Ugh. · 5:31pm Mar 2nd, 2016
I'm trying to finish the seventh chapter of NE and to be honest, my writing is mostly being driven by the fact that I want to keep my mind occupied.
I got a rash on my neck last night and today I feel feverish, so I have stopped taking the meds and tomorrow I'm going to the doctor (I couldn't get an appointment today). Writing is the only thing keeping me marginally sane at the moment.
im not being rude but try being me im tthe only normal guy in my crazy family and my craziness is taking over
I´m terribly sorry for that. I know how easily those little annoyances can ruin your day. Thanks to a problem with my jaw I´m constantly hearing a ringing in my ears that doesn´t stop unless I´m playing music in my headphones.

I have something like that too, but it comes and goes. It feels like a rapid heartbeat in my right ear.
Today though, I am mostly worrying that I'm having a very bad side effect to my meds, so I've stopped taking them. Trying not to think too much about it, hence plodding through with the writing, which is actually going very slowly, but at least I'm doing something.

The idea of your medicine actually making you feel worse is quite horrifying. Again, I pity you. In a good way. As good as it can be.
...
As you can see, I´m not very good at making other people feel better.
From my experience, this kind of things can turn unbearable, but it all comes and goes. Try to be patient and it´ll go away. I´m speaking from experience about general issues such as this; I´m afraid I have no real knowledge on what´s currently happening to you. But if you want to chat or kill time I´m right here for you.

I just basically plowed through with the writing. I'll be seeing the doctor tomorrow. I have no idea if it's the meds making me feel this way, but since my symptoms do match some of the ones listed, including the beginnings of one I'm feeling anxious about, it's best to check.
Your words have made me feel better, actually. It's nice to know that there are people who care and I feel like I can't tell people I know very well because they'll be worried sick and I don't need guilt on top of everything else.
Hi there! You don't know me, I've been lurking around for the last couple of months reading a lot of FIM fics and you're one of the authors I've found that I really like. I just wanted to let you know that I'm sorry to hear you're going through this health scare! I am crossing my fingers and hoping very much that it isn't serious. It can be so hard dealing with worry and anxiety over medication and side effects, and even worse when you're having symptoms that might be a sign of something serious. I really wish that they'd managed to get you in for an appointment today!
Anyway, just dropping a quick message to let you know that you're in my thoughts. I just wish I was in a position to do something more.
Ah, I'm so sorry to hear that, a rash really? I hope they are seeing you early tomorrow so you don't have to spend more time feeling anxious and feverish. Please try to rest easy tonight, I'm sending you all the good thoughts from way over in 'merica.

Yeah, I´ve been there. I usually tell other people when I feel kinda sick, but I try not to push it too much down their throats. It´s a really awful situation. You know that telling them won´t make you feel any better and the only thing it will accomplish is making them worried, but that´s your first instinct and can´t get it out of your head.
I think that if you have everything sorted out, checking with a doctor and the only thing left to do is wait, you could try to hold on a little longer and not get anyone upset. Unless you feel that human comfort will really make you feel better, in which chase, feel free to look for comfort among your friends and family. They are your friends and family after all.

Thank you all for your extremely kind words.
An update: I got back the doctor and it's likely that the fever is a bug. There are loads going around. She told me it would be fine to keep taking the meds and that if the rash was serious it would remain on my skin rather than disappearing again. It would also be a lot more hive-like. I'm so relieved. I've had maybe 6 hours sleep between the past two nights. I guess that's to be expected when the leaflet says "see a doctor if you have a rash no matter how mild." But I'm glad she clarified the difference between a rash that merits seeing a doctor and just...a rash.
So yeah, I think I'm okay. Thank you all so much for caring, it's made me feel better through this rubbish.

I´m glad to hear the good news! See? Everything sorted out in the end.

Thank you for the update. I was thinking about you this morning and hoping you were ok. I'm glad you can keep on the medicine and give it a chance to see if you like it. Yay NOT the crazy rash of legend!
I hope you get some amazing sleep tonight.
