Pain with barometric pressure changes

Pain with barometric pressure changes

For those of you who experience neuropathic pain during barometric pressure changes.

Whether it be migraines, fibromyalgia, joint pains.  

Here are some things you can do for relief. 

1. A warm bath with and ice pack on your neck or head for migraines 

2. For migraines; a face mask to darken a room. Silence as much as possible helps too.

3. Keep a diary of events and triggers. There is an app to use for barometric pressure gauging

4. In traditional Chinese medicine, if damp weather makes your pain increase it is believed that you have too much dampness in your body. Some herbal teas to try regularly are dandelion, parsley, nettle. Green tea to some extent 

5 Peppermint oil has been used by some of my chronic migraine sufferers with good results. 

You can use it on the effected area. 

6. Regular exercise to move your lymphatic system

7. Some foods may add to the traditional Chinese concept of dampness in the body. Sugar, dairy, white flour, corn syrup and Salty foods

8. Yoga or stretching of the affected area. Stretching can help move fluids in the areas of pain
