Default It is a blizzard here and I am hurting!

Hi fellow chronic pain sufferer's,
I am living in hell. I live in Utah (no I am not a Mormon but my family is, I am just a True Christian) it has snowed like 15 feet of snow all night. I have been up all night. Why does it hurt so bad when storms come through? I feel like when I hear on the news that there is going to be a blizzard I need to get to the hospital and say hook me up with massive pain killers or better yet put me in a coma until the weather clears up please. I wish I could buy a chronic pain patient weather plan opiate knockout plan at the hospital. Hey, that is a good idea for a business. Sell knock out service for chronic pain people when barometric pressure changes than you know they will be coming on in. How much would you pay to hibernate through this **** in a comfortable dream coma? Now I am sounding a bit like Michael Jackson. I think he must of had chronic pain. I am loosing it friends. I need to go try to sleep.
Much love to you all,
Brain Patch

Oh I know what you mean. Every darn time the barometer changes here, I'm in agony. I live in Michigan, and the barometer is bouncing around all the time, and it drives me insane! One minute it's sunny, and the next it's snowing like a #$#@%. Summers are just as bad -- sunny one minute, and a tornado the next.

I'm getting too OLD for this crap. (63) My mind says I'm 25, but the old body says 95. LOL I'm about ready to throw that $@!!%$@ barometer out the darn window! ACK!

Thumbs up

I live is the often warm Las Vegas, but it does get cooler here. Even a fan in a warm room, or air conditioning causes extreme stabbing pain. I am in my early twenty's and too young to be feeling this old The past week has been agony and mornings are the worst as I get up into my cold room. I hate migraines, I hate PCS, I hate pain! I am sick and tired of being sick and tired and in pain!
Anyways rant for the night over, I hope that all'yall have found some amazing way to sleep without putting any pressure on your head, and that your meds are fooling you into believing that there is a cure.
Live Long and Prosper!
In Christ,
Margarite

Since the first concussion I have continually knocked my head into different things purely by accident or from being stupid. These many concussions over a short period of time have caused
constant migraines, nausea, and dizziness/lack of balance.
Migraine triggers are:
light sensitivity (especially to florescent or bright lights)
sound sensitivity (especially to high pitched or loud sounds)
temperature sensitivity (especially to cold or extreme heat)
activity (especially if breathing increases or head is jostled)
pressure on head (sinuses, hats, headbands, sunglasses, pony-tails)
lacks or quality (food, sleep, water)
tension (stress, tight muscles, tired eyes, sickness)
