For the longest time, I thought it was just a weird coincidence—I’d wake up aching, and then boom, the weather would change. But after paying more attention, it’s definitely a thing. When the barometric pressure drops, my joints feel stiff, sore, and just overall miserable. Cold, damp days? Forget it. My body feels like it’s staging a protest.
I’ve started prepping for it, though. Keeping warm helps a ton—extra layers, heating pads, even warm baths when things get bad. Gentle movement is a game-changer too, even when I really don’t feel like it. And honestly, just knowing it’s the weather and not something I did makes it easier to deal with. Still frustrating, but at least I’m not alone in this!
