I too feel frustrated by all this CH. It tries to dictate my activities.BUT I refuse to allow it. I was so afraid to go on the boat fishing.I took extreme precaution and medication prior. I have been stuck in my house for over a month and this last weekend I finally felt well enough to venture out with the aid of my husband. For god sake I was afraid the fireworks may send me into an attack. Smells play large role in my prior onset CH and I have a heightened sense of smell now. In fact I can smell as well as a my dogs I swear but usually the smells are offensive. Has anyone else noticed this? Mouthwash,perfumes,hairspray,deodorants,soaps ect are all like posiions. My chiropractor used a balm for massage and it nearly killed me. I do not work now. I am leave from my job and don't have a clue as to when I can return. Tahnks to all who let me know I am not alone in feeling irrited and sensitive to the lack of control CH has played in my life?
P.S Can anyone tell me are the two people who posted distress messages on the site prior to the weekend ok? I thought about them constantly.
