Health Update 2: Babesia Boogaloo

  • My long health journey may actually be coming to an end soon. I received a confirmation for my diagnosis of babesia infection and completed the standard treatment protocol. Basically, I had to take some really strong antibiotics for 2 weeks. It appears that the cause for many of my health issues may have been a parasitic tickborne illness called babesiosis. This video also serves as a channel update and Bumi update.

      Ain't it weird how we're all fighting some horrible illness recently? I've literally never needed the hospital ever really, my health record looks non-existent, and I went to the doctor recently and found out I have a b12 deficiency and b9 borderline deficiency. This happened around the same time, September/October. People around me and even neighbours have started coming down with some sort of illness. Just found out one of them was diagnosed with a b12 deficiency as well! Hopefully, we can all recover from our sickness and get back to normal.

    I have experienced all types of perspectives on the condition that I have. Over the past few months I've been keeping up with you and I have also noticed the "painfully slow improvements" in my life as well. Don't worry about the people doubting your condition I have to tell myself this too. Also being patient and understanding that I have to take care of my health and my path for growth is just paved differently. Cheers to coming out better on the other side!

    You're FINALLY seeing a light at the end of your health journey. I have been following you for a long time, and as someone with a pretty rare disorder myself: I know the "a-ha" moment of getting a formal diagnosis after 10+ years of trying to figure out what is going on. Stay strong and blessed Drift0r.

    Honestly Driftor, I'm so happy you're finally getting better. I've been having my own health issues (problems with eating, everything makes me feel nauseous, can't eat large meals anymore, burping all the time) and I just feel like getting nowhere, its so frustrating. I've just had to get my gallbladder removed as I've lost so much weight in a short time that it stopped functioning correctly. The doctors don't seem to care and at this point I've no idea where to go from here as the Health Service in the UK is so broken it's unreal.

I know you said you have no interest in keep talking about SBMM in CoD, but I'm curious about your thoughts on the SBMM experience in CoD as a consequence of various factors (like outdated algorithm, obsolete server logistics, lack of dedicated servers for other regions in America, etc)

    This is excellent news! I think I speak for a lot of the people here when I say this, we are here for YOU, and if that means 1 video per month, we'd be happy so long as you're not pushing yourself.
    I am curious if you've thought about doing podcasts before? I know it takes more time, and some podcasts are around an hour long. However, maybe a shorter podcast, like a 30-minute podcast, would be reasonable. This is just an idea, but I wanted to suggest it since your videos are closer to the podcast format.
    Your perseverance is admirable, and it's great to hear things are heading in the right direction!
