missdianeI've had to go back to putting the KT Loop on my shoulder so I can sleep on that side. The arthritis has been flaring in both knees, one enough that I needed to tape it for stability (which people asked if I was hurt at work since I wore a dress that day and you could see the strips below my knee...I'm always hurt. bleh)
I've had what is likely sinusitis for a good week. If I cough, the side of my head and behind my eye has a hit of pain. Sometimes it's a steady headache. I've been doing the neti pot for that which is sort of helping some. Even though I run air cleaners because the heat in my apartment clearly kicks out all kinds of dust, I get a cough and last night it woke me up. I also now get a headache when I bend over to give the kitties food and stuff. Lovely.
And the day before yesterday, sciatica started in and last night I couldn't get comfortable so aside from the usual OTC pain pills, I put an ice pack on so I could get a bit of sleep. I'm not able to walk well so this morning I tossed in the towel and took a rare sick day off. I hadn't taken one in a couple of months.
It doesn't help with the weather ping-ponging. I like Autumn but boy this has been rough.

Heat pump had its regular maintenance and new filter, air ducts vacuumed. Cat keeps sneezing too, although the vet says it isn't anything to worry about.
