I just read a post about chlorine and migraines.....

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 in my spinal tap. They suspected a light case of meningitis. I have never had such pain in my life. I never want to again. I've lost about 40 pounds and still fighting to lose more. I've been walking and exercising. I have joined the YMCA and been working out there, and been taking my daughter swimming in the pool. I have discovered they have belts I can use because I'm not a strong swimmer and can exercise. I love it! Now I read a note about migraines and chlorine. I notice an increase lately in my migraines and the severity of them and I wonder now if they are from the chlorine. They put a LOT of cholrine in the water there and I come out smelling like a bottle of bleach water. I will have to actively watch myself and monitor my migraines to see how I do with them. If I get them after swimming I will know now it's from the chlorine and I won't be able to go into the pool anymore. :(  I'm sad because it's such good exercise!!!!! It's a shame! I wish they didn't use chlorine!!!!!!
