I have suffered on a mild level the same thing. I am a repiratory therapist and understand the physics of the atmosphere. I need to explain that it may not be due to a depressive order per/se. I feel it has lot to do with highy sensitive people. For me I can tell you when the low is coming before the weather channel. My symptoms are feeling of being spacy and that is due to a drop in the partial pressure of oxygen related to the drop in the atmospheric pressure. From the highly sensitive side, I get a feeling that something is about to happen that is nothing more than the flight/fight response. To be honest something is happening and that is the drop in pressure. That triggers the anxiety. So I must say I do not take medications for it because I understand the phemenon. Many doctors just prescribe. I feels when one understands the affect there are other ways to cope. Try googling " highly sensitive people". We in this group sense things so readily it keep you in the flight or fight syndrome which can exhausting leading to feeling the blues.

My husband is a scientist whose research involves atmospheric science (i.e. meteorology but they don't like being called meteorologists thanks to the weather man/woman on TV). I asked one of his colleagues if she knew of any research that could help me understand some of the cognitive changes I experienced when storms rolled in when I was having problems with my shunt over draining. She said that she has spoken with some reputable researcher in other countries that do think "there is something there" but have found it difficult to measure. She did mention that a fascinating discussion with a colleague about the possibility that the change could be due to electrical fields rather then the change in pressure. My dog goes totally crazy during thunderstorms and will start pacing several hours before the storm starts but only if it is a thunderstorm. He doesn't do it with just rain or snow storms so I think there might be something to that. My Accuweather app gives me a migraine forecast so

Whenever the air pressure stays below 1008 hPa for several hours or the air pressure falls from its intraday high for more than 4 hPa or the fall is too rapid, my depression got worse (feeling very low in energy, want to lie down without stamina.I will feel very sleepy and have more bad dreams. I will also be more irritable). I am sharing my experience here, hoping to find other depression patients to reconfirm my findings. If the low pressure worsens my depression, I guess it is because it lowers the saturation of oxygen in air, so I am currently taking some high altitude medicine to boost the oxygen saturation in my blood. It might be working so far but I need more time to reconfirm its efficacy. Pls share you experience if any. |

By the way, do you mean bone pain or joint pain? I assume low air pressure will makes the joint fluid exert outward and cause pain in your joint, not bones. By the way, in Hong Kong, today's air pressure drops again to 1007 hPa (but in a slow pace) but I don't feel very tired/weak. I suppose it is because the drop in air pressure is slow, so it allows my body to adjust to it and the bad effect is less serious. Or I am less affected today because of today's high humid (at 97%). I need more observation to discern whether it is high humidity or slow pace of drop that alleviate my problem. |

Yes to both And many other spine vertebrae and nerve problems I also feel the pressure in my head If that should make any sense to you I have always been aware of such things as that Maybe I should have done something in science I always loved science I remember my grammer school teacher Mr. Leone Enjoyed his teaching Back to seasonal depression I am interested in anymore info you may have on a personal level Such as what kind of changes does your body feel I not only have joint pain But I also have pain in my shins Face Fingers My nerve related issues Are not addressed and am masked With opioid medicine for the mechanical pain Especially where the hardware in my neck I have spurs in the area And extreme lower back problems Both spine and nerve I feel in my lower back is the spot And oddly enough the base of my skull hurts something fierce When at my worst it puts me in laying position Basically bed ridden Past couple of days from clear drier sunny days in the 60's by 2:00 P.M. and then snow Thanks for sharing Me

Hi BaroMeter
Welcome to NeuroTalk . This thread is fairly old so you might not get much response here. You could think about posting in the General Health Conditions forum (https://www.neurotalk.org/forum2/); you might get more support and helpful ideas from other members there. Best wishes.
