After nearly a year and a half of dealing with various symptoms & health issues; I finally got diagnosed with #Fibromyalgia last week.

I knew nothing about this disease until about 3 weeks ago.

And for quite some time I was seeing a doctor who did not believe it existed.

From the commercials on TV you just think it is some chronic pain disorder.

Let me tell you, it is anything but just pain.

No one tells you of the irreparable damage it causes to your memory and concetration - known as fibro-fog.

They also dont tell you of the chronic fatigue

Ever get that odd feeling where a word doesn't look right? And you stare at it and you know its right, but it looks odd and strangely alien to you?

Imagine that, but for entire subject matters. And it comes randomly. It can last seconds, hours, days.

It has been a struggle.

Days when you have fibro-fog are hard, but combine that with being *exhausted* from just sitting, it is def crippling.

Combine that with the spontaneous feeling of having a really really bad sunburn all over your back and arms and legs.

This is my life now.

So, in light of all of this - working on medication, therapy, and other fixes, I can finally get back to trying to getting back more into infosec and giving back to you all here.

I let a lot of you all down when I dropped support for #noobcon & working on #Hephaestus project.

I fully intend to rectify these and get back into the swing of things and making these happen in the future.

I am sorry for letting a lot of you down - it will take some time but I am working on both of these.
