The Perils of Cold Weather

Every time it gets to be cold weather here in the valley and we have to turn on our electric heat, my
sinuses rebel like a drunk teenager on prom night...  there are some kind of canal connecting the sinus to the ears and the electric heat, for some reason, causes them to clog up and I loose 10-15% of my hearing and I feel like I need to go to the clinic and get my ears cleaned out.

Yes...  we have a humidifier and no...  it does not help...  and, she's a big beauty of a humidifier holding about a gallon of water that is filled up twice a day...  once in the morning and again in the evening around sunset...  give or take.

My body, like my father's body, has a tendency to sweat at night, so it is difficult for me to say if cancer or the cancer treatments, or just my body is causing it to sweat.  Sometimes, the sweating is heavy sometimes it is not, but it is sufficient for me to need to take a shower each morning.  Cold weather makes it more noticeable especially since I have to get up about 2-3 times at night an pee.

Getting out of the bed sweaty is an interesting experience if you don't mind shivering and getting back into the bed with cold wet sheets is another one...  so, I have learned to put on a bathrobe before returning to bed and because of that extra layer encourages me to sweat even more.

Besides, our bedroom seems to be the coldest place in the house which is great in the humid days of summer but not to good when it is cold...  still, it gets the blood flowing.
