subconscious conservative?

Post by potholerepairman » Tue Dec 15, 2009 3:21 am

While sleeping on my back or turned to the right breathing is great with a nasel pillow mask.When just thinking(head only) of leaning left I get an Anxiety attack of what could go wrong(shortness of breath)Every millimeter turned left hurts like someone is stealing from me(shorter and shorter breaths).If I put my heart into leaning left(torso and upper body) its like I have been attached to a vibrating weight loss machine but in a sideways hurtful way.If i try to commit left(feet and whole body) the rest comes but with a price to pay later on(unrelated shoulder pain).The world is darker on the left side (shorter breath) and I seek answers. Should I only lean right or go the straight and narrow path(back sleeping) without ever crossing into left land?


In my perfect world I want to cheer the Obama train as it goes by and throw the occasional snowball at it too.

So, perhaps I can offer a humorous look at a classic conservative:

And I wish you fun along your journey ... and perhaps a tasty "just desert" !

P.S. Nothing wrong with throwing some figurative snowballs. In fact, it's healthy to not take any politician very seriously. Conservative, moderate, or liberal ... most politicians want one thing ... to stay in their current job. Some (though certainly not all) actually try to help their consituents. But far too many politicians only see their constituents as a means toward their objective of power. So, a figurative snowball or two is very healthy. The gadfly has long helped keep the process honest.

Whichever side you are laying on, the lower sinus/nostril will experience more "congestion" than the top one. Also, there is a natural back-and-forth fluctuation between the sinuses, and natural process of slight swelling or expansion.

thanks,Its something to look at, years back had the two sausage bones taken out and they zapped my nose while I was awake and it smelled really bad. they did the throat twice while awake too now that smelled even worse if anyone knows what they call that surgery , would love to know as I can't find the doctor or the paper work on it even though it was me getting worked on it was a while back 15 years or so.I was reading the tv guide saw an ad that said stop snoring and called to see if they took my insurance and low and behold they did.
