[ Art! I'm secretly working on some t-shirts, buttons, prints, and original art for a trunk show at the end of the month. Leftovers will be sold online and I hope to open up a permanent shop for customers.

I'll be running an eco-friendly line, with some special 100% organic cotton tee-shirts from Edun-live (African aid effort) and buttons from the eco-friendly Busy Beaver Button Company, a company run out of U. S. with recycled products.

I'm excited about the new line. :3 ]

[ I have a health update. The B-12 and TSH (Thyroid) tests came out normal. My morning cortisol is bordering on high. I don't know if he'll want to do any more tests concerning this issue. I've put in a request for a Vitamin D and Liver Function Test and any others that the doc wants to do. I'll probably get those early next week.

Managing the severe and chronic pain is helping quite a bit, I'm back up on my feet again and have been working fairly regularly. The nerve damage is still evident, as I'm stiff when I walk, but tolerating things better.

I'm on a low dose of tylenol atm, breaking it up into 125 mg doses every 4 hours or so. My guess is that the lower dose will be better tolerated by the liver, but I want to be careful with it. I was on stimulants such as psuedoephedrine (low dose) for a long time and I heard they will damage the liver as well. So I'm having it checked. It did help control the pain though, and by proxy helped control the nerve damage, immune dysfunction, and other effects.]

[ I love you all. Thank you for your support in this difficult time. I will continue to leave this post open until I know something more concrete about my health. ]
