooke, if you have an inflammatory issue you may want to eliminate night shades from your diet and see if this makes a difference. Tomatoes, eggplant, peppers and even potatoes are all in the night shade family. The majority of the inflammatory substance in the night shades is primarily in the seeds and skin. It was hard for me as I love all of these, but I feel so much better.
Brooke, if you are near a teaching hospital, give them a call and ask about their rheumatology dept. see if they will see you and see if they will put you in for quick appointment or cancellation if that works for you.
Brooke I totally understand how you explain how you feel worse on some days more than others. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia more than 20 plus years ago. I've dealt with every possible scenario that goes along with having Fibromyalgia. Since I had a infection secondary to a hip replacement I have to be careful taking meds because it can cause the infection to come back. My RA doctor is now sending me to a neurologist to test me for diseases that can mimic each other. I go the end of this month and pray that my RA doctor is wrong.
Brooke you are and will continue to be in my prayers for a diagnosis and treatment that will help you feel better. I have Jami in my prayers to for a good recovery.❤️❤️. I do hope you find a doctor that will fit you needs. Much love and big hugs are being sent your way. Rest when you need to, do what you can when ya can. Brooke my husband can’t tell the differences in waters either, but I can. My sense of smell is also better than his.😃. Stay warm and hug your animal babies for me.🩷
Just started watching your husband. Been watching you a little while so sorry for yr. Illness. Your a very nice sweet lady. I enjoy watching you. Hope you get to the bottom of this illness . God bless I'll be praying
Hey Jason and Brooke...the chlorine in tapwater evaporates overnight when you decant it into a bottle or jug. After that the taste is mainly from your pipes whether it be copper, steel or plastic.
I am with you- all water does not taste the same! LOL! Listening to you talk today reminded me of when I moved to a new town that added floride and other chemicals to their water. I was fine for the first year and then the migraines and autoimmune flares started. Switching to bottled water helped but bottle water also had some floride and a few months later the symptoms returned. Once I moved to well water/ no floride everything was much better. Something to consider ;-)
You might look into the closest med school. They usually have a hospital attached to school and their drs are usually the best in your area. I am a retired nurse and learned this while I was working.
Your well is so deep your water is bound to be good! Agree with others- water in plastic = nano plastics in the water. County water = chlorine, chloramines. Well water = well filtered water probably with minerals your body needs. Good choice!
After finally getting initial diagnosis, I did feel better knowing. Went to 4 rheumatologists all said basically the same. Autoimmune is very difficult to treat, one reason is because everyone has an individual system. What works for one may not work for another. And you will never be rid of it, you may just slow the progress. Just have to be ready to deal with every day.
Great news on the test results. Changing over to pure well water might be good for your health without the chemical exposure to county water & bottles. Best to Jamie too.
Brooke, try a food diary. Write down everything you eat and then see how you feel. If you have a bad day just refer back to your diet. It's easy and cheap and it will give you a lot of good information. Best of luck to you!!
Brooke, I was just like you about water. However, I was diagnosed with my first autoimmune illness in 1997. I now have asthma (born with), Type 2 Diabetes caused by autoimmune and 5 autoimmune illnesses. What worked for me was filtering water and keeping it ice cold. I have a 32oz stainless insulated water bottle. I keep ice and water in it 24/7. It goes everywhere with me, but without the ice, I still can't drink the water. Hope this might help you too.🙏
Please check out Dr Ken Berry here on youtube, he helped with my auto immune issues. Also, my cousin got rid of her type 2 diabetes just changing what we ate. ❤
When we lived in Colorado there was a natural spring outside of town. We saved our milk jugs and filled them up brought them home. Delicious. Minerals in the water kept your bowels regular and boost your energy. Neicè and baby 3mthsold came for visit baby was constipated. Gave her a bottle of spring water she exploded in her diaper. Neice took a jug home
Sending prayers Brooke. It's sad that when not feeling well or in pain that it takes so long to find out why. I know bc I'm going through it too. Sending hugs. Yes Jami sending her more hugs too. She's moving around and even joking around with Lester. That's so good. Yay to the no bacteria 🦠same with picky with certain brands of water bottles....
Sending lots of prayers for sweet Jami! Glad your test was negative. I have Fibromyalgia and there are days that the pain is so much worse. I notice it more when our weather is changing. My flare ups are awful. Hope you don't have to wait a super long time to be seen.
Brook I am the same with water. Prayers for you and Jamie. XOXO 😘 🤗 😘 🤗. Please pray for me if it's or. I have also autoimmune issues and medical issues with physical disability too. XOXO
Great news about the water! Hate your having to wait for a rheumatologist when you need one now. May you get some answers soon and get a diagnosis. Keeping you and Jami lifted in prayers.
Praying for you and Jamie 🙏😊🙏 Glad that you got one test back and that it was negative . Hope that you get the next test done soon 🙏🙏 God bless you both 💖🙏💘🙏💖💖🙏🙏

I was asked a lot of questions, and of course, my answers weren't exact. I hope you have answers soon.
I agree! Chasing migraine triggers, I had to track everything for awhile to figure out what things caused them for me.
That is a wonderful suggestion. I had to do that myself when I started having dizziness and vomiting. I started keeping track. What the doctor said was that I had Tinnitus and Mennieres Disease. I knew I had Tinnitus, but the Mennieres Disease made sense when he told me the dizziness occurs when a weather front comes in. This week was a tough one because that freeze front bothered me.

@janetgray8737. I'm so sorry to hear about the dizziness, that's an awful feeling. God Bless and best wishes for 2024.

What an incredible blessing to have good water on your own land.
Yes excellent. Carnivore is always my suggestion to her
I have to avoid black tea as it causes me to flare up - horridly .
Renee very good advice. The carnivore diet is excellent for autoimmune disorders.
Carnivore is the way.
So glad you brought this up! Maybe the microplastics are part of the cause for so much illness.
I have used a home distiller for thr past 5 years. I will never go back unless the power goes out!
Brooke the weather can cause your symptoms to worsen. Still praying for you and Jamie.
Diet can affect her also.
@susanneal3780 I think those cookies may have triggered something, this all started about the time discovered that Cookie Crumbles. ( I believe that was the name.

Hey Brooke- we are thinking of you over here! And thank you for the sweet prayers too!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Prayers for all who need it. An umbrella of comfort from Jesus. ❤
You should refrigerate them all, as that does make a difference.

Beautifully put! Give it to God. And let it go! 🙏
You might consider keeping a journal. Add everything you eat all activities the weather every small detail. Maybe you will see a trend.
Brooke, I might suggest keeping a daily journal. What you eat, what you do. Food could definitely cause flare ups, also cleaners can too.
We all hold so much love for your family. Prayers ❤️🙏
Excellent idea!
Excellent idea!
My Dr suggested giving up my tempurpedic pillow. It made a big difference. Thank god I have an innerspring mattress!
Brooke take notes on the barometric pressure and your document your bad pain days. I have arthritis and some of my body parts hurt worse when the barometric pressure is 29.8 and below, but too I’ve had issues when the pressure is changing.

Brooke and Jason, you are blessed to have free access to natural, free flowing, SPRING water! Taste and test that source and utilize that!!!
Weather is a main trigger for me. Start keeping a log of barometric pressure. Low pressure affects me worse than high.
Prayers for Jami's recovery 🙏🙏. Stay warm and hope babies are fine. 🥶 Blessings to Mrs Cog Hill 40 🙏🫶🙏🫶🥰
Yes, I agree with these prayers for Jami.
Your husband has the best laugh! Sending you lots of get well wishes. Hang in there and take care.
Prayers going up for two strong, active women. Hoping you and Jami both feel better soon and have full,speedy recoveries!!
I am so Happy that Both tests came back Negative.
Hopefully when they do finally figure it out, it will be something easily managed.
Many Prayers for Jamie🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Super water results and praying for a rheumatologist appt very soon
Brooke, you're so lovely.... Love your eyes.... Warns my heart to see the two of you interact💝💝
Bandit says, 'I don't care, just scratch my belly.' 😂
Research it and you will see a lot of plastic particles in water in plastic bottles. Get glass containers. Also no formaldehyde in glass, like some plastic.
Sending prayers for you and Jamie 🙏🙏🙏
I’m so glad we live in a world where the water is so good we can be picky❤
Both you and Jamie are such kind lovely strong women my thoughts and prayers are with you both to heal ❤❤❤❤❤
Brooke, weather pressure systems can really mess with your inflammation with psoriatic or rheumatoid arthritis. Praying you can find a great rheumatologist.
Brooke i also I'm 🙏🏻 for you and everyone everyday
Hi Brooke. Can you please get your Dr to do a heavy metal test on you. Praying that you get some good results and you get the relief you deserve. Take care and stay Blessed. ❤️🙏
Weather change never helps auto immune diseases, especially those in the rheumatoid kind. Keeping you and the Cog Hill family in my prayers for patience and understanding..the strength to keep searching for answers and help for pain. 🙏🙏🙏💖
I use glass containers for my filtered tap water. I'm sure that you'll want to do the same.
I have Osteoarthritis and the weather does play a role in my pain levels. Whether or not this is scientific my pain will worsen 24 to 48 hours before a big storm.
I pray you find answers in a timely manner.
It’s the barometric air pressure. My Drs confirmed it. I read a good article in Science magazine about it. So weird.
Hi Brooke! Curious if you’ve ever kept a food diary and tracked how you feel. It might be beneficial to see if certain foods throw you over into a flare. Write down EVERYTHING you’ve eaten or drank over a two week period. Keep a daily log of how you felt overall and any specific symptoms that are undesirable. Hope you get in to see a medical professional and start feeling better soon!
I agree with this advice. I cut our tomatoes and peanuts and what a difference in my ability to get around. Amazing how foods can cause such pain!
Ingredients, too, especially in packaged or restaurant foods.
Yes, she should definitely do that. I have 3 autoimmune diseases and many meds and foods throw me into a flare. My overall condition has improved since I saw a Contact-dermatitis doctor. Many of my reactions were internal, so it was many yrs to diagnose it. He gave me the best advice. Monitor everything I’m ingesting, using or touching. It’s made a big difference.
Agreed. And the weather- low pressure systems. Food diaries are very very important. Dairy cripples me
Tomatoes are bad for RA
Prayers For You Both! May You Both Heal Up Very Soon. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇
Just watched Lester video. 😢😢😢. Praying immediately for Jami and Lester. Jami is strong.
Praying for you Brooke and Jason. Both you ladies are strong women. Praying for all of us strong women.
Brooke I hope you get a diagnosis soon. It can take a long time to get one with autoimmune diseases. Hope you have a better week
Tumeric with black pepper capsules are awesome for inflamation as well as tart cherry capsules. I get a lot of relief for my arthritis with them.
Prayers for a quick doctor appointment. It's slow like that every where. Very sad😢. Hope it happens fast.
Feel better.❤😊
Brooke, there are many good Doctors in Atlanta Ga! Its a little drive but Well worth it! Praying for You and Jami... God Bless you Both! My Well Water here in North Ga Mtns is the Coldest and Best Tasting Water you can Drink! Its Better than Any Bottled Water Anywhere! No Sulpher or Anything! Its was Tested 2 weeks ago again and its Perfect! So Good! Wish I could Ship you Some! Much Love and God Bless. 🙏🙏❤❤🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸
It has been found that BOTTLED WATER CONTAINS VERY HIGH MICRO PLASTICS
Prayers for both you ladies!! It’s hard for ladies that are strong and are on the go a lot and have to step back and watch ppl doing what you are suppose to be doing. 🙏❤️
We purchased a water distiller. We keep it on the counter and make about a gallon a day (we add a dropper full of perfect minerals to it). We also bought a countertop ice maker and use the distilled water for it. For years we bought water bottles and bagged ice. The distiller was a game changer.
That's what I do also...run it at night in the garage. The fan running is too noisy for me.
Hey Brooke, glad you’re testing came out negative it’s absurd that you have to wait that long for a doctors appointment with the rheumatologist. I hope someone comes through for you. So you can be seen. I tried to send you information on thrush and it’s side effects and many of the side effects can be resolved if you can get rid of the thrush. Hope you feel better
If she can rinse her mouth with baking soda and water it helps feel better. Nystatin is the drug to get rid of it.

@@robinbrown7953 my point exactly!
I had to wait 7 months to get an appointment after I moved to another State. I’ve never fully recovered back to where I was before we moved.
ELIMINATE ALL SUGAR from your diet! Sugar is in everything, so you’ll need to carefully read labels.
Praying for y'all. Asking for prayers for my hubby. His biopsy results came back positive for Cancer. Prayers are greatly appreciated. Thanks so much. Prayers, peace, & much love to y'all. 🙏✝️❤️🕊️💜🌹
I'm sorry. Prayers for your husband, you, and family.
@JCReturns4me2 Look into Ivermectin therapy, there are several studies proving it is a cure for cancer. Prayers for your family ❤
Definitely praying 🙏🙏🏼🙏
Praying for you and Jami ❤️🐄🦆🐝🌻🐈⬛🚜🫏
Good morning Brooke. I'm praying for you girl. You got this. Y'all are just so awesome. ❤
Cold weather affects the aches and pains so much! Hope it warms up for you soon….we have months to go until spring here in Mi. I feel for you.
Aww Biscuit 😂😂❤❤
❤watching the video ❤

😮 wow. I never heard of that.
I’ve heard a lot about nightshades & inflammation. Sadly it’s 3/4 of my garden.
Brooke, if you are near a teaching hospital, give them a call and ask about their rheumatology dept. see if they will see you and see if they will put you in for quick appointment or cancellation if that works for you.
I love when you say dubya dubya dubya CogHill 😂😂😂😂
Sending prayers to Brooke and Jami ❤
We used to have well water, it was delicious, then to many fertilizers got into the water table, so we had to get city water. ❤❤❤
The barometric pressure changing can play a toll on your immune system. Prayers for Jamie
As someone with an autoimmune condition, I can say that it waxes and wanes. Don’t get discouraged. Prayers for you and your family.
sending hugs and prayers to jami and hope you get in to the arthritis dr soon.
Great news about the water. It will make such a difference to your health too. No more chemicals. xxx
Brooke I totally understand how you explain how you feel worse on some days more than others. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia more than 20 plus years ago. I've dealt with every possible scenario that goes along with having Fibromyalgia.

My RA doctor is now sending me to a neurologist to test me for diseases that can mimic each other. I go the end of this month and pray that my RA doctor is wrong.
Prayers for all of you 🙏. I would make sure Brook that you choose a glass container as you do not want plastic to change the taste of the well water.
Brooke you are and will continue to be in my prayers for a diagnosis and treatment that will help you feel better. I have Jami in my prayers to for a good recovery.❤️❤️. I do hope you find a doctor that will fit you needs. Much love and big hugs are being sent your way. Rest when you need to, do what you can when ya can. Brooke my husband can’t tell the differences in waters either, but I can. My sense of smell is also better than his.😃. Stay warm and hug your animal babies for me.🩷
I think you'll like it Brooke.
Yall can put a whole home filter to run it through.
I prefer water well water over city when we're out eating.
Just started watching your husband. Been watching you a little while so sorry for yr. Illness. Your a very nice sweet lady. I enjoy watching you. Hope you get to the bottom of this illness . God bless I'll be praying
As a child we had ..Well water..a block away..at my Uncles
So sorry Brooke just dealing with scheduling is so awful especially when you don’t feel well. 😊😊
Happy both tests came back negative. Glad well water passes !!! Yes praying for Jami 🙏 and see Bandit and Rocky just wanna rest 🐾Lol👍
Hey Jason and Brooke...the chlorine in tapwater evaporates overnight when you decant it into a bottle or jug. After that the taste is mainly from your pipes whether it be copper, steel or plastic.
One of your biggest culprits is the weather. I always feel it the most before the storm. You will most of the time be better than the weathermen.
Prayers for healing and recovery for Brooke and Jami❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇨🇦

Your well is so deep your water is bound to be good! Agree with others- water in plastic = nano plastics in the water. County water = chlorine, chloramines. Well water = well filtered water probably with minerals your body needs. Good choice!
After finally getting initial diagnosis, I did feel better knowing. Went to 4 rheumatologists all said basically the same. Autoimmune is very difficult to treat, one reason is because everyone has an individual system. What works for one may not work for another. And you will never be rid of it, you may just slow the progress. Just have to be ready to deal with every day.
Great news on the test results. Changing over to pure well water might be good for your health without the chemical exposure to county water & bottles. Best to Jamie too.
Brooke and Jamie STRONG 💪🏻 ❤
Brooke, try a food diary. Write down everything you eat and then see how you feel. If you have a bad day just refer back to your diet. It's easy and cheap and it will give you a lot of good information. Best of luck to you!!
Brooke, I was just like you about water. However, I was diagnosed with my first autoimmune illness in 1997. I now have asthma (born with), Type 2 Diabetes caused by autoimmune and 5 autoimmune illnesses. What worked for me was filtering water and keeping it ice cold. I have a 32oz stainless insulated water bottle. I keep ice and water in it 24/7. It goes everywhere with me, but without the ice, I still can't drink the water. Hope this might help you too.🙏
Please check out Dr Ken Berry here on youtube, he helped with my auto immune issues. Also, my cousin got rid of her type 2 diabetes just changing what we ate. ❤
Prayers coming for you both.
When we lived in Colorado there was a natural spring outside of town. We saved our milk jugs and filled them up brought them home. Delicious. Minerals in the water kept your bowels regular and boost your energy. Neicè and baby 3mthsold came for visit baby was constipated. Gave her a bottle of spring water she exploded in her diaper. Neice took a jug home
OMG... Y'all are killing me with the water taste test!!!😂😁❤
Sending prayers Brooke. It's sad that when not feeling well or in pain that it takes so long to find out why. I know bc I'm going through it too. Sending hugs. Yes Jami sending her more hugs too. She's moving around and even joking around with Lester. That's so good. Yay to the no bacteria 🦠same with picky with certain brands of water bottles....
Sorry you have to wait so long for an appt. It's crazy ! Sending good thoughts to you and Jami.
I'm with you Brooke, I prefer bottled water. I am keeping Jami and your family in my prayers🙏🙏
Hugs and prayers for you and Jamie! You two are awesome ladys! Take care of yourself!
Great getting rid of bottled water. They are now finding micro plastic is all bottled water. Fantastic no more bottled water for Cog Hill.
Sending lots of prayers for sweet Jami! Glad your test was negative. I have Fibromyalgia and there are days that the pain is so much worse. I notice it more when our weather is changing. My flare ups are awful. Hope you don't have to wait a super long time to be seen.
Prayers for you and Jamie to get feeling better quickly 🙏🏻 💝🙏🏻💖
Brooke, I’m the same way with my water…
Praying for Jami… ❤🙏🏻🥰
Brook I am the same with water.
Prayers for you and Jamie. XOXO 😘 🤗 😘 🤗. Please pray for me if it's or. I have also autoimmune issues and medical issues with physical disability too. XOXO
