Hi Kat,

Yeah, I'm impatient, too! But it helps to read about other people with the same

struggles.

I don't know why dampness makes it worse. It just does and it's certainly doing

a number on me today :-[. I can barely type because my fingers are so cold and

stiff.

> *** Hi , unfortunately I believe you're quite right. I understand

about why we get hayfever and allergies, and other symptoms, i just dont

understand why we have this increased symptoms in response to the

humidity/dampness etc.

>

> >>> I'm sure that as we progress on the diet, that this will decrease, just

like our other symptoms do.

>

> ***Yes, I guess Im impatient, but Im comitted to this program and achieving

wellness, thanks for your response.

> Is there any remedy for those that feel awful in overcast/muggy/dreary

weather? How is candida affected by weather--is it the mold in the air?

Barometric pressure is different, right? I think my migraines link to

barometric pressure, but I am wondering if today's oddly warm/overcast/dreary

weather is affecting the candida and triggering a migraine (which I may have

warded off, by the way!).

>

> We were at an amusement park over the weekend that we visit frequently, and I

noticed I hit extreme exhaustion always at the same part in the park. Then I

realized it is the part of the park that has the dank water rides and kid ponds,

and the train that goes through a dark muggy cave (that the kids like). Is it

my candida responding to the (mold?) in this case? Curious if it is related,

because once we leave that section of the park I feel better (every time!). Or

maybe it is just conincidence, who knows...

+++Hi Amy. Most candida sufferers' symptoms increase in muggy damp weather and

also from exposure to molds. All you can do is stick to the program, and ensure

you do things that help your body detoxify on those days, i.e. Epsom salt baths,

taking more niacin (B3), dry skin brushing (or another mild form of exercise),

coffee enemas, etc.

> I just wanted to acknowledge your comments, I live in Brisbane Australia, and

in the summer my symptoms always increase during this time, when its hot without

the humidity, I dont seem to have as many symtoms, but often its very humid

here, and it always makes me feel very fatigued, and lethargic, I feel it

impacts on my digestion as well, its as if my body is too tired to digest my

food also - I hate it, hopefully once my immune system is stronger this symptom

will pass. Bee do you know why the weather affects candida symptoms so much?

+++Hi Kat. During damp muggy weather molds are sporing freely, so there's more

in the air.

Hi all

My husband and I are trying to celebrate our 10th anniversary, but when it's 33%

humidity in Las Vegas and running between 103-110 degrees it's hard to enjoy

anything! Our joints are really hurting, and we have central air plus fans. When

I visit my daughter in Seattle, I don't have the same pain, maybe because the

temperature doesn't get real high. We've had a few drops of rain, but nothing to

write home about. This is the worst summer I can remember in awhile. Plus our

highest power bill ever. Just had to vent, hope evryone else is staying cool,

and not in massive amounts of pain. I really believe the weather affects our

joints. Well, I'm packing for an overnite stay at a hotel/casino and can use

their power to stay cool.

Have a good weekend everyone

I had a friend visit yesterday who flew into Las Vegas and went on a

motorcycle trip from there ending up here... He said it was miserable down that

way.. I am sorry.. I hate hot weather myself.. Luckily Salt Lake has not had

it too bad this year?? We had a very wet June and July has been

tolerable..

We also have the advantage of the mountains.. My wife and I go up there

during the early morning hours and it is generally around 50 degrees up there

at that time..

Early mornings are the only time I can venture out because the day ways

heavy on me later in the day..

Summer does not last much longer here, but I hope things become more

tolerably soon for those who live in less hospitable climates.

Hi all

Will be going out in a few minutes to take advantage of the 90 degree weather

before it turns into the 100's later on. I try to just go out once or twice a

week, because of the pain and the weather. Our anniversary wasn't the

celebration I wanted-my husbands' shoulder got twisted when he picked something

up-don't know if he pinched a nerve, but that and the weather and the fact that

he's about 80 pounds overweight and has a heel spur-well, guess we'll have to

wait and do it up big next year. I worry more about his health than mine, at

least at the end of the day when I start to wind down and my pain kicks in from

just doing a couple errands, I can take my round of pills and get some relief.

He's still working a full time job and trying to take care of me. I'm grateful I

have him, but am full of remorse that he has to suffer more by helping me out.

Then we through in all the other stresses like finances, and helping out my

daughter get her life together,

and nothing I see in the media says the economy is getting better. On that

note, I guess I'd better get myself together and begin my long day. Thanks for

the anniversary wishes-we've had our ups and downs, but we're in it

for eternity.

Take care and stay cool! 

Jeannie

Hi all

Well, the forecast is for another week of this terrible weather. I've lived here

for a total of about 25 years and don't remember a summer like this. We had our

first  " brown-out " today for about 2 minutes, then got to run around and re-set

all the clocks and TV's. My husband is really suffering, I wish he would try

harder to lose weight, he knows he'd feel better if he did, but until he's ready

to do it, he'll keep suffering. I am so afraid he'll get diabetes, or worse.

When he comes in from work, I see the pain etched in his face, there's no smile

that he's home, just misery from the pain. But he babies me, wants to take me to

the hospital when I'm really suffering, tells me to sit down and he'll do the

housework. I won't let him. I have the chance to rest and take more meds. when

the pain gets to be too much-he works full time. I don't know where his pride in

his appearance went, he was heavy when we married, but he's put on about 70

pounds in the 12

years since we met. He won't have gastric-bypass, and he doesn't have the

willpower to count calories and do  portion control. The VA put him in their

program, he lost 30 pounds and then it came back when their program was done

with. I've tried everything I can to be subtle in my hinting about weight loss,

he'll start getting upset. I give up. I want the weather to change so he won't

hurt so badly. My daughter who lives near Seattle is miserable, it's in the 90's

there, and it seems that only the people who are fairly well-off financially

have AC, everyone else uses fans, but this is very hot for them. When I was

married to her father, we were stationed up there, and even on-base we only had

fans. Is it cool anywhere in the U.S. this time of year? The mountains are about

an hour away, but it seems half the city is up there seeking relief, so it's not

worth the trouble traffic wise.

Thanks for letting me rant and rave-I'm going to try to get some sleep, and

dream about October when it's cooler here!

Take care

 

Jeannie

>Ouch. I've had those temps before too. It's hard to breathe in that:

be careful!

When Henry was young and his asthma was still bad, I used to make these

face protectors that I buttoned into the hoods of his coats. Just take a

piece of flannel from old PJ's and cut a rectangle wide enough to reach

from one side of the hood to the other and long enough so it goes from

just beneath the eyes to tucking in by his chest. Finish off the edges

with a straight seam (Or pinking shears when I was in a hurry) and cut

slits up near the top on each side. Find 2 spare buttons and sew them

into the inside of the hood of the coat - make the buttons and holes

large enough so a little kid's fingers can do the job without having to

ask the teacher for help. Easier than a scarf and much harder to lose!

My kid wore those in his coats until he was in his early teens and

stopped only because his friends started making fun of him, but boy, he

really missed it when he was in college taking night classes and had to

wait outside almost an hour some nights for his train to come!

Just want to wish my friends in Chicago all the best during this terrible storm.

Please be well and be safe. I was there for the storm of 1967. It took my Mom

and me over 6 hours to shovel from the back door to the garage. My Dad never

made it home for 4 days.....the car had be snowed in. Thankfully, several of

his customers within walking distance to the store took him in. At the time,,

he was taking 2 prednisone tablets, 4 times a day. I only remember that when he

did make it home that Sunday he was pretty crabby and had made the remark that

he was going home that day if he had to walk! We lived over 10 miles from the

store...didn't understand the meaning of those words, but I sure do now!

Sometimes waiting for these storms are the worst part of the whole thing. I do

remember telling my Mom during our shoveling session is that there must be

someplace else to live without snow! What does a kid realize about the map!

I think I will give Ron (my husband) and extra kiss for moving us down to so FL!

Ii wish that I could send my cabana boys to help with the shoveling, but they

have no winter outfits!! These snowstorms are very similiar to huricanes with

the preparations and worries if the roofs will hold, etc.

Alice, I will keep you in my prayers tonight.

good luck and hope all turns out not too bad.

Ron and I had thought that when he retired, we might move back north. Now I see

why God placed us here and I think here we shall stay (atleast until the next

hurricane !)

Gentle, tender, wintery angel hugs............

I just wanted to thank everyone for their prayers and support. When I get an

answer, I will post it.
