I can put an Amen to pony boy's expert. It is the process of the change in the pressure more so than if it is up or down.
They say that it causes pregnant women to go into labor. Especially along with a full moon. (That's not old wife's tale either)

Hi Judy...

I certainly know what you mean! Rainy days actually seem to take the edge off my chronic pain BUT bring out the sunshine and gorgeous days and the pain soars. Seems like the reverse should be true!

Various seasons or months seem to alter the course of the pain also. Late August/September and April are the demon months for pain and December always guarantees a flare!

Extreme temperature changes in one day...crank up that pain level. Going from morning mid 50's to an afternoon high level of 79 plus is always a challenge...

Hope today is a low level pain day for everyone...and glad to know I am not the only weather weary CPer! My doc still claims the weather has little to no effect on the pain...

Beautiful rose.

Same here about the pain /barometric pressure. Has been working overtime lately. I wish I knew how to make it better because it is causing the migraine's, and a host of other things go crazy.

Good to "see" you Pam. Julia aka JoJo6

The last 2 years have played havoc for me when it is damp and rainy. I don't know if it was because of all of the hurricanes passing through and all of the weather changes or what. I just know thats when I really started noticing a drastic change and alot more pain.

The last few weeks with this on and off rain have played on me too. That and the overcast skies leave that gloom and doom feeling for me too. They say alot of people suffer depression then and suggest florescent lights. But I hate those. They make my eyes feel dizzy like.

In Florida we have that bite to the bone cold. Its usually damp and real windy and it just freezes you. Its a different cold than up North. It really is cold when its cold here. My daughter always says she is freezing when it gets in the 50's. It really hurts on those days in my body...I dread seeing those days come.... I hurt from head to toe then.

Hope this winter everyone stays by a nice cozy fire or under piles of covers and has less pain than last year. I remember it seems like everyone was feeling bad then. Take care everyone.

Hey Carly. Pooh! Pooh on your doc...obviously does not have chronic pain. Low pressure systems definately cause me to hurt without relief. Ponyboy, what does your son say about HOT weather. That makes me hurt and feel ill.

Sarah here, I'd had 7 levels fused two years ago. I'm 47 and wow can I feel pain and swelling when the weather changes..do you also have swelling?? I'm in Colorado. I was in the desert in California for a couple of months last year and felt great the entire time. Came back on the plane, I swelled so bad I had to unbutton my jeans. Doctors think I'm absolutely nuts and tried to put me on antidepressants. (tried but did not succeed). Just wondering if you have any of these same issues.

Absolutely the low pressure makes me ache more. Our weather lately has been really bad for that. We will have a couple of sunny days and then two or three days of rain and then back to the sunny weather, so my body hasn't been getting any relief.

I just moved to the desert too. I have never had this happen to me before till now. I have Fx my L wrist twice and my R once. Last night it started to rain and my R begain to stiffen up and became painful this morning. It happen once to my L with rain as well. I'm no stranger to humid weather so its boggleing my mind.
