health update!

hey there guys! just wanted to update you all on what's going on
I still don't have a diagnosis on what i have, i've kept getting tested but all tests came back good, so at least i know what it's NOT lol

i have to get this test done, electromyogram it's called, but it involves the doctor putting electricity through my arms/legs to see if the nerves are working properly. it's a bit expensive as they charge per limb and i gotta do all 4 limbs (don't worry i have savings and i can affford it!), but it takes around 30 minutes per limb, apparently... and with the pandemic going on a lot of medical centers have stopped performing it!

the doctor said i had to get it done within 20 days but so far, i've only found one medical center that stil performs it in the region. can't go to the capital due to the travel restrictions, and the earliest i could get it done its in september x.x so that's annoying!!

pain wise, i've been feeling better! i got 2 new meds, one that i have to take everyday and another one that i should take if i still feel pain, so those have helped a lot.
i also got an elbow support for when i work on my tablet and i gotta say it's doing wonders!!!

the only downside is that one of the meds is also something you give to general anxiety disorder peeps (which i also happen to have lmao) and so, it makes me to get distracted easely. i've noticed i'm getting distracted A LOT more than usual! XP

well, that's the update! overall, feeling better but not normal yet, and still nowhere near a diagnosis XP but things are looking better!

thank again to everyone who have been asking about my health! :D i'll keep working to make nice pics and comic pages!
