Default Feeling better when it rains
I love when it rains. I can think more clearly and don't feel my symptoms as much as feel them when it's sunny. Good thing that I live in Seattle.

How weird am I? My husband jokes that I'm turning into a vampire and we should move to Forks.

Here in Wales we get around 40 inches of rain a year spread over 150 days. Like you I feel so much better even when its just a light drizzle so on average I get some relief every week

LOL, I live in Phoenix where we get a grand total of about 7 inches a year in a "wet" year, so I also enjoy those (infrequent) rainy days...

What Happened: On November 29, 2010, I was walking across the street and was hit by a light rail commuter train. Result was a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures (skull, pelvis, ribs). Total hospital stay was two months, one in ICU followed by an additional month in neuro-rehab. Upon hospital discharge, neurological testing revealed deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition.

Today: Neuropsychological examination five months post-accident indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning, and I returned to work approximately 6 months after the accident. I am grateful to be alive and am looking forward to enjoying the rest of my life.

Maybe the softer light makes a difference. Plus, rain tends to soften the ambient artificial (man made) sounds. Good you don't have Seasonal Affective Disorder.

My in-laws live in Phoenix. And it's a pure torture for me to visit them, we never go during summer, winter only when it's not that hot .
