Efi's Brainy and Gutsy Journey

Efi's Brainy and Gutsy Journey

Introducing Efi (@fibro_what), an exceptional German Illustrator who calls Spain home. Over time, Efi has navigated various chronic conditions – asthma, fibromyalgia, atopic dermatitis, food sensitivities, and more. 

Efi captures her daily struggles through her artistic expressions, using illustrations to shed light on her experiences, raise awareness, and find empowerment amid the challenges.

Her creative process also becomes a source of strength, allowing her to embrace and adapt to life with chronic conditions. While seeking insights and solutions, she recognized the significance of comprehending her body's functions, including the intricacies of pain perception.

In essence, Efi embarked on a journey of understanding her chronic pain conditions and how therapy empowered her to take charge of her well-being. Along this path, she uncovered the link between her chronic issues, brain function, and gut health.

She ingeniously weaves fibromyalgia into her comics as a character, using Brain and Gut plushies to represent the partnership between these elements.
