Being dismissed by a medical professional is GROSSLY NEGLIGENT! How could you think this is all in her head? Hearing her cry on the floor was really hard - and she said it can last for hours. My heart goes out to you and your family.
Happens to women in pain every single day, no matter the severity. Women literally having heart attacks are dismissed (and sometimes die) because the pain doesn't seem strong enough by the doctor. Women with things like endometriosis or PCOS take as much as a decade to diagnose because their pain is so often ignored as "in her head."
@@MrsBrit1 change women to humans. Humans deal with pain. All humans. This is not a woman thing. Pain is a human thing. Humans die from all kinds of things that doctors don't notice, because medical science isn't a manufacturers warranty. Medical science isn't perfect and doesn't know everything. Humans being doctors doesn't mean they are robot geniuses that can just know all things going on with a body, they are working based off of their experience and what they have learned. Then they try to research or find other doctors who might know things. HUMANS. This isnt about sex, race, gender expression, diet, socioeconomic status, or any other generic classification. HUMANS.
Yet, that is what they do time and time again. It's easier to put the blame on someone else when you have no knowledge of what is wrong, how to find out what is wrong and much less how to treat it. Just a lot easier to say you're crazy, you have mental problems, it's all in your head. That way they get off easy, instead of really putting their nose to the grindstone to help their fellow human beings
Doctors who refuse to believe their patients should be restricted to lab work. No patient contact. As a chronic pain patient I really feel for her. The DEA limiting how much pain medication people can have has limited me to the couch and my bed and effectively taken 1O years of my life. I’m tired of ignorance causing others pain. May their Karma find them. May that poor woman have peace and be pain free.
THANKS TO DRUG ADDICTS AND WEAK PEOPLE WHO CLAIM THEY BECAME ADDICTED BECAUSE OF DOCTORS they have destroyed people that have REAL PAIN. It's truly a doctors job to know or test and check up on these fake ones literally rule them out from others that truly need pain medication constant. Why produce medicine if your not using it? Yet they push the "JUNK" that is either causing strokes and brain damage but not the real meds? I have severe ADHD and can't get anything, yet they're pushing it out like candy to teens? Backwards system! Yes.
It's a shame that doctors keep prescribing antidepressants to women and tell them symptoms are all in their head, even when this woman clearly could not even get up out of her chair. Ridiculous! I was told my symptoms of POTS was just anxiety and mental illness, this has got to stop.
We as women hire our doctors. If you hire good doctors, that is not an issue. Unlike most men, some women just take who they are appointed to, not interviewing and hiring, then don't complain when not a good service provider. We have patient responsibility in hiring, just like with any other service we hire for. I've never had an issue as a woman, but I do the work and due diligence to hire a good provider, interviewing many before hiring and firing if they don't stand up to the job needed. It's a shame many women don't do that and then blame everyone else, which we see too often.
@@betsybabf748 It's a shame that certain demographics legitimately are likely to face more difficulty in having their healthcare providers actually listen to them. Yes, you can blame the patient but you're forgetting that there are people who can't "doctor" shop due to financial reasons, due to geographical isolation, etc. The reality is, more should be done to address the source of the bias rather than placing the burden entirely on the shoulders of those who are sick and ailing and looking for answers.
So fed up with doctors dismissing what they cannot understand by saying "it is all in your head." Thank you Celine for being such an open and empathic person... She has brought awareness to a condition that truly, truly needs it. ❤️
Celine advocate for Cov vaxx ... maybe she did not get enough Cov boosters that why she is so sick.... RIP .... young and healthy Victoria Lee 18 yrs old international MMA fighter """"" Sudden death""" few days ago took her shots so she could compete in Thailand mid this month
@@Bilangumus they’ve been doing this for a long time. V’s wake up dormant illnesses in individuals. Doctors call them genetics or idiopathic and that’s the end of it. Everybody gets a different surprise so it can’t be traced to the same source 👉 V…nes
It drives me nuts too. Like _of course_ it’s in their heads! There’s something going on with their neurology that’s causing these symptoms. Did you expect the problem to be somewhere in another galaxy? Now acknowledge that everything a person experiences is “just in their head” and start dealing with their real lived experience.
The world had been developing and using vaccines since 1721. It's the reason smallpox no longer kills 2-3 million people a year. Covid vaccines cut global deaths by around 63% and saved aprox 20 million lives in one year. If you factor in any side effects reported (of which a completely unrelated neurological condition is NOT one,) the benefits of administering the vaccine would still vastly outweigh the risk. Frankly, I trust scientists and those with decades of accumulated expert knowledge in their field over a bunch of Internet whackos and moral bankrupt individuals who exploit people's ignorance for their own agendas.
Not a whole lot has changed when it comes to helping women with health issues . Physicians often see women as histrionic & just want to throw a tranquilizer their way, rather than taking time to get to the bottom of the illness. This needs to change . I am glad this dear lady has gotten help & has hope for a better outcome & future. She is an advocate for others ! Bless her!
@@TruthProvider You’re very wrong. A lot of female doctors are judgmental and misogynistic themselves. I don’t like female doctors myself. They talk down to you and dismiss your health concerns as being hormonal/age related changes, depression or stress. You have to fight them to send you to see a specialist. “But wHy dO yOu tHinK yOu neED tO seE a sPeciAlisT?”
As a nurse, I to have experienced being told by stupid doctors that it's just stress.Basically as a woman it's all in my head. No, it's not. I am actually feeling this going on. When a doctor doesn't listen to you, walk out and tell him you are fired! After all, you are the one that hires him.
Nothing triggers me more when I hear a doctor tell a patient it's all in their head. They said the same to my mother when she was in so much pain. They finally diagnosed her with lung cancer and she died soon after. How HORRIBLE it must have been not to be believed.
Yep a doctor told me I was faking my pain when I was in deep pain. Sometimes I think many of them just don't have empathy while working in a field that requires empathy.
hey I really hope there is like 10000% less stiff person syndrome. because I feel like I have a dozen unnecessary ocults on me (although I am mostly above everything Will plainly be awesome ↗️)
I have fibromyalgia syndrome and it took me years to get anyone to listen to me. My condition is nowhere near as horrible as hers. You are in my prayers sweet lady. No one can understand how horrible it is when you are in pain and struggling and no one believes you. God bless you❤
I got it when I was diagnosed with incurable cancer I couldn't move my arms,my shoulders. I had to turn like a robot. When I put my coat on I'd get one arm in and then the last one I had to bend my arm a bit and my God the pain. It had me in tears after about 9/10 months of it. In the end I had a pain doctor from Farleighs hospice came out to my home ( this was in the pandemic 2020) And he said he thought it wasn't anything to do with my cancer he said he was was 99% sure I had fibromyalgia. I couldn't even get my arm up to brush my hair, I had to bend forward enough to brush my hair in between my legs. He prescribed me these steroids and told me they were a one off. But the first one I took, after a few hours I put my coat on to go to the shop and I didn't notice to start with that I hadn't had any pain. Then I realised I then raised my arms above my head, I couldn't believe it. They put me on something else then and I carried on taking them for a couple of years and then the pharmacy told me that the manufacturer's had stopped making them. So I had to get an alternative for them. Well by the time the doctors done a prescription for something else about a week had passed and I hadn't had anymore pain so I didn't take what the doctors had given me and I still don't take anything for it. It's probably about 3 months now that I haven't. I know not everyone is like this I hope they would be believe me. Because I know how mentally it broke me. It was worse than the cancer. Sorry for writing an essay but had to explain about it.
Tis is when a celebrity truly makes a difference, shows their 'realness' it opens the eyes to millions to what really matters. This woman who shared the horrific disease she is living with, is so brave to do so.

So true. Obviously doctors can't make a diagnosis...now the general public will be aware, and can diagnosis themselves. Informing the public is such a blessing.
Hello my name is Erica, I was recently diagnosed with Stiff Person Sysmdrum and It is so challenging that getting out of bed makes me cry most days because it's painful. I have difficulty holding a pencil or pen , picking up things, and WALKING OMG I have fallen more than a few times. I have been a preschool teacher for 35 + years and at the end of January I have to retire and give up what I LOVED MOST AND THAT WAS WATCHING THE BABY grow and watching their little brain expand with knowledge. I understand your pain with the spasms and I pray they find something that can better our lives. Praying for all
The lord didn’t pay for his monthly internet bill this month sadly the message won’t be received. I’d recommend you pray in person instead…I mean that’s how it’s always been done…no?
Thank you, it's a very cruel disease. Going on 18 years now. It's hard when people say take a bath and some ibuprofen, no we take 15 or more pills a day to walk around or others are in wheelchairs, there are many levels to this that many big universities still do not understand. Mine started at 18, others start much later. But yes I still can't get infusions, and yes they leave you screaming, it's the truth. We now finally have a foundation and all pray for a name change to this "syndrome" and also better medicines and of course one day a reason why we get this and an affordable cure for all. When Celine Dion is ever ready on her time, we pray she will help us change the name of this disease to be taken seriously and hopefully make the big time doctors understand what the truth is to this and it's not just a muscle cramp.
I suffer from dysautonomia since I was very young but it took 15 years to be diagnosed. I cannot say how often doctors told me it was in my head. My luck was this particular doctor who was familiar with my syndrome and I took the related tests to be confirmed. Being diagnosed feels like the start of a long journey because it never goes away but I am grateful for Celine and this woman, who share their pain and raise awareness. It is so important for so many of us.
I know where you’re coming from.I was diagnosed with POTS in late 2005 at the Cleveland Clinic but it took over a year and 20 different doctors many of them telling me it’s all in my head before I got my diagnosis.
Thanks for the suggestion and thoughts. I have the illness since I was 12 years old and I doubt food will make it go away but I do agree that diet and food plays a big role in our health. I will check her out, nothing to loose and desperate to be better
This disease takes anything and everything. It is no respecter of persons. The problem with these rare diseases is not only that they are difficult to diagnose (so few doctors have seen them @ 1:million)but there are no “approved” treatments, just guesses from case studies because there’s no RCTs. No $$ in researching so they don’t. We get the accidental discoveries or the leftovers. Also, it doesn’t seem to get much in the way of support services like say, cancer or MS, which are more visible and common.
I have sps, 18 years now. I sing. Just had my tonsils out and pray my voice comes back better or at least normal. It's been 6 weeks, I need 6 more weeks min and see how much longer it takes. You are 💯 correct. Singing is all we have. She had a great and long career but the fact is this disease which is not reported, gives you other diseases and takes so much from you, it's a disaster of the soul for it to take your singing too.
I feel badly for the girl shown on the show, how sad there is no cure , my heart goes out to her , she’s strong and brave and a role model like Celine who I send my best wishes too. ❤️
This is responsible journalism. This needs to be shown. Any chronic pain disease is very cruel and many suffer beyond belief just performing a simple task like sitting up. As a nurse, I’ve seen a lot of this and also how such patients are dismissed as having a psychological issue when the disease itself is worsened by the stress of not receiving the medical care they deserved and not being believed. My heart goes out to all of you who have to suffer chronic pain daily. Those of us who do not suffer, let’s hope we don’t have to in the future. ❤🙏
Exactly. Mine began with leg pair at age 10, migraine at 14. Finally, after many odd symptoms, at age 31 I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic migraine, fibromyalgia, TMJD and neuropathy. Nearly another 30 yrs later I was also diagnosed with gastroparesis. Between time I had a doctor send me for tests, then told me I didn't have neuropathy at all and refused me my pain meds and migraine meds. I recently had more tests and neuropathy has been confirmed. It's been a battle the whole while.
@@divahc1 my heart truly goes out to you really 🙏. I’ve felt pain in my life of course like toothaches, a broken bone a headache, etc. chronic pain is on a whole new level. I’m very sorry that you have gone through such a long process trying to get diagnosed, while being denied pain meds that really just take the edge off sometimes or may make the pain at least tolerable. The first time I ever met anyone with chronic pain was years before I became a nurse. I was a financial advisor and would go to the homes of clients. I met a couple in their 50s and the wife had chronic pain. Just the act of sitting in a chair was excruciating for her. She was underweight and bless her heart, she really wanted to be mannerly and sit at the table. I could see the heartbreak in her husband’s eyes. Curtains had to be closed due to severe headaches. I insisted that she make herself comfortable on the sofa where she would usually lay for any source of relief from the pain. I assured her she was not being a terrible host at all and that I would lower my voice, leave documentation so I could come back later on and make the visits short. I remember how lovingly her husband helped her to the sofa. Every step was agonizing for her. I was 30 years old at the time and never witnessed anything like that before. I actually sobbed on the car afterwards. I have empathy for my patients and I do whatever I can to ease their pain. I never tell them I know what it feels like because I don’t. I know that there are some or unfortunately many healthcare professionals who should drop their egos, stop playing the guessing game and focus on the patient as a human being. Many times we are not the experts and need to listen more to our patients. I’ve learned more from my patients than I think I ever did in nursing school. I sincerely hope that you get the care you deserve. I’m proud of Celine Dion for going public with this but especially the woman in this report. Take off the filters and lenses, take the smartphone and film what it’s really like. ❤️🙏
@@PriyaMomma that’s a great point! It would have been more informative to know when these symptoms started exactly. My comment about the responsible journalism is basically directed towards the fact that many chronic pain sufferers aren’t believed and never get a concrete diagnosis. As for getting a poke, mandatory where I work in infections. After getting infected a second time, I’ve now been suffering from “long Covid syndrome”. I’m not believed when it comes to my symptoms. I was in this frame of mind when I phrased it as “responsible journalism”. It seems to be taking a long time to come up with any concrete evidence on what exactly causes long Covid. Though I don’t have chronic pain, I suffer in many other ways.
I’ve had seizures for 28 years and it took 28 years for me to get an official diagnosis. I’ve been on seizure meds for 28 years only to be told though that it was psycho genic meeting it’s in my head Well, I found out through reading on my own that cortisol, which is produced by stress can cause seizures. I’ve had a very stressful life. Progressively the seizures have become worse and worse and worse I’ve been unable to work for over 20 years. Now, for the first time I have medication that is controlling my seizures appropriately. And I am interviewing for jobs. In fact, I had a job interview today. Don’t know if I get it but I know that least I can do a job.
I am praying for you dearest Celine. You have given the world so much joy and lovely pleasure, Please, dont give up. You are surrounded by people worldwide who are there for you 100 per cent. Sometimes, the body our temple needs just rest. No commitments, zero stress. Walk in the forest talk to the trees smell the blossom - just chill. Dammit, if there is one woman who needs this is YOU as you have given so much of yourself to your adoring fans throughout the world. Take the utmost pleasure in the moment.
My wife was plagued with this disease but back then no one knew what is was. The treatment is simple and has great results. A potassium sulphate drip was administered just like a pregnant person that needed to have their contractions slowed. A country Doctor used a common sense treatment that worked very quickly. My wife went years without another episode until mid 2015. This treatment was not known by any Doctors and the last time she went through this the ER doctor didn't want to listen. When she got so bad he finally swallowed his his arrogance and administered the same dose as was given to pregnant people who needed to slow contractions. Within minutes, as it did before, her episode had stopped. That was ten or fifteen years ago and we believe she is now cured.
I think he was trying to be respectful with so much gender bending terminology propagated lately. It's hard to know what is proper to say these days! What us wrong with saying person? Why because childbirth is a badge of courage like no other, and women suffer so much more than men? Not so.
William, Ur an angel in true life for telling us this ❤ BIG RESPECT & ADMIRATION TO U & UR WIFE 💖 I hope she's feeling much much better 🙏🤲🕊✝️😇 God bless 🙌
It makes me so sad that your condition was brushed off as anxiety. I am so sorry you went through that, when you were enduring so much suffering. May Jesus bring healing to you, and all who have this condition 🙏
When Felines husband died, it was unimaginable for her. Wondering if her neurological net just caved from having to suffer the deaths of her, mother and brother in a short period of time. Celene Dionne's voice is so beautifuI hope a cure is found for this disease. I hope she has a good chance of making a comeback. Her voice is spectacular as that of an angel.
I would bet money. All of these illnesses are vaccine induced. I just don’t think it’s healthy to inject these toxins into the human body. Heartbreaking.
My heart goes out to you and what you face daily. Your courage to show us what it means to have this syndrome will hopefully bring awareness and maybe it will bring funding to study this. It takes a warrior to be so vulnerable to share this. Prayers to you and your family.

Thank you Beautiful Celine Dion for speaking out on this Horrific Disease. Celine Is a Voice for this Beautiful Soul and all Sufferers of this Horrific Condition. My Kindest thoughts to you and your families and Furbabies from Australia x if not for Celine Dion I would never have watched or heard of this CONDITION. 😢
I have a neurological disease. When you start to lose control of your body, and you cannot do anything about it, it is scary. You feel like your life is over especially when you’re young. I woke up one morning with both my legs numb, and it traveled up my back, and because doctors couldn’t see it, they wouldn’t do much. 5 MRIs later, they discovered it. My heart goes out to everyone battling.
Every morning I wake up, peel open my clenched hands in some fashion and they go "pop Crack snap" then I try to straighten my legs fully, sometime I can sometimes not.. everything hurts and snaps, tendons sheaths are not large enough for tendons to pass through and so inhave trigger finger in every finger often... I hide it as best I can as I work in trades with my hands.. its getting worse, doctors in my case are absolutely useless..
"your lawd"??? wtf? according to your twisted belief system "your lawd" created us and the environment we live in and now you are begging your imaginary friend to heal what "it" created? this type of religiously indoctrinated drivel is beyond disgusting!
@@mcdeigo hello...I trust you are well 🙂. First of all, I never said "lawd", I said "Lord". So clearly myself and you are not talking about the same god. I'm talking about the Lord Jesus Christ ❤️ not your "lawd". Secondly, before you talk to people, kindly ensure that you have purified your inner self, so that in that way you won't have to insult people or let alone God by using words such as "wtf". Kindly clean your tongue first 😉. Thirdly, not all sicknesses are caused by God. Satan is also behind some evil diseases. But obviously you won't mention or talk about Satan because you clearly "belong to him" isn't it. That's why you are even insulting God, because you belong to your father "Satan". And for your information God the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, he is very much loving, graceful, he is compassionate and he does heal. It is also loving to pray for the healing of others as He commanded us to pray for their healing, knowing that in his Faithfulness he will grant them healing. Instead of being rebellious as you are now, you could have been making yourself useful, particularly your tongue to be useful instead of useless, by speaking words of hope and assurance to others. These people that are sick, for your information they are praying and hoping for healing. But if they could hear someone like you speak the way you speak, indeed that's what they would call disgusting. Change your mindset, and the words that you speak will be full of life and grace for others, and you will not find yourself speaking useless words. Blessed Sunday 😊🌹
Baby Girl! You have made a difference to anyone watching this. I pray someone with what you need will watch this and make a difference for you. Bless you and every endeavor you undertake.
@@truckingwithtobee How many videos have you looked up about this before you knew she had it? Have any of us? I'll be honest and admit i haven't. The fact of the matter is that we all don't pay attention to things that we don't see day to day. But celebrities are more visible.
I hope and pray they come out with a cure for this illness. ✝ I'm sick and tired when a doctor says, "It's All in Your Head! This story hits home for me personally. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for being so vulnerable, ladies. I don't have Stiff Man Syndrome, but I battle more than one rare illness. 😢 My heart goes out to you both and all chronic illness sufferers/spoonies. I would speak out on some things, but I couldn't face the judgment, skepticism and cruelty of those who would focus on my not having any teeth. Medication, and illness, as well as a lot of errors made by 2 dental offices and a lab. No dental insurance for those on disability for years in my state. It's rough. I think I could cope better with the other challenges if I hadn't felt like this made me undatable and unable to do social media or many social things. I worry about my future granddaughter being ashamed of me. ETA: Still paused. I have an idea what she faced to get a diagnosis.
Oh this poor woman! Bless you and I feel a lot of compassion for you. I am so sorry that you're going through this!!!! SHAME ON THE DOCTORS WHO TOLD YOU THIS WAS ALL IN YOUR HEAD. SHAME ON THEM.
This had me in tears. I live with chronic pain and I'm not taking pain pills out of fear of accidentally getting addicted. My pain is 24/7. In a small way I can sort of relate to this woman. I feel trapped in my body. I pray for healing for everyone dealing with any kind of health issues.
Cameron Fradd on RU-vid shares about her suffering. I first watched her on her husband’s channel Pints with Aquinas. I had a hard time listening to the part where she talked about her suffering. It was heartbreaking and inspirational. I have an autoimmune disease and it brought me comfort.
I'm not so much afraid of being addicted to my meds as I am of my doctors stopping them. Being at the mercy of doctors and insurance companies is scary.
@@ellakajfasz2569 You make me glad to be a Kiwi. At least we have a National Health System which is for the Public as long as you were born here & have paid your taxes all your working life. If you are disabled either physically or mentally in NZ or have a low income you will qualify to go into the public system & receive your treatment free. That's if you can find a Dr who will refer you to either the public system or a costly private specialist but you have to be rich to afford the latter.
Welcome to being a woman!! I’m also a Naples native, but anyway, I got sick at age 17 in 2004. I was dismissed and gaslit and referred to psych for SIXTEEN years before I was diagnosed, finally, with my rare disease. And ONLY after I self diagnosed and demanded the proper evaluation. I had to FIGHT and beg, and persist. It’s brutal. My diagnosis is also 1-2 per million. Cushings Disease due to pituitary tumors. Just AWFUL. Systemically rare disease patients are vulnerable and marginalized. We often can’t even get disability approved due to lack of awareness within the SSA! Just terrible. We need HELP!
I pray that something gets done,I’m so so sorry that you have gone through all of this, ,,I have recently been told I have a pituitary tumour but it’s not a problem,! But it is because I’m not mentally the same😢 all the best my dear to you x x x
@@joannesmith5853 you are lucky! If yours isn’t a problem it’s non-functioning, meaning it’s not excessively producing any hormones. Which is great. Mine is suuuuper active. Actually there is two of them! I had surgery in August but the surgeon missed them entirely! Then I contracted MRSA during my surgery as well. Has been a nightmare. So surgery failed and I still have Cushings. My heart breaks for rare disease patients.
@@joannesmith5853 thank you for the kind words and take care of yourself! IF you ever do become symptomatic, remind your Docs of the pituitary tumor and they’ll know what to test you for. 💜💜💜
@@Nat524Ricci hi could you tell me what's your main symptoms please. I'm I Ireland and have been diagnosed with a pituitary tumor as well and my cortisol levels are above normal. I was diagnosed with cushings and colaspsed and was lucky to be found in time to save my life. I was supposed to get treated further but then they discovered I had throat cancer so that was emergency surgery and chemotherapy and radiation. My problem is I've survived the cancer after having my voice box and have my tyroid completely removed but am still waiting 2yrs later to have the pituitary tumor treated. I've put on 5 stone weight in 1 month and even though I can't really eat anymore I'm not loosing any weight. I'm thinking this is probably from the pituitary glance producing hormones. I'm also getting a lot of neck spasms but don't know if this is from the pituitary tumor or the radiation damage and surgery damage. So fed up no Dr's seem to be able to help and just keep saying well you survived the cancer . It's as if the pituitary tumor doesn't matter. Mind you our health services are very bad I Ireland now unless you have private health or its a live threatening emergency and you go into hospitals through A+E.
I wish I knew this woman, I was diagnosed in 2018, and my neurologist moved out of town. Not only that, but I have a myriad of other back problems, including my spine sitting on nerves. I was always the most outgoing happy person except for my anxiety, but I could work out then. My life has been in bed for 5 years without sleeping because no Dr. will help me. It's the worst, and this video doesn't even depict what I go through. God bless you, sister.
My heart goes out to you, my father had it and I am a strong advocate where I can be. Unfortunately only some of the best will usually touch it and its awful. I hope you can do and get to where you need to be to be able to go live again. From what I know it's a very up and down thing but the ups are manageable. Best of luck, I'm rooting for you
@@jeaniesmith7387 i wish i were lying. my dad probably would have lived past 45. what good would i have to lie about as an anon in youtube comments? What do you wanna hear? I have decades worth of hell watching grieving it. I speak loudly and often because I want to raise awareness which leads to funding which leads to hope that there will be answers behind this awful disease and how to treat more than some of the symptoms. So people like Lahoma, Celine and Belinda can have the future he didn't get and deserved. So people just getting those first muscle spasms don't have to wait 7 years/they're near death just to get the correct diagnosis. I hope you can find joy and stay healthy
Stiff Person Syndrome is a scary disease!! I just can't imagine living with such a horrible condition, with your muscles aching and being stiff all the time. Thank goodness for Céline for speaking up about this illness!!
I am currently still battling seizures and vision problems, head pain, respiratory problems, etc. going on 7 months, doctors don’t know why but 9 out of 10 of them love to say it’s in my head. So god damn frustrating. God bless you. Glad you got an answer and are being treated and just sorry it took so long and so much pain to get there! ❤
@@direfranchement yes they do exist. But I would argue that it is far more common to actually have a physical reason for the symptoms than it is for it to be psychosomatic.
Psychogenic symptoms are tricky… and when you try to explain it to a patient, what they hear is often different from what is actually being said…and on many occasions patients will say, “So you’re telling me it’s all in my head?” There is an unfortunate stigma attached to the notion that our brains can cause physical symptoms. So when patients hear that, they automatically assume that the doctor is dismissing them as crazy.. Fortunately, that is not the case. Outcomes are variable and are hampered by the difficulty in communicating the diagnosis to patients. Psychogenic symptoms often mask underlying physiological disease. And the risks of both false positives and false negatives are high. Psychogenic is not a synonym for fake, they are usually not voluntary, and patients cannot just stop their symptoms. A psychogenic disorder is a real disorder - it is just that…the problem is with the brain’s software, not hardware. The brain is a powerful organ, and disorders of the brain can affect us physically. The effects of these disorders/ disease can be life-threatening and even terminal.

Yep, was told I had depression when I told my symptoms to a doctor in Houston years ago. Given Zoloft even though I disagreed with depression diagnosis as I was in pain. After just 1 pill my heart rate went up to 160 & was visibly pounding under my pajama shirt & I felt like hot pepper sauce had been poured over my body. Called the doctor, but it was at night but I was scared. He hung up after telling me not to bother him. Took living in Singapore to get a caring & correct diagnosis of Crohn’s disease. Wasn’t depressed. Nowadays even pain isn’t real, all you have to do is eat right & stretch. Today Everything is your fault & nerves to signal real pain no longer exist. It’s a Joke. Retired RN & glad I don’t work in today’s ridiculous 🌎
Dear Cynthia R....THANK YOU for sharing your story. My animals receive better care from their Veterinarian than I do from my Family Doctor. Health Care in Canada is DISGUSTING and PATHETIC. BLESSINGS to you, Cynthia.🙏🙏
@@bnice8940 well then that’s really discouraging and leaves me with little hope, because I will say from experience healthcare in Canada is better than many parts of the U.S. But I’m sorry to hear of your experience and health struggles.
I had debilitating fibromyalgia for over 20 years till Christy at face naturals changed my life with her health plan. Now I can walk, run, and live pain free.
My whole heart goes out too you. I have hardly no faith in Drs. I would not want you, Celine or anyone having it!!! Thank you for sharing and Celine. God Bless you!!!!
I was devastated hearing about my Queen Celine. I have seen Celine live in concert 6 times from 1998 - 2019. Celine means the world to me. The 5th time I saw Celine I took my Mom. Less than a month later my Mom passed away very suddenly. Which happened 2 days after Celine lost Renee & her brother Michael. Seeing Celine the 6th time was a godsend. The hope of seeing Celine live in concert gives me hope & happiness during many difficult times. I lost my Dad on 8-13-22. Making seeing Celine live even more important. When I heard Celine was ill I was heartbroken. I pray she & this brave woman find peace, good health, and so much more. I need Celine to help me get through my dark times. I hope Celine isn't taken away from me too!
We all unfotunately lose our loved ones and someday they will lose us, but our only hope of ever seeing them again is in Jesus Christ and his sacrifice for us on the cross. He is alive and can never die for he is the author of life and will resurect our loved ones and possibly ourselves if we pass away before he comes. If you spend time in prayer and in bible study , you will gain that great hope of a future in eternity. No more death or sorrow, disease or suffering. Eternal youthful vigor that never tires. Getting to know those who have lived and died in ages past, to meet our first parents Adam and Eve and best of all the Father, Son, and Holy spirit. This may seem incredible , but this is the reward of those who give their heart to Jesus and live according to his ten commandment law. Dont put your trust in mankind to lift you up, put your trust in God who loves you with an everlasting love and gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should have everlasting life. Only God gets us through our dark times as we are mortal and pass on but he is immortal and says he will never leave us or forsake us. Get to know him ,you will be happy you did.
@@katesun2957 How do you know they aren’t receiving the best treatment possible? This is a rare disease without a quick fix. Go and be mean somewhere else! Troll.
@@SJC49 I'm not a troll, I'm just smarter then you. Men get testosterone till they die. No horse urine should be able to be sold, to women as estrogen (HRT). Both women are very fine boned. Did they do a T score for them? You'd be a lousy doctor.
A research on Google tells that some treatment does help but doesn't completely diminish the pain. Imagine, sometimes I wake up in the early hours of the morning with cramps in my feet and calves. I have a good cream (Arnica) and massage my legs and feet. The pains goes away until next time (3-4 times a month). I can guess what Céline and other patients with SPS have to endure. The pain does not ever go away. And the medication actually used does cause other problems with time. It is a lose-lose situation. Praying for the woman in Naples and Céline Dion. @@SJC49
I had a client who had this. I was a hairdresser, and I did her hair. It was so incredibly hard watching her go through this. Hope and prayers for more research for this disease. Thank you for sharing your story. The only way people are going to understand this type of suffering is through documentation, and you are incredibly brave for allowing us to see this. To the naysayers I sure hope you don't have to ever explain this kind of suffering and have doctors turn you away because it doesn't fit in their cute little file in their heads of what a typical day should look for them.
You are so typical of the everyday hairdresser: Empathic, capable, understanding. Lord bless you, and those you serve, with such an humble spirit. ❤️🙏💞
Do not get jabbbed! And you won't get this. "CV-9 v@xcx" and ALL others?!! 💉 💉 💉 And don't worship the devil and dabble into the OCCULT / Witchcraft, like the abominable Celine Dion does! Your *only hope is in Jesus the Christ* - the Savior of the world and the God of Israel! And your only medicine is the HOLY BLOOD of Jesus‼️🚨⚠️ Call on Jesus to HEAL, save and deliver you, and to forgive all your sins, or you will never be healed but will die in your sins and go into eternal LAKE of fire and brimstone forever❗️ ⚠️📛🔥🔥🔥📛⚠️ #REPENT and #ReceiveJesus ‼️
Sadly, people still don't understand a person suffering from this type of condition unless they're educated about it or even experiencing the same symptoms themselves. I hope that people with this illness will be able to stay positive and try to live as comfortably as possible.
What an amazing, brave lady for sharing this with us. No one can possibly understand what she, and others like her must go through on a daily basis. We can see the results but still do not feel the pain they go through to totally understand. I'm sure not much research is being done because it's not profitable, and that's always the bottom line. It must be horrific when you know the spasms are coming on. As for Drs., so many of them cannot think outside the box and are not interested in doing so. Too bad they can't go through the pain involved and then say it's all in her head!!! God bless.
I can feel the awful pain that this woman suffers when she goes into spasms. I get excruciating spasms , excruciating doesn’t describe the pain. I pray that with Celine Dion, and this woman talking about this condition that there is more done to come up with a cure. It is wonderful that this has been brought to our attention.
I have disc disease and in constant pain and the orthopedic doctor I went to said there was nothing wrong with me and it was all in my head even though I had x-rays and MRIs to prove my condition. Instead of helping me, he referred me to a psychologist since it was "all in my head" so I can completely relate to her when she said that the doctors told her the same thing. Thankfully, I found a real doctor that did back surgery on me and said I was on the verge of being paralyzed if I didn't do something. He helped my back so I wouldn't become worse and about to have a spinal cord simulator implanted to help with the pain. I'm so sorry that she has to go through this. I pray she finds complete relief.
I had a muscle spasm in my neck when I was in my early 20s that made me unable to turn my head forward. It was stuck facing to the side for a few days. It only happened that one time like 15 years ago, and I’m still super careful that I don’t overexert my neck because I’m terrified of that happening again. The pain was that bad. I would put it almost on par with childbirth. I can’t imagine living with spasms like that all the time. I honestly would probably want to die. I feel so much for this lady and Celine and all the people suffering. Hopefully this will lead to more research ❤
@@jJust_NO_ I never got a definitive answer why. I did have a significant injury about a year before that where I tripped over a stool and fell face first into the pointed side of a bathroom counter. I may or may not have been a little inebriated at the time. Lol. Anyway, I broke my cheekbone and and pulled my neck. The spasm happened about a year after I fell, and I blame it on my moms driving. I was holding on for dear life because she drives like a maniac 😂. The doctor said I probably stretched my arm too much while I was holding on and my neck muscles rebounded. I’ve had a few little ones through the years, but nothing like that because I baby my neck. I’m fairly certain I did permanent damage when I fell. Don’t drink so much that you wipe out kids. You’ll regret it when you’re older lol
@@sadiemakesmesmile that’s terrible. I’ve heard that can be extremely painful. I hope you can find a doctor that can help. I love heard it’s hard to find a good one for that too. I’m sorry ❤️
That happened to me to at around 24. Muscle spasm in my neck it was awful and scary. I still get occasional debilatating muscle spasms in my back (like maybe twice a year) but I have medication (antispasmodic) that works realky well.
Aww my heart goes out to her. No one should have to suffer a debilitating disease. My prayers are for her recovery and in the meantime that her symptoms and pain would be alleviated as they find a cure.
My heart breaks to see people like them suffering so much pain, not to mention doctors dismissing those symptoms. I sincerely hope they get proper care and treatments. 🙏🏼
I have complex regional pain syndrome but before I was diagnosed nearly every doctor I saw told me “it’s all in your head” every time they couldn’t figure out what it was. I started to believe it actually was in my head until a physical therapist told me what he thinks it could be. To everyone out there suffering in silence, I see you, I hear you, and most importantly I believe you. ❤
Woman are twice as likely to be misdiagnosed with psychiatric disorders before finding their actual diagnosis. Somatic disorder / functional movement disorder / conversion disorder are all coded syndromes for "its' in your head". These all come directly from Freuds original diagnosis of "Hysteria" which only woman were diagnosed with. Freud also suggested masturbation and essential oils to cure this "Hysteria" because he though the uterus was wandering somewhere in the body. Unfortunately he is the reason that a lot people still to this day believe the trope that woman are less rational / less mentally stable and more likely to be "faking" their illnesses.
It irks me each time I hear someone was told by a doctor or a medical staff member that “their pain isn’t real” or something of the sort. I was once told this by a visiting doctor. It’s always been somewhat difficult for me to show others my true emotions or if I am physical pain. The pain must have felt unbearable for me to make a face or wince. Anyway she kept checking me aggressively and told me “No! Calm down, you’re not in any pain.” The accompanying nurses looked at each other. I was so shocked and felt so completely powerless, I didn’t contest her remark (and I will always regret that). A week later another doctor was checking me for my pain, and she looked at me with an astounded expression and stated, “Of course you’re in so much pain. You have an infection and your insides are all swollen!” From that moment on I vowed to never allow anyone to tell me what I feel or don’t feel. Thank you to all wonderful medical staff who BELIEVE your patients.
I have interstitial cystitis and before I was diagnosed, I went to a specialist who told me after being subjected to hours of tortuous bladder tests that I just needed to stop having so much sex. I was 24 at the time and devastated because I was in a long term monogamous relationship with my husband and I said to him, I can’t even have sex it hurts too bad. He just looked at me really coldly. I will never forget him.
No, he was fine. He never pushed the issue. It was the doctor who was such a jerk and made me feel like garbage. And misdiagnosed me because I was a woman. I appreciate your understanding and kind words.
I have interstital cystitis and I know your pain. My doctor prescribed me nortriptyline 10 mg 2 pills a day. I have been taking for years and really help me a lot . I hope you are doing better now.
Thanks for this reasonable journalism, atleast somebody is talking about it. My dearest Celine Dion has suffered, i miss her singing!! Quick recovery to both of us. 🙏🙏
I from Naples, 5 generations as a matter of fact. Our medical facility's are what I believe the best in the country. Thank you for doing this story and keeping people informed!!! Truly a blessing!! Stiff persons syndrome needed to come to light. As did Parkinson back in the day. It took Michael J Fox to shed that light.
Это - горе и беда... Я сама так болела, что, сидя на кровати, не могла сама закинуть ноги на неё, чтобы лечь... А в туалете? Сесть- сядешь, а вот встать???????? Муж- в больнице... Лежу на одном боку и жду, чтобы помогли тихонько встать и перевернуться на бок другой... Это очень и очень тяжело. Но Бог- милостивый! Желаю Дион одного - здоровья! Ведь не зря народная мудрость гласит: " Всё можно купить, кроме здоровья!" Силен - УДАЧИ (по Черчиллю)!
As my former bf who is a physician always said to me; 'Certain ppl get a degree as medic/physician, and think they are gods, that patients are just annoying ppl, to draw attention". But we live in our bodies; sometimes a negative result doesn't solve the enigmas but the symptoms are there, and lab exams show no positive results, and I said to a resident having a negative exam, does not mean I don't have a disease or a condition. I got a rare tumor, and lots of other issues that were undiagnosed my whole life, perhaps since the age of two years old.
I am a medical student. I don’t know everything. In fact I’m very very very very very far from it and I never will. And that’s something doctors have to learn to accept. I was diagnosed with a rare tumor that left me disabled for life and I only got answers due to the amount of insight I had and being so persistent to the extent I was labeled annoying. Even post diagnosis to this day there are people who think I’m being disabled for attention and most people I know are doctors or medical students. Makes me very really sad. I hope one day I can do more for people who are plagued by all this suffering.
😢😢❤ that's so sad and so terrible for this woman and Celine Dion, my heart and prayers goes out for both of them and any other person dealing with this horrible disease😢😢❤
It's truly brave for both of them to share their stories. The sad reality it's a complex disease and along with causing god knows how many other conditions, the causes and even exactly how it operates is still unknown. Is it just neurological or also autoimmune? is it genetic/hereditary? etc. and being so rare the money for research isn't there. I hope these stories can bring more awareness, too. Most SPS diagnoses happen among the same lines. In the beginning when its just isolated spasms you're dismissed, once you push or get sick enough they'll start to pick up various piece. Chances are you'll be misdiagnosed multiple times as it progresses. MS then ALS were the big ones for my dad. Eventually you'll get transported to a major hospital, it usually seems to be Mayo or sometimes Hopkins. As it stands around 7-8 years in, you'll finally get the diagnosis. You can't convince me there isn't more that can be done than to let these people slowly become bedridden and suffer just trying to patch the holes as they pop up
Need to heal at microcellular mitochondrial level. Mitochondria damage is not easily detectable which is why doctors don't usually think to treat it. The mitochondria is the powerhouse of cells. If damage occurs, the body starts to fail.
As i watch this i cried asking God to heal her and Celine ,its hard when we as healthy people get aches and pain we feel like we want to dye ,i can only imagine the extent of the daily pain there body is dealing with and the amount of tears they shed because of the pain they feel..Its very sad ...
Why cry for a wicked person. She’s Hollywood and does not worship God. Scripture says do not pray nor weep for wicked people. Look up her clothing line. That will tell you a lot
@TG dont tell me look it up since u know the entire bible and what u think God said which he clearly never said anything of such as you claim then give me the scripture that he said so..
