Medical Issues
4 years ago
First off, let me preface this with I am fine financially, and do not need any assistance paying for stuff. Me and the kitten wife have an HSA that we have had the foresight to put quite a bit of money into that. So all my treatments are paid for.
Now then, you may have noticed 13 Tales and stories in general are coming out way slower. Basically, I've been suffering really, really bad debilitating headaches, sometimes to the point I can only lay there and wish I was dead. (Note am not going to actually kill self)
Tried a couple different treatments nothing worked, been seeing neurologist and had an MRI done. Good news, I'm not dying. No tumors, brain damage or diseases. Bad news, I'm pretty much just going to suffer from chronic headaches for the rest of my life. This is not... Exceptionally surprising, I've dealt with them my entire life, it's just it's gone from once or twice a week to every single freaking day.
So the good news. After the MRI, as of today we have a treatment plan that will actually work. I get to inject myself in the leg every month with a giant freaking serum needle like I'm in a cyberpunk setting and injecting a stimpack or TF serum.
Bad news. It takes two months for this treatment to become effective. So... I'm gonna be in pain for a solid two months straight more.
Some good news, they said the pain might become less severe before it becomes completely effective. But anyway... Writing has been really hard while my head hurts like heck. Hints the pausing patreon for two months and being so slow with 13 Tales.
So let me be clear.
13 Tales will be finished. I know longer know if I can finish them before October 31st but come heaven or heck I will get all 13 done and posted. Patreon will likely start up again in November (unless I have too many tales left to finish) and I may pause in December depending how fast I work in November. Basically, we're playing a lot of things by ear based on how much pain I'm in over the next tow months and how fast I can force myself to work through the pain.
I want to thank everyone for being patient. Everyone has been extremely supportive as I've been dealing with this. And trust me, no one wants this problem to stop existing faster than me.

When I count my blessings, one that is always at or near the top of the list is that I almost never get headaches. I know how debilitating they are even when they're just the ordinary sort. I wish you the best of luck on this one.

Ugh. As someone who's suffered headaches too, I can sympathize. Doing anything with a severe headache is hard.

Wishing you the best, and hoping your treatment works out exceptionally! Headaches and migraines fucking suck.

I'm glad to hear treatment is on the way (and that you can afford it).

Hope the treatments begin helping far before the 2 month mark! Chronic ANYTHING is a massive pain, and wish you the best. I'll be praying for you too (even if you don't believe in that stuff)!

I hope you feel better swiftly. Those are not fun to deal with.
