@@abdhulhackul2620 yea but just imagine looking for all the clips he needs for this part, it must be a pain in the ass, i mean, i have edited shit before, and its not easy to find good clip videos
Julia: I could sense people from a different space. Frank: It was darkness. Eben: I ascended to Nirvana, established contact with higher beings, discovered the divine, reached Akasha, and found a utopia.
Eben seems very manic to me. Talking a mile a minute without taking a breath. Like he's on speed. I'm glad it was a positive experience, but he seems like he has brain damage.
@@sonnemaral5135 well i think his last couple of videos have been on more serious topics. Maybe whem he gets back to lighter topics he'll start saying it again
I was dead for 3 minutes and brought back into a 3 day coma. I've had 2 NDEs and been dead twice for unrelated injuries. My takeaway: I've been friendzoned by the grim reaper. The biggest problem is that now I kind of feel like I'm invincible. I don't feel like death is even an option.
Ive had what was a semi close to death experience a few times. last time i was in the hospital everyone cried and i thought absolutely nothing of it because it happened so many times. So i know what u mean by feeling invincible lolll
My daughter was in a coma after having brain surgery. During that time I read her books that were her favorites when she was a child (she was 36 at the time), I would put warm towels on her face to freshen her up, talk to her all the time, and rub her cheeks against mine. She told me she heard and felt everything I did. During her final coma, I did the same things even though we were told she wasn’t going to recover. I hope she felt and heard me until her last moment.
Thank you to Anthony and the team for having me on the show and giving me the chance to talk about a very emotional event. You guys are awesome and the videos are too!
Thank you for sharing your experience and spreading awareness about addiction and the dangers of alcohol! I also started drinking at a young age (some family would let me have a little alcohol even when I was in elementary school) and it became a big problem in my teen years. My acid reflux was so bad that I literally threw up every time I drank even one beverage and told myself it was fine. On weekends especially I would drink and smoke weed until I could just try to forget all my anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other psychological issues. I also ended up in the hospital with horrible alcohol poisoning, not to mention all the times I put myself in danger and embarrassment being blackout drunk. I'm so glad that I've learned I don't need alcohol to relax, have fun, or cope with stress. Therapy, dietary changes (whole food plant-based), and self-discovery have really turned my life around. I may still have a drink or 2 once every few months, but the desire has definitely diminished. I hope it gets easier for you, my friend!
@@XTheUltimateHeartzX I changed it don't worry. But it wasn't exactly wrong. I wasn't claiming that Christianity is a cult (or whatever Eben has going on). I was more making a slight reference to the fact that most religions started like Eben, with a hallucination and a resulting new view of the universe.
@@loveforeva12 I was with him right up until he started describing things as angelic, and citing common Born-Again Christian imagery. I was just nodding along too after that point.
@@ianrose6218 What exactly did he say that evoked christian imagery? Are u sure u didn't just project your own references by hearing certain words like angels? I mean he didn't exactly describe how these things really looked like other than saying everything looked ideal and alive and beautiful. He didn't say he saw little naked blond babies with wings floating or anything. But that's what I imagined. And i also got a little skeptical when I heard those things but then I started questioning my own reaction and thinking; wait, I didn't get enough information to write him off like that, maybe i'm projecting my own references and impressions of religious imagery on his experience
It wasn’t his brain, he was brain dead at this point and his mind was to damaged to process he was on the verge of dying. most likely did at some point this is how most people describe heaven.
I was in a coma at the age of 10 for over a week after sledding in a graveyard and smashed my head into a tree. My head was cracked in half with my brain exposed. The Drs told my parents I may not wake up and if I did I would most likely have many disabilities. To everyone’s surprise I came back fine. The only side affect is I have lost a lot of memories from the age of 10 and younger. I was definitely blessed and was given another chance of life.
I highly suspect that Eben experienced a DMT trip. The things and events that he described are quite similar to things people describe that have experience with DMT. DMT is a naturally occuring chemical substance that is also produced in our brains. If I remember correctly the brain releases a dose when a person dies, and sometimes does during near-death experiences. It is quite likely that reports about out of body experiences, white lights, tunnels, new colours, supernatural beings and many more are caused by this. It is considered by many as one of the most intense and profound hallocinogenic substances and I think it must have fueled Eben's awesome experience.
There are articles (research and discussions) that talk about a chemical thats released during near death experiences that is very similar to DMT. not sure if its that your body releases a chemical-- thats was just my understanding of it.. but they say DMT can mimic the feeling of whatever if is that happens to your brain/body when your about to die.
Hey Anthony, if you ever make a video about people with Endometriosis, I'd love to speak to you! Im 31, disabled from Endometriosis, ive done 2 different chemotherapy treatments, and 6 surgeries. Endometriosis effects approx 10-20% of adult women in America, and over 176 million women worldwide. These numbers are probably much higher than that though, because it takes on average 10 years, and 7 different doctors, in order to get a diagnosis, and the only way of diagnosis is via surgery. I am literally an encyclopedia about Endometriosis, and would be so happy to talk about the effect it has on those who have it, and their families and friends. Also, id just like to say, that cramps are totally normal, but *pain* is not normal, its your bodies way of telling you something is wrong. So if you experience pain associated with your cycle, *PLEASE TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR*
Yes yes yes! Endometriosis has completely altered my life at just 18, and I really love hearing other people’s experiences with it as well. I hope he does this at some point :)
@@Maialeen Not a hate comment, but you can't really SEE someone's pronouns. One of my close friends use they/them pronouns yet they look femenine because they have prominent hips and a more fem face structure, yet they don't use traditionally femenine pronouns.
@@Nico-qb4kp You can when it's obvious that person isn't somewhere in between. It's obvious that Eben would assume that you would refer to him in the third person as he/him, because he doesn't see the need to disclose his pronouns. It's just not a thought that comes to his mind, hence why he didn't list any.
@@jackcolson4745 i use any pronouns (she/they/he/it) and you cant tell it just by looking at my face. You shouldn't be trying to only tell someone's pronouns by how their presenting whether they're fem presenting or masc presenting ect. My best friend is genderfluid but also super fem presenting, its just a lot easier to ask instead of assume. since we dont know Eben's pronouns yet we use they/them pronouns for them until we know otherwise.
Julia: they/them Frank: he/him Eben: *my pronouns are none. please do not refer to me. even better; do not perceive me. for practical purposes, i do not exist*
More like a mixture of him and Bob Ross. Something about his voice is so soothing, and his descriptions are immaculate. I would read an entire book on his experiences in that world for sure.
Eben: "My back started hurting and then I fell into a coma" Julia: "I got painful headaches and then I fell into a coma" My hypochondriac ass feeling everything they say: 👁👄👁
im about to have top surgery next month so hearing julia's story initially filled me with anxiety but they really eased me by mentioning it was unrelated they didnt have to include that detail but they did thankyou so much julia i hope ur doing well!!!!
I hope your top surgery and recovery went well and that you are living your best elated "I can be shirtless if I want to" life. Love from a Swedish pansexual
i'd love to see "i spent a day with indigenous americans" because there are soooo many different indigenous cultures just in the US alone and we rarely ever get to hear about them and their struggles!
@@stripeybeast agreed. It was beautiful, and I'm glad he had such a positive experience, but to go beyond and say that "modern neuroscience can't explain this" as a neurosurgeon is absurd and irresponsible to his audience. He acts as if this phenomenon has never been studied before. There's nothing wrong with just talking about your experience, but he's literally promoting an agenda here and even his books....... Almost felt like he was... you know... selling himself (because he was.)
My father was put into a coma in 2017 after the doctors found 34 blood clots in his body, he was stuck in a coma for about 4 weeks. Only coming out for a few minutes. I was so worried that he was gonna die and being in middle school didn't help at all because I just pretended like nothing was wrong. I'd be staying with my family members while I rarely got to see my mom because she was staying with my dad. I'm extremely fortunate to have a lucky life and not have to deal with traumatic events. So I will say this is the most traumatic event of my life. My father eventually came out, and it's been a little over 3 years since he did, he's doing so much better. I know that most people are not going to read this so if you do thank you for listening. Have an amazing day, you deserve it.
i'm so sorry you had to go through that !! i'm so glad your father is better and i hope you never have to deal with anything like that again, i hope you're doing well !!
Genuinely so glad that Julia said that the coma had nothing to do with their surgery. I'm getting top surgery end of this year so pretty soon (time flies by) and I legit got scared. Like the doctors and surgeon didn't tell me that could happen. But luckily it cant from the surgery.
Eben's description made me feel happy. I find it funny that it seems like Frank and Eben had such opposite experiences, yet each of them had the exact one they needed to have a more positive outlook. Frank was struggling with suicidal thoughts, so he needed that non-existence experience to make him appreciate life more. Eben was a skeptic and he needed a spiritual experience to make him appreciate life more. So each one got what was best for them.
That's pretty nice perspective. Though Eben was literally brain dead during his time and Frank was in chemically induced coma. So no wonder there were different results. Maybe Frank was just in the waiting room while Eben was already moved on.
I know you’re only joking, but if you’re interested I have some information abt what his experience may be connected to. What he described is similar to what is depicted in Hinduism and western spirituality, and I believe what language the spirits were chanting or singing was light language. I think he was traveling through the different levels of consciousness, and the second and third was going deeper into his subconscious. Obviously I may be wrong, this is just speculation.
@@kandy1643 you are wrong, he was in heaven, the bible describes heaven as a place of peace, love, comunity AND WORSHIP. The music he heard was ANGELS WORSHIPPING god. You can come to this beautiful heaven and live with god for eternity IF you accept jesus christ as your lord and saviour! God loves you and wants you to be saved from hell, but you choose where your eternal destination will be
my dad was in a medically induced coma for about a week or 2 because he had necrotising faciitis (flesh eating disease) & he still tells me about all the trips dreams he was having in the coma & it was such a scary time because he had 90% chance he wasn't gonna make it but I'm very glad he got through it
Funny story, when they were waking me up from a coma, I actually swung at the doctor when he was poking me, but then I went back under for 2 days, and I thought it was a weird dream.
@@user-ic6nm4ol4r I laugh my ass off about it. Once I found out it actually happened(it also happened in a different room than the one I wokeup in for good) I felt sooo bad for the doctor, but also I've always been proud of myself for that🤣🤣🤣 like, even when I'm coming out of a coma, I protecc and I also fucking atack🤣🤣🤣
That would also be extremely traumatic for the person telling the story, mainly because exorcisms aren't real, they are placebos, and most occur due to a person or their family being so super super religious that they would rather this magical fake ritual be performed on them, instead of getting actual medicinal help from a trained professional with a scientific background.
YES! Also to the person above me... he literally did an episode on time travelers. It doesn’t matter if you think it’s real or not. People have experienced things (or think that they have since you wanna be that way). The people that liked and responded to this comment want to hear from them.
@@Aaaaaaaalonika I didn't say not to do the episode. I just said it would be traumatic. Don't be so defensive. I think it would be a great episode too. I just worry about the effect it would have on the people reliving it as they tell the story.
Eben's story made me so happy for some reason, I just feel really joyful listening to his story, I'm glad they let him speak and aired it even though most people will brush off experiences like that, no matter what you believe, it was a lovely vision!
I regret nor being able to send an application, I would have loved to show the darker side of being in a come. I was in it for 19 days and had constant nightmares where I was being seriously hurt and killed, being in a coma can be an amazing experience for some people apparently and I’m happy not everyone in a come have such terrible nightmares. I love this series and I truly loved hearing how it was for others
Hi i was in a coma for two weeks in 2019 and I had a similar experience ...it was like a never ending nightmare that felt so very real and after waking up it took me a while to realize that those things didnt happen in reality...it was kind of a disturbing experience for me ...since the things I went through in my nightmares in the coma felt like a way of my brain to try to deal with my existing trauma...it was horrifying.. and Im more than thankfull I got a second chance and survived this... im so happy all my family and friends prayed for me and were there for me in this awful time ~~~
That'd actually be really cool, because guaranteed these people would be self described 'normal' and seem ordinary and boring on paper, but their wildest stuff would come out in the interview. There's no such thing as normal really, everyone has something going on
I hope Eben’s experience was more then just an event that his brain experienced. I’m an extreme realist with almost no spiritual faith, which sucks bc it makes the idea of death and how small I am within the context of the universe and time, is really scary. I’d love for there to be more then just this physical moment.
I hope so as well. I lost my sister a year ago, and to think that this might have been something she experienced as she passed away is kinda soothing for me since I always worried if she was scared in that moment...
Coma is a life changing experience. I'm also a coma survivor. I felt from the back of the truck...hit my head on the ground...my brain was full of blood..induced coma for 2 days. When I was in coma I had one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I saw two much...beautiful things...saw spirits..I saw my great-grandmother that passed away 17 years ago, got to talk to her thing that i missed the most...I saw my own body laying down on bed in coma..and more..saw too many things.
Eben was very well spoken, clearly super intelligent and he also has a super nice voice. Also the description of his coma sounds a lot like a DMT trip.
I would love a “I spent a day with recovering addicts” because people only see addicts as druggies whenever there’s many kinds of addictions and we are still people with a family and friends that r very hurt and need help not random druggies off the street Edit: wow I didn’t think this would get attention thank you for caring about this it means a lot ❤️
And I would love to be interviewed for it. I am a recovering drug addict who's very young but done a lot of drugs and been addicted to many. I am currently am on methadone, clean off meth, heroin, and pills. I am now a mother of 2 and very happily married, I want to end the stigma.
I also come from a family of drug addicts, who hoped I wouldn't end up like them, I did. But I want to change what people think of addicts. We aren't all bad people.
The reason why I would love this is because I was born was a disability meaning I’ve been on pain meds my entire life and was addicted to them as a kid and to my teen years and only recently started to recover tho I still have a long way to go. My sister was also an addict, actually almost everyone in my family has had addiction in some way whether they admit to it or not and it’s important to show it can happen to anyone and just because it doesn’t look like someone does they do and it affects everyone I wouldn’t mind doing an interview because my story is different than others but it’s still valid
You need to do a “I spent a day with previous mental hospital patients” because I’ve been to many mental hospitals and I have a LOT of stories and crazy things I’ve done or had happen to me and it would make a good video if you interviewed people like me who have been through that before
I unfortunately shared my experience with some friends and recently one of my friends had some serious suicidal ideation and refused to get help because of my experience at our local hospital. Unfortunately, now when I deal with suicidal thoughts, I also lean towards not getting emergent help because of my horrible mental hospital experience. (I'm in Florida, USA).
TW// TRANSPHOBIA IN REPLIES (can y'all just ignore em instead of replying lol they're only here to have fun and attention, deprive them of it) I like how Julia clarified that the coma they fell into was not at all related to their gender reaffirming surgery and just a crazy coincidence, so as to not cause any fear among the trans folks that might be watching this video/ people about to go through the same surgery. It seems like a small thing but it's really helpful, especially as someone who has intense anxiety lol.
@@missberyl I feel like, the lesions were probably developing even before they had the surgery. The surgery just happened to increase the risk I guess. Nonetheless my point being it wasn't entirely caused by the surgery like they said.
I'm so thankful for the clarification, my heart skipped a beat when they mentioned their top surgery, i already have enough anxiety about surgeries in general and being aware of people having such big issues specifically related to top surgery would make my anxiety even worse lol
its also scary to think that the lesions couldve just been there silently getting worse, and no one wouldve known unless julia got the surgery in the first place
stopped watching for a bit idk why i know thelast episode i watched was the mia khalifa one comming back holy shit all the new episodes are serious topics now
Everybody's experiences are different, but for me, it was really peaceful. I experienced similar things to Eben. I could hear everyone around me (I was only under 3 days), although there were some gaps. I used to be deathly afraid of going into a coma, but if it is anything like me, you will be okay
This episode made me want an “the world of living with addiction/alcoholism”. It’s classified as a disease and it goes much deeper than not being able to put down a drink or drug and it’s not talked about enough. There needs to be a bigger discussion of what it means to be an addict/ Alcoholic.
Agreed I’m actually 5 years sober today. I’d like to see more awareness of it since we almost glorify/joke about drinking so much in society, but not the reality and darkness of it.
Agreed, i work as a recovery coordinator for addicts and this would reduce the stigma and enable people to seek help! Well done everyone on their recovery!
I'd love to see "I spend a day with NDE (Near Death Experiences) Survivors from Hell" So unlike Eben's beautiful heavenly experience, you talk to those who had a terrible hell experience and came back
bruh, my dad was in a coma for like more than 15 days and he said he had so many dreams about parallel universes and horrific nightmares he even cries everytime he talks about it
He is. Either that or some sort of death hallucination. Those can occur after death, for some it’s just black for others it’s something like this guy described.
@@Alexa-so4jh “well the thing is Eben was brain dead so he couldn’t of had hallucinated, he has a video explaining it and going through his medical records”
Anthony: What was it like being in a coma? Frank: Its like being blackout drunk Julia: I mean i think i felt people but im not sure Eben: MUSICAL HARMONIES, BEAUTIFUL LIGHT, PORTALS, HAPPINESS, MAGIC
@@James_Randal that’s literally kot a delusion. You should refer to them by their correct pronouns because first of all it doesn’t hurt anyone but ask respectful
Julia: it was kind of dark and weird, I kind of sensed people in the room though Frank: it was like sleeping a dreamless night Eben: I transcended reality and time and space
@@sakusakiyoomi4415 I think the person was saying that those two in particular seem scarier because it was just darkness for them whereas Eben remembers seeing things and feeling safe
I understand where this is coming from I just want to include him too, he may have had a much less scarier experience then the other 2 but I just wanted to see his name on there I’m not too bothered and I really don’t like getting multiple comments it makes me uncomfortable but I’ve said what I needed to and my short opinion ig sorry for irritating anyone if I did.
Eben’s story is very comforting to me. i’m terrified of death so i’d like to think that what he experienced was more that just something that played in his head 🥺💗
As an occupational therapist who has worked with coma survivors, this has been incredibly eye-opening! I’ve done the poking and sternal rubs Julia mentioned and each time I did, I’d feel so bad. It’s incredible hearing it from the other side of the recovery journey so thank you for sharing this!
Hey thank you for sharing this. I'd like to know, so when do you attempt to wake them up and start poking them? Is it everyday to see if they'd wake up or after a medication is lowered or?
@@VoVina111 I think it depends. In medically induced coma, waking a patient up is a decision made by the doctors because it's not just about waking them up. If the person is intubated, you have to make sure that they can breathe on their own. In my experience, they wake people slowly and it can take time. They check that the person can support their own vital function before waking them fully. And usually, the family is told that they don't know how the person is going to come back, as they can't evaluate how cognitive functions were affected by the accident/disease/coma. (My experience : many hours spent in the hospital with family/friends in comas)
I thought Eben's testimony was amazing and actually encouraged friends to listen to his story, but I've been made aware that his medical career was full of malpractice and he is notorious for being a bad historian. Even his own doctors say that the procedure he underwent is different to the story he tells. It's unfortunate and I think Eben probably did experience something phenomenal.... But I wish I'd done research about him sooner so I could see how much I could actually believe anything he says.
Some people in the comments/replys are saying that what Eben says on the interview is fabricated. The commenters also say that Eben wrote a book about the whole experience and it was totally different from what Eben said in the interview.
I read a study a few weeks ago about near death experiences and out of body experiences of people that have been blind since birth. There are blind people who have seen things for the first time ever during these experiences, it's incredibly fascinating to read about.
A day with “childhood cancer survivors” would be interesting. The experience is very different from adults. One who as diagnosed as an infant, toddler, grade school, preteen, & teenager would be great. Plus involving how the family as a whole was impacted.
This was my situation, it ruienf my life & took away my middle school/highschool experience. I wish I never got sick my life haven’t & will never be the same. I’m sad & happy but still mourning what my life could’ve been & im only 19 💔
@@SlumpTia I know a lot of people put weight on that part of your life but it's because their lives afterwards were miserable! They're just embarrassing learning years you look back on and laugh at. Everything afterwards is when you acquire real experiences, so please don't feel like you've missed out!
My grandma was in a coma for 14 days with covid right before the pandemic, we didn’t know it was covid at the time but it was so scary and sad. My grandma raised me as a child so it was like losing my mother. The doctors tell you they might wake up but they can’t really tell the brain function until they wake up. But she spent 6 months in rehabilitation learning to use her voice again, every muscle that existed in her body, and it was so traumatic for her. But I’m so so so beyond grateful we didn’t lose her.
@@gabywabyfofaby Depersonalization and Derealization are two different things that happen (usually when triggered, but can happen randomly) when you have the disorder. Depersonalization is the feeling of detachment from yourself, and the feeling you don't control yourself, you can some times have the experience of feeling as if you are watching yourself from afar, or inside your body but with the feeling you have no control of it, even though you do. Sometimes when looking in a mirror you may not accept that what you see in the mirror (yourself) is real and that you don't remember looking like what you see, even though it is you. You may not be aware that you are able to talk until you start talking, but you may also feel like you didn't start talking because of the feeling you can control yourself and that you are not real. You feel like a robot, you feel like you can't control what you are doing. Derealization is the detachment from the world, you may feel real, but the world around you feels artificial, people don't even seem real, you feel like you are trapped in a bubble, because of that sounds may be slightly drowned out, another example is feeling like there is a fog or veil between you and reality, sometimes people see a lack of vividness and emotional color, they may have familiar places feel alien and bizarre, sometimes it is described as viewing the world through a TV screen. Fake but there. DPRD (Depersonalization Derealization Disorder) is very common with interpersonal abuse, E.g. Childhood abuse, mainly focusing on domestic neglect, abandonment, and childhood emotional abuse. Only about two percent (2%) of people are diagnosed with the disorder, though 50% may have experienced a symptom once before due to intense stress.
@@corneliogallo3250 brain dead? I’m not fully finished with the video yet but isn’t brain dead meaning dead? I just did a quick google search and it said that you’re not brain dead in a coma your brain dead when your dead but I didn’t look into it much so I don’t know for sure
Whether eben's story was true or not, its just amazing hearing his story, and its clear that he appreciates life infinitely, because its really amazing to be in that dream especially for a month
@@snowcatapeller deeper topics bring awareness to subjects that maybe get overlooked or give people a better understanding, to me they are more interesting. But I do agree I wish he would post more fun videos just as much as he post theses kind of videos especially with every thing going on in the world.
@@madisonkittii1676all the videos are serious now not saying he should stop it or that i dont like it im starting to watch anthony again i just want a few light hearted topics to keep it balanced
What Eben describes is a bit like what my mum described to me when her heart stopped beating during an operation. First, she says, it was like an out of body experience and she actually saw the doctors trying to revive her and then she recalls walking through a sunlit valley and then a voice telling her it was not her time yet at which point the doctors got her heart back online.
My roommate was in a coma for over 2 months and he never recovered his brain function. The guests on this show are truly blessed to have woken up after a short period of time 🙏
As a little kid, I had life-threatening measles and was put in an induced coma. Many days later I began to wake up but was alone and in the middle of the night. I was so sick that no one knew. The next night it happened again. It was so intensely lonely that I still occasionally have nightmares about it. I still remember the nurse coming in when I was awake. She was very kind but had to do all the nurse things and then leave. I knew that it really bothered her to go.
I was in a coma for 8 days and all I remember is nothing, I was hospitalized for 2 months and I had to re-grow up from the mental age of 2. I couldn't even use a spoon, I was so proud when I did lol. it was the worst experience I've ever had. Ever since then.... people tell me I'm different and I still have brain damage which will be permanent, I forget things a lot, even if it happened 2 min before. i dont know a lot of my family members and I get looks like I'm crazy.
I can't imagine how it feels to have someone close to you be in a coma because if they dont wake up someone would have to decide how long their loved one would be in a coma before they would let them go
My father was in a coma after a motorcycle accident and was announced brain dead, only breathing from machines. In his will he stated he would only want to be in a coma (vegetative state) for 2 weeks - no more - if pronounced brain dead. He made the decision himself, so it wouldn't be placed on my Mother or other family members. After my family and I went through that we all had living wills written for what we would want to happen if put in coma, like my father, so no one would be put in the position of having to make the decision.
My dad was in a coma for over a year, he was never brain dead so there was hope that he would recover. Eventually his organs started to shut down so we had to let him go.
I'm actually really into this. Wonderful eye opening content. Wonderful how we just come together as humans sometimes. Rather than what we're described as by appearances. What is on the inside of all of us I believe is special and individual to each our own way, and it's hard to wrap my head around how many people don't see the value of *LIFE.*
I’ve never been in a coma, but I can relate to what Frank said about near death experiences and suicidal ideation. I have chronic pain and it made me feel suicidal in the early years of it. Then one day I had a car accident where my car flipped and I walked away without a scratch (no one was hurt). And I’ve never returned to that place of ideation in the same way since, because in the second the accident happened, I clearly thought, ‘I’m not ready to end life.’
“I spent a day with people with Scoliosis” as someone who struggled with Scoliosis and had to get back surgery, there is a weird lack of information about it. I felt very alone about my experience, despite it being something quite common.
@Kayla Jastrzebski I have had the metal rods and fusion, the recovery was hard but magnetic rods are so much better than normal ones, if you get normal ones, you need to get surgery every 6 months I think, the magnetic ones work by putting a machine that just lays on your back and it makes the rods go longer, no pain with it and it takes like 5 minutes and it happens once a month.
@Kayla Jastrzebski okay my bad i wasn’t aware of your comments hehe and ofc i dont mind talking about it at al!oh yeah i had the spine fusion surgery back in january 2020, metal rods and everything. and im still very much in recovery especially with the covid lockdowns, i had to delay physical therapy and it’s been hectic ever since. and the pain sadly remained. my back muscle are practically nonexistent, since i don’t exercise at all lmao, so the pain has been... awful. and that’s one of the things that people don’t talk about as much as well. muscle recovery ig. as for the surgery, i cant really measure the pain since im a bit biased if you will lmao. i just so happened to get my period at the same time. so i was recovering from the surgery and all that and then there was my period and the back pain that comes along with it. but for me i think the hardest part was recovery. ofc the surgery hurts, and having to walk for the first time was god awful. i was also very scared of doing the wrong movement at the wrong angle and setting a screw loose or something 💀. But looking back at now, i thankfully don’t remember the pain all that much. it’s more of the things that i had to struggle with afterwards like the right positions to sleep in ig, and things like that. oh showering without getting the wound infected that was a big thing that i wish more people on the internet talked about. and sadly in my country, and school, scoliosis is something that is almost never talked about. which made me really really angry since it’s more common in adolescence. not to mention all the stories i started here from friends and families about people who also had scoliosis, but i only heard them AFTER surgery. i just wish it was more genuinely talked about.
I had spinal fusion in 2012 (when i was 11), I was also so afraid to afraid to walk. I don't remember the pain at all tbh. If anyone is afraid to get surgery in the future, its not as scary as it seems. Truth be told I always forget I even had the surgery, nothing in my daily life has been effected at all. The only thing I cant do is get on trampolines (trampolines arent gonna mess up the surgery, spine doctors just hate it because a large portion of adolescent spinal injuries come from trampolines. I still get on them tho.) Also back and stomach tattoos/piercing's are out of the question, but other than that nothing about your daily life will be changed after recovery - which lasts around 3-6 months.
I was in an induced coma for ten days last December. I had so many dreams(for lack of a better term), it felt like months. I am still recovering and I may never be the same as I was before the coma. It's very frustrating. I wish there were more resources for people in my situation. I can find lots for people that had a traumatic brain injury, but not many for people that were put into an induced coma. And since it wasn't from covid (I had a really severe case of RSV), I feel like I'm the odd woman out.
come back later this week for *I spent a day with people w/ ADHD*.

I was dead for 3 minutes and brought back into a 3 day coma. I've had 2 NDEs and been dead twice for unrelated injuries. My takeaway: I've been friendzoned by the grim reaper. The biggest problem is that now I kind of feel like I'm invincible. I don't feel like death is even an option.
I just laugh at the people who say “YOLO!” Uhhh, sometimes you get more than once 🤷🏼♀️
Ive had what was a semi close to death experience a few times. last time i was in the hospital everyone cried and i thought absolutely nothing of it because it happened so many times. So i know what u mean by feeling invincible lolll

My daughter was in a coma after having brain surgery. During that time I read her books that were her favorites when she was a child (she was 36 at the time), I would put warm towels on her face to freshen her up, talk to her all the time, and rub her cheeks against mine. She told me she heard and felt everything I did. During her final coma, I did the same things even though we were told she wasn’t going to recover. I hope she felt and heard me until her last moment.
She did ❤️
You’re an amazing mother
You're so strong, she loves you so much.

It was really eye opening to hear your story. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for being brave and sharing your story
Thank you for sharing your experience and spreading awareness about addiction and the dangers of alcohol!
I also started drinking at a young age (some family would let me have a little alcohol even when I was in elementary school) and it became a big problem in my teen years. My acid reflux was so bad that I literally threw up every time I drank even one beverage and told myself it was fine. On weekends especially I would drink and smoke weed until I could just try to forget all my anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other psychological issues. I also ended up in the hospital with horrible alcohol poisoning, not to mention all the times I put myself in danger and embarrassment being blackout drunk.
I'm so glad that I've learned I don't need alcohol to relax, have fun, or cope with stress. Therapy, dietary changes (whole food plant-based), and self-discovery have really turned my life around. I may still have a drink or 2 once every few months, but the desire has definitely diminished. I hope it gets easier for you, my friend!

I was in a coma at the age of 10 for over a week after sledding in a graveyard and smashed my head into a tree. My head was cracked in half with my brain exposed. The Drs told my parents I may not wake up and if I did I would most likely have many disabilities. To everyone’s surprise I came back fine. The only side affect is I have lost a lot of memories from the age of 10 and younger. I was definitely blessed and was given another chance of life.
Those ghost were just not having it lol. I’m glad you’re okay. My dad did the same thing with a light pole as a child. He’s so proud of his scar
Oh wow. I slid head first into a tree when I was 3 but luckily all I had was a minor concussion
I think the higher being heard the drs and said nah we gonna be fine
oh wow. how did they heal your skull like could they even bandage it up as the brain was in the way
Sorry to hear bout that experience. But on a sidenote: Who the hell goes sledding in a graveyard??
Suggestion: I spent a day with suicide prevention hotline workers"
Yes
Yes
I like this idea
This would be so interesting
Please
I highly suspect that Eben experienced a DMT trip.
The things and events that he described are quite similar to things people describe that have experience with DMT. DMT is a naturally occuring chemical substance that is also produced in our brains. If I remember correctly the brain releases a dose when a person dies, and sometimes does during near-death experiences. It is quite likely that reports about out of body experiences, white lights, tunnels, new colours, supernatural beings and many more are caused by this. It is considered by many as one of the most intense and profound hallocinogenic substances and I think it must have fueled Eben's awesome experience.
mhm.
There are articles (research and discussions) that talk about a chemical thats released during near death experiences that is very similar to DMT. not sure if its that your body releases a chemical-- thats was just my understanding of it.. but they say DMT can mimic the feeling of whatever if is that happens to your brain/body when your about to die.
Yes that’s exactly what I was thinking
Was very similar to a mega dose acid trip I had when I was younger
Yeah I though so too

Hey Anthony, if you ever make a video about people with Endometriosis, I'd love to speak to you! Im 31, disabled from Endometriosis, ive done 2 different chemotherapy treatments, and 6 surgeries. Endometriosis effects approx 10-20% of adult women in America, and over 176 million women worldwide. These numbers are probably much higher than that though, because it takes on average 10 years, and 7 different doctors, in order to get a diagnosis, and the only way of diagnosis is via surgery.
I am literally an encyclopedia about Endometriosis, and would be so happy to talk about the effect it has on those who have it, and their families and friends.
Also, id just like to say, that cramps are totally normal, but *pain* is not normal, its your bodies way of telling you something is wrong. So if you experience pain associated with your cycle, *PLEASE TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR*
YES! I WOULD LOVE AN EPISODE ON THIS!!!

His experience is the most abstract but he's the only one who doesn't feel the need to tell us what we can see with our own eyes.
@@Maialeen Not a hate comment, but you can't really SEE someone's pronouns. One of my close friends use they/them pronouns yet they look femenine because they have prominent hips and a more fem face structure, yet they don't use traditionally femenine pronouns.
@@Nico-qb4kp
You can when it's obvious that person isn't somewhere in between. It's obvious that Eben would assume that you would refer to him in the third person as he/him, because he doesn't see the need to disclose his pronouns. It's just not a thought that comes to his mind, hence why he didn't list any.
@@jackcolson4745 i use any pronouns (she/they/he/it) and you cant tell it just by looking at my face.
You shouldn't be trying to only tell someone's pronouns by how their presenting whether they're fem presenting or masc presenting ect.
My best friend is genderfluid but also super fem presenting, its just a lot easier to ask instead of assume.
since we dont know Eben's pronouns yet we use they/them pronouns for them until we know otherwise.

I hope it went well and if so congrats
Eben's description made me feel happy. I find it funny that it seems like Frank and Eben had such opposite experiences, yet each of them had the exact one they needed to have a more positive outlook. Frank was struggling with suicidal thoughts, so he needed that non-existence experience to make him appreciate life more. Eben was a skeptic and he needed a spiritual experience to make him appreciate life more. So each one got what was best for them.
thats such a good point!!
this is beautifully said !
this makes me so happy, what a nice thought
Maybe thats death
That's pretty nice perspective. Though Eben was literally brain dead during his time and Frank was in chemically induced coma. So no wonder there were different results. Maybe Frank was just in the waiting room while Eben was already moved on.
Eben: * explains his experience in great detail*
Bill Wurts: _you can make a religion out of this_
I know you’re only joking, but if you’re interested I have some information abt what his experience may be connected to. What he described is similar to what is depicted in Hinduism and western spirituality, and I believe what language the spirits were chanting or singing was light language. I think he was traveling through the different levels of consciousness, and the second and third was going deeper into his subconscious. Obviously I may be wrong, this is just speculation.

You know what would be cool if you spent a day with people that got a Exorcism.
That would be SO INTERESTING
That would be a really cool episode
That would also be extremely traumatic for the person telling the story, mainly because exorcisms aren't real, they are placebos, and most occur due to a person or their family being so super super religious that they would rather this magical fake ritual be performed on them, instead of getting actual medicinal help from a trained professional with a scientific background.
YES! Also to the person above me... he literally did an episode on time travelers. It doesn’t matter if you think it’s real or not. People have experienced things (or think that they have since you wanna be that way). The people that liked and responded to this comment want to hear from them.

I regret nor being able to send an application, I would have loved to show the darker side of being in a come. I was in it for 19 days and had constant nightmares where I was being seriously hurt and killed, being in a coma can be an amazing experience for some people apparently and I’m happy not everyone in a come have such terrible nightmares.

Hi i was in a coma for two weeks in 2019 and I had a similar experience ...it was like a never ending nightmare that felt so very real and after waking up it took me a while to realize that those things didnt happen in reality...it was kind of a disturbing experience for me ...since the things I went through in my nightmares in the coma felt like a way of my brain to try to deal with my existing trauma...it was horrifying.. and Im more than thankfull I got a second chance and survived this... im so happy all my family and friends prayed for me and were there for me in this awful time ~~~

I hope so as well. I lost my sister a year ago, and to think that this might have been something she experienced as she passed away is kinda soothing for me since I always worried if she was scared in that moment...

Eben's brain was just like "oh shit he's dying, give him an Acid trip STAT!"
I mean yeah that’s basically how DMT works when dying
im no docter or anything but what if when he was in the coma it somehow released all his DMT chemicals from the brain and Caused a giant DMT Trip ?
Haha I just commented about how I had a simular experience on acid when I left my body.
@@ashash6866 thats honestly what I think may happen when we die. Just a neverending dmt trip.
I mean it ends when your brain turn into dust
Coma is a life changing experience. I'm also a coma survivor. I felt from the back of the truck...hit my head on the ground...my brain was full of blood..induced coma for 2 days. When I was in coma I had one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I saw two much...beautiful things...saw spirits..I saw my great-grandmother that passed away 17 years ago, got to talk to her thing that i missed the most...I saw my own body laying down on bed in coma..and more..saw too many things.
Eben was very well spoken, clearly super intelligent and he also has a super nice voice. Also the description of his coma sounds a lot like a DMT trip.
That's exactly what I was thinking. It sounds incredibly similar to trip reports of DMT
That's because DMT is naturally produced inside brain while we sleep
Isn’t dmt made when your brain is dying. So quite literally he was in a dmt trip.
@@dorthyalice yeah there's two times when the amount of dmt produced is biggest, when we are Born and when we die
maybe one of the medicine or something he was given during the coma was similar to DMT (i’m not a doctor or do drugs and stuff but it’s just a theory)
I would love a “I spent a day with recovering addicts” because people only see addicts as druggies whenever there’s many kinds of addictions and we are still people with a family and friends that r very hurt and need help not random druggies off the street
Edit: wow I didn’t think this would get attention thank you for caring about this it means a lot ❤️
And I would love to be interviewed for it. I am a recovering drug addict who's very young but done a lot of drugs and been addicted to many. I am currently am on methadone, clean off meth, heroin, and pills.
I am now a mother of 2 and very happily married, I want to end the stigma.
I also come from a family of drug addicts, who hoped I wouldn't end up like them, I did. But I want to change what people think of addicts. We aren't all bad people.
Yess could interview Taylor Nicole Dean if she want it that is
The reason why I would love this is because I was born was a disability meaning I’ve been on pain meds my entire life and was addicted to them as a kid and to my teen years and only recently started to recover tho I still have a long way to go. My sister was also an addict, actually almost everyone in my family has had addiction in some way whether they admit to it or not and it’s important to show it can happen to anyone and just because it doesn’t look like someone does they do and it affects everyone I wouldn’t mind doing an interview because my story is different than others but it’s still valid
You should talk to Jessica Kent on RUclips, she’s great:)
You need to do a “I spent a day with previous mental hospital patients” because I’ve been to many mental hospitals and I have a LOT of stories and crazy things I’ve done or had happen to me and it would make a good video if you interviewed people like me who have been through that before
Hb workers
That'd be so interesting!
I just started my first Internship at a mental hospital and trust me every day I work there is so overwhelming. I would love to see this as an episode
I unfortunately shared my experience with some friends and recently one of my friends had some serious suicidal ideation and refused to get help because of my experience at our local hospital. Unfortunately, now when I deal with suicidal thoughts, I also lean towards not getting emergent help because of my horrible mental hospital experience. (I'm in Florida, USA).
Rihhhh psych ward stories are the best tho,, some of mine are fucked up but I got hella funny ones too lol
I cant believe this man described a psychedelic trip in detail and we're talking about a coma. I love him
TW// TRANSPHOBIA IN REPLIES (can y'all just ignore em instead of replying lol they're only here to have fun and attention, deprive them of it)
I like how Julia clarified that the coma they fell into was not at all related to their gender reaffirming surgery and just a crazy coincidence, so as to not cause any fear among the trans folks that might be watching this video/ people about to go through the same surgery. It seems like a small thing but it's really helpful, especially as someone who has intense anxiety lol.
Any type of surgery carries risk, people tend to forget this.
The infection probably WAS from their surgery, but just because it was surgery in general not because of top surgery specifically.
@@missberyl I feel like, the lesions were probably developing even before they had the surgery. The surgery just happened to increase the risk I guess. Nonetheless my point being it wasn't entirely caused by the surgery like they said.
I'm so thankful for the clarification, my heart skipped a beat when they mentioned their top surgery, i already have enough anxiety about surgeries in general and being aware of people having such big issues specifically related to top surgery would make my anxiety even worse lol
its also scary to think that the lesions couldve just been there silently getting worse, and no one wouldve known unless julia got the surgery in the first place
This is my favorite series on RUclips by far!
mine too
@@renab.7390 👍🏻
I love these interviews so much also!
same!!!
stopped watching for a bit idk why
i know thelast episode i watched was the mia khalifa one
comming back holy shit
all the new episodes are serious topics now
Eben’s description completely just blew my mind, it was so descriptive. I just can’t imagine how it felt.
Most definitely!
well he basically had a dmt trip
Eben sounds like he had a good trip on coma.
eben: reject humanity, BECOME WORM
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've always had a slight fear of going into a coma ;-; like how scary is it that u might be able to hear people talk about how u might not wake up?
Everybody's experiences are different, but for me, it was really peaceful. I experienced similar things to Eben. I could hear everyone around me (I was only under 3 days), although there were some gaps. I used to be deathly afraid of going into a coma, but if it is anything like me, you will be okay
I've had a coma and it was really peaceful. It's nothing to be scared of and honestly made me not fear death.
:0 I guess it just seems scary since I've never experienced it- the closest thing is when I slept for almost a whole day 😅
Add it to the list of fears.. I think I'm at 150 something?
I had that happen to me. Everyone's experience is different though
This episode made me want an “the world of living with addiction/alcoholism”. It’s classified as a disease and it goes much deeper than not being able to put down a drink or drug and it’s not talked about enough. There needs to be a bigger discussion of what it means to be an addict/ Alcoholic.
This needs more likes. I would love to see this.
Agreed! Anthony should do this!
yes please
Agreed I’m actually 5 years sober today. I’d like to see more awareness of it since we almost glorify/joke about drinking so much in society, but not the reality and darkness of it.
Agreed, i work as a recovery coordinator for addicts and this would reduce the stigma and enable people to seek help! Well done everyone on their recovery!
I'd love to see "I spend a day with NDE (Near Death Experiences) Survivors from Hell" So unlike Eben's beautiful heavenly experience, you talk to those who had a terrible hell experience and came back
bruh, my dad was in a coma for like more than 15 days and he said he had so many dreams about parallel universes and horrific nightmares he even cries everytime he talks about it
parallel universes???
I spent 21 days in a coma, and it was constant nightmares. Your Dad had a similar experience that I did.
@@ik2476 im looking at these comments and it seems like a lot of them did
If Eben wasn’t a neurosurgeon before all this people probably just assumed he’s bullsh!ting.
He is. Either that or some sort of death hallucination. Those can occur after death, for some it’s just black for others it’s something like this guy described.
@@Alexa-so4jh “well the thing is Eben was brain dead so he couldn’t of had hallucinated, he has a video explaining it and going through his medical records”
he IS bullsh!ting or he was put under some heavy drug that made him hallucinate at some point when he regained a minimum of consciousness.
no i still think he's bullshiting

I understand where this is coming from I just want to include him too, he may have had a much less scarier experience then the other 2 but I just wanted to see his name on there I’m not too bothered and I really don’t like getting multiple comments it makes me uncomfortable but I’ve said what I needed to and my short opinion ig sorry for irritating anyone if I did.
Eben’s story is very comforting to me. i’m terrified of death so i’d like to think that what he experienced was more that just something that played in his head 🥺💗

As an occupational therapist who has worked with coma survivors, this has been incredibly eye-opening! I’ve done the poking and sternal rubs Julia mentioned and each time I did, I’d feel so bad. It’s incredible hearing it from the other side of the recovery journey so thank you for sharing this!
I’m hoping to go to school as an OT, so this is super cool to see ahead of time
@@alyssalincoln5159 good luck! :))
Hey thank you for sharing this. I'd like to know, so when do you attempt to wake them up and start poking them? Is it everyday to see if they'd wake up or after a medication is lowered or?
@@VoVina111 I think it depends. In medically induced coma, waking a patient up is a decision made by the doctors because it's not just about waking them up. If the person is intubated, you have to make sure that they can breathe on their own. In my experience, they wake people slowly and it can take time. They check that the person can support their own vital function before waking them fully. And usually, the family is told that they don't know how the person is going to come back, as they can't evaluate how cognitive functions were affected by the accident/disease/coma.
(My experience : many hours spent in the hospital with family/friends in comas)
I thought Eben's testimony was amazing and actually encouraged friends to listen to his story, but I've been made aware that his medical career was full of malpractice and he is notorious for being a bad historian. Even his own doctors say that the procedure he underwent is different to the story he tells. It's unfortunate and I think Eben probably did experience something phenomenal.... But I wish I'd done research about him sooner so I could see how much I could actually believe anything he says.
Some people in the comments/replys are saying that what Eben says on the interview is fabricated. The commenters also say that Eben wrote a book about the whole experience and it was totally different from what Eben said in the interview.
I've been in a coma for about 2-3 weeks if you want to know more 😊
Sounds like a bunch of bs to me

Imagine being a blind person in a coma and seeing hallucinations of things you haven’t seen before or in a long time.
I read a study a few weeks ago about near death experiences and out of body experiences of people that have been blind since birth. There are blind people who have seen things for the first time ever during these experiences, it's incredibly fascinating to read about.

My grandma was in a coma for 14 days with covid right before the pandemic, we didn’t know it was covid at the time but it was so scary and sad. My grandma raised me as a child so it was like losing my mother. The doctors tell you they might wake up but they can’t really tell the brain function until they wake up. But she spent 6 months in rehabilitation learning to use her voice again, every muscle that existed in her body, and it was so traumatic for her. But I’m so so so beyond grateful we didn’t lose her.
"I spent a day with people with Depersonalization Derealization Disorder" could be very useful in helping spread awareness of the disorder.
yes!! not many people are educated on the disorder and it would be great to spread awareness about it
ive never heard of it. can someone elaborate?
@@gabywabyfofaby it basically feels like you're watching a movie, that's actually your life.
@@gabywabyfofaby Depersonalization and Derealization are two different things that happen (usually when triggered, but can happen randomly) when you have the disorder. Depersonalization is the feeling of detachment from yourself, and the feeling you don't control yourself, you can some times have the experience of feeling as if you are watching yourself from afar, or inside your body but with the feeling you have no control of it, even though you do. Sometimes when looking in a mirror you may not accept that what you see in the mirror (yourself) is real and that you don't remember looking like what you see, even though it is you. You may not be aware that you are able to talk until you start talking, but you may also feel like you didn't start talking because of the feeling you can control yourself and that you are not real. You feel like a robot, you feel like you can't control what you are doing.
Derealization is the detachment from the world, you may feel real, but the world around you feels artificial, people don't even seem real, you feel like you are trapped in a bubble, because of that sounds may be slightly drowned out, another example is feeling like there is a fog or veil between you and reality, sometimes people see a lack of vividness and emotional color, they may have familiar places feel alien and bizarre, sometimes it is described as viewing the world through a TV screen. Fake but there.
DPRD (Depersonalization Derealization Disorder) is very common with interpersonal abuse, E.g. Childhood abuse, mainly focusing on domestic neglect, abandonment, and childhood emotional abuse. Only about two percent (2%) of people are diagnosed with the disorder, though 50% may have experienced a symptom once before due to intense stress.
Yes! I just recently heard of this and have been wanting to be more educated in the matter

What Eben describes is a bit like what my mum described to me when her heart stopped beating during an operation. First, she says, it was like an out of body experience and she actually saw the doctors trying to revive her and then she recalls walking through a sunlit valley and then a voice telling her it was not her time yet at which point the doctors got her heart back online.

i completely agree, i havent not watched any of his videos, theyre all really entertaining :D
As a little kid, I had life-threatening measles and was put in an induced coma. Many days later I began to wake up but was alone and in the middle of the night. I was so sick that no one knew. The next night it happened again. It was so intensely lonely that I still occasionally have nightmares about it. I still remember the nurse coming in when I was awake. She was very kind but had to do all the nurse things and then leave. I knew that it really bothered her to go.
Sorry that you were alone.
I was in a coma for 8 days and all I remember is nothing, I was hospitalized for 2 months and I had to re-grow up from the mental age of 2. I couldn't even use a spoon, I was so proud when I did lol. it was the worst experience I've ever had. Ever since then.... people tell me I'm different and I still have brain damage which will be permanent, I forget things a lot, even if it happened 2 min before. i dont know a lot of my family members and I get looks like I'm crazy.
Hope everything goes better for you. ❤
you're strong and brave, so so proud. people just don't understand the will power this takes.
I don't know you but I'm so proud of you. ❤️
i’m so utterly proud of you!!😺🥰🥺💞
You’re not crazy. It’s not your fault your brain is different now.
I can't imagine how it feels to have someone close to you be in a coma because if they dont wake up someone would have to decide how long their loved one would be in a coma before they would let them go
My husband told me if he ever got into a coma he wants me to pull the plug, I don't know if I am willing to do that.
I would never let them go damn
My father was in a coma after a motorcycle accident and was announced brain dead, only breathing from machines. In his will he stated he would only want to be in a coma (vegetative state) for 2 weeks - no more - if pronounced brain dead. He made the decision himself, so it wouldn't be placed on my Mother or other family members. After my family and I went through that we all had living wills written for what we would want to happen if put in coma, like my father, so no one would be put in the position of having to make the decision.
My dad was in a coma for over a year, he was never brain dead so there was hope that he would recover. Eventually his organs started to shut down so we had to let him go.

I read Eben’s book, it was very fascinating.
I’ve never been in a coma, but I can relate to what Frank said about near death experiences and suicidal ideation. I have chronic pain and it made me feel suicidal in the early years of it. Then one day I had a car accident where my car flipped and I walked away without a scratch (no one was hurt). And I’ve never returned to that place of ideation in the same way since, because in the second the accident happened, I clearly thought, ‘I’m not ready to end life.’
“I spent a day with people with Scoliosis” as someone who struggled with Scoliosis and had to get back surgery, there is a weird lack of information about it. I felt very alone about my experience, despite it being something quite common.
I had to get back surgery for scoliosis too
@Kayla Jastrzebski I have had the metal rods and fusion, the recovery was hard but magnetic rods are so much better than normal ones, if you get normal ones, you need to get surgery every 6 months I think, the magnetic ones work by putting a machine that just lays on your back and it makes the rods go longer, no pain with it and it takes like 5 minutes and it happens once a month.
i have scoliosis and osteoporosis, shits hard asf!! i feel insecure qnd have to latwr clothes n i understand ur pain
@Kayla Jastrzebski okay my bad i wasn’t aware of your comments hehe and ofc i dont mind talking about it at al!oh yeah i had the spine fusion surgery back in january 2020, metal rods and everything. and im still very much in recovery especially with the covid lockdowns, i had to delay physical therapy and it’s been hectic ever since. and the pain sadly remained. my back muscle are practically nonexistent, since i don’t exercise at all lmao, so the pain has been... awful. and that’s one of the things that people don’t talk about as much as well. muscle recovery ig. as for the surgery, i cant really measure the pain since im a bit biased if you will lmao. i just so happened to get my period at the same time. so i was recovering from the surgery and all that and then there was my period and the back pain that comes along with it. but for me i think the hardest part was recovery. ofc the surgery hurts, and having to walk for the first time was god awful. i was also very scared of doing the wrong movement at the wrong angle and setting a screw loose or something 💀. But looking back at now, i thankfully don’t remember the pain all that much. it’s more of the things that i had to struggle with afterwards like the right positions to sleep in ig, and things like that. oh showering without getting the wound infected that was a big thing that i wish more people on the internet talked about. and sadly in my country, and school, scoliosis is something that is almost never talked about. which made me really really angry since it’s more common in adolescence. not to mention all the stories i started here from friends and families about people who also had scoliosis, but i only heard them AFTER surgery. i just wish it was more genuinely talked about.
I had spinal fusion in 2012 (when i was 11), I was also so afraid to afraid to walk. I don't remember the pain at all tbh. If anyone is afraid to get surgery in the future, its not as scary as it seems. Truth be told I always forget I even had the surgery, nothing in my daily life has been effected at all. The only thing I cant do is get on trampolines (trampolines arent gonna mess up the surgery, spine doctors just hate it because a large portion of adolescent spinal injuries come from trampolines. I still get on them tho.) Also back and stomach tattoos/piercing's are out of the question, but other than that nothing about your daily life will be changed after recovery - which lasts around 3-6 months.
Julia's "a coma?" had HIGH "Davinci?" energy
Da vinki?
I was in an induced coma for ten days last December. I had so many dreams(for lack of a better term), it felt like months. I am still recovering and I may never be the same as I was before the coma. It's very frustrating. I wish there were more resources for people in my situation. I can find lots for people that had a traumatic brain injury, but not many for people that were put into an induced coma. And since it wasn't from covid (I had a really severe case of RSV), I feel like I'm the odd woman out.
