Sometimes on the news they have a 'Pain Index'. I believe it has to do with barometric pressure. I get muddled up with it all, but I believe it has to do with low fronts moving in, and less to do with temperature. However, if you do have a condition such as Raynauds, temperature would apply as well. My geographical area always seem to have a significant pain index, lol...I can't find the 'right' place to live...and I am getting to old to move..again...and would likely end up in a third world country due to my budget. (I never figured out what a 'third world' country really meant, but I figure a place with 'cheap real estate' and social unrest, which would likely be bad for my 'nerves.)

Often times, we don't correlate a 'delayed' pain reaction to something we 'did' 48 hours prior, but the inflammation cycle in some people is quite delayed....I know mine is about 36 hours after exertion. If I over do, I can quite predictably end up in the ER, with severe migranous, totally upper body, and projectile vomitting...go figure. On the other hand, I have some pain that never, ever goes away, regardless of weather or activity.

See if you can find info on the pain index.

I wish we would get some of your rain. It seems to be going north over us to Canada...eventually it all goes downstream again, however that isn't helping my tomato plants now.

I am globally anhidrotic, and we are averaging 10 degrees higher than usual and in drought conditions, dominated by high pressure....and, I still hurt. Not to mention, we don't have our central air in yet....just a room air conditioner, which is proving a challenge...just put in yesterday, when I caved. Hubby warned me last fall, but NOOOOO, I wanted the new light fixtures instead.

Some things defy logic, and for me, the more I think about it...the worse it gets.

Be careful taking extra Lyrica. It isn't a prn drug for pain, unless doc says you can take extra....it could result in overdose or in rebound pain when it wears off. Talk to doc, there might be something else he/she can give you for breakthru pain.

Hope you feel better soon.
