Health Update: Sadface Emoji
4 months ago
Well, it's been a while since I last updated my FA journal. I was hoping to hold out until we had our next big update (soonish, and it's got something y'all really want -- no speculations though!), but unfortunately life... uh, life has chosen other paths for me.
I'm currently ill. Exceedingly so. Several weeks ago I went to urgent care, who diagnosed me with pneumonia. I had all the symptoms, and man, they've been brutal. However, urgent care said they'd never seen a case as serious as mine, and instructed me to go to the ER immediately as I was far too severe for them to treat.
Well, heck. Fine. I'm not fighting this, I'm far too sick. Arrive at the ER, they do a CT scan, and... no, it's not pneumonia. It's something worse. I have something growing in my lungs. A lot of nodules, and... nope, they can't help me either. What I have is far too severe for them to diagnose or treat, and I need to seek a pulmonary specialist.
To say I've been under the weather would be a vast understatement. For the past month and a half I've been plagued by constant fevers of 102 - 103 degrees, multiple times a day. Just constant fevers. Extreme fatigue. Exhaustion. Pain. Dizzyness. Complete disorientation. I go from extreme chills where the air feels like it's burning my skin to extreme sweats that last for hours, and leave me completely dehydrated. Feel like my entire lifeforce has been drained. I've never gone through something so debilitating. I can't do anything. Game, draw, even work on FA. Even watching YouTube can be an extremely demanding task.
It's left me completely broken.
Most days I only have about 2-3 hours of functional energy in me, and the rest of the time I'm sleeping or just trying to survive. Whatever the hell I have has all but completely disabled me.
That said, there's good news. In about a week, I'm seeing pulmonary specialists to try to figure out what the hell is plaguing me (word choice intentional), because man... these constant fevers are soul breaking in a way I can't describe. There are days where I'm just so drained all I can do is cry, and I'm not the kind of person who cries. To say it's been a lot would be a vast understatement.
I'll try to post more updates moving forward, as I know the community is thirsty for communication and to know what we're working on. And don't worry, we'll have a big write up as to why it's taken so long (major database rewrites to start). Also, towards the end of 2022, after getting covid, things left me in a totally broken state and it took me a hell of a long time to recover both mentally and physically. Long covid ravaged my body and left me in a bad state for far too long, and it took way longer to bounce back back from it.
Now this...
It's been a rough few years. I'm tired, boss, but I'm still here to fight. I'm a brawler digi, after all. I don't quit til the battle's over.

sending positive vibes
I can only try to attempt to merely understand how it must feel for you. Personally ive once had insane headaches (from quitting anti depressants) driving me really sick, i also inky had about 4 hours in me to get food and cook for myself.. i remember being stuck in bed the rest of the time trying to distract myself with almost an overdose of painkillers and some quiet netflix.
I really wish you the best of luck and a quick recovery 🌸❤️
We're all here for you ❤️🤗🌸
I hope they find the cause soon, and you can have a speedy recovery soon!
Keep brawlin!

Hope the specialists can figure this out, and get you some good treatment.
Hope you recover soon and get back onto your feet as soon as you can
Hang in there.
Show it who's boss by not giving in.
Took me over a year and a half to get over mine.
I question why they haven't at least given you at antibiotics while making you wait 2 weeks for an appointment.
Gaia bless

Snoofy old burr
You got this~
Hope you can start feeling better soon...
Take care of yourself!
Stay strong
It worked for me.
None of this is your fault nor something you had any control over. Make sure to rest as much as you can and also make sure to eat enough. Food keeps blood production and antibody production up, which is fighting whatever is causing trouble in your lungs. Here's hoping that the specialist gets to the bottom of this fast and that you get the treatment that you need. Don't forget to be gentle with yourself, I know that's really hard when things are this rough. Godspeed dude, you sure as hell don't deserve to suffer like this.
All the hope and good vibes from me for you. I hope all goes well with the specialists 🤗💗👌🏽🐉
It is infuriating that you had to wait a full week in this condition.
Unacceptable.
But now, ... it's over.
Thank you for everything. Making this site that I've been using for so so long now.
So long. I regret that I never knew you.
