Health Update: 😪😪😪 (Patreon)

I have many updates 😅

First and foremost, yes, I was able to continue to Botox treatments 🙌 And I didn't even have to lie to my neurologist! We discussed it and decided that we both think no more seizures, fewer severe migraines, and generally less severe seizures than before was worth continuing.

I've also found a headache clinic in BC that does the Botox treatments, so hopefully I can get transferred there if I move out West in October! Currently waiting on my neurologist to send the referral and the clinic to review it, so... Fingers crossed they agree that I should continue the treatments and have the space to take me on as a patient! 🤞

As for my ankle... I don't want to talk about it 🙈 I haven't gone to get imaging done. I'm sorry 🙈 I'm a mess 🙈 I was going to go, I just... I've been so exhausted.

I'm actually low-key very frustrated that despite the fact that the pain is less debilitating and I'm no longer having the seizures, I still have so many days I'm genuinely stuck in bed. Like... I know I always struggle with the exhaustion. In my brain, I am less debilitated. I have less pain. I should be less exhausted. But apparently, my body/brain disagree 😅 They don't understand that they're dealing with less, they just knows they're still in constant pain. BUT DAMNIT. I'm dealing with less! I should be less debilitated! I should be less exhausted 😪

But I'm learning to come to terms with that. Currently, the bigger frustration is not being in enough pain to keep me stuck in bed, but still being stuck in bed. Or having to repeatedly take breaks. Either I'm too dizzy, or literally just existing right now is causing my blood sugar to drop and getting up to do things makes it worse, or I'm honestly just so tired I can't function anyway 🫠 And then I still have bad pain days 🤦‍♀️ #Worst 🙄

Anyway, I am going to go get my ankle checked out, I swear 😅 I just figure, worst case: I broke my ankle. But in that case, it's already healed how it's going to heal, so waiting until I'm less exhausted shouldn't make much of a difference 🫣
