A Long Road

Von's Journal

+ FMS has been wearing on me. I was on trial Parkinson's meds for about a week (Parkinsons and FMS are both neurological dysfunctions). The first two days I felt great, great sleep, little pain. Unfortunately, it took a sad turn and I started showing signs of the serious side effects. It made for a rough week, full of panic attacks, breathing and heart dysfunctions, severe neuro distress and mood changes, and very little sleep. The meds had to be reduced gradually as coming straight off them can cause even more serious issues. It's been frightening and unpleasant. Sometimes, you have to take a couple hard hits before moving ahead.

I'm not walking well anymore, this bothers me. Before no one could really tell I had FMS, now signs of illness are starting to show on the outside. I limp in my right leg especially, people are starting to notice. It's like being a wounded gazelle on the Serengetti.

+ So since the last week was so difficult, I got very little done. For that I am sorry. :( I have little to show you for this week. Plus I've got other stuff to do to get caught up this week, so it'll be later mid-week before I can start more art.

Edit: I'm still having some panic attacks. I'm on break for the week I'm afraid unless something changes. I felt great this morning, then all of a sudden it hit me. Due to the nature of the attacks, it makes it impossible to focus and work.

+ That's about it. Everyone's new drawings are looking lovely! :) Very cool work going on out there. Wish I had time to comment more.

+ I should be at Jackson Comic Convention (Jackson, MS) in July. I'll post details later.

good luck lav. You probably don't remember me but I used to be a regular at your shop on gaia (my username was angel junkie...I forget what it was before that). I have been a fan of yours since I first came across you several years ago and i wish that I had you talent. I hope that things get better for you! :love:
:iconlavonia:
:) How have things been going for you? I've wondered how you've been. ^^

I've been doing okay. Still working. Slowly sometimes, but still at it. It's so good to hear from you. :hug:

things are different. I am doing for the most part well. I get so busy since I am going back to college (decided on the boring business degree) and i work full-time now. Oh and my relationship is a little rocky, but nothing too bad. I'm alive and have relatively good health
:iconlavonia:
Well, I wish you well. I think I read a little in your journal about some of the relationship problems you've been having. You'll be in my thoughts. Sounds like you've got a lot in your life going. Makes things hard sometimes.

I'd been having some problems in my marriage, we'll be married 10 years in December. Things seem to be okay for now, but I'm still shaken.
