Guest guest Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 What about elevation sickness (on land)? I have really bad reactions to changing elevation, not so much to airplanes, but to changing geograph elevation, which I think many pwc experience and is also related to ICH. I know one brilliant person who travels the country and he says that he is "smartest" here in San Diego. He believes it has to do with the low elevation (sea level) and a more consistent barometric pressure. I find that applying ice to the back of my neck works much better than applying heat. Also, eating popsicles/ice and putting your feet or wrists in cold water can somehow change the pressure in my head. penny a Carnes <pj7@...> wrote: , I am so sorry - what a horror story, and I can't help but WONDER what role reduced vitamin D played in the onset of cancer. THAT IS HORRIBLE. What was your lowest 1,25 D level? I am not worse on a plane, nor do I seem to be worse at 10,000 feet which is the highest mountain outside of Las Vegas. Are you still taking doxycycline or minocycline? You should stop those completely and see if your head pressure improves. Also, try applying heat to your head - it is worth trying. Dr. Blaney is in Vancouver, BC and is excellent. I don't know where in Canada you are traveling though. Do you have a good doctor? Sounds like you don't. If you email me off list I might be able to hunt down a good one. Also I will post here in a minute a place you can email to find a neurologist who WILL investigate your head pressure. a Carnes Las Vegas, NV Hi,Have been with you ever since you left Trevor and before. I did all the things, off all Vita D, bought dark glasses the whole bit and than I got non-hodgkins lymphoma. It is not bad yet but who knows but all my symptoms are the same thing that you all talk about. The head pressure, have been to see 5 or 6 Neuros and none of them will do a spinal tap for the constant head pressure. Am on constant antibiotics in order to survive the headaches. Have taken the test for Lyme and the Lyme Dr. said that it showed that I had been exposed to Lyme, what an answer.Now I am taking high dose IVC hoping it will help but so for nothing. Am planning a trip to Canada and flying tears my head up, the additional pressure and I do all the things that anyone had ever heard of. Know the plane is pressurized but it still isn't the same pressure as on the ground. Does flying bother anyone?Just wanted to chime in. H.
