Morning Routine with Chronic illnesses | Day In The Life 

How I get ready on better days 😊 even on ‘good’ days, I’m not usually able to sit up until the afternoon 🙈 So, this shows how I get ready on ‘better’ days, it just doesn’t happen until much, much later in the day!

It take me between 1 to 2h to be able to stand up after waking up, people are always shocks I tell them. Thanks pots xD

I need to get myself a drawer like that. I always forget where I put things thanks to brain fog, so having evrrything close to my bed might help me when I need it! Great video!

Thank you for sharing all this.. It’s hard to describe to people the impact EDS & POTS can have on your life ❤️🌸

Genius idea to keep hand wipes and skincare in your bedside table! And thank you for normalizing what morning look like for people with chronic illness. I have POTS and hEDS too, and this means a lot to me. ❤

It’s Interesting to see other people deal with their illnesses because I deal will chronic fatigue syndrome or ME and POTS it’s very hard but to everyone who has a illness stay strong and never give up 🤍

This was so well done and so interesting to see how we all cope with mornings I might have to do an updated one of these soon xx

Intro felt like a movie, great cinematography!!

Prayers for you! I have Eds, pots and all the crud that comes with it. Thank you for being transparent and showing what many without chronic illnesses don’t see or understand. Hugs

You are such a beautiful and inspiring person!! Thank you for sharing with us!! Hope your day is a great one!!

Thank you for sharing Georgina, enjoyed watching. 👋(likes). Oh, I have to say I did spot the sign saying life begins at 140 bpm, excellent. All the best.

Thanks for sharing this! This is a great place to raise awareness. I’m a TV news reporter and cover heath stories, and this was told so well! I recently uploaded my day to day with reporting stories from home. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you. It’s interesting to see how many similarities ..

the part when you filmed your screen while making a to-do list looked soo cool and professional!!

Your magic drawer has inspired me! I'm wanting to redo the bedroom my husband and I share, but organize my side in such a way that allows access to my tons of medical junk. Thank you for sharing - I'm only 3 minutes into the video and I'm actually excited about the possibilities instead of dreading the challenge!

yas your happy news finally arrived!!

Loved It!

Great video and love your new haircut!😊

You earned yourself a new subs. I am a fellow chronic illness Warrior but different illness. I am going to reorganise my bedside table after this video. Thanks for the inspiration

I have hypermobility (i meet the criteria for EDS and know i have it but my doc refuses to diagnose me lol), dysautonomia, and a whole bunch of other things. Good luck to you 💪🏻

Just subscribed!! Ive NEVER met another person with CVS i use to think so low of myself. You having it as well was jus wow i needed this. Stay strong!❤

Great video Georgie! xxxxxxxxxxx

You're adorable...you reminded me of Stella💞

Thank you for sharing your morning routine, I also have hEDS, PoTs, MCAS, CFS, rheumatoid arthritis and so many more bits and bobs lol to many to list as I’m sure you know and understand lol, I’ve been wondering about your hand/thumb splints and I was wondering if you brought them or got them through orthotics? If you brought them could you kindly let me know where from please as I’ve spent a fortune on buying ones that just don’t help at all and they really look perfect for my thumb/ wrist area where I get most of my hand problems, take care and hope you have an ok as possible day x

Well done!

yas the pink chair shoutout!!

yas the this is us shoutout!!

Looks like my bedside table drawer except so much more organized 😂 you open mine up and it’s just pill bottles upon pill bottles (im on 7 meds plus a bunch of supplements) and I have to go through them every time to find the right one haha. The midodrine is always right at the forefront tho bc I take it so often. My POTS is also the WORST in the morning and by bedtime I almost feel like a normal person which is super frustrating. Anyways I love your content, Ive been out of school for a year due to how bad my POTS deteriorated, and youre super inspiring in that I can be a more functional (and maybe one day organized LOL) person one day ❤️

My dad actually took my blind off and put it on backwards for me so I could reach to lower/ raise it from bed. Such a small thing but it has made a world of difference especially for those bed- bound days. Thank you for your videos, they help me so much x

Great video! I can totally agree with 1. consciousness, 2, body scan to see if it’s safe to move, and 3, immediately takes medication and waits for it to kick in! (I don’t always remember to go to the toilet though... oops!)

Hi Georgina! We finally got our channel up and posted our second video today. It's not the best but we tried and we should get better over time. It's a Day with Chronic Illness (Brain Fogging hard) Oh! and you have to watch to the end (end screen) to see who we suggested there today. 😉

Cool

I love that you watch the Kitten Lady too! I also learned sign language (ASL for me) how do you like it? Are you able to do it without too much pain?

I have a rolling cart next to my bed. It has rolls because when I got it I still had many days I could spend on the sofa. Currently I'm with my mom because I need too much help and she's pretty annoyed because I need so much stuff around the bed. We're both looking forward to our new flat together with a room for each so I don't take up all her personal space. I keep my daily medication, as needed medication (which is a lot due to the sheer amount of different disorders, PTSD skills items, crafts that can be done in bed and anything I need several times a week in that card plus some hanging storage at the side of my bed. It's nice to see others have such setups and do their morning routines in bed too though I wish you didn't have to

💙

You look beautiful today, I hope you are feeling well! I totally need to get some sort of wrist and thumb guard as they sublex and cause me pain. It’s rather annoying too! Hope you have a good weekend xo💖

Loved this video Georgina! ✨💓

Another great video. Well done! By the way the audio isnt to bad

I love that you have a sick bowl next to you, because it makes me feel better about having one too. Except I bought a specific cute blue one for a sicky bucket haha xx

I also have POTS so I can relate to a lot of what you said.

About The Buteyko Method: A Summary of the Pathophysiology of Chronic Hyperventilation by Ira Packman, M.D. The fact that chronic hyperventilation (CHV) has an effect on the lungs is easily understood and explained. The systemic (whole body) effects however, are physically and physiologically distant from the lungs and therefore are more difficult to understand. The multi-system, wide spread systemic ramifications of chronic hyperventilation are numerous. These effects are all caused by the initial effect of pulmonary hypocapnia (low CO2) which causes spasm of the airways leading to asthma. The loss of CO2 from the lung on a long term basis causes a compensatory response throughout the body. This concept is called homeostasis which means that the body is always trying to stay in balance and return to its most comfortable state. A partial list of homeostatic controls would include: - Constant body temperature - Constant whole body water volume - Glucose levels - Mineral balance including sodium, potassium, magnesium, zinc etc. - Acid base balance (Ph control) The acid base/Ph control mechanisms are very sensitive and closely controlled, because the Ph of the body affects the function of every body system. It is this system that is activated when patients chronically hyperventilate. Understanding this concept, we can follow what happens with CHV. - The lungs continuously blow off too much CO2 causing local pulmonary hypocapnia (low CO2) and arterial hypocapnia. - The arterial hypocapnia immediately changes the Ph of the circulating blood causing an increase in the Ph (alkalosis). - The increase in the Ph causes a decrease in the delivery of Oxygen to all the bodies tissues due to the Bohr Effect (In an alkalotic environment, the hemoglobin molecules in the red cells hold onto the oxygen molecules more tightly and will not release the O2 to the tissues). - The kidneys see the alkalosis/Ph change and know that it must correct the bodies Ph back towards neutral (neutral Ph is a Ph of 7.40). Once CHV becomes long standing the kidneys response becomes an ongoing process in which the kidneys excrete bicarbonate in an attempt to correct the alkalosis which was created by the CHV. - The net result is a depletion of the bicarbonate buffers due to continuous over excretion of bicarbonate which also causes the loss of electrolytes including magnesium and phosphorous which are lost with the bicarbonate. - The loss of phosphorous also decreases the production of ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate) and ADP which are the bodies’ main source of energy. - This then causes a decrease in the functioning of many organs including the muscles, heart, lungs, bone marrow, immune system and liver. - These functional changes, coupled with the arterial spasm that occurs directly due to the low CO2 levels in the blood, are expressed in the long term as muscle fatigue, hypertension due to arterial spasm, decrease in the oxygenation of the brain, migraine headaches due to arterial spasm, spasm of the arteries supplying the gut, decrease brain function with memory changes, alterations in the production of proteins and metabolism of lipids in the liver causing elevated cholesterol. This is just a partial list of the systems, organs and bodily functions which are affected by CHV and the subsequent low CO2 levels in the lungs and blood. This concept regarding the origins and causes of these diseases is very radically different from the way medical schools teach about these diseases. It is revolutionary and may be too simple for many academicians to accept or understand.

The toast looks good :)

I just found out that i have Chronic fatigue syndrome , i feel horrible, is there any way to get better? Please help me.. I tried alot but i couldn’t change any of my habit because i was feeling tired after everything. Is there any way to get normal?

What do you tend to diffuse? - do you find any oils help with POTs and EDS? or any that make it worse?

i hope you've enjoyed all my yas's!!

Where did you get your thumb brace?

I won't ever forget this hvs2 situation through Dr ado he make me great

For more information about the Buteyko method you can read the following 2 articles: - Kazarinov V.A. (1990) "The biochemical basis of KP Buteyko's theory of the diseases of deep respiration" - V.K. Buteyko, M.M. Buteyko (2005) “The Buteyko theory about a key role of breathing for human health: scientific introduction to the Buteyko therapy for experts”

hello .i have both m.e and fibromagyia..long list goes on,mark

I'm newly diagnosed with heds, fibro and chronic fatigue syndrome

i'm late here but super glad i found your channel🥺♥️ bless you for sharing this. i have a lot of the same illnesses that you mentioned, and you helped me feel less alone. ps; what are your wrist/hand wraps called? the only ones i can find for the subluxing wrists are super clunky. thank you, i'm hoping for you♥️

Which company do you use to get things delivered to you?

What hand braces do you use?

You have EDS , POTS , and Fowlers syndrome yes ? Are you aware of that . I have all of this but u didn’t mention Fowlers , you need too look into that x

Reports from two conferences in Moscow and Krasnojarsk in 1988 (large variety of health problems) There were about 30 published reports (Buteyko method, 1992) of about 40 Russian medical doctors and health professionals, who met during two conferences in Moscow and Krasnojarsk in 1988 in order to share their practical experience of application of the Buteyko method in over 20 medical hospitals and clinics in Russia. The total reported number of treated people, according to the published conference proceedings (Buteyko, 1991), was over 3,000. Although most of them had respiratory (asthma, bronchitis, rhinitis, etc.) and cardiovascular (hypertension, angina pectoris, ischemia, etc.) problems, hundreds were treated or relieved from arthritis, osteoporosis, epilepsy, ulcers, gastritis, kidney stone problems, hepatitis, different infertility conditions, skin diseases (e.g., dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema), etc. Typical reported results were either some or essential improvement for over 90% patients, while remaining patients were not able to normalise their breathing parameters due to absence of desire or motivation and quitting the method during its initial stages. Thus, those patients who achieved large CPs significantly improved their health state. Normalization of breathing always leads to dissapperance of symptoms and no need for medication. Buteyko method. Its application in medical practice, ed. by K.P. Buteyko, 1991, 2nd edition, Titul, Odessa.

Anyone else sensitive to meds or cant take them due to sensitivities, also anyone been messed up bad tmj and mold? Dx,d so far with pots Ed's mast cell tmj severe and mold lots of sensitivities and migraines chronic pain little sleep issues

Great video - it can be hard for those without chronic illnesses to explain/describe the impact our illness(es) have on our lives. Thank you for sharing with us!

What if you can’t get up but you need to poop?!

Do you want to get a service dog>
