Went from still having white patches of fungus on my tonsils and uvula yesterday to a little red but no longer patchy today.

Everyone say thank you to the fine people who discovered antifungals.

Hey. I’m making this quick post because some of you noticed I’ve been posting less frequently and taking longer to reply. To be honest, I’ve been quite sick.

As you know, I deal with hormonal imbalances that cause chronic pain. I usually have a high pain tolerance, but this time it’s reached a level I just can't push through, and I'm currently on bed rest. I wanted to let you know in case you see me staying at this slower pace; between feeling unwell and doctor appointments, it's getting harder to be as active as usual with my Monster High/Xiaolin designs and commissions.

I’m not going anywhere, I’m just moving a bit slower while I deal with this. Thanks for your patience.🐉

Gueeeess who came down with the superflu! :|

Ugh. See y'all in a week or so.

New and Exciting thing wrong with my throat: thrush, apparently.

Wheeeeee. :|

I also had my right ear flushed for some impacted earwax while I was getting my flu checked out.

I am apparently the first person they'd seen who found the process kind of pleasant. Not exactly something I'd do recreationally or anything, but it scratched the being-groomed itch, I think. Seeing that big ol' chunk of earwax in the drainage cup was cool, too.

Man.

I've just been having A Month this August.

Hopefully September will be better.

Things I'm currently annoyed by:

The fact that I got chickenpox as a kid riiight before the vaccine hit my town

The fact that I'm currently suffering a bout of what I'm almost certain is shingles because of it

The fact that no one recommended a zoster shot for me to prevent shingles even though it's a known risk with the kinds of immunosuppressants I'm on for my multiple sclerosis

The fact that we've had a chickenpox vaccine since '95 and haven't killed this damn human-exclusive virus off yet

Chickenpox outbreaks caused by anti-fax fuckheads

"Oooooh chickenpox isn't that baaaaaad everyone gets it"

First: Shut the fuck up, chickenpox can cause deadly complications in a nonzero amount of folks

Second: Shut the fuck up, shingles in excruciating and doubly unnecessary these days

In short: fuck Varicella zoster and fuck antivaxers.
