I don’t care how much everyone else loves summer, I’m rejoicing in the rain today.
The light’s better for photos, it’s not so hot, and the evil pollen might just stay on the ground or somewhere - anywhere but in my lungs.
Thank you so much to all the people who left kind comments on my previous post. I am still sleeping sitting up - but at least I’m sleeping! And there’s really no other symptoms. This is how I’m pretty sure it’s asthma/allergy and not an infection - there’s no chest pain or tightness, no fever, no sore throat or headache. Just a case of waiting for the rain.

Oh, I’m so glad you’re feeling better! Did you try the coffee routine? Coffee has several components in it that help open up the lungs. (caffeine is one.) I am often stoked up on coffee when I feel this way, (I have asthma too) and it does help with the breathing. Your scarf, by the way, is stunning. A very good way of passing time while feeling yucky. So sorry to hear you had to feel this way in the first place, friend!

Sounds like it’s hayfever to me. I suffer from the same thing and I have to sleep sitting up too… Hope it rains some more for you babe.

I went for a walk round a National Trust property in the rain on Saturday - with my Mum! We walked around thinking “This is so British”!!
Glad the rain’s helping you feel better anyway!
