I've been checking in on Voltra daily, I just have been super low on energy the past month or so. Chronic fatigue is super annoying, but I think we're finally about to have a real diagnosis for me so I can actually fix it. *fingers crossed*
Anyway, I missed having the energy to chat here, and I wanted to say that I'm still hanging around, just less able to participate in chats, but still wanting to be social.
What's up with everyone?
Forums General Chit-Chat I'm ALIIIIIIVE!
Welcome back :) I hope you get a diagnosis soon. I have recently got a diagnosis for a condition I've had all my life so I know how it feels.
@PurpdaBurpPurp: Thanks for the well wishes - I have another doctor appointment with a specialist, but I'm in normal fatigue mode instead of ultra fatigue mode atm. I walked to the art store (its just a few blocks away) and got some watercolor paper and brushes today. I'm gonna actively learn to use my watercolor pencils after I've had them for more than a decade and barely used them. I hope you were able to find something fun to do today.
@sunny: Thanks! I know what the diagnosis is probably gonna be, it's just not official yet. I'm gonna add it to my previous chronic diagnoses. Gotta love genetic issues that get ignored your whole life until you can't even drag yourself out of bed, lol.
@koneko: Thanks! Not knowing is horrible, you're so right. My doctor and I think we know what's up, but I gotta visit the specialist (a hematologist) to verify it, and help me figure out a treatment plan.
@Totalanimefan: Thanks, and OMG being fatigued all the time is super annoying, yes. I just gotta wait a couple weeks for my appointment with a specialist to confirm my suspected diagnosis. But after years of not knowing, a couple weeks is sort of bearable. I'm just impatient to get on treatment and have more of my life back.

@athabm: still, having the official diagnosis helps for peace of mind if nothing else :)

@Totalanimefan: Thanks, I appreciate the encouragement. I feel pretty positive, because knowing what's going on is a huge part of being able to get stable/get better. I spent enough years feeling confused and discouraged, just wanting to know why I was ill.
@sunny: Definitely it does
@sunny: Definitely it does
@Totalanimefan: Yep!
And also it might help my dad get a diagnosis to help him feel better, too, so it's nice to know that I can help out my family by getting a diagnosis for me.

Having you as a Voltie would be awesome.
