Good morning, everyone! Or afternoon, depending on where you are.
I decided to write this to you all to let you know what's going on. I don't know if I have told you all how I'm doing medically; if I haven't, I wanted to let you all know that I've been diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia. This diagnosis explains a lot of this, like why I'm so tired, why I can't concentrate or update my stories, and why my medication isn't helping. Because of my anemia, my medication is not working properly because not enough blood or oxygen is getting to my brain. So, no matter how much it gets increased, my meds won't work.
Now that my doctor knows I have anemia, I'm going to start getting IV infusions of iron. That should help my memory, concentration, mood, energy, and the effectiveness of my meds. I don't know how long it will take for me to feel completely better, but I did read that there is a significant improvement after the first dose.
That said, I hope that after my infusion next week, my mind will be able to work well enough to update more quickly. I know it's been frustrating to you all having to wait for updates, and I'm sorry about that. Hopefully, this year, things will change. In the meantime, I'm still working on some stories as ideas occur to me.
So, that's what is going on. Thank you all for sticking with me, and I hope you continue to wait patiently. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment, and I'll let you know what happens next week. Bye for now, and have a good day or evening.

@fvckyachickenstripx Did you not have any appetite? Because I seem to be always hungry and nothing satisfies it. I have also developed Pica.
