We've been cold here again. What makes it worse is the high humidity. Our normal Winter is cold & dry. This wetness is making the cold seem so much worse. It's hard to stay warm, when you feel wet.
It brings about a host of issues for me. 1st, I hate being cold. Then there is the near constant nasal drip & scratchy throat. My skin is still very dry this time of year & that means using lots of lotion. My hands look like a cracked, river bed. The weather isn't easy on the breathing either.
I think the worst of it for me, are the chillblains. I started getting them while we still lived at the trailer. I've gotten them every Winter since. That was about the same time I developed gout. It could be my weight, the HIV, the weather, my age, all the above or something else entirely.
The chillblains come & go throughout the season. It isn't just that you get your hands or feet too cold during a time of high humidity. Instead, it's that you got them warm too quickly. The abrupt change causes the chillblains. Mine can be a bit tender & cause swelling. At least, mine don't itch. That would be hell.
So, no, I am not a fan of cold weather. Never have been. I just hope it does it's job & kills off the bugs. And think, we're technically just now into the Winter season. Yippie!
Cya...
