Pokémon GO had a Halloween event that started on October 26, 2016, and lasted through November 1, 2016. My husband and I celebrated Halloween by playing Pokémon GO. It wasn’t until then that we realized we had been seeing some of the “spooky” Pokémon in the past few days, (before we learned that the event was taking place.)
Season 7 was the first time I had the opportunity to try out the Champion part of the Season Journey. I gave it my best try, but was unable to complete it.
Even so, this was the farthest I’ve gotten through the Season Journey. I wish I could have done better – but I’m not disappointed in what I accomplished.
This post is an update about my health and my most recent visit to my rheumatologist. Nothing bad happened.
Here’s what got done:
Rheumatologist at first thought I only had fibromyalgia. Not sure why.
So, today, the pollen count finally calmed down and my allergies were not as horrifically bad as they have been for weeks. So, I had a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks. I had one during the weeks I was sick, but too sick to realize that the PSL was actually making me sicker.
Barely drank half the PSL and got all the symptoms I get that indicate that I’ve been glutened. After doing a bunch of research online – it turns out that the sauce in the PSL from Starbucks contains gluten.
This year, I decided to document my struggle through the fall pollen season in the form of haiku. If you’re going to complain about your health – you might as well do it in a creative way.
I also wanted to share how bad my allergies were due to the fall pollen season and give people a glimpse into what it is like to be me. This year’s fall pollen season started August 9, 2016, and it continued through September 30, 2016. That’s a total of 53 days of being sick, in a row, with no end in sight.
