Guest guest Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Hi , I don't have pain but I can speak from experience on 2 accounts regarding weather and elevations. I have lived all over the USA. The times I have felt THE BEST are when I am living in the dry North or Southwest. (I'm a California Girl through and through, moved away, always came back - lol, you know I love to rock 'n roll with our earthquakes.) I currently live in Southern California (very dry) There is something about the dry weather that makes me feel REALLY good. As for elevations: I lived in Wyoming for a number of years - moving back and forth from sea level in California. The altitude I was at in Laramie and Cheyenne and varied from 6,000 - 7,000 to 10,000 feet. It took me about 3 months each move to get 'acclimated' to living at a higher level; the first time was the hardest. My doc there explained at higher elevations there is less oxygen, and our lungs need to suck the air harder to breathe. Once I adjusted, I had all kinds of energy (clear air does that), then when I moved back to sea level, no one could keep up with me, lol, since I had developed great lung capacity. A rheumatologist I saw for a consult once explained to me that people " feel " weather changes because what they are really experiencing is a most definite change in the Barometric Pressure (that is when the changes from cold to hot, or hot to cold, or storms happen) ~ Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
