Title: CH vs. latitude question?
Post by Rolomatic on Nov 3^rd, 2008 at 2:06pm

Just thinking out loud and wondering if anyone has seen any statistics of the percent of the population affected by CH categorized by latitude they reside in concerning the hours per day of solar light exposure?

My CH affliction is always 33% more aggravating in spring and fall including the nighttime boogie man who cometh to wake me from my beauty sleep.

Hmm, Panama with mosquitoes just might be worse? And I’m from Minnesota!

Rolo.. :)

I read somewhere that the closer to the equator you live, the less chance you have of ever getting CH's....

Time to buy a house down south me thinks.....

I'm still a little on the fence on this one but location or relocation may have some effect.
I live 2276 km south of the equator; I went over to Melbourne in April two year ago & had the clearest week CH wise I'd had in years,no shadowing no hint of CH at all, pure bliss for a week but still packing me dacks that fellin so good could also mean I may not be feelin so good very soon, Melbourne is 4200 km south of the equator & 3337 km south east of where I live.

Could it be that changes in latitude creates changes in attitude.

Thats my 2 bobs worth for what its worth.

Cheers
