    Great video. I also have chronic illnesses and i carry a lot of things with me as well. People make fun of me for carrying so a big bag but unless they were in our shoes they wouldn't understand. I write my appts on paper as well like you. This is the best what's in my bag video I've seen in a long time. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you for watching and for your kind comment! It is hard for others to understand how much we have to carry for daily life. I love meeting others who keep an old school calendar. It’s sometimes hard to keep our medical lives straight. I hope you are doing well in your journey. ❤️

    Thank you so much for this video! As a person with multiple chronic illnesses/allergy issues, this was very validating! I always carry a massive bag too lol (plus epipen). I love the idea of Krazy glue for small cuts, as well as the list of conditions/medications in your wallet. I'm definitely adding the medications/conditions list to mine now! I use Liquid Skin for a deep cut on my fingertip that periodically (or with a well-placed paper cut) will reopen and not heal well on its own. It's kind of like a superglue but with a brush-on end. I work with my hands a lot (used to be in a factory setting), so keeping bandaids on was a constant struggle. Using the Liquid Skin or superglue instead definitely helped with that!

    Enjoyed your video! Just subscribed. My daughter has Gastroparesis and Hypoglycemia, so I carry extra things for her in my Neverfull bag just in case. So I can appreciate your video. I carry a small ice pack pouch (from TJ Maxx) in case her body decides to pass out or get whoozy. I just add some ice. I also carry a peppermint oil roll on for nausea episodes. I have a couple of her nausea pills in my bag just in case we’re out and she forgets hers or runs out. Lots of snacks, especially sweet ones for the hypoglycemia. I also carry an emergency contact card with her diagnosis, her blood type and my contact info. 💜

I’ve heard it works and totally forgot about it until your comment. And I have Zofran tucked away in my bag too. We just never know, it’s sometimes hard to explain. Thank you for commenting and I am sending continued strength to you and your daughter.
