My future is uncertain... · 4:02pm Feb 13th, 2023
So, this is a mix of good news and bad news.
The bad news is that my undiagnosed condition has been deemed severe enough that I am no longer able to work, and there are heavy restrictions on my ability to drive. As in... I essentially can't anymore.
Contractually, I can't lose my job over this. Not for at least another six months or so... I think. I have some legal protections built-in with my work, so I don't have to worry for a while. Regardless...
Last week when I went to see one of my doctors to try and schedule an appointment with a neurologist, I ended up having an episode, and they didn't know if I was having a stroke, a seizure, or both.
The following tests I received in the ER indicated it wasn't a stroke, and they still don't know what is causing me these issues. Even still, all the meds they've been giving me haven't stopped my symptoms from recurring. The theories still range from transient ischemic attacks (TIA (which is a min-stroke, but no Doc can explain how this would be happening), epilepsy, blood pressure complication-related events (too broad to narrow down), complex migraines, functional neurologic disorders (FNDs), which I'm slowly learning more about.
How this affects me and what I do here has yet to be seen.
Well shit... Life can be cruel. I hope you get better soon

I appreciate the well-wishes, but this has been going on for so long with no real progress. I imagine the realistic outlook is it's going to take a long while.

I consider myself a man of faith. I just suck at putting it to use most of the time... thus the content I create here.
Regardless, I appreciate the well-wishes.
