Day before yesterday it was 70 and sunny here, and today the wind is gusting up to 35 mph and it's down in the 30's with lots of rain/snow. My head/sinues just go nuts when the weather changes.........

How about you?

Same here - also the aches extends to various joints. Mom has it down to almost a science. It affects her about 10 hours before the weather front actually arrives. I just love those 8 hour OTC pain relievers! (Aleve for example.)

Your eyes made something like this?

About me, sometimes but I´ll take some aspirine and try to forget about it!

Yeah, similar situation here in Toronto. This weather just makes me bloody depressed, and I don't like going out.
We've got this slushy rain/snow mix happening, but no freezing rain, thank God!
I also get headaches with a drastic change like this...

I get a migraine in the spring due to sinus cavity damage and my ankle that I shattered hurts like the dickens when a big storm is coming in.

I do, when it's wet and grey I get slower. The sun really affects me. I do much better.

The only changes I really feel are super bummed out when winter comes and I know I'll be losing my tan soon, and ecstatic when beach weather comes back again (like it has been this week - low 80's, sunny, with mild breeze)!!! :insert beach bum smiley here:

Yeah, there are some creaky joints, and they do let me know when the weather is changing.

the main physical issue is that winter makes me gain 20 lbs, lol. i walk a lot so when it's cold i just gain weight. now it's warm and i get to walk again.

i'm thinking of getting a light box for next winter, though. as much as i'm a night person, i apparently need SOME sunlight or i get really stressed and down. the lack of walking also makes it worse.

i used to have problems with the scar tissue in my left foot (bunion surgery and bone graft), but once they took out the pins, all was well.

edit- though, rapid weather change gives me a beautiful pulsing headache.

My body is ok but my mood is not as good when it's too hot or if I see the sun for too many days.
I love cloudy days and I'm more motivated and just happier when it's overcast outside and cooler.

My body definately can predict the weather. I have had several injuries and have arthritis and nerve damage in my back and legs. When it starts getting cold I start to hurt alot worse than normal. I can't take the hot weather either, I turn into a real grouch. So I guess there is no pleasing me.

I'm prone to doing stupid things on my inline skates. As a result, I really buggered up both of my rotator cuffs. Being a male, I refused to go to the doctor, although for my left one, I couldn't lift my arm the next day and most of the next week. Anyhow, whenever there's a drastic weather change, or there's a storm a-brewin', my body lets me know.

Let's see... Well, because I don't sweat as much when it's cold, I go to the bathroom A LOT! Does that count?
