Quick update!
Hello everyone! 🥰
I hope you're all doing great! 🙏
I’ve been completely offline since late July due to a severe and unexpected health crash. My cardiovascular system has essentially failed to maintain my blood volume and pressure for more than a decade now, and unfortunately, with the hot weather lately, I haven't been able to function or even use my brain at all, which completely grounded me and made it physically impossible to sit at a desk or even work from my bed on any type of Custom Content for the past month and a half or even give you a little message. Shoutout to anyone in this community dealing with POTS. My heart goes out to you ❤❤
I am currently in a transition phase, tweaking medications and waiting for my nervous system to recalibrate 🤞
However, this week I have been able to work for 7 hours for the first time since the end of July 😍 so that I have finished some new CCs to share with all of you (wallpapers, rugs, and posters - no new 3D models yet). I will be dropping these on Patreon over the next little while to get some fresh content out to you 🥳🥳
I can't wait to be physically cleared to handle longer work sessions because I missed The Sims 4 too much 😱 Last time I didn't play or create anything for The Sims for as long as a month and a half was ... when the game didn't even exist yet 😂🙈
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to those who stuck around, and thank you for your patience while I get my system back online 🙏
Full love everyone ❤❤❤

Thank you so much, Simserei 🥰🥰🥰 Sending lots of love to anyone dealing with a health issue!!! 🙏🙏🙏 This is no joke!
You're worth waiting for but more importantly it's good that your health is improving. Nothing more frustrating than the feeling that your body has let you down and is taking forever to cooperate with your medical regime.

Thank you so much OMJess!! 🙏🙏❤❤
congrats on recovery phase : ) i have some understanding of similar health hells myself though no diagnosis yet hopefully soon. hopefully the new system/meds continues to improve for you. do you keep notes on what works somewhere? i always write in my journal but never read it again >.>
Thank you so much Wyrdesme!!! 🖤🖤 I totally get never rereading your journal notes 🙈 Instead of a diary, I basically just log my data in the HOPE of never going through a crash like this again! Since doctors just throw beta-blockers at me (which makes my specific issue so much worse 😂), I have to manage the system myself, as I did 6/9 years ago. I calculate my Shock Index and Pulse Pressure with a blood pressure monitor, so I know exactly if I'm in hypovolemia or not. Based on those numbers, I then use Quinton water, ORS, and strategic foods that give me water, salt, and sugar all at once (like melon with prosciutto!). It's exactly thanks to all this that I am finally back today (only halfway for now, but I'm actually sitting at my desk right now! 😂) I really hope you get your diagnosis and some answers very soon! 💪🖤 Wish you the very best 😘😘
