00:00How are you feeling right now, currently, both physically and emotionally?
00:04I'm a wreck. I'm a hopeful wreck. I have a pounding headache today. I just, I had this
00:12PICC line put in here in New York City yesterday. I had my first round of antibiotics with Dr.
00:17Michael Skoma, who I randomly met on Twitter. I know, social media is saving my life again.
00:24And it also ruined your life. But it takes me back to the drinking and tweeting of it all.
00:30I'm like, listen, sometimes you've got to go to the public. I just, I don't feel like myself. I
00:36don't look like myself. I, I don't like to be seen like this. That's why I've been kind of not seen
00:42like this. I've been isolating for the past few years for the most part or making everyone retouch
00:46everything that, you know, I do. I'm, I'm very not myself. I've lost my oomph, you know, my,
00:53I'm very insecure right now. Yeah. Near New York right now to meet with Dr. Michael
00:57and start doing what kinds of treatments? Well, Dr. Michael is an infectious disease doctor and he
01:03specializes in like, like obviously like super hard to treat things where people can't get a
01:09diagnosis. But we are under the impression right, right now we're, we're starting with IV antibiotics
01:15and fungal medications because a lot of people aren't realizing that, you know, there's random
01:22funguses people are bringing over from other countries. And like, I always joke, like my life
01:29is like, what is it called? That show The Last of Us? Yes. Where we're, I'm just turning into one of
01:34those like black mold people with the, cause you know, I mean, it's true. That's how I felt like I
01:41have like lumps on my face and they're moving around. I mean, it's definitely calmed down since
01:46I was treated for the parasite, but now I'm left with infection in my skin and, um, my fatty tissue
01:55in my skin. And I have fluid that comes out of my ear. I have like, it's, if you gray spots on my face
02:03and it's all sunken in. And so there's secondary infections that came from the, the trip to Morocco.
02:10I'm just going to say that. So the question is how I'm feeling. I, my head is aching and I have
02:17brain fog today, which I didn't really have yesterday, but I'm, I'm, I'm hopeful. Once you do
02:24heal as much as we can heal, is there anything you can do for your physical appearance? Like,
02:30would you go down that road again? Or would you just, are you just trying to like heal the heal
02:35versus like thinking down that part? Well, no, I definitely can't do anything right away for,
02:40you know, I can't run and get a facelift. I was like, that's what I want to do. Cause this is like,
02:45I'll just buy some face tape or whatever. But, um, the doctor actually said my, my skin should
02:51regenerate, um, quite a bit, not, not as much as I would like because they did dissolve so much.
02:58Um, but it's going to be, uh, you know, at least a year before I can do anything cosmetic and I
03:03won't ever get an injectable again, even though Botox is just, I wish, I wish fillers, you can have
03:10them. I don't want them. Um, and no, I, I think that just like a lower face, it would be amazing.
