Default Weather changes & PCS

My PCS fluctuates greatly, as of now I was not able to figure out if there are any variables in my environment (other than the obvious, like sleep and stress) that cause the waves of good and bad days.

I am starting to observe that I have greater symptoms, dizziness and fatigue, on overcast days. Oddly, on rainy days I seem to do better than average...
If there is really a pattern it would help me a little to plan my activities on 'bad' weather days.

It would be good to hear if any of you have similar experiences.

Thanks

I would say that the only real thing that effects me is the cold. But its more
because of stiff bones and things like that. Not PCS.

Default Weather

Hi, I find that hot weather gives me headaches. I far preferred working in a cold office (prior to giving up my job) - clients and other staff always used to tell me that my office was very cold - my brain loves cold. Out walking in the evening or in the winter with a cool breeze on my face is great.

Also my body does not register temperature until I am at extremes - so often my hands and fingers are blue and numb but my brain is happy.

Yesterday we went to see a display of Da Vinci's machines but after 5 minutes I had to leave as the studio was too hot for me - the dizzy/faint washed over me and I had to get outside quicly.

My symptoms worsen when sudden or large changes in atmospheric pressure come through. A large bubble of high pressure on the weather map over my area is often the worst.
I've wondered more than once of the worsening of symptoms is largely due to the effect of pressure on the cerebrospinal fluid.
