Talking about the seasons changing and what that means.
A lot of people feel different when the season changes.
I don't know if you guys are experiencing that now, but so many people do,
where they may get a little bit more depression or feel a sadness,
or feel a little bit more tired, a little bit more sluggish,
maybe a little bit more depersonalization, maybe feeling kind of lonelier,
maybe a sense of feeling lost. And it can happen when the seasons are changing and we're heading
into that place now. I want to read a couple of things. And this includes SAD, seasonal affective
disorder. And you don't have to have it being named or labeled seasonal affective disorder.
It could be just a sensation, a feeling, but you don't have that diagnosis. The diagnosis itself
It's really just a misunderstanding because they don't know why someone's feeling the way they do when they try to blame it on the seasons.
But really, it's more than that.
But as the seasons change, something else happens in our lives.
The weather changes.
Responsibilities change for a lot of people.
Also, old emotions come in from years past when something's happened during a seasonal change.
So all these things play a role.
So what is SAD really?
many people experience 10 years of SAD symptoms, whether in winter, summer, or any other time of
the year. And that's interesting because that whole SAD thing, I really didn't buy because
going all the way back, because SFC always told me that it happened in the summer, it happened in
the spring, it happened in the fall, happened in the winter for everybody. It's just different
times for different people. So it's not just about going into the winter only where there's less
sunlight and all of that. And it doesn't help that there's less sunlight. So that's the other
thing to think about. Of course, that's not the end all be all. So, um, someone can progress
from that arthritic feeling I mentioned, like severe aches and joint pain leading to another
confusing diagnosis like RA for that person. It was never SAD. So that's another thing. Someone
could start out with an SAD diagnosis in their life, right? And then it progresses and it gets
worse. And then all of a sudden now it's rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis, but then the person scratches
their head and they're like, well, you originally gave me a seasonal affective disorder diagnosis,
a sad diagnosis, but it was kind of those symptoms, but the symptoms got worse. So now it's a
rheumatoid arthritis condition, what is it? Was it SAD or was it RA? And that's another thing that
happens to people all the time, right? And so if someone's getting more joint pain or they don't
feel good, they're getting more fatigue, they're getting severe aches and pains, and now it's not
SAD anymore, it's something else. Now it's a form of RA, which if you read the medical medium or
thyroid healing or any of the medical medium books, you know that Epstein-Barr causes RA.
So what was really happening? They were diagnosed with SAD, but really it was just a very mild
Epstein-Barr going on in their body. And as it worsened and worsened, they lost the SAD diagnosis
out the window, that label, and now they landed themselves, of course, labeled like RA, right?
So were the seasons really playing a role in agitating somebody's RA, their rheumatoid arthritis, or any kind of condition?
So if you think about it this way, you're someone that maybe it's a thyroid condition that worsened after you had an SAD diagnosis.
Maybe you didn't even have a seasonal affective disorder diagnosis, but you had something going on, and the doctor didn't diagnose it that, but it could have been diagnosed that from another doctor.
You know, can labels get switched around from different doctors in different places?
That happens too, right?
Winter is hard on the body.
Everybody knows that.
It's harder on the body, right?
I've got friends that live in Alaska, and it's harder on them, you know?
And then when they're in Hawaii, it's easier on them.
That does happen where winters are harder on the body, but they just are.
Most any condition tends to feel worse with winter in general.
So if someone has any kind of condition, you may feel a little bit worse.
You might have more pronounced symptoms when the winter comes.
That can happen with a lot of people.
So another example of a condition, misdiagnosis, SAD, right, is sinusitis, things like that.
So chronic sinus issues, chronic sinusitis, a lot of times that gets misdiagnosed because
chronic sinusitis tends to worsen in the fall.
A lot of people have it, first of all, in the spring because of allergies, right?
That's what it gets blamed on is pollen and everything.
So the chronic sinusitis gets worse.
There's an underlying issue to the chronic sinusitis because it's not technically the
pollen that's doing it.
That's just a trigger.
But that means somebody's immune system is struggling because they have an underneath
issue, like underneath it all, they'll have a streptococcus issue in the sinus cavities.
And then when pollen comes along, it gets worse. And then in the fall, when it gets cold out,
say if someone lives in a cold region of the world and the fall comes, now they're indoors.
And then the heat, so then you have the dry heat and the dry air also triggering the sinuses.
You're indoors all the time because it's winter or in the fall and then the winter.
so you're indoors all the time and so when you're indoors all the time that's another thing that can
irritate dust and everything so it's all these triggers but you still have this underneath
problem and underneath it all right you have the chronic streptococcus and so it could get
triggered though so as the seasons change there's all these other things that change too you're not
outside as much anymore so now here it comes you're inside indoors you got the dust you're
indoors, she got the dry air. And then a lot of people end up catching the flu or some flu related,
you know, bug going around or whatever it is, a COVID or flu and they catch it.
And now they got that. And then that compiles onto their already streptococcus in their sinuses.
And so it compiles onto that and then worsens that. So now their allergies are like out of
control. And I've seen a lot of people get allergies, right? Meaning they have sensitivities
with their sinuses, they're called allergies, and then they catch a flu. And then they're three days
in the flu and their nose is running and their post-nasal trips happening and they're coughing.
And then they tell everybody around them, it's just my allergies. It's just my allergies. Meanwhile,
they're sitting there with the flu. And then it gets to the point where they're coughing and
They're coughing. A week later, they're coughing out their lung. Mucus is coming up. Their nose is
running. They're trying to take all kinds of different, you know, like, like cold medicines.
And they're telling their friends like, it's just, my allergies are really bad. No, you caught the
flu. You caught the flu 10 days ago. You caught the flu a week ago. And so, but either way,
when that happens, that could also be blamed on SAD. There's a doctor that'll be like somewhere
around or some kind of physician that'd be like, well, you know, you get sensitive with the seasons
and you're worse when the seasons change. I think it's a form of SAD. So that happens all the time,
right? So back to this again. So a lot of people have like a depositive strep in their system,
or they'll have an Epstein-Barr in their system. So they have aches and pains and a little bit of
fatigue because they always run chronic low-grade viral infection like Epstein-Barr. So they're
already not feeling so good. So when the seasons change, that can kind of, they can feel that. So
you're going into fall and winter. Winter's harder on the body. Sometimes it makes the aches and
pains feel a little bit more stiffer, a little bit more problematic. Yes, they're not getting
the sun they need. That's one thing that can kind of add to it immune system wise. But either way,
we have these changing seasons and things get kind of misdiagnosed left and right.
and people don't really know what's wrong with them.
They don't understand what it really is.
So anyway, this concludes this round right here for the newsletter.
I can't wait to keep on going.
I'll see you guys next week and see you soon.
