Hi all…
Just wondering if any of you notice your symptoms worsen when there are changes in the Barometric pressure like when it’s going to or is raining/snowing…?
Thanks Lovett! I know it def affects my migraines and just assumed it would prob do the same with the fibro but my body is “very active today” pain wise, fasciculations wise, migraine wise… Guess I’m just gonna have to deal lol
Rain is very hard for me. My joints ache so much. I also noticed that any dramatic change in temperature, whether up or down, can lead to a flare up. The summers are much better.
The barometric pressure here plummeted today, Cheyenne, from pouring rain, driving snow, and now high winds!
So much for the warm sunny day that was predicted!
The barometric low that I noticed on my iphone was 29.2, it's risen to 29.84, but it should ideally be around 30.3 or above.
I have also decided that the humidity is a big factor in how we are feeling!
Hope we get some relief, Cheyenne!
Definitely.
My son has been begging me to put on my old man voice and say, “There’s a storm movin’ in”, every time it rains.
It's time these storms are 'movin' out', Grump!
I forget if I answered you or not but here goes: YES!!! In fact, it affects me even if my area doesn't get the storm but a big storm is brewing fairly close by. Yesterday we had a lot of rain plus thunder and lightening. My Gosh, my chest hurt so badly No, it's not my heart, that's been tested a lot. Just the stupid costochondritis banging away at my ribs. Snow storms are even worse and I get very wheezy from them, as well.
So yes, you're absolutely right. Storms will affect you. You aren't crazy. They really do.
Ugh… Hope you have a med that will help ((hugs))
Oh Tina that must be so tough! I am sure I’ve had this for a few years so I’m pretty sure I’m right there with you… I never do well during hot, humid weather either and recently the very cold bone filling cold kills me… Ugh!! So I feel for you because our winter has been long and cold, too:) thanks for your reply…
Ya SK it’s supposed to get gross here today… Woke up a bit sore around my joints already but thankfully I’m feeling better since adding my Gabapentin! Hope you have a better day today:)
Oh Grumpy Cat that was funny!!! Lol thanks for the laugh!!
Oh wow Petunia Girl, you poor thing!!! I hope you don’t get too bad!! Good luck and thanks for your reply:)
