>>9004253Allergic reaction again.
Long story short: she doesn't actually know what's wrong with her because she hasn't gone to the doctor
She hasn't gone to the doctor because she doesn't have health insurance, which means two things:
Going to the doctor would be prohibitively expensive (tens of thousands of dollars even for trivial things)
When she DOES get health insurance, they won't cover whatever the problem is, because having it identified before the insurance kicks in qualifies it as a "pre-existing condition" which isn't covered.
So she's just been suffering from some unidentified food allergy and chugging antihistamines while she waits for her health insurance to kick in, which IIRC is supposed to happen sometime early september. For the record, antihistamines help control allergic reactions but their side-effects tend to involve extreme drowsiness. Even over the counter stuff is strong enough to make it dangerous to drive or operate machinery for a few hours after, so even treating her allergies would leave her in a state that she couldn't really stream in.
Once her health insurance is active, she can go to the doctor, get tested, know what foods she actually has to avoid and probably get some kind of prescription for better antihistamines than the over-the-counter stuff she's been using. It's probably not just an allergy to gluten, because she's said this latest outbreak wasn't connected to eating any kind of bread or food with gluten in it.
She's kind of stuck because obviously she couldn't afford health insurance before entering hololive and getting monetized--that shit is stupidly expensive and people usually rely on working for a company that provides a company plan in order to actually access it, but she can't get treated without health insurance, so everything boils down to waiting for them to work out the paperwork on their end so that her coverage is active. American healthcare in a nutshell.
