Status Update · 1:29am Aug 27th, 2012
I kinda wish I knew where to start with this, but things are still in flux.
I'm still very weak and it's trickier to type than it should be. It takes a lot of effort and focus and it's a lot more tiring than normal.
My symptoms are in constant flux, but they all revolve a particular set. I hope to be able to see a doctor within the next few days to get this checked out. There are a lot of possibilities as to what this could be, and none of them are especially good. Some are… exceptionally bad. Lethal, even, in the long or even medium term. Sadly, getting to a neurologist might take time.
That having been said, I'm a notorious worry wart. When I don't have answers, I start to do research. A lot of people can tell you that this is not an exactly mentally healthy thing to do. People tend to latch on to bad things. I'm definitely one of those types. Also, I did have an MRI done about six weeks ago, and it was clean other than sinusitis. Still, there's an awful lot of bad in my symptoms right now, and some things do not show up on an MRI, including one of the worst case scenarios.
Updates are going to get farther and farther apart, I'm afraid, unless things turn around somehow. I'm praying that this is just a pinched nerve or something.
Anyway, random question, what do you guys think of the chapter titles so far? They're actually some of the trickiest bits to make for the story.

Oh no you don't get to die the power of Pinkie compels you to LIVE
I lurv the titles.
The most recent ch. title was great. Keep it up! (like I said before, NO DYING)
What are the most common symptoms, and what do you/docs think it is?

Haven't seen a doc for this yet, it's too recent. It all got really bad on Friday night. I plan on begging for an appointment ASAP to my neurologist.
My arms are very weak and my coordination is going down the toilet. What really, really worries me though, is that one of my fingers isn't responding like it should. My right ring finger literally failed to heed a command earlier, less than an hour ago. That's new, and extremely worrying.
At this point, it could be anything from a pinched nerve to ALS. That last one? Most die in just a few years. I'm terrified beyond the ability to write for tonight.

Damn man. That sucks to hear. It seems there's some kind of epidemic going through the author community as of late.
Yeah, chapter titles are some of the hardest parts of the creative process for a story. It's why most of my stories just give the chapter number so I don't have to agonize over such a small part of a fic.
I'm pulling for you! Get this checked out and take care of yourself!
to your problems, whatever they may be. I say

To your chapter titles, I say. Keep up the good work, pretty much everything about your fic is
Get better soon. =3

Yes!
Anyway, you're not allowed to die. Seriously. Here's hoping that you can get that appt. soon and get back on your way to recovery.
Oh yeah, and I like the chapter titles, too. Along with the rest of the story.
