I am working to get myself back out into the world. I have been isolating in the last few months and I was starting to look forward to going out. Until the trees bloomed.
I went to my May Day celebration on Sunday and spent the day outside- it was nice. I was social and feeling good. But I am paying for it.
Now my asthma (allergy triggered) is so bad I'm at 80% lung capacity. My ribs hurt, I'm short of breath and have no energy. I'd taken every medicine I could before going out Sunday but still the asthma got me. Hell, I drove with the truck windows open Friday and had to stay indoors Saturday to recover. This is not helping me with getting back into life. I love the outdoors.
Now the thing I love is trying to kill me (or so it seems). Now I just want to hide under the covers until the trees stop blooming and the nightmares go away.

Be extra special gentle with yourself. Healing vibes on the airwaves...

I do hope your lungs get to behaving themselves shortly. Asthma's a pain.
I want to know why humans were so well designed in mind and spirit. Then, though, those minds and spirits were installed in such shitty, second-rate, inferior, fragile, short life-span, aging, illness prone, painful and not durable physical bodies.
That's said humbly, of course, with all due respect to the Creator or evolution or Whoever/whatever was behind it. Don't want to make anybody mad. Just an observation from symptoms like yours.
I'm saying that because you wrote about how "the thing I love is trying to kill me" with these allergies.
It is not an instant cure, but it really works. The local factor is important. Honey and bee pollen are made out of the pollen the bees gather. Building an immunity to pollen gathered in Argentina won't help you much.
For what it's worth. Just thought I'd throw it out there.
