Weather Change Brings BFS Symptoms

[MarioMasher]

Man, talk about clockwork.It went from 105 in Los Angeles last week to about 65 this week. All of a sudden we've switched from extreme summer to autumn. And sure enough, yup, the nasty BFS symptoms come back. This happens every single time the weather changes. I feel like a barometer.Just wanted to share this, because I know people have talked about it happening before. The minute cold weather and cold/flu season hits, everyone's symptoms go haywire. Don't believe me? Just go to the archives and read the posts in January and February of every year. All the posters (even some of the old timers) start freaking out.Why does the weather affect us as strongly as it does?Are we all just cats and dogs now?Can we also predict tornadoes and earthquakes?

Rainy weather makes me worse.Yes, we are like granny from the Beverly Hillbillies. We can feel the weather changes in our bones.-43RichyThe43rd

Rainy weather definitely makes my symptoms worse too.... and also my headaches! So weird... I too get a lot of twitching in between seasons, although things have been pretty mild and consistent in NYC for a while, so I haven't had any intense flair-ups since last spring. I have good days and bad, but the turn of the seasons definitely effects it. Looking forward to fall, my favorite season, but not looking forward to the symptoms i'll be having when the temperatures drop off next month!

I'm sure no one is looking forward to it. But at least we can all b*tch and moan about it together.

My doctor says the cold weather will 100% make it worse. Mine seem to get worse when it rains. Weird I know.

I am the same way. When it's warm & sunny my twitching decreases. When it's colder or rainy they are worse. So strange. I didn't know others experienced this.

Just great! Here I'm thinking gradual improvement is possible and now I guess I've got this to look forward as the weather changes to cold. Mine started in Jan/Feb and I recall feeling a great sense of improvement with the warmer weather.

Weather and PMS make it worse for me. I can't win!

Hysterectomy? No way! My PMS is more miserable for the people in my life than it is for me!
