I have been suspecting this for a while now and due to some crazy weather in my area, I have confirmed that changes in the barometric pressure worsens my symptoms.

You probably heard how old people can feel rain coming because their joints hurt, right? Well, I had been noticing something similar, except that it feels all over and not just in the joints. So I started to map the feeling with the barometric pressure and sure enough, I found a pattern.

Traveler had warned us about the full moon also having a similar impact on our bodies and now this.

I think that perhaps this is why we feel so bad after we fly. The pressure change during travel probably has a similar effect on us.

Yes, as a teenage athlete I would get major pain in my knees before the rain came.

Also as a teenager, I had varicose veins that ran from my inner ankle up to my inner thight that no one could see but I could feel under the skin. If the weather dipped lower than the 70s I felt freezing cold, and the veins would hurt like crazy. They finally "appeared" slightly through the skin in my late 20s and the doctor removed them.

Now I don't get any of these symptoms when the weather changes. But air travel wipes me out.

I have the same thing when I have Lyme. I never have sat down and mapped it all out like you have, Healing - but it's unmistakable.
