Health Update: Lung Saga Continues...
Added 2022-04-26 19:32:07 +0000 UTCHey Everyone,
I just wanted to apologize for not posting more than that sequence this month, unfortunately whatever is afflicting me is in it for the long game. While I can say I'm functional and able to actually draw physically, mentally I'm not able to focus for long periods of time, my energy is constantly low, and overall I'm just in a bad place thinking about this.
You could say most of it is fear. Fear I won't get better, anxiety over how to overcome it. I'm taking all these medications, now just starting a Prednisone treatment, and none have really "fixed" the problem.
I have an appointment with a Pulmonologist on May 2nd. (Yea they were booked until literally then, and it only got worse the further out of town I went.) Once I get with them, I'll look at options, see if it is my lungs, or something unrelated.
I do have a minor suspicion it could be a Hiatal Hernia (the pneumonia and other problems being borne as a result of it), but I would need more testing to prove that one. So, for now, please bear with me as I sort through this nonsense.
I'm sorry this has been such a nuisance, and I am trying to do what can.
Keep you all updated

Yea, I wish I could describe it as simply "coughing" but it's coughing combined with feeling "winded", having this feeling of a void in my chest. A weird Hiccup in my breathing that never existed before. I feel low energy, and you might think something is wrong with my body's ability to get oxygen but I test my Blood OX regularly, and it's "normal". So I don't know what's going on. I keep going in circles trying to figure this one out...and I can't.

2022-04-26 19:45:15 +0000 UTCI get that, I remember just having strange bloodwork that needed looking in to. Despite it being symptomless, the uncertainty alone gave me horrible nausea. I can only imagine combining that with actual symptoms.
