This is so sad. To be constantly in pain and to not be believed because there is no physical indicators. I’m super lucky not to have those things and I’m so sorry for all of you who suffers daily

@Allison_Leigh 6 лет назад

Thank you. 👍🏻

@ashleymiller7600 6 лет назад

Thank you!! It means a lot to us. It's super frustrating when people don't fully believe or give sympathy for your pain just because they don't see it effecting you.

@JezdamayelCaster 6 лет назад

You are so kind. Being sick and not looking sick is very hard. Hugs to you!!

@hebamahmoud3801 6 лет назад

ika lamb Thank you so much ❤ people just don't understand and believe us. Thank you for understanding and supporting us.

@rayax2805 6 лет назад

Thank you.. it sounds so stupid but telling someone that who goes thru all this, could help them so much! I’ve had one doctor believe me and I cried when she said she did. No one understands my illness (it has very weird symptoms- I’ll be honest) but even after getting a diagnosis from the Mayo Clinic I still wasn’t believed. So thank you ❤️

@sharonzona4346 6 лет назад

This series has been fascinating to watch because l have chronic pain too. I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired. I truly hope that this treatment works for you, but more importantly, that it CONTINUES to improve your quality of life. 💖

@yellowrubberducky12 6 лет назад

sharon zona I’m totally in the same boat. I have fibromyalgia, amongst a few things, and if these lasers work, I want them all.

@JezdamayelCaster 6 лет назад

I too am a Fibro girl.I am sick of being sick and sick of not feeling like myself. I love watching this as well! Never hurts to try right?

@savannahhachey2897 6 лет назад

sharon zona Preach girl. As a sufferer of chronic pain it’s really wonderful to see people trying and receiving different treatments. I do so hope this helps these ladies, and I do so hope that you too get to feel pain free again someday!

I can’t believe Kelsey couldn’t sue that doctor, it’s obviously his fault that she is constantly be in pain and somehow he isn’t being held responsible

@SweetLikeHoneyDew 6 лет назад

@agghhhhhh_ 6 лет назад

I didn't understand that part. Can we someone tell me what surger?

@oliviawyatt3860 6 лет назад

Arya A it explains, in the video I try marijuana for my chronic pain. I think Its on buzfeedblue.

@Takenjayyy 6 лет назад

In the video, she said that she couldn’t sue because of the statute of limitations. In another video, she goes into detail of how this particular doctor botched a surgery to correct her jaw or something... she kept coming back saying she was in pain but told her to wait 3, 6, 12 months to see if it’d heal. Basically, he was stalling for the statute of limitations to pass. Kelsey finally saw another doctor and said that the previous doctor performed a surgery so outdated that it should have never even been brought up.

@thsone 5 лет назад

Umm. For real?.... class 3b-4 lasers stimulates the mitochondria to create atp. Which atp= energy which is used in various functions such as regeneration.... but it's not a one time treatment that will work immediately.... some of these ppl in this vid seem fake, such as one girl who said, this feels great... u dnt feel it. Cold lazer therapy gives off no heat... anyway, when i worked in a Veterinary clinic, the 1st time I learned about cold laser therapy, our patient was an arthrtic German shepard who could barely walk anymore even with the arthritis sumplements... after 2-3 months of lazer tx.... this patient had full motility again and even runs sometimes.... it's proof in my eyes that laser therapy is a breakthrough.

@ToudaHell 5 лет назад

@localcaitortot 6 лет назад

I've tried this in the past. My healer didn't have such fancy equipment but I recognize the vials of "toxins" immediately. After purchasing several hundred dollars worth of supplements, I finally figured out the parlor trick used for toxin identification. You can kind of see in these videos that the woman is using a different direction and type of pressure pushing their arms down for the "toxins" that she believes are causing these illnesses. I don't have experience with the lasers, but they put me off immediately with the vials. These clinics are selling hope to people; that hope is what heals patients and changes the power the symptoms have over patients. Please be careful spending money on stuff like this. Be safe. Take care of yourselves. I want Kelsey and Lara to get better so much but more than that I don't want them to be taken advantage of.

@astrangeone 5 лет назад

This sounds like bs. Like the TCM (traditional chinese medicine) thing too - pushing on hands and causing pain. It's a placebo effect, I think.

This is probably one of the best series made so far. It feels so real and it’s opened my eyes. I never realized that people actually deal with things and look so “fine”. It’s amazing to watch this and learn about these things so if I ever meet someone who has this I can understand more of what’s going on

@brianabella115 6 лет назад

Luzaurora Echevarria Thank you so much for your kindness and compassion. Your willingness to feel and show empathy is exactly what the world needs (and especially those of us with debilitating chronic pain)

@TheHawkBubble 6 лет назад

Luzaurora Echevarria Speaking as someone who has TN like Kelsey it's honestly the worst pain on the world, it's like being sucker punched in the side of the face whilst having a red hot poker shoved under your skin and having someone rummage about with it, and I've also been in full blown labor, had a c-section, caught a flesh eating infection from the section and has parts of my tummy removed, as painful as all that was TN is by far the worse 😔 some people call it the suicide disease, and the only treatment I've found that works is a product called Volterol, even if an attack is happeneing it takes it away within minutes. I hope people with TN at least try to use it, I've not been on medication for TN for 2 years because of using it.

@rayax2805 6 лет назад

Luzaurora Echevarria that would mean a lot to them, I promise you!

@FIBROMOM 6 лет назад

Reaching out to others that are chronically ill, I've heard some awful stories like husbands calling their wives lazy and their faking it. My heart really goes out to them along with the single mom and dads that are sick. I met my husband young (14) 4 years before becoming ill. He's my rock and everyone deserves that💗

@melissadawn5037 6 лет назад

FIBRO MOM I got called drama queen by my ex & his family when I had to lay down instead of going out. The worst was when one of my vertebrae was crushed, no one believed I was in more pain than usual. I had to drive myself to the emergency room, the staff freaked out, called the cops worried about domestic violence.

@jesseberry7521 6 лет назад

FIBRO MOM that's me and the worst thing is I think I may be dealing with depression or aspergers with sensory processing disorder and a bunch of other invisible illnesses and I get no support from any one of his family or my "support workers" who are trying to claim I'm not listening but I am listening I just only pick up on one task at a time as I'm currently going through a lot

@FIBROMOM 6 лет назад

melissa dawn I'm sorry Melissa.. You didn't ask for this baggage but here you are fighting it each and every day.. If you ever need a friend, I'm here girl.

@FIBROMOM 6 лет назад

Jessica Berry Oh Jessica, if tables were turned then they'd get it but if they would at least hear to listen rather than respond, you'd be getting more out of it. When your dealing with sensory overload, it effects you physically too.. Nothing gets done because your mind is like a freight train and your drained. I recently made a video about this to spread awareness but your right, another one of the many "invisible" Illnesses that so many are quick to judge 💗hugs

@ashleymiller7600 6 лет назад

I also starting dating my man before becoming ill and he has been so kind and understanding towards what I'm going through. He has never once made me feel guilty for not being able to be Intimate. I am so grateful for him and his support.

@VixenVilleInge 6 лет назад

As a psychologist, I'm obviously all for cognitive behavioral therapy and do think it would be helpful in at least helping to deal with the pain. I'm wondering if this woman is qualified to be undertaking that sort of therapy though. I do believe in the use of laser therapy for certain things, but this didn't really seem legit to me...maybe in dealing with skin issues, but I have a hard time believing it'd be very helpful for issues with the central nervous system or internal organs. I'm curious to see if it actually works or if they just have some placebo effects due to wanting to believe it worked. I feel so bad for the pain you girls and everyone who goes through this has to endure. I really hope you find some solution... no one should be in pain every single day.

not buying it. "toxins", "frequencies" I mean come on

@reneemckinnon5731 5 лет назад

I believe that toxins make chronic pain worse as I have Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and chronic pain. If I'm exposed to a toxin/chemical I'm sensitive to, my whole body aches even worse, I can barely breathe because my sinuses get all stuffed up and I feel like I'm dying. I don't believe in the "frequencies or "treatment" she's giving though, it just doesn't seem possible for this to work.

@CraftyWitch1990 3 года назад

@@reneemckinnon5731 agree. My pain gets worse if i eat certain foods, drink certain drinks etc. Therefore those foods and drinks are acting as toxins and poisoning me otherwise my body wouldn't react the way it does.

@CarinaLoya 6 лет назад

It’s NOT Bs. I suffered for 16 years with chronic pain. Was bed ridden from age 20-24. Went through 10 years of western doctors surgeries and treatments only to end up worse then when it all began. I tried everything under the sun and nothing worked until I found Carmen Care in Boca. Around 3 months after my first few weeks of lasers and detoxes I was starting to feel more like a normal person, something I forgot what it felt like. It DOES work and there are hundreds and hundreds of other patients who have had their lives changed by Carmen Care Laser Therapies after everything else failed them.

@phrog2228 6 лет назад

Carina Loya if you don’t mind me asking, what was your chronic illness? I’m in the same boat.. been sick for almost 3 years and bed ridden most of it. So it’s not as long as you had, but no one knows how to help.. I can’t even find a doctor willing to see me just for help like if I got strep! They see “gastroparesis” and run away...

@Until-When 6 лет назад

Toxins? Frequencies? This is all pure B.S. . How is this legal medicine? Your body knows how to to get rid of toxins, that is what your liver and kidneys are for, neither of which these girls have an issue with. "Water frequencies" can be found in greater amounts in your tap water. If the placebo helps, then it would be great for them.

@zacharysavage3286 6 лет назад

untilwhen username they tried A bunch of treatments and none of them work but this is showing progress. Kelsey’s chin no longer burns ( which she says always does) and the other girl inserted it for 20 minutes. When she says even a touch is to much pain. So maybe it doesn’t make sense to us but make sense to our body’s

@whatifmynamewasgraham 6 лет назад

yes the liver and the kidneys get rid of toxins but sometimes they can get overloaded with the amount in your body and also that’s only if they’re in a place where they can be processed and aren’t living in your body. Do you have chronic pain or a chronic illness?

@Until-When 6 лет назад

Iheartweasleysforevr While that is true, neither of these girls are changing their diets or doing anything to help their liver or kidney functions. That's what dialysis is made for.

@whatifmynamewasgraham 6 лет назад

untilwhen username oh yeah, no i think that the detox part of this is kinda pseudo because they aren’t on any supplements and nothing apart from the lasers is supposedly helping them flush the toxins away. I just wanted to make sure you knew that it’s not as simple as you said.

I have 2 chronic lower back pain conditions, Lumbar Spinal Stenosis and Degenerative Disc Disease in my lower back and Osteoarthritis in both of my knees and in my hips. I know what other people with chronic pain conditions go through. I can't sleep most nights because of my chronic pain so I binge watch your videos. Binge watching your videos helps me get through the sleepless nights and helps me forget about my pain. Thank you for making your videos, I really appreciate it.

@emmapearson1950 6 лет назад

As someone who also suffers from chronic pain and has never really been able to put into words the emotions that come with it, Kelsey saying "I remember being happier an that makes me sad" actually brought me to tears.

I rarely comment but I couldn't pass this by. Fellow chronic pain sufferer here, also homebound and unable to work. I've been with my significant other for 13 years now. What your husband said was horrible and you deserve better. You deserve unconditional love. If you're not in individual therapy I highly recommend it, find out more about yourself, learn to love yourself. You are worth it. You are beautiful. You deserve happiness and a supportive husband and whatever else you dream to do. I spent years in bed, had surgeries to help some of my issues and fought so damn hard to "recover." I was able to have my miracle baby, I found ways to be able to take care of him without assistance. I'm living my life, while living with chronic pain. I truly hope you can do the same. Believing in yourself first and also having a partner who believes in and supports you. That's an amazing thing. Don't settle for less, you are not a burden.

It's frustrating because it's an invisible illness and I look "fine" so many people just think im faking or just being a baby about it.

@IAmNotYourProblem 6 лет назад

Kung-Fu Kenny Family I'm 19 and I've been in chronic pain for about a year now. Slowly but surely getting worse, but it lapses and I'll have a few good months then a few terrible months. My doctor has mentioned Fibromyalgia multiple times, but refuses to diagnose me yet, because it's not something that can be tested. He keeps saying that I'm just sleeping wrong and that's why I'm getting pain in my shoulders, neck, upper back, and hips. But I know my body and I know this isn't a bad nights sleep type of thing. All my symptoms fit with fibromyalgia. How did you convince your doctor to take you seriously? I've seen 4 different doctors, and all of them assume I'm lying or I'm over exaggerating.

@solospiritgirl7886 6 лет назад

As someone who has had chronic pain for 11 years I am so pleased to see that there is hope out there. It's important to remember if you are in pain you are never alone - someone else in the world is suffering the same as you and I know I could empathise a lot with the girls! Great series so far! xx

@mamajinx914 5 лет назад

I found this last night while I was in a bad pain flare up. I have issues with my lower back/hips and sciatica. And I just cried so much from realizing that people feel the same way physically AND mentally. Lara’s explanations about how it takes a toll on herself when she’s with friends is me to a T and I feel so validated 😭

@regalkammerlocher6162 6 лет назад

You know what? I'm all for this if it makes someone feel any better. I feel so lucky that I do not have chronic pain. I know quite a few people that do in my family. I just hope that one day these people can get through a whole day sometime.

I'm the same. I have days where I have such a bad migraine I'm vomiting and cant move in any way. I have tried every single treatment there is except botox. I'm in the process of getting botox though. The only thing that has helped is marijuana, but only on light days. It sucks. I'm sorry you're going through it too.

@MsMaxi901 6 лет назад

laura7456 I actually don’t have the vomiting but I do feel very nauseous. And ridiculously dizzy. What kind of treatments have you tried if I may ask?

@laura7456 6 лет назад

different prescriptions, chiropractors, massage, physiotherapy, biofeedback, meditation, aromatherapy, change of diet, etc.

My wife has a terrible life in pain at the moment and last 3 years ... we have been together for 24 yrs and have 7 children together...... in her career and I myself am struggling mentally. Seeing your partner and best friend go from an outgoing life of the party mentality to someone who has nothing to talk about but the pain shes in ...... there seems to be no help for me out there or know one to talk to about our situation ..... am I selfish for thinking about my self and how I dread speaking to her because I know within 30seconds we will be talking about pain ( I love my wife with all my soul and would never hurt her or jeppidise my life with her ) .... I know this message might not make sense to you reading this but someone out there will understand ... I dont know ......................

♥ShadowKat♥ - Because they've already done multiple other videos where they tried different treatments that didn't work. It spreads awareness and documents their story even without guaranteed results.

@lilystanleylowe 6 лет назад

♥ShadowKat♥ The series is about living with pain, and that includes trying things that don't work. When you live with chronic pain, the reality is you throw a lot of money out the window trying things. There's nothing for either of these conditions that is 100% effective for 100% of sufferers, and you go into it hoping, yet knowing the odds are stacked against you. Ultimately this is about the journey, not a cure.

@raena-willowdeveruoix4631 6 лет назад

.... I work in a vet clinic and we have a laser, that first one when they were laying down doing the diagnosis thingy... we have that and we often use if on ourselves..... and that's... not...how.... it....works..... It stimulates blood flow and white blood cells to the warm area b/c lazer duh, the more white blood cells+ warmth is theraputic and a few sessions after a trauma can help it feel/ look better quicker, bruising and swelling go down and are less sensitive, I don't think it makes the wounds patch up faster necessarily..... not that I have physically witnessed on my self

Emma Mustin please don't try this specific treatment. It is very very pseudo-sciency - her explanation of how it works makes no sense from a scientific viewpoint.

@rayax2805 6 лет назад

Kimberly Brouwers someone in the comments says it does help temporarily but it brings back hope for the patient which for most with chronic pain is long gone. So it might be worth it depending on the costs.

@brittanydavenport8702 6 лет назад

Yeah, as someone with chronic pain, I wouldn't pay any amount of money for this. There doesn't seem to be any science behind it. Where's the research? I don't remember her name, but the girl with endo said her first treatment that she goes to is never surgery. Surgery (not a hysterectomy but surgery to cut out endo that has grown) IS 100% a very valid treatment for endo. It can and does come back a lot, but it also may not come back. This really seems like bologna to me. This seems like pseudoscience.

@megandowns7361 6 лет назад

No surgery is 100% and her case might be more complicated than we an understand/see. There is obviously a reason that she doesn't want it. It's her choice :)

I broke three of my ribs in a car accident about a year ago and the doctor said the pain will never fully go away. It's hard to exercise, twist my body, but the worst it sleeping. It's hard because I don't want other people to go through chronic pain like I do but it's also nice knowing I'm not alone. Great series.

She would always say how there's no relief and how she can't do normal things and seeing her finally get that is so heartwarming and beautiful. I really truly hope that this worked long term for them.

@MagicalKim27 6 лет назад

Crying my eyes out at this. Both because I feel so sad that they have to go through it (even though they say they don't want pity - they shouldn't have to deal with it) but also because I empathise. I have chronic pain and I know how it feels to be simultaneously overcome and unable to "keep up" with your partner or friends, but still not want to complain or be a burden to them. So you either struggle through, or miss out altogether. It's crap.

Really felt that when Lara spoke about not wanting to eat out and all the memes about girls who only eat salads. I have massive dietary restrictions and can’t really eat anything without getting extremely ill and in pain. (Currently why I’m lying in bed watching this lol) I wish people could be more understanding about other people’s eating habits/restrictions. It sucks when other people comment on how little I’m eating and make a big deal about it.

As someone with trigeminal neuralgia, which took an entire year to diagnose, I just want to thank buzzfeed and Kelsey for spreading awareness about this. It is something that I have struggled with for a while with doctors that weren’t aware of the diagnosis always asking “are you sure? What tests have you done? Who diagnosed you?” Even when I’m sobbing at 4 in the morning in the hospital after being there under observation for hours when the nerve blockers I’m on just don’t quite do enough. So thank you for speaking about this and spreading awareness
