Just a small update from me.  I know I haven't posted anything for a very long time.  This laptop I am using is not very good for doing digital artwork.  But my main PC should come out of a box this week, and I hope to God it still works after months in a container.

I still have another thing holding me back.  The chronic daily neck pain that forced me to quit my job is still with me.  I have been misdiagnosed and mistreated so many times it isn't even funny any more.  Not that it ever was.  The positive news is that I have found some medical advice that really seems to offer some hope.  This isn't a disc problem, it isn't fybromyalgia, it isn't any of the other crap I heard about and it can't be treated with pharmaceuticals and machines (don't I know it).  I am now treating this as Whiplash tendonitis of the neck and am going to treat myself at home with stretching exercises, ice and proper nutrition.  

I supposed I should have seen this pattern before and worked out what was really wrong with me.  I had a bad car accident at the end of 2009 and this left me susceptible to an RSI type injury caused by bad posture.  A year later when I was working night and day on Ciara's Egyptian Nightmare, I developed this horrible neck ache that just came on whenever I sat in front of the computer (or even sat down to eat) and just has ruined my life since.

Let's hope I can get out of this.  There is SO much I would be writing and drawing if I wasn't such a fucking physical wreck right now.  I even think I have some RSI developing in my right wrist as well.  I am treating this at the same time.

Anyway thanks for your continued watching and patience and wish me luck while I try to deal with this life-destroying health problem.  I want to get back to Amanda and the girls so badly but you may have to bear with me a little longer if I need to give working on the computer a wide berth.

Get better my friend, I didn't read this before, my apologies in advance. As an advice maybe you could consider Acupunture and also Ozonotherapy

best regards
