the weather?

When I was 8, I broke my wrist.
Ever since that break, it ACHES so bad when it is going to rain.
I don't even need to check the weather. My wrist does the ache and I know "a storm's a-comin!"
When I got a little older, my fingers decided to join the party. (I've had arthritis since my teens)
Sometimes, it hurts so bad that I can't type or hold much of anything, but usually it's a manageable annoyance.

I'd always heard of old people complaining about their joints and bones, but I'm in my 20's and don't necessarily consider that old unless it benefits me




Do you guys have ancient, angry bones and joints too?
Do you feel the weather/changes in pressure/changes in humidity in them?

p.s.- a storm is a-comin here.

@unicorn: Ouch! Did you do any damage to your foot or knees when you were younger? My husband's knee aches due to playing sports in high school, but it only acts up when he does too much yard work. XD My sister has a ton of autoimmune diseases (lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, reynauds, sjorgens, etc. Seriously, you name it, she's probably got it.) Compared to what she's got going on, a little achy joint is nothin'. Haha!

@glume: Migraines can be so debilitating! I have maybe one a year and don't wish that on ANYONE. How do you handle your migraines?

@saeyra: It counts! When I was pregnant, my doctor told me that she always delivers lots of babies during bad storms due to the changes in barometric pressure. It's crazy what a little weather can do to your body!

So aches warning of changing weather is not storeying? I did not know that.

We’ll carry on

I have Marfan Syndrome (a connective tissue disease) and thanks to that, my joints are messed yp and dislocate easily.
When it’s cold or when I’m tired, they feel so old thag they’re shouting at me to get off of the lawn.

It totally rained overnight and throughout the day today. These aching bones don't lie. XD


@unicorn: You have had an adventurous life so far! You need to keep a careful eye on that little Unicorn Haha. I'm interested in your migraine though! I've never had one that bad before. What do they stick in your back and why the back? (I always worry that people will take my questions in a confrontational way. completely nonconfrontational and completely curious questions. lol)

@saeyra: That's probably EXACTLY what happened! He was like "oh, Heck no! I'm leaving!" The wrist IS my dominant hand, but my fingers don't discriminate. They like to be twins and hurt at the same time. If it gets to be too much, I can take some ibuprofen or something and go to sleep.

@xirin: You're probably right! It's crazy what all can affect the body and how it all affects people differently!

@little crane: I thought it was an Old Wive's Tale too until I started noticing the pattern in my own body.

@onsenmark: Yes! Welcome to the club of the elderly. We'll call ourselves the elders to feel more distinguished. XD

@totalanimefan: Yes'm, my doctor says that more babies are born during storms due to the change in pressure too!

@kiwi: *shakes fist* Darn that Cold! It was absolutely the cold's fault.

@glume: Yikes! I took my covers and pillows into the closet, took some medicine and slept off my last migraine. It was the darkest, quietest place in my house.

@zuzu: Now you are aware! Maybe you'll notice a pattern too. You've gotta let me know your findings. *sends the rain your way*

@tuijp: The Club of the Elderly welcomes you with open arms- maybe not too open if it's raining though. The Club of the Elderly welcomes you with medication and a cane to shake at the other joints and bones that think they're fine! :D (see my response to onsenmark. xD)

@fozzy: "There's a 30% chance it's already raining" XD Mean Girls is one of my favorite movies of all time. How did you manage to break your front tooth 3 times??

@Sabrina: Ouch! It sounds like you are invited to the Elderly club with Onsenmark and Tuijp! Welcome, we've got cookies, but they're probably oatmeal raisin. *shrugs*

@sunny: If it gets REALLY bad, my toes join the party too! Anytime it rains, you have my complete permission to sit down and prop your feet up. If you've got a boss that doesn't like it, tell them to call me! and i won't answer because talking on the phone is scary, especially if it's a stranger on the other end... They'll get in line! XD

@Mousy: saying anything about anyones kid will put them on edge, for the one saying such words.

I don't have bad headaches like that I haven't in years but I know why for some that have had surgery because of there headaches. I have seen several friends, and Family members having bad headaches and migraines and end up having something in there spine to check on the cause of the headache's I've never had it but I know it hurts you cry from it too.
