As a cancer survivor I relate to health scares. I had whipple surgery, so lost part of my pancreas, gallbladder, and some of my liver. Made it 2 years so far and in the best physical shape I have been in for the last 20 years. Glad to hear that figured it out and it was treatable!
I hope you stay healthy!!! And yep, me too! I have one incurable disease already, and a kind of shitty life because of it, and then: Cancer! Thank goodness for radiation, and science for that matter, and I got to be bombarded with radiation, which is something I worked with as a wave tech engineer for science for a while, making spectrometers and all kinds of custom stuff for very prestigious labs the world over. I knew what people think is kind of far out and way exaggerated (bad quantification due to large numbers meaning very little in the grand scheme of things), got blasted a few times knowing it is nowhere near as dangerous as people think, and so far so good! The tumor couldn't take it, but I sure could, I came in, laid down, held still for 5 minutes, and was done, and didn't feel a thing, and have to say was much better than loosing both upper lung lobes as the surgeon suggestedhe could remove right quick and I'd only have a 2 month recovery time, and many possible complications, my least favorite: Dying on the OR table! I was actually all into the treatment too 🤓and taught the radiologists, and radiation techs stuff about their equipment they didn't know.
You ever experience pressure like feeling on your right just below the liver? Pressure not pain, almost like negative heaviness pressure, stitch like, balloon inflated feeling. Even better described like an organ slowly turning into stone and feeling the transition and its weight there. Triggered by meals and sometimes random, varying in intensity. Lastly after any average heavier meal, feeling of breathless like just ran a marathon, sweating, headache and feeling of being constricted by a Boa.
I was diagnosed with cancer (and I whupped it) in 2016. I stopped drinking coffee and replaced it with pure organic cacao... lots of iron, magnesium etc. I quit sugar (fructose excepted). I was overweight at diagnosis and since then got down to ideal body weight. When I attended appointments I often got comments from nurses that my health seemed to be much improved even though the cancer was not yet eradicated. . . " you're the fittest cancer patient I've come across". . " have you been having your 5 a day?" .. yes, I had 11 for breakfast. Cancer now gone (touch wood) and I feel great. Just making this comment to say things can get better. 71 this week, feel as good as my 50s. (and I was fit as .... at 50). All the best Jay.. and everyone.
Congrats on overcoming so much serious stuff! In my experience, overcoming adversity is no coincidence-I'm sure you've sweat plenty of blood and tears and never gave up, even when it seemed hopeless. Good job and thanks for being willing to share.
As a doctor for 30 years, you are a hero for all sick people with this story. Like your great explantations about computers you gave an easy to follow and accurate description of your illness. I am so glad you are felling better.

What a lad, teaching people how to up their PC benchmark score and human benchmark score at the same time. All jokes aside, keep up the good work, glad to see you doing better!
As a 1-year post bypass patient on my own journey (400lbs to 255lbs so far), this is really informative about the long term complications and dangers. Wishing you all the best Jay.
Our bodies are weird. Wish yours would just settle down (hopefully it will for a good long while!) Hope you can get things up quickly with the new space!
Ive been dealing with health issues for over a year now and so much of this hits. Gallbladder and digestive issues takingvtheir toll. Doing your best and pushing everyday just for things to stay the same or worsen tends to cut you deep.
So happy to hear you are doing better! *hugs* I really suggest you watch Adam Savage's Tested shop videos on best practices as far as setting up a new shop. I know you are in different fields but his years and years of experience are invaluable for people setting up new shop areas.
I'm very happy to hear you are getting better, I had a similar situation at the beginning of last year. I ended up spending 9 weeks in intensive care with liver failure after ignoring little signs for a long time, I am now back at work and feeling better than I have in years. A good message to all is to not ignore the little things, sometimes there is an underlying issue that can end up very serious but could have been treated easily to begin with. Can't wait to see the new studio build series.
Hey Jay and everyone else, I am excited about the new changes to the channel and hope you succeed in your endeavors. Personally, I had similar symptoms: I had zero energy and could fall asleep on the job, in a meeting, etc. It turned out to be sleep deprivation from sleep apnea. I suffer from severe sleep apnea, and as a result, it kept me awake all night. I was woken up from sleep 90 times a minute, which resulted in no deep sleep. That also resulted in problems oxygenating my blood, and I was seriously close to heart failure. I now received a CPAP machine to sleep with, and I can stay awake all day. My blood tests are better-not perfect yet, but better-and I could see results after a few nights of sleep. If anyone suspects that they suffer from sleep apnea, I suggest talking with your doctor. It can have serious consequences on your life if left untreated.
Awesome news. Thank you for all the hard work keeping the channel up as you also deal with all the things that we must do to keep our health in check. That cannot be easy.
Can you explain his backstory? I tried Google and just didn't get it. How did he become so well known over getting scammed? Why does he have so many subs but has almost no videos.@@stonkyboy7606
At this current moment, my family is falling apart, im in my 30's watching my parents split, possible drug co-dependency etc, this is the first positive thing I've had recently, your content is helping me dissociate, glad to hear you're much healthier buddy, watching from West Australia here.
Hey! I'm glad you found a safe place to be, so sorry for the overwhelming things you're dealing with. Someone much wiser than me once said "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans". Hang in there! Sometimes things get better. It's too easy for good people to feel responsible for the bad decisions people close to us make, but it's healthy to put your own welfare as a priority and make sure you are okay. Take care of yourself!
Just stay here with us mate. People go but other people step into your life everyday; good things turn to shit but when you drive through it there's at least 80% of the tire still clean and the next rain will wash it back to 100. Keep ya head up!
To be as honest as I can be, I have to say that I have always watched your videos for your knowledge, great personality, and general entertainment. I have never noticed your weight and was shocked to hear you say that you had an issue with it. I'm glad you are feeling better, and congratulations on your positive progress! Keep up the great work and please don't retire! We will miss you!
I've noticed it over the years. 2014 vs 2024 Jay shows.. but I was surprised that he mentions getting comments. I guess because I read the first 5 comments I've never noticed it.
I also never really noticed it until my hubby told me he used to be much larger. Now I notice a bit on occasion, but it's definitely not my focus. I'm glad he's on a good path health wise, on top of him being my favorite tech channel, he's got a wife and kids who need him.
In 2022 I had a bad back and went to doctors and found out I have bone marrow cancer so now I have problems with low energy, bone pain and slow weight gain and the pains are really hard to explain along with the struggle with treatments, iron and everything as my body cant make blood properly so I am always anaemic now. Glad to hear its not cancer as I know how bad a blood cancer can be and happy to hear you are getting better.
Another great video. Sharing your health journey can help countless others you may never hear about. Looking forward to seeing the expansion videos and team growth. All the best!
I am a fulltime caregiver for my mother who suffers from progressive multiple sclerosis, been by her side for 14 years and will continue to be till the end. So I know all to well the hardships of poor health and I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery/progress. 🙏
Very similar here. Im 41 and moved back home to take care of my 70 year old mother with MS. I didn't even give it a second thought. Family is the most important thing in life and Im not upset, Im grateful that Im able to help out a mom who spent her entire life taking care of me!
So happy for you Jay. I have been going through similar with my recent Diabetes diagnosis. I went from 200 lbs to 150lbs and am now back to normal with no more diabetic symptoms, and back to 170s again. You are doing the work and putting in the time, and you deserve all the credit for getting this on track.
Hey. My wife has T1D and she's had extremely beneficial results by switching to a mostly vegetarian diet. She eats chicken and fish very occasionally. Her blood markers, cholesterol and kidney function related numbers all improved so much more than with medication it's crazy. From what you mention I assume you're Type 2, and it does seem to help tremendously with T2D as well. Just wanted to give a shout out since you've been recently diagnosed and she's just found this out after more than a decade of trying things out. Best of luck!
@@diegoleiva7242 Your wife probably has type 2 diabetes, not type 1. Typically, people are born with type 1, but it can show up in adults since it's an autoimmune issue.
@@Slaggo Oh, I know you mean well but trust me, she's T1D. She's insulin dependant and her condition started out when she was a skinny, active 13 y/o. Folks with T2D do not require insulin injections and they usually get it later in life due to sedentarism and poor diets, from what I understand. I'm not too well informed about T2D but I sure do know my T1D upside down.
I am T2D and I require insulin. Saying T1D is the type of diabetes that requires insulin is incorrect. Also saying that T2D is caused by lack of activity is incorrect. I was extremely active when I was diagnosed. I was then a competitive power lifter, not sedentary.
Great to hear all is going well now! Excited to see what the future holds, even though I do not watch most of your videos anymore I will check back every so often!
I think i like to hear what others have discovered about their health, it gives more answers to consider. Wisdom of thr Crowd and all that. Glad to hear you’revdoing better
As someone who has epilepsy, being an advocate for your health is paramount. Some of the meds they can put a patient on are "broad spectrum" (ie Phenobarbital, a barbituate), and I've I told my neuro to find a better solution, which he did in the form of Keppra and Lamictal (safer, but still comes with its own set of potential problems). I get this my dude! Please continue to advocate for yourself, and stay healthy!
Just to note, ferritin of 30-70 can still be iron deficiency. You want it to be minimum of 125, and keep it there for at least 6 months. So 131 is great. It’s a matter of keeping it there now. When it comes to iron, it takes the body around 3-6 months to get fully used to new ferritin levels.
Are you familiar with the iron protocol? Curious if he in part had some hypophosphatemia after the iron infusion. Injectefer is the top iv Iron that people experience this after.
Hey Jay! Love your channel. My favorite on RUclips! I'm happy for you and your health update! Quick note. I went from 596 down to 385. I built 3 computers and am now water cooling my first. All knowledge and inspiration I have came from you! Keep up the great work yall are doing!
Very good health news and continued success in what you obviously love to do. I'm late 60s, getting weight, aches, and pains down. You're an encouragement. Thank you.
If you gents are getting into CNC stuff, I would 1000% buy JayzTwoCents watercooling products. This channel is the reason I made the move to watercooling - wouldn't have done it without you guys being around, so here's to many more years to come 🍻
I'm very glad your health is good and I'm happy that company is growing. I'm glad i get to be apart it. I'm excited about the next chapter in JayzTwoCents!!!
Had several iron infusions about 14 years ago, experience everything you did, but wow, it felt good, went from really fatigued to suddenly feeling like superman. Huge improvements before initially getting my condition controlled. Good to hear you are feeling better.
Great to hear the good health news. The change to your energy and enthusiasm has been apparent and great to see. Good luck with the expansion and please keep the positivity. The glass is half full and there is a silver lining.
Thank you for your service! I take care of my 96 year old WW2 Veteran father in law, lots of experience with the VA. Best wishes and hopes for your welfare
Thanks for posting this Jay! This makes me so appreciative that my body is functioning normally! I appreciate your tenacity and strength to get through all this!
Wow Jay, a whole new level of respect. You've been thru hell and you came back and told us about it. Very articulate, you are a master of explaining the things you went thru. Your metaphors were spot on. I understood everything and tied it all together. Well done. Respect dude. Hang in there... Be well...
Gastric bypass has far too many downsides medically to be worth it for anyone. My father ended up with complications at about 12 years after gastric bypass and a duodenal switch later on. The complications and absorption difficulties of medications meant that treating him was shooting in the dark medically speaking. He ended up passing after 3 years of battling with complications. Anyone that is thinking of gastric bypass please reconsider. Even Mayo clinic in Rochester, MN has banned them due to unforeseen complications. Good luck Jay hopefully your story is better than my fathers.
it really depends on which one you do and making sure you do the research before hand. but gastric bypass is not something you use as a cheat code for losing weight, it's a last resort after multiple years of proper diet and exercise is showing no health benefits but it's still not a guaranteed thing either. one mistake i see a lot of people make after the surgery is thinking they can continue to eat the same junk they were eating before and not taking the proper supplements to compensate for the reduced nutrient absorption. just because what you buy says it's a supplement doesn't actually mean what's on the label is actually in it since supplements are not regulated in the US. you need to heavily research that crap. end of the day you need to weight the risks vs the benefits, if your weight is causing medical issues that are far harder to control, e.g. family/personal history of heart problems, high blood pressure, diabetes, back issues, etc. are the potential risks from the surger later on down the road worth it over having at any moment a heart attack, stroke, crippling arthritis, etc. don't just have the surgery because you're X weight and you want to be Y weight without any of the work and see multiple specialists before you decide to do it.
Became ill myself in the past 8 months or so, in my case i didn't know i was a diabetic until i ended up in the ICU with less than 36 hours to live. It will be 6 months on July 6th that i was admitted and diagnosed with a sugar level of 936. Diabetes has the same symptoms you went through, found out through blood testing. Lost 50 pounds in 45 days, 30 pounds of it in the last 14 days before i went to the hospital, now i have to live with the complications that the Acidosis di to my body! S tay healthy Brother.
Good to see your health improving. Unfortunate to hear about our fav youtubers face health issues, especially with hearing Jonathan Morrison’s recent health update. Hope Jon gets the help he needs as well. 🙏🏽 ❤
Love you so much for delving into this publicly. Thank you, this is why I'm a subscriber. I also suffer from depression and was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Going on a similar journey.
As somebody who has Thalassemia, and several Primary Immune Deficiency conditions, one of which requires me to have weekly immunoglobulin infusions I know what you went through, both physically and mentally. Glad to hear that you are on the up and hopefully you will never reach those lows again.
I’m very glad your health is going great! That being said please DO NOT retire or quit! There is only 1 Jayztwocents who does jayztwocents things. Please stay ❤
While I understand you trying to be encouraging. I'd rather he look after himself and not kill himself for RUclips. While it'll suck and be sad when he retires from this platform it's important to allow creators to quit when they feel it's the right choice for their wellbeing. Creative burn out is rough and it's hard to keep up the online persona and be the passionate PC guy when you have no love for the job. Viewers can and will notice if a creator doesn't have their heart in it anymore. Which lowers the entertainment value.
Good news! It's great to see your health is getting better and all is in check. And... a new workspace! I'm curious of what you'll do with it. It was nice to see when you were building this current one. It was nice when you were building the previous 2 floor one too. So looking forward to the next one.
This random Swede is cheering for you guys! \m/ Also, I dont even know how many years Ive been watching your channel but it has been a hot minute :P Keep on trucking :D
Love you Jay! Glad you're on the mend! Not the same thing but I just tracked down the setting that was preventing my system staying asleep, it was driving my CRAZY! Silly example I know, but what I'm saying is it's such a relief to discover the cause of a problem, and I'm really glad you found yours. Looking forward to seeing what you and the team get up to next!
So happy for you and keep on chugging along. I also have a host of health problems that I refuse to let stop me. Keep poking, keep testing, and do not feel afraid to seek other doctors.
I've watched this channel for around 10 years. Heck you even helped me through a divorce so its great to see your health is headed back in the right direction and it's great your growing. Looking forward to the rtfm show making a return. Sending good vibes from across the pond in London ❤.
Jay, I am so happy you found the root cause of your aliments and glad you're finally on the right track. I cannot stress enough how important it is for people to advocate for their own health and wellbeing. No one knows your body better than you, and it is shocking how often these blood panels aren't being done by doctors. It took me 10 years to find a doctor who listened and suggested we do a full blood panel and discovered I have an immune issue causing a thyroid issue causing all my aliments. People wake up and fight for your own health. Especially if you're in America.
Glad you are feeling better. My mother had a stomach bypass many years ago. After abut 10 or 15 years she started feeling poorly. It turns out she wasn't absorbing nutrients properly because food was going through her intestines too quickly. They fixed the problem but the damage was done and she is still feeling the effects 20 years later.
Emma, I sincerely hope that you are treated well by pain physicians. Far too many people with chronic pain are treated horribly. Hope you can find some relief!
You're not sympathy seeking Jay. You built a platform that people are vested in and so when people hear your health is becoming an issue, of course we're all going to hope for the best and be curious because, we're all vested in this channel and the ones working on this channel. You have over 4million people who all care for and about all of you. It's great to see the improvements made in your health, tomorrow it will get even better.
On the machining front. I'd recommend if you don't want to invest too deep just get a basic vertical mill, basic lathe, and a drill dress. If you want to go CNC look into Tormach. They are up on right to repair and they offer different tiers for machining centers. Here is the rub. CNCs are great, I run them all of the time. However, I was brought up in an old school die shop. Get yourself the manual machines and learn on those. You'll benefit from needing to feel out the machining. If anyone tells you that you cannot be as accurate on a manual machine as you can with a cnc, then they're having you on and trying to get you to spend more money than you need to. Additionally, if you aren't running production runs a CNC and a manual machine are nigh equivalent on set up and run time for single part/prototyping. Hope this helps.
I second this, a manual lathe definitely would be enough, on the milling side it depends on the kind of parts and the batch size, but for prototyping and single parts a manual would suffice 100%.
another cnc machinist here. was also going to recommend tormach. I've never ran one but everything I've seen over the years they seem great for this kind of situation. plenty of great desktop cnc mills out there. I am mainly a cnc lathe guy, run em everyday. I too second the manual option mainly for a lathe. I feel with 3d printing and all the hobby cnc milling going on now its going to be more user friendly on the programming side of things. plus you have a large community. for lathe work tho for making computer parts like you need. a cnc its going to cost more and take up space that will just be unnecessary for the parts youll be making. youll learn a lifelong skill and imo running a manual lathe is a awesome feeling haha. kinda ranted there, anyone add corrections or what you agree with. awesome news though jay exited for you and cant wait to see whats next!
I have Hemochromatosis (the opposite of your issue), and my count hasn't dropped much below 1000 and as high as 2800, and that's over nearing two decades. Blood tests every Monday or Tuesday to get a 500ml taken every Thursday or Friday... for over 10 years. High iron makes organs fail if not addressed, I could (can) sleep 12 hours and go back to sleep without issue. It's amazing how the body needs so many things just right to function. But we need to do so little to let the body do what it needs to. (If you're lucky enough to have a fully functional body.) Eat well, sleep well, get some exercise, keep your mind active, and your systems take care of the rest. Take care of yourselves, everyone. ❤
Real happy for you Jay and J2C team. You guys have been my weekly go-to for a really long time, and you should know that the world is a far better place with all of you in it - doing exactly what you've been doing. Friggin strength, power, and mega-Kudos to you all. But - expand the merch already! I've run out of stuff to buy!
Mike Kelly here, just want to convey that I'm glad you're getting better(healthy) and as a long time subscriber(I believe you had approx. 1M subs at the time) wishing you the best and look forward to the move into the new facility and the videos you, Nick and Phil will create for us. Take care.
I’m so happy to hear your health is much better Jay, it must be such a relief for you and your family! Also I am incredibly excited for the future of the channel. I love what you guys do and your plans sound awesome. Really looking forward to seeing all the new setup videos!
I can feel your pain, because I have a nerve disease that affects everything, including CFS, I am constantly tired. But the difference with me is that they can only give medication and live from day to day. Because tomorrow I could have a severe attack of pain, and at those times morphine is my best friend. And my wife and I run two businesses, a large studio and a PC shop. Not easy with that kind of disease. I'm glad they can help you. Stay strong.
Dealing with CFS myself I can't even comprehend how you're coping with that on top of everything else. Sounds like you've got fantastic support though. I know my family and community are what keep me going in the toughest times. Stay strong yourself mate 🤎
I've had CT scans, an MRI, a full blood panel, a colonoscopy, an endoscopy, a bone marrow biopsy, urinalysis, multiple mass removals. No doctor can figure out what is wrong with me. All they are sure of is that there is something. Sometimes you don't get to know.
Went through this till I ended up running into a doctor that was there to figure it out for me. Ended up finding out I have Crohn's Disease with many other acute chronic IBS Diseases as well. What is great is that all the treatments for Crohn's works for a lot of IBS Diseases. The guy is still fighting for me to get the treatment program I actually need to be passed by my insurance. It might take a while but when you find a knowledge doctor that is there for your own good, you will be goodd
Thanks for the bravery on opening up fully on what you went through.. it really helps those that are depressed or isolated and encourages them to be brave and get healthy.
Dude, awesome news all around. Happy for your health and excited for your new space!

Better yet a collaboration video/ set up with both personalities. I do believe they’re both somewhat local to each other also.
i was just watching Adam’s videos before coming to this one 😂 crazy
Running a full blood panel is a great start if you feel you have problems. Talk to your doctors. Glad you're doing better Jay.
seriously, don't be afraid to tell your doctor what you need or ask for a new one if they don't listen
There is something to be said for over testing though.

Personally, I had similar symptoms: I had zero energy and could fall asleep on the job, in a meeting, etc. It turned out to be sleep deprivation from sleep apnea. I suffer from severe sleep apnea, and as a result, it kept me awake all night. I was woken up from sleep 90 times a minute, which resulted in no deep sleep. That also resulted in problems oxygenating my blood, and I was seriously close to heart failure.
I now received a CPAP machine to sleep with, and I can stay awake all day. My blood tests are better-not perfect yet, but better-and I could see results after a few nights of sleep.
If anyone suspects that they suffer from sleep apnea, I suggest talking with your doctor. It can have serious consequences on your life if left untreated.
Awesome news. Thank you for all the hard work keeping the channel up as you also deal with all the things that we must do to keep our health in check. That cannot be easy.
Hope you are ok ❤
OMG ITS MICHAELSUPERBACKER
Can you explain his backstory? I tried Google and just didn't get it. How did he become so well known over getting scammed? Why does he have so many subs but has almost no videos.@@stonkyboy7606
Moving? Must watch
I loved the moving video's they had when they went into the there new space
Great news Jay, Thanks for update. Keep on Keeeping on!
At this current moment, my family is falling apart, im in my 30's watching my parents split, possible drug co-dependency etc, this is the first positive thing I've had recently, your content is helping me dissociate, glad to hear you're much healthier buddy, watching from West Australia here.
Hey! I'm glad you found a safe place to be, so sorry for the overwhelming things you're dealing with. Someone much wiser than me once said "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans". Hang in there! Sometimes things get better. It's too easy for good people to feel responsible for the bad decisions people close to us make, but it's healthy to put your own welfare as a priority and make sure you are okay. Take care of yourself!
Just stay here with us mate.
People go but other people step into your life everyday; good things turn to shit but when you drive through it there's at least 80% of the tire still clean and the next rain will wash it back to 100. Keep ya head up!
To be as honest as I can be, I have to say that I have always watched your videos for your knowledge, great personality, and general entertainment. I have never noticed your weight and was shocked to hear you say that you had an issue with it. I'm glad you are feeling better, and congratulations on your positive progress! Keep up the great work and please don't retire! We will miss you!
I've noticed it over the years. 2014 vs 2024 Jay shows.. but I was surprised that he mentions getting comments. I guess because I read the first 5 comments I've never noticed it.
I also never really noticed it until my hubby told me he used to be much larger. Now I notice a bit on occasion, but it's definitely not my focus. I'm glad he's on a good path health wise, on top of him being my favorite tech channel, he's got a wife and kids who need him.
In 2022 I had a bad back and went to doctors and found out I have bone marrow cancer so now I have problems with low energy, bone pain and slow weight gain and the pains are really hard to explain along with the struggle with treatments, iron and everything as my body cant make blood properly so I am always anaemic now. Glad to hear its not cancer as I know how bad a blood cancer can be and happy to hear you are getting better.
Prayers & good vibes being sent your way 🙏🏼
Bless you brother, may God cure your illness and prayers here. Celery juice on an empty stomach works wonders.
Get well soon! You're on it!
❤❤❤❤❤
Another great video. Sharing your health journey can help countless others you may never hear about. Looking forward to seeing the expansion videos and team growth. All the best!
Great to hear that! Looking forward to moving and tons of vlogs a build logs :) Happy you feel good again. Thanks for update
I am a fulltime caregiver for my mother who suffers from progressive multiple sclerosis, been by her side for 14 years and will continue to be till the end. So I know all to well the hardships of poor health and I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery/progress. 🙏
Very similar here. Im 41 and moved back home to take care of my 70 year old mother with MS. I didn't even give it a second thought. Family is the most important thing in life and Im not upset, Im grateful that Im able to help out a mom who spent her entire life taking care of me!
@@ChairmanMeow1 You're a beautiful soul.
You guys are doing gods work.
So happy for you Jay. I have been going through similar with my recent Diabetes diagnosis. I went from 200 lbs to 150lbs and am now back to normal with no more diabetic symptoms, and back to 170s again.
You are doing the work and putting in the time, and you deserve all the credit for getting this on track.
Hey. My wife has T1D and she's had extremely beneficial results by switching to a mostly vegetarian diet. She eats chicken and fish very occasionally. Her blood markers, cholesterol and kidney function related numbers all improved so much more than with medication it's crazy. From what you mention I assume you're Type 2, and it does seem to help tremendously with T2D as well. Just wanted to give a shout out since you've been recently diagnosed and she's just found this out after more than a decade of trying things out. Best of luck!
@@diegoleiva7242 Your wife probably has type 2 diabetes, not type 1. Typically, people are born with type 1, but it can show up in adults since it's an autoimmune issue.
@@Slaggo Oh, I know you mean well but trust me, she's T1D. She's insulin dependant and her condition started out when she was a skinny, active 13 y/o. Folks with T2D do not require insulin injections and they usually get it later in life due to sedentarism and poor diets, from what I understand. I'm not too well informed about T2D but I sure do know my T1D upside down.
I am T2D and I require insulin. Saying T1D is the type of diabetes that requires insulin is incorrect.
Also saying that T2D is caused by lack of activity is incorrect. I was extremely active when I was diagnosed. I was then a competitive power lifter, not sedentary.
@@peteragnew2224 well, that goes to show I know way less than I think I do.
Great to hear all is going well now! Excited to see what the future holds, even though I do not watch most of your videos anymore I will check back every so often!
I think i like to hear what others have discovered about their health, it gives more answers to consider. Wisdom of thr Crowd and all that. Glad to hear you’revdoing better
ASUS blood - that's awesome, I can't stop laughing !!
I suffer from anemia. It runs in my family. So I understand how you felt. Good luck on your health and your business ventures.
Great update, good to hear you're figuring things out! Also, love to see you swing by the MPLS Microcenter!
As someone who has epilepsy, being an advocate for your health is paramount. Some of the meds they can put a patient on are "broad spectrum" (ie Phenobarbital, a barbituate), and I've I told my neuro to find a better solution, which he did in the form of Keppra and Lamictal (safer, but still comes with its own set of potential problems). I get this my dude! Please continue to advocate for yourself, and stay healthy!
Just to note, ferritin of 30-70 can still be iron deficiency. You want it to be minimum of 125, and keep it there for at least 6 months. So 131 is great. It’s a matter of keeping it there now. When it comes to iron, it takes the body around 3-6 months to get fully used to new ferritin levels.
Are you familiar with the iron protocol? Curious if he in part had some hypophosphatemia after the iron infusion. Injectefer is the top iv Iron that people experience this after.
Hey Jay! Love your channel. My favorite on RUclips! I'm happy for you and your health update! Quick note. I went from 596 down to 385. I built 3 computers and am now water cooling my first. All knowledge and inspiration I have came from you! Keep up the great work yall are doing!
Awesome news Jay! Praying for continuing recovery for you....
Great news, glad you and your doctors were able to sort it all out. Good luck on the up coming move, can't wait to see the videos.
Very good health news and continued success in what you obviously love to do. I'm late 60s, getting weight, aches, and pains down. You're an encouragement. Thank you.
If you gents are getting into CNC stuff, I would 1000% buy JayzTwoCents watercooling products.
This channel is the reason I made the move to watercooling - wouldn't have done it without you guys being around, so here's to many more years to come 🍻
This is all great news. Happy you have things figured out health wise, and excited by your excitement in the space.
I'm very glad your health is good and I'm happy that company is growing. I'm glad i get to be apart it. I'm excited about the next chapter in JayzTwoCents!!!
Had several iron infusions about 14 years ago, experience everything you did, but wow, it felt good, went from really fatigued to suddenly feeling like superman. Huge improvements before initially getting my condition controlled. Good to hear you are feeling better.
Great to hear the good health news. The change to your energy and enthusiasm has been apparent and great to see. Good luck with the expansion and please keep the positivity. The glass is half full and there is a silver lining.
Fantastic news! i am jazzed that you are jazzed to grow this even more!
Super happy on the news, looking forward to seeing your new setup just booked my check up after watching this.
Thanks for the NC insights and thanks for all you’re doing from a disabled vet keep moving forward and doing what you do.
Thank you for your service! I take care of my 96 year old WW2 Veteran father in law, lots of experience with the VA. Best wishes and hopes for your welfare
Glad you're open to sharing your story and that youre getting better!
Thanks for posting this Jay! This makes me so appreciative that my body is functioning normally! I appreciate your tenacity and strength to get through all this!
This is my favorite channel, you were the person who helped me with my first build, im glad to hear this great news
Wow Jay, a whole new level of respect. You've been thru hell and you came back and told us about it. Very articulate, you are a master of explaining the things you went thru. Your metaphors were spot on. I understood everything and tied it all together. Well done. Respect dude. Hang in there... Be well...
Gastric bypass has far too many downsides medically to be worth it for anyone. My father ended up with complications at about 12 years after gastric bypass and a duodenal switch later on. The complications and absorption difficulties of medications meant that treating him was shooting in the dark medically speaking. He ended up passing after 3 years of battling with complications. Anyone that is thinking of gastric bypass please reconsider. Even Mayo clinic in Rochester, MN has banned them due to unforeseen complications. Good luck Jay hopefully your story is better than my fathers.
it really depends on which one you do and making sure you do the research before hand. but gastric bypass is not something you use as a cheat code for losing weight, it's a last resort after multiple years of proper diet and exercise is showing no health benefits but it's still not a guaranteed thing either. one mistake i see a lot of people make after the surgery is thinking they can continue to eat the same junk they were eating before and not taking the proper supplements to compensate for the reduced nutrient absorption. just because what you buy says it's a supplement doesn't actually mean what's on the label is actually in it since supplements are not regulated in the US. you need to heavily research that crap.
end of the day you need to weight the risks vs the benefits, if your weight is causing medical issues that are far harder to control, e.g. family/personal history of heart problems, high blood pressure, diabetes, back issues, etc. are the potential risks from the surger later on down the road worth it over having at any moment a heart attack, stroke, crippling arthritis, etc. don't just have the surgery because you're X weight and you want to be Y weight without any of the work and see multiple specialists before you decide to do it.
Mayo Clinic definitely hasn’t banned gastric bypass! :)
This is fantastic to hear. have fun in the new space for new adventures
This is great information for all of us, thank you for being willing to share this publicly! ❤
You’re the man, Jay. Glad to hear everything is trending positively, and I love the detailed approach to your health.
Thanks for all the updates, Jay! Long live the RTFM show!
Awesome man. Glad to see you getting better day by day. Brazil fans will keep sending good energy vibes to you.
So glad to hear that your health is going in the right direction. Also brilliant news that you are moving & growing the business as well.
Became ill myself in the past 8 months or so, in my case i didn't know i was a diabetic until i ended up in the ICU with less than 36 hours to live. It will be 6 months on July 6th that i was admitted and diagnosed with a sugar level of 936. Diabetes has the same symptoms you went through, found out through blood testing. Lost 50 pounds in 45 days, 30 pounds of it in the last 14 days before i went to the hospital, now i have to live with the complications that the Acidosis di to my body! S tay healthy Brother.
Been diabetic since 1999 when I was 32. Ensure you get enough exercise with whatever treatment you're taking. It helps A LOT.
Good to see your health improving. Unfortunate to hear about our fav youtubers face health issues, especially with hearing Jonathan Morrison’s recent health update. Hope Jon gets the help he needs as well. 🙏🏽 ❤
Great news - I have always enjoyed your channel - looking forward for what’s to come! And hope you continue to improve health-wise!
Love you so much for delving into this publicly. Thank you, this is why I'm a subscriber. I also suffer from depression and was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Going on a similar journey.
Has to be a massive relief to not only have an answer, but a better understanding of your body specifically.
Glad to hear things are on the mends Jay! Looking forward to the new and improved!!!
Glad that you’re feeling better, love how you explain and demonstrate how things and stuff work so thank you and keep feeling better.
That is awesome news!! Glad you are feeling really good! Can't wait to see your new space :)
As somebody who has Thalassemia, and several Primary Immune Deficiency conditions, one of which requires me to have weekly immunoglobulin infusions I know what you went through, both physically and mentally.
Glad to hear that you are on the up and hopefully you will never reach those lows again.
I’m very glad your health is going great!
That being said please DO NOT retire or quit! There is only 1 Jayztwocents who does jayztwocents things.
Please stay ❤
Nah if he's sick I'd rather him be healthy than die for RUclips, let RUclipsrs quit
While I understand you trying to be encouraging. I'd rather he look after himself and not kill himself for RUclips. While it'll suck and be sad when he retires from this platform it's important to allow creators to quit when they feel it's the right choice for their wellbeing. Creative burn out is rough and it's hard to keep up the online persona and be the passionate PC guy when you have no love for the job. Viewers can and will notice if a creator doesn't have their heart in it anymore. Which lowers the entertainment value.
OMG, Thank you for the update on your health and am glad you have an answer and solution!!!!!
Good news! It's great to see your health is getting better and all is in check. And... a new workspace! I'm curious of what you'll do with it. It was nice to see when you were building this current one. It was nice when you were building the previous 2 floor one too. So looking forward to the next one.
This random Swede is cheering for you guys! \m/ Also, I dont even know how many years Ive been watching your channel but it has been a hot minute :P Keep on trucking :D
Love you Jay! Glad you're on the mend! Not the same thing but I just tracked down the setting that was preventing my system staying asleep, it was driving my CRAZY! Silly example I know, but what I'm saying is it's such a relief to discover the cause of a problem, and I'm really glad you found yours. Looking forward to seeing what you and the team get up to next!
So happy for you and keep on chugging along. I also have a host of health problems that I refuse to let stop me. Keep poking, keep testing, and do not feel afraid to seek other doctors.
Thank you for the update! I'm glad you're feeling better.
I've watched this channel for around 10 years. Heck you even helped me through a divorce so its great to see your health is headed back in the right direction and it's great your growing. Looking forward to the rtfm show making a return. Sending good vibes from across the pond in London ❤.
Jay, I am so happy you found the root cause of your aliments and glad you're finally on the right track.
I cannot stress enough how important it is for people to advocate for their own health and wellbeing. No one knows your body better than you, and it is shocking how often these blood panels aren't being done by doctors. It took me 10 years to find a doctor who listened and suggested we do a full blood panel and discovered I have an immune issue causing a thyroid issue causing all my aliments.
People wake up and fight for your own health. Especially if you're in America.
Really glad things are looking up with regards to your health Jay. Very excited to see the new space as well.
Congratulations Jay. I hope things continue to trend up for you, your family and the team.
Glad you are feeling better. My mother had a stomach bypass many years ago. After abut 10 or 15 years she started feeling poorly. It turns out she wasn't absorbing nutrients properly because food was going through her intestines too quickly. They fixed the problem but the damage was done and she is still feeling the effects 20 years later.
As someone who suffers from severe chronic pain and lives a living hell, I hope you are okay ❤
Emma, I sincerely hope that you are treated well by pain physicians. Far too many people with chronic pain are treated horribly. Hope you can find some relief!
Praying for you Jay!
Keep up your hard work, youre an inspiration!
Awesome news, thank you for sharing. I can't wait for the move videos. I enjoyed them so much.
You're not sympathy seeking Jay. You built a platform that people are vested in and so when people hear your health is becoming an issue, of course we're all going to hope for the best and be curious because, we're all vested in this channel and the ones working on this channel. You have over 4million people who all care for and about all of you. It's great to see the improvements made in your health, tomorrow it will get even better.
Get healthy and will keep you in our prayers!
Put on the armor of God!
Good to hear all of it, Jay. Good luck on the health and the expansion!
Great news all around. Happy to hear all this guys.
On the machining front. I'd recommend if you don't want to invest too deep just get a basic vertical mill, basic lathe, and a drill dress. If you want to go CNC look into Tormach. They are up on right to repair and they offer different tiers for machining centers.
Here is the rub. CNCs are great, I run them all of the time. However, I was brought up in an old school die shop. Get yourself the manual machines and learn on those. You'll benefit from needing to feel out the machining. If anyone tells you that you cannot be as accurate on a manual machine as you can with a cnc, then they're having you on and trying to get you to spend more money than you need to. Additionally, if you aren't running production runs a CNC and a manual machine are nigh equivalent on set up and run time for single part/prototyping.
Hope this helps.
Yeah manual would be the way to go if you don't want like 100 or more of what ever you make.
I second this, a manual lathe definitely would be enough, on the milling side it depends on the kind of parts and the batch size, but for prototyping and single parts a manual would suffice 100%.
another cnc machinist here. was also going to recommend tormach. I've never ran one but everything I've seen over the years they seem great for this kind of situation. plenty of great desktop cnc mills out there. I am mainly a cnc lathe guy, run em everyday. I too second the manual option mainly for a lathe. I feel with 3d printing and all the hobby cnc milling going on now its going to be more user friendly on the programming side of things. plus you have a large community. for lathe work tho for making computer parts like you need. a cnc its going to cost more and take up space that will just be unnecessary for the parts youll be making. youll learn a lifelong skill and imo running a manual lathe is a awesome feeling haha. kinda ranted there, anyone add corrections or what you agree with.
awesome news though jay exited for you and cant wait to see whats next!
I have Hemochromatosis (the opposite of your issue), and my count hasn't dropped much below 1000 and as high as 2800, and that's over nearing two decades.
Blood tests every Monday or Tuesday to get a 500ml taken every Thursday or Friday... for over 10 years.
High iron makes organs fail if not addressed, I could (can) sleep 12 hours and go back to sleep without issue.
It's amazing how the body needs so many things just right to function. But we need to do so little to let the body do what it needs to. (If you're lucky enough to have a fully functional body.) Eat well, sleep well, get some exercise, keep your mind active, and your systems take care of the rest.
Take care of yourselves, everyone. ❤
give blood that will lower iron levels,,,,I had hemochromatosis, worked for me
I have hemochromotosis also. I dontate blood every 2 months to keep my levels lower
good to hear on your health bud...
awesome news on moving... on and up
Real happy for you Jay and J2C team. You guys have been my weekly go-to for a really long time, and you should know that the world is a far better place with all of you in it - doing exactly what you've been doing. Friggin strength, power, and mega-Kudos to you all. But - expand the merch already! I've run out of stuff to buy!
Mike Kelly here, just want to convey that I'm glad you're getting better(healthy) and as a long time subscriber(I believe you had approx. 1M subs at the time) wishing you the best and look forward to the move into the new facility and the videos you, Nick and Phil will create for us. Take care.
Hello 👋
I'm so glad to hear about your health is improving and your feeling better. I'm excited to see where this next chapter takes you!
I’m so happy to hear your health is much better Jay, it must be such a relief for you and your family!
Also I am incredibly excited for the future of the channel. I love what you guys do and your plans sound awesome. Really looking forward to seeing all the new setup videos!
I can feel your pain, because I have a nerve disease that affects everything, including CFS, I am constantly tired. But the difference with me is that they can only give medication and live from day to day. Because tomorrow I could have a severe attack of pain, and at those times morphine is my best friend. And my wife and I run two businesses, a large studio and a PC shop. Not easy with that kind of disease. I'm glad they can help you. Stay strong.
Dealing with CFS myself I can't even comprehend how you're coping with that on top of everything else. Sounds like you've got fantastic support though. I know my family and community are what keep me going in the toughest times.
Stay strong yourself mate 🤎
I've had CT scans, an MRI, a full blood panel, a colonoscopy, an endoscopy, a bone marrow biopsy, urinalysis, multiple mass removals.
No doctor can figure out what is wrong with me. All they are sure of is that there is something. Sometimes you don't get to know.
In my experience, it can help to try and go to a doctor from a prestigious hospital somewhere else in the country.
Its might be something knew and it could end up being named after you.
Went through this till I ended up running into a doctor that was there to figure it out for me. Ended up finding out I have Crohn's Disease with many other acute chronic IBS Diseases as well. What is great is that all the treatments for Crohn's works for a lot of IBS Diseases. The guy is still fighting for me to get the treatment program I actually need to be passed by my insurance.
It might take a while but when you find a knowledge doctor that is there for your own good, you will be goodd
That is great news. Also, your medical stuff explanation was pretty good, very clear and concise. All the best 👍🏼
Thanks for the bravery on opening up fully on what you went through.. it really helps those that are depressed or isolated and encourages them to be brave and get healthy.
