Pain and barometric pressure. Help!

Hello Twallat, Those prescribed drugs must be causing ataxia. Also they damage liver. I use one teaspoon turmeric juice with a pinch of black pepper each morning. That is too small an amount to damage liver. Also sprinkle cayenne pepper on food and all drinks all day. Cayenne does not damage liver, i.e. hepatitis.
.

Yep. I know! The worst! I've "controlled" the flares for 23 years now with a home remedy:
1/4 black cherry juice (knudsen is the one)
I add a tablespoon apple cider, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice -
Fill the rest with soda water, clear soda, water, or whatever to fill a 32-ounce container.
Drink it over 2 hours down. and then drink a lot of water the rest of the day. I've never had a flare since 2004 when I had to go to the hospital for shots of Demerol!
I call it "joint juice." Dumb doctors never said YOU HAVE GOUT. They said if I continued having flares, they'd have to biopsy my joint for gout. They diagnosed me with pseudo-gout. dumb dumbs... all they EVER had to do was check my blood for uric acid levels. Thirty years ago, I suffered from "OA" pain that was gout!

Great information & it’s not a prescribed meds

@twallat10 My ears perked up when you mentioned you are on a liver transplant list at Froedtert in Milwaukee. I am an artist and I have gone to a painting group lead by another artist north of Milwaukee. One the of artists there was a liver transplant surgeon from Milwaukee and perhaps he is your surgeon? I thought it was pretty cool that a surgeon would unwind with a bunch of artists who are all painting and drawing from a live model.

I also wanted to share with you this story about our mentor, Rosemary who has had a liver transplant, and I'm sure you can find her in some of the discussions in the Transplant Group. There are some listed in this story. There may be ongoing followup visits after a transplant and that may be a consideration as to where you decide to live.

Here is another discussion where you may be able to connect with Rosemary.

When the weather changes here in the PNW, I definitely feel it in my knees and hips. Now that we're entering the dark half of the year, my osteoarthritis pain increases considerably, to the point that if it's below 40degrees outside I don't leave the house unless it's necessary. The neuropathy in my feet doesn't like the cold, damp weather that we're going to have for the next 6 months either.

Actually, I had an opportunity to live in Reno, Nevada and Susanville, California which are both at a much higher elevation than I was used to. I noticed that when storms came I had a definite difference between what I was used to. Much lower back and forth with the pain level. I could hardly tell that the storm was even coming.

The neurologist told me Arizona.
My preference is the cold not in as much pain. Every time the barometric pressure changes your pain levels increase. Do not move to Texas we have a joke about the weather being bipolar. One minute it’s a 105 then raining and cool 15 minutes later. The weather constantly changing. I would research areas where the weather is consistent.

I just want to confirm that barometric pressure does effect my neuropathy. Whenever a storm or other low pressure event occurs my pain increases dramatically.

I also note that barometric pressure affects neuropathy and other aspects of my celiac disease. I live in NYC where the weather is very changeable. Yesterday a high of mid 60s but now after an afternoon shower, the temps are going down. As an allergy sufferer this is horrible. Someone at the Arthritis Foundation said Arizona and New Mexico--both dry climates are good for people who have arthritis and autoimmune conditions--but that it is not set in stone that such a move will prove beneficial.

@madmouse43 yes if affects the pain levels.
