I started noticing something was up the week before the Super Bowl.

Earlier this year, Erin Mathuson started to feel like her body was falling apart.

So I just figured I had maybe food poisoning.

And normally what happens is, you know, your stomach hurts a little bit, you have a bowel

That didn't happen this time.

Instead, the pain lingered.

And then it started to do the strangest thing.

It started to move to other parts of her body.

And I remember feeling in my arms, like my forearms, just this kind of like burning sensation.

Like, when you've worked out really hard and you have that kind of like feel the burn

pain, except I hadn't done anything to earn that.

Like, I had picked up like a spoon or something and I was like, why am I burning?

This is so weird.

So Erin calls a doctor who tells her she probably has a cold.

So she takes some ibuprofen and tries to get through the work week.

And into the week, I go to get my lashes done.

And normally that's like a really relaxing, lovely experience.

I lay down, I listen to a podcast and I fall asleep for an hour.

I remember I had to pull in my knees to my stomach and that kind of helped relieve whenever
