Mosquito blitzkrieg

The definition of the word 'blitzkrieg' according to Wikipedia is "a headline word applied retrospectively to describe a military doctrine of an all-mechanized force concentrating on its attack on a small section of the enemy front then, once the latter is pierced, proceeding without regard to its flank."
Honestly, it's like the mosquitoes are the 'all mechanized force' and I'm the small section of the enemy front that they're concentrating on and once I'm pierced, they proceed without regard.
My right arm is so bitten by these five mosquitoes that it's numb from the scratching.
And not to mention the ongoing rheumatism on both my ankles (particularly my right ankle since it's been sprained before), my left wrist, my right elbow and my right shoulder. The pain is intense.. so intense that I can't sleep well. It's not as if I'm not keeping it warm, I'm keeping it very warm but it ain't helping much.
It's never this bad, lately though, it has gotten worse. I think I need to start exercising bad.

So I'm awake at 6:07 AM and I'm reading about fairy paths.
It has always intrigued me and now that I have time, I thought I should read up about it.
Ironically enough, it mentions that a fairy path in England is said to cure rheumatism.. I need to find this path.
It sucks when you suddenly read a scientific explanation to the mushroom fairy rings.. I like to imagine beautiful bright fairies dancing in rings under a moonlight and then some fungi website explains why the mushrooms grow in circles. Damn.
