The way you navigate life with your health issues is inspiring. I wish you all the best, no matter how much you choose to share. You make me feel so much less alone with my own chronic pain issues. I have my first neurologist appointment next week, and I’m scared, but seeing how strong you can be makes me feel like I can be too. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I pray your appointment goes well and I offer encouragement to see a different neurologist if you don't click with this one. Migraine treatment can be tricky and you really need a neurologist who listens to you, who doesn't try to make you fit the treatment instead of tailoring the treatment to meet your needs.
@@hollywebster6844 100% agree! It took me years to finally find an actual headache specialist and she's also an amazing person who listens. So important.
I can validate the pain level. I have had chronic migraine for over 25 years, I am in my mid forties now. I have given birth to an 8.0 pound baby and a 10.2 pound baby. A bad migraine is worse than labor. I am on regular Aimovig, Qulipta, etc. and the rescue shots don't always work for me either. I hope you have a good long spell before your next bad episode. I see you and I can empathize. Hugs.
I love hearing someone else talk about Aimovig. Of course, not all medicines work for all people but I got put on Aimovig 2 years ago and it brings me to tears telling other people about what a miracle it has been for me.
I agree with this, I don’t think ever experienced a truly bad migraine but I would take labor over a migraine, I had an all natural labor and gave birth to an 11 lb baby
Fellow migraine person. I’m in my 40’s and it’s been basically my entire life and I’ve passed this down to my teen daughter which sucks & I feel so guilty. I struggle with down cycles and my triggers - and totally can relate to what you’re saying regarding pain and sharing and hearing comments from others that mean well but don’t “get it.” I’m here for the makeup and hair and travel, but I do really relate to you (even tho I’m so much older!) on some health issues too. ❤️
I have had great success with the new-ish Ubrelvy. Nothing has helped the way it does. About 12-15 y of migraines about 8 days a month are (fingers crossed) a thing of the past. Good luck everyone.
As a medical provider, I see chronic pain all the time. I am amazed at your resilience and your drive to do everything you do despite your health concerns. I see it hold a lot of people back and it’s inspiring to see everything you accomplish with what you go through behind the scenes. I hope one day you don’t have to suffer as often or nearly as much as you do ❤️ sending love and best wishes 🙏🏼 I’ve been watching you for many many years and love you
I’m laying in a hospital bed after going to the eye doctor only to discover I have something call optic neuritis. Which is a sign of MS and apparently all of my chronic migraines may not have just been migraines this whole time. Our medical journeys are personal and what we chooses to share and keep private is a very personal choice. I started watching your videos because of foundation I stayed 8 years later because of you and this caring, like minded community you have created. I come here when I’m sad or happy and always find someone who gets it even if just in a comment I will never reply too. Thank you Taylor and her people for just being you.
Reading this made me realize how much I take my health for granted. I’m sorry you are going through this. I also want to thank you for posting this, this is a good reminder to be appreciative of small to big things we take for granted. Hope you are doing better❤.
Thank you for sharing with us, Taylor. It's honestly so easy to forget that everyone has big shit going on behind the scenes that's so easily disguised on social media. Honestly I had been wondering about Mayo Clinic but it was obviously none of my business! I'm excited for you to have a new path for treatment and wish you nothing but the best. f
I also suffer from chronic migraine and I appreciate seeing you talk about even a small portion of it. It’s so hard to share because I always get hit with the “drink water” by friends when I’m practically drowning from the amount of water I drink. Anytime someone starts to say “have you tried” I just completely zone away and can’t manage it. And medical trauma and ptsd from horrible doctor and ER visits is so real. I feel for you! I hope the injections gave you some relief. Good luck!
You are honestly one of the only people who allows me to feel sane when it comes to discussions about migraines. I’ve been getting migraines more often the older I get. A few years ago I went to a doctor after dealing with migraines that would wake me up from sleep in tears because the pain was that intense and sudden (kinda felt like someone was throwing a fastball at my head) and I was completely dismissed by my doc. He just prescribed medication that didnt help and sent me on my way. More recently I began having the worst migraines that I’ve had in a while and I told my current doctor about it, thankfully this one took me seriously. It was an emotional experience, having someone who was willing to listen, and I teared up a bit while I was talking to her and explaining my past experience with my former doctor. I just want to thank you so much for encouraging migraine sufferers to advocate for themselves. You’re totally right: it’s hard to understand the pain if you don’t go through it. I hope you are doing well, and I wish you all the best! 💕
You most definitely right. If you don’t go through it...you don’t have any idea! Keep going strong 💪 all of you...that are suffering today. A lot of people have NO frigging idea! .
I hope you're getting some better help. I have finally found relief the past fews months without having to take pills during the week. My mom has had one headache in her life and thankfully she's been supportive BUT she never understood until she had a headache (sinus). Finding a supportive md is so important. My pcp now personally gets it and I'm using Ajovy thanks to them and its been a miracle. It really is a draining experience physically, emotionally and financially.
I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with this too. There’s no way anyone can understand a bad migraine unless they’ve experienced it themselves. Glad you found a Dr that took you seriously. I’ve found Functional MDs can be very helpful and know what tests to order to figure out the root cause of your migraines. Mine was chemical toxicity because I don’t make enough glutathione. The treatment was life saving for me. I don’t want to get too dark but at my worst when I was having nonstop migraines for days on end, I was about to give up. I wouldn’t wish that pain on my worst enemy.
Always love your vlogs so much. Giving you an extra bug hug for all you deal with. For me it’s so helpful to see some of the real hard parts of your life even as someone who is so inspiring and accomplished so much- it makes you that much more inspiring. I can’t imagine the navigation of this in a public way but you do it so beautifully. I have my own very challenging elements in my life and I’m glad I don’t have to navigate those things in the public eye. You’re the best Taylor. 🖤🖤🖤
@@taylorwynn ^agreed 💗 appreciate everything that you do share, and how you share it, especially knowing how hard it can be to evaluate how much to share. Wishing you all the best!
A killer migraine is the worst ! Migraine is worse than childbirth pain. I gave birth 3 times with no pain management, childbirth pain was not much in comparison to some migraines I have had, or when I had kidney stones, so I opted to say no to meds. I was coping well with the temporary pain during delivery. I also used to go to a doctors office a few times to have a shot during killer migraines. After menopause, I now rarely get a migraine and maybe killer migraine once a year. Congrats to Rachel ! Her baby is beautiful and seems super healthy. She looked like a cuddle bug baby ! So sweet.
As someone who suffers from migraines I always appreciate your health updates. I’m so sad for all you go thru but you are such a boss for handling it and still living your life the way you want to while managing that type of pain!🖤
I really appreciate you sharing health updates. I have a chronic illness and it can feel really isolating because i feel like everyone else is enjoying life. It makes me feel like i am not alone.
Perfect timing! I was needing something to watch lol Edit: I appreciate the health reality and updates. I have very different chronic issues but it's so exhausting and I feel so alone so often because people really don't understand the struggles that we deal with on an everyday basis.
I actually love when you talk about your experiences with migraines. Im in the same boat and it makes me feel way less alone. Finally got good insurance and I have an appointment at AZ Mayo Clinic next week thank God🙏🏻
As a fellow migraine sufferer and cancer survivor, I do appreciate that you talk about chronic illnesses and chronic pain on your channel. You are so articulate and all of us out here are rooting for you. I can't imagine how hard it is to publicly share things, but I just wanted you to know there are people who appreciate your vulnerability and authenticity. Thank you for your videos, you are inspiring and such an amazing role model! Thank you for being your real, authentic self, even when it's difficult and painful. All of your advice is spot on, it is SO hard to advocate for yourself in such a broken healthcare system. Just wanted you to know that there are people who appreciate you sharing your journey! 🖤
It’s so admirable of you to admit that not everyone can go out of state for medical care. I just love that about you, your videos are so genuine! Hope these providers can give you some relief! ❤️
Oh my goodness, Rachel's baby is beautiful! I'm so happy for her, and you!🖤 I can relate to the ER visits... and how hard it is to talk to people about chronic health issues. I'm glad that you share your reality with us. On a good day, I have maybe four good hours a day. Washing my hair is a MAJOR accomplishment! I'm so glad your pain level finally improved❤
When I feel myself going downhill I make sure 1. My bed is clean 2. My hair/body is clean. Because if I have to go to the hospital they keep me for a week and I at least want to start that week clean 😭😭😂😂
You have my complete sympathy. I suffer with migraines not to your level but have been bed ridden for days with them and this has been happening for 30 years. I completely understand. I do hope you find some relief somewhere soon.
You should not shy away from talking about your experiences with migraines in my humble opinion. Being a lifelong migraine sufferer myself, I find connecting and listening to stories of other people with the same condition comforting, relatable, and very informative. In general love your channel....it's evident all the hard work, long hours, and dedication you pour forth. Love you!! 🤗🤗😇
Hearing the stat about migraine pain being worse than labor from that survey and from these comments feels pretty validating. There are no words to even try to explain the pain to people who don’t know. Grateful for you and your followers. We’re not alone!
I think ppl shld stop thinking they have an opinion on every darn thing. We love how real u r! Share what u can but if it is stressful don’t worry abt it. We watch u for a variety of reasons.
I appreciate you sharing your personal health issues. It's a reminder that we all have our problems even when we only see the "highlight reels" on social media. I know it makes a lot of us feel less alone in health problems ❤️
Long term healthcare worker (folks with disabilities, including memory care) here, everything you said about the system is right on par! Cannot wait for Medicare benefits when I’m older. Everyone should have quality healthcare that’s affordable, it shouldn’t be a luxury! One thing about Mayo- they tend to send a bill before insurance has cleared. Billing department is a bit too quick for that non-profit…. But they do provide some of the best care my individuals have experienced, both Rochester & Mankato campuses. Sending love, light & strength while you find a team who listens, and a care plan that gives you peace 💙
Thank you so much for being transparent and sharing your journey with us, it helps to normalise and reduce stigma.. I am a fellow chronic pain sufferer (back injury and CFS) and I have had Hemiplegic migraines with stroke like symptoms since I was a child, my first TIA was at 15.. My youngest daughter has AIWS and her migraines are just cruel too.. The fact that someone like you with a following is helping to make people aware of migraines and chronic pain conditions is incredibly important and I appreciate you so so much for doing so.. Thank you xx
My heart hurts that you suffer as much as you do. The pain is like no other. I get episodes where I go for about 40 days without a break in migraines and I'm typically hospitalized for several days to over a week. I now get seizures with my migraines. Oh how fun they are!! As much as I hate hearing you are in so much pain, it helps to know that I am not alone. Wishing you many, many pain free days!! - Maura
Chronic pain is so tough to navigate. I rely heavily on nerve block, epidural and Botox injections to control my pain. You are so inspiring to watch, as I sometimes feel like I’ve become a shell of myself because my health issues always take priority over life decisions. Seeing you travel and live life to the fullest when you feel well is really wonderful to watch. Sending you good health vibes! ❤️
I'm currently trying to fight off Day 5, of a 5 day migraine flare. It's so validating to hear you talk about how hard this all is to talk about. There's some people who get it. And others that don't. And I always am fighting with myself whether or not I should spend the energy to try to explain to those other people. But often, it's not worth my energy. Haha. 🤷🏼♀️ Just trying to survive over here, and hanging with my people who get it makes that easier.
I think I comment this every time you mention you may not want to share about your pain. But as many of your followers seem to also deal with, I have chronic pain that I feel like NO ONE understands because from the outside I do look healthy. Thank you SO much for sharing, it helps us all feel less alone.
Taylor, I’m so grateful to have found you. I have chronic migraines too, & its comforting to know there is someone else in the world is not only experiencing the same thing, but also is so capable of expressing what it feels like. Only ever share what you want though, you have no obligation to tell people stuff if you don’t want to/can’t. I hope by the time you read this, you’re starting to feel a little better for now
I REALLY appreciate you talking about your experiences with chronic pain. So many young people are overlooked in their pain and it can be hard to find a sense of community.
One of the strongest, toughest RUclipsr I watch ... I truly don’t know how you do it ... your strength is truly admirable ... I wish you the best with your health 🙏🏼
Seeing Rach’s baby is giving me all the baby feels! What a cutie! As a mom of a preteen who has been in and out of the hospital for the past year thinking there were gastro issues but now seeing neuro for migraines, I appreciate your willingness to share. Your journey could help someone else who is walking the same path. I find other peoples experiences help me to ask questions I didn’t think to ask or to try different remedies that I might not have thought of on my own. I do hope your new course of action is a positive and beneficial one!
I’m so sorry Taylor. I suffer with chronic invisible illnesses too and it can be very draining to share but at the same time good to bring awareness. It’s a constant battle for sure.
Please please please keep up the health talks. It makes me feel so much better because we have so many of the same issues. I find you so inspiring. Chronic migraines are so debilitating... I haven’t had a “job” for a few years as I was caretaking for my dad. Sadly though he passed away so now I’m trying to figure out what kind of jobs will best suit my unpredictable health issues (plus extreme anxiety). I hate feeling so limited.
Thank you for sharing the good, bad, & ugly of having a chronic condition… And how you still manage your job and day to day life. I think your honesty is refreshing in today’s airbrushed insta-world. I stand with you. 💕
As someone who's suffered from chronic migraine since 2006 (at least) I always appreciate when you talk about your health struggles and how you navigate them. I always request that people don't give me advice unless they have experienced or know the true science (and unfortunate lack thereof) of migraines. If you're going to tell me to drink more water, please don't. Or if someone says "omg yeah I get *headaches* too"... They are not the same. You are 100% accurate about the numbness. Mine get so bad, (tw) that I almost lost my arm doing factory work because I had such a bad migraine. My bone was almost crushed, but the only pain I felt, was my migraine. I think of you often and hope that you're always one step closer to finding relief in your health struggles. I'm glad you kept that segment in your vlog. It's important stuff. Yes, the healthcare system sucks here. Ugh... I hope Chicago treats you well and I'm excited for the vids to come!
I’m jumping in during your migraine chat. I have Cerebral Palsy and hydrocephalus which means I’m well versed in health issues and headaches. I get health anxiety and that’s without RUclips. Thank you for sharing the ups and downs. I appreciate the realness. Love your channel.
I’ve never had a migraine and can’t begin to understand, but the videos you talk about your health are my favorite to watch. I’m constantly hoping you hit a breakthrough with your doctors and think it’s awesome how much research and answers you’re trying to find and advocating for yourself because there’s just so many health issues that just don’t have enough research on, and you’re helping push that research along.
It's encouraging to see you still managing to be independent and successful despite the pain. I had my first I-think-I-need-to-go-to-the-ER migraine a few weeks ago...you're not kidding when you say you'd do ANYTHING to make it stop. I already suffer from treatment-resistant chronic pain but this migraine trumped that. I can't imagine what you've been battling. I truly appreciate you sharing your health struggles, when you feel you're able.
I’m so glad you share whenever you don’t feel well. You shook me out of my own whine state. You live your life and are so strong even when you’re in severe pain or don’t feel well. I needed that to put my own life in more of a gratitude state. Also I wasn’t aware that Benadryl helps with migraines so I’m able to take it to prevent it when I feel it. Thank you for sharing. It’s the people who are always like life is perfect and I have so much energy and I never get tired or sick, those people make me feel like I’m not normal or that I’m weak or my life isn’t up to certain expectations. I love the realness of your videos.
I really appreciate you discussing your health journey with us. I suffer from a rare type of migraine and it’s a journey that feels quite lonely. Nobody understands what I go thru or how debilitating it is. It’s basically a disability. There are so many limitations I have now - can’t go to stores alone, can’t drive on freeways or highways (I need easy access to pull over so I only drive in town), and I have to work remotely now. It inspires me that you do your best to keep life as normal as possible. Thank you for making me and probably hundreds of other people on here who have all different types of migraines feel a little less lonely.
Taylor, I specifically seek out your videos when I feel overwhelmed by my own chronic pain. Just to see someone else going through similar things, and dealing with that same balance of trying to decide how much to share with others, makes me feel seen when the pain is invisible. Sorry you have to put up with people, and I'm glad you don't give them your mental energy. Thank you for doing your best, because people like me are empowered by it ♡♡♡
As someone who also deals with chronic pain and mental health issues, it’s always so nice to hear other people speak about things like this. I have severe depression and anxiety which are both so much worse when my pain is bad, and I’m so used to masking my symptoms and pain that it’s hard for people to understand when I explain how I’m doing. I hope your injections worked this time and you’re feeling a little better.
Taylor, I am so sorry that you had such a bad migraine during a happy week in Seattle! You're in my thoughts for some pain free months while you decide where to live and explore new places. You're such a wonderful light to see in my feed, and I just wish you all the best in all your endeavors and for finding relief for your health.
Thank you for sharing stuff about your health. I don’t know anyone in person who experiences migraines like I do, so watching your videos and hearing you talk about it makes me feel less lonely when it comes to that.
As someone with chronic pain, my heart goes out to you. I understand how you feel about people not getting it. I’m sure living in the public eye on RUclips can be harsh. Sending lots of healing and comfort.
Girl, you’re not alone. And thank you for sharing about your migraine attacks because it reminds me I’m not alone in it either! Pain can be so isolating, especially when people don’t “get” it. Like you’re already vulnerable and then to share your story about it and people are trolls…. Ugh. I wish you many pain free days and a good support crew of peeps who DO get it!
Dearest Taylor, Whilst I fully understand you not wanting to share all your health issues, I just wanted to tell you that even the tiniest amount you’ve shared has really helped me with my own issues. You are such a remarkable woman and I wish you all the best with the next steps of your travel and medical care xx
Each day you’ll enjoyable even on your worst likely feel different on what you want to share. W/ an autoimmune thing myself, few can be trusted to understand. But if you want to share a rough day -you are so loved people can “learn” to understand. You are educating your generation all the way to mine ( being 58). You genuinely are a gem even on what you think is your worst day.
You talking about your pain helps me so much! There was a long time that I just didn't live any kind of life and now I live it and do everything.....and then just handle the bad times. Watching you go out and live and deal helps so much. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for talking about it.
When I lived in Seattle for a year and a half, the late summers cracked me up. Coming from living in Mississippi for 24years, the summers in Seattle were INCREDIBLE. Whenever someone mentioned how "hot" it was I always laughed and said, "Let me take you to MS in the middle of August." It's unreal how hot and muggy it gets. I do not miss it.
I lived in Mississippi for over a year, and I live in WA now (originally from WA). I don’t complain about our summers here anymore. LOL. Southern summers are dreadful. However, in addition to our muggy summers here, there’s the wildfire smoke/haze to deal with. That’s a recent phenomenon. Never had to deal with that growing up.
I grew up in South Mississippi and moved away when I was 15. I recently moved back now in my early forties, I had forgotten how hot and humid it was. Absolutely miserable when out of the AC.
@@lainafields yeah I don't even own a formal coat. I can get away with cardigans and light jackets in the winter here. Doesn't even get that cold, maybe a few day here and there will get cold overnight but even then it's nothing like Missouri and Oklahoma winters where I used to live.
My husband and I just moved to Mississippi a few months ago from Minnesota and we love the weather. Sitting outside right now in the 90's and loving it. All depends where you come from. Lol!
Loved seeing grandma baerrito (gorgeous!) and baby baerrito (adorable!). Please try not to stress about what to share - whatever you feel comfortable sharing is fine. That said, I do really appreciate you telling us about your experience. Many of us have chronic pain and invisible disabilities- seeing someone I admire be real about it is helpful (I don’t know why! Guess it helps me not feel alone?). I’m sorry for what you’re going through- you are fierce!Sending love. ❤️
You’re helping people feel less alone when you do decide to share your health journey ❤️❤️ keep you’re chin up…sending good vibes 😎 really enjoying living vicariously through you’re travels.
I think I can speak for all of us when I say we’re grateful for whatever you can share. If you share the more personal/health stuff, great. We like to be here for you in those times too. But if you prefer not to share, we understand too. Fingers crossed your new journey is the start to some relief 🤞🏻💛
I’ve had migraines before, but only one time did I have what you are describing. I was quite literally screaming and crying in my mothers lap, and I was like 29. The pain was absolutely traumatic, and I can only imagine what you’re going through dealing with that regularly. I’ve been researching a lot lately about social media and it’s affects on us. One of the running themes is this view of perfection. The stereotypical influencer perfect life with carefully curated highs and highlights that causes us to compare. I just wanted to thank you for being transparent about the struggles. I think it’s extremely important to show the human element. It helps dispel the perception that we’re viewing these perfect individuals who travel and vlog and live perfect lives without issue. You’re brave for sharing, I appreciate you for it, and I hope more than anything that you’re feeling better. 💜
Love to everyone who is going through it. Many ppl cannot imagine how chronic pain or serious attack of pain works. I know I fully don't remember when things are really bad.
I so relate to you and your experiences with chronic pain. I admire your attitude and willingness to still travel and do things when you’re able. Sending love and spoons your way! 💜🥄
I'm a total puddle seeing Aunt Taylor in full force 😍 congrats to Rach, and her sweet baby girl! Also, I've had one migraine in my life. It was the absolute worst experience and I wasn't even throwing up. I was v sensitive to light, nauseous, my head felt like a balloon that was being squeezed. I laid on the tile in the basement behind a piece of furniture so the light didn't bother me. Never again. I have mad respect for anyone who tolerates frequent migraines. I was miserable and have not forgotten that experience over 15 years later.
So very sorry you have not found a constant relief for you migraines. My mom and daughters suffer from extreme migraine. I got very lucky and only have a few a year. Sending all the good vibes that Texas is you saving grace.
I have been a subscriber since about 2014! I love your channel and I am so sorry that you have to suffer through migraines. 😢 I am constantly inspired by your life and the positive attitude that you have. I can’t even imagine being in your shoes! Thank you for sharing, and know that the right people will always support you 😊
Taylor, I personally appreciate your honesty and want to know what's going on in your life-good and bad. I know I'm not the only subscriber of yours who considers you a friend. We support you and love you, migraines and all! 😘 Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing your life with us!
Sometimes it’s always better to talk about it. It’s extremely hard to ignore the comments but remember the good ones. As someone with chronic illness as well, it’s hard for people to understand what your actually going through. Hang in there. You’re doing great! Love the vlogs. Enjoy Chicago. My best friend lives there and says there is so much to do! 🥰
I’m so sorry you have to deal with migraines so often. I grew up with monthly migraines. The pain, vomiting, light and sound sensitivity, vision changes, confusion and loss of ability to make sense when speaking. They’re scary and painful. I can’t imagine getting them weekly. I truly hope you can find some relief. I hate when people walk around saying “I have such a migraine” umm… no, no you don’t. Lol Don’t worry about what other people say. Just do what is best for you! You’re a warrior for doing all you do with chronic pain like that. Truly commendable.
Currently binging all your travel vlogs to gear up for my next solo trip. I tend to talk myself out of doing new things due to my chronic pain but you inspire me to keep going!
I totally understand your frustration on sharing your health stuff, I feel the same when making new friends and even when dating, its so hard to try and explain something to someone who just doesn't understand, especially when it's chronic health related! How much do you share, all or nothing or just a little bit, do you pretend your fine and play it down or show it all, what reactions will they have etc! I can't even imagine how difficult this would be for sharing on the Internet but also having your privacy, having people know you but feel like your leaving out a huge part of your day/week/month/year! Share what you feel comfortable with, have a rant with non specific details, we're all here to listen and we all have well wishes for you, your true followers understand, care and would never judge or make "try this" comments! Hope your weeks ahead get a little lighter ❤️
Thank you for sharing your migraine experience. As someone with a chronic illness and get migraines frequently, I appreciate hearing from someone who relates and understands.
Oh I always tear up a bit when you have health stuff like this. I have no idea how you navigate the pain and still approach life so openly. I had Covid in January and it felt like an incredible fever with a migraine - I couldn’t get up or really open my eyes for 2 days. At that point I was like please just make it stop this is the worst pain. I can’t imagine how you deal regularly. Really hoping you get answers and relief sooner rather than later. I know you have no other option, but you’re pretty strong to deal with all that and also give so much to your community of fans. We love you 🌯🌯🌯
I'm so sorry you have to deal with such pain. My dad would call you a "tough country kid." I thank you for sharing whatever you feel like sharing. My own chronic pain keeps me at home so much. I revel in your adventures!
Thank you for being real and sharing what you feel comfortable sharing. There will always be people who say “well have you tried..”, there’s no avoiding them. But I understand. I’ve had chronic head pain for over 10 years now and it escalates to migraines if I’m not careful. I’ve been watching you for years and years now and I’m so proud of you. I love how you acknowledge your privilege of being able to see and pay for all kinds of doctors. I’m lucky to have been born in Australia where everything has been free except for when I chose to see private doctors which was only $200 per appointment. I can’t imagine what people go through in the US seeking healthcare. I hope you’re feeling better now. We see you and we love you ❤️
I am actually really glad you mentioned your "one of the bad ones" migraine in this - I personally don't know anyone besides myself who gets migraines like that, so although of course I empathize with you, at the same time, it is really reassuring and comforting to hear someone else talk about what it's like and to know that at least someone out there shares my experience. Thank you for talking about it, for those of us who go through the same thing! You are helping spread information about a really misunderstood topic, which is doing so many of us such a huge service. THANK YOU.
What a beautiful thing to see you holding Rach's baby! How special of a moment was that, so cool. And OMG!! The cutest chunky cheeks ever 🥰 Also: I fully understand about the migraines & chronic pain/illness stuff. It's brutal, and by far is way more painful than my experience with childbirth was! The first migraine I ever had, I literally had the thought "so THIS is what it feels like to die" cuz I didn't know what was happening to me, and had zero control over anything that was happening. Thoughts & support to all my fellow spoonies who are struggling today 🥄🥄 🖤
I love watching your videos, make up or vlogs, because of your realness! You show the good times and hard times which makes you so relatable❤️ and my favorite RUclipsr❤️
I've only had one or two migraines and it was excruciating. I never want to go through that again. So my heart breaks for you that have to go through this so often. I'm glad you share and you're vulnerable with us. Your genuine supporters are here for you. Ignore the idiots the best you can.
Whenever you talk about your chronic pain I always feel guilty that I'm so relieved I don't have to deal with it. Mad props for pushing through it and relishing the good days, I would be fuckin useless.
For what it's worth I love hearing about your experiences, health included. I suffer from migraines as well and while it sucks that you're still dealing with them it helps me feel less alone! No one in my life can relate to my personal experiences with migraines ♡
Taylor, thank you for bringing visibility to migraine - I really think anything you say and choose to show is helpful. It is hard to understand if you haven’t experienced one, and it is still confusing and ever-changing even for those of us who do have them. Your videos unintentionally helped me figure out mine (I am the same age as you, and have had migraine since high school but the frequency of mine increased a lot in recent years). Your mentioning migraine in videos also help me feel less alone when I feel like no one understands the frustration and mixed emotions I feel over them. Appreciate you and all the kinds of content you post!💕 Seeing you travel and work through them is also very inspiring and motivating, as sometimes I feel like I will never be able to do many of things I want to do because of migraine.
As someone who also suffers terribly from migraines I am very impressed by your travels. I am a verified homebody and find migraines to be quite debilitating. Keep going with your quest for improved relief!
Really eye opening when you share your health, been watching before you went on accutane. Wow you've come so far in life, but my heart breaks for the fact you still are dealing with this. Your an inspiration Taylor and so strong! Thank you for being vulnerable and letting us all in on whats going on ❤
As someone who is also struggling with chronic pain for years now I totally feel what you are saying. From doctors ignoring you to people around not understanding the amount of will and energy it takes just to do normal things. But we are strong, we don't give us and we will so everything to enjoy life. Take care Taylor and wish you all the best with what you are trying out now! 🤗
I hope you feel better soon. I have so much respect for you. You are so strong and tough. I admire how strong you are. Watching your videos helps me deal with my depression. I thought about suicide but I am taking medication and receiving help from my wonderful doctor. You are beautiful on the inside and outside. I like your personality. My depression got worst after my mother died of colon cancer at the age of 49. I didn't want to accept that I would never see my mother again. Thank you for bringing joy and happiness back to my life with your videos!🤗😘😘
I suffer from depression too. Mine is treatment resistant so I started ketamine infusion therapy a few months ago. It didn’t work so I start transcranial magnetic stimulation this Saturday. It’s 40 sessions every weekday for 9 weeks. If this doesn’t work I’m going to try shock therapy. I’m at the end of my rope and the suicidal idealizations are coming fast and furious.
@@nicegigi6299 I'm so sorry you suffer from depression. Please stay strong and know that there are people who care about you. I know I'm a stranger but I'm here for you if you need support. 🤗
I’m a subscriber that definitely, wholeheartedly is so thankful that you share your health problems with us. You’re helping to normalize this and helping so many understand. My husband and I have been wanting to move aboard a boat & travel and that feels more feasible because of you.
As someone who has chronic migraines, and had to drop out of college and move home because of those struggles, it’s nice to know I’m not alone. No one in my immediate circle knows what it’s like or has migraines/chronic pain. It’s not fun and not saying I like seeing you in pain, but nice to know I’m not alone and I can actually relate to somebody! You encourage me to keep advocating for myself and not letting it hinder my goals💗💗 always love your rawness and realness with us.
I appreciate your honesty and openness about the health stuff. I admit I won't understand but I think it's also important for people to hear the good and the bad. I enjoy every one of your vlogs. I'm thinking of you and wishing you better health days ahead 💙
I’m so sorry you’ve been feeling so bad. I don’t have the level of chronic pain that you do but I’m in pain all the time. You are so brave. I pray that you get an answer and relief from the pain. Love you Taylor.
Im dealing with a migraine as i watch this and i cant tell you how much of a relief it is to hear of someone else who truly understands the pain. I can never explain it properly but they just suck. Hope you get some good news with your upcoming doctors appointments 💕
Sometimes it is just nice to know your not alone and be reminded everyone's Instagram reel and vlogs are just the high points. When you are feeling shitty it is hard to only see that so thanks for sharing.
When you're in chronic pain you do get numb to it... for a while. You'll definitely have relapses where it all becomes too much and too emotional again and you just want to not be in pain!! But it sounds like you've learned by now to just kind of breathe through that and not escalate it freaking out. Wishing you the best, Taylor! I always appreciate the little snippets of how your health is doing because I have a chronic illness too, but I understand your exhaustion with the feeling of having to explain it to new viewers. Do what works for you and makes you feel authentic.
Nothing but love and support for you here! I’m chronically ill and home bound. My sister and I both deal with severe chronic pain. Going to the ER for our migraines is torture (lights and sounds, tests, meds not working…). I think it’s helpful and brave of you to share your reality!
Thank you for being vulnerable with us occasionally. It honestly helps me feel less alone with milder but similar issues. Much love. 💜 Oh, and you look beautiful btw!
I also live with migraines since I was 11 as well as other chronic pain from an autoimmune disease that leaves me disabled off and on. I empathize so much. I have so much respect for your strength and courage. It took me 22 years to even get a diagnosis. Health is the most valuable assets anyone could have! I checked out Sonder and it looks so cool! Thanks for that tip. I hope they add more Canadian cities!
To be honest, I followed you because I too have chronic pain issues. Knowing that I'm not alone helps. I'm following your journey so don't ever feel bad about sharing whatever part of the iceberg you want to because you are helping those of us that are also in this fight! I sincerely hope you are feeling better!
It’s helpful to hear you talk about your struggles with your migraines. People who don’t get them sometimes think I’m being dramatic when I deal with my bad ones and if makes dealing with them that much harder. Thanks for sharing ❤️
The way you navigate life with your health issues is inspiring. I wish you all the best, no matter how much you choose to share. You make me feel so much less alone with my own chronic pain issues. I have my first neurologist appointment next week, and I’m scared, but seeing how strong you can be makes me feel like I can be too. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I hope your appointment goes well; wishing you the best! 🖤
I pray your appointment goes well and I offer encouragement to see a different neurologist if you don't click with this one. Migraine treatment can be tricky and you really need a neurologist who listens to you, who doesn't try to make you fit the treatment instead of tailoring the treatment to meet your needs.
@@hollywebster6844 100% agree! It took me years to finally find an actual headache specialist and she's also an amazing person who listens. So important.
Wishing you the absolute best honey 💙💙💙
Good luck, dear
I can validate the pain level. I have had chronic migraine for over 25 years, I am in my mid forties now. I have given birth to an 8.0 pound baby and a 10.2 pound baby. A bad migraine is worse than labor. I am on regular Aimovig, Qulipta, etc. and the rescue shots don't always work for me either. I hope you have a good long spell before your next bad episode. I see you and I can empathize. Hugs.
I love hearing someone else talk about Aimovig. Of course, not all medicines work for all people but I got put on Aimovig 2 years ago and it brings me to tears telling other people about what a miracle it has been for me.
I agree with this, I don’t think ever experienced a truly bad migraine but I would take labor over a migraine, I had an all natural labor and gave birth to an 11 lb baby
Head pain and mouth pain are the worst of any that you could possibly feel
Fellow migraine person. I’m in my 40’s and it’s been basically my entire life and I’ve passed this down to my teen daughter which sucks & I feel so guilty. I struggle with down cycles and my triggers - and totally can relate to what you’re saying regarding pain and sharing and hearing comments from others that mean well but don’t “get it.” I’m here for the makeup and hair and travel, but I do really relate to you (even tho I’m so much older!) on some health issues too. ❤️
I have had great success with the new-ish Ubrelvy. Nothing has helped the way it does. About 12-15 y of migraines about 8 days a month are (fingers crossed) a thing of the past. Good luck everyone.
As a medical provider, I see chronic pain all the time. I am amazed at your resilience and your drive to do everything you do despite your health concerns. I see it hold a lot of people back and it’s inspiring to see everything you accomplish with what you go through behind the scenes. I hope one day you don’t have to suffer as often or nearly as much as you do ❤️ sending love and best wishes 🙏🏼 I’ve been watching you for many many years and love you
Thank you so much. This is very kind 🖤🖤
I’m laying in a hospital bed after going to the eye doctor only to discover I have something call optic neuritis. Which is a sign of MS and apparently all of my chronic migraines may not have just been migraines this whole time. Our medical journeys are personal and what we chooses to share and keep private is a very personal choice. I started watching your videos because of foundation I stayed 8 years later because of you and this caring, like minded community you have created. I come here when I’m sad or happy and always find someone who gets it even if just in a comment I will never reply too. Thank you Taylor and her people for just being you.
Good luck to you.
Wow…’stay strong 💪🏼
Reading this made me realize how much I take my health for granted. I’m sorry you are going through this. I also want to thank you for posting this, this is a good reminder to be appreciative of small to big things we take for granted. Hope you are doing better❤.
Thank you for sharing with us, Taylor. It's honestly so easy to forget that everyone has big shit going on behind the scenes that's so easily disguised on social media. Honestly I had been wondering about Mayo Clinic but it was obviously none of my business! I'm excited for you to have a new path for treatment and wish you nothing but the best. f
I also suffer from chronic migraine and I appreciate seeing you talk about even a small portion of it. It’s so hard to share because I always get hit with the “drink water” by friends when I’m practically drowning from the amount of water I drink. Anytime someone starts to say “have you tried” I just completely zone away and can’t manage it. And medical trauma and ptsd from horrible doctor and ER visits is so real. I feel for you! I hope the injections gave you some relief. Good luck!
“Drink water” is the fucking worst. Or “I get headaches too sometimes” lol no. Feel for you girl, sorry you also deal with them.
The "have you tried" people are the worst. Like yes, I have tried drinking water, taking Tylenol... Etc. Smh. Sending lots of love your way. ❤️
My own mother does the ‘drink water’ thing it makes me want to scream.
You are honestly one of the only people who allows me to feel sane when it comes to discussions about migraines. I’ve been getting migraines more often the older I get. A few years ago I went to a doctor after dealing with migraines that would wake me up from sleep in tears because the pain was that intense and sudden (kinda felt like someone was throwing a fastball at my head) and I was completely dismissed by my doc. He just prescribed medication that didnt help and sent me on my way. More recently I began having the worst migraines that I’ve had in a while and I told my current doctor about it, thankfully this one took me seriously. It was an emotional experience, having someone who was willing to listen, and I teared up a bit while I was talking to her and explaining my past experience with my former doctor. I just want to thank you so much for encouraging migraine sufferers to advocate for themselves. You’re totally right: it’s hard to understand the pain if you don’t go through it. I hope you are doing well, and I wish you all the best! 💕
You most definitely right. If you don’t go through it...you don’t have any idea! Keep going strong 💪 all of you...that are suffering today. A lot of people have NO frigging idea!
.
I hope you're getting some better help. I have finally found relief the past fews months without having to take pills during the week. My mom has had one headache in her life and thankfully she's been supportive BUT she never understood until she had a headache (sinus). Finding a supportive md is so important. My pcp now personally gets it and I'm using Ajovy thanks to them and its been a miracle. It really is a draining experience physically, emotionally and financially.
I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with this too. There’s no way anyone can understand a bad migraine unless they’ve experienced it themselves. Glad you found a Dr that took you seriously. I’ve found Functional MDs can be very helpful and know what tests to order to figure out the root cause of your migraines. Mine was chemical toxicity because I don’t make enough glutathione. The treatment was life saving for me. I don’t want to get too dark but at my worst when I was having nonstop migraines for days on end, I was about to give up. I wouldn’t wish that pain on my worst enemy.
Always love your vlogs so much. Giving you an extra bug hug for all you deal with. For me it’s so helpful to see some of the real hard parts of your life even as someone who is so inspiring and accomplished so much- it makes you that much more inspiring. I can’t imagine the navigation of this in a public way but you do it so beautifully. I have my own very challenging elements in my life and I’m glad I don’t have to navigate those things in the public eye. You’re the best Taylor. 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you for saying this 🖤🖤🖤
@@taylorwynn ^agreed 💗 appreciate everything that you do share, and how you share it, especially knowing how hard it can be to evaluate how much to share. Wishing you all the best!
A killer migraine is the worst ! Migraine is worse than childbirth pain. I gave birth 3 times with no pain management, childbirth pain was not much in comparison to some migraines I have had, or when I had kidney stones, so I opted to say no to meds. I was coping well with the temporary pain during delivery. I also used to go to a doctors office a few times to have a shot during killer migraines. After menopause, I now rarely get a migraine and maybe killer migraine once a year. Congrats to Rachel ! Her baby is beautiful and seems super healthy. She looked like a cuddle bug baby ! So sweet.
As someone who suffers from migraines I always appreciate your health updates. I’m so sad for all you go thru but you are such a boss for handling it and still living your life the way you want to while managing that type of pain!🖤
I really appreciate you sharing health updates. I have a chronic illness and it can feel really isolating because i feel like everyone else is enjoying life. It makes me feel like i am not alone.
Perfect timing! I was needing something to watch lol
Edit: I appreciate the health reality and updates. I have very different chronic issues but it's so exhausting and I feel so alone so often because people really don't understand the struggles that we deal with on an everyday basis.
Yes, this. People only see me on days when I can get myself together and leave the house, so most people don't realize what my daily life is like.
I actually love when you talk about your experiences with migraines. Im in the same boat and it makes me feel way less alone. Finally got good insurance and I have an appointment at AZ Mayo Clinic next week thank God🙏🏻
As a fellow migraine sufferer and cancer survivor, I do appreciate that you talk about chronic illnesses and chronic pain on your channel. You are so articulate and all of us out here are rooting for you. I can't imagine how hard it is to publicly share things, but I just wanted you to know there are people who appreciate your vulnerability and authenticity.
Thank you for your videos, you are inspiring and such an amazing role model! Thank you for being your real, authentic self, even when it's difficult and painful. All of your advice is spot on, it is SO hard to advocate for yourself in such a broken healthcare system. Just wanted you to know that there are people who appreciate you sharing your journey! 🖤
Girl..please share....you never know when someone who is watching and going through the same thing you are....be the light.....stay strong
It’s so admirable of you to admit that not everyone can go out of state for medical care. I just love that about you, your videos are so genuine! Hope these providers can give you some relief! ❤️
Oh my goodness, Rachel's baby is beautiful! I'm so happy for her, and you!🖤 I can relate to the ER visits... and how hard it is to talk to people about chronic health issues. I'm glad that you share your reality with us. On a good day, I have maybe four good hours a day. Washing my hair is a MAJOR accomplishment! I'm so glad your pain level finally improved❤
When I feel myself going downhill I make sure 1. My bed is clean 2. My hair/body is clean. Because if I have to go to the hospital they keep me for a week and I at least want to start that week clean 😭😭😂😂
@@xxoldmagicxx Oh, I totally understand. My flares last weeks at a time, so I don’t have the strength. My husband helps out then!
@@xxoldmagicxx totally felt that comment. Too true.
THE BAERITTO, NinaRRITTO, BaByritto.. in all forms is the most beautiful baby I’ve seen in a long time, congratulations mama and family
You have my complete sympathy. I suffer with migraines not to your level but have been bed ridden for days with them and this has been happening for 30 years. I completely understand. I do hope you find some relief somewhere soon.
You should not shy away from talking about your experiences with migraines in my humble opinion. Being a lifelong migraine sufferer myself, I find connecting and listening to stories of other people with the same condition comforting, relatable, and very informative. In general love your channel....it's evident all the hard work, long hours, and dedication you pour forth. Love you!! 🤗🤗😇
Hearing the stat about migraine pain being worse than labor from that survey and from these comments feels pretty validating. There are no words to even try to explain the pain to people who don’t know. Grateful for you and your followers. We’re not alone!
I think ppl shld stop thinking they have an opinion on every darn thing. We love how real u r! Share what u can but if it is stressful don’t worry abt it. We watch u for a variety of reasons.
I appreciate you sharing your personal health issues. It's a reminder that we all have our problems even when we only see the "highlight reels" on social media. I know it makes a lot of us feel less alone in health problems ❤️
Long term healthcare worker (folks with disabilities, including memory care) here, everything you said about the system is right on par! Cannot wait for Medicare benefits when I’m older. Everyone should have quality healthcare that’s affordable, it shouldn’t be a luxury!
One thing about Mayo- they tend to send a bill before insurance has cleared. Billing department is a bit too quick for that non-profit…. But they do provide some of the best care my individuals have experienced, both Rochester & Mankato campuses.
Sending love, light & strength while you find a team who listens, and a care plan that gives you peace 💙
Thank you so much for being transparent and sharing your journey with us, it helps to normalise and reduce stigma.. I am a fellow chronic pain sufferer (back injury and CFS) and I have had Hemiplegic migraines with stroke like symptoms since I was a child, my first TIA was at 15.. My youngest daughter has AIWS and her migraines are just cruel too.. The fact that someone like you with a following is helping to make people aware of migraines and chronic pain conditions is incredibly important and I appreciate you so so much for doing so.. Thank you xx
My heart hurts that you suffer as much as you do. The pain is like no other. I get episodes where I go for about 40 days without a break in migraines and I'm typically hospitalized for several days to over a week. I now get seizures with my migraines. Oh how fun they are!! As much as I hate hearing you are in so much pain, it helps to know that I am not alone. Wishing you many, many pain free days!! - Maura
Chronic pain is so tough to navigate. I rely heavily on nerve block, epidural and Botox injections to control my pain. You are so inspiring to watch, as I sometimes feel like I’ve become a shell of myself because my health issues always take priority over life decisions. Seeing you travel and live life to the fullest when you feel well is really wonderful to watch. Sending you good health vibes! ❤️
I'm currently trying to fight off Day 5, of a 5 day migraine flare. It's so validating to hear you talk about how hard this all is to talk about. There's some people who get it. And others that don't. And I always am fighting with myself whether or not I should spend the energy to try to explain to those other people. But often, it's not worth my energy. Haha. 🤷🏼♀️ Just trying to survive over here, and hanging with my people who get it makes that easier.
I think I comment this every time you mention you may not want to share about your pain. But as many of your followers seem to also deal with, I have chronic pain that I feel like NO ONE understands because from the outside I do look healthy. Thank you SO much for sharing, it helps us all feel less alone.
Taylor, I’m so grateful to have found you. I have chronic migraines too, & its comforting to know there is someone else in the world is not only experiencing the same thing, but also is so capable of expressing what it feels like. Only ever share what you want though, you have no obligation to tell people stuff if you don’t want to/can’t. I hope by the time you read this, you’re starting to feel a little better for now
I REALLY appreciate you talking about your experiences with chronic pain. So many young people are overlooked in their pain and it can be hard to find a sense of community.
One of the strongest, toughest RUclipsr I watch ... I truly don’t know how you do it ... your strength is truly admirable ... I wish you the best with your health 🙏🏼
Seeing Rach’s baby is giving me all the baby feels! What a cutie!
As a mom of a preteen who has been in and out of the hospital for the past year thinking there were gastro issues but now seeing neuro for migraines, I appreciate your willingness to share. Your journey could help someone else who is walking the same path. I find other peoples experiences help me to ask questions I didn’t think to ask or to try different remedies that I might not have thought of on my own. I do hope your new course of action is a positive and beneficial one!
I’m so sorry Taylor. I suffer with chronic invisible illnesses too and it can be very draining to share but at the same time good to bring awareness. It’s a constant battle for sure.
Please please please keep up the health talks. It makes me feel so much better because we have so many of the same issues. I find you so inspiring. Chronic migraines are so debilitating... I haven’t had a “job” for a few years as I was caretaking for my dad. Sadly though he passed away so now I’m trying to figure out what kind of jobs will best suit my unpredictable health issues (plus extreme anxiety). I hate feeling so limited.
Thank you for sharing the good, bad, & ugly of having a chronic condition… And how you still manage your job and day to day life. I think your honesty is refreshing in today’s airbrushed insta-world. I stand with you. 💕
As someone who's suffered from chronic migraine since 2006 (at least) I always appreciate when you talk about your health struggles and how you navigate them. I always request that people don't give me advice unless they have experienced or know the true science (and unfortunate lack thereof) of migraines. If you're going to tell me to drink more water, please don't. Or if someone says "omg yeah I get *headaches* too"... They are not the same.
You are 100% accurate about the numbness. Mine get so bad, (tw) that I almost lost my arm doing factory work because I had such a bad migraine. My bone was almost crushed, but the only pain I felt, was my migraine. I think of you often and hope that you're always one step closer to finding relief in your health struggles. I'm glad you kept that segment in your vlog. It's important stuff. Yes, the healthcare system sucks here. Ugh... I hope Chicago treats you well and I'm excited for the vids to come!
I’m jumping in during your migraine chat. I have Cerebral Palsy and hydrocephalus which means I’m well versed in health issues and headaches. I get health anxiety and that’s without RUclips. Thank you for sharing the ups and downs. I appreciate the realness. Love your channel.
I’ve never had a migraine and can’t begin to understand, but the videos you talk about your health are my favorite to watch. I’m constantly hoping you hit a breakthrough with your doctors and think it’s awesome how much research and answers you’re trying to find and advocating for yourself because there’s just so many health issues that just don’t have enough research on, and you’re helping push that research along.
I hope your new plan of action gets you some more relief, Taylor! We are all rooting for you!
It's encouraging to see you still managing to be independent and successful despite the pain. I had my first I-think-I-need-to-go-to-the-ER migraine a few weeks ago...you're not kidding when you say you'd do ANYTHING to make it stop. I already suffer from treatment-resistant chronic pain but this migraine trumped that. I can't imagine what you've been battling. I truly appreciate you sharing your health struggles, when you feel you're able.
I’m so glad you share whenever you don’t feel well. You shook me out of my own whine state. You live your life and are so strong even when you’re in severe pain or don’t feel well. I needed that to put my own life in more of a gratitude state. Also I wasn’t aware that Benadryl helps with migraines so I’m able to take it to prevent it when I feel it. Thank you for sharing. It’s the people who are always like life is perfect and I have so much energy and I never get tired or sick, those people make me feel like I’m not normal or that I’m weak or my life isn’t up to certain expectations. I love the realness of your videos.
I completely understand people not understanding. I hope you feel better, Taylor
I really appreciate you discussing your health journey with us. I suffer from a rare type of migraine and it’s a journey that feels quite lonely. Nobody understands what I go thru or how debilitating it is. It’s basically a disability. There are so many limitations I have now - can’t go to stores alone, can’t drive on freeways or highways (I need easy access to pull over so I only drive in town), and I have to work remotely now. It inspires me that you do your best to keep life as normal as possible. Thank you for making me and probably hundreds of other people on here who have all different types of migraines feel a little less lonely.
Taylor, I specifically seek out your videos when I feel overwhelmed by my own chronic pain. Just to see someone else going through similar things, and dealing with that same balance of trying to decide how much to share with others, makes me feel seen when the pain is invisible. Sorry you have to put up with people, and I'm glad you don't give them your mental energy. Thank you for doing your best, because people like me are empowered by it ♡♡♡
As someone who also deals with chronic pain and mental health issues, it’s always so nice to hear other people speak about things like this. I have severe depression and anxiety which are both so much worse when my pain is bad, and I’m so used to masking my symptoms and pain that it’s hard for people to understand when I explain how I’m doing. I hope your injections worked this time and you’re feeling a little better.
Taylor, I am so sorry that you had such a bad migraine during a happy week in Seattle! You're in my thoughts for some pain free months while you decide where to live and explore new places. You're such a wonderful light to see in my feed, and I just wish you all the best in all your endeavors and for finding relief for your health.
Thank you for sharing stuff about your health. I don’t know anyone in person who experiences migraines like I do, so watching your videos and hearing you talk about it makes me feel less lonely when it comes to that.
As someone with chronic pain, my heart goes out to you. I understand how you feel about people not getting it. I’m sure living in the public eye on RUclips can be harsh. Sending lots of healing and comfort.
Girl, you’re not alone. And thank you for sharing about your migraine attacks because it reminds me I’m not alone in it either! Pain can be so isolating, especially when people don’t “get” it. Like you’re already vulnerable and then to share your story about it and people are trolls…. Ugh. I wish you many pain free days and a good support crew of peeps who DO get it!
Dearest Taylor,
Whilst I fully understand you not wanting to share all your health issues, I just wanted to tell you that even the tiniest amount you’ve shared has really helped me with my own issues. You are such a remarkable woman and I wish you all the best with the next steps of your travel and medical care xx
Each day you’ll enjoyable even on your worst likely feel different on what you want to share. W/ an autoimmune thing myself, few can be trusted to understand. But if you want to share a rough day -you are so loved people can “learn” to understand. You are educating your generation all the way to mine ( being 58). You genuinely are a gem even on what you think is your worst day.
You talking about your pain helps me so much! There was a long time that I just didn't live any kind of life and now I live it and do everything.....and then just handle the bad times. Watching you go out and live and deal helps so much. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for talking about it.
When I lived in Seattle for a year and a half, the late summers cracked me up. Coming from living in Mississippi for 24years, the summers in Seattle were INCREDIBLE. Whenever someone mentioned how "hot" it was I always laughed and said, "Let me take you to MS in the middle of August." It's unreal how hot and muggy it gets. I do not miss it.
I lived in Mississippi for over a year, and I live in WA now (originally from WA). I don’t complain about our summers here anymore. LOL. Southern summers are dreadful. However, in addition to our muggy summers here, there’s the wildfire smoke/haze to deal with. That’s a recent phenomenon. Never had to deal with that growing up.
I grew up in South Mississippi and moved away when I was 15. I recently moved back now in my early forties, I had forgotten how hot and humid it was. Absolutely miserable when out of the AC.
I was just thinking "Puffer jacket, what?" I Iive in northern Miss. and it's 89 right now.
@@lainafields yeah I don't even own a formal coat. I can get away with cardigans and light jackets in the winter here. Doesn't even get that cold, maybe a few day here and there will get cold overnight but even then it's nothing like Missouri and Oklahoma winters where I used to live.
My husband and I just moved to Mississippi a few months ago from Minnesota and we love the weather. Sitting outside right now in the 90's and loving it. All depends where you come from. Lol!
Loved seeing grandma baerrito (gorgeous!) and baby baerrito (adorable!). Please try not to stress about what to share - whatever you feel comfortable sharing is fine. That said, I do really appreciate you telling us about your experience. Many of us have chronic pain and invisible disabilities- seeing someone I admire be real about it is helpful (I don’t know why! Guess it helps me not feel alone?). I’m sorry for what you’re going through- you are fierce!Sending love. ❤️
You’re helping people feel less alone when you do decide to share your health journey ❤️❤️ keep you’re chin up…sending good vibes 😎 really enjoying living vicariously through you’re travels.
I think I can speak for all of us when I say we’re grateful for whatever you can share. If you share the more personal/health stuff, great. We like to be here for you in those times too. But if you prefer not to share, we understand too. Fingers crossed your new journey is the start to some relief 🤞🏻💛
I’ve had migraines before, but only one time did I have what you are describing. I was quite literally screaming and crying in my mothers lap, and I was like 29. The pain was absolutely traumatic, and I can only imagine what you’re going through dealing with that regularly. I’ve been researching a lot lately about social media and it’s affects on us. One of the running themes is this view of perfection. The stereotypical influencer perfect life with carefully curated highs and highlights that causes us to compare. I just wanted to thank you for being transparent about the struggles. I think it’s extremely important to show the human element. It helps dispel the perception that we’re viewing these perfect individuals who travel and vlog and live perfect lives without issue. You’re brave for sharing, I appreciate you for it, and I hope more than anything that you’re feeling better. 💜
Love to everyone who is going through it.
Many ppl cannot imagine how chronic pain or serious attack of pain works. I know I fully don't remember when things are really bad.
I so relate to you and your experiences with chronic pain. I admire your attitude and willingness to still travel and do things when you’re able. Sending love and spoons your way! 💜🥄
I'm a total puddle seeing Aunt Taylor in full force 😍 congrats to Rach, and her sweet baby girl!
Also, I've had one migraine in my life. It was the absolute worst experience and I wasn't even throwing up. I was v sensitive to light, nauseous, my head felt like a balloon that was being squeezed. I laid on the tile in the basement behind a piece of furniture so the light didn't bother me. Never again. I have mad respect for anyone who tolerates frequent migraines. I was miserable and have not forgotten that experience over 15 years later.
So very sorry you have not found a constant relief for you migraines. My mom and daughters suffer from extreme migraine. I got very lucky and only have a few a year. Sending all the good vibes that Texas is you saving grace.
I have been a subscriber since about 2014! I love your channel and I am so sorry that you have to suffer through migraines. 😢 I am constantly inspired by your life and the positive attitude that you have. I can’t even imagine being in your shoes! Thank you for sharing, and know that the right people will always support you 😊
Taylor, I personally appreciate your honesty and want to know what's going on in your life-good and bad. I know I'm not the only subscriber of yours who considers you a friend. We support you and love you, migraines and all! 😘 Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing your life with us!
Sometimes it’s always better to talk about it. It’s extremely hard to ignore the comments but remember the good ones. As someone with chronic illness as well, it’s hard for people to understand what your actually going through. Hang in there. You’re doing great! Love the vlogs. Enjoy Chicago. My best friend lives there and says there is so much to do! 🥰
You’re so brave to undertake all the travel with the medical challenges you have. I wish I had half the courage you do. Thanks for inspiring
I’m so sorry you have to deal with migraines so often. I grew up with monthly migraines. The pain, vomiting, light and sound sensitivity, vision changes, confusion and loss of ability to make sense when speaking. They’re scary and painful. I can’t imagine getting them weekly. I truly hope you can find some relief. I hate when people walk around saying “I have such a migraine” umm… no, no you don’t. Lol Don’t worry about what other people say. Just do what is best for you! You’re a warrior for doing all you do with chronic pain like that. Truly commendable.
Currently binging all your travel vlogs to gear up for my next solo trip. I tend to talk myself out of doing new things due to my chronic pain but you inspire me to keep going!
I totally understand your frustration on sharing your health stuff, I feel the same when making new friends and even when dating, its so hard to try and explain something to someone who just doesn't understand, especially when it's chronic health related! How much do you share, all or nothing or just a little bit, do you pretend your fine and play it down or show it all, what reactions will they have etc! I can't even imagine how difficult this would be for sharing on the Internet but also having your privacy, having people know you but feel like your leaving out a huge part of your day/week/month/year! Share what you feel comfortable with, have a rant with non specific details, we're all here to listen and we all have well wishes for you, your true followers understand, care and would never judge or make "try this" comments! Hope your weeks ahead get a little lighter ❤️
Thank you for sharing your migraine experience. As someone with a chronic illness and get migraines frequently, I appreciate hearing from someone who relates and understands.
Oh I always tear up a bit when you have health stuff like this. I have no idea how you navigate the pain and still approach life so openly. I had Covid in January and it felt like an incredible fever with a migraine - I couldn’t get up or really open my eyes for 2 days. At that point I was like please just make it stop this is the worst pain. I can’t imagine how you deal regularly. Really hoping you get answers and relief sooner rather than later. I know you have no other option, but you’re pretty strong to deal with all that and also give so much to your community of fans. We love you 🌯🌯🌯
I'm so sorry you have to deal with such pain. My dad would call you a "tough country kid." I thank you for sharing whatever you feel like sharing. My own chronic pain keeps me at home so much. I revel in your adventures!
Thank you for being real and sharing what you feel comfortable sharing. There will always be people who say “well have you tried..”, there’s no avoiding them. But I understand. I’ve had chronic head pain for over 10 years now and it escalates to migraines if I’m not careful. I’ve been watching you for years and years now and I’m so proud of you. I love how you acknowledge your privilege of being able to see and pay for all kinds of doctors. I’m lucky to have been born in Australia where everything has been free except for when I chose to see private doctors which was only $200 per appointment. I can’t imagine what people go through in the US seeking healthcare. I hope you’re feeling better now. We see you and we love you ❤️
I am actually really glad you mentioned your "one of the bad ones" migraine in this - I personally don't know anyone besides myself who gets migraines like that, so although of course I empathize with you, at the same time, it is really reassuring and comforting to hear someone else talk about what it's like and to know that at least someone out there shares my experience. Thank you for talking about it, for those of us who go through the same thing! You are helping spread information about a really misunderstood topic, which is doing so many of us such a huge service. THANK YOU.
I love that you share the downs as well as the ups in your life. It’s so appreciated. It makes me feel less alone 💕
What a beautiful thing to see you holding Rach's baby! How special of a moment was that, so cool. And OMG!! The cutest chunky cheeks ever 🥰
Also: I fully understand about the migraines & chronic pain/illness stuff. It's brutal, and by far is way more painful than my experience with childbirth was! The first migraine I ever had, I literally had the thought "so THIS is what it feels like to die" cuz I didn't know what was happening to me, and had zero control over anything that was happening.
Thoughts & support to all my fellow spoonies who are struggling today 🥄🥄 🖤
I love watching your videos, make up or vlogs, because of your realness! You show the good times and hard times which makes you so relatable❤️ and my favorite RUclipsr❤️
I've only had one or two migraines and it was excruciating. I never want to go through that again. So my heart breaks for you that have to go through this so often.
I'm glad you share and you're vulnerable with us. Your genuine supporters are here for you. Ignore the idiots the best you can.
Whenever you talk about your chronic pain I always feel guilty that I'm so relieved I don't have to deal with it. Mad props for pushing through it and relishing the good days, I would be fuckin useless.
For what it's worth I love hearing about your experiences, health included. I suffer from migraines as well and while it sucks that you're still dealing with them it helps me feel less alone! No one in my life can relate to my personal experiences with migraines ♡
Taylor, thank you for bringing visibility to migraine - I really think anything you say and choose to show is helpful. It is hard to understand if you haven’t experienced one, and it is still confusing and ever-changing even for those of us who do have them. Your videos unintentionally helped me figure out mine (I am the same age as you, and have had migraine since high school but the frequency of mine increased a lot in recent years). Your mentioning migraine in videos also help me feel less alone when I feel like no one understands the frustration and mixed emotions I feel over them. Appreciate you and all the kinds of content you post!💕 Seeing you travel and work through them is also very inspiring and motivating, as sometimes I feel like I will never be able to do many of things I want to do because of migraine.
As someone who also suffers terribly from migraines I am very impressed by your travels. I am a verified homebody and find migraines to be quite debilitating. Keep going with your quest for improved relief!
Really eye opening when you share your health, been watching before you went on accutane. Wow you've come so far in life, but my heart breaks for the fact you still are dealing with this. Your an inspiration Taylor and so strong! Thank you for being vulnerable and letting us all in on whats going on ❤
Always hopeful that you can finally be free of migraine pain....fingers crossed for your Texas doctor visits. 🤞🖤
As someone who is also struggling with chronic pain for years now I totally feel what you are saying. From doctors ignoring you to people around not understanding the amount of will and energy it takes just to do normal things. But we are strong, we don't give us and we will so everything to enjoy life. Take care Taylor and wish you all the best with what you are trying out now! 🤗
I hope you feel better soon. I have so much respect for you. You are so strong and tough. I admire how strong you are. Watching your videos helps me deal with my depression. I thought about suicide but I am taking medication and receiving help from my wonderful doctor. You are beautiful on the inside and outside. I like your personality. My depression got worst after my mother died of colon cancer at the age of 49. I didn't want to accept that I would never see my mother again. Thank you for bringing joy and happiness back to my life with your videos!🤗😘😘
I suffer from depression too. Mine is treatment resistant so I started ketamine infusion therapy a few months ago. It didn’t work so I start transcranial magnetic stimulation this Saturday. It’s 40 sessions every weekday for 9 weeks. If this doesn’t work I’m going to try shock therapy. I’m at the end of my rope and the suicidal idealizations are coming fast and furious.
@@nicegigi6299 I'm so sorry you suffer from depression. Please stay strong and know that there are people who care about you. I know I'm a stranger but I'm here for you if you need support. 🤗
I’m a subscriber that definitely, wholeheartedly is so thankful that you share your health problems with us. You’re helping to normalize this and helping so many understand. My husband and I have been wanting to move aboard a boat & travel and that feels more feasible because of you.
As someone who has chronic migraines, and had to drop out of college and move home because of those struggles, it’s nice to know I’m not alone. No one in my immediate circle knows what it’s like or has migraines/chronic pain. It’s not fun and not saying I like seeing you in pain, but nice to know I’m not alone and I can actually relate to somebody! You encourage me to keep advocating for myself and not letting it hinder my goals💗💗 always love your rawness and realness with us.
I appreciate your honesty and openness about the health stuff. I admit I won't understand but I think it's also important for people to hear the good and the bad. I enjoy every one of your vlogs. I'm thinking of you and wishing you better health days ahead 💙
I’m so sorry you’ve been feeling so bad. I don’t have the level of chronic pain that you do but I’m in pain all the time. You are so brave. I pray that you get an answer and relief from the pain. Love you Taylor.
Im dealing with a migraine as i watch this and i cant tell you how much of a relief it is to hear of someone else who truly understands the pain. I can never explain it properly but they just suck. Hope you get some good news with your upcoming doctors appointments 💕
Sometimes it is just nice to know your not alone and be reminded everyone's Instagram reel and vlogs are just the high points. When you are feeling shitty it is hard to only see that so thanks for sharing.
The migraine battle is real and horrible at times. I wish you the best with your healthcare and migraine treatment journeys. Love your videos!!
When you're in chronic pain you do get numb to it... for a while. You'll definitely have relapses where it all becomes too much and too emotional again and you just want to not be in pain!! But it sounds like you've learned by now to just kind of breathe through that and not escalate it freaking out. Wishing you the best, Taylor! I always appreciate the little snippets of how your health is doing because I have a chronic illness too, but I understand your exhaustion with the feeling of having to explain it to new viewers. Do what works for you and makes you feel authentic.
That is the cutest baby! Congrats Rach! Tay I'm praying you get more good health days. Love you
Nothing but love and support for you here! I’m chronically ill and home bound. My sister and I both deal with severe chronic pain. Going to the ER for our migraines is torture (lights and sounds, tests, meds not working…). I think it’s helpful and brave of you to share your reality!
Thank you for being vulnerable with us occasionally. It honestly helps me feel less alone with milder but similar issues. Much love. 💜
Oh, and you look beautiful btw!
I also live with migraines since I was 11 as well as other chronic pain from an autoimmune disease that leaves me disabled off and on. I empathize so much. I have so much respect for your strength and courage. It took me 22 years to even get a diagnosis. Health is the most valuable assets anyone could have!
I checked out Sonder and it looks so cool! Thanks for that tip. I hope they add more Canadian cities!
To be honest, I followed you because I too have chronic pain issues. Knowing that I'm not alone helps. I'm following your journey so don't ever feel bad about sharing whatever part of the iceberg you want to because you are helping those of us that are also in this fight! I sincerely hope you are feeling better!
It’s helpful to hear you talk about your struggles with your migraines. People who don’t get them sometimes think I’m being dramatic when I deal with my bad ones and if makes dealing with them that much harder. Thanks for sharing ❤️
