Post-Con Herxing
11 years ago
My last submission was 17 DAYS AGO??? WHAT???? NO!!! How did that happen? Well ok I actually have been drawing and inking when I'm able (though progress pieces are relegated to my twitter almost exclusively: https://twitter.com/Boneitis ) but what I haven't been posting about is my numerous Herxheimer reactions and the ambulance trip that have happened since that last submission.
I'll keep it simple: Post-anthrocon I've been on a very strict diet (no gluten, no sugar, no nightshade plants or spices) and a huge daily medication regimen (16 pills every morning). Due to this I've seen...not *exactly* improvement; if anything I now violently yo-yo between being almost perfectly healthy and bedridden-deathly-ill. Last week was a good example: I had four days in a row where I was energetic and working. I painted and inked every day AND I even drew three commissions in one go (something I used to do quite easily that has since become very difficult). After that draw-a-thon day though? I went to a friends house and accidentally passed out in a locked room. My friends, (
grimshanks included ) picked the lock and carried my body over to a couch where they promptly tried to call an ambulance as they'd never seen someone pass out, go blind, and have seizures (Though this exact thing happens to me on a weekly basis, once landing me in that aforementioned ambulance ride). They eventually got me home and, as is the usual for me when these "episodes" happen, I had two days where I couldn't get out of bed at all, followed by two days of semi-awareness, and now here I am feeling pretty good. So, my plan is to take every day where I feel even remotely good and work as hard as I can; sometimes I can only get in two hours, other days I can comfortably work almost all day. I essentially have to take each day as they come while I work at getting better, it is a long, strange, and completely unpredictable road and I am very thankful for all the people who send me so much goddamn support. More so than anything that support means to me that, when this Lyme thing is over, I'll have every reason to hit the ground running and continue to pursue my goals and the life I want at %100. So whether you're a friend, fan, reader, commissioner, or some combination of the above: thank you for listening, trust me: I'm tired of this shit too.

PS: if this week goes well for me I've got lots of cool stuff to finish and post!

It is great you are taking the max out of it all though :)
I do hope you lick this thing soon though as it sounds absolutely horrific.
But seriously it's got this "curing lyme the holistic way" book i picked up for you forever ago and some EXCITING NON-LYME-RELATED SURPRISES that are not wasps.
