Why? Well, let me take you back 20 years, when I was a wee lass. In the warm summer months (in my tropical island), I would get pus-filled wounds. Yes, puss-filled wounds. Sounds gross, looks gross and it was a pain in the butt. As far as I can recall, I got that 2 summers in a row.<\/p>\n<p>\nThen, I recall not being able to enjoy shrimp. No shrimp scampi for me, no shrimp fried rice, no fried shrimp, no boiled shrimp, no salt and pepper shrimp. And at a very young age, I actually liked the taste of shrimp, but I couldn&#039;t eat it due to allergies.<\/p>\n<p>\nFast forward a few years, now living in the desert.  During the summer, I&#039;d get itchy rashes on my legs and arms. Our doctor was unable to determine why I got these. They just seem to come when it&#039;s really warm (again) and dry.<\/p>\n<p>\nToday, I&#039;m suffering from sinusitis. I&#039;m guessing it&#039;s not acute sinusitis as even when I&#039;m not ill, I get some of the symptoms albeit not as &#8220;strong&#8221; but it lingers and you know any minute it can flare up. It seems to get worse as I get ill, or get a cold (obviously). The medicine(s) I&#039;m taking (took) seem to just provide temporarily relief. I&#039;m actually taking naps now. I haven&#039;t been able to take a nap during the day since kindergarten. I just can&#039;t sleep when there&#039;s light out, and now, to ease the pain of my sinus attacks, sleep is the only way to succumb to it. I hope all this resting actually works. I actually slept to &#8220;Soul Train&#8221; on the telly! LMAO. At least I can laugh about myself.<\/p>\n<p>\nSo there you have it, I am cursed. Oh, did I mention I get hives when I drink vodka? >.<\n\n<p>\nCheers,<\/p>\n<p>\nR.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I get it; I&#039;m cursed. Why?
