Delays (due to health condition)
2 months ago
It's a bit TMI but I don't mind sharing to be transparent.
I'm an intersex (hermaphrodite is an outdated term but more common knowledge, so I will use that for clarity's sake) individual with PCOS, meaning that when I DO get my period (which is rare) it's extreme and leaves me bed-ridden.
I have an immeasurable amount of cysts on my ovaries, and I get high levels of testosterone and progesterone - especially during my period. Those hormones cause intense cramping akin to actual childbirth and labor contractions, and I have been known to dilate severely when on my period. My cysts will all rupture during my period which imo, sucks and feels like a mini pain grenade going off inside.
My pelvis will also dislocate sometimes, which is why its important I limit my movements during it.
And currently, I just woke up to one of the most intense period cramps and -immediate- bleeding I've ever had, so I am GOING THRU IT. Trying to stay positive, but sitting up at my computer to draw is going to be difficult - and my already limited mobility will have to be spent doing cleaning for my apartment inspection upcoming on the 27th - 30th.
This means there will be a bit of a delay on what I expected to deliver for the end of this month. I'm really sorry for the delay, and once the inspection and my period end, I will resume work as normal!
