As a female who hasn't had much water today, as soon as you said "she doesn't drink enough water" I felt very called out and immediately drank half my water bottle. Glad Aki's doing better now, and is staying hydrated!
did the same thing too! knowing how my boyfriend gets a panic attack over anything bad that happens to me, im just gonna drink 4 times more water for the sake of his sanity too
I read this literally as he started saying it 😂 Been feeling slightly sick and shitty for over a week, just started drinking a lot more water yesterday and INSTANTLY started feeling better. Hold on let me go grab another bottle 🚰🏃🏽♀️💨
My acquaintance had a coworker who passed away because of her irregular habit for eating and hydrating so yeah, make sure you eat and hydrate yourself enough and do it regularly.
Friendly reminder that this is also why you shouldn't neglect or ignore teeth problems. If you have a cavity or a broken tooth, and its causing you a lot of pain, get it checked out. It rarely happens but even tooth infections can also lead to sepsis.
They absolutely can and it's what makes it even more ridiculous that in the U.S. dental care isn't included in regular health insurance. Plus so many people here (I'm in the U.S.) can't afford dental care.
Joey, this is crazy, my mum had the EXACT thing this week, but had an allergic reaction to the antibiotics and had to be hospitalised. I was terrified. She’s okay now, and I’m glad Aki is okay! ♥️♥️
That was actually what I thought he was going to say when he got to the part with the fever. I was assuming the GI issues right before that were from the antibiotics.
@@animefreakjex antibiotics quite commonly cause GI issues, as a side effect, and sometimes as a complication, by affecting your digestive flora. It's actually commonly recommended that a probiotic is taken with an antibiotic to mitigate this.
I don't know why this is the case, but sepsis seems to be coming up a lot suddenly. My mom died from it (among other afflictions) a week ago. Then yesterday sepsis was a topic in the news. Now Joey and you also mention it. Give your mom/loved ones some extra love. In the name of those that weren't as fortunate
I’m glad Aki is doing better and thankful it never developed into Sepsis. I’m recovering from Sepsis and Septic shock myself, and guys Joey isn’t lying it’s something that you definitely don’t want. Only took a week of flu like symptoms for me to be hospitalised, and less than 24hrs before I put myself into a coma. Ended up with multi organ failure, the doctors giving me a 30% chance to live. I’m forever grateful and fortunate to be here today. Been hospitalised since July 21st 2021 aged 23, I’m still recovering in a care home and awaiting surgery to amputate my feet, because of my body shutting down causing nerve damage. 2 years 5 months and still going strong. Please everyone if you feel like there’s something wrong, even if it’s something small, check if there’s a flu spike in your area, if there’s any bugs that are being spread and check with your family if there’s any hereditary problems. There isn’t much research in Sepsis so please be careful everyone 💚
I can't even imagine how difficult that experience was, and still is for you. I'm wishing you the strength to get through this and thank you for sharing your story.
Recovered last year from septic pneumonia. Had to be in the ICU for a bit. It was the most traumatic experience of my life. I didn’t think I’d live to see my next birthday. I’m a lot better now, but it took 2 months to feel like myself again. I had to have emergency surgery twice. Sepsis is no fucking joke. It’s really scary. I’m glad you’re recovering well! Live long and stay hydrated!
Holy shit, your story is so shocking to read but im happy things worked out for you even if you have to get some extra surgery. I just imagine that 30% was very low and that you are lucky.. best wishes to u and hoping ur surgery and recovery goes well
I'm glad Aki is improving. During winter 2021 I had laryngitis, a broken rib, a kidney infection and then Covid all in a row. I understand her pain right now. She's lucky to have such a lovely partner to help.
This along with the “Go Piss, Girl” and a cup of water per getting up habit makes me very very aware on how much got ingrained in me. I’m glad she feels better and for real, everyone, go piss and replace what you piss out!!
I surprised it’s happening to a woman in Japan because I’ve always found their public toilets are very good. But I have heard of it happening I places where women don’t want to be “caught short” while out in public because the women’s toilets are no-existent (ie use the guys’s toilets) or really unsafe or disgusting. So women don’t take the risk by drinking a lot of water :-(
To the women who read these comments, advice from someone who has had chronic bladder infections. 1. Stay hydrated. Drink AT LEAST 1.5litres a day. But more is definitely better. 2. Do not hold in your pee!!! 3. Make sure you pee it all out when you do so. If not it will go all the way back to the urinary tract. 4. Do not wash the inside of your vag with soap! It does that for you already! Only use water!! 5. If you feel like you do everything right but still get UTI's often, you should get it checked out by your doctor. You may have a narrowing of the urethra. It is not the most fun procedure but better than getting your bladder and kidneys messed up. 6. UTIS also is hereditary! If it's a common problen in your family than thats why you also have it often. Which is what caused my chronic UTI's. 7. Pee right after intercourse! It washes away all bacteria! I hope Aki will be okay!
Your urinary tract is different from your v*gina.(there are different holes) So I am not sure about the last one. I aleays though that advice was so you don't pee yourself by accident since squirting and peeing have a similar feel.
Sepsis is one of the scariest things I could imagine- my aunt died in her early 40s from it, hope Aki is getting all the relaxation she deserves after getting this scare!
Sepsis is one of the scariest things I've ever experienced in my life. After my 2nd neck surgery on my C2/C3, I ended up with a bad infection that turned into sepsis and almost killed me. I'm so so SO damn glad Aki is okay, and I hope you guys never have to experience that again brother. Love yall.
IM GLAD YOU'RE OKAY!!!!! Dude, C2 and C3 injuries are no fucking joke. You could have been dead if they messed your body up. I dont know what disease or disorder youvr had, but in glad youre okay.
@@Myrdrrr Thank you so much! I had a benign Giant Cell tumor wrap around and grow into my spine at my C2/C3. It essentially crushed my spine but because the tumor was grown into it, the spine actually held together pretty well. It took a combination of 8 surgerys at East Texas Medical Center in Tyler, Texas to put me back together but I'm alive and no nerve damage. Dr. Fry at Wadley Hospital in Texarkana, Texas came in after seeing my initial X-Ray and simply said "you should be dead right now". Which at at 19 is exactly what you wanna hear lmao.
My sister has put me through sepsis and only told me about the “secret” years after it happened. I still struggle with health due to that. I'm glad you're okay and do feel you.
I just watched Aki's video , I'm so glad she's ok now. I get kidney infections out of no where just like that. So I know she went through literal hell.
As a medical doctor, what you said is accurate and communicated well. The reason drinking water prevents UTIs and kidney infections comes from the idea that the regular flow of urine helps flush out bacteria that comes externally and ascends up the urinary tract.
I’ve never known anyone with kidney issues and so far this week I’ve heard of quite a few! I’m so glad she’s ok! It’s scary because all the symptoms are similar to like flu etc and it can go unknown. So glad you both were so quick to react and realize it 🥺💜 glad she’s recovering well 🥺
Glad that Aki's okay now. Hope you both take care of yourself. And ooof. Kidney Infections are horrible. Anything with pain in the Kidneys is *awful* (like Kidney Stones) Poor Aki :/ EDIT: And yes, Sepsis is super, super dangerous. So, SO glad she's okay.
I'm glad that Aki is okay! Yeah no dehydration and lack of water is scary. In my experience, when I was 14 I went to class late, my vision (not exaggerating) was like TV static. There were actual dark spots in my vision and I couldn't focus. Eventually I asked to go to the nurse's office. When walking down the hallway to the stairs, I would black out but somehow be moving still. I genuinely have no clue how I made it down the horrid middle school staircase nor to the office. Later I'd go to the doctor and find out the reason. Drink water! It's more important than you think.
Glad to hear she is doing better now. Yes, UTI is very common in females and despite all the precautions I took, I used to get it at least 2-3 times /year. I've had kidney infection from that as well. For any ladies who might be reading this, the one thing that has helped me is D-mannose, which makes the bacteria less "sticky" and get flushed out much easier 😊
I used to have UTI every winter. In my case it was wasabi what saved me. I hate wasabi but the UTI was so bad that I ate as much as possible because it's a "natural antibiotics" like a garlic. It was several years ago, I've got no UTI since. :)
I live in Europe and got prescribed anti-UTI vaxination. You take one pill every day for 3 months and then you're supposed to enjoy a UTI-free life for years. So far it's working, I highly advise anyone struggling with recurring UTIs to ask their urologist about this option, it made wonders for my issues
"2 liters is a lot of water." she says. "Coming from me, a female who has had a UTI and probably should, while drinking more water now than before the UTI, drink more water" she also says.😂😂 Glad she is okay. Like super glad, could've been super bad
It's called "acute pyelonephritis", basically Upper UTI. It is indeed more common for women to have UTI. Holding you urine in too often for example can give you UTI. BTW: "AKI" is usually abbreviated from Acute kidney injury not acute kidney infection. Not drinking enough will give you acute kidney injury(Prerenal)
Kidneys are no joke. People can live without one, but Id rather keep both. I know there are people who would donate them for noney or for someone, but for some personal reasons I managed to convince some of my family to keep them and to take care. If you can donate them cool, but also take care of yourself first and foremost.
Good call on having her admitted. She 100% needed IV antibiotics and fluids. And as you can see the kidneys are very sensitive. I’m glad she’s recovered!! icu nurse here UTI sepsis is very common in women of all ages and can get pretty bad really quick
Wow, this cosmic timing is insane. This past week I just developed my first kidney stone, so I'm very much in the same boat of hydrating a LOT more than I used to and having to be more mindful of how I treat my body. I really feel for Aki, because even though I was hospitalized for a week when I got diagnosed with UC a few years ago, this kidney stone is the worst pain I've ever felt in my life. Scary stuff, glad she's on the mend and thanks for spreading awareness!
I have lupus, which has kidney involvement. Kidney infections are absolutely painful and horrible. I’m sorry she had to go through that. 😢 I’m absolutely terrified of developing sepsis on top of my other medical issues. I’m really glad she pulled through.
I'm so glad that Aki is okay and that you are recovering too. You did a great job of explaining everything, Joey; I'm saying this as a nurse :) UTIs and AKIs (acute kidney infection/injury, depending on the mechanism of illness) are very serious and can be deadly. If you're not hydrated, your body's natural bacteria can attack back because your body will be making less urine, which leaves your private area "unrinsed." Your urine is sterile, wo not only are you removing waste when you pee, you are cleaning everything out, including bacteria that could be going up your urethra and into your urinary tract. If your kidneys are working too hard, such as they are when one is dehydrated, your body could be filtering out more nitrogen than normal (this lab level is called BUN = blood urea nitrogen; normal is 10 - 20 mg per dL), we call this Acute Kidney Injury. This can also happen if you fall and suffer muscle damage, a high stress situation, physical trauma, and more. Your kidneys control your blood pressure and circulation; you need to protect and support your kidneys! Advice: DRINK WATER Your urine is meant to be yellow and clear, and it should never be painful to pee. Yellow means you are getting the normal levels of BUN, sodium, and other unneeded material out of the body. Watery clear might mean you are just urinating out extra water that you don't need - drink electrolyte drinks like Gatorade or Pedialyte instead of water. Amber or dark urine means you have too much extra material being taken out, so it's best to drink water at this time. As your urine gets lighter, switch to Gatorade/Pedialyte to not get too low. ** Please drink Gatorade/anything aside from water, black coffee, or unsweetened tea when doing an activity where you sweat a lot or are in hot weather. You can be losing your electrolytes in your sweat and drinking water only waters the levels down more. This can lead to a loss of consciousness, low blood pressure, excessive urination, and nausea. You need proper levels of electrolytes to live and function normally. Without sodium/potassium, you can have seizures, muscle spasms, and paralysis. Abnormal potassium levels can lead to heart rhythm changes, which can be deadly. Magnesium and calcium also assist with your heart pumping normally. SEX ED: This is why we all need to urinate after sex; it greatly reduces the risk of UTIs by clearing out everything in the urethra. Remember, this can happen to everyone, so you need to make sure to do this AFTER having sex/masturbating. Also, ladies and those with similar anatomy, wipe front to back, or wipe the front and then the back. This helps to avoid getting bacteria from your feces anywhere near your urethra. If you use more paper, it's okay; your body will thank you for the effort you put into taking care of it.
Hey Joey! I’m so glad to hear Aki is doing a lot better and that she is keeping up with her water intake! My story doesn’t initially have a happy ending, but we’ll get there…I was in college and H1N1 was running rampant around campus-I caught it and was sick for 4 weeks. I went to the student clinic that just so happened to be located at the hospital across from campus. The Doctor there prescribed Ibuprofen and rest for a week. I also had a UTI. A week passes by and the body aches increase. I go home for the weekend and my parents say “I just don’t look good”. My Dad drives me back to SF ( I went to University of San Francisco) and on the way he says “let’s stop by the clinic just in case” we go, I see the same doctor and he notices my eyes are yellowish and recommends going to the E.R. Downstairs…We go and I pass out going through security. I wake up in a room with 4 Doctors and a bunch of nurses. Diagnosis: I have 26% bacteria in my blood, I’m Septic, and my Kidneys and Liver are failing-I was 21. Long story shorter, I get admitted, rushed to the OR, Dialysis catheters are placed and I begin Dialysis 15 hours later. My liver recovers, but my Kidneys are shot. I need a Transplant. My Mom ends up being a match after 8 MONTHS of testing and the transplant is Successful 🎉 Until…2 years later my Mom’s kidney fails ( I’m still in college btw) I have to go back on dialysis for 3.5 years (and 1 Brain tumor later until I receive the call that I have a match!🎉🎉🎉 Second Transplant on March 24th 2015 and here I am Alive and Pretty Great almost 9 years later 😊 Please, Tell Aki I am SO HAPPY SHE IS WELL and to drink water always❤❤❤❤ I love both of your channels, you both have helped me through my dialysis sessions with your awesome content! Sending love from California, Kei💖
As annoying as it is, I am a woman and I don't drink enough water and I know so many of my girlfriends don't either. When you said Aki had a kidney infection the first thing I thought was "did she drink enough water?" lol but also as she war poorly before that, its had to remember to stay hydrated when you have a cold or flu. Glad that she is doing better though, and if she doesn't like water, maybe squeeze in cup of tea...now the weather is getting cold. 😊
Just came here after watching Aki’s video. I’m so glad she’s feeling better. Your “drink water” message resonates with me. I realized that I don’t drink nearly enough water. I’ve had coffee, Mountain Dew, and Dr. Pepper only today. That’s not water. 😐
It's always good to see people learning from hardships. I feel the only purpose hardships and suffering serve in our material existence is to teach us something positive. More power to you, Joey and Aki!
The dual post on your guys channel is actually pretty wholesome for these negative events. One of my favorite RU-vid couples, I hope you guys get well from these events.
I'm so glad Aki is alright! It was really scary what happened and what a miracle it didn't develop into something worse! It's very much a lesson in the importance of drinking more water, and it's definitely reminded me of that very much!
my other combined health problems plus my lack of drinking water lead me to get UTIs pretty often :(( its pretty scary to hear that that can lead to this. stay safe! wish u guys the best
Wow I went through the exact same thing this year. This is a great video. I’ve been fallowing for a long time. I’m not as active but definitely love you guys and I’m glad she’s doing a lot of better! It’s very scary. The doctors were I live didn’t give me much information about what happened to me but I took antibiotics for a kidney infection and the symptoms went away within a week or two. I’ve been on a journey of trying to eat healthier and drink lots of water. Sending my love and support! ❤️❤️
I'm so relieved that Aki's okay. I've had a lot of UTIs and kidney infections due to a health condition and on top of being dangerous, they're miserable to go through. It's extremely painful, you're constantly tired, and it feels like there's not enough antibiotics and cranberry juice (It can help with UTIs and kidney issues) in the world for a few days. It's scary to think that it was bad enough that she had to go to the hospital for it, but I'm happy she's home safe and sound. Aki's a sweet person and wish she hadn't had to go through that.
I am very happy to hear Aki is okay. I will say, drink enough water, but don't overdo it. I had a period in my life where drinking water became a tick due to heavy stress. I drank around 5 to 6 litres a day. That is unhealthy too, because it can poison your body. My doctor was surprised that I was still up and about when I told her about it.
From a critical care nurse to one Dr Jelly - you explained acute kidney infection ( or AKI, for short 😅 ) and sepsis and the medical side of things in a very community friendly way, without the medical jargon most of us tend to slip into. Well done, and thank you for doing research before posting any information about medical diagnoses and HOW antibiotics work 😊🎉 WTG Joey!
That's so interesting. I got a similar thing just a couple of months back after a trip, huge infection in the throat with super high fever, then a muscle pain in the lower abdomen that wouldn't go away I went to the hospital and they found an infection in my urine. After antibiotics I was fine, I gotta do another check soon to make sure. Best wishes to Aki and you! Being sick is not fun at all
I've had both things happen to me on different occasions. I got kidney stones back in college and, at the time, I hated drinking water with a burning fiery passion. I learned to enjoy water after I started going to the gym. The UTI happened years later, I was taking a medication for some severe back pains I was experiencing, but for some reason it numbed my bladder, hence I didn't know I was holding my pee until I was about to burst. The infection got so bad that I was taken to the hospital and I was going in and out of consciousness on the stretcher; it took a week in the hospital and then some therapy at home until I flushed everything out. Needles to say that now I don't drink anything other than water and I try not to hold my pee unless it's strictly necessary😅
I’m so glad she’s doing better after such a scare and I’m also really glad she had such a great partner to help her through that and had her best in mind.
I have been watching you guys for YEARS! I never comment lol. But I am in nursing school and as soon as you said Acute Kidney Infection I was so happy that you guys caught it so early!!! It is no joke. I am a PCT in the hospital while I am in school and I can't tell you how many times people wait too long and it doesn't end well or it is a fight for their life. Good job Joey for getting your girl to the hospital and not just waiting for it to go away. It doesn't just go away.... you die! Love you guys big! So glad she is okay!
As someone who’s had sepsis before from an untreated kidney infection, I can imagine how horrible she felt for those few days. Glad she is out of the hospital and back to feeling 100%!
It's awesome to know you two are so supportive of each other. I'm very glad all is well with Aki and that she is continuing to get healthier every day.
Thanks for sharing this with us, I've always been lazy when it comes to drinking water and never got the motivation to start drinking more water. After watching your video, I finally got that motivation !
I’m glad she’s doing better and she got the care when she did! My mother developed sepsis as a result of cancer complications and we caught it at home. As soon as they notice bacteria in the blood stream it’s go-time so it sounds like y’all had the perfect chance. Wishing her well and will definitely check out her video. Wishing both of you good health and better days
So glad to hear that Aki is doing better! That was a scary situation for her! Glad you were there to support her! Let us know if anything changes, for better or for worse, please and thank you!!!
I'm glad that Aki's ok. Not drinking enough water isn't just a female thing. The ppl I know who had kidney stones were all men. Take care of yourselves, peeps!
aah yes UTIs are very common amongst us girlies 😔 as someone who is studying womens health, i recommend: drink enough water, always pee after sex, and remember to wipe front to back after going to the toilet so you dont get nasty bacteria near the urinary tract. Stay healthy ppl!
I'm glad to see aki is out of the hospital and doing better!! 🥺 AKI YES PLS STAY HYDRATED WITH WATER!!! Joey and aki both of you stay safe the rest of the winter and take care! ✨💖
So glad that Aki is doing much better. I had this exact issue when I was in my late teens, uti that became an acute kidney infection but add to that impacted bowels. 😢 I had a fever of 103 and horrible shaking and chills, couldn't keep food and fluids down so went to the emergency clinic and sure enough, "AKI". They gave me a shot of penicillin and basically watched me for an hour or so to see if my fever would come down, or else I'd have to go to the ER. Thankfully it didn't escalate to hospitalization and I was sent home with antibiotics, but really the importance of DRINKING WATERRRR, not holding your pee, and also enough fiber in your diet can't be understated!
I'm praying for both you and Aki I hope she has steady and safe recovery and also I hope you are staying sane and healthy as well man you are the anime man and she is Aki The GOATED Girlfriend🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
oh my gosh joey i saw a tik tok of you in an interview, i re-found your channel on youtube. i watched your videos when i was 12 for years (i turn 18 in 6 months) i love you and aki so much you both shaped my childhood in ways i can’t thank you enough for both of you guys created spaces where i felt comfortable and happy!
Hey Joey, I am really happy you made a video about this because I can relate to Aki's experience SO HARD right now. I am very prone to getting UTIs and used to get them once or twice a year, but have had three in the past six months. They are horrible, and I had a very adverse reaction to one of the antibiotics I was given. Not staying well hydrated enough is what I believe was my problem as well. I have reminders on my phone and connected to my watch to remind myself to drink water, and that's been really helpful. I saw a urologist recently as well and she gave me some other good preventative techniques. It might be worth talking to a urologist if she's prone to getting them even after staying well hydrated because there are more aggressive preventative measures you can take. So far, staying well hydrated has been working for me. :) Glad Aki is feeling better, and really glad you are bringing visibility to the topic.
As an individual constantly working in the medical field, it is a relief that there are still PSAs around to educate the community. There is so much to learn when I am continuously learning different conditions. Thanks, Joey, for doing your part to help society with this knowledge. Also, I am so grateful that Aki is okay and that she is taking countermeasures to ensure her health is in good condition.
I’m dealing with Covid at the moment, but with Aki being prescribed with antibiotics quite a few times it also reminds me to bring up that she may want to take some probiotics if she’s still feeling a bit icky later. Last year I had surgery and they made me take antibiotics after as precaution for infection, but then I got an infection and I had to take antibiotics again. I went back to work, then I got Covid and my uvula swelled up so bad I couldn’t breathe or swallow so I went to the ER and was prescribed more antibiotics and a steroid because the doctor wasn’t sure what to do and hoped that it would kill whatever I had since I had already had Covid for over a week at that point. I was feeling really gross, and I had said how I already had antibiotics twice in the past few months so I was afraid of being resistant to them if prescribed the same one so he prescribed me a different one. But as I was finishing that round of antibiotics I noticed my tongue was white and furry and almost like I had thrush. Because apparently if you have too many antibiotics your body can over fight and then it creates the white furry tongue and oral thrush so taking probiotics is needed sometimes to get things back to normal. Don’t know if she needs to know this but just thought I’d mention it! I hate how pretty much a year later and I have Covid again 😢
As someone who had kidney infection which sadly turn into worst illness I hope that you and Aki are okay. I hope that Aki be safe and healthy. Will be praying for the best.
Hey Joey! been a huge fan of you and Aki's channels since 2016, I've had numerous AKI's over the past year but luckily never went septic. Interstitial Cystitis is a often overlooked condition which can also cause AKI's. Currently in bed with one rn and while I'm so sorry you guys went through this I feel very comforted and seen rn so thank you!
Thank You for sharing this it is indeed a great PSA to share! Glad to know Aki is doing a lot better! Kindey infections are no joke and I myself last year suffered from one also got very lucky and caught it on time and it didn't turn into sepsis! And its nothing to be embarrassed about especially for us the ladies who don't hydrate enough because Joey is right a lot of us don't and end up learning the hard way!
Yo Joey, hope everything gets better, it 100% will. My uncle died of Sepsis 2 days ago from today, and it was hard to deal with, but it didn’t help since he didn’t have the best medicine. Thank goodness Aki is doing better now, and absolute warrior.
I'm glad Aki's doing well. My Nan passed away last year from Sepsis, she was hospitalised but didn't respond to the medication and they couldn't find the source. It was heartbreaking to see her in so much pain.
Literally have not watched you guys in years (i actually never unsubscribed, i guess just too many other channels in my feed?) But this randomly floated into my recommended and i was like AKI????? It's genuinely been so long i wasn't even sure if you two were still together 😭 I'm glad you two are still going strong, and I am glad she is fine!❤❤ Sepsis is so scary :(
Just watched Aki's video. So glad she's doing better. What a scary thing to happen! I'm glad you're doing good too, I'm sure you were just a wreck with worry!
