Alyse: I'm just finding my way around this site so all is new to me. I'm not sure how these @... work. I clicked on each of the @names above but didn't read anything about pain due to weather changes except one person who mentioned something about cold weather in passing. Am I looking for comments these people made about pain due to weather changes or conversations they started?

Hi @cahnny, when we mention a person with @name, then they receive an email notice that they've been mentioned in a post. We use this to bring members into a conversation who we think may have something to contribute. Alyse tagged Bill, Omega and Salena for this very reason. Sometimes we can make a more exact match, sometimes the match isn't exact, but we know they have spoken about a related topic. Luckily members will jump into the conversation without being tagged, like @concernedmtnmom @predictable @slavinray did in this case. For that we are very grateful.

Coincidentally, @johnwburns posted a topic today about seasonal weather changes. In this case he was referring to the incidence of severe bradyarrhythmias. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/seasonal-weather-changes-and-incidence-of-severe-bradyarrhythmias/ but I'd be interested in his thoughts on pain and weather changes.
