I have been on a quest to lose weight and try to get healthy since January. I haven't been on here much, I admit. I was in the hospital over New Years with possible meningitis. They still don't know for sure if it was meningitis or just severe migraines. At any rate, I had a high white cell count ...

Chlorine causing headaches

Have had a sinus problem lately and every time I take my daughter to her swim practice I come back with a feeling of sinus swelling/drainage and then get another migraine. I don't know what I am going to do as I can't make my kids give up yet one more thing because I am sick all the time. I have to be able to go to the pool. If you get any further info on this I'd appreciate it.
Thank you for sharing.

I'm very migraine-sensitive to chlorine... which stinks, 'cause I love to swim, and our apartment complex has a nice pool, and I've put on weight also, and would love to take it off in a manner that wasn't harsh to my poor joints and elbow tissue problem... But, swimming in a chlorinated pool's out for me.
Ya know, Disney uses another method (Ozone, I think) to purify their water. So, there are other options out there... I'm currently trying to find places near me that also use ozone or other non-chlorine based system myself...
Good luck!
