I used to be a girl with all the pretty scented lotions and amazing scented candles until my life took this kooky turn. My chemical sensitivity began to develop along with leaky gut as I started taking huge amounts of anti-inflammatory drugs for the sinus pain.
I do believe that as I progress through my healing journey, I will heal from this and maybe even be able to step foot in a store without getting sick. For now, I try to think of myself as a caterpillar resting in my little cocoon for a season. Some days, though, I just cry about it.
