We were all griping about the barometric ups and downs with the weather. And we were all feeling a bit fuzzy-headed today. All of us claim better weather-predicting accuracy than the forecasters who have all the credentials and high pay! When I was in Pensacola, FL last November I experienced a tropical storm/depression. I was REALLY fuzzy thinking on that trip. Keep in touch! Barbara Hi, Petria,

It’s a stormy day here and I just got back home from a Brain Aneurysm Support Group meeting. We were all griping about the barometric ups and downs with the weather. And we were all feeling a bit fuzzy-headed today. All of us claim better weather-predicting accuracy than the forecasters who have all the credentials and high pay! When I was in Pensacola, FL last November I experienced a tropical storm/depression. I was REALLY fuzzy thinking on that trip.

Keep in touch!
Barbara

Honestly, I don't know why it took me so long to ask. But I felt extremely relieved to discover that I was not alone. Any swift pressure change, up or down, seems to give all of us fuzzy thinking, "dents," headache and/or fatigue. Once the rise or drop is finished most of ache goes away and fatigue-hangover set in. Everyone is different. For me, low pressure seems to be my worst enemy and creates my largest "dents" and longest-lasting fatigue. What I hate most is canceling plans at the last minute just because the barometric pressure is not to my brain's liking. Do you change your plans or grit through it? I'm curious...

I too experience pain when the weather changes. Especially when the barometric pressure goes up. My surgery was through the groin and neck. I also get very tired after an episode of pain. I never knew there was a website for people like us. It also feels good to know that I'm not alone with this problem, not that I wish this on anybody, but unless you know someone else with this problem and I don't it's nice to know I can talk to others who have aneurysms and how they have dealt with them and the after effects that come with it. Thanks. I have 5 aneurysms, the doctor calls them mirror aneurysms, I have 3 on the right and 2 on the left. I too experience pain when the weather changes.
