RE: Does Weather-Related Pain Exist?
Very interesting topic!
In principle, I don't believe in supernatural connections, but rather in scientific ones. In this respect, the studies are very interesting.
I myself have often noticed that I have a bit more of a headache on some days. I have to say that I am more prone to headaches than my wife, for example. When I have more intense headaches, I often tell myself that the weather is changing. But of course I can't determine whether that's actually true. The weather changes all the time, so to speak.
Basically, I also want to look for a reason for the headaches. Since there are no other (detectable) influences, I just blame the weather for the sake of simplicity ;-)
So I agree with your conclusion that our body is a very complex system...
Beyond that, I find something else interesting:
From the above graphs on the tweet rate about headaches (B) or migraines (C), it can be seen that the rate always increases in the middle of the month and decreases around the turn of the month. I find that very astounding! Because it is also quite regular. Do the studies say anything about this?
BTW: It's nice that it has snowed in your region yet :-)
To be honest, I used to think that the weather affected my health. I also often suffer from headaches. I even had an MRI scan, but the doctors found nothing. So the weather was a convenient explanation. But I soon realized that headaches are more related to the sleep mode and the number of hours spent in front of the monitor screen.
I reread the article but couldn't find anything about it. In their findings, the researchers paid more attention to Twitter as a great source of data. They focused on their conclusion that headaches and migraines are not related to the activity of the Sun, without trying to explain other things.
Thank you, we had a wonderful two days, like a real winter with sledges and snowmen. But it rained last night and now there are only traces of snow. Nevertheless, forecasters predict that February will be more like winter. To be honest, for economic reasons I have nothing against the winter that has been until now :)
Yes, I think so too. People like to make external causes responsible first, rather than looking for them in their own person. :-)
Sleeping is very important for the immune system. I have to admit that sometimes I don't sleep sufficiently.
On top of that, there may also be one's own vulnerability.
Very strange. The regularity is very noticeable. I can't believe this hasn't been followed up. But may be, this wasn't die question in the study...
This is exactly what I think! ... at least this year ... ;-)
😆
... ja dann laß uns das doch 'mal mit den Mondphasen vergleichen... ;-))
Ja genau, der Einfluss des Mondes auf das Wohlbefinden steht bei einigen ziemlich weit oben auf der Liste der möglichen Faktoren...
