Does any MSers have problems with a change in weather? Especially the coming of thunderstorms. Right now my walking is terrible. When the dew point is high I begin to have balance problems. Storms today and possible for Wednesday. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to handle. I just stay inside but there are times I need to go outside.

In the winter, there were a few times when a big snowstorm was coming, that I'd start to feel either sick, or wobbly, or more numb. Not sure if it was the stress of knowing a snowstorm was coming, or a real MS thing that was causing it.
I really do not like snow anymore. I love thunderstorms, but yes, I have noticed that when a big storm (like severe t-storms or tornadoes) is brewing, I'll feel weird in the MS symptoms. Just depends on which symptom is feeling sensitive to the weather/barometric pressure change.

Hi, welcome to the community!
Yes, I also notice a difference, particularly with imbalance and weakness when the weather changes for the worse. I don't notice it as much when the weather clears. I mostly handle it by trying to anticipate problems, and I always use a cane when I'm out and about.

Yes, I notice big differences in my balance and walking when the barometric pressure changes. Also when it storms or is especially humid. I feel like a walking weather vane.

I was feeling ok when I left for the grocery stores, but as I got inside and got rocking, a HUGE storm started to come in. As it grew closer, my stomach turned, my legs wobbled, and i simply couldnt think. I was yelled at outside by a stranger who thought me unable to defend myself till I puked on his shoes! So, yeah...storms seem to affect me. lol ten minutes later it was hailing here.
