Absolutely feral over this fluffy Heartstopper Christmas fic!

With hypopara, curiosity about worsening symptoms is crucial Columnist Heather Novak has learned not to chalk all her symptoms up to hypoparathyroidism. Her recent pain is a reminder of that.

I’ve been complaining about hot flashes overnight for years and more recently, consistent hip pain.

Doctors tried different diets and meds… finally someone said, “check your mattress.”

Absolutely freaking wild.

I miss the days when I used to have to subscribe to marketing emails with a double opt in, instead of being automatically subscribed when I even glance at a website one time. 😐

(I’m aware I sound 100 years old)

This fic is very special to me. 🩷

Graphic for Hypoparathyroidism News column. The lifesaving advice my 40-year-old self would give my teenage self Lessons for navigating life with hypoparathyroidism By Heather Novak Picture of Heather around 11, with short light brown hair, and a pink and black polkadot dress.

Graphic with column banner and excerpt. Column banner: precious, not fragile. Heather Novak. On left, a woman with purple hair is lying on her back, head propped in books, and is reading. A tea cup is next to her. On right a skeleton with purple hair, sitting with knees up, is holding a coffee cup and reading. Center is column title over solid purple bubble. Excerpt: My therapist asked me what 40-year-old Heather would tell teenage Heather to guide and support her. This is what I came up with. Anyone who belittles our rare disease, our health, or our safety does not need to be in our life. It’s OK to love someone and walk away, to miss someone and not reach out. Honor who we are and the right people will find us. As our dear friend says, “There is enough, so ask for more.”

Does my column today have a line from Lavender Fields, written by my favorite Heartstopper fanfic author and dear friend ScienceIsRealYo??

Yes. Yes it does.

📖 A little liquid courage

Haha right?? Loved it.
Imagine the stories the kids will tell their parents 🤣

Agree to all these points!!

Nick was somehow both confident and a disaster which I adored. And Darcy was such a well done character in this fic.

Summary: 17-year-old Nick Nelson is having a bit of a crisis of self. However, that all changes when he wakes up on what should be the first day of Year 13 in the body of his 25-year-old self - now he has a different crisis to contend with.

Because why is he sleeping next to Charlie Spring?

Happy Saturday #Heartsky! This author dropped their first Heartstopper fanfic and it has me kicking my feet and giggling! I had the BEST time reading it.

Can’t recommend it enough for those who love fluff! 🍂💙💛

Graphic for Hypoparathyroidism News column. A book signing reminded me of my hypopara strength I don't have to choose between being an author and an advocate. By Heather Novak Photo: Heather (a white woman in her 40s with purple hair, glasses, and a cherry red blazer with zippers) stands in front of her signing table. The table has sequined purple table cloth, sliver glitter book stands, and a large banner with a couple almost kissing.

Graphic with column banner and excerpt. Column banner: precious, not fragile. Heather Novak. On left, a woman with purple hair is lying on her back, head propped in books, and is reading. A tea cup is next to her. On right a skeleton with purple hair, sitting with knees up, is holding a coffee cup and reading. Center is column title over solid purple bubble. Excerpt: I’ve spent years fighting for the hypopara community, being a voice for those who weren’t able to speak out. Turns out, my book community was always there, waiting for me to come back and holding a space for me. I felt like I had to choose between the two communities for so long, but what I needed was to acknowledge that my hypopara journey doesn’t detract from my worth as an author; it strengthens it. The signing was magical and I still happy-cry thinking about it.

2 weeks ago, I was absolutely blown away by Ban This Book Fest Detroit! After years of focusing on my Hypopara advocacy work as we fought for a treatment, the book community welcomed me back with open arms and said “we missed you, welcome home!”
