Indoor Humidity

Episodic CH cycles are known to begin when the seasons change and often come about around the same time of year.
My cycles always start either April-ish or December-ish. I live in New England. (Go Pats)
The presumption is that changes in daylight and circadian rhythms are involved.
I've also heard it suggested that congestion might be a link and be the thing that triggers a cycle. e.g., Cold-and-flu season in December and alergy season in April.
Another wild thought is changes in humidity, especially indoor. It's just a crazy thought. I was wondering if anyone could find any supporting or counter arguments.
In the spring (depending on where you live of course), it can become very humid indoors because the heat runs less, it rains like crazy, and it's not quite warm enough to turn on the air conditioner.
In the late fall/winter (again, depending upon where you live), it can become very dry because the heat kicks on.
Could changes in environmental humidity be a factor? Any reason to believe this could be a link? Any reason to believe there probably isn't a link?

I've lived in many places around the globe. When I lived in the equator, where it was one long summer season, my cycles didn't change start or end times. I've always been a december cycler, regardless of where I was living (rocky mtns, to caribbean, to europe, to Boston, FLA, etc.). My last cycle started april 2005, and I've been shadowing today (may 2006).

Not so wild to me. Humidity has always been a trigger for me.

I have sleep apnea, I have a CPAP machine that provides a constant level of humidity. I thought that humidity was a trigger when I thought these things were sinus headaches. YMMV

it's 90%+ humidity in Florida where I live 9 months of the year.....
We are all different, what may be a trigger for one may not be for another.

Although I don't think it's related, maybe I'm just an idiot, mine started in 1992 when I moved to the AZ desert after living on the coast my entire life.
