Does anyone else know by their aches and pains that it is going to rain?????

This is not an old wives tale. I am the most sceptical of people - well I was until I experienced this phenomenon. I really can feel it in my bones, when the weather is going to turn wet. Has anyone else experienced this?????

You mean your beautiful hands & feet!!! lol! I'd love a hydrotherapy bath right now, but I too digress.

Seriously, what is the actual science or explanation behind Rheumy peps reacting to the rain??? Come on Lyn you must have heard of this ???

Hi Gina, not heard of that one, have you been on the wine today? lol.

No seriously, can't say I've ever noticed.

Did you get a glimpse of the queen this week by any chance?

My 27 year old boss got a wave from Philip!!!! He got stuck on the far side of the city! I thought she was great such stamina for 85 years of age!!! I think she had a great time, looked really happy. I think its 'bygones' now between our two islands:) There was terrible disruption in the city, more cops than citizens& they removed all the bins!!! I walked miles to bin a packet tday! Barrack Obama due on Sunday, think he going to have a meet and greet, more chance of seeing him than Queen. She must think Dublin very empty, we were all kept away :(

ps. No wine, just took MTX & I am serious about rain.. Google it - I am not the only one. LOL!

I call my knee my barometer - it knows when it's going to rain and blooming kills me if I'm out walking in it :( Who'd live in the wettest county in uk and have RA?! x

just teasing think there is some truth.. as i said prefer moderate temp my feet have never made a full recovery from the snow.. now the steroids are making the nails weak, never mind in june have a pedicure booked to make them beautful.. nobbly , wobbly but with varnish and no rough skin..
