Hey guys!!
So in my last news post, I mentioned that I'm now physically disabled. Unfortunately, I don't actually have a diagnosis just yet. Doctors are still trying to run tests and figure out exactly what is wrong with me and it's going to be a while before they can come to a definitive conclusion. Progress has been incredibly slow :( however, they DID rule out arthritis as a possibility (which is what I originally thought I had)
At the current moment, my PCP is split on two different answers. She thinks it's either type 2 diabetes or multiple sclerosis. I met with her for the first time last week and she put in an order for me to get an MRI scan as well as meet with a bone specialist and a neurologist for further inspection of my body. I have also been tested for type 2 diabetes, although I'm still waiting for those results.
She said I have severe inflammation in my joints combined with damage to my nerves in my hands, feet, and spine. For the moment, while I wait for more answers, I've been managing my pain to the best of my abilities as well as wearing compression gloves and using my cane when needed. I've also gone ahead and cut sugar and carbs from my diet, just incase the diabetes allegations are true.
Unfortunately, I can't get an MRI scan until next month :( it's going to be a while before I get the answers I need. But until then, I will continue uploading my art. I recently started getting into comics and I started to make my own! I think I'm getting the hang of story telling and I'm excited to see myself get better and improve with this change of direction I'm taking.
