At 40, I’ve had chronic illnesses like fibromyalgia and OCD for half my life, so I’m used to experiencing a lot of strange mental and physical symptoms. However, a few years ago, these symptoms multiplied.
I was experiencing things I’d never experienced before – crying randomly in the happiest places, an extreme fear of everything (when usually my confidence bordered on arrogance), a prickly numb sensation in my thighs, extreme body skin dryness and irritation, the list goes on.
