April Update - Road to Recovery

Added 2025-04-01 17:45:06 +0000 UTC

Over the course of March, I've had a nerve conduction study, multiple blood tests, physiotherapy and multiple prescriptions given to me. Whilst everything I worked towards seemed to be a dead end, something had finally given way towards a diagnosis. During a blood test, I was discovered to have severely low vitamin D and vitamin B12 levels. This is fortunately treatable, however the nature of these deficiencies being low means there is likely an underlying condition that has caused a significant drop in these levels. I still need more tests to determine what is making me ill whilst I take supplements to get more vitamins into my body.

With this is mind, it's important for me to remind everyone that having these tests done and working with these symptoms continues to be a great drain on my physical energy and makes it difficult to be as productive as I once was last year. It does make me wonder if I got myself into this health crisis to begin with by working myself into the ground...

Nevertheless, I will be fighting to continue my work as I still enjoy every little bit of it. My plans are still to continue the Lola animation as the focus of my work. I should imagine the Lola animation will be fully roughed within the next few weeks, which will leave a long road of rendering ahead.~

I may briefly take a break to do a simple animated loop of this month's poll winner too.

Thanks again for all your support.~~
