Anyone else got body parts that forecast weather?
My shoulder was aching like a bastard last night...sure enough I woke up to rain. I dislocated it years ago and now, not always, but if there's enough of a change in the pressure it acts up.

1. Drop in barometric pressure --- disorientation and migraine headache
The drop precedes a storm so it is weather related.

18. I don't get the disorientation, unless it's from pain ...
I get terrible pressure-related headaches.

Didn't really ever used to be much of an issue in southern California, where I grew up, but now living in the mid-Atlantic, spring and summer bring lots of headaches.

2. Yes!
45 years of arthritis made most of my joints a barometer. This year I got foot ulcers and they really scream when a storm is incoming.No need to check the weather. I think where you live makes a difference as well.

6. When the temperature dips below 20 degrees Fahrenheit...
.

.

.
.
.
...my testicles simply refuse to come along with me when I go outside.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
They slip on a comfortable old tea cozy and sit in the overstuffed chair
in front of a crackling fire sipping hot chocolate until I return.
.
.
.
.
.
.

.
.
And they're capable of whining for fucking HOURS if we had run out of
those little marshmallows.

13. My wrists
Both have been broken in the past, though not at the same time.

Also my knees. I was hit by a car crossing the Main St in our "urban" area. Luckily I was not seriously injured but my knees got banged up when I hit the pavement.

They all send out aches once in awhile when heavy moisture is in the vicinity. More so though in winter than summer.

14. Right knee hurting = cold weather on the way
sinuses draining = barometric pressure has dropped.

22. ALL my joints, especially my knees and shoulders
Each has been operated on. It used to just be the ankle the horse fell on, but the ache from that is barely noticeable anymore.

That is the worst part about hurricane season. If there is a system anywhere close to Florida I hurt.
