Good Morning Clusterheads!
Recently, I've come across a strange phenomenon which may, just may, have a little somethoing to do with our CH's.
Ever heard about the "Sick Building Syndrome"? This is when a building, usually a new building or a remodeled one, starts to make everyone sick who works or lives in it. The primary cause is from the gases given off by all the plastic and phenolics that are in use by manufacturers today. The secondary cause is from the "canned air" in most modern buildings. The air in most buildings is recirculated through the building with very little fresh air involved. This holds the gases in the building.
Anyway, the point being is that I have discovered that by opening my windows at home, regardless of the weather conditions, I no longer have the - go to sleep, wake up in 90 minutes with pain - syndrome. I've been able to sleep 6 to 8 hours everyday without waking in pain!
I've also worked out a way to get fresh air into the office at work, and guess what? No attacks at work!
Now, I havn't eliminated the CH's totally, but in the past three weeks by doing this, I've cut them down from 3 and 4 a day to one or two.
Just a suggestion, but maybe extra O2 by doing this?
Pain free to all!
