Update November: It’s now been 5 months of unexplained body pain and fatigue, and things have gotten more complicated, recently, the doctors found a tumor in my chest, and it’s looking like I have to undergo a really intense open chest surgery to remove it, the future is still unknown, but I’m just happy to be alive, diabetes has never been the cause, it’s just made things harder, I’m now down a rabbit hole of potential auto immune overlaps, rare cancers, and seriously rare diseases, more answers will come soon, I believe it, thank you all for supporting, reading this, watching our videos, donating, or nothing at all, thank you. I’m so proud of Phin for making this recent video in this hard time (glameow) and I want you all to know that more is on the way, I’m so excited to share everything we’re working on, even if it takes a million times longer then it normally would, we have not given up, and I think this time has made us stronger then we ever have been.

Story: 

I'm Wyatt, half of Blueboyphin, and I hate asking for it, but I need help.

Here's the story, some of it.

For the past year and a half, Phineas and I have been living in Asia and running Blueboyphin, not only trying to push the limits of what this channel has always been, but what we believe it can, and should be.

We have a calling to tell stories, make everything we touch mean something, to us, and hopefully someone else.

So far, what we've done has been the most fulfilling thing I think either of us have ever experienced in our lives.

And we're only just getting started.

But through all of that hope and shine, there has been a very heavy weight of pain.

I have type 1 diabetes. I've had it for 5 years now. If you don't know what that is, basically I got really unlucky and have to inject myself with insulin 20 times every day for the rest of my life, and it comes with many more complications if not properly managed. Trekking through forests in the middle of nowhere in Japan searching for the true inspiration of the Unknown whilst having low blood sugar was not something I expected to be so hard.

Since the beginning, getting insulin in Asia has been hard. It's expensive and not always easy to find.

Throughout this past year, I've been in the hospital countless times, but recently, something really bad has happened to me, and I haven't quite figured out what.

I've been doing a series of tests and spending a lot of money just to survive and to figure out what the hell is wrong with me.

For the past month, I've been losing my mind, going through extreme physical pain, and soul-crushing exhaustion. I haven't been able to work or do any of the things I care about, and I still haven't figured out what's going on. Sadly, I've been getting so much worse, with thousands of dollars already down the drain.

In the past few days, I've made some huge steps, found some good doctors that want to help, and it's seeming like things are finally heading in the right direction. But whatever happens from this point on is still unknown. I could have something as bad as cancer, or worse. Right now, there are no answers, but I have been unwell in many ways, and all I want is to feel normal again. This time being sick for this long hopefully has something positive to take away once I walk out the other side. But again, right now, I feel disheartened, depressed, and confused.

I've never asked for help in my life, even when I almost died right before getting diagnosed. I've never been that person, and now I finally am. So far, no one has been of much help, besides the people close to me that I love. I'm thankful for them.

If you can donate to help support my life, managing this crazy disease, help diagnose what's wrong with me, the potential treatments that follow, and to help bring the videos that you love to see on Blueboyphin come back.

We have ideas, we have hope, this is just the beginning, and I'm not going down this easy.

Thank you. I hope you know if you decide to help out of your own desire, you have truly saved my life, and I will find each of you and personally thank you in person, one day, when things are better.

UPDATE: Recently I got a full body PET scan, it picked up a serious issue with my left maxillary sinus, and now I'm heading to Bangkok Thailand to get surgery. over the past few weeks things have gotten worse and changed quite a bit, I now have two swollen nodes on the back of my neck that are slowly growing, don't seem to be going down with antibiotics and need to be further tested, which means i will have to do more diagnosing, hopefully in Thailand I can get biopsy's done of everything necessary to continue to narrow down the problem. i also received the results of my GI mapping, additional to every other complication I have a very very weak immune system, and my gut is basically nonfunctioning, I have a lot of parasites, and am now on anti-parasite meds and supplements for the next 4 weeks, i will be back here or on Instagram/blueboyphin for any more updates <3
