Welcome to See You Next Tuesday.
um this is our this is our mixtape drop you've been waiting for this one oh my gosh this is
megan just informed me that like there's things that i don't even know
and also like i was keeping things quiet um you you messed up our uh monopoly
oh no melissa the way that i realized when it was done and i went oh god because i wasn't
even texting you i had no i was not capable i knew that you but i knew that and i was texting
mods yeah because the whole thing was that i was like if i text her right now i can't respond and
like it's probably not going to be coherent it's not going to be good and like i'm going to make
her more worried and so if i don't respond to her asking me if i'm she's just going to text mods
and then he'll be able to respond and i knew that you would do that and it would be fine
but then like i literally thought about it like when it ended i go oh i let down the whole
Monopoly team and I was like I I feel like I also as part there's why I feel like I have to make a
statement today on the podcast because I was like it was me and Kira and Kira had asked I don't know
if the other person on our team was Mott's that's who Kira thought it was yeah and then Mott's
dropped off too because yeah obviously so um I was like shit yeah so um I was just like we gave
her all I'll say that we individually me and Kira have more points than anybody else carried and
kira this you're gonna hear the explanation yeah we're gonna read um i actually have and i also
have just stopped i deleted monopoly because i'm just done but um yeah when i forgot to like do my
last pick because i said oh i'll just wait until it's almost over and then it just ended and i said
i had 30 picks left and i was about to get my wild card to finish the set i was like i'm gonna kill
myself and then when i thought i'm gonna kill myself over fucking monopoly go i was like i need
to i need a break a break so uh megan's gonna read a state we're gonna get a statement from
the desk of megan of what has happened to me because i'm not gonna talk about this in a video
because like as funny as it is it was also like fucking traumatizing so like i don't want to talk
about it in like a youtube video and um and have that live on no in video form yeah and like people
will be like not people like two three four people who are the same people who i'm sure are on those
subreddits of like illness fakers or whatever who are like oh my god like everything's wrong with
her like she always she claims blah blah blah and i'm like what are you talking about like
i think there's a my health has been bad since covid but like prior to that like i'm clumsy
like what whatever it's like not it didn't get in the way of my life until recently um and so
i don't like to feed into that it's also like not fun and positive um but yeah so everybody who's
like saw my story talking about like literally shitting my pants out they're like oh nicole
message and was like can't wait to hear about this on the podcast i was like nicole you actually
don't know that this is the end of the story and this is like this is clearing out the mess that
the beginning of the story created this is like the best this is a good like we're doing actually
incredibly good right now which is so terribly unfortunate um so this actually all started
or not all started but it kind of a big part of it you you guys were actually a part of which
was thursday when we recorded where we didn't record don't blame me or but am i wrong for the
like the previous week and that's because that this was going on and we didn't even talk about
it on the podcast because it was it was going on but like it wasn't that big of a deal and like
it was like annoying but it wasn't what it ended up to be so to start um i think that this has all
started from like the last couple of months or less like couple weeks my jaw from one side has
been really like it's it's more in place but it's a lot tighter and tenser and like it's just been
giving me a lot more, um, strife and not in the way that it does. Like I need more Botox. Like
I just got that done, but there's just been like more tension here. I've been massaging it. It's
been helpful. Um, and it feels like it may have gotten like back into place or whatever, but
so that's, I think my theory of where this all started, but I can be wrong. So, but it really
started Tuesday night. I slept super badly. Um, we're going to say two Tuesdays, two Tuesdays ago.
so i slept really badly like physically i slept really badly i had just really bad anxiety so i
was not sleeping well deeply or couldn't get comfortable um and so when i woke up the next
morning i was like fuck i like slept bad like my neck hurt and i was just like really tired
and it just felt like you know the one of those things you just had an off night pillows in the
weird position didn't sleep well and we are working on admits this is the worst timing a huge
project outdoor and a video that uh only recently has been given a sponsor that needs it up quite
soon and so i've been going ham doing this um and trying to get it done before uh it gets hot and
all of that so my neck was stiff i was tired but i didn't really think um too much of it and i just
didn't push myself too hard i was like collecting rocks not doing any back breaking work whatsoever
like I have not been doing the kind of stuff where like I'm getting pots like uh whatever
synoscope syncope episodes so then on Wednesday that day my neck was really sore Mott's did all
of the outside work and I really just like supervised and collected rocks and he went to
a baseball game then I kept collecting the rocks I was like sitting drinking lots of water not
pushing myself on top of taking my meds I was like putting icy hot on like taking Tylenol and
when I finished my neck was still like just as sore but it started to like develop this thing
where when I would stand up all of the blood felt like it was rushing to my head and my ears would
start ringing everything would kind of go like it's kind of like a posse thing where it's kind
of dizzy white but it feels different so like I knew it wasn't the same thing and tons of pressure
in my head and then it would be like kind of like electricity shock in my temples and on like my
cranium skull the back of my head for 10 seconds as soon as I stand up it'll be that for 10 seconds
and then I'm totally fine and it's gone and it was like that's a little weird um so we watched
uh queen charlotte that's when i texted you being like hey my neck's pretty sore um i didn't think
just to basically be like i'll keep you updated i don't think we're going to record in person i
can probably i can like i can try and manage um virtual and so you were like let's just do bonuses
it'll be fine and um we should also note that that thursday the first time that i had pooped
since uh monday or something like that and so already my digestion because i was having anxiety
was bad um and when we had finished recording it's not on camera because i was thinking about
this i was telling you about this like weird head pain that i get when i'm standing up and
i stood up and you were like wait i see it i see it like in your eye and in your face and i was
like oh my god mas is saying the same thing but like i haven't i can't like stand up right in
front of a mirror so I hadn't been able to see it um but again after a few seconds what it goes
away so after we finished recording the bonus episodes unless you were just like rest you know
take it easy chill you also knew that I had the project we're working on and like the brand deal
and how much editing I had to do and so I did that I took it easy and again supervised Mott's
doing all of his stuff and so he wouldn't let me do anything for any of us so again still just like
collecting rocks doing the same feeling no better no worse he then goes to like meet a friend and
again it's thursday night he goes to meet a friend i finished outside at eight and suddenly i just
feel really fucking bad and it's so weird i try any dinner i have no appetite and i still feel
horrible now like my whole body is in agony and the head thing is not just when i stand up it's
when i so when i was sitting down on the ground collecting rocks i stood up so so silly collecting
rocks you'll understand when you see what the project is in the video I stood up and the head
thing happened and then it just didn't really stop and I was like waiting for it to stop and I was
like oh shit I'm gonna go drink more water I'd been drinking so much water I had been on top of
my meds I was like what's going on so tried to eat something I have no appetite at all
my whole body's in agony my face is now really swollen specifically my eyes ears are ringing
and I start taking again I'm continuing to take Tylenol around the clock and then I start doing
um, like a relief tank shirt, THC CBD combo, which is, I haven't had to do that since, um,
I stopped getting my period, but that's like, that is one of the only things that was really
working. And then I'm like kind of back to like my period pain management system and a tens machine,
but I can't take Advil because I'm on beta blockers. So I have to take Tylenol, which is
not as great. So like that is frustrating. So it's like dulling the pain when I'm using all
three of these things together but it's like still persisting in a way that it's not less
it's it's that's helping the pain but the pain's like maintaining um throughout the day without it
so he then comes home we watch another episode of queen charlotte which by the way i fucking loved
um and by the end of it i'm like in total agony i'm almost crying i now have a fever i have chills
i cannot stop shaking my throat sore the front of my neck is sore my neck is sore to the touch
My lymph nodes are swollen and my skin hurts to the touch to the point where like, I'm like
trying to put on pajamas and clothes and it's excruciating pain, but there's nothing there.
There's no rash there, even though it feels like rug burn, but it feels like road burn. Like it
hurts so bad. Even like the lightest touch. I changed like seven times because these sweat
pants were hurting so bad. And then, or this shirt was hurting my skin so bad or whatever it was.
I go to bed I have another horrible night do not sleep well then it's Friday I have no idea what
happened on Friday Mott said I slept like the whole day I don't have a lot of memories from it
um and he tried to get me to go to urgent care but I was just like I can't I have to like I just
need to sleep like I just couldn't stay awake he could hardly get me to eat I was super nauseous
and then my mouth was so dry it took me to forever for to chew anything even if I had water like no
matter how much water I had I had a hard time chewing and swallowing not that like my throat
was closing up it was like I forgot how to do it it was like foreign to me and it's like I had
yeah I've never experienced anything like that before it's different than just like no appetite
it was like my body shut down and I was learning how to like manually have to eat like chew and
swallow food and I like couldn't do it like it kept staying in my mouth and the longer it was
staying in my mouth I was like I'm gonna throw up but like I couldn't get it down even though my
brain I was like trying to tell my brain how to eat but I couldn't do it um and then Mott's came
into the bedroom at like eight and tried to feed me a taco and I couldn't do it a taco out of all
foods because he had he had picked because we always pick up like Mexican food but he we have
like a Friday routine where we get tacos every Friday and I just hadn't had an appetite so it's
like oh maybe this will work and he picked them up and woke me up in bed with them and tried to
get me to eat and I like tried he was like trying to get me to at least eat one taco because he
said I and I again I don't remember he said I didn't eat anything all day and I don't think
I had dinner the night before um and I like finally like choke it down and it feels like
it's not even gonna go all the way down it was so hard and I had to pee and so I'm he's trying
to help me get out of bed and as I'm trying to get up my like legs stop working like so many
attempts i finally stand he's basically holding me the entire room is not only like shaking it
feels like i'm going upside down it feels like it's spinning in a spiral i am sweating i can't
see anything it's the worst vertigo i've ever had to the point where i start thinking i'm
hallucinating because like i can't see it's not even that there's double of people it's like
people are like it's the entire room is spinning and i'm it's worse than a cruise it was so insane
um and i try to take a step and i can't walk my legs like stop working i crumble to the floor
he has to half carry me to the bathroom like under my armpits like so i can go pee sits me on the
toilet goes to get me a glass of water i have to call for him back i don't even think i said his
name because i like i'm slurring my words at this point and i'm skipping words and i'm like i'm like
not being coherent in how i'm talking i'm not responding to him like my response time is so long
and i'm not even answering the questions that he's asking and i'm mixing up words i can't find the
words and um he goes to get me a glass of water and i like call for him to come back because i
can't even keep myself up on the toilet and i'm like falling i'm afraid i'm gonna like fall and
hit my head on the ground and i fully thought i was gonna die i probably should give a trigger
warning for all this this was fucking crazy um and i lay then i lay on the bathroom floor i throw up
which is the only time i threw up during all of this i lay on the bathroom floor i throw up he
wants to take me to the er but it's a friday night and i'm like i i how bad i am now i don't even
know how i'm gonna get to the car like this it reminded me of and it's not as bad as that this
is the second worst thing i've ever physically felt ovarian cyst rupture is the worst and so
when that happened he was like i've taken to the er i'm like i can't get up like and the ambulance
is they're gonna what come here and like carry me and then do do what like i don't know what's
going on like i can't do this and so i knew i'd be in even more pain like sitting in a loud er on
a friday night and i was like i just need to go to bed we'll go to the doctor tomorrow but like
for how i am right now i can't be i don't want to be in an er this is like the worst place
um slept bad and this is like the level of sleep where this is like this was the part that i was
like there's i'm gonna die i couldn't even tell if i was sleeping and i was like having these like
super graphic really scary nightmares or if i was hallucinating like that was the level of like
so fucking gone that i was and take in mind none of the other symptoms have gone so like this is
the headache it's i couldn't even call it a migraine like it's i've never experienced anything
like it before. So I'm in so much pain that every, all of the pain things that I've talked about my
skin, all those things, take a minute. These are all still there. These are all still at a level
fucking 10. Um, and so Saturday morning, first thing we wake up, we go to urgent care, get there.
Doctor immediately sends me to the ER and thinks it could be meningitis. And so I go to the ER,
uh, they see, they see me and I must've looked so bad. And they literally said, stop,
get her a wheelchair and I was like okay and so I'm sunglasses wheelchair hood up just plugging
my ears because light sound everything is just horrible like I I feel awful I can't look at my
phone I can't read anything can still not talk like I'm still slurring my words I'm still like
trying to find my speech thankfully the vertigo is not as bad as it was it isn't spinning as much
because i slept sitting up to try and like regulate my body a little bit um and so uh they
do my they check me i've got super low blood pressure so i'm not they tell me i can't take
my beta blockers and my heart rate is like kind of out it's decently elevated but my blood pressure
is super low they then give me iv fluids painkillers that are specific for migraines
zofran and an eye mask and it yeah it was just it was so bad and at this point the headache any
it's constant sharp shooting pains i kept i described it to the doctor like lightning crotch
that like sudden thing that you get sometimes on your period or if you've endometriosis it was like
being fucked by zeus it was like that constantly it never stopped it was in all points of my head
and if i turned my head it would pick a new spot to add another one and then if i moved any other
if i moved or did anything i rolled over i turned over like and if i stayed still eventually it's
like, no, you have to move over because this is now you're getting pain here. Like it was just
relentless. Um, and they ran a bunch of tests. I still had a fever. I still had chills and was
still freezing cold. My eyes were still really swollen. And they just said they looked off
and still had the, again, worst migraine in the world. And I said to the doctor, I was like,
it doesn't even feel like a migraine. And she was like, I mean, I wouldn't classify this.
This is, this is a, this is a different level of migraine. Um, and then I had a rash on my
shoulder that didn't hurt other than my skin still hurting which they had the skin the skin
hurting it was a nerve thing i was dealing with some like nerve pain issues there and so the rash
on my shoulder they brought in a couple doctors to look at it because it's like a weird pattern
and location and they couldn't figure out what it was because it was like close to where a
meningitis rash would be but it's like wrong location and like is slightly wrong location
and slightly wrong coloring and like texture of it um but so they do all my blood work and it
comes back with no indication of bacterial meningitis so they do physical tests to consider
the viral meningitis but they're pretty sure it isn't but the only way to know for sure is a spinal
tap but a spinal tap comes with so many additional risks specifically nerve pain and that's what they
were concerned about because of my skin hurting and the um zapping in my brain not just like a
pressure headache that they were like this is a nerve thing and like this can cause more nerve
pain and nerve pain is there it's it's not bearable like people can't handle that for that long
um and uh the only way to know would again to be the spinal tap and then the only two of the
infections that would cause viral meningitis can be treated with antivirals and there's a bunch of
other viruses that can cause viral meningitis that can't be treated with anything so it's just like
you wait thing so it's like okay so you might test positive for this on the off chance we don't think
you have it but then you would have to test positive for these two other ones one is like
a hepatitis and the other is a like chicken pox variant. And I don't have symptoms of either of
those. And I haven't had any of either of those and I'm negative for both of those things. So
it, it, it would not worth it. And so they basically said they wanted to watch me for,
um, oh, and then any other form of meningitis just goes away on its own. And so they said they
wanted to watch me for another hour and give me more meds to see how I respond to them because
how I respond to those new meds they would give me would be an indicator if it was a viral or
bacterial thing or if it is meningitis or not um and they want to watch my rash to see if it
worsens or moves especially with the new medication because it should move or get bad if
they're treating with the wrong thing and then reevaluate so they check my vitals again after
an hour by the way the nurse who was um giving me my iv fluid gorgeous think more chestnut tall
was he single i don't know i don't even know if he was straight and i was like and mods is looking
at me and he's like no afterwards i think like yesterday he was like i don't even know if you
were conscious enough to see that nurse he was i think you would have liked him i went oh i noticed
and he was like of course you're dying in the midst of that you still notice this man to be
better uh about finding out information for me okay no i'll tell him next time um but when i
see someone like that built that tall that i'm thinking you can't be straight

scotia bank you're richer than you think
um so they checked my vitals again after an hour and because of how i've responded to everything
and what everything's looking like and my fever's not going up it like went down i think one degree
or something um they're confident that it's not meningitis but some other viral infection um
that's causing all of this so they gave me a prescription for zofran and then i was told me
to take Tylenol around the clock, sleep as much as possible, tons of electrolytes, fluids. And if I
still can't eat or drink, cause I was having a hard time drinking water too, um, or the fever
or the migraine or the rash or any of the symptoms get worse or migrate or don't ease up in the next
week that I have to go back to the ER. Um, and they also like checked me to see if I had like
a bug bite that like was causing this or something. Um, but yeah, so I would say that I, when I
got to the ER, they asked me for the pain scale, like what I was at. And I said, if an ovarian
consist as a 10 I'm at an eight and last night I was at a nine and the only reason why I'm not
right now is because I like can see like if I hadn't had the night before I had where like I
can't see anything and I thought I was gonna die and like everything's spinning and I'm like
throwing up and like can't walk or talk um if I had had that didn't have that I would have said
that the day I'm at the ER is a nine but I was like this is this is an eight because I um didn't
have to crawl on the floor to get here like i could at least stand up out of the car with
matzah's help um and then i would say i left the er at like a like a six pain maybe like a five and
so that for them they were like if you feel any amount better with this then that's good um and
it was yeah the worst time for any of this to happen it was so crazy and um just they told me
just to like monitor all of this and it was so validating first of all my nurse and my doctor
both had pots um and i asked if it was related and they were like no this is not a pot thing but
it definitely is not making it better like your the virus is making you not be able to eat or
drink anything and that's make that's gonna make your pots worse um and that's what they think my
blood pressure they were not sure what that was um but that that was like very nice and validating
and then the ER doctor said thank you so much for coming in she's like I meningitis like literally
had to look at she's like she had to like go back she came back back and forth like looking up the
test she's like I haven't had to do this since like school like this is like so thanks she was
like thank you for coming in because this this is something that like it's not meningitis and I'm so
glad it's not meningitis but it looks like that and like if it was like you wouldn't know and like
because everything it she's like you had me fooled for a bit and um because I you feel silly going
into the ER so it's like really nice for her to be like I'm really glad because you can't get the
meds we're giving you the fluids we're giving you like you are doing everything right and like thank
you for coming in and like please like they called back and like were checking in on me for the last
couple days which is really nice um and she was wonderful and I was like I love women um and I
only interacted besides my hot Morris Chestnut nurse only one man who was uh gave me an eye mask
and a warm blanket he said do you want I'm asking a warm blanket because I was covering my eyes
and i said thank you and then um a secondary doctor who came in because she wanted a second
opinion and he was like she's right and he's like you don't need me and i was like cool love it
thank you no men um and then um yeah so i've just been like taking it super easy i will say it was
a little unsettling like leaving the er because like i didn't feel i felt like slightly better
but like i'm still at like a six of pain scale and like if you like look at the medical pain
sale like a six is like you can't function you can't like live your normal life like it's still
like very bad like this is worse than it was worse than covid it was like it was still bad and i
wasn't i was worried because i was like well i don't have these fluids and i don't have these
meds all you're giving me is zofran like am i gonna get better um so i just was taking it like
radically easy i didn't like text anyone also like still couldn't look at my phone so that was on
saturday that we went to the er and i don't think i i think i texted you on saturday um because i
was like i don't want you my location i didn't want you to look at my location to see i was at
the er um but i also know that you have monster's number and he has your number that like and he
would know if there's anyone he needs to say like hey this is going on it would be you um and
so by tuesday again i just slept pretty much and i didn't i still i was not my appetite's not back
but i still hadn't wasn't eating as much eating too much or that all of my symptoms were still
kind of there but tuesday um my fever and chills went away which was great and then i started
feeling a bit better but it if i wasn't on top of like my med schedule like i have to wake up in the
middle of the night like a period cramp level if i wasn't on top of that i would be in fucking agony
um and i was like a little worried that this was like gonna be my new normal because at least my
period i know it ends so like i was a little fucking concerned um and it took like a relatively
long time for the symptoms to ease up like we're at thursday um no we're at friday we're at over a
week since it's yeah like if it started with the um jaw stuff then that's even yeah but i think if
it started like the most acute thing started on tuesday we're almost at two weeks of that so like
it was like really fucking scary and like really long um then we get to wednesday was when i
realized i hadn't pooped in like a week and i was like oh shit and again the brain fog like this was
it was still taking me like a while to like find words and sentences and stuff and so then
that's in my conversation so then i'm like i haven't even thought about reflecting and then
suddenly i reflect and i go i haven't had a bowel movement in quite a long time and i'm feeling some
pretty intense gas pains now like this shit's fucking hurting um so i then i'm like okay i do
my regular things but the issue is i can't eat i'm like taking zofran but i have to be really
specific about um the textures because the swallowing mental like thing was still there
it's again it's not like my throat was closing up it was like the my brain remembering how to
swallow food and so i couldn't fiber foods were not gonna fucking happen for me like they just
that was not gonna happen it was like i could do whatever i could do and i was eating very small
amounts and i was like i'm not gonna get enough fiber in to do this and so i need to go straight
too laxative because i also was constipated the week before this had happened so like i wasn't
even regular then i text you during the podcast that thursday being like oh my god like or like
i this is the first time i pooped this is so great like um so i do the magnesium citrate drink the
whole bottle it says it'll work between 30 minutes to six hours so naturally at 31 minutes i say it's
not working because i didn't poop and so funny lauren who's in our um patreon group had dm'd me
and he's like oh my god to read the reviews so funny lol and then when i like did my next story
being like shitting my brain down you did not read the reviews and i said no of course i didn't
even though i said i was like i will read them didn't read them um and so then i took uh two
more laxative pills uh which are great and they're more they're usually more gentle but they tell you
to take them at night um you took them after you had the drink what was that the way i got so
desperate so fast because again think about the for me so much of this started from this none of
this was anxiety but because i was anxious and i couldn't sleep i slept poorly i fucked up my neck
got whatever the sickness they're still not sure if my neck made me sick or no they they don't think
my neck made me sick they think i got a virus and then the neck thing was the first got yeah like
that got that made it all worse and then i started having nerve issues because of that and the virus
made my immune system more susceptible to having nerve all of those things um and so for me i'm
like well this all started because of my jaw and my uh anxiety of like the sleep and so i wasn't
getting enough sleep and so then i was anxious then i was like and when i'm anxious i can't poop
and if i'm anxious i'm never gonna poop but i'm like i can't go back to the fucking doctor and be
like well now i can't shit like this is like i needed this to end quickly because i was like i'm
already dealing with all this headache shit i need to be able to poop like i need to not worry about
that so i took i drank the whole fucking drink it didn't work in 31 minutes um so then i took
two three pills which is the dose of um essentially the pill form of the magnesium citrate um and then
i made a smoothie with uh um a fiber a green fiber green drink in there um as well as fruit
which specifically cherries which also make me poop and then um of course i added in the protein
powder I do not eat because it is pea-based protein because it already gives me explosive
diarrhea and then of course I added flax seed and chia seeds and then I was like you know I'm on top
of my pain med schedule so like I can do some outside work and like I it has to be quiet and
like I you know taking it easy sitting I'm not exerting myself or moving my neck um and the way
that every it started like every 20 minutes I would have to pause and Matz would just like look
at me and I would like curl up into a ball and just breathe out the worst gas pain I've had in
my entire life entire fucking life i couldn't even fart i couldn't even fart for days and then
um it started getting closer and closer together and closer and closer together and then i sat on
the toilet for an hour but i like kept trying to get up but i was like nothing's coming out but
like i can't move i shit so much and i started peeing out of my asshole and i was like so i was
sweating i was beyond gripping the walls like i've never had an experience like this before
and i'm that was on thursday right wednesday wednesday yeah it was and then
i had had bubble gut all all thursday which you called you said we're not fucking recording
you're this shit's gonna hit you you're gonna have a second fucking wave like it's and you
were not wrong and then then the second half of thursday wait no today's friday today's friday
yeah no i didn't poop at all thursday not a single poop on thursday i went you're fucking
kidding me finally pooped again today and i was like i actually need this one to be resolved
like stat and um i will say though that uh the the pissing out my butt was a good distraction
um and i was dealing with that that on thursday it was a i was rewarded with the fact that i
if i i didn't have to take my i didn't have to take painkillers and zofran all day and today
is the first day that i i did i took two tylenol this morning um because my head was just not
feeling great but the electricity shocks my head totally gone this one was just i'm my neck still
little sore but look how much i can move it you guys can't see on video but yeah it was like so
much more like a normal neck uh-huh uh-huh and um my just digestion my digestion is still sucky
my appetite is not good uh i remember how to eat now or like consciously i just like i didn't even
think that i forgot how to eat but like my brain did um i that's all fine now it's just my appetite
still not back yet and she said that that's probably going to take uh a while also because
i'm so fucking constipated um and my neck and back are still like a little bit sore and like
a little heavy but i can actually sleep and i think that night before last was like the first
night i was able to nope that's a lot i would say last night was the first night because i wasn't
able to sleep because of my neck and then i wasn't able to sleep because of those goddamn fucking
accidents and like last night i didn't even sleep i slept for four hours last night and it was the
best sleep that i had probably had like the best quality of that sleep um so yeah the worst
fucking time for this to happen because i literally have this goddamn fucking brand deal
and this video is three and a half hours and i'm not even finished filming it let alone editing it
um but that has been my last like week and a half and it's horrible and i don't want i like want to
give people advice of like i there's nothing i could tell anyone because i'm like i don't know
what the fuck caused this i like don't we don't know what virus it was and like i wasn't around
anybody like it was just such a weird fucking thing um and i like always obviously love modern
medicine but i usually think of loving modern medicine because they like figure cures and
things out and like sometimes they can't figure it out but they just have things that they can
like help to like make you feel a little bit better um so my ps yeah and my psa for this is
like i'm someone who i hate doctors i hate the er i'm like really good at just like getting over
something on my own like i'm i'm good at that um and i avoid those things and uh i am so glad that
i went to the er and i told mons i was like i'm so sorry i didn't go sooner you're right i really
should have gone sooner um and this is your psa that like sometimes you like just have to go and
even if they can't figure out what's wrong with you they can like help you and it was they were
the nicest best bedside manner like most like just kindest like and not invalid like just great like
i've never had a doctor saying thank you for coming in thank you like not in like a just polite way
like thank you for like coming in like if you ever feel these symptoms again come in again like it
might not be this the next time and like that like i'm really glad you did this and like we
could help you because yeah you can't handle this like i guess you can really see when someone's
having i think it's like a migraine with an aura or whatever but those ones usually only last
whatever time but like a five-day migraine that's like that bad slurring speech can't talk can't
fucking walk can't see and my eyes looked i don't even know what they look like but matzah think
he's like they almost didn't look like you um that like that's so nice to have someone who's
a medical professional and be like yeah these are all the right things that you should come in for
and so my psa is everyone go go to the doctor go to the er if you have to go to the er
and um if anyone can if anyone figures that out where's doctor house that's all i was thinking
about i was like i need a house here don't hear what the fuck is wrong with me because like it's
still kind of crazy yeah and they were like this is weird i'm like i know yeah well i'm glad you're
feeling better it's been a week i've been keeping keeping up with months but i didn't know it was
as bad as you just explained it yeah i don't even because i don't he didn't even but like how do you
tell somebody that like no he was terrified he like couldn't even tell his mom and he was like
he didn't want to tell us because he also didn't want to jinx it and like even now like he's so
sweet like he just like watches me like just to make sure we're watching tv he just like looks
over to like make sure because i guess like i would go into these things where and like part
of me wondered if i was having those um but what are they called like absence seizures or whatever
where it's like i just like i would just shut down my entire facebook contour i would be in so
what it is much fucking pain that like matz would just like he just constantly would just check
in on me to like see where i am like make sure my tens machine was like still stuck to me or
um whatever it was but it was yeah he was like so i felt so bad he was so worried because i was
like holy shit if i was him in this situation i'd be so fucking terrified um because yeah it was
like we're it was it was the issue was i think it wasn't as worse pain as the ovarian cyst it was
under that but i knew what that was and so this was rough so love my man um and knew he was going
to keep you updated i was like perfect it was so bad but yeah that was where that's that's why you
haven't had episodes in a while everybody um and um that's why me shitting my brains out on the
toilet was just kind of the icing on the cake on the cake of the week I've had but I'm feeling a
lot better good and I'm sure like shitting also helped flush a lot whatever it was out of your
system too do you know what was ironic though and I went not again the position that I was in because
I was sitting on the toilet for so long when I finally stood up I went oh there's a spot my back
that hurts and I was like I can't do this again like I cannot do this a fucking again and I was
like i'm being like so babying with my body and being like so worried about it which again the
doctors were like i don't know what happened first like i don't know what exacerbated exacerbated
what or if like you had something that is um appearing similar to meningitis like if your
back is like the neck part is part of the virus that's just happens to be similar to meningitis
but it's just not meningitis because like i guess it doesn't have to just be there can be other
unnamed viruses that give you that same very stiff um neck thing so yeah now my biggest plague is
i've got bug bites and like i wish i like was pooping a little more but not that but not liquid
out your butt no i was like my asshole's a nice solid shit no i had a solid shit today
and that's already rare for me I'm an IBSD girl like IBSC is not where I'm comfortable like I'm
comfortable with diarrhea and so like when I have to give myself medically induced diarrhea I go
give me back my everyday diarrhea like I'm I know that one me and her are good we're comfortable
so that's my story thank you all for listening

how was your week basic as hell um i did start watching only murders in the building well
restart one i think the first time that i start watching it i had to be completely out of it
because yeah you had no idea it didn't make sense to me that you had these comedic actors and i
thought it was a very serious show and the way i kept trying to tell you it wasn't and you were
like i saw the first episode i'm like did you are you sure about that so i re-watched it um
and i was like this is so much lighter i don't know what i had to i don't know what where my
mind was i think that you watched something no i watched it because it said do you want to watch
the second episode when i hit it on hulu and i was like i don't even remember watch the first one i
remember seeing all these people and i was like i just had to be out of it i had to be out of it i
was like yeah that's so funny um but it's good it's i got to the episode where i think you were
like um watch this one from a directorial uh the silent episode yeah i isn't that great it's good
oh i look conceptually he did it he did a twitter ama afterwards like talking about all of it
um and he's a deaf actor um and i just thought like conceptually for a first season of a comedy
show like i you know if it's a what's his name mike sure yeah if it's a mike sure show i would
have been like oh not surprised but i was like first first no is it second season this first
season yeah of uh of this show with like this is not someone who does this is it's not like
big twists and or like strong choices like that so i was i was impressed by um by that and i
thought it was like a really yeah a very cool concept for the episode yeah yeah so i actually
started that one like twice because also like i have been watching watching watching episodes and
we got to that episode and it was like three in the morning i was like again i have nothing to
do tomorrow so i was like i'll watch it but then it started and i said no i have to read and i need
fresh eyes for this yep yep um but yeah it was good there's an episode of Grey's Anatomy that's
that's actually the one that Denzel Washington directed oh yeah I've never seen an episode like
that um let me not carry him in um um yeah Ellen Pompeo got into a little verbal skedaddle about
uh so that the that one is also very well done so if you if you want to see another example of that
is it for like from a deaf perspective or is it just it was a medical issue that the person had
where they couldn't hear any here yeah oh cool cool cool cool okay yep i like that yeah so and
it's like a it kind of is a stand and you don't have to watch anything else to know what's
happening um it's kind of a standalone episode so um sick yeah so i've been watching it it's good
uh i think my favorite part is martin short well have you gotten to jane lynch yet
so i just finished i think i've watched the uh i just might have watched that one yesterday
jane lynch when jane lynch is there and we get more martin short and uh steve martin together
that's when i'm i'm loving it someone comes in in second season who i i i don't love some of that
storylines um but uh there's just like pockets of it that are great and then the last season
that's why i had stopped watching i mean where i was like no they made the announcement of this
person you said i'm not watching this yeah and then you said i'm not watching this and also
she's doing drama and i was like it's not a fucking drama like this is a comedy um and then
um then you have the the final season no not the last it wasn't a she it was uh when michael
rapaport or something oh yeah that's who it was where i was like i'm not gonna watch the show
anymore yeah i don't even remember what he is in this he doesn't play a good guy like if he plays
a cop as he does okay cop energy um but uh then the most recent see is it the most recent or last
two seasons you have meryl streep and mark ruffalo and it's great so like re-energize me to watch
to want to watch yeah i think it's like i think the store for me it's not the story that i'm
hooked to i'm like really hooked to the performances and like the little bits again
specifically martin short and it is so fucking funny and um just the shit they get into at
different points yeah it's a lot of just like goofs and spoofs yeah to me i put it in the same
um like it's easy watching like uh abbott elementary but like i would compare abbott
elementary to me is like a modern family like level classic where it's like that level tv and
then um i would i would put abbott elementary modern family new girl friends there and then
i would put uh only murderers as like a i was thinking of like um it's not uh this show is
is way darker than this show but um um you're the worst where it it's a comedy but it's dark but
like that show was so good but like nobody talks about it now where people are still talking about
modern family like in like it's like something of the time yeah this like i i find like only
murders is something that like i wouldn't just pop on one episode like random which i would do
the abbott like if i'm like comfort show throw on an episode of abbott this i would watch it in
yeah only would want to watch it in sequence but like i would watch it again in sequence like i
like it enough to do i like it that much to do that and it's comforting and it's not like stressful
but yeah i can't think of a show that there was a show in my top of my head that i was like oh
it's more like a this to me um but now i can't unfortunately remember what that show was so
that's fine but i'm glad you're watching it's easy yeah an easy watch very much so
and then i wanted to talk about uh brandy um brandy brandy brandy brandy norwood
she of course descendants is coming out next month which we should do um yep but she is also
her and monica are in ariana's boy is mine i just had to ask and then also there's a remix of the
song that the two of them are singing on which you need to listen to it's very good well now
it's going to become because i it's probably like my no offense to ariana like i like i love that
album it's my least favorite song on the album because i just like the original more and so
putting them on give me a little bit i'm gonna i'm gonna like this a lot more and then she also
brandy also has an a24 movie that's coming out in september shut the fuck up a24 are you a fan

didn't want i didn't read what it's about i like to like be fresh but um
