So the injuries I've been getting lately have been rather temporary. Call me accident prone, call me a cry baby, but one thing I can take solace in is that I'm stubborn, I'm persistant, and I'm hard to put down. Unfortunately as of lately, one of my more intense injuries has been taking its hold on me. I don't like talking about it because I hate feeling like I can't handle it and I hate garnering sympathy, but right now, this has not only bled into my work, but my ability to rp and even my usual activities. In fact, it's because of it causing me troubles with rping that I'm talking about this at all, so to whomever it may concern I guess. So I've been fighting some severe back pain for six years now. I've already been to the hospital for it a couple times and I haven't gotten a straight answer besides 'We don't know what's wrong with you' word for word. I've basically been forced to have to theorize what's been going on with it. My latest ones have been nerve damage, an unaddressed back injury, or something as simple as posture, but the last two I've kinda debunked because the doctors that did the x-rays would have noticed something wrong with it at least. It's gradually been getting worse and as of late, it's been causing breathing problems, issues laying down, slight insomnia from pain, and most recently, pain that extends down to my hip and causes leg and hip pain. I've had to cut off certain rps early due to me needing to catch my breath whenever my back starts acting up. There's no focal point, no culprit behind it, just non stop full back pain. I've felt bad about having to cut off early when I start actively responding, and because my mind is more focused on the pain, I have a hard time remembering to go back after it's over, and that's assuming I'm not drinking or going to sleep to try to ease it. (No, drinking is not the cause of the pain, I've only resorted to it during my worst bouts of these pains. It's genuinely the only thing that numbs it) Right now, I'm just going through the motions and trying to push on to continue my rps, but until further notice, I might end up having an even more crazed schedual to work with. If you're fine with being patient with me, I appreciate it. And again, I hate garnering sympathy and am not trying to do so here. I'm just trying to forwarn any future and current rps at the moment of sudden dissapearences before responding several hours/weeks later. I'm very sorry if I may be coming off as standoffish or aggitated in this post, I'm just at my limit right now. No Star plush picture unfortunately. I don't feel as though it would really fit in this update.

Oh! You poor thing. I live with a woman that has a badly curved and fused spine and has been trying to convince the doctors they need to operate again. Advice I would give is to look at the x-rays yourself, and get any second opinions you can, preferably from a specialist in back pain (they exist!).... View More
