Just had a thought. It's not got anything to do with those dusty organ lofts you frequent has it.??

[dulciana]

Well...............it might!  .......no, to be honest, Shadyglade, where I play it's all down at ground level.  Funnily enough, I haven't ever had this business when I've been playing.  It's probably because I'm absorbed and not thinking about "me" at the time. 

[Shadyglade]

Oh well, cross that one off the list then. 

[dulciana]

Mind you, it's something to think about for whenever I do have to play in an organ loft that's dusty - and some are - so thank you for suggesting that.

Update............I do have asthma.  Just found out today.  Oh well, at least I know now and to be honest, it doesn't surprise me.
I've got to see my GP next week and she'll sort out my medication.  Ho hum, tiddley pom, as Winney the Pooh says......(at least i think he does....)

Sorry to hear that Dulciana.
But at least you know now what it is.
And because you thought it was similar to mine ,
Next time I go to docs I will ask her for a test, I too sometimes cough at night.
Sometimes as well, it does feel ‘different ‘ to my anxiety breathing, if you know what I mean.
Hope everything goes well for you, and thanx for letting us know.

Take care, jd xx

Jillydoll, yes that would probably be a good move.  I went to my GP a few weeks ago, who then referred me to the hospital outpatients.  I was quite relieved to get it properly checked because I've also had quite a bit of wheezing lately, needing to take the inhaler from the GP more often.  I think this awful hot, humid summer has brought it to a head.

Interesting. Never knew salt was good for breathing.   And I've just found out the only salt cave in Scotland is ten minutes' drive away from our house.  Not sure about the expense of it all, though......

[shrosphirelass]

I've never hear of salt caves that people sit it for therapeutic reasons. Sounds really interesting

[dulciana]

Hi Daisydot and thanks for all this very helpful information!  I won't do anything about it yet, as I've got a follow-up appt. this week with my GP to find out what medication I need.  But as I do live near to one of these salt caves, I'll do some digging!    Sorry.........

[jillydoll]

Never heard of them Daisydot....
My god, your a fountain of information.
Did you go and do it? Was it any good?

I use sea salt in my cooking. Never heard of Himalayan pink salt. 
Where you buy that from?
You'll have come and do all my cooking for me.....

[jillydoll]

Just googled it daisydot.
It's called halo therapy.
And as for the salt, I'm buying some come Monday.
Jamie Oliver's got one that's a grinder as well. £3
at Sainsbury's.
Just read about what's in our ordinary table salt (which we do use as well as sea salt)
And it's not good.

Just a quick question, do you use it when cooking veg, or boiling potato's?
Does it taste any ‘salter' than ordinary salt, or the same?

[jillydoll]

Should be good for OH then, he has high blood pressure.

Good one babe, really good info..
I've had a quick read about table salt, I knew salt is bad for us, but didn't know
what was in it, so yeah, I will be shopping for the pink one now.

Keep posting honey, I'm learning something new nearly everyday....
