Hi Ada...yes, I use the lidoderm patches. It's hard to wrap them around each and every finger though :) I cant get into the old forums. Something is all weird with my password so I can't even sign in :confused: Oh well...I was given a "time out" just before the board went down anyway for defending my friends against someone who was calling them "addicts" cuz of the meds they were taking. And truth me todl, I'd do it again :) Perhaps they just don't want me back LOL!

I hope you are doing much better....Try that site i posted and follow it maybe??? There's a 10 day forecast for your zip code. Seems if it's on target, I should just let them know NOW that I won't be at work on Friday. Sigh...

Hugs

There is no magic number. It is just whenever it starts to fall. Once it levels off I feel better. There are also times when it starts to go up that I will hurt also. Usually when it rises quickly is when that happens. Basically any change up or down, BUT when it goes down is when I feel pain more acutely. Down is worse.

I truly am a walking Barometer. I feel it coming even before the Barometer registers it.

Barometer/Humidity=Anxiety/Panic!!
 

I have been looking for so long for a site like this! WOW!
What I notice is since Brain Surgery Febuary 2011, I have terrible panic attacks+anxiety! My Drs here tell me there is no link in this....I strongly disagree!
Anyway, I have been keeping track over the last month and I have noticed a trend in my panic/anxiety. Both are much worse when the barometer or humidity are higher.
I love the website link to check the barometer. That was helpful and really easy to use!
But thanks so much for the info here!
God bless :D

Most definitely the barometric pressure plays a role in how bad the RSD/CRPS will be. Usually I can tell a day or two before the front actually hits. I have also monitored using weather underground’s site, and for us here in Colorado we typically have a daily drop in the afternoon especially during monsoon season. In Colo we are so high up in altitude (a mile above sea level or 5280 feet) that I feel even the slightest drop like the daily one we get. But boy oh boy if a system is pushing through and the ceiling drops (barometric pressure) a lot, I will feel this a day or two before it arrives. My husband and I laugh that I should really consider a career in meteorology. :)
