MY HEALTH part 2
Written on Jan. 10, 2025
​I'm holding onto hope as much as I can but my concerns are growing. As previously stated, I'm not able to do much at all with my hands while the braces are on because they restrict my ability of gripping anything. That's what they are made to do, and they are good at their job. I take them off for self care tasks such as to shower and brush my teeth. Activities like that are still causing the extreme pains to run through my forearms. After completing those tasks and icing the areas, the braces always go right back on.
​
Last night... while showering the sudden, random, out of nowhere pains that I have been dealing with on and off for the last couple of years, came on with a vengeance. They are always there to let me know know somethings wrong. But it got pretty bad last night. In the shower it first started in my right shin. It caught me off guard as usual coming on so sharp and sudden taking over most of my shin. I cried out in the surprise of it. Then a 3 point, triangular, pin pointed sharp pain suddenly started in the back of my knee. Then more of an achy stabbing on the upper part of my right outer thigh came on. These pains turned themselves on and off at random while I finished up in there and afterwards as I made my way to bed to ice the arms. But each time they start again, they cause more shrieks from me as I move toward my studio/bedroom. While trying to finally fall asleep, an upper right leg calf muscle pain came and went, as did the feeling of all of my lower left teeth trying to be pulled out at once. I've been asking doctors about all of this for the last couple years since it started. They don't often show interest in
wanting to figure it out. But on an occasion they do, labs are drawn and no answer for the reason why is ever found. New messages were sent to doctors this week and last night with ideas for new tests based on my ideas and from the input of all of you wonderful people out there that I'm so greatly blessed to have in my life. I read, consider and respect everything you all offer about the subject.
When comparing the thought of this being growing pains versus the feeling of how I would imagine being on the receiving end of a voodoo doll ritual might feel like, I'm leaning toward the latter. I say that because all these pains turn themselves on and off like a switch, ranging from seconds, to minutes, or a day or two in any given spot. All while other spots are doing the same. Some times in 5 different places all at once, flickering on and off at random. To be clear, I'm using that voodoo reference just to make the point of how baffling this phenomenon is; not to make bizarre speculations. I'm just saying it's weird...
With growing concerns of my unknown future, I'm starting up a Go Fund Me account and adding it to this page below to prepare now before things get worse. If I do come out of this and I'm able to create my art again and take it out on the road to art shows then the money collected here will certainly help with my compiling medical bills and credit cards that I wouldn't normally have to use to live. If and when that time comes I will offer my skateboards and art to all donors. Larger donations will always have the option for getting an original drawing. (I still have almost all of them available) With that in mind I'm also working on getting my originals available to browse through here and purchase straight from my site as well. I will be listing them for my lowest possible prices in hopes to get them moving. Well it's 5:22am I've been up since my 3am scheduled medication alarm went off. The flickering pains have persisted this whole time. I'm going to listen to the rain bounce of my rusted tin roof cabana outside my studio door and try to get another hour or two of sleep now. Stay amazing my good friends.
