RE: Does Weather-Related Pain Exist?
I love the term "meteoropathy". The data is mixed, but I'm inclined to believe there is a correlation between weather and health.
I've lived in very cold climates and my joints suffered more than usual, and the same is true with hot climates and sleeping problems and migraine.
Still, it'd be cool to gather more data. Very interesting topic.
Unfortunately, each individual study does not give a clear picture. More comprehensive work is needed.
For example, my parents claim that on very windy days, when there is a sudden change in atmospheric pressure, they have an exacerbation of hypertension. I tend to think that a healthy person doesn't feel the effects of the weather, but those people who have chronic illnesses are more likely to experience worsening symptoms.
