Thumbs up

Good illustration Spine95!

Arthritis especially! I would venture to say 'anything' bone-related, like Spine indicates, could potentially be noticed by weather changes. (to alot of folks anyway)
Regarding burning/nerve-related, I don't notice a change, like Mark.
But oh Lord, my 'bad' spots where Mr "Arthur Ritis" dwells, I definately notice a change when the barometric pressure changes and when bad weather (rainy and damp) rolls in.

Heyyyy, i wonder if we used Spine's illustration BACKWARD, would it lead to a cure?? We could freeze our 'bad spots' and THEN light em on fire! This sounds simple enuf to me!

Rock on I say

Rae

It's raining here today (lower pressure system) and my arthritis is already on fire! This phenomenon is supposed to occur during pressure changes - not afterward when they've already risen/fallen!

I guess that's why half the super seniors in my building are hobbling around today saying "thars a storma comin'". Gee, I love it down South. My spineometer says we will have rain late tonight. The spine quiets down by the time the storm arrives. You know you need to get a better life when you and your friends sit around on the veranda and take bets on what time the storm will hit and who has the most accurate spineometer.

We used to say we knew when we'd arrived at middle age because conversations began to center around medical conditions and the numbers and kinds of supplements we were taking.

...And someone would wonder why the kids were all in the other room playing video games...

Teeth So THEN

The adults out of a demonstration of utter maturity and a desire for restoration of youth took up..........

RUGBY!.... followed by yet another healthy discussion of aches and pains.

Default Just back from vacation

Had a great time....much needed respite from living in this world of pain that we can get so caught up in! Beautiful waves rolling in, warm days with balmy breezes...but I did notice something interesting. When I started this thread on barometric pressure, I didn't stop to also consider how the heat/cold affects my pain. While there I often had to go in the A/C to cool off, or jump in the cold pool and I noticed almost an auto. drop in all-over pain. I did notice that my cervical pain increased with the higher temps. and also my fingers/wrists felt rather sore and swollen. So no moving there permanently

I didn't have any problems with my eye pressure while there, even though my dr. gave me meds. to take in case the pressure in the plane cabin got to me, but never had to touch the stuff.

I'm awful sleepy now as I was just so excited to be living "normal" for a week that didn't get much sleep...so, off to bed...and tomorrow the unpacking begins .

Why is is that no matter what you take, even it if's never worn, it smells of "beach"???

One terrific blessing on the way there and back...we got upgraded to first class for free! Was the beginning and end of a great vacation!

Heart Bee You Tea Full

THAT is how I characterize your wondrous vacation Fiona!

Yup, the only thing to do with vacation clothes is donate them and return with empty luggage. Less to carry. Charity is able to help others. Go to TJ Min and purchase more clothing for minimal cost and live life without the unpacking!

Barometric pressure, weather, such do not affect the situation I live. Hurt happens. Gout is interesting, and I am so glad my lower legs are numb as Doc said, lest I really feel its pinch. I pray your eye will be well.

Glad you experienced first class. Cool , movie STARS. Yup, we will see you on the silver screen before you know it.
Uh Huh,
Yup,
Before you know it,
Mark56zzzzzz

Default Welcome back

Sounds like you had a fantastic holiday Fiona. Bet you feel refreshed if somewhat tired.

Good luck with the unpacking and laundry

Jackie
