I hope all those in the storm path are doing well. I am in Delaware and it is starting to get really nasty here. I was wondering how many people out there are feeling the effects of this and its making thier symptoms worse? I had an MVD three weeks ago and was doing better, but now the pressure is causing tooth pain etc. I just figured I would post this too so if anyone wants to check in or chat because of the storm..I know this one is scaring me and it takes a lot to do that

it is kind of weird my pain was getting better and the last two days it has been bad i never thought of weather but it has made a dramatic change and i am in MI but we r feeling the storm high wind advisory wind is reaching up to 45 mph
I am in Virginia, but more in the middle of the state. We are not getting the worse of the storm, but definitely a lot of wind and rain. I have been getting more shocks today which had gotten better the last few days...not sure if it is related. I have a doctor's appt this afternoon and I am not looking forward to going out. It is also gotten pretty cold today compared to last week. ( i know you northerners would say the 40's is not cold) But we had 80degree weather last week.
My prayers are with all of you who are getting the brunt of the storm!!! My family is on the coast of Virgina so I am thinking about them quite a bit. ( they are not that far from you, crashgirl, they are on the Eastern Shore of VA :)
Take care dear friends, we in the UK are all tracking this storm and thinking of you all. I wish you safety and relief from your extra symptoms.
for all of you in the storm path, be safe and our prayers are with you. I live on the west coast and I am watching it and hoping for the best for all of you.

I am in VA on the coast and I have ben miserable for the past few days. Any barometric change causes massive pain with my TN. (Which is why we have considered moving to AZ.) We have made it through the brunt of the storm for this area. Flooding, some power outages and wind damage is the main effects here. We have made it through fairly unscathed - knock on wood! We still have another 12 hours of rain expected.
I have been in bed most of the day eating painkillers and hoping the weather levels out soon.
For those of you that are in Sandy's path - stay safe and hopefully pain free!
I’m in western Canada watching the updates on t.v Hope everyone is safe…
(( Dana)) hope you are feeling better soon, my head is a barometer too, so I understand… Take care of you!

I live in Virginia and my pain has been greatly intensified over the past week.
I am in NYC and we got slammed. Lots of devastation and friends who lost everything…but I am ok. If anyone on the northeast coast needs a place to crash, we have a sofa bed and the only damage we have is a downed tree you have to hop over to get to our door. Hope everyone is safe.
And yes, I also have been getting more attacks the last two days and didnt even make the connection. Also could be the stress and worry about my family who had damage to their house in CT.
I have had more sinus pain then ever today, and my face feels like someone keeps punching it, I know its the barometric pressure. I too had a few friends that were evacuated and one that lost thier house, I am thankful that I have no damage at all, I was scared last night since I have some really tall trees out back.
Ayoung, NY got slammed I was following on facebook and the news, I feel so bad for those families that lost thier homes in that fire.
Just glad this wasnt worse

This is an odd pattern and perhaps Red will comment. I too have had breakthrough pain for the first time over the past few days building up to an out and out attack late this afternoon. I am in Indianapolis and the weather has been terrible today.
Hope we all get better!
Right now, I'm living in southern NJ because of a house flood prior to the hurricane, and my gosh have these last few days been awful with pain. I've been having crazy amounts of attacks, that seem to be finally wearing down a little. I sat on my floor wednesday night in tears, debating whether or not to go to the hospital because I thought I was gonna lose my sanity. Of course, I decided not to go because I'm so sick of hospital staff looking at you like your crazy when you come in and tell them your face is killing you, plus I had to work the next morning. Quite honestly I'm running on pure adrenaline at this point I think. I lucked out that we never lost electricity at the hotel, but I had the luxury of scaring the crap out of myself trying to drive back and forth to work during the storm(I'm a nurse...and its times like this I sometimes wonder what I was thinking picking an essential personnel position). I'm hoping that now since the storm is over a lot of the stress will release and hopefully the attacks will die down....if not I'm sure I can't keep convincing myself I'm gonna be ok and will land in the ER by weeks end. Just needed to vent a little. Hope everyone else affected by the storm is safe and hopefully this will all get better soon!
Meghan I sure hope its getting better for you, you have enough on your plate...I seem to be getting better now that the storm has passed so hopefully we all will.
You guys got clobbered in that area, it breaks my heart to see all the damage.
I understand where you are coming from as well with people looking at you like you are crazy, I had an ER tell me I looked to good to be in this much pain and therefore I was just there looking for drugs. It makes me crazy to think you are a nurse and get treated like this. I will say, my friend is a nurse and she has been at my side through this whole episode, and she even went to NY with me when I had my MVD, she gave me such comfort, knowing I not only had a friend with me, but someone who knew what to do if something went wrong.
Hope you are feeling better today
