Ugh, sorry for vanishing yesterday (health TMI)
10 years ago
Sorry guys, last couple days have not been fun for me. x_x I'd fully intended to stream like normal yesterday, but my body went NOPE. The cramps are at least down to tolerable levels now, but I'm wiped out even after taking iron to help recover. Not quite as bad as last month (so far, anyway) but it's still in LET'S BLEED ALL THE BLOOD mode, so I am crankypants and exhausted. Ended up curling up with a book last night and losing track of time. Then I was up at stupid o'clock this morning because we had to bleed all over everything which is gross and aggravating and I'm so goddamn numb to it now that I don't even blink when it happens anymore. Should have had the doctor take both damn ovaries at the same time. Given that I've seen a slight improvement over last month, I'm going to try the second month of my new BC meds, and make my next appointment for halfway through my third month, because sometimes these things do take time.
The most frustrating thing about this whole mess is the time I lose. If I worked a 9-5 job, I would have to call in sick during my periods. I have zero energy and no appetite. I can't exercise. I'm uncomfortable, grouchy, snappish, and unfit for polite company. Painkillers help a little, but when it's bad even those barely make a dent. I can't even sit at my table and draw because at its worst I have to get up and go to the bathroom every time I shift my weight thanks to the sheer volume of blood I'm dealing with (I told you it was gross). Endometriosis fucking sucks ass. It really, REALLY sucks. Unless my meds start having a drastic effect in the next couple months, I'm pretty damn sure I'm going to be looking at ANOTHER surgery to take out my remaining ovary, because I am sick and tired of living this way.
Have I mentioned that I turn 32 in a couple weeks? u.u Yay. Happy birthday to me. I wouldn't wish this crap on my worst enemy.
Anyway, apologies for the delay on both regular commissions and the May the 4th pieces I still have outstanding. I was not expecting to lose two days in succession to my stupid body. With any luck, I'll be back in business tomorrow and can make some progress on what I owe you guys. Thanks for your patience.

Sorry to hear about your further medical complications. I really do hope you're able to arrive at an acceptable solution for that soon enough and I wish you a speedy recovery from this current issue.

;_; I am so sorry Zanny. *snugs* I used to be anemic, so I kind of know what you are going through in regards to loosing a lot of blood during that time of the month...you literally have no energy to do anything and it seriously messes up your body in so many ways. I truly hope everything slows down and you are able to function again soon. -_- *hugs*

OP
Definitely doing better today, at least. The iron supplements help a lot, and I picked up more vitamins because I hadn't realized I'd run out, so that should help, too. With any luck, I may even be able to go for a run tomorrow.
