(Fen Note: I pushed a new patch but edited the timestamp to put it below Shou’s post due to the seriousness of it.)
Hello everyone, Shou here.
So a lot of you have probably been wondering where the heck I’ve been the last two months. Well, it turns out – I’ve been really sick. I’ll give you guys a small breakdown, but most of this is just going to be general information since I wanna keep a lot of my medical stuff private. I have been suffering from pretty bad joint pain, and for a while there I couldn’t go up and down the stairs without crying because of how bad the joints in my hands, wrists, ankles, and knees were.
I went to the doctor when it got this bad and they ran me through a battery of tests and medications, and slowly discovered over the past weeks what worked and what didn’t. I was diagnosed with a few things; including a simple (but not so simple solution) autoimmune disorder with reactive arthritis. It explains why I get so sick so easily, and why my joints hurt so bad. The arthritis is new, but an expected development, and now we’re just figuring out medicine and treatments for me going in the future. Along with extra lab tests to treat more of the underlying causes.
What does this mean?? I’m still going to be working of course, now that I am on medicine and beginning to feel better. But I am a bit on the slower side as I try to minimize the damage to my joints. As the coming weeks go, however, I should be getting back up to speed due to the medications and looking forward to seeing all your wonderful faces in my streams again! I have missed you guys a lot, and I have especially missed working and just hanging out!
So in the coming days look for me to announce a Livestream and come hang out with me!
Your support means everything!
I missed you too. 🙁
Be aware that no matter how often you stream or draw art we still love it!
So no hurries. Stay safe and do whats best at that specific moment.
Glad you’re starting to feel better.
Been a while since i’ve really watched any streams, but it’s good that you’re feeling better than you’ve been. I know what it’s like to have joint pains so bad it’s hard to walk sometimes, so i wish you the best on your way forward.
You SHOUldn’t push yourself so hard
Sorry not sorry :3
Glad you’re getting better and i wish you the best
Well I for one, am glad to hear you’re feeling better bb. ^-^ stay safe. And continue to improve. I can’t wait to hear from ya again 😀
Glad to hear from you. Bummer about the medical diagnosis.
You’re not even in your 50s are you? Take care, best wishes and good fortune to you.
Glad to see you back!
Get well soon
Be well.
My brother and my mother both have an auto immune disorder. I like to think that I didn’t develop it because I wasn’t breastfed and my brother was (something about getting your mom’s immune system if you breastfeed or something). In other news, that’s supposed to be a silly mode version of a bust? Does that mean we’ll get other silly mode bust variants?
Take care and stay safe out there
You’re health is more important, and joint pain is no fun. Take care of yourself, and we’ll be here when you feel well enough 🙂
I’m sure you can get a legion of fanatical followers/servants to serve you and get things done in your castle
Hoping that you feel better Shou, hopefully like you said that medicines your taking will get you back into better health quickly.
take care of yourself and rest well.
hoping your pain will go away soon
I’m sorry to hear about the arthritis, but i know what thats like, it took me 11 years to be properly diagnosed with mine and still struggling.
Damn man, I wish you all the best and in regards to arthritis I recommend some changes in diet – for example Keto helped some people I know a lot to get the worst of it under control.
Sugar and carbs can lead to some really bad reactions, but also some/a lot of fruits and vegetables can lead to issues. It all depends on the person.
In all seriousness, check out this website of Mikhaila Peterson who has almost the exact thing you have and her struggle with food:

A friend of mine also has an autoimmune disorder and tried this and she had some excellent results.
You feeling better is far more important then the game, take care of yourself first, then worry about the game etc. I hope you feel better! 🙂
We love you, Shou!! I hope you feel better soon!!! <3 <3 <3
Hey Shou, if you can find it, Blue Emu cream helps a bunch with the arthritis in my shoulder. Hope you feel better ^^
Shou i feel you I got sick and ended up with an autoimmune disease a few years back and now have neuromytonia all i can say is the pain hurts but it gets somewhat better as you continue.
dont be saddened by it just strive to do your best everyday and taker things one step at a time.
if you ever need someone to talk to about it let me know. I have been in a similar place.
