It’s August!

And I’ve been away, so apologies for the lack of posts recently.

Yes, it’s August.  A good month/bad month for me.  Good because it’s my birthday month.  Bad because it’s the month of most reactivity, and I usually end up very miserable/depressed by the end of it.

This year has been no different as far as reactivity is concerned.  However, I am only more reactive compared to the rest of this year.  Compared to previous years it hardly counts.  In fact, I’ve been worse than this in other months in those years and considered those good months.

There has been a marked decrease in how long I can be out in it before the spots start and the petechiae seem to be more plentiful.  I’m still happy though.

On a slightly negative note I’ve had wicked catarrh this month and the loratadine doesn’t seem to be touching it.  I did wonder, at one point, whether it was allergy or the first cold of the autumn/winter.  I’m sneezing more too.  But, so far, things haven’t gotten worse so I’ll go with either an allergy or a warning shot that I have taken enough anti-histamines and my body would like a rest from them now.

How are you doing so far this year?
