The mysteries continue! (Life Update)
7 years ago
So I haven't really felt like drawing, or really doing anything lately. Lots of stuff going on, got a bit depressed. I've been struggling with my health off an on since I hit puberty. Nothing major, but enough to be a distraction. Most of the time I could write my symptoms off as small things that could be managed with over-the-counter meds, but at time went on the symptoms got worse, and after I moved to Texas the symptoms became impossible to ignore. Not all my symptoms are related, and some are too personal to share.
Pretty much I've been struggling with my breathing, flare-ups, rashes, pain, nausea, allergy symptoms, food aversion, lack of appetite (most of the time I'll eat once a day), food binging (more rare), migraines, dizziness, and fatigue, and feminine issues.
My current Primary Care Doctor is sending me to all these specialists atm because my quality of life is hitting a breaking point that I can no longer tolerate. It hurts to walk around, it hurts to be on the PC for hours on end, I can't go outside without getting itchy all over and having issues breathing, etc, etc.
So far the hematologist didn't find anything interesting (to her) in my blood panel. The allergist doesn't think I have allergies at all (even though I have all the symptoms), and I'm waiting for blood work to confirm, she also doesn't think I have asthma because I have difficulty inhaling, not exhaling, hell I might not even have eczema. In fact my whole appointment with her was upsetting and frustrating because she was making the case that I might have been getting misdiagnosed constantly for at least the last decade. Right now she took me off my antihistamines until her next appointment (Oct 3rd), so I'm more itchy now, and coughing more.
I also start physical therapy on the 2nd, which will be interesting because I guess I have lumbar issues. (Yay for forgetting about childhood injuries that catch up with you.) I also have shin splints, so hopefully the therapist can help me learn how to exercise without hurting myself.
I still have more labs to do, but have to fast for 12hrs before (I'm only allowed water), so I might just wait and do them on the day of my allergy appointment since it is in the same building.
Long story short, I'm sorry I've become progressively less active over the years, and never honored any of the art requests I tried to host. From struggling with debt, my husband's health, the Army, our Dog's surgery, and my own health I've just lost the spark that let me pour out ideas constantly. I'm hoping to become more rejuvenated and inspired, but it is hard to stay optimistic.

I'm sorry there isn't really much I can do to help at the moment :<
This upcoming week I start physical therapy (Tues). go back to the Allergist (Wed), and have a Pulmonary Test (Thurs)
On top of that I need to make an appointment with the Nutritionist and Opthamologist (I guess I'm supposed to have a check up every 2yrs for glasses) but I want to wait for my labs to come back before I see nutritionist incase I have any deficiencies I should discuss with them.
