I have tried the Laroche Posey and Cetaphil mineral sunscreens and both have made my eyes burn. I get the same reaction to every single makeup product I use around or on my eyes. How am I supposed to protect my face from the hot sun when my skin doesn’t even like the most natural and sensitive sunscreens. My eyes are constantly watering and burning and are so red. I look high whenever I put sunscreen on I’ve tried antihistamine eye drops and they only help for a couple of minutes before I’m back to burning and crying.

Today was/is so awful for me I could cry. It’s not fire season and I was confused as to why the air was so smoky and smelt like a bonfire. I guess they were lighting some prairies on fire because that’s healthy? I don’t freaking know, ugh. Anyhow, my eyes are on fire today. Burning as if I got a glob of sunscreen in them. Along with that I’m having awful heart palpitations and heartburn that is radiating in between my shoulder blades. The joints in my hands ached incredibly and I was having bad pain in my right arm accompanied with losing feeling in my pinky making it feel really cold. How do I escape air pollution? It’s impossible. Don’t even get me started on how achy the muscles are in my thighs. URRRGHH.

I’ve been experiencing bad abdominal pain for like the last two weeks and I can’t see a rheumatologist until the end of the month. I’m newly diagnosed and am wonder if anyone else experiences abdominal pain for long period of time? It just feels like different parts of my abdomen are like stinging. Ugh. I felt fine all day today and now I just feel like crap.

Last night, I went to the movies and bought a stupidly expensive drink. I only ended up taking about less than 10 sips from it before I felt extremelyyyy tipsy. It was almost too much to handle. I did make sure to eat beforehand but phew that was a really tough ride. It really is a hit or miss when I have a drink. I can either be fine or in the trenches.

I don’t drink often. I’d say I have 1-2 drinks every few months are so. These are the symptoms I experience when I do:

- racing heart. especially waking up in the middle of the night. doesn’t go away until the following morning

- Anxiety

- Nausea

- Tender kidneys
