Barometric Headaches

Photo courtesy NOAA (cold front)

I am not by nature a whiner. Nor am I a sickly person. My parents both have (had) great genes so this is not to my credit.



I do get barometric headaches, though. I used to get them when Shorty and I drove truck. It came in really handy because I could predict, with astonishing accuracy, when we were heading into bad weather. Now that we are stationary, though, they are more of a literal pain.


These headaches are completely tied in to weather fronts. If I never listened to a weather report, I would know when weather was coming. I will be driving along and POW! my head literally feels as though it is going to explode.


I have one of these headaches today.


I got one a few weeks ago when Charlie (my new moniker for lil man) was in the car with me. I made some noise and he asked me what was wrong. I explained and he was amazed.


I was feeling sorry for myself. I am not a fan of pain and these suckers HURT!


Charlie's reaction? "How lucky you are, Grandma. I wish God would give me a gift like that."


It's all in how you look at it.

Oh, I get those too. Especially when Summer starts here, or with any weather change. Those headaches knok me down all day.

Hope your headache goes away soon!

Luckily I haven't suffered a rally bad head for years, but I sympathise because at one time they came every month like clockwork (not weather related) and I had to go to bed.

I just might have felt better if some little person had told me 'I was lucky and it was a gift from God'!!
