You’re hair looks amazing in this video, it’s so curly and bouncy! This product looks so promising for potsie issues. I’m glad you mentioned the issue with scratching from your wheelchair. As another wheelchair user sometimes there are little issues no one else notices. As it gets warmer I get so dizzy and spend weeks lying down every time I stand for more than 5 mins. And I live in the UK so we’re not exactly talking 1000 degrees here XD. I’m chronically cold the rest of the year though. I love these reviews and I’m so glad you’re back to doing them, I just can never afford the items :/. I recently bought a £20 back massager to help with my pain and I really had to think about it before buying. I’m still yet to get my pots diagnosis. I brought it up years ago and my doctor told me that I’m just a skinny teen 🤦🏻‍♂️. My heart rate keeps jumping to 150+ when I stand which just feels horrible and I don’t really have great ways to manage it. I think when things get back to normal I’ll really push for a diagnosis. Anyways, I’m so glad you’re back with us. I hope you stay safe and the chronic illness gods smile upon you x 💜🥄🦓

My opinion silver jewelry goes with anything! I’m so happy you are doing so well! You did a great review.

I am so happy to see you making videos again, I know you've been through so much. I am also skeptical with medical devices. With spinal cord nerve damage certain treatments just don't work like it would for people with diabetic nerve pain. In recent years I've noticed I'm having issues with heat and cold. I'd trust a review from you over someone I hardly know. It's stylish for sure!

I LOVE my embr wave!! So happy they reached out to you!

Hi, my dysautonomia is pretty bad, I can't stand anything above 20C as I sweat bucketloads, but can't stand the cold much either. do you still use it and how well does it work / how long does the battery last?

I bought it and made sure they knew you sent me. Fingers crossed! Woke up at 3 AM hot and nauseous (probably because I ate cheese, thanks body). Hoping this will help me with nausea because cold does me so much good typically. Thanks Christina!

this seems like a miracle product and if i can ever afford it im definitely going to try it

Sarah I’m getting a custom wheelchair right now, and I had to crowdfund for the money because of how expensive they are. The first quote I got was $10,000!!!

Who knows if this would be possible good for hot flashes? This girl is on fire and doesn’t help living in a humid area.

What a blessing! I'm so happy for you 💓

Awe! Always good to see your cheerful disposition! This looks like it may be a good winner for quite a few of us Zebras!

So so happy for u!!! 🎉🎉🙌🙌 And thank u so much for the review bc I've been very curious! I've held off only bc it's really out of my price range but I've really wanted to try it. Im the same as u w getting so much more nausous n dizzy ect w frm the heat n after moving to FL I def could use one!! 😊 Great job! I really liked that u asked ur mom n sis to try to! Hope it continues to help u! 💜

This looks SO AMAZING OMG! I NEED ONE! Thank you so much for the review!

👏🏾 you look beautiful and good to hear the excitement and cheerfulness in your voice

Hi! I love, and watch, all your videos! I've learned so much, which is great, because I got diagnosed with POTS and EDS a few months ago (MCAS is suspected as well, I have every symptom, just need it confirmed) on top of the other chronic illnesses I have been dealing with. We are fine tuning my treatment plan now! I have a weird spoonie hack for you too! Literally doing anything is hard, and I'm extremely sensitive to temperature changes because I cant regulate mine. And everything hurts. Literally doing anything. So I have started keeping a heating pad in my bathroom that is wearable, for when I'm in here and sick for long periods of time. Its been AMAZING. It has an elastic strap that wraps around your waist and velcro's shut so you have your hands free. It's so weird, but I highly recommend it for anyone with similar issues 🤣😁 I hope you feel better soon Christina!! Love, Christine

Thank you!!!! I have been watching this product since it came out and just could not figure out if it would work for potsies given the science behind it, and was worth the money! I am so glad you did this review and timed it during their sale 💜 also so glad to see you back doing some videos! ☺️

You are so beautiful. It’s so lovely to see you. You are such an inspiration to those who have chronic illness. Sending you lots of love and hugs to you and your family. Xx❤️❤️

love your sweatshirt. always great to see you

It sounds fascinating, Christina. I have real issues with heat intolerance and so might have to start saving! xxxxxxxxxxx

It looks so cute on you! I’m so glad it’s working for you! Don’t apologize for giving bad reviews... you give great reviews!

I'm so so glad you were able to try it out & give us an honest review! I personally have been stalking them since they came out & hoping the price would go down in time. My b'day is later this month so I'm thinking I'll ask for this bc I deal w/POTS too & all the heat/cold intolerance. It was interesting bc I could tell a difference in your rosey cheeks once you did a cold series, then w/in a few mins you looked cooler. You looked particularly refreshed in your very last clip, so I'm thinking it may be bc its helping you sleep better. Thanks again for reviewing this, it was very helpful ♥

i love this series

I have the Embr wave for my dysautonomia. I love it. I’m glad it helps you too! We are all in the same boat together until they find a cure. Love your channel.

If this is for real, I’m so so excited to get my hands on one. Summer is always a MISERABLE time of the year for me, (nausea, pre-syncope, headaches, fatigue) and if this can help at all, I’d be so so happy! Update: I just bought one! Wish me luck, hope it helps!

@@nos676 The product itself seemed to help, the warming feature is very comforting, and the cooling wave did seem to help my heat flashes/intolerance. However, I’ve noticed that, when on the cool setting, my Wave seems to overheat, completely ruining the cold effect. Could be just a fluke, but that’s what I’m looking at after five months of inconsistent use. 🤷‍♀️

Thanks for sharing your experience with this product. It may help me when I have a bath I always nearly faint when get out due to heat. Enjoyed the video love you 😘😘

I’m gonna ask for this for my birthday. I would love to spend time with my family out side in the summer.

Omg that is *AMAZING* and I need that bracelet too! For me it's the cold..No tolerance for it at all!! Full blown raynauds' to boot. love your nails

So glad you’re reviewing this product. Like you, I have several heath issues...I have known about this, but the price kept me from buying it. And it is an unknown to me just how well it works. So seeing you trying it is very helpful. Thank you for doing this.

I’m glad it works for her!

Interesting. I have POTS/dysautonomia and hot flashes from surgical menopause. Something to consider.

It looks like your lymphedema is getting better- did the stockings and this help?

I hear that dysautonomia, I loved trees and water because of it. Tx for sharing.Blessings to the journey and good health for all

love this content. keep it up

I keep seeing that bracelet advertised to me on Instagram and I've always been curious about it since I have dysautonomia/POTS. Thanks for reviewing it!

I want it sooo bad. I’m watching this freezing and my room is set to 75. I also am heat intolerant. I have a cooling headband that you soak. It just looks like a thick headband.

I miss your videos so much. Glad you are back.

You look absolutely beautiful!💕

I have been really wanting to know if this works...I have such bad hot flashes cause of health issues. I will have freezing cold feet but dripping in sweat.. I love that you are doing these reviews. I have missed your Vlogs and videos, so I am so happy to have these reviews.

Right now they are offering $70.00 off and you have the option of making monthly payments. Thank you giving an honest review. I was considering getting one because I have a horrible time trying and failing to regulate my body temperature. Because of the extensive nerve damage I can’t regulate my temperature and going in and out of buildings and cars that are all different temperatures makes me physically sick with nausea, dizziness, migraines and vomiting when really bad episodes hit. I have been sleeping with covered ice packs, silicone water bottles that can be frozen or heated as needed. One on the back of my head and neck and a second one down from the first one and in between my shoulder blades and #3 goes on my lower back right above where I get a lot of nerve pain and am hyper sensitive to anything touching that area . If I could use the bracelet and not need the ice packs it would be amazing. I have actually thought about getting a vest because it gets so bad when I leave the house, but like you their ugly. I still use the ice packs in a pink head wrap that Velcro’s in place for migraines. Whenever I get really hot putting something cold on the back of my neck drastically changes my body temperature quickly. Learned that trick when we had a student get heat stroke from playing outside in 90+ degrees Fahrenheit temps. That information came in handy when my husband got it while doing yard work.

I get overheated in the summer and I have a cooling towel that works really well. It lasts at least 8 hours :)

“Never a fun kid to babysit” I have never related to anything more

I was just looking into it, summers are always so hard for me! My main concern is the bulkiness, I have very small wrists and I already wear a fitbit higher up my arm to track my heart rhythm I constantly wear a wrist brace on the other side too

This sounds great for the chemo for lupus symptoms where you go from a Popsicle to being a molten puddle. I have the worst time getting to sleep because of it.

It looks amazing! The price is too high for me so I'll have to stick with blanket half on, or one sleeve up, one down on a jacket, and instant ice packs in Summer.

“It’s just cute”😂

Wow this is so cool! Thanks for sharing! I experience so many issues with temperature due to the same conditions. I just don’t like how big this is... can the square part be on the top like a watch would be?

This thing is great! I have it too I just wish it was a bitttttttt smaller hahah

Maybe worth adding that it's only available in Canada and the USA. As I got very excited about this and am now sad I can' get one to the UK haha!

Christina! I am hypersensitive to heat and hot environments due to autism sensory issues. Would you recommend one of these? Edit: I have a cooling vest. I mostly use it for when I want to go outdoors and participate in things, and it is really nice. It got me through being in Hawaii in June.

You could et rubber wheel rim protectors for your chair

As you can see from my photo, I rely heavily upon my wheelchair. I wonder if you could strategically place a little clear nail polish around the outside edges or if that would interfere with the venting mechanism, too? Maybe they will come out with a little clear bumper guard like the ones for cell phones. I've just put this on my Christmas wish list with my husband. It's a bit more expensive than I feel comfortable asking for Mother's day.

This was the most recent video I could find. I joined an MCTD group on Facebook and I was reading someone's post and you just came to mind. I just wanted to say I miss your videos and I hope you are doing well.

I am very interested in this might help me temp control

I am interested in investigating this product, the over heating and chills are horrible especially in the warmer months.

Yikes Christina! Who cares if they would clash.... You need your fingers to stay in place😬. That’s really neat that it goes throughout your body. I used a new kind of the head and shoulders shampoo..... yeah today i used it and turns out that a shampoo can make you pass out! All is good though. What Spoonie wouldn’t want to fly under the radar?! ❤️

I need help regulating my temp too. I get really sick with heat.

I don't have any medical diagnosis for my temperature being all over the place but I want one of these just for the better sleep alone

Rest in Peace, Christina. 💛

I’ve heard about those things, think a friend of mine in the zebra community has one even or tried one. I haven’t tried a gadget like that myself but if ever having the chance I’d probably give it a try as I can’t control my body temperature well. I tend to be on the cold side, and often struggle with feeling cold and having cold hands and/or feet (especially cold feet) all while easily overheating randomly. I can see one massive con with this bracelet and that’s the size of that unit on the inside of the wrist. I’m a wheelchair user, I do have a Smart Drive so I don’t have to self propel as much any longer, but I do vary between pushing and using the Smart Drive so I’d still risk scratching such a bracelet on my wheelchair. At least the Push tracker for my Smart Drive can be under my sleeve and it’s not larger than a normal watch on the inside of wrist as the display is facing up like wearing an actual watch or something like a Fitbit. If I was to ever buy one of these things I’d probably only use it at home and especially at night, but wear it less or not at all while I’m using my wheelchair which pretty much rules out using the device anytime I’m away from home 😫

That’s great that they sent you a free product for review, but that’s definitely still all about marketing for the company. It might be helpful to let viewers know this is a free product review. You’re getting compensated in a sense for providing your opinion. They’re not going to send these to all viewers just because they want to help us.

O M G I NEED IT!!! I'm forever overheated in my room. The ac hates me in my house and I'm always waking up in the middle of the night when i roll over and I have a huge movement in my spine and then all of a sudden I get a huge heat wave. My temperature is always back and forth and I can't get it to just pick one. If I could get that regulated that would be amazing. Sleeping, I'm overheated, going to sleep I'm freezing. My mom is forever falling asleep in the living room because she curls up under a ton of blankets because she's cold. This would be awesome to 1. Keep her awake or 2. Keep her warm.

It’s not giving me the $70 off that is advertised on their site. I’d love one of these, but once again it’s a company who clearly doesn’t care about pricing accessibly, so I doubt I’ll be able to any time soon. It pusses me off that things designed for us are priced so we can’t get them, and insurance companies obviously don’t cover this kind of thing. I’m happy you like it though.

God bless you you are a beautiful strong 💪🏼 girl I have ever seen I’ll be praying 🙏 for you

"Cool Medics" makes a cute cooling vest for equestrians. I go to horse shows and I hear a ton of good reports about them. I have one for my dog too. Less bulk is a big deal. Check em out.

As far as chills during infusion have you tried adjusting your rate? (I know you probably have) I have the same problem at anything below a 2 hour infusion I know some things can’t be adjusted though I just get fluids for my pots

Yeahhhhhhhh Christina saw that you made a video . I stopped everything for you. I do hope you are safe

I’m so gutted they don’t ship to the UK! 😭

Yoo wat pilloew do u haave that grey squishy thing

I've been stalking this company as well.. and now with my mom having a TBI, she gets cold with the A/C on, so she'll turn the heat on even though it's over 80° outside🥵. It's worse at night cause she turns the whole system off, and my room, being the smallest, gets the hottest really fast.

Rest in peace. 💛

Any idea of this is pacemaker compatible?

I want to try this..but I live in Australia and they dont have international shipping 😭

Ugh. It's twice as much in Canadian dollars. 🤦 Our exchange rate sucks so much right now!

My mother had a thyroid issue and she gets constant hot flashes . How much is this device???

9 minutes into the video trying to convince my partner that I need one

I want one so bad. I have to have my window by my head open a foot just to stay cool during the winter which sucks for my wife. I'll be going along then bam it hits me and I'm sweating while everyone else is cold. It's either the EDS or all the dang meds, and there's a lot of meds I'm on but I'm getting close to 50 years old and it's getting worse. Not sure how I can afford it but if it does get a good review I'll try and find the funds.

buy an Arduino and a Peltier device and build it yourself. That's about all it is. The micro controller doesn't even have to be close to the heating pad.

Don’t waste your money. It simply cools a little area on your wrist. Which is supposed to cool your whole body. LOL sorry
