Does cold weather make you hurt?

[Shellness]

 You always hear that cold weather makes people hurt, especially if they have any joint issues. Does it seem to effect you? Can you tell from your body when a storm is coming?

 

Where I live theres not much in the way of SEASONS so I am never bothered and no I can't tell when a rain storm is coming.

 I love the smell of rain coming. Its like getting a mile from the coast and smelling the ocean.

Quoting LEK19:

I do notice that my leg that I broke at the age of four does ache a bit more now and then - that may be weather related. It is nothing severe though.

I smell rain coming.

I do have Raynaud's that affects me but it is not always cold-related.

 Minnesota def. gets bone chilling cold. I'm sorry about the RA. My dd has that and its hard to deal with for her sometimes.

Quoting chasingrandbaby:

yes, I live in minnesota and have rheumatoid and this time of year is the worst for flares.

Where I have had surgery also reacts to changing weather

 I have dry skin too. It does get a lot worse when the weather is cold.

Quoting rosebud727:

I don't hurt but I do get the worst dry skin. I have to really load up on the moisturizer.

 sounds like my husband with the pee thing, lol. Wonder why the cold does this?

Quoting queenbee1958:

Amen ! The cold makes me bone cold. I then have to pee a lot . Lol

Quoting Why123:

It isn't so much the temperature that causes my pain as the air pressure.  I can tell when the pressure is changing.

 Fibro hurts a lot during cold and/or damp weather. Old shoulder injury is screaming. My arm is fairly useless and needs a good cortizone shot. Those make me gag.

I just get lazy when the weather gets cold.  I find it hard to get motivated to get out of bed.  But my dogs help me with that - LOL.  They never let me sleep past 5 am. 

My son gets migraines when a storm is approaching.  So I can rely on him for storm warning.

Well I use to live where you live in Florida only way down to the bottom Venice Florida and I never had no problems. BUT now I lived here is IL and YES big change my bones hurt all the time in the cold weather.

I do not, I don't have health insurance, so I just deal with it. Some days is not big deal and others are very difficult.

Quoting Shellness:

 I'm sorry :( I guess Crohns and fibro go hand in hand just like RA and fibro. I would have a hard time without the cymbalta. Do you take anything for it?

Quoting homeskoolmama:

YES, the COLD and wet/cold makes my fibro SCREAM.

We don't get severe winters in Vancouver, but sometimes get days of freezing temperatures in a row, but I don't have any physical problems from it, thankfully.
