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.

Acupuncture Day!
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.
Mother Nature Laughs
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.
No Energy
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.
Stuck
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.
Resting
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.
At the Dentist
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.
At the Doctor
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.
Ten Again
Today was Day 19 of the Fall pollen season. The pollen count was 10 again. Yesterday was 11.1, and the day before was 10.5. I’ve been trying to get things done, but can’t do much. Sweeping a small part of the floor made me dizzy. I’m uncoordinated and almost fall over when I get up. My sinuses hurt so bad I can’t stand it.
The only good thing about today was that the heat wave appears to be going away. So, there’s that.

This Pollen Count Goes to 11
This pollen count goes up to 11…. and then goes higher and ends up at 11.1. Today was Day 18 of the 2017 Fall pollen season. It is the most painful day so far.
