Update on the Artist (me!) ✨️

I've never really talked about this before as I never thought of it as a big deal, even though it is rather irritating, but over the past 10+ years I've been suffering with on and off bouts of nausea. I do have other digestive problems, one that does amp up my nausea, but are not as problematic in the long run. I won't be sharing all my symptoms as I'm not comfortable with it as they do get kind of personal. I've had a new symptom appear tho, which is also just a problematic or even more when combined with my nausea which has lead me to ||throw up|| which is very very rare for me when I'm feeling nauseated. ANYWAYS, straight to the point.

Two weeks ago from today I had a three day long spout of on and off nausea to the point I was unable to eat without feeling ill. I went to the doctors during this time as I had just about enough of it as it's exhausting as I am literally fighting with my body, and waiting on line was pure agony. While explaining my symptoms, the doctor did a test and believes that my gallbladder might be the culprit. I am temporarily on two new forms of medication and have been scheduled for an ultrasound to check my gallbladder.

If it is the issue, great I want it removed. If not, I'll keep looking for answers even if it means I end up on more medication just to make it more manageable especially during a bout. I'm just, so tired of feeling ill and exhausted as often as I do because of my nausea. It does affect my life, including my attendance to work and my productivity with my artwork as it's literally a struggle to work through it and the discomfort I feel when I wake up after passing out from the exhaustion. I will keep people updated once more information is available.

For now, I will be releasing artwork soon since I've slowly been getting back into drawing while taking a break to give me time to rest. I'll see you all soon.
