Life update for anyone interested (bad news)
5 years ago
Hey there!
So, as you've probably noticed I haven't exactly been active the past month or so (mostly because of school, but there's other causes)
Those who I talk to on a regular basis already know all about it, but recently I've started getting all kinds of symptoms- at first just normal flu symptoms (or so it seemed, didn't think much of it) but then started getting pains in random places and more- which wasn't fun at all, I felt quite awful and couldn't do much. Soon enough I noticed a round rash on my leg. Yes, it's probably going where you think it is. Went to a bunch of doctors throughout 2 weeks and then got my blood tested for lyme disease, which returned positive (my result was literally off the charts. I don't know what the number is because it went above what the machine could measure).
So yeaaah.. Guess now I know what I've been struggling with and what I will struggle with for possibly years or even the rest of my life.. What's the likelihood of that though? This year was the first time I've ever had a tick, and I'm the first one in my entire family to get the disease when they spend way more time outside than me. Maybe I'm just stupidly unlucky or something.
At least now my parents don't have to worry about half of my face being paralyzed, turns out it's just another one of the symptoms I'm experiencing right now. Oh, and I'm underweight too it seems, I'll need to try to fix that as well.
Anyway, sorry for the sad news everyone- I'll still be drawing whenever I'm not working on school things (which another thing, my thinking ability could be impaired because of the bacteria, which means I might not do as well in school when I'm already not doing great, could even cause me to fail with how difficult everything is already and I'd have to reconsider my career choice. Amazing)
Okay enough of me being sorry for myself, please please please stay safe out there you guys. Whenever you're going out somewhere where there could be ticks, make sure your skin is covered and/or use repellent, and always check yourself for ticks afterwards. The absolutely worthless motherfuckers could potentially ruin your life. Just be careful and get in contact with a doctor if you suspect something, the earlier you start treatment the better.

I hope you will fully recover from that!
Good God, that sounds awful.. I'm sorry that you had to go through such a nightmare. I really hope it's gotten better for you.
Hey, no need to worry about me. I've had to deal with worse and I've been in that place before as well and I'm never going back there ever again, nothing's gonna stop me from living my life to the fullest ever again, and i hope nothing's gonna stop you either.
I’m sad to hear that this happened
I can't say that I am sadly, but thanks <3
I'll try helping if I can or when I can, donate money or something to ya.
But yeah here's hope that you can recover from it soon.
Yeah..
I really hope you'll be able to recover from this soon enough!
Thank you, I hope so as well- so far it's looking alright, it was detected quite early so I might not need to go through a lot of treatment, but we'll see
I hope that things somehow get better for you.
The only thing we can do is fight through it
Even tho I sometimes lost in it often..
