Journal Entry for May 3, 2008 Mood
Saturday, May 3, 2008

Today seems to be better, or maybe I'm just learning how to manage it better??? At any rate, I slept good last night!!!! I had no symptoms, not even a cough!!! I bought this pillow ( certified allergy/asthma friendly) when I bought it I was thinking what could be the difference? I don't know but it has the allergen free encasing to prevent dustmites and I had the best sleep in months!!! I woke up thinking to myself"so this is what a good nights sleep feels like" Still having to go outside with a mask but pf's are good and mild to no symptoms!!!! I do OK as long as I stay inside, but who wants to do that on a beautifu lwarm spring day??? not me!! I'm going to get a mattress encasing and a air purifier in the next few weeks.

I'm going to clean up the house ( with a mask) and wash clothes. This will take the rest of the day and maybe part of tomorrow. A chance of rain I hope will mean a reduction in allergens!!?? I keep thinking it'll get better. In the winter I thoughtthat in the spring it'd be better. I was finally over my winter time sick and then came spring time aggrevation , high or very high tree pollen moderate grass pollen the need to wear a mask for just everyday things. I would say summer will be better but now I'm thinking the humidity will be a huge factor since it's one of thirteen allergy/asthma triggers, of course at this point I'd settle for anything better than having to stay inside on a nice spring day because if I go out I can't breathe. My doctor has already told me that this winter will be just like the one that just passed when I was sick the entire time!!! I really hope he's wrong???

    YOur doctor is telling you that you will be ill? Is that encouragement or what? LOL. Gosh! I hear you writing about wearing a mask...I think I'm going to have to do that too. I am thinking you are starting to sound healthier and happier. This is good. Good idea about the pillow. Nothing is better than a full night's sleep!
