Hi Folks
Seem there a lot of new names here since I got here in the summer of 98 .
Like everybody else who is a sufferer , the minute our pains are gone , we tend to visit this site less and less . More like trying to forget about the whole thing , and get back to our busy lives .
Ok enough chit chat , here is what I have noticed over the past few months , after my CH stopped I had colds a few times and subsequently my nose was all blocked up .
The minute it would block up I would feel a CH coming , it was strange . I guess the sinuses are blocked and thus is creates pressure against some of the nerves .
Thank God I can drink beer again .
On the subject of alcohol , a dietician I was talking to, mentioned that low alcohol content drinks ( eg Beer , wine etc ) contain sulfites/ates etc to prevent forming of bacteria . And apparently that also contributes to our CH .
Any truth in that ?? Or is it mostly BS ??
Just wanted to take a moment and say hello to all those I have met ( and haven't met ) on this list .
Best to all and hang in there . I feel guilty about this , but I am in a pain free period now . But it will pass and there is a light at the end of the tunnel .
Once more , **pat on back ** to Deej
