A Great Day of Climbing
I had a wonderful day of climbing today with my friend Shannon. She has been learning to lead climb and I've been mentoring her when I can. She is so sure of herself and has a great "lead head."
I felt really good all day, despite the fact that I woke up this morning with a 2nd day of swollen eyes, itchy face and itchy mouth. The oral allergy syndrome continues after eating carrots and tofu. I do think it's the carrots, but just in case I will avoid both for now. I took some OTC allergy pills last night, which did NOT help at all. This morning I went back to the Chinese herb called Pe Min Kan Wan and it worked wonders. The eyes are almost back down to normal with very little swelling and the itching is very minor.
My digestion has been good the last 3 days now that I'm back on the IBS diet. I am very thankful! The joint pain is not a problem today, although I do feel a lot of muscle pain at the end of the day after climbing. It used to be that I'd get just a little delayed onset muscle soreness after about 48 hours, but these days I get muscle and joint pain right away (guess that's the Fibro talking!).
Overall it was what I'd call an EXCELLENT day!!
