| Do you ever feel like your head is going to split open | | | | personal barometer in their skulls. During this last |
| or that it is a balloon ready to pop? Does your head | | | | rainstorm, I found out that many people were also |
| ever hurt before a storm? Does it get better once the | | | | having serious headaches. My doctor said that many |
| rain comes? Have you ever noticed that when the | | | | headaches are caused by weather changes, which |
| atmospheric pressure changes that you can feel it? | | | | can also cause migraines. But THAT is for another |
| Our state was like many states due to the water | | | | day! |
| shortage. We just did not have rain for weeks and | | | | Even with the 5 inches of rain we got over the last |
| weeks. I did not have headaches during that time | | | | few weeks, the water tables are still low, so I guess |
| either. We really needed rain because our reservoirs | | | | we can all expect to have more headaches. It also |
| were very low and the situation was getting | | | | means that the cows will be lying around in the |
| desperate. Places that were supposed to hot and dry | | | | pastures and mooing. Now that I have recognized |
| throughout our country were having floods, but not our | | | | some of the symptoms of a rainy headache, I find it |
| place. | | | | interesting to look at other animal's behavior when the |
| Then all of a sudden, I started having headaches again. | | | | storms come. I have dogs and cats become restless |
| The weather was changing and the nights were | | | | and move around, like they are trying to get |
| getting cool. I started feeling like my head was going to | | | | comfortable. While I was lying around pampering my |
| pop when all of a sudden we got rain. About 5 inches | | | | head, my kitty was also sleeping more than usual. |
| feel over a 3 day period and my head hurt the full | | | | I have noticed that birds are not bothered at all by the |
| time. It was like my skull was a barometer and when | | | | rain or storms. They continue to fly around in the rain. |
| the pressure started changing to indicate a storm was | | | | That is pretty curious, too, as you would think it would |
| coming, I could tell. I would know before the weather | | | | be hard to fly when their feathers get wet, but it |
| man would tell us that we were going to get rain. | | | | doesn't seem to bother them. I have even seen |
| My father used to say that when he was a boy he | | | | hummingbirds pick up the number of times they go to |
| could tell when it was going to rain because all the | | | | a feeder, both before a storm and during it. It is |
| cows in the fields would start mooing and just lie down | | | | interesting to realize that when the barometer changes |
| in the pastures. It was always a funny image in my | | | | so many humans are affected by the storm that is |
| mind that they would be affected by a storm that was | | | | approaching. Do you think it would affect everyone the |
| approaching and just lie down and moo. During this last | | | | same when the rain turns to ice or snow? I know it |
| big rain storm, I did not think it was so funny when that | | | | does for me, but it sure feels much better once the |
| was all I wanted to do, too. | | | | rain stops. |
| It is pretty amazing that many people carry their own | | | | |
