symptoms of toxins leaving the body - #14710
I am kinda worried and confused about what I’ve been feeling lately. Last week, I started a new detox diet because a friend said it would help me feel more energized and stuff. But ever since I started, I've been experiencing a bunch of weird symptoms of toxins leaving the body, or at least I think that's what it is. Like, I’ve got these crazy headaches that come and go, and I feel nauseous sometimes, but then I'll be totally fine. The other day, I had this weird skin rash pop up on my arm, and I Googled it. That's when I saw that people mention symptoms of toxins leaving the body can include rashes—ugh! My energy levels also feel all over the place; one moment I'm peppy, and the next I just wanna nap. A couple of friends told me this is totally normal, that my body is just detoxing or whatever, but I’m not sure. Are there really supposed to be this many symptoms of toxins leaving the body? I mean, is it supposed to feel this overwhelming? I thought detoxing was supposed to be good for me. How will I know if I'm just healing or if somethings actually wrong? Help!
