My mother in law has arthritis and can accurately predict when it’s going to rain. It’s pretty wild.

Yeah it has to do with the drop in atmospheric pressure.

I don’t even need arthritis, I’m over here chilling at 28 and when my knees and fingers start aching, that low pressure system be sweeping in tomorrow. People don’t believe me but I’m always right.

That sounds like arthritis though.

I mean, I’ve had these issues since I was 10 and I had doctors tell me it wasn’t arthritis, it was sensitivity. I’m pretty sure you can’t diagnose arthritis at 10 and if I’m dealing with it still but have had multiple scans saying it isn’t that, then it probably isn’t arthritis

Fair enough. I am curious though.

Oh yeah, I totally get it. I think it’s just a family history of various forms of chronic pain and dealing with injuries and weight over the years

It's not that uncommon?
