Quick update on the podcast and my health.

Health Updated: So for the past few months, I've been feeling sick. Daily fever from low 99f-102f.I've lost close to 10-12lb.Muscles and joints have become very sore and at times painful.Neuropathy has come back some as well. Depression has increased. Lack of sleep has also increased in these past months. As of Monday, December 7th My lab results have come back, they are very inconclusive. As of right now, autoimmune disease isn’t likely. Unless it a very underline autoimmune disease(which is possible). So they are running more labs and working on getting a CT scan this week. If the extra lab work comes back inconclusive as well, then we are looking to putting me into the hospital for IV's antibiotics and then diving deeper with more broad testing. In the last few days, my kidneys are starting to hurt as well. I'm completely exhausted. The next update should be Wednesday or Thursday. If you have any questions or would like updates, feel free to text me at 205.420.8893
