I ended up in hospital over night last night because of severe headaches affecting my jaw , vision and balance.
Anyway whilst there I got test results from an mri last week , and good news and bad news I guess. I have one small benign tumour which for now is absolutlry no worry , I'll need to monitor it moving forward (it's size etc because if it gets too big it could become a problem ) . But for now I'm all good :)
Moving on to news number two , It's basically been confirmed I have temporal arteritis , my temple is now physically swollen like you can feel it , but I've got to have some more tests to have it officially confirmed. I have to have a biopsy later this week to take a piece of it and have it examined lmao fun fun . And once it's confirmed I'll be on steroids for atleast the next year or two :3 but it is like semi curable in the long run which is positive I guess ^_^ basically they can't confirm that it would never swell up again and be a problem , but the steroids should make fit allot more unlikely too happen :D
Anyway until I've had it all confirmed I'll be living off of strong ass pain killers and predominantly just staying in bed and resting. Basically last night was a mind fuck of emotions but I think for the most part It was positive news :D
Oh extra info - please stop smoking yall , they lit told me I'm 3ither being carbon monoxide poisoned in my house (we have a detector so Ik It isn't that lmao ) or I smoke far too much as I had really high levels of it in my blood 🙃 another reason not to smoke , I picked up nicotine patches and gum whilst there lmao . I knew smoking was bad for me , but carbon monoxide poisoning was not a fear I knew I needed to have LMAO

Oh Zac, that is a lot. Hugs. Glad there is some good news though, and I hope everything goes well going forward.
Glad it's not the c word and that this is somewhat a better prognosis. Sorry u will have to deal with the other stuff but if it helps make u better than I'm all for it.
Zac :(
Hopefully you are doing well… growing up, my parents were really strict Abdou smoking and drinking. I can’t stop thanking them for that, because it allows me to never have the envy of it.
cheritaisdeliciouskiki4evermidiawsamsam ty guys <3 honestly I'll take the trade off any day, definatley took it all more positively than I think this blog let's on ^_^ it is all a bit daunting, but compared to what I've spent the past few weeks thinking I'd be dealing with pt doesn't seem to bad if that makes any sense , small victories and what not lmao !
