significant health update lool
a month ago
General
ive always been really fascinated by the world of psychiatric drugs. we dont know fuck shit about the brain and can only throw wild guesses out. theres plenty of medications that can significantly ease many psychotic symptoms, but at the cost of emulsifying your internal organs to sludge
the bad news. ive finally been nudged into stage 1 kidney failure by one of my longtime meds
but the good news, this is a pretty well documented risk of this medicine, and when caught in the beginning stages it can be treated by stopping the medication and supportive care. theres some other side effects that ill be freed from finally but the kidney failure is absolutely the most pressing issue Right Now lmao
this isnt my first rodeo with a body that likes to disagree with Everything and self destructs at any mild inconvenience but it never gets any easier i guess. gonna have to find a new antipsychotic now so i dont fucking explode or something
ive been drawing A Little bit but no promises ill have anything to share this month

God damn dude, glad yall caught it so early! And Im pleased to hear that there is already a treatment plan for you.
With one relief comes other challenges as always ugh!
Keep on kicking and surviving bro, Im rooting for your recovery and peace of mind. I know psychiatrics can be super complicated and confusing, at least to me, so good luck.
Hope you recover well and that you can find a new medicine that's a bit easier on your body.
insanely grateful to hear that you guys caught it early and have a game plan. and tipping my hat, because i know how itll run you ragged trying to spin all those plates between med side effects and comorbid conditions. just a headache
sending much love your way. glad youre still kickin
thank you for the kind words, i hope you are hanging in there
It's really, really unfair that the drugs made to help us also often come with so many horrible side effects.
