Curious if others noticed pain when we had the wind today or two weeks ago when it was real bad weather?  
 
I am trying to find correlation to the body pains I am having that seem to be worse during crappy weather.  
 
Jury seems to be out on the internet as to it really effects people.  
 
Hoping to find other to talk with

Every time there is a change in weather, my joints swell, especially my knuckles and knees. Also messes up my sinuses too, and I get really bad sinus pressure/pain and headaches.

Husband has been complaining about knees more than usual last couple of days. Hopefully means we will get moisture.  
 
Father-in-law was in hospital 35 years ago during a full moon and said that was a scary night with it setting the older people off.  
 
During calving season a pressure system will start cows calving.  
 
These are just observations proving nothing but my older sewing machine when a high pressure system was coming through would really affect the tensions and major thread breakages on the machine. Once pressure system moved through machine sewed normal and no adjustments made on machines. When phoning the techs that was usually the first question they would ask was what was the weather doing. Now with a new machine , different tensioners and newer quality threads the weather does not have as big effect. People laugh when I say this but this is the truth.  
 
Mother nature is a fascinating thing.

I have a coworker who just said this, this morning.. her knees act up when bad weather is coming.. also have another coworker who is suffering from a bad migraine. I believe weather does throw things off with our health.

Give a cow or a sheep perfect sunny , dry conditions to have their calf or lambs and they will just sit around sunbathing waiting for a nasty storm during which they give birth.

The weather does sure seem to influence our health. My grandmother and her Old Arthur (arthritis) were the best weather predictors ever lol! She always knew there was rain/snow/stormy a day or two out.  
 
She also used a lot of the folk weather things (leaves turning over, behaviour of the smoke, bird patterns, animal behaviour etc) and was rarely wrong. These were in the days before internet etc were we didn't have easy access to forecasts out on the farm.

anyone else suffering

I used to say that my mother was like a weather vane because she could tell me 2 to 3 days in advance if it was going to rain/snow. I always assumed it was something to do with barometric pressure (though I never thought to look into it).
