Water in sinuses as trigger? (Read 993 times)

GatorScott CH.com Newbie Offline Go Gators! Posts: 19 Orlando, FL Gender:	Water in sinuses as trigger? Jul 29^th, 2009 at 1:23pm Hi all. Was horsing around in a pool last week with my family and got a shot of water up my nose. That precipitated a kip 7 attack, but it was instantaneously a 7, rather than the more traditional gradual build-up that I usually experience. Has this happened with anyone else? Thanks, Scott.

No, I don't think so. I can't remember the last time I was horsing around and someone shot water up my nose.

I wouldn't be at all surprised at that type of effect. I was in remission for about 5 years. I choked on half a vitamin, ended up vomiting rather forcefully (much of it came out of the nostrils), and a few days later, I went into cycle (had never had a cycle in the spring, so that was unusual). I think scouring the sinuses with strong acid is not a good thing to do - probably irritates the trigeminal nerve a bit.

The outer boundary of what we currently believe is feasible is far short of what we actually must do.

Obviously kidding - I own several firearms and enjoy discharging them from time to time. I am just too old for horseplay at the pool - I did get hit in the eye by an kid with a supersoaker in 1994 ... pissed me off, but no effect on clusters.
