Just like all, it seems to be the 'changes' that hurt, although:
Barometer rising, starts to help (i.e. a storm clearing) it's still a change,

Also, I can't stand the heat and humidity, any more than I used not be able to stand the cold (still can't)....

Give me 70 degrees any day, even the daytime / nite time differences cause me pain, and it's always at it's worse in the AM. I love waking up to a new day!

Love ya'll

in the winter it makes my arm ache so badly. Since this is relatively new for me, I also discovered that ANY major change in temperature will make it flare. When the first heat wave of summer hit I had 2 major flares, but it seemed to calm down a little once my body got used to it.

The barometric pressure is an issue for me and because I live a mile above sea level even the slightest change can be felt. I started using this http://www.wunderground.com/history/...q_statename=NA Weather Underground to look at the pressure (you have to scroll way down to see it)at any given time of day to measure a correlation, and every single time there was a measureable difference in my symptoms and the drop in pressure. At the top you can chose to look at the history for any given day.

Granted the link I posted is for my area, but perhaps you can somehow use it for where you live. Not sure how I got to my particular location on that site because it was such a long tome ago that I made a permanent link on my PC. I would research it but I was just popping in for a minute. I have been feeling a little under the weather. No pun intended Having a bug on top of the CRPS is always SO MUCH FUN!

I have a small weather station that I got a few years before the CRPS, and for me it is fascinating to see this marker for my symptoms change.... I don't check it all the time, not even every day, but if I have a flare or just feel lousy, I can guarantee that the barometric pressure will be doing SOMETHING! It won't just be sitting there nicely at an even level for the past few days!

My RSD hates cold and hot a lot and these are obviously associated with winter and summer in a temperate climate but I don't think it's the weather per se that causes the trouble.

I have stress worrying about the onset of winter but otherwise I don't think the weather affects me.

Yes, in my wife's case, profoundly.

My symptoms are worsened by cold weather if I get chilled, and definitely by anything other than a gentle wind blowing on my skin. No effect by low pressure systems that I've noticed.

(CRPS type II for 8 years from venipuncure nerve injury during blood donation. Neuropathy is in entire right half of body, but stable and manageable with meds, excercise, and biofeedback.)

Before a rain storm my arm does burn quite a bit. I'm so very thankful to be in a warm climate so I won't have to experience cold until November or December.
I do know when cold water runs across my arm it might just as well be acid or something.

Cold hurts. Whether its ice, or just the winter coming on. It hurts. I can tell my husband when he needs to close all the windows on house or truck just by how I feel. Good thing I live in NM lol. Even if its clear at the time he does it. My knee is the best weather predictor I could ever have lol.

very much so..
