Health Update
13 years ago
Hello everyone,
I wanted to let you all know I could be on this health-related hiatus a while longer. I haven't any definite information yet, so treatment is still a while off.
I miss you all a great deal and it hurts that I have not been interacting/catching up with all my friends here on FA as much as I'd like.
I think about you all often and wish I were in a better state to create/draw giftart again.
--->(( Much bawling in the explanation below, I apologize. T.T ))<---
I have been to a specialist now. A week ago I had my scheduled Gastroscopy procedure (tubes down the intestines/stomach). The sedation kicked in as it started so fortunately I awoke oblivious. The preparation was awful however. I was unable to eat for two days, instead drinking a 2 liter jug of this bland-dissolved medicine. It was like force feeding (drinking?) pool water, ughhh. I was a sad bathroom prisoner that day. T.T
After the procedure, the doctor showed me the initial findings: ulcers and a lot of inflammation. The doctor thinks it may be a specific disease. They took samples from inside that are going to be analysed, so there are no certainties yet.
The idea of that possibility is really hard, so I try not to think/look into it. It doesn't help that my average day is rough.
So far I have lost 20 pounds (weight I don't need to lose) from being unable to eat properly. The worst part is the pain. I get this continuous burning/bloating inside that comes with anything I eat. It is almost like that pain that comes with food poisoning. I had to pause mid-way writing this journal to ride out an unbearable wave. I am still throwing up too. Trying to eat is becoming a minefield, one improper food/too much of something and I can lose a half a day's meal.
Currently I am on these expensive prescribed pills to take the edge off the pain and hinder the bleeding inside. With them I've been able to add a little to my empty diet. I can now handle some amounts of tomato, cheese, and meats again. I miss sweet, sour, and seasoned foods a lot. I have bad food fantasies and have to stop myself from eating something that I would regret quickly.
The pills aren't a cure sadly. I am hoping that whatever I have can be solved with medicine. My next appointment is in early February, I will update my journal then with any news.
I hope you are all well. Thank you for all your messages and well wishes <3. I hope to talk to be back again as soon as I can.
Be safe and watch out for slippery ice,
