I was wondering if anybody else feels extra-lousy when the barometer drops? I can usually count on it...and the low from Ophelia is passing us right now.
Anyone know if that's related to a specific one these bugs we have?
Thanks!

I have inherited cluster headaches that are affected by the barometric pressure. For me, anything under 28 or over 31.

If you want to track the pressure you will need a digital barometer. They are not cheap though, but more accurate than the standard.

Migraine sites seem to recomend the Weems & Plath Marine Digital Barometer.

I had a doc tell meonce, that we can predict the weather better then the weather man. I always that it was an interesting phenom.

Big time! I can always tell when the pressure is dropping because my joints ache and my feet swell!

OH MY GOD! Thank you someone. I want to cry...Ive been feeling better with energy, exercise, etc. and feel like relapse.

Should I expect this to be a reoccurring thing with seasonal, weather changes?

I'd broken the arch in my foot and told my husband this a.m. that it was killing me. I always feel it. But also I feel mentally/physically uncertain. I really don't like this part.

I get the very same thing! Any big changes in the weather and I flare like you would not believe!

I get the worse headaches [bonk]

Absolutely, my symptoms flair w/changes in the barometric pressure.

Posted by WildCondor (Member # 434) on :

It used to do that to me all the time. When the pressure would drop my joints would hurt more and I would get brain foggy and tired. I don't feel any effect anymore but for yearsI could predict the weather!! You are not alone!

All the time. Ophelia's out there now and I am dragging!

Thanks for bringing this up. You've reminded me why I've been feeling so crappy lately. Another thing that happens with me ...... I can tell if a thunder/lightening storm is coming by my increased panic level.
