Low pressure weather can cause all sorts of strange reactions, mostly due to the release of moulds into the air. Your reactions don't surprise me - keep note and see if they happen again in this country when you have a thunderstorm! DD

Hi Val,

Thunder does effect a lot f people I think. Headaches normally. Its odd isn't it? Feels like w should have one just now but that could be fear Like DD said (is it really mould DD?) keep a note of it and see what happens here. Cris xx

Yes, a number of different mould spores are released in low pressure weather. The ones that affect me even now are altenaria, phoma and sporobolomyces. (think I've spelled them right!) DD

Hi, I often find that when their is a thunder storm, I get a migraine. Tree pollen and some of the moulds that are around wooded areas in the autumn, give me heyfever along with certain plants at this time of year. The funny thing is that I never had heyfever until I was in my twenties. Allergies can be strange, like that though, can't they?

I hope you had a really nice holiday.

Love Sue

ooooh, that's interesting. My PA doesn't react to weather - it's crappy all the time (the PA that is) but my mood does. Thank you delboy, I enjoyed reading that. DD

Very interesting everyone...

I am really intrigued. My Mum and Dad hada abarometer and my Mum used to swear that her osteo was affected by pressre.

I am wiiith Sue...

migraines often are asooociated with thuinder or stormy weather.


Just glad it went off Val and didn't ruin the hol

Love

I often wondered about weather changes and a bit of research found this:

Weather-related joint pain is typically seen in patients with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other arthritic conditions. It can affect any load-bearing joint, but is most common in hips, knees, elbows, shoulders and hands. The joints contain sensory nerves called baro-receptors which respond to changes in atmospheric pressure. These receptors especially react when there is low barometric pressure, meaning the atmosphere has gone from dry to moist, like when it is going to rain.

This is really interesting and something I am inclined to agree with. Recently I found that the pain I am usually in reduced dramatically while I was in the French Alps. Hubby and I put it down to air pressure and a dry atmosphere. When we were talking to others about it a chiropractor friend said they were convinced it was only humidity that played a part.

Hey Gicky

didn't rich people used to go to places like that to recuperate from illness?

Hi Toni!

Actually I read something about that the other day...hmm..

However that certainly wasn't the reason I was there!

Thinking about the humidity idea I don't think the chiropractor was right because whenever I go back to Oz I feel just the same as usual despite being in a town that is really hot and dry.

I tell you what, I felt so good for those few days in the mountains I want to live there permanently!

Could it be something to do with reduced air pressure? Mountains are high! DD

Yes, exactly!

I think we are right on this one!

Hi val,
nice to see you back after your hols...I've been awol myself so just catching up on all that's been happening.

Delboy's info was very interesting! I've always known when the weather is about to change 'cause my joints get so sore...but my rheummy said there is no 'scientific 'proof. :shock:

I'll be telling him about this bar ometric research. thanks!
