Some good news regarding my health. · 5:09pm Nov 15th, 2019

I apologize but I have been a bit sluggish in updates recently because it's been a rather crazy week. I'm working on the next chapter for My Sister, Cozy Glow and I'm liking it so far. :pinkiesmile:



Without going into much detail, I was diagnosed with early-stage PSC after some routine blood work earlier this year. I am currently asymptomatic, but it has taken a toll on my mental health due to the uncertainty of the disease. Occasionally I get depressed or very anxious.

Good news is, I went for a follow-up ultrasound this week, and my bile ducts have actually returned to normal size. Without any medication. Despite the fact everyone said it was going to get worse.

Of course I know I'm not out of the woods yet, and I don't know what the next 10 to 30 years will hold, but then nobody does. I am hopeful.

There have been positives, actually, after my diagnosis. I've become more attached to the brony fandom after my diagnosis. I've made great strides in overcoming my social anxiety. I'm less anxious about grades, deadlines, or checking all the boxes. I've been more willing to express myself and not be afraid of how others judge me. My Myers-Briggs personailty type changed from INTJ to INFP.

Your support of my stories keeps me sane sometimes, so thank you, and keep it coming! :pinkiehappy:

I've heard of many tragic health stories on this site, and I hope that I can be a message of hope in contrast to that. I've still got a lot of work to do myself, but...live your life. Enjoy it. And don't let fear get in the way.

See y'all soon.

Oh, this sounds serious. I'm really sorry that you have to go through that. But it's a good thing to hear that your health is improving.
As for your writing, do not worry! Take all the time you need. Let me tell you, I think you're a really talented author and I don't mind waiting for updates.

Glad to hear you’re doing better! While reading about what you had, I went on a bit of a Wikipedia binge. I never quite knew what bile did before.
