Awesome news! / Fibromyalgia and Detoxing.

My etsy store is open!!! HyggeLupineCreations has been in the process of coming online for over a year!

Storytime: Last June I got diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and my main doctor at the time started me on treatments that—spoiler alert—didn’t work. In fact they made me feel worse.

Fun fact for y’all about Fibromyalgia: we fibro’s have very stubborn bodies. Our bodies can easily become full of toxins as a result. Thus making our symptoms WORSE.

So doctors put us on a detox.

I should now mention that I did soooooo much research into Fibromyalgia after my diagnosis and all I’m telling you here is what I have uncovered via said research. —aka my doctor didn’t tell me much of anything other than “We need to detox you, your symptoms should go down then.”—

So it’s horrible when I found out weeks later that detoxing does like nothing to help fibros. In fact it does the opposite.

When our bodies get thrown into a detox, we take it much harder than the average person. Meaning we feel like absolute crap during it and then afterwards . . . Well our bodies are stubborn remember? If you’ve detoxed at all during the hell you’ve just been through, then you are lucky.

I was not. I felt like I got worse than before.

Cue an endless cycle until about a month ago when I refused to take detox meds.

Now I’m starting to feel better as my body is able to relax!! On top of finally getting some sleep—more on that in another days post—.

All in all I share this to help you understand how excited I am for my shop to open . It’s been a long time coming and all this past year I’ve been looking forward to it as I’ve been slowly designing shirts and other merch to sell.

I still have bad days. Yeah. But I’m starting to have pretty good ones again and it makes me cry out of joy.

Hang in there! It won’t be like this forever. Your in between will end eventually.

‘Till next we meet
