A YouTuber reporting on Call of Duty discusses the health problems he is facing. He lives off his savings and is afraid of losing his voice completely.
Who is it about? Drift0r has been one of the most well-known content creators for Call of Duty for years. With over 1.43 million subscribers on YouTube, he regularly reached hundreds of thousands of players with his videos. He showcased gameplay, spoke out against cheaters, and published guides and trivia about the different parts of the series.
In the meantime, his channel has diversified. He also makes videos on other games like ARC Raiders and Bungie’s Marathon, reviews new gaming hardware like headsets, or shares information about his health situation. This has significantly deteriorated over the past years.
What is happening with the content creator? Drift0r has been suffering from an unidentified illness for several years. In his latest video on YouTube, he reports that he is increasingly losing his voice due to cramps and weakness in his facial and jaw muscles, and that his joints throughout his body are weakening. The joints are so weakened that even the slightest daily movements lead to sprains.
The YouTuber describes that he is constantly losing weight, even though he eats properly and exercises enough. Overall, he feels like his body is falling apart. However, despite various medical tests, there is still no clear diagnosis.
Due to elevated inflammatory markers, a strongly atypical autoimmune disease is suspected, he says, but he still has to wait five weeks for an appointment with a top specialist who may prescribe immunosuppressants.
Recently, work in his apartment due to a defective water heater uncovered a massive mold problem in his bathroom. He now speculates whether a mold exposure might have been the cause of his symptoms the whole time.
What happens to him now? The YouTuber wants to continue producing videos as much as he can. However, the content on his channel is already less because it is physically not possible for him to make more content. Since he can hardly work currently, he lives off his savings. He is also afraid that he might not be able to use his hands or speak in the future. Drift0r notes: Even if he does not die, it does not feel like living.
