this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Regarding the effect of the weather on the body, I've been noticing lately that I often get headaches and non-specific body aches when it's raining/going to rain. That's when barometric pressure drops, right?

I think so, yeah. Did I already post this? I seriously can't remember. The last time I had a weather-induced headache, I finally looked up what the actual mechanism is that causes pain (headache, joint pain) when the weather changes.

Well, when we're having high pressure, it's basically like a consistent all-over pressure on the body, like holding something in. When pressure drops, the body reacts to less pressure by thinking it would be a great idea to try to expand, so sinuses and other tissue apparently are trying to just get the hell OUT of your body.

The pain is coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE.

Same mechanism that causes the bends in divers who come up too fast when they've been down longer/deeper over a certain amount of time. Dissolved gasses come out of solution and want to invade all the crevices of your body. Ouchie.

Art Crawl!!!

We had nuisance snow over the weekend.

Also - my joints are also protesting the weather.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh, good. The bends. That makes sense, and also makes me feel better about downing Advil. It's not all just in my head! Well, it is in my sinuses.

Yeah, I have cysts in my breasts, and low pressure systems mean they start aching. Sadly, I'm rarely in company where when someone says, "My knee's really aching in this weather," I can reply, "Dude, you should feel my tits."

Can I have some ~ma for a friend that is currently very pregnant with twins? The hospital is refusing to take her early for a C-section (she is due to have one in 4 days), and she is worried about going into labor and not being able to get to the hospital in time in the storm. One of the babies is breach, so she has to have a C-section.

So that's why! I was just putting it down to menopause.

Can she maybe just go "visit" the hospital coffee shop for a while? And if there are problems she's already there?

Connie, that sounds like a good idea to me.
