I was not looking forward to winter. Summer, winter, the extremes seem to be unkind to me most of all. The adjustment seasons are also rough at times too, though. Not to seem like I enjoy nothing at all though, hah.

It is 66 degrees in Buffalo, NY in mid-December. This is sort of absurd. It also has my symptoms in irritable mode, or that is my read. The move from cold to warm last week was hard, but I have noticed extra sensitivity where I typically have numbness. My daughter kicked my foot last night on accident and I felt like I was in a Looney Toon with a throbbing foot and soundtrack.

I have cricket buzzing in my limbs and the tiredness of having played a full 90 minute soccer match after minimal effort.

I am grateful that all of this is less than my worst for the year, but it is elevated.

Is anyone else feeling heightened symptoms in this band of warmth or altered weather? I know this thread has been around before, even from yours truly. I am just curious... again...

Thanks.

Jon

I'm in NY. I was doing ok with this weather, but yesterday I woke up with the type of pain that I thought was a thing of the past. Last night was hard with sharp pain shooting down my ear into my shoulder. I had pulsing pain zapping throughout my body and felt like my feet could explode. I had to take meds and they barely touched it. Although this description of my pain would send most people to the emergency room, my general condition has improved, so I am not going to be negative about it. Today is ok, but far from great. Hoping this is a another flare on the way to healing as I have had enough of those and never have fully relapsed to my condition of last year.
I thought maybe my flare was weather related but I checked the barometric pressure and surprisingly it was steady.

Its so hard not to know what exactly it is that not only caused the nerve damage all over me, but to not know what triggers it adds insult to injury (literally).

I did run our new gas fire place with all the windows open Saturday and yesterday to burn off the horrendous chemical smell, so I'm thinking the toxins might have stirred things up. Maybe. Or the weather. Or that I tried to have a few sips of wine. Or that I ate some sugar. Or that this just really sucks. Probably that.

I put in 3/4 of a days work and left early. There was a downpour on the way home. I'm pulling the ottoman up and seeing what paperwork I can get done after addressing Christmas cards.

Windy and worse today. Perhaps it is just and ebb and flow period, a cigar being a cigar. My glucose levels are no better or worse and there is no "warble" to explain a spike in pain and discomfort.

As my main man KV was want to say, so it goes.

so when I see pictures of Buffalo usually buried to the cartops, I cringe and say "How do they stand that"? Where I am if we get the lawn covered with snow it is a big deal. Plus it only happens every two or three yars apart. Congrats on the Bills, they did pretty good. Merry Christmas, Ken in Texas.

I went to games for 29 years. After to Chicago game last year the fracker said he was buying the team I turned in my fan card. I've watched two games since, both with my Grandpa who has dementia, both wins. The game looks so violent now.

I can't support destroying our water supply, though I will cop to being pretty sad at first.

I still watch hockey(having had turned in my Sabres fan card years prior when the fracker bought that team- I came up with a T shirt idea for a beverage to be sold at games " Pegula's proprietary punch: our poison is your pleasure" but I try to limit my disdain.

It is after all my choice to be so ardent in my stance. But I do believe it is that level of long term blight. My entertainment vs natural resources of water and arable land... not a choice at all. A pity I am in a miniscule minority.

So. it. goes.

Rant off.

And last year Ken, we were buried from mid November through April.

I relate to this also from your main man KV:
"Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly; Man got to sit and wonder, 'Why, why, why?'

I hope this made you smile.
