Health Update!
Added 2024-09-14 19:45:02 +0000 UTCHi guys! I am now officially diagnosed with Celiac Disease!
TLDR: I'm feeling a lot better but this new diagnosis is chaotic so I am going to pause patreon next month to give myself some time to try and figure things out and get back into the swing of things hopefully :D I will be continuing to post occassionally like now so feel free to pop in. Also yall are great thank you for being so patient with me before I had this diagnosis.
Long version:
It's only been a little bit since I was diagnosed but I am already feeling much better after cutting out gluten. This includes my jaw issues that were flaring up for some reason. Celiac disease aparently can cause a lot of non-digestive problems and since most of my problems were like that it likely made it very hard for them to catch. Everything isn't fixed but I feel confident saying I think we finally have it mostly figured out.
Things were extremely bad and getting worse for a while then and until recently I was at the point I was struggling to remember my own age and do things as simple as wash a plate or two in the span of a whole day. It goes to say I was also struggling with keeping up with art as well. I apologize for that and I am deeply grateful for those of you who've been around for years even as I declined.
Currently things are very hectic with figuring out how to live fully gluten free, managing the damage and its after effects, going to diatictians and doctors and re-organizing my life after the mess it became at its worst.
I feel it's going to become a lot easier to keep up with work again *knock on wood* once I get it all ironed out but since currently I've been posting less here I'm going to pause for August to try and be fair to all of you all while chaos reigns supreme lol. I want to give myself time to adjust to this and figure out how to live with such big changes. Not just changes to my diet but the fact that just going gluten free has had such an astounding effect that I feel almost like a different person π
in a good way that is lol
