Rain a problem for you?

It's 9:20 pm and I hope I don't fall asleep before I finish this.

 

We finally had a decent rain; actually a thunderstorm. Unfortunately, I was on the interstate when the worst came through. It was so dark out and the rain so heavy that the white lines weren't visable. Also, bless the statethe road is uneven due to adding lanes, changing lanes etc. Projects here take years. I'm so tired of their orange and white cans They reming me of garbage cans. I finally made it where I had to go just after it had let up. I sat in the car waiting for it to stop more and started to fall asleep. That is what I want to know. DOES RAIN, ESPECIALLY THUNDERSTORMS AFFECT YOUR LEG, ARM AND GENERAL BEING? There is a cerebellar site in England and a man from Scotland had asked if others were bothered. He said that he was going to check with his psysio spelling wrong but therapist to those of us in the states. I said I'd be interested in the answer. Well, the therapist said he didn't know and the man said maybe we figured something out. I had put it in the back of whatever mind I have left and as I was leaving the book stands, lost my balance and sort of staggered toward the book racks. I was able to catch myself before too much damage was done. As I started to walk outside, I saw it was raining and thundering.

 

I've been very unbalanced lately because of working on my feet too long when 2 jobs needed to be done at the same time. I did not get the 2 days in bed I was thinking of, but instead the second day went to the flea market - a large flea market! Before when I went, I only went a short distamce but not Sunday. I should never have left my rollator home. There were planty of empty benches to sit on and I took every opportunity I could to sit for a few minutes.I didn't get to rest on Monday either because I decided to go toa political luncheon to see a woman running for senator. Tues, I had to go out to buy readers because I couldn't find the ones I had and they were getting scratched so it was another trip and then I was asked to check on something at one of the stores. But I am so tired...........however we had the storm. Was it the storm or doing too much? Does it ever happen to you?

 

:Yawn: :uhm: :roflmao:

Phyllis,

I just want to say the whole population of Texas would have given Florida some money to have that rain fall here. We are around 15 days or so at 100 degrees plus with no let up forecasted in central Texas.

 

Brown grass, burned crops, shifting house foundations, water rationing, lakes and rivers at low levels all because we haven't had any rain fall lately.

 

I don't know what effect rain or thunderstorms may have on our bodies.

Phyllis, some people do feel a change in atmospheric pressure, my Mum could always feel a storm coming because it made her feel headachey. It is something to do with the inner ear which can also make you feel off balance. Her solution was lying in a dark room with the blinds drawn and a cool cloth on her forehead and an aspirin or two if the feeling didn't go away.

 

Get as much rest as you can and try to catch up on that energy loss. We need you to stay well and come back here often.

 

When we lived at Narrandera out in the west of our state we had one hot summer when the temp didn't go below 100 degrees day OR night for ten whole days. Most of us felt like a wind up doll after a couple of days of it and many older people finished up in hospital with heat exhaustion. I felt the heat that year and I was nearly 25 years younger then. So just spend as much time as you can in the a/c, drink plenty of fluids and take it easy. :beer: And try not to drive in a thunderstorm if you can possibly get out of it.

I live in Washington state... home of rain. July and august are usually pretty dry. I'm not sure the rains afftect me. I know before if the barometric pressure changed quickly I would sometimes get a migraine.

 

I know if I get tired and overtired my balance an walking are definately affected. Sounds like you have been the everyready bunny and need to catch up on rest and energy.
