I am glad this week is ending - it has not been an easy one for my lungs. Yesterday I got very winded and was exhausted all day. I went to bed early which I never do. Today I woke up with a tight feeling wrapped around my chest - like a metal band that was 2" too short.
The air quality here has been orange a lot and I try to stay indoors but that feels claustrophobic after a while. And it makes it difficult to garden which is one of the best parts of my day. Hot, high particles, humid, hot. Living in Baltimore/DC is a struggle!
One thing this has brought on for me is a creeping return of the sarcoid fears. I have been on prednisone for 6 weeks, decreasing doses, and I do not want to have a flare up so soon! Of course, it is all about what I want, right?! But it is a bit scary to not know if what I am physically experiencing is just air-related or the start of a flare up.
I think I need to do some research on places to live where the air is still good - a wishful thinking list.
