I am greatly affected by the weather and have been since the onset of my TM. Mostly it is the barometer going up and down that causes me to have extra pain. The humidity completely wipes me out and can bring on a reaction during which my blood pressure soars and I get all itchy and can't stand to be touched by anything. Only sitting up and valium treats the condition. There is a name for it but I can't recall it tonight...hyperdysreflexia...or something like that. It can be quite dangerous. On the other scale when I get too cold hyperthermia sets in and it takes hours under many blankets to warm me up. We had to turn the air conditioning on today because it was so hot and humid outside, but now, in the middle of the night, I am getting too cold and can't wait until Dave gets home in half an hour. Best of luck to you all, Jude "Our present troubles are quite small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us an immeasurably great Glory that will last forever"
