However, something else also happened a couple days ago: The winter solstice. Although I am not one to believe in astrology or 'signs', I definitely know my body responds strongly to the moon phases and the time of year. I have realized for years that I have a lot more pain when it is closer to a full moon, and when it's going to rain. I can 'feel it in my bones'.... and my muscles and joints......
I also normally feel really bad and tired in the winter. With the change in weather, less sunlight... I don't know. I am exhausted and the chemicals in my brain are totally different. I don't have the desire or drive to do much of anything. In the spring, I go crazy. I have these spells where I have a million ideas ( and start them all, but never finish) and I have the mental and physical energy to do stuff.
So for what it's worth, I am improving rapidly since my post a couple days ago on the Dec. 21.
