I have been in crazy shape lately. My medications that have the delightful side-effect of making me sleep weren't doing that Thursday night. By 5:00 Friday morning, I realized I hadn't nodded off at all. When I got up to turn off the alarm clock, my skin -- from my calves to my insteps -- felt extraordinarily tight. I hadn't stood up for a good eight hours: my ankles were twice their usual size, and my insteps were even higher than usual! Even after keeping them elevated for 4 hours, I couldn't see any progress, so, after taking the bus up the hill, buying groceries, and carefully walking back, I went to bed. By Saturday morning, everything was back to normal.
>Whew!<


Speaking of Saturday, what's the best reason/excuse to eat a pint-and-a-half of Trader Joe's frozen coconut ice "cream" each day? Answer: fits of incessant sneezing. By Saturday night, my nostrils were bleeding, so I put the last of my no-chemicals Aloe Vera gel on a cotton swab, and eased it up a nostril to that spot where everything hurts. Of course, I had to hold that one shut for a couple of minutes, until the stinging stopped (it has citric acid as the preservative, its only other ingredient). And, of course, sleeping on my back. On Sunday, I remembered about the nerve that runs from the back of the mouth past the nose, on its way to the brain. Sure enough, the frozen dessert numbed that nerve, and, for a few minutes I had sneeze-less peace. Then, it started all over again. Gotta find a new brand of Aloe gel, as the first kind has added a lot of unpronounceable things to their new "recipe". Monday was the same, but Tuesday, I had stopped with the sneezing: yay!


I have no idea what else I ate those days. I'm just glad that free breathing is restored.

Wow. I've had a few nights like that, and the next day is pretty much a write-off. Or nights when I'm so exhausted from being around people that I fall asleep at the computer, and wake up six hours later with swimming pools around my ankles. I'm glad you can breathe again!

LOL....red wine gives me sneezing fits. All day!!! It is so exhausting! I took me years to figure it out :( My better half thought I was allergic to Saturdays as it usually happened then. But quiet often we would share a bootle of red on a friday evening. Not had a single sneeze fit in over 2 years now :). Why don't you buy an aleo vera plant and chop a leave of as and when you need it?
