It's bright and shiny outside with a strong breeze. If I were anyone without the PsA and other lovely diagnoses, I'd be out there enjoying the day. Maybe I could be doing some gardening or even taking a walk around the block. Unfortunately, these pleasant days will be spent inside the house near a fan or a/c unit and trying not to cry from pain.
For many years now, I've been a walking barometric pressure indicator. I can feel when there is the slightest change in pressure as my level of pain goes up a day or two before rain systems come my way. That pain can last for up to a day after the rain has left. Then the cycle begins again and again. So I am stuck here today with just my computer and other distractions at my side to help me try and forget the pain.
It doesn't help that I had to go without my anti-inflammatory meds for a little while. Something with the insurance and I have to pay a pricey sum for it. Sometimes it's not a big deal. Other times, it is just a fact of life that I have to live with. And I do because I don't really have much else that I can do about it. Still, it makes for a pretty hard day when the weather's shifting. Luckily, these times are rare and I tend to bounce back after a week of medicine back into my system. Well, I come back into a level of pain that I can ignore on a daily basis.
As I wait on the rain, I'm going to try and do some reading. Maybe even a little crocheting will be done. We'll just have to wait and see.
Until next time,
Kay
