Are you affected by barometric pressure?

[araminta]

I suspect this had a lot to do with three miserable days I had shortly after Christmas - exhausted, aching, no appetite.   I used to get migraines when I was younger and thought that they were, at least some of the time,  linked to low pressure.

We've got high pressure at present and I feel quite a lot better.   Maybe it's my imagination?

I can't add much to this, but I and my husband feel differences when it changes.

ABSOLUTELY.

EVERY TIME.

Since I was a kid I have been affected by the barometric pressure. It is so weird. I would have asthma and still do when the pressure drops. I also get so weak and ache in my joints now since my 20's or so. Sometimes I wake up now in the morning and think I must be getting the flu and then I raise the shade and see what the weather is doing and I get out the heating pad.

It really is strange and I would think that many people don't know what is causing them to feel so bad. meirish

Yes, I wonder if some of us are, unluckily, much more sensitive to weather patterns than others. 

Thinking back to even before my migraines started in my 30's, I used to sometimes have a "tired day" which I could never understand, there would be no obvious reason for it.

Me too, Irish.

My joints and muscles ache to no end when the weather changes.

My rheumatologist told me that it's been scientifically proven that barometric pressure changes affect people with arthritis as does patients' experiences. I can tell when the weather is going to change either for the better or the worse, a day ahead of time. I have come to appreciate when the weather clears as I feel normal.

I used to have a 250mile sensitivity. I do not now.
