Dear sinuses,
Knock it off, or I will slaughter you.
Quit it. Seriously.
No love,
Jo

I already know all of this, but this is for the benefits of people on my friends list who might not know. While I love Benadryl and Claritin, I don't want to rely on them constantly, and I know people for whom they just don't work.

Most of this was drilled into me by Mom during my childhood. She still calls to ask if I'm taking Co-Q10 and Omega-3 (I am). Lately I am favoring the large doses of Vitamin C (4 grams or more) and probiotics, along with omega-3. CoQ10 is still expensive.

Triphala, Trikatu, and Neem, of course, are excellent. As is Xlear, which is the natural answer to OTC nasal sprays (Oh Em Gee, I love it so).

I plan on getting a small (affordable) allergy arsenal at Whole Foods, plus extra pet wipes for the cats. It's starting, and it's already getting brutal.
I wish I could remember the best foods to eat to cut down on allergy-driven inflammation. All I can think of is high doses of Vitamin C, and locally harvested honey, and spirulina. I'll be taking some more of the boss' Pollinosan shortly.

I love spring. I do. But nobody loves pollen.

Total Fatigue Day.
Perennial allergies -- severe -- for the past few days. Inflammation all over, especially knees, ankles, and neck. Spasticity. Tension. Lowered seizure threshold. Freezing hands and feet.
I am giving myself permission to complain.
Dear body, get better or else.

I've been doing some research on cerebral palsy's effects overall, how it leads to other disorders and problems down the road. Things my doctors never explained. I am learning about it all through talking with other members of the cerebral_palsy community.

This post made me realize many things. And made me understand just what I need to do to work with myself.
I remember physical therapy as a child. That's it. Not sitting down with various doctors to discuss what might happen in my adult years with other medical problems; certainly not epilepsy or inflammatory disorders or allergies or fatigue problems or breathing problems or hypersensitivity or anxiety. Then again, everyone was too busy concentrating on the therapy. I understand.

I'm not exhausted enough to want to sleep, not energized enough to even climb stairs.

Lunch break in less than an hour. I'll see how I feel after food. No refined sugars. My body asks for chicken and mushrooms and citrus fruit, maybe a banana. My boss should have his miraculous homeopathic allergy anti-inflammatory tincture in the office if I still feel like hell.
