Hey ya'll,

So it turns out it likely is that immune issue that's I'm struggling with. TL;DR, my body thinks it's allergic to everything and makes it release more histamines and other immune agents. My GP has started me on the front line medication which is already helping some with my pain and symptom levels. These are essentially antihistamines for gut and vascular system, plus blocking another white blood cell receptor. I should actually know how well these meds are working withing 4-6 weeks. I'm reluctant to mention the name of it publicly until my diagnosis is properly confirmed.

I do not anticipate I will be able to get to much art for a while, it's hard for me to describe how debilitating these flares are. Basically, constant brain fog, pain all over my body (almost like a bruised feeling) and other various other things like eye strain and sleeping a lot. I also cannot take the pain medications I have access to as it makes the symptoms worse, so I'm stuck with paracetamol (tylenol) and distractions*.

Due to this I will be reaching out to commissioners individually and double check if they want to wait or a refund. I am just on the government sickness benefit until I can get this flare under control again, so I thankfully don't have to worry about my basic bills. Raffle people I would appreciate any patience, I will need to prioritize paid art until I'm squared away again.

I hope ya'll are doing well, my mood has been pretty high regardless of everything else, and having potential solutions for an issue that has been going on since my late teens is kind of amazing actually.

*My friends have finally pulled me into Warframe, so it's been a pretty good distraction (please no spoilers, I am a very baby Tenno still and this story is too good).
