Many thanks to all those that donated! This donation account is no longer active. Thanks to your support, my partner and I were able to pull together the needed funds to get the care I needed at the time, and relocate to a place where we could have some support from family and live in a climate that better suits my UV Sensitivity.
However, the struggles of being a disabled mechanic/artist who does not currently receive SSI/SSDI are still very real. Please, if you find any value from this blog, please consider making a donation to the PayPal link at the top right of the page. I don't create these posts expecting anything but to help/entertain others, but when I'm flared up it's hard if not impossible for me to get my hustle on, so your support is still greatly appreciated. No amount is too small!
I'm also working on adding Bitcoin here! :)
Hello my beloved readers!
I do hope you all had Happy Holidays and a Blessed New Year!
Typing is murder for me right now so this will be brief.
I've been dealing with a major flare up in my symptoms, which has resulted in increased cognitive dysfunction (my brain is like a leaky sieve right now, its terrible), and a new issue where the muscles and/or nerves in my shoulders and back are spasming/tightening up and it feels like I've been in knots for almost a couple weeks straight now. I haven't found anything that alleviates it for longer than a couple hours. I fear it may be "myofascial pain" and will be discussing it with my PCP when I see him next week. Apparently, its a common issue amongst those suffering from Lupus or Fibromyalgia.
In the meantime, I will be very limited in how much work I will be doing on the computer. I do have this talk-to-text software to play with (many thanks to my buddy Amir of The Wisest and The Stupidest Podcast for the awesome Christmas Present!!!), so I am hoping to get some work done on some eBooks that have been knocking about in my brain-fogged mind for some time. But I have a feeling I will be creating exclusively video blogs for a while. Which I guess isn't such a big deal as my video posts get more views than anything else...which I personally don't get because I read blogs to, well, read, and tend to avoid video blogs like the plague...but I guess I gotta catch up with the times, and creating videos is far easier than writing for me right now.
I do plan on finishing my Holistic Health Tips (That Actually Work!) Series, which we can all use after the gluttony of the holidays I'm sure. Even I slacked a bit on what I ate and drank, and am paying dearly for it now in this "flare-up". Argh. What I would give to be "normal" haha.
Okay my arm is starting to feel like its on fire. Time to tie this up.
I created a short video update for my Medical Fundraiser, if you would like further details about my current health situation.
Thank you all for your continued support, love, and interest in my work.
You help me to keep a positive attitude and always pushing myself forward, even if it hurts a bit.
*Love & Light*
