Having a bad couple of days.....I gotta share the pain....LOL  

Ah, the dreadedChinook. I hate this time of year. My migraines double, and my joints ache from even walking half a mile. luckily, I can manage most of my problems with just sleep and Ibuprophen. I can't imagind what it must be likefor someone who has constant pain and a reaction to low pressure

Oh SageMother I am sorry to hear you are in such pain. I will send some healing thoughts your way.

Oh dear, poor Sage! Mine is worse anytime it's chilly & damp. I had a nerve pain problem in my lower back yesterday. I popped a couple of magnesiums and it did the trick on that pain. It was not extreme like yours and in an area where I could relieve it by lying down and putting my knees up. I know what you mean. Some pain is intolerable without the meds. I hope you get better pretty soon. Does heat help you at all?

The weather affect my pain too. I have been in alot of pain and the prescription meds make me feel really bad. I cant stand it. I too live with cronic pain 24 X 7 and have since 1986. Some days is worse than others. Unless you have delt with this kind of pain, you cannot imagine the affects on your life. You have my sympathy and I do hope you are pain free soon.

I live outside of the Chicago suburbs and it has so windy here for the past month. The weather has been so nasty. Warm one day and cold the next. I have bad sinus problems and when the weather is like this my pain is very bad. I know where you are coming from.

I'm sorry you are having such a bad time. Yes Feb, March and April are the worst months for my Fibro and arthritis. Since mid Feb we've had 2 ice storms, 2 snowstorms and for last 5 days it has been terribly windy. The temperature keeps going up and down drastically along with the barometric pressure. It's been a daily battle just to decide whether I should even get out of bed or not.

Hang in there, spring is on the way :)

Probably for me.
Different reasons though, I have been having back pains for sometime and I think this is the way I sleep. :)

March isn't a easy month for myself although this year I'm planning and hoping for one easier than past ones.

I hope you feel better soon sagemother, Also goodluck with Pdf! If you ever want a free shout out to it let me know. I run several forums with quite a few users and I'm also a member of two writing resources. (This doesn't count my projects myspace pages which have a lot of friends + contacts)

Kudos!

Oh I know how that is believe me. Normally March here in Florida is better weather but not this year. We are having very low temps for us and it is playing havoc on my body. Any barometric pressure changes, highs or lows, causes my head to explode and we get thos almost daily here. It makes live interesting doesn't it? Right now I'm curled up with a blanket, trying to keep any drafts off me (Florida homes are not built for cold at all) and I just took some Tylenol. I wish I had perscription pain meds but considering my allergies I might have a hard time finding one I could take but right now I think I'd deal with the allergies over the pain.

I know what you mean, my wife and I both feel it when a storm is even days away. A few years ago we found this topical called Arnica, look it up on line. You can get it in a cream or a gel, we like the gel, there are also pills. It is herbal and a homeopathic medicine. I found the website here; www.boironusa.com it works!
