Sign of Spring: Flares!
04.10.10
When most people think of spring, they think of flowers. Sometimes people think of allergies. For a chronic, it’s all about flares.
I don’t know if it’s this way for everyone, but I have to imagine I’m not alone here. With spring’s sudden shifts of weather — cold days followed by hot, humid days, then more cold — my body gets confused and flares happen. Often.
Maybe it’s because I do have season allergies too. Whatever the reason, I’ve been good and swollen for a the past couple days. Ugh.
The most recent flare seems to be coming to a close. But at it’s height, my “morning stiffness” was lasting well into the afternoon. Glad that’s over, for now.
Has anyone else had this experience? I’d love to know how you can curb the effects of weather on the body!
