I have noted professionally that more clients seem to have<br />1. emotional breakdowns.<br />2.bladder infections.<br />3. increased depression or mania <br />around the Vernal or autumnal equinox.

He says that when our immune systems are overstimulated by allergens, apparently those of us with AI diseases often start flaring. I'm not sure about right now, though--maybe it's the weather changing back and forth and confusing our bodies (at least here in New England, it's been bitter cold and then just chilly and is about to get really cold again).

I thought that I just over extended myself. <br />I have "flair" for my flares- a soft kitty bracelet that I wear to let the family know to beware, courteous and that I'm to not be held responsible. For anything! <br />I did read a great article on anger and autoimmune disease. Just as there are the 7 stages of grief upon the death, we actually repeat this process with each stage of the disease. <br />So, this is me accepting that I am indeed in a flare. <br />Hi, my name is Amy and I am flaring. <br />Now someone cut this bracelet off of me and give me 2 SCOOPS- STAT!

The funk starts and then I suddenly realize that I am in a flare as well. I know it's always around the time that we are getting the least amount of ourdoor/sunshine time in PA. I wonder if that, indirectly, has something to do with everyone's flares right now? The fact that our country isn't getting as sunshine this time of year combined with the cold in most of the country.Blogger Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05222887642439201203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-8707789379606064812013-03-06T05:42:06.771-08:002013-03-06T05:42:06.771-08:00I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better. ...I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better. I haven't really had a flare, although I have aches and pains, dry eyes and dry mouth all the time. I occasionally have vasculitis show up in my legs but I haven't had any spots in months (the fall I think). I guess I am very fortunate.suenoreply@blogger.com
