Default Is it the time of year?

I haven't posted much about us in a while. I always have symptoms that I ignore as much as I can.

About 2 weeks ago my daughter's right arm started to hurt again. It is always the right arm when it starts. This tight pulling. I understand her pain, because my arms will do the same thing and it will bring me to tears.

She had been taking zanaflex for it, without much sucess.
Yesterday she wakes up and can barely walk. Her left leg hurts to walk or straighten it out. I watched her hobble around for a few hours and finally decided to take her to the PCP.
He decided it was tendonitis. Gave her a anti-inflammatory and said to use her lidoderm patches. Neither of which are helping.

I would have tried her Rheumy but they would tell me they could see her in 2 months. She has an appointment in July. Lot of good that does now.

I was telling my son about DD's leg last night. He began to tell me about how bad the heat had made him flare yesterday. How bad his memory and concentration are right now.

2 weeks ago, my vision started doing screwy again. Tingling and numbness were worse than normal. Ear's ringing like crazy.
Tonight I got this funny feeling in my throat. Couldn't figure it out until the pulling sensation started.(flashback to before) The pulling in my throat has ended up in my Jaw. I have not had jaw pain in a long time now. But suddenly tonight, here it is.

Makes me wonder what is going on that suddenly everyone's symptoms are flaring. It cannot be the heat with DD and I. DD has barely been outside lately. Me? I go outside constantly. They are freezing me to death with the AC. I wear a coat around the house all day long. According to the thermostat the kids are correct and the AC needs to be on. If it were up to me, it would be off.
