Eillyre Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Hi all! I'm posting something short for once! It may sound a bit peculiar, but I've noticed that on days when there is less light (cloudy, rainy, etc.) that my fatigue is remarkably worse than on sunny days. I've never had trouble with Seasonal Affect Disorder (sp?) or had trouble with depression on rainy or snowy days -- on the contrary, I love them! Have any of you noticed this or heard about some sort of correlation between fatigue and light cycles? Thanks!Angela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Hi,It might be the atmospheric pressure that is affecting you.Ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baby_boy Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 On bad days i feel more comfortable, its lke the earth is quite. On hot days i feel terrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneEyre9 Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 I agree with Ernie. I often get headaches on cloudy or rainy days. Fronts moving in often have strange effects on the body.Kristen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethansmom Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 I've noticed this myself...my doctor that treated me initially for POTS seemed to think that the barometric pressure has a lot to do with symptoms waxing and waning, just like with people who have arthritis or other chronic conditions.

Eillyre Posted August 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Thanks all! Sounds like I'll have to read up on atmospheric pressure! Angela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DancingLight Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 angela,now THAT sounds like some 'fun' reading! NOT! he-he. maybe i should try that...do you think that would help me sleep?anyway, just wanted to say hi to you really...b/c i feel like i keep 'missing' you on the forum lately. and, i so meant to respond to your post when you got back from mayo ages ago and posted about your improvments...and i never got to it...sooooo....i just wanted to let you know i'm in your corner and i'm cheering for you every step of the way. and i am so glad that you are back on potsplace after being away for awhile. later alligator!emilyp.s. i expect a report written in the 3-step process discussion your findings on atmostpheric pressure and its possible effects on dysautonomia!

Guest 12StringANSGuitar Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Interesting. Please relate these thoughts that I've had a while:For years I used to joke with people as to how I felt much better on snowy days, and day when the barometric pressure was low.Even my thinking is much better(especially if I slept well the prior night).The joke was 'what if they could put barometric pressure in a pill',, I'd feel well, and be a genius(because my thinking was really more focused).In this past year, I had new thoughts with regard to mental illness being triggered by our sensory system being 'off key' or 'out of tune' to the incoming stimuli.Co-jointly, I thought of how a t.v. or radio is effected by a storm(the static effect, etc.).And then I think how we are 'receivers' for incoming data/energy to our senses.I also thought about how reports of micro-wave transmissions and radio tower transmissions, can effect us; even cause brain cancer.So my point is this. What if the bad weather(and barometric pressures), put up a wall, or filter, between your sensory system, and these radio/micro wave transmissions,, and that is why someone with a hyper sensitive system, might be both more susceptible to these outside waves, and would be helped when a storm interferred with those radio/micro waves(especially when there is a very Low Barometric Pressure present).*Interesting to, is the phenomena of Snow. I think its absorption characteristics, soak up all the excess surrounding incoming stimuli, and thats why I feel really best on days like that.I have also wondered whether schizophrenia, and other psyche disorders, could be influenced(magnified, not caused by), by these 'waves', and if someone with this disorder were exposed to the environment of the meteorlogical conditons we are discussing, whether they'd feel better.*Similarly, I wonder if those with a compromised ANS system, actually suffer from a hyper-sensitivity to all outside stimuli.

calypso Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Me too. I have no idea why. Maybe the extra Vitamin D from the sun helps us?Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoGiuliana Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 I have not noticed a connection with cloudy days, BUT I have noticed that I am VERY sensitive to pressure changes. I think that affects me as much as, if not more than, changes in altitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
