Yeah, Hubby calls me a human barometer. A couple months ago we were at his mother's house for a picnic and I suddenly felt terrible - not only in a lot of joint and muscle pain, but I felt like I'd been drugged - groggy and a little dizzy. MIL wanted me to lie down there saying "it might pass," but I just felt so awful I just wanted to be in my own bed as fast as possible. Just as I crawled into my own bed we had one of the worst summer storms - with flooding rains, golfball sized hail, trees down...
Hubby said if I ever felt that bad that quickly again, we should "take cover," or at least check the weather to see if it's safe to be driving.
We joke that one day we're going to be reverse storm-chasers - living in a rv running from the weather changes that drive my fibro and arthritis into overdrive (he experiences it too with his degenerative joint disease, but not quite to the dramatic degree I do).
