Yes, I have more pain with low air pressure. It is especially when the low pressure is connected with high humidity (Which it usually is in my area). The Skeptical Enquirer tossed it off as an old wives tale, but then they said that in one study, the pressure/humidity thing was the only one of the air pressure beliefs was true. Some people CAN tell when it is going to storm. BB JB Glaze ===== And the day came, when the risk to remain tight in bud became more painful than the risk to bloom.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2000 Report Share Posted December 11, 2000 I have to join the fray regarding dropping barometer and pain. However, thanks to Celebrex and St. s Wort (knocking wood) I no longer feel such horrid pain. I can actually move around the day before and during rainy weather. Anyone who laughs about this should feel the pain for a day!! Take care, Joan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2000 Report Share Posted December 11, 2000 > Do you have more pain when the barometer falls? < For sure! When the barometer starts falling the pain levels skyrocket. When the barometer hits its lowest point I just go to bed and sleep. I used to tell my grandmother that it was impossible to tell weather by joint pain. Now I wish I could apologize to her. She was right! Seems like a lot of old folk ways weren't as crazy as I once thought. Ray in Virginia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2000 Report Share Posted December 12, 2000 Hi All, I have increased when the weather changes either way. Also, I was told by my first rheumatologist that I would find the spring and fall seasons the worst for my pain. So far the fall season is always my worstest (sp?). Spring can be painful too, depending on how much it rains and is cold out at the same time. Yes - weather will affect many of us, depending on what is the cause of our chronic pain. Lois in PA Pain & Weather Hi All, Do you have more pain when the barometer falls? some people tell me that this is hogwash, but today the pressure is very low and I am having a lot of pain.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2000 Report Share Posted December 12, 2000 Hi. I am new to this group but had to throw my 2 cents in on this one. I always feel worse when the weather is changing. I was in tears Sunday night with my hands and back. Sure enough a big cold front hit Monday morning and I felt much better. Joy in Dallas Reiter's syndrome and lots more...

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 I find low pressure to be almost agonising. I can always tell when a low is coming, even w/o the rain.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 My chronic neurological pain is not effected by the weather. However I get really bad tension headaches and restlessness if there's low pressure - especially if it's building up to a thunder storm. I've had this for years - I can always know, as these symptoms are so different than my other problems. Do doctors think these symptoms are made up? What about people with rheumatic problems - they are very effected when the weather changes. Why should that be more legitimate than other symptoms having to do with weather changes? - H - >I find low pressure to be almost agonising.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 I have been told that pain in joints when a weather change is coming is an old wives tale. This old wife and her Mother says it is differently true. We are having an ice storm here in Dallas and I am in severe pain. My hands are almost unbearable. Also Sunday as the front approached I had a huge flare. With some relief as it passed on Monday morning.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 Greetings, I need to comment that the scientists tried to debunk the 'old wive's tale' about all pain/weather interactions. They actually focused on rhumatic disorders, so they are NOT singling us, non-rhumatic people out. The de-bunking didn't stick, but they keep trying. What do we, 'old wives' that some of us are, know. It's just our bodies, they're the experts. Sorry, 's in a pain-filled bitchy mood today.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 The Monster Snow/Ice Storm is marching eastward! I can tell we are going to get it because my right hip, lower back, left knee, and both feet are annoucing that the barometer is falling!

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 I think it has finally stopped raining, at least for the moment, but now they are saying " freezing fog " for tonight.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 >Hi I just joined the list and I think I will enjoy meeting everyone. I have RSDS and I can feel the change in weather about two days before. Both my wrists are effected and even though the pain is always there I don't take medications or have nerve blocks any longer. I would rather deal with the pain then just mask it and possibly hurt myself without knowing. I am always terrified of falling and trying to stop myself with my hands.
