For me weather doesnt play a big part in my pain as it seems no matter what it is I hurt LOL. But I know so many people where the weather is a huge problem with pain levels.

I hate the med zombie feeling and when I was on regular opiates I could not function because they were to high and I had to think out side of the box and I started to take Suboxone which is used originally for addiction but it is a great pain reliever and I have zero zombie feeling of being over medicated in fact suboxone is stronger then most pain meds out there. There are still alot of studies going on for long term use for chronic pain but so far so good for me.

I am not saying you should switch but I know that trying a different med sometimes is the fit that you need for your personal life style.
I have to function having seven people living with us me and hubby have three kids plus my niece and her 5 year old daughter live with us and I help take care of her while her mom works so I have to get up and get her ready and take her to school. I know where you are coming from and it is hard and I only have to do it for a short period of time throughout the day could not imagine having to do it full time like when my kids were little.

I am definately weather effected. But I find that it is more the CHANGE of weather that gets me not the type of weather itself. Any time the barometer moves, I'm done in....dern those pressure changes!

I just get over a low front moving in and bam, high pressure front moves in, geez! Best advice, hydrate! It actually helps with changes. It also helps with allergies and jet lag.

Guess I am in that box with you...LOL!

I like the cold on my head. The migrainer is the one NOT wearing a toque or hat in a blizzard.

I too am effected by any barometric change. But with my nervepain the cold really seems to send me into orbit. I am not like those how can use ice packs. The cold intensifys the pain.

I live in a area where our winters are mild. But, we still have the four seasons. And I feel the barometer each time it changes. My body is very sensitive to the weather.

It is an interesting Phonomome isn't it.

We're here for you Caleb. Just close your eyes and there we'll be.

Vent away.

Yes, weather is tough, no question. But it's good that you're on the way to acceptance because that helps a lot. It's a tough road and so hilly (well, mountainous sometimes) but at least we all have each other and so many blessings to count and that keeps us going. Hang in there!
Big Hug,
Ama

We are all here for you so no need to feel lonely. And I find complaining to be very cathartic at times along with venting and ranting so no worries on that front. Ever want someone to chat to feel free to message me! I know what you mean by the strong pain med druggy feeling. I had to stop taking codine because of that...also I always got put to sleep from the med too so not conducive to functioning. I hope it doesn't get as bad as you are fearing it will. We are all here with you!

I'm looking out my window right now at the rain & leaves falling off the tree's. Can't stand this time of year. The weather does impact my pain levels. Humidity can do me in so I guess every season brings a challenge.

I commend you for caring enough about your children. Yet I'm wondering if you can take something on the weekends or for those times you need a break when you wife it home?

Too bad you can't find an in between. Something to bring you relief & yet not cause the nasty side effects. I know that can be hard.

I am use to my meds now, rarely do I feel anything. Yet when I have to babysit I get a nervous wreck over my pain levels. God bless those of you with young ones. I so enjoy my nephew & nieces.
I had my almost 4yr old last weekend. Honest to goodness they are so funny. I bought her a Tiara so she could become a princess & here she was looking for a frog to kiss. I'm not kidding.

She knows my daughter has found a frog in the garden box & enjoys watching it. She named it Henry, here she comes asking my daughter if she can kiss Henry. She is looking for her prince.

So funny & so adorable. She also did not want to be left out when my husband was singing to me, he had to hold her hand & sing to her as well. I could go on & on but they can bring a smile to your face can they not? Life, ah to be young again..................

I'm with you as far as the weather. Winter seems so long, I dread all the snow.
Blessings, Sammy
