A friend of mine has apparently lost the use of his legs due to his transformation. His legs have been gong through very painful spams for a while but now they seem to be mostly stuck together, and covered with scales.

I worry about him, so I was wondering if someone had gone through something similar and what solutions they may have found for it.

You have my thanks.

[Spoilers: it's him, he's the 'friend' who's turning into a Naga. His legs are doing the shift from les to. Well. Serpent Tail, and he's not pleased with it.]

yeah, turnskin. why?

[exterreo]

And how do the changes you're going through make you feel? Are you okay with them?

[clickclickbang]

they're happening and we can't make them stop so does it matter?

[exterreo]

Of course it matters, we can't just pretend it isn't happening. These are our bodies, still are, it's hard to just accept any changes as they come with a shrug and a smile. At least it's hard to do that, for me.

[clickclickbang]

didn't say i was, but the changes aren't gonna stop just because they freak me out. might as well be positive about it.

[exterreo]

I wish I could share that attitude. It would certainly make the changes less frustrating.

But all I can think of with every change, all my friend can think of with every painful spasm is that he didn't ask for this in any way.

yeah but

i mean

kinda how life works

being pissed about it just makes it worse imo

[exterreo]

Or it makes you work harder to try to better your situation, or simply make sure you don't find yourself in that situation again.

I see where you're coming from, young man but I don't think 'contentment' is going to help the situation any either.

[clickclickbang]

that really only works if it's something you can change

we can't change this and fighting it doesn't go well

[exterreo]

We don't know for sure, only what we've been told. And even if it is true so far, that doesn't mean we can just give up and take it.

At least I know for sure I'm not going to.
