Yes! I live in PA and typically am not bothered by the cold. However, we've had the vortex stuff here over this winter, and it brought on some of the worst pain I've had since my accident 3 years ago. (Breathing outdoors literally felt like an ice pick poking my brain and would take hours to go away, even if I immediately went indoors. I've never had that happen before!) Our weather has been up and down and it really plays havoc on me due to the pressure changes. Hope you find some relief soon!
