Update!

So! I finally got an MRI and have gotten the results- I have multiple lesions on my brain consistent with Multiple Sclerosis. I don't have an official diagnosis but I already have an appointment with the Neurologist in January. I was shocked and a little worried with how fast I was able to get the appointment actually.

While I am very relieved to finally have some tangible evidence that something is wrong I'm still in a lot of daily pain. I'm still having a lot of issues with my motor skills, and just in the last month I've fallen 4 times! The most recent fall gave me two black eyes and I nearly lost a tooth!

Needless to say, I'm currently unable to work. I can't even sit at my computer for more than 20-30 minutes without pain. And so I'm going to keep this fundraiser up for help with both groceries and my growing medical expenses. I do plan on speaking to someone about the possibility of getting on disability until I make my (hopefully speedy) recovery, but I need the official diagnosis first.

I cannot express enough how incredibly and sincerely grateful I am to everyone for helping me in this really scary and emotional time for me. Thank you all so, so much.

I will update as soon as I learn more!

For the past few months my health has been steadily deteriorating. I will try to avoid oversharing but I can physically no longer work. My hands and feet are weak and painful and sometimes even numb. I am in constant pain to the point of nausea at times. Just holding a pencil for too long leaves my hand aching and I've broken my phone screen and quite a few dishes from my weak grip.

I'm still battling the American Healthcare system to get some answers and some help! Even now I have to beg for any scrap of diagnostic testing I can get and they've canceled my last two in-office visits!

In the meantime I have depleted what tiny savings and I am just asking for any help to keep surviving and hopefully recovering so I can go back to drawing. I've been drawing since I was three and the past few weeks I have barely been able to sketch and I honestly it's been incredibly draining to my mental health and creative drive.

Thank you all for reading my rambling woes. I am not very good at asking for help but I am so incredibly grateful to have so many wonderful people surrounding me in the digital world.
