Health and Income Update
Added 2021-02-03 01:39:55 +0000 UTCMinor Improvement
I continue to show minor improvements each month... Now I can work, drive, and sit up in the living room more than I could, and with less pain than before. Still, I am in daily pain, which often prevents me from having a normal day, or from working, and if I do work it's never for more than a couple hours.
Major Issue
Even worse, are these new set of night sweats; Now when I fall asleep, if I have ANY cover/sheet on my body, or my leg is even touching a cover and not exposed to the fan blowing over it (it's 67F in here btw even without the fan) I start to sweat. It's part of the TSW symptoms, a sign that I'm improving, but it's a very hard time. I wake up covered in sweat, most of the time in pain because it makes my skin burn. It can also make me have nightmares. Then I have to air dry, roll over, stop crying, and go back to sleep... 4-6 times a night for 10-14 hours just to feel like I got enough sleep. Then when I do get up, instead of being refreshed, I'm raw and the cold shower may burn. According to people who have been through TSW, this symptom can last weeks or months... God I hope it's not gonna last too long, as sleep was one of my only breaks from the pain, even if for a few hours at a time to regenerate some skin.
Income
We're still getting some supplementary income from the government, but I have fallen below the rent line of $700 here on my Patreon, which is a concern.
