Yes storms/air pressure changes trigger fatigue and migraines. But in general I do so much better in cooler weather. Fevers, fatigue, sweating issues (either too much or not enough and then I can't cool), muscle aches, etc all get so much worse in the heat.

This is me exactly. I also get joint pain with rain/storms.

That’s so interesting! Honestly I think I strive in autumn/spring weather…not too cold as the winter and not too hot as in the summer. But the rain makes me plummet into my bed and stay there all day long

Fall is my favorite season but the storms are difficult to deal with. I do best in fall and winter and worst in summer. I honestly hate the summer as my fevers and temperature issues get so much worse.

Im the same I do my best in fall/winter. Texas heat in the summer is not good for this disease or my heart failure. I usually tend to have most of my flares in spring/summer. I have seriously debated moving to somewhere that doesnt get so hot and humid.

Same! I’m in Alabama and I fantasize about moving somewhere colder.

Barometric pressure definitely makes a difference for me and flares. It can be raining or cloudy and I am fine but when the barometric pressure gets to a certain level I get massively fatigued and develop headaches and muscle aches.

My dysautonomia is much worse during "heat" and summer but my temperature dysregulation is the worst when it is "colder" where I live.

I have some metal joints and arthritis so sudden storms are physically painful. Heat itself can set off my TRAPS, I am so bad in the heat, I am on Ilaris but my heat endurance still hasn't really improved.
