Today was Day 29 of the 2017 Fall pollen season. I’m moving slower than usual because my body is having trouble coping with the amount of pollen that’s been in the air for about a month now.
I make plans, and sort of meander toward them, not sure if I’ll reach that goal or have to put it off for another day. Slowly working on it, like a sky that’s trying to rain.
Today was Day 28 of the 2017 Fall pollen season. This was another day where I had difficulty waking up. The cumulative effect of nearly a month straight of pollen that is too high for my body to cope with is depleting all my energy.
Despite this, I went outside again. Shawn and I had tickets to see Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan in the theater. Fathom Events and Paramount Pictures put it back in theaters to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the movie. I wasn’t going to let the pollen count make me miss out on this!
Today was Day 27 of the 2017 Fall pollen season. Yesterday, my acupuncturist recommended I start using a “dietary supplement” that is new to me. It is called Curaphen, and I started taking it today. So far, so good.
Today was Day 26 of the 2017 Fall pollen season. The best part of today was that I was able to get acupuncture. It isn’t a cure for my allergies, or other auto-immune illnesses. But, it does help me feel better for a while.
Today was Day 25 of the 2017 Fall pollen season. Mother Nature is laughing at me. It’s been more humid here than usual and I’ve had bad sinus pain all day long.
Today was Day 24 of the 2017 Fall pollen season. I feel completely drained of energy. Sleeping in for later than I have been in the past week or so, and being able to avoid going outside, did not result in making me feel better. This is not a surprise, given how many days of Fall pollen season I have suffered through.
Today was Day 23 of the 2017 Fall pollen season. I am feeling very “stuck”. There is nothing I can do to feel better until the pollen count goes down to 6 or lower (and stays there for at least a week straight). I’m trying to move ahead and improve my health, but am being dragged backwards by forces beyond my control.
Today was Day 22 of the 2017 Fall pollen season. All I want to do is sleep, but I got up and finished some writing work anyway. This is not my cat. I found the photo on Pixabay and felt it was a good image to use to explain how exhausted I am right now. Pollen has a cumulative effect (at least, it does for me). So, the longer pollen season goes – the worse I feel.
Today was Day 21 of the 2017 Fall pollen season. That means I’ve been sick for three weeks straight due to the excessive amount of pollen in the air. There is no way to know when a pollen season will end. Today, I had to go outside because I had a dentist appointment. The pollen count today was 8.9, which isn’t good for me.
Today was Day 20 of the 2017 Fall pollen season. The pollen count wasn’t at 10 – but it was close enough! I had no choice but to go outside today because I had a doctor’s appointment. This appointment didn’t have anything to do with allergies.
