It took me awhile to figure out how I wanted to word this title. I think I finally came up with one that would cover anything. Some of the posts in Solomon's Five Annoyances thread inspired me to create this one. So, I guess i'll go first.

I think the big problem for me this year is the heat and humidity, the arthritis in my hands and seasonal allergies, which is the first time that they have bothered me in the summer as well as spring.

What are your major or minor complaints?

Ouch, I get that too. My knees also hurt when it rains.

I never really understood when people complained about the rain and how it would aggrivate old injuries. I shattered my leg in February and although it is mostly healed when it rains "mofo" is an understatement. I think I need to move to somewhere where there is less rain because right now on the West coast we get a ton of rain.

Itching, watery and burning eyes, fatigue, sore back and arms (the last three mainly when it is raining and/or overcast).

I get pretty bad migraines when it's overly hot and humid (especially if I'm going in and out of air-conditioned rooms). It's horrible.

I forgot to add that my legs are always sore in that kind of weather - sometimes I feel like I can barely walk. :(

Allergies. But then my nose runs constantly it seems anyway, regardless of the season or the weather.

In general, I hate sweating. All summer I've done nothing but sweat. Indoors and out.

I have severe arthritis in my neck. When it's rainy, very cold or humid, it gets a lot worse. The humidity also makes my hair look like crap. Does that count? :D

My husband has had a persistent cough for a while now. I was convinced he had lung cancer. He saw his doctor today, and it turns out he has allergies. He's been doing a lot of gardening lately as well as working indoors with dust. He came home with a prescription for pills and nasal spray.

YES IT DOES. lol If the humidity doesn't make my hair all stupid looking, then my sweating makes my hair wet and it curls back up. :mad: My bangs and the hair that touches my neck...can't keep it straight in the summer.

I sprained my right wrist twice (June 2001 & May 2005) so the weather changes really aggravate the wrist injuries.

I also discovered that I apparently have a bad [left] knee and it REALLY acts up in the winter... ****ing painful. :(

Any kind of gardening or lawn care will start me sneezing after 5 or 10 minutes and this is after taking my allergy pill.

and yes, bad hair days can count ;)
