Did I mention the emotional roller coaster is insane too?? I also have epilepsy. That was pretty active prior to this change, Severely. So, we're in about week 3-4, and since I began this transformation, no matter how painful, I have literally, nearly stopped having seizures. After having them daily, fighting life support, hospitalizations, and the list goes on. I also have tons of energy now, regardless of the fatigue and pain. It's really weird. We both push through it (God only knows how...), and drink lots of teas and try to stay as hydrated as much as possible, to help the emotional mess. Regardless, I know that it will all get better. I have an extensively long medical history, and this change, has literally saved my life.... In so many ways that I should probably write a book. Both my fiance and I, really. Can't wait to learn some more!! Take care my "crunchy friends". Haha, that was my very first time referring to that word. Peace, Love, and Enlightenment!!

After reading all of the comments, I think I see what is wrong with my fiance and I. I knew I had read up on a possible sore throat when switching to a homemade toothpaste, but this is insane!! Lol We haven't went 100% vegan as of yet, but I have done lots of research on becoming more of a green person. In turn, getting rid of pretty much anything that wasn't a necessity or any plastics (bpa's, and any other numbers, gmo's, aluminum, EVERYTHING!! Any aluminum tops for glass wear, mason jars, etc. As many plastics as possible. Pretty much all of them. Lol) We are even starting our own completely organic garden indoors, and I'm in the experimenting process of making homemade bath, body, and cleaning products. We're even in the process of making a from scratch compost. Ever since we started brushing our teeth with the homemade toothpaste, (which is coconut oil, baking soda, sea salt, and water.) My fiance began noticing his really sore throat, lymph nodes are severely swollen, and sometimes the panic attacks are so bad, and anxiety stays so high, body aches are insane, and night sweats are SSSOOOO GROSS!! (My fiance sweats off and on all of the time, it'll hit him out of nowhere, and he'll just feel absolutely sick, sluggish, and just completely horrible. Although, I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but his living habits and eating habbits were so much worse than mine. He also sometimes cheats still, and will get gummy candies or we'll both cheat with an occasional ice cream or Annie's organic cheese crackers or grahm cookies. Nothing major. Also have gotten rid of most gluten. We don't even eat pasta at all. Bread is still a very small factor, but for the most part I use tons of alternative flours. Mostly coconut flour. It's honestly just so delicious, and cheap! So I make all of our coconut products from scratch. We use coconut, for EVERYTHING now!! Even when I make my teas. I use coconut water. Coconut water, coconut milk, coconut oil, coconut butter, etc., and we both use medicinal Marijuana, A LOT. We use hemp wicks, hemp papers, hemp cigar wraps, and glass wear. If we use a screen it's glass too. Literally changing our entire way of living. We're having tons of anxiety, and panic attacks. We have also gotten rid of all chemicals and chemical containing products. Just huge changes, and it's taking huge tolls. The thing that started it all, when I sat down and watched a movie by the name of What the Health. I'll never eat meat ever again. It's sincerely sad what the people in this world do, and allow to happen for the more simpler way of living. Lazy ways of thinking. I let go of all social media, everything. All of the b.s. anyway. It's insane. Sincerely. Don't get me wrong, we're nowhere near saints, but we have just gotten our awakening. Now to complete the journey. Good luck everyone with the beautiful change of oneself!! That's why it's called growing pain. This growing mess hurts!! Lol
