My morning started at 2am.
I have been experiencing terrible sinus dryness
caused by my Sjogren's.
I can not breathe, but yet I can breathe.
My chest feels like it is solid metal.
My sinuses feel like they are made of hardened steel.
My eyes are dry and can't focus.
My mouth is so dry I can not swallow.
My ears are ringing loud.
I begin to panic.
I stand on my two feet and rock back and forth,
from one foot to another.
All while telling myself to breathe and
to count my breaths.
I take tiny drinks of water waiting until I can swallow.
I take another Pilocarpine Pill,
Squirt nasal spray into my nostrils,
eye drops into my hurting dry eyes.
I wait.
Rocking back and forth, from one foot to another.
It gets a little better.
Sjogren's sucks.

I need a sunny day with warm temperatures.
Doesn't everybody?
