Anti-biotics: Not here.

I looked around for triggers but I never found one. Like Jonny, beer didn't seem to matter. I do know that that's not the norm. MSG is one thing I know of that is considered a trigger.

More to come on this I'm sure.

Biggest trigger? Sleep.

The only other actual true trigger I can pinpoint is tack-glue for tile and linoleum and astroturf. When I did carpetlaying, everytime I got around that stuff I went into an attack. Needless to say, I stopped going on glue-down jobs. Boss had no problem with it.

Peace,

Now that you mention it Carl_D,

I rebuilt a 1963 Harley davidson sportster a few years ago. Whenever I was around paint strippers the KIP ratio would increase. My first 10! was after stripping the peanut tank!! I will never forget that night!!!!

Carl D triggers on tack glue and Turts on paint stripper. Mine are the perfume sections in major department stores and the detergent aisle in grocery stores and those stinky-assed places that sell scented candles and incenses. And alcohol.

BobG you are on the money! I had an ex who would chatise me for staying away from the detergent aisle in the grocery store. And if any one came around me coated in cologne watch out! But that doesn't happen any more. It seems like when the demons figured out that I figured out what triggered them they decided to just be arbitrary and attack at whim! [smiley=huh.gif]

Nights when it's sweltering hot and the humidity is high. Even when I'm not in cycle, nights like that make me feel "clustery." [smiley=huh.gif]

The only other things are the perfume departments of malls, and seasonal changes.

Oh yeah. Once my sis in law was cleaning her kitchen, and she sprayed the table I was sitting at down with Windex with Ammonia. Within seconds, the eye started turning, and she saw it too.
Walked away and it faded without developing. I walked back into the kitchen like, "Uhhhh... did the ammonia almost trigger an attack?" She thought it was odd too.
When I lived in MI and was going to MHNI, in the new visitors packet i got in the mail before my appt., they ask people to NOT wear perfume or cologne to the office, as it acted as a trigger for some.

Oh yeah, and a room FULL of burning insense smoke. My reasoning is that it might be these chemicals listed above rob the blood stream of o2, and that is what triggers it.

booze is a # 1 triger and when I'm in cycle sweet odors set me off, also mildew, and cooking smoke. These have been a constant. But staying away from them does not stop them. from there usual times. They like to visit anyway.

I get wicked bronchitis every summer and have taken all types of antibiotics for it, zythromax, ciprox, etc. and none have affected my CHs. Preventatives are what has helped me and I thank God for verapamil.
