Anyone else able to predict the weather?!

Does anyone else ache a lot when the weather is damp?!
I have OA and can usually tell people when it's likely to rain due to my aching joints.
Is this something widely experienced with anyone else, this "feeling it in my bones" kind of thing!!
Just curious as I'm not sure if it is just me, or something other people also experience?

I just read something about that...can't remember the details but I think it was something to do with pressure receptors in the joints. Apparently it's common, can be scientifically explained, and not an old wives' tale.

yes we did post on it while back and most of us can tell the pressure change even happened to me in ibiza did not know it was going to rain but was so full of pain then hour later it threw it down and felt much better after lol

Yup, since I was a child. When I was much younger it was the asthma that would wind itself up, now it's the joints. My mood falls too thanks to the low pressure. I don't need a barometer because I am one. DD

Yes I'm able to predict when it's going to thunder! I get strong headaches/migraines and it doesn't ease until the thunder starts! My late dad had exactly the same thing! I do get the aching in my effected joints when it's going to rain. Maybe I should get a job at the MET office!!

Hi,
Yes I can predict thunder as well.....I get wehat I call a "thunder headache" not a migraine but different to any other kind of headache.
I cant predict when its going to rain but when it does rain or get very cold....I can really feel it my my joints

Love
