Pain and barometric pressure. Help!

Barometric pressure change is the worst for me! I have loads of arthritis for 30 years however recently, I began allopurinol for gout arthritis which I’ve had for 20 years, but no one ever recommended the medicine. The medicine made about 85% of my inflammatory arthritis pain better. Turns out it wasn’t the osteoarthritis, but it was the Gowdy arthritis that was overlooked Have your uric acid levels checked by a simple blood test and if they are high, try either tart cherry capsules by ZAZZEE which you can get on Amazon for 20 bucks which is what I started on which made me realize that my inflammatory pain was Gowdy arthritis. Then I asked to be put on the medicine and that made everything even better.. I had really really bad inflammatory reactions from the change in barometric pressure and was told it was my osteoarthritis and was given all these medications that eventually stopped working a very simple thing fixed most of it. Now I only have about 15% really bad arthritis during barometric pressure changes and I can tolerate it better because it’s not all the time. Now that I am older I definitely slow down when the weather is cold. I just feel like I’m all bones with no cushion so I keep the house extra warm and I really over bundle when I go outside. I have relatives who all had arthritis on both sides so there’s no chance I’m going to escape this so I just accept this and have things lined up that I can do that. I love when my body doesn’t cooperate so much. I should probably find a warm weather place like Florida to be in the winter. I live 8 miles from the ocean and 25 years ago. I had to move from 4 miles from the ocean inland to eight and I probably after 25 years need to relocate again more inland. I was shocked one day when I went to the desert in Yuma, Arizona and I had zero pain. I came home to my Oceanside home and put it up for sale and moved a little east that was good for 25 years. I’ve always asked the doctors about barometric pressure and dewpoint, but they don’t seem to know too much. I’m glad this subject was brought up here!

I've been taking allopurinol to control the uric acid level in my blood for a few years now after having gout 3 times. The pain from that is some of the worst I've ever had to deal with, I wouldn't wish it on anybody.
