Is anybody here sensitive to weather changes??

[ALago1]

I'm only 23 but think I am sometimes able to predict the weather.

Beginning last night I started feeling really achey all over. The pain would jump around to different joints but always stayed at the same intensity. Also, I began to have a general dull headache that moved around to different spots in my head.

This has happened numerous times in the past, always a day or so before a storm of some sort rolls in. Sure enough, our forecast calls for thunderstorms all day tomorrow. I also get these feeling before snowstorms. Oddly enough, thunderstorms in the summer months don't affect me.

Anybody else get these phantom aches and pains out of nowhere? I'm curious if I'm just weird that way.

1. barometric pressure changes....I feel them too, but mostly where I

have had broken bones.

[AlCzervik]

2. i get a migraine when the pressure changes.

[Sanity Claws]

17. Same here

I'm still trying to learn how to manage my migraines.

[Left Is Write]

3. Yes. I tend to get an earache/sore throat every time

there is a significant weather change.

Like this week, for example.

4. I get a sinus infection at the change of season.

Never fails. I already had mine for the Fall-winter change. It lasted about a week.

[dorktv]

13. Mine last for about six weeks but whenever there is a change...

I use musinex for it...what do you use?

[WeRQ4U]

15. I tried everything. Musinex, saline, afrin etc. All that crap..

I finally told the doctor to medicate me. So he gave me antibiotics (which don't usually work on sinus infections) and they worked. I must not get sinusitis, but instead like a bacterial infection. Omoxycillin (sp) I believe.

22. Well at least you got what works. :)

5. Yes -- when my ankle aches a certain way, it rains

Much more accurate than Doppler Radar.

Oh... it works for snow, too....

[skygazer]

6. Oh, absolutely

I can tell when it's going to rain because my right foot aches where I broke it. And when it's cold, my lower back with the arthritis in it hurts. I get migraines when the humidity level is high and when it's very hot, my left knee (with which I'm not sure what the hell is wrong) gets swollen and painful.

I'm a walking meteorologist. :shrug:

7. There are studies right now that suggest Parkinsons is effected by weather

I joke all the time saying that I can tell when a storms coming and that the plus side is I have super powers. On the bad side I keep getting real sluggish and heavy, like am being bear hugged to death by an invisible bear. After wards I have all this abundant energy.
Winter is the worse for me that's when my legs go out for two or three months and am confined to a chair. The muscles act like there casted. Fortunately my old man got me a harmonica to pass the time away. Yep I believe in weather sensitives. I am one.

8. Neuritis & Neuralgia.....

My mother, who was born at the turn of the last Century, used to say her Neuritis & Neuralgia were predicting changes in the weather...old fashion, but most often accurate.

Definitions:

Neuralgia.....
Neuralgia is defined as an intense burning or stabbing pain caused by irritation of or damage to a nerve. The pain is usually brief but may be severe. It often feels as if it is shooting along the course of the affected nerve.

Neuritis
Inflammation of a nerve or group of nerves.

9. I am

I have multiple knee injuries that have caused successive tissue damage. When there's a big change in barometric pressure, like with a big storm, I can hardly walk sometimes.

10. I'm 25 and I'm a walking barometer

Of course, having arthritis in every major joint and having had shoulder reconstruction, that'll happen to ya.

[HEyHEY]

11. YEah, I've got a bad shoulder that aches

[The Flaming Red Head]

12. cervical, lumbar, sciatica, acting up is certain rain

I won't even tell you about cold.

[ALago1]

20. Yeah something about the cold messes me up

I'm usually fine when it's warm, even if there is a bad storm a' brewin.

But when the weather turns cooler, I have a reaction to pretty much any pressure change.

Strange, I think I need to move out west...

[BlueIris]

14. No, but I WISH I were. We had a cold snap last night that surprised me.

It was very snappy. I've been freezing all day long. Bitter, pissed off, and irritable.

[Chovexani]

16. I'm around your age and I get something similar

I have an old gymnastics injury from when I was about 12. I screwed up a dismount from the balance beam and slammed my knee into the metal part. When my knee starts feeling weird, there's a bad storm coming. It never fails, either.

[texas1928]

18. Yep.

My Joints ache, my bullet wound itches. My arthritis hurts worse.

[Mutley]

19. No, but it would be a lot of fun, right?

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

21. Big time

My arthritic bones were accurate to within 24 hours. I'm not as effective anymore- I'm now on Remicade, which is a powerful arthritis drug. I still feel it, but not nearly as strongly as before.

23. Allergic asthma affected by bariatric changes.

Lots of fun. Still getting used to the flora and fauna in SF.
