Weather and its' effects

[Guest guest]

I saw some of the post regarding how weather affects some people, but was

wondering if any one's body acts like mine does. In the summer, the hotter &

more humid the better for me. If it cools down rapidly, such as a wicked

cold front or even a strong rain my headaches intensify greatly and my body

starts to hurt. I'll live with that. But in the late fall, winter and early

to mid spring I suffer greatly. My headaches go off the charts and last for

weeks at a time. My joints hurt so bad at night that they wake me up

constantly, although they do this in the summer the pain isn't as bad. My

back, which feels alright in the summer since I had the morphine pump

implant, scream in pain the colder it gets. I could go on & on, but why bore

anyone.

Anyone else feel the same? What really blows my mind is that 2 years ago

I was in South Carolina in late October. I felt good, the weather was fine.

Out of the blue the weather took a wicked turn and cooled down about 25

degrees in a day. I thought being further south would help, or at least

diminish the degree to how bad I'd feel. Man was I wrong.....it took a ton

of " intestinal fortitude " to keep from visiting another out of state resort,

and I still don't know how I was able to drive all the way home. On my way

down I covered 720 miles in just over 10 hours (I like to " jam " on the

highway...just give me a car that will run between 85-105 (conditions

permitting) without shaking, wandering, making noise or overheating and I'll

get you there pretty damn fast) and the trip home took 34 hours as I had to

keep pulling off of the road due to double vision (common with my headaches)

or outright agonizing pain. It made the trip seem horrible in hindsight.

Sorry for drifting.......that's just me at times.
