I'm not sure if this has been brought up before, but I'm sure most of us have heard that changes in weather and barometric pressure can worsen headaches and migraines. I found that bad headache days for me usually happen on days with big weather changes/ changes in barometric pressure. I have also heard April-May can be the worst time of year for this.

I found out the weather channel has an "Aches and Pains" rating based on the weather. It rates it on a scale of one to ten.

I found its somewhat reassuring for me if I am having an usually bad day to confirm that drastic weather changes are involved.

VEry true... a couple of weeks ago we had a drastic weather change, and I landed up feeling horrible. Hubby came home and pointed out that it was likely weather related... It doesn't always help knowing, but I guess the knowledge that I didn't DO something to set myself back is always good.

I am so glad that you brought up weather changes. I have only realized this year that the barometric pressure falling is a big trigger for my migraines.

We didn't have much rain this year and then the rains started along with thunderstorms. One of the worst migraines I had was while it was storming outside.

I surely hope that this doesn't last. In other words, I hope that we can outgrow these sensitivities....
