It is a true epidemic, which attacks specifically during this season and from which we are very little saved.
Do not waste your time! That word is not in the dictionary. You will not find it. Because although everyone suffers from it at a certain time of year and each identifies it with a different ailment, in reality it is only a seasonal epidemic.
Christmasitis is a disease that strikes at the end of November and disappears at the beginning of January (although for some it lasts until the end of that month). And it is not a simple ailment, but a whirlwind of suffering that rages on the Easter days.
So far no vaccine has been invented against this condition, therefore, no one is immunized and everyone gets it. Of course, there are some remedies that can help you cope with this tremendous accumulation of ailments, such as insomnia, depression, stomach disorders, muscle aches.
Insomnia from the "lists"
The list of cards, gifts, invitations, decorations, meals, becomes a true obsession, which increases at night, while we count sheep, trying to fall asleep and for now, we remember that we have to add something that we forgot in one of the "lists". For this reason, in order not to make mistakes in the number of sheep (and avoid a "list" of lost sheep, because the one that is born for ... the lists fall from the sky "), early at night, when the tasks of the day are finished, sit down and make a list of the things you have to do the next day.
Then keep that relationship, remember the matter no more and sleep peacefully in the arms of Morpheus. If Morpheus does not solve the problem of insomnia, do not complain to him, perhaps it is because he has accidentally taken a drink that contains alcohol or caffeine. Alcoholic beverages can alter your mood, because while they relax and lull you, they make your sleep more irregular.
To prevent this from happening, when you drink alcoholic beverages, do not lie down until 4 hours later. For its part, the stimulating effect of a cup of coffee can last up to 5 hours, which is a long wait to fall asleep Checkmate depression.
These holidays are a joyous opportunity to share with family and friends. However, for some people they constitute a burden, becoming true clinical cases, including optimists who can become pessimistic, in the month of December, if they hope, with shouts, sighs and unbridled hopes, to get a boyfriend or win. the lottery.

If your depression exceeds the limits of December, ask for help.
The stomach protests.
As he "gave him wings" to eat whatever he wanted (nougats, cookies, chocolates, liqueurs, etc.), now he has to pay for the broken dishes. In these cases, those skilled in the art advise, walking, this exercise helps with digestion, moving food in your stomach, or taking an antacid that makes you feel better.

The ay, ay, ay! of muscles. "In December the same thing always happens to me! We will say frequently, but it is logical, because in December, the same thing always happens: paint the house, move the furniture, wash the curtains, etc., etc ... and becomes an eight, raging from muscle aches. This happens, sometimes, because due to effort the muscles become inflamed, in these cases it is recommended to apply an ice pack to the painful area. But if the discomfort persists for more than a week, don't even try, see your doctor as soon as possible.
Voice of thunder.
Why? Most likely, you have talked too much during these days, or that the cold night air, being near the beach, or all things together, have affected your vocal cords. Then try gargling with salt water (1 teaspoon of salt in 8 oz of room temperature water), and drink as much liquid as you can, but be careful with alcohol.

On the contrary, if you are a cautious woman who always wears low shoes, but on Christmas Eve, or the last of the year you want to wear very high ones, train for a week, starting the first day for an hour and increasing the time each day.
This way you will not have problems, your feet will have adapted to the shoes, or the shoes to your feet begin right now to prepare for this holiday season, using your imagination as Scberezade in the Arabian Nights, and make all the possible "lists , but ... with time !, so that you do not get the "Christmas disease" and do not have to convalesce afterwards.
After Christmas Eve and New Years Eve, the symptoms intensify so it is better to be safe than sorry. Greetings ... Merry Christmas.
