When my arthritis was bad and there was a big storm coming I would always have stirrings of joint pain worse than usual-

Only thing I can think of- no big deal though-

I ache from head to toe when a front comes through. In fact I can tell before looking at a weather map that the front has hit the Kentucky border. The closer it gets the worse I feel and then after it passes the sx start to subside.

When I was at my illest 5 yrs ago, this was much worse. Today I still feel it, but it's not on top of a long list of other symptoms.

Yes, I believe weather plays a major role in how I feel.

I feel my best on clear, sunny days where the temp. stays right around 75-80 degrees.

If it is too humid or it is cloudy and rainy, it seems to always be a bad day for my neurological symptoms.

And if there is a low-pressure system or storm coming, forget it. I have a headache and am in such a brain fog, its unbelievable. The lower the pressure, the worse the headache and "fog".

I started feeling the weather like that before I even knew about Lyme. It was one of the symptoms that was making my doctors really think that I was crazy.

Dana, I can't wait to be 80 yrs olds and feel 110???? Maybe before then they/we will find wellness again and be active more mature adults.

I'm not going to quit until I do. Never know I might make it to 110 yrs?? Surely by then everyone will know the truth about this awful illness. I can say to family and friends, "I told you my illness wasn't just a coincedence and epidemic. No I wasn't crazy after all."

I wanna move to the tropical islands where it is sunny & nice most of the time. Can't complain here lately...it's been sunny & no real rain for 3 months ( we are in a big time drought)

But today is cloudy and raining & I have a headache & feeling slow.

Yesterday was sunny ~ I cleaned our house & went on a 3 hour photo shoot.

Oh well ~ I'll wait it out... Like Scarlet says" Tommorow is another day"

I can always tell when a big rain storm is comming. It hits my joints so hard.

Also cold/snow weather makes my joints swell and hurt so bad.

yes high humidity definately makes my joint pain much worse and even sinuses are more congested, too bad we cant control the weather!

I know that prior to Lyme, when we had a storm or low pressure

System in The Gulf of Mexico, it affected the children I worked with.

Strange behaviors.

Now I feel the low pressure systems from my toes on up.

I used to be able to feel weather on my old scars (i.e. appendectomy, 2 c-sections).

Now I just sit and see how I feel to determine the weather.....and my day.

I feel like a walking barometer.

Hugs,

Geneal
