Guys…. I can jog…. I can run… and still breathe 😭😭 I… can BREATHE. 🥺😭 I have a head full of baby hairs. My color came back. I haven’t passed out in 34 days. 

But most importantly, I can freakin breathe 🥺 

How.Ev.Ver: Incredibly bizarre side effect— I’m now allergic to the red ink in my 3 year old storm trooper. Which sucks bc the majority of my sleeve plan has a ton of red. I mean, it’s Star Wars…. So much red lol. I look like I have little hemangiomas 😂 

Negative side effects: Abdominal pain and indigestion that can get pretty intense… and that’s downplaying it. Anddd being hot. I went from always freezing to pouring sweat with the air on 65. And no it’s not menopause lol. My skin will feel ice cold but it’s a struggle to not come out of my clothes at work. I literally keep a first aid cold gel pack at my desk. 

But let me say this…. And to anyone focusing on the scary or negative…… I don’t care if I sweat and my tattoo itches me to death for the rest of my LIFE…. I. CAN. BREATHE. I have quality of life again. Am I fixed? Not even close. But is my entire life different? Yes. From my appearance to my activity level to my personality. 

I couldn’t walk down the hall without taking a break. And passing out a minimum of 4-6 times a day was NORMAL for me for years. I couldn’t sweep my kitchen floor. Washing my hair was so strenuous I’d have to take breaks. Today… today I had a foot race in the rain with my 13 year old daughter - who literally started sobbing and said, “Mama. You can breathe. 😭” 

This is insane to me
