Hi Everyone!

We've just posted a video on our MinuteVideos channel about the problems of soaring prices of medication and the quickly rising number of families suffering as a result. People are forced to spend a lot of money on life-saving medication, get into financial difficulty and sometimes even pass away because they can no longer afford the medication they so desperately need.... This needs to change!

Human vs. Virus | COVID-19 EP.1

Hey Guys!

We've just launched a very unique story, written as a fictional series inspired by the current pandemic. We wanted to create this series in order to help educate you guys on the importance of social distancing. We wanted to do this in a fun and entertaining way through the perspective of the virus, while also adding an educational twist of what happens within our body and the immune system.

We'd love to hear your feedback on the series, what do you love and dislike about it :)?

I Cured My Irritable Bowl Syndrome With an Unbelievable Treatment

Our submitter suffered through a lot of stomach pain only to find out he had a parasite. In order to remove the parasite, he had to consume tons of antibiotics, creating endless health issues in the future. The antibiotics destroyed all of his healthy gut bacteria until he could no longer eat any food other than white rice - he was miserable! But then he did some research online and figured out... hmm, I may need to use my niece's dirty diaper to cure my stomach problems. Watch to find out how and why this was a life-changing remedy :P!

It's a weird one, but it's worth the watch ;)

NOTE** Please DO NOT do this at home. We advise you to speak to your local GP and Gastroenterologist as this not a practice that should be done at home or by yourself. ALWAYS seek professional medical advice before making any decisions.

I Took a Needle to My Face and Popped It

Have you ever nearly lost your life cause of a cavity? Well, our submitter did. After going to the dentist to get her cavity filled, the dentist made a huge mistake. Weeks after her procedure she was still in so much pain, but all the doctor did was ignore her cries. Eventually, her infection got so bad she grew a lump the size of a ping pong ball on her face! She tried everything to fix it, from popping it to botox but nothing helped. The mass grew so big in her face and stayed with her up until adulthood. There was nothing that she could do and things were starting to get serious. Watch to find out how she managed to sort out her tooth problems and what YOU need to avoid!

We chose this story because we think that dental hygiene and care is important. Often times people ignore symptoms, especially in the mouth, and don’t realize how serious it can be. If her infection wasn’t repaired it could be fatal. We encourage everyone to take care of their health and to trust your gut with the signs and symptoms that your body is telling you.

Hey Guys! Don't worry we've still got more health related content in the works - we've just been focusing on posting content to our main channel (Minutevideos) during these times 🥺

We'll be sure to continue sharing all of the health related videos just for you guys :).

My Period Cramps Landed Me In a Mental Hospital

Our submitter, a hopeful, happy and loving character was excited to find out she had finally reached womanhood, only to discover she would be passing chunks and feeling extreme ovulation pains.

She had convinced herself that this was a normal thing that every woman felt.. but that was her biggest mistake and the beginning of all her problems. After being misdiagnosed countless times by the doctors and placed on endless medication, she was thrown into a mental hospital because no one believed her. But the pain didn't stop there... even after her release she was ridiculed by all her friends until she was forced to just live with the pain. Thankfully in her later years, she did some research and came across a page about Endometriosis. She was able to learn a lot about the condition, surrounding herself with a wonderful group of supporting, strong women to help her diagnose and manage her condition.

We chose this story because we believe these conditions cannot go unnoticed. 10% of women worldwide have endometriosis - that’s 176 million globally, with infertility rates as high as 30-50%. We encourage you to not ignore your symptoms and to go see your local GP, and always get a second opinion if needed. We hope that this can raise awareness around this topic and help women build a better future for themselves!

HG | I Chose My Life Over My Baby's

Our submitter, and loving mother, suffers from a rare condition called Hyperemesis Gravidarum through her pregnancies - a condition that essentially turns you into a walking zombie. It got to the point where she could no longer even take care of her other two children. By her 7th week of pregnany she became incapable of eating, caring for herself and even surviving. Her kidneys were giving out and her body no longer absorbed the nutrients she and her baby needed to survive.. she had no choice.. it was either her or the baby. If she keeps the baby, how can she survive and pay the bills? but if she doesn't... she loses a life. Watch to see what happens...

MS | I Can No Longer Control My Limbs

We wanted to share this woman's story showing her discovery and diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. She slowly uncovers that she is losing control of her limbs, almost like a rag-doll. It affects her daily life activities and makes tasks like working and eating extremely difficult. Through panic, she still manages to find positivity in her condition and remains hopeful for the future. This story, like many others, should encourage those who are dealing with any illness that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and that an illness doesn't mean you can not live a healthy fulfilling life.

We hope this video can help bring together those who also deal with this disease or know anyone that does!

Vasculitis | I Felt Like My Legs Were On Fire

Dinky; our main character suddenly wakes up to excruciating pain in her legs but doesn't know why it hurts so much. She goes many days of having her mum ignore her symptoms and doctors misdiagnose her before she learns what her condition is. She suffers through raging blisters and hundreds of spots all over her legs as her immune system began attacking her blood vessels.
We want to raise awareness around this condition so that people get checked sooner and not ignore their symptoms.

My Mum Was Terminally Ill With Lung Cancer

On Christmas Eve, my mum was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. We were all absolutely devastated... how could someone so selfless and caring have such an awful thing happen to them. After months of coming to terms with the situation, it was time for my mum to begin her chemotherapy, needless to say, I was scared out of my mind for her. The thought of her being ill or losing hair was horrifying, not only for me but also her. Luckily, the first day of being home wasn't so bad, she was running about washing all the clothes and feeding the animals as if nothing had changed! Unfortunately... a few days later she got really sick and was rushed to the hospital, luckily the doctors said that she only had tonsilitis and was able to be sent back home. When she got home we noticed she was still so sick... she wasn't getting any better as much as we kept hoping. On Valentine's day, she was rushed to the hospital yet again, so I jumped into the ambulance with her and off we went. When we got there her breathing was really bad, she looked at me and said "I feel really sick..." before she collapsed. At this point I was erratic, panicking because I didn't know if my mum would make it. I had to pull myself together for her sake and be there to support her. Later in the week, we discovered she had pneumonia in her lungs and sepsis due to her weak immune system from chemotherapy. At this point we were told she only had 5% chance of living through it... we were crushed. Our whole family no longer knew what to do, we didn't think she could make it and hope was slipping from our fingertips. My brother and I would always sit by her bedside every day, bringing her favorite clothes and playing music to help her stay calm. Eventually, with the help of the brilliant doctors and the antibiotics, she was able to pull through, it was a miracle!
Considering she couldn't eat from loss of appetite and barely breathe without the help of oxygen tanks - she had made a near to impossible recovery! We're back at home now, knowing that my mother had beat the odds.

Remember, always keep your family close to you, tell them that you love them as you never know what could happen and to never give up hope when times get dark, things will eventually lighten up.

"Depression is kinda like drowning. At first, you're still bobbing up and down, still having those quick moments to catch your breath. You try to wave your arms around to show people you need help but after a while of no one noticing, you decide to reserve that energy just to try to survive, to keep your head above the toxic water. You hold your breath and tell yourself that none of these negative thoughts are true and to not let it completely consume you and you're successful for a while - still catching some air every now and then. But after a while, after you struggle and struggle, you start to run out of energy. And then you slip and let a thought get through. You're weak. After a while, more of them get to you. You try to hold your breath but you just can't hold it anymore. And then your air runs out, your energy is completely gone and you can do nothing but succumb and just let it in. And that's when they take over your mind completely. Flooding all of your thoughts. Regret. Shame. Anxiety. Guilt. Resentment. Mistakes. Unsaid words. Insults. Criticism. Pain. Hate. Anger. Envy. Grief. Anguish. They all come for you in one go. You can't do anything other than just let go and slip under the weight of them all. Until everything is a blur and all you can see is the tiny little circle of light that's moving farther and farther away from you. You look over your life. You don't see the good. You don't see the positive. You don't see the light. You can't even see the love. All you see is darkness. And that's where you stay. Right at death's door but never actually getting there. Right within arms reach of the light but not being able to find your way back to it.

Until one day, you find a way to pour everything out. You write about it. You speak about it. You cry about it. You spit it all out. You cough it all up. You let everything out. And suddenly you start to feel a little air coming in your lungs again. The light suddenly shines just a little brighter and then even a little brighter until you start to think that maybe... just maybe there may just be some hope yet..."

16/02/2020

Hi I have a super rare neurological disorder called VS or Visual snow or Visual static. It's such a rare syndrome that it took me 19 years to discover it, I thought I saw the world like everyone else around me but I was sadly wrong. Can you believe that I thought it was perfectly normal to see static? I remember as a child I would go to my mother and ask, "what are those tiny flickering lights I see?" My mom would give me a confused look and say, "OH those are called floaters sweetie, that's normal." So, that's pretty much why I thought it was normal. BUT NOOO it wasn't floaters, floaters are the tiny see-through squiggly shapes you see if you stare at something bright over a long period of time. I see white, black, red, grey tiny dots blinking in-and-out, covering my whole vision, it's constantly happening, 24 hours a day, I can't escape it. It gets worse when I close my eyes or if I'm in a dark room. In complete darkness I see a kaleidoscope of dancing static. I don't know what the color 'black' looks like, and I've never seen darkness before. All I see is dancing colors moving like an old TV static. I hate it. What's worse is, this is just one of my symptoms. People with VS suffer from tinnitus, palinopsia, Starburst effect, or other visual effects such as glare, halos, odd colors and shapes, or double vision (diplopia), depression, anxiety and many more. As an artist this is a huge obstacle that I can never escape, there is no cure, no treatment. I felt like it's all in my head, but it's not. I was online and found an organization called Visual Snow Initiative. They're the only people in this world who are researching this rare disease. They found out that VS has nothing to do with the eyeball but it's the processing of the Cortex of the brain that's screwing up, like it's not functioning right. SO I'M writing this because this rare disease needs to be known!!! I'm sure so many people are out there like me, I was confused and lost, BUT you're not alone. This is a real illness and you're not crazy!!!"

I Can't Stop Pulling out My Eyelashes

I have a condition called trichotillomania - it's where I get strong impulses to pull out my hair uncontrollably. I usually pull my eyelashes and eyebrows, but it varies from person to person. I was diagnosed with this condition when I was only in fourth grade and it has haunted me since. People who have trichotillomania may also have other disorders, such as depression, anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). I have always had severe anxiety and found comfort in pulling out my hair... it just calmed me. I remember a classmate came right up to my face, invading my personal space and moved my bangs before saying "Why do you have no eyelashes..." in disgust. I Couldn't speak! I was so embarrassed as everyone around me heard everything. There's no cure for this condition, it can only be managed by controlling impulses and finding a way to distract myself, but I just can't stop! I'm 27 now and I still struggle... I find myself pulling out eyelashes constantly without realizing and will even pick up a tweezer and begin pulling. The urge to do it is unbearable and it's so difficult for me to keep under control. For the moment, I still have a full set of eyelashes and eyebrows even though they are becoming so sparse and I don't know how much longer they will last... I use eyeliner and eyeshadow to distract others from the fact that I'm starting to get bald patches. It's so frustrating! Hopefully, one day I can say no and begin fighting back against this mental illness!

If you guys have a similar issue we'd love to see your pictures and suggestions on how you overcame trichotillomania!
