I suspect you will find wide acceptance of this. I think everyone, at least
at one time, knew someone whose arthritis or old bullet wound played up in
the wrong type of weather.
Reminds me of a weatherglass I once had. Made with an hazey mixture of
homebrew,* it worked in a manner I forget quite how but I could relate
it
to stongly striated clouds.

A weatherglass is a mixture of natural resin such as camphor, alcohol
and water. I think the natural resin is preferrable to manufactured as
it exhibits polarisation. On the other hand in the days of the Admirable
Admiral whose works I read about it in, unnatural camphor would not be
readily available.

I suppose that there is something only partially soluble in the synovial
fluid of some people that behaves in a similar manner to the crystals in
a weatherglass.

Or not, as the case may be.

I had it for months until I drank it. It was OK too. Not that I ever had
much taste when it comes to alcohol.
