Dear fall: I hate you.

Between the weird humidity, air pressure changes, and my allergies, my body is REALLY trying to kill me. I’ve been on a whole-body flare for a few days now. I haven’t taken any pain meds today because I’m dealing with an unrelated stomach thing.

Right now the pain list includes my neck, my hips, my feet, both hands, most of my fingers, my sinuses…I think that’s it. That’s more than enough.

Going back both here and facebook shows me that this time of year is always a bit rough for me. It’s interesting to compare the different ways I coped with or mitigated the pain. This year I’m down to only one of my meds to help with pain and some antihistamines to help keep my allergies in check since they are the triggers for many flares. I haven’t been running in a while but it’s frequent enough that I can actually still run on the rare occasion I try.

Honestly I think I’ve just learned to ignore it. It’s no wonder I’m tired all the time.
