For me the answer is a definite yes! I remember when I was 18 I was playing baseball on the empty lot across the street from our home and my sister who was in our house shouted at me from our garage that I had a phone call from my boyfriend at the time. Of course this was not on a cell phone, but on the phone plugged into the wall socket. I was running across the field to go answer the call, when I fell and when I tried to get up I couldn't. I ended up splitting my knee open and almost shattering my knee cap. Evidently I messed up alot in my knee when I fell on that hard ground because I was in a cast all the way up to mid thigh for six weeks. One thing I remembered the Doctor telling me that after it was healed that I was always going to be able to tell when "it was going to rain" because that knee was going to let me know it. But that actually never happened. What has happened though is my body has developed some arthritis (I hope I'm spelling that right) and certain pressure systems that come make my body ache and feel like it is catching the flu. I actually did think I was catching the flu until I started noticing a pattern in changing weather and my body aching so bad. As soon as the pressure systems stablize...so does my body. I bought some Tylenol arthritis formula and I take that for a few days until it passes. Anybody else have problems with the weather affecting your body or parts of it?
Nope,the weather doesn't affect me much. I enjoy being outside in all Seasons....more so, since I retired.
Weather definitely affects me. Rainy weather affects my bad knee and back. Hot weather affects my breathing. Cold weather is just miserable all around. And I once loved being out in the cold and snow.
I hear you @Ike Willis. My allergies get worse every year too and keep me from enjoying the outdoors like I want to. But then I still wake up every morning, aching joins or allergies, etc...and I still count my blessings when I do wake up. Sometimes though, it's not much fun being old.
Well, I don't like extremes in temperature, and never have. However, I must say, I do really hate muggy. humid weather. I most likely live in the wrong area of the country..but when it is bitterly cold in the Northern tier, I am glad to be South of the Mason Dixon line. I don't feel like doing a thing when I am too hot. I can tolerate cold much better as long as it is not extreme. I hate having cold, wet hands! If I lived somewhere where it was sunny and 75 to 80 everyday with low humidity, I think I would be in heaven..Oh and the evenings should be cool enough for a fire.
I was diagnosed with sun poisoning at the age of 25, almost 40 years ago. Yesterday my water well quit working, and I had to go fix it. My grandson, Bobert, was watching me so that maybe he can learn how to fix it next time. I was out in the sun for about 30 minutes. All of the sudden he looked at me and said, "Grams your really badly sunburned." I explained that it wasn't a sunburn, but sun poisoning, which poisons by blood and makes me very sick for several days. I also get migraines from the barometric pressures. I can tell when a storm is coming two to three days before it gets to us. The worse the migraines, the worse the storms seem to be. Weird!
Other than winters, which require such niceties as clothing and heat, Maine's not too brutal. Although we sometimes see temperatures in the hundreds, those days are few and some summers it never gets above eighty degrees (that's Fahrenheit for those of you who are handicapped by the metric system). I moved back to snow country after the age of fifty, when some people would be moving south in retirement, but I don't see anything relating my age to the weather.
I'm truly sorry to hear that you get sun poisioning @Ina I. Wonder and I sure pray you will be spared several days of sickness because you had to go out in the sun and fix your water well. And I pray that water well stays fixed too. Migraines are no picnic either, I used to get them really bad when I was younger but then they went away and although I have things I do have to deal with health wise I am certainly happy not to have migraines added to the mix anymore.
Weather doesn't affect me. I particularly don't like too hot weather at all. I love cool temps. in the lower 70's and high 80's is okay if there is a breeze of at least 10-15 MPH. I love cool and even cold weather best of all. I wish we could have cooler temps. locally on Oahu all the time. Summer can get to the 90's and that's extremely hot for us!
Here's the weather in Millinocket, where I live, and in St. Agatha, where our camp is. Not too overbearing yet.
Awww...you don't have to cry about it Krissttina. It's not going to bother me as I will be inside with the air conditioner.
@Ken Anderson , now that is out and out bragging, but I quess it is fair since we Southern Texian's hardly ever see snow.
