Just sent off my first ever invoice for my business...!! Now I need to start researching about how to pay quarterly taxes...

TLDR: If you have insurance and have been suffering with pain for years, it may be worth getting it checked again by a specialist.

The medical industry is evolving, and I'm glad I finally got this checked by a neurologist! I'm also getting my heart checked out too, since the pain could be because I may have a hole in my heart, so hopefully that'll get cleared up at tomorrow's appointment!

Random item of the day:
Thought that decades of intense chest/jaw pains was due to dysautonomia with no medication to help with the pain. Learned today after decades of suffering, and it turned out it was a migraine complication. Doctor had me try a nasal spray, and no more pain.

While I was out feeling under the weather, I did receive wonderful news that I have another panel I'll be attending in April! This one will be at the LVL UP EXPO in Las Vegas, Nevada. The details are as follows:
