My end of the year review is a hopeful look towards 2024 because 2023 will go down as the worst follow-up to a bad year ever.
August 2022, Dad passes.
November 2022, Wife t-boned in an Oklahoma City intersection; diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury.
15 January 2023, I am transported by ambulance and admitted to the hospital for trouble breathing & walking. 🚑 I am diagnosed with Influenza A and Pneumonia which was the trigger for a rare condition called Guillain-Barré Syndrome. It’s where the immune system decides the peripheral nervous system is the enemy and attacks those nerve endings. 🦠
Tumblr media
Medically induced sleep, ventilator, feeding tube, PIC line.
23 January 2023, wake up on a ventilator and find I am completely paralyzed from the neck down. 🥺 While I was asleep, I was treated for ventilator pneumonia, had a blood transfusion and 5 rounds of plasmapheresis. Basically, they replaced my icky blood plasma with nice fresh plasma from the blood bank. 🩸
26 January 2023, extubated and off the ventilator for about 3 hours when I suffer cardiac arrest and briefly die. 10 chest compressions plus a shot of something and I’m back on the ventilator when I wake up again. 💀 They said I had carbon dioxide poisoning, which caused the cardiac arrest. Now there is talk of a possible tracheotomy if my body refuses to tolerate being off the ventilator. That would have meant shaving off my 13 year beard. And being moved to a long term care facility. I’m against all of these ideas. 🤬 Months after my release, the nurse manager of the ICU assured me that shaving off the beard would have been absolutely avoided. 😍
A week or so later, they remove the ventilator once more, but this time, thank fuck, my body remembers how to breathe. I’m starting to regain movement in my fingers and toes and then I can lift my arms and legs. The nerve pain is un-fucking-bearable.
Tumblr media
I’m awake! And still bearded! Huzzah! 🎉
15 February 2023 left the ICU, transferred to an inpatient rehabilitation hospital right next door, where I, in my 40s, have to learn how to walk again.
15 March 2023 A very long and exhausting 30 days later I go home with a walker but within a week or so I’m pretty much walking on my own. During my time in the rehab hospital we discover I am incredibly allergic to Lyrica. 🫠 I won’t go into detail but let’s just say it was the worst bad trip ever.
I lost ~40 pounds on the ICU diet. Fast forward to today and I’m about 90-95% of where I was a year ago although I still have a lot peripheral nerve pain, balance issues, and I’m always tired. Thankfully the nerve pain is nothing like it was in the ICU.
Tumblr media
My beard and I going through some things.
In the end, I am incredibly lucky to have the love and support of my wife, my mom, my sister, my nieces, and of course my Internet hooligan friends, and last but definitely not least, my #spiderSilk🕷️🕸️ family, there to help me persevere and make a speedier than expected recovery. ❤️‍🩹
I am hopeful that 2024 will be the year I shrug off GBS for good. 🤙🏻
I’m not crying, you’re crying.

Definition and pathogenesis – The acute immune-mediated polyneuropathies are classified under the eponym Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). The acute polyneuropathy of GBS is triggered when an immune response to an antecedent event cross-reacts with shared epitopes on peripheral nerve (molecular mimicry).
●Antecedent triggers – Most patients report an antecedent infection or other event in the four weeks prior to GBS. Upper respiratory tract infection and gastroenteritis are the most common infections, and Campylobacter jejuni gastroenteritis is the most commonly identified precipitant of GBS.
●Epidemiology – GBS occurs worldwide with an overall incidence of 1 to 2 cases per 100,000 per year. The incidence increases by approximately 20 percent with every 10-year increase in age.
●Clinical features – The typical clinical features of GBS include progressive and symmetric muscle weakness with absent or depressed deep tendon reflexes. Patients may also have sensory symptoms and dysautonomia.
•GBS symptoms typically progress over a period of two weeks. If the nadir is reached within 24 hours or after 4 weeks of symptom onset, alternative diagnoses must be considered.
•GBS is a heterogeneous syndrome with variant forms that may be identified by distinguishing clinical and pathologic features. Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy is the most common form of GBS. Common variant forms include acute motor axonal neuropathy, acute motor and sensory axonal neuropathy, Miller Fisher syndrome, and Bickerstaff brainstem encephalitis.
●Diagnostic evaluation – The initial diagnosis of GBS is based on the clinical features consistent with the syndrome: acute onset of progressive, mostly symmetric muscle weakness, and reduced or absent deep tendon reflexes. The clinical diagnosis of GBS is confirmed if cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and electrodiagnostic studies show typical abnormalities.
•CSF findings in patients with GBS is an albuminocytologic dissociation consisting of an elevated CSF protein (typically 45 to 200 mg/dL [0.45 to 2.0 g/L]) with a normal white blood cell count (typically <5 cells/mm3 but may be elevated up to 50 cells/mm3).
•Electrodiagnostic studies may show prolonged or absent F waves and absent H reflexes, increased distal latencies and conduction blocks with temporal dispersion, significant slowing or absent response on nerve conduction velocities, and reduced recruitment or denervation on needle electromyography of weak muscles.
•Laboratory testing is performed for all patients to screen other common causes of acute weakness. We reserve ganglioside autoantibody testing for patients with symptoms suggestive of a variant form of GBS. Neuroimaging is typically used for patients with atypical symptoms to exclude alternative etiologies.
●Differential diagnosis – The differential diagnosis of GBS includes chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, other acute polyneuropathies, and diseases of the spinal cord, neuromuscular junction, and muscle. Patients with features atypical for GBS should be evaluated for alternative sources to symptoms.

Hello fellow internetians,
So to start this off, I write and draw but I'm working may way up to accepting art requests so I'm starting with writing first since I've done so before.
The names I go by are Ash/Arena so please address me by either of you need to. About a year ago now, give or take a couple of months, I got sick and ever since I've been having to rely on my mother's income. I want to help her out and so I'm taking commissions in any of the fandoms I list on the first page. Rules will be included below and I have a goal in mind that I wish to reach.
Currently said goal is 500 a month but I want to keep a hold on this goal for periods of time so every time it hits I'll reset.
I'm still getting accounts to other platforms set up so if needed I can be reached across various different platforms so I can keep up with everyone and so you all can keep up with me.
-
Hello Everyone,
As I listed in the description this book is for commissions and for the most part I'll be collecting requests from this book while also posting the requests in this book so you all don't have to search far to find your story after I'm done writing them.
My name is Arena, though Ash and Ashes are other names that I don't mind you all calling me by either. I am 20 years old and so most of my work will be for adults considering I am one. If you aren't an adult though you can still request but you'll have to go to the 'Underage Requests' Page and do it there which I'll be making before Post an 'Adult Requests' Page. Please do not lie to me about your ages because if you do I'll be upset.
Now for my story:
About a year ago, give or take some months, I got sick with Guillain-Barre and so I haven't been able to work thanks to being currently disabled. I have written commissions before on here and ao3 (archiveofourown) on different accounts so I'm doing that again. When I have all my accounts fully set up I'll mention them on this account by name under my account so you all can branch out and find me if needed. As stated I haven't been able to work or attend college like I was before so this is my way of making some much needed cash for myself and my family.
If you don't have the money that's fine, I'm not talking to you, but I do appreciate you reading my book and sharing it to bring more people to it in the future.
From this point on I expect to have people contacting me so I'll go ahead and list my fandoms and prices.
I do write for OCS as well though so if you are looking for that just go ahead and skip to the next chapter which will be talking about my few rules for OCS. I also roleplay so I'm happy to accept and adopt other roleplayers that are literate like I am. If you are not looking for a partner but instead want to commission me to write out a certain scene from your own roleplays that's of course welcomed and accepted.
Fandoms:
- Castlevania
- My Hero Academia
- Diabolical Lovers
- Avatar/Legend of Korra
- Avatar (with the big blue ppl)
- Hellsing
- Black Butler
- Obey Me
- Stardew Valley
- Naruto Shippuden
- Across the Spiderverse
- The Arcana
- Records of Ragnarok
- Mortal Kombat
- Resident Evil Series
- Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss
- Detroit Becomes Human
((Keep in mind that the fandom list can and most likely will grow so if you are interested but your fandom isn't listed it is okay to ask me if I'll still write them. I'm in a lot of fandoms I just couldn't think of all the names at the moment))
Prices:
- 500 words for $5
- 1000 words for $15
- 2000 words for $25
- 3000 words for $35
- 4000 words for $45
- 5k words for $55
- 6k words for $65
- 7k words for $75
- 8k words for $85
- 9k words for $95
- 10k words for $105
Considering situations, sometimes stories will be longer than what was paid and it's okay, I won't go over to the point where the story leads into a different price range but a few extra words will go over the limit sometimes. If that happens, don't worry about it. It's free of charge after that so you don't have to pay extra.
I also want to mention that I also write for 'Monster Fuccers' so if you have a thing for DnD or some monster OC you want to hunch on I accept requests for those as well so don't by shy.
If you have questions on what I will or will not write even after reading all the pages that will be posted after this chapter then just comment here or dm more for answers. ÙwÚ
That's all for now I believe so for now I'll be checking out. Please excuse any typing errors if there are any, I'll be correcting them in my own time. (no, of course I'll make sure to double check and correct any errors that my be in your requests before sending it to you ) As I've said, if you have questions my dms and comments are always open so don't be afraid to ask me anything.
My payment methods are PayPal and Cashapp though PayPal can be a bit frustrating for me so depending on things I might close that option and only make Cash app my way of payment.
Thank you all for reading into this and I hope we can get along and can happy things rolling soon. Everyone who deserves it, have a blessed day! ✨✨✨

If you filed a vaccine injury claim and lost, you are not alone. Over the past 10 years, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims (the “Vaccine Court”) has dismissed thousands of claims under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). In fact, since Congress established the VICP in 1988, the Vaccine Court has dismissed more claims than it has compensated.

Guillain-Barre Syndrome
-- inflammatory polyneuritis
-- inflammatory disorder characterized by progression of paralysis
-- often follows a viral infection
-- occurs in those older than 45
-- higher frequency in Caucasians
-- peripheral nerves are infiltrated by immune cells that lead to inflammation and demyelination of the axon
-- paralysis begins in the legs and ascends
-- if it reaches the lungs, respiratory support is needed
-- plateau stage is most severe
-- plateau stage signals the end of progression
-- after this, remyelination occurs and symptoms regress
-- a descending form of the disease exists
