Spring is kicking my @$$!!!!!
7 years ago
X____x
Sorry for lack of art. Long story short, I'm allergic to Texas because it is constantly spring here. To add on to my Allergy issues I also have reactive asthma, and eczema. Initially when I still lived in Nevada I thought eczema was just a skin issue since I only ever had symptoms in spring and fall. Since I've moved to Texas it has become another beast entirely. Now I understand that eczema is an autoimmune disorder that gives me an overactive immune system, which causes issues like inflammation under the skin (Making me feel like I almost have a combination of tendonitis/arthritis when I have a flare-up just because of the pressure.), and of course the stereo-typical rashes, and some other personal symptoms.
It just feels a little like a catch-22, because allergies > stress > flare-up > stress > flare-up so now I've started a regimen of 3 different allergy medications, and 2 topical creams to get my eczema (and asthma) under control. I was kind of letting my symptoms go out of control because I got used to them as a normal part of life, until my bones and tendons started to hurt and I didn't want to move. =...= So I found out the condition of my skin, coughing all the time, and constantly having raccoon eyes isn't normal, lol. (Yes I'm terrible, and don't like going to the doctor unless I think it is something serious)
I still don't feel well though (allergies are making me feel nausea and extreme fatigue because it has been a bit windy lately, stirring everything up, but meds should kick in fully after another week or two.)
To top it off I had gotten neglectful about taking my Vitamin D's, which for the record, can cause microfractures if you're being a dumb dumb like me! :D Don't be like Tae! (I have a severe Vitamin D deficiency when I'm not taking my vitamin everyday, dunno why, a lot of the women in my family are the same way. =w= )
TLDR
Tae wasn't taking proper care of herself like a good artist should, but should be feeling better in the near future.
