Health and Octummber
4 years ago
General
Okay, y'all might know this from my last month journal, but I feel I should update and explain a bit more.
You might have noticed that my schedule is slipping pretty badly this month for daily Octummber stories, and it is. That's because I have two main conditions that affect my health, and most especially, my energy levels.
One's called Ehler-Danlos syndrome, which is a full-body joint and tissue disorder that weakens every bit of me and gives me chronic pain. It also gives me heart valve issues, which means I don't get good blood circulation and I'm pretty weak, which is one part of the fatigue.
The other is chronic myeloid leukemia, which is currently kept in check with a medicine called Tasigna. This stuff worsens the fatigue a lot, to the point where some days it's hard to get the energy to even make a bowl of cereal or do laundry, when otherwise I just want to sit and rest or sleep. It's extremely difficult, and due to the fact that I use the phrase "kept in check" instead of "going into remission", you may guess that it's a lifelong treatment, according to my oncologist.
I've got my ups and downs, and my ups are when I do most of my writing. Due to this, my schedule's slipped pretty hard, and I apologize for my watchers or people who just like my stuff, since it's hard to post daily when I'm rarely able to get the energy to do a lot of my work. I'll do my very best, I assure you, and I'll try to finish off every prompt on the list, even if it's late or overruns into November.
Thanks for reading, and I apologize again. I hope y'all have a nice day. <3

I don't remember if I heard about the second condition, but, erf, the combination, fuck. Your well-being and rest comes first!
