At Games Week last year I started having some mysterious health issues. A sinus infection, excruciating back pain, and numbness in my feet. It took several months, a lot of doctor's visits, and 5 MRIs to figure out what was going on.

The MRIs showed lesions in my spinal cord and brain. The diagnosis was Multiple Sclerosis. The exact cause of MS is unknown but stress is strongly suspected to be a factor. I suspect the stress of the sinus infection during Games Week was the catalyst.

I've been on immunotherapy for 6 months. That sounds scarier than it is -- It's just a pill I take twice a day. It has some unpleasant side effects but they're manageable. I've been having blood tests every month. Had another MRI last week. I'm getting some disability assistance.

MS is not the horrible diagnosis it used to be thanks to recent medical advances, & I have a lot of support. Still, it's been a lot to deal with as this is also the year I've gone indie & started working on my game full time. The lead up to Games Week has been particularly hard.

I previously didn't want to talk about this publicly because it felt like a private matter, but it's been stifling to feel like I'm keeping a secret. I haven't been able to share a lot of what's been happening with me or how I've been feeling because of it.

Today I will see the results of that last MRI and find out if my meds have been effective at slowing or stopping the progression of the disease. Fingers crossed, everybody.
