Default OT, Weather Pains

Hi

Does anyone else here suffer from "Weather Pains".

I get pain in my arms and legs whenever the atmospheric pressure
changes rapidly, as it has been doing, and also at high/low pressure
extremes.

Don't need a barometer :-(

Try this site:
http://www.syzygyjob.net/
It gets trolled by Felix Tilley and his anti kook squad a lot. It's a
pity rteally as the sprawling site has a lot of genuine posters. There
is no security on there as the page writer believes in the good old days
and anarchic integrity.

Thanks for the suggestion, but i'm not a nut, honestly, I really do
seem to be sensitive to rapid changes in atmospheric pressure.

I have often heard the experession the cold/damp gets into my bones.
Obviously cold/damp cannot get into your bones, but something is going
on.

I was once told by a neurosurgeon that my spinal canal was narrower
than normal, so maybe it is a pressure effect on the nervous system.

Well this is way OT, so i'll just keep quite.

B.Sc, M.Sc etc I'm not a nut or thick, honest :-(

I never accused you of eccentricity. I have a shoulder injury that
reacts to weather inclined to thunder. I have met people with arthritis
who suffer similar problems.

The site is basically genuine but there are no end of self righteous
cranks out there (as well as eccentrics such as myself) whose main
entertainment is to prevent "alternative" discussions. Unfortunately
they have free reign on that site.

I post a lot of stuff about forecasting the weather and even earthquakes
from the phases of the moon. Apart from being accused of trolling here
the sci.geo.earthquakes site has gone all out to put people off me.

There are a lot of lunatics on there and I do mean madmen. Some of them
from the fringes of reality and a lot more from the "establishment," one
or two in respected positions in universities if the headings from their
posts are to be believed*.

*Not necessarily a good idea.

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.

Not personally, but my partner gets a headache when the pressure changes
rapidly.
