Why I stopped my 24 hour stream

Back in the summer of 2015, I developed some pretty severe back pain. I've always had back pain every now and then, but it always went away. That time however, it didn't. And it's been with me ever since.

My PCP referred me to a rheumatologist who determined it was more of a muscular thing than anything else, so things like massage and physical therapy are the ways to treat it. Well, both do the trick, however the next day it's just back the way it is. Really the only good way to fix it is for me to stay active and moving. That's why when I was at AGDQ, SGDQ, and PAX, I'm usually pretty okay; I'm constantly moving. When I'm doing my normal job, followed by sitting at my desk at home, it gets worse and worse. Siting in the same chair for 24 hours just isn't a good idea for me lol.

I really shouldn't try to do these sorts of things (really long streams) but I really love to do them. I'll probably not do another one for a while. I'd like to get a new chair to see if that helps, but I would need to do research and save up for one (not in a position to spend money all willy nilly right now). Hopefully we can figure something out.

Thanks for understanding. eddaket <3
