Title: Rehashing the weather related link
Post by sailpappy on Sep 16^th, 2004, 1:21am

;;DI spoke with my Neurologist about this subject Yesterday when I saw him. He told me a very large percentage of his patients have this problem with the Low Pressure systems that are indicitive of big storms here.
Personaly I sure will be glad when storm season is over here for the year! All in all I sure have been lucky with 3 hurricanes coming so close this year, by alrights I should have had my Head explode a month ago! ;;D Pappy

Just Keep Fighting !!

The Low Pressure link would not be a shock. If I am in-cycle, jumping on an airplane always triggers one.

My wife discovered a few years ago that low pressure systems most often trigger a CH. Although Im in the hills of West Virginia, those hurricanes get up this way. I double up on my verapamil when the storm track crosses my area. Ivan just reached the Southern part of the state this morning. I just ate 440mg. of verap, and my hopes are that this will not be Ivan the terrible. I suppose Saturday will tell if this works for me. Its only Thursday, but I have my oxygen and imitrex ready. Hopefully, all I will have to worry about is the flooding.
