Southern Summer Sun
+
(very strong sunscreen)
+
(tent for shade at the pool or beach)
+
(a fabulously large hat...oh and I'll take the body too)
Hopefully doesn't =
Yea, I don't want to do this again! Now that's taking "farmer's tan" to a new level!
The burn was from taking a walk in the morning when it was cloudy/drizzly out... only walking for just over an hour... but no sunscreen. Duh.
ReplyDeletehey Jan! i absolutely love your blog, its so nice to know i'm not the only one on my search for an answer, like they say misery loves company. lol. i do have a bit of a personal question, do you by chance notice your symptoms changing during "your time of the month?" mine seem to trigger a few days of semi normalness, along with a round of different symptoms? also, i found that hats and umbrellas that contain spf in them are very helpful in the sun! (:

Hi Natalie,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you have found company in me and my blog. To answer your question, yes I do have a flair-up of symptoms around my period...although it is quite irregular. I typically gain around 5 pounds of water weight - 4 of which I swear is only in my ankles - have "digestive issues", and will often get a porph patterning of my skin (not a rash). I attribute it to the flux and flow of hormones, which of course are normal but also can create porph problems. :)
Hope this helps!
