Before I even look out of my window, I know there is a change in barometric pressure, a storm front or bad weather. Not only do my sinuses start to swell up, but MS symptoms flare up. The first thing I get is a headache in the back of my head then it goes from there. Does anyone else notice this?

Yes I shake when I am tired or trying to do something requiring dexterity. Annoying because I like to make jewelry. Have had some luck with a TENS device (like Dr.Ho's for massage) in trying to eliminate the shakes by giving stronger signals to arm muscles. Check with a family doctor before attempting, and make sure conductive pads are always well adhered.

@A MyMSTeam Member Yes, my body knows better than the weatherman when the bad weather is going to hit. I get headaches and my eye swell but I had many eye surgeries not related to MS. Seems like the Fall time is when the MS flares more often. Hope you are doing well!

Big desert storm started the ‘rollin in’ process 2 days ago. I have been in a flare for over a week, felt the Storm coming on top of it, now that it’s finally here I am about all but chair and bed ridden. It actually went from 71° the other day to tonight it’s snowing. On the bright side it’s back to being 71° in about a week according to the weather report.
Hooray, hopefully the storm and the flare and all that comes with it will takeoff!
