    Ernesto finally came to visit here but it was just some rain. It's not so bad, and I must be the only one that welcomed the cloudy days b/c I've been dealing with a stomach flu with some dizzinness and sensibility to light and the whole week it was really sunny, and it made me feel worse.

    Being from a cold climate where the Winters get to -30 and even more with the windchill factor, I deal with it wearing many layers of clothing, even when it gets too humid when it's raining. Polyester helps keep humidity away and keeps the skin dry and warm, where cotton attracts humidity, if that can be of any help to any of you

      It's been rainy and chilly all day. My rods are frozen and I cannot get warm.
      I live in Florida, I have sweatpants and sweatshirt on, heavy socks, and my heating pad and the ac is off.
      I am freezing!

        Wow, do I feel stupid!!! I never connected how I feel from day to day on the weather. I just assumed I was going through menopause.

        Two weeks ago my husband was asking me what had gotten into me? I had several different projects going at once. Now I feel like crap.

          Hi Shari

          Glad you found this series of posts, now you can explain to your husband.....I posted on this thread last week and live in damp,rainy,NY. I just turned 40 in May but have been weather sensitive for quite a long time. I know I'm dealing with peri-menopause now but the weather pains are definitely related to the surgery stuff. Actually my brother had knee surgery last year to fix a torn ACL ligament and has a lot of pain in yucky weather too... The thought of menopause on top of this is a scary thought Hang in there. Like I say "it just keeps getting better"
