I just read an article on CNN this morning that hit home to me.  CNN had an article on how your body uses the blood flow to protect your organs in high heat so your gut feels the lack of blood flow (very much a summary of the article).

It has been extremely warm here the last few weeks.  The last two days were so hot and humid.  My guts are in bad shape and I am nauseous all the time for the last 3 weeks.  Correlation???  I don't know because so many things are impacting me lately (stress, depression, wrong foods, lack of food, heat, humidity, allergies) and I can feel this lousy in the middle of a snow storm too.  I just thought it was interesting timing.

habs, nothing surprises me with cd anymore. when I went off rem. my nose, on my left nostril had sore that would not go away, inside of nostril. bloody sore, I started immuran and after 6 weeks, it dried up and went away, I also got jock itch real bad that was on same side of crotch that the nose thing was, as my nose dried up, so did jock itch. I had jock thing for 25 yr's when I went on rem. it went away, I didn't correlate the two until now, the rem. took it away (jock itch). then when I got in that accident, every thing came back in one big huge flare. I was off rem. (built up anti's) and in remission when I got in that accident. but now finally, weaning off pred, down to 10mg. down to 1 pain med daily.

That's interesting...I do know I flare every summer..hardly seems like that many times could be coincidence...

Well obviously I don't do so well in the heat either with my surgery coming up. But, the other thing
that flares for me in the summer, is joint pain from Lupus. Summer is a sheer misery.

Happy days!!! LOL

My guts always act up in the summer. I've never been sure if it was the ending to a school semester and start of a new one or the heat. It's so beautiful in the summer! I wish we could all catch a break...
