Re: Re: Current sleep problems = recent solar flares?

Hi,

That X-flare is now arriving today.

Here is a good pair of tiny images to watch daily:

And when there is a storm, load this one to see the 3-day graphs:

The shock wave 3 days ago is now scrolled off the page, but today's

event is now showing.

If you want to lean more, this is a good link watching sunspots and

coronal holes.

Alstrup, There are two shock waves: the magnetic effects are detected

near the speed of light, and the physical particles can arrive in as

little as a day in the extreme case, or 2 to 3 days on average. It

depends on how energetic the eruption is, and how fast the solar wind

blows, which actually is dependent on the first condition, is it a M or

X class flare eruption or a coronal hole...etc.

As we have been in the solar minimum these past few years, of the 11

year solar cycle, the upcoming few years should be hard on us, as this

is probably the first time ever that so many people are sensitive to, or

on the brink of being sensitive because the background levels of EMR are

at a level never seen before. The accumulative effect may be

significant. Time will tell.

Hi, ,

 

I was experiencing fibromyalgia--aching all over--due to the recent solar

activity, I believe (only on the days solar activity was up).  I have not had

fibro symptoms for 9 years, at least, but a neighbor with fibro, and me, had

horrible symptoms on the days you mention here.  I know I have increased

problems during years with increased solar flares, but I had not put 2+ 2

together with fibromyalgia and solar flares until this post you wrote. 

 

I suspect another problem I have with solar flares is absense seizures.  When

the seizures strike, I just freeze wherever I am and whatever I am doing for 10

or 15 seconds.  I began having these again, after about a decade without them,

last spring.  I was talking to my husband, reaching for the coffee pot, and

froze and he was there to notice it; otherwise, I personally am not aware

anything has happened.  I resume my activities and speech just as tho nothing

has happened. 

 

Do any of you experience these absence seizures too?  I was thinking of

mentioning this to a medical researcher if I could see a long term connection,

but it would be more convincing for a researcher to look into if it were more

than just me seeing the connection!    Actually, I think a researcher would

be interested in what is happening with your family during solar activity,

too.  There are med students everywhere looking for new angles to research. 

This one has to be rife with potential! 

 

Let me know how it goes with you and your family over the next few years in

this matter; .  And thanks much for the solar websites.  Snoshoe had

sent them to me in the past but I have not been able to be online much in the

recent past to look solar activity times up.  I have been keeping a diary of

my health problems, tho, since the past few years I have been quite good,

health-wise, despite MCS, ES, CD, etc, etc.... (as opposed to where I was in

the 1990s--almost totally bedbound the entire decade.)  It is easy to track and

see right away when I am reacting to solar activity now that my health has been

more stable.

 

My best to you and your family,

Diane
