Rainy day symptoms

Why do I feel worse on rainy days


  1. Thank-you Lori. I will check with my Dr

    1. Hi . That is a good question. Rainy days can have a pretty significant impact on your mental and physical health. Some people find rainy days comforting, but, for others, the the chill and the darkness can be depressing. Rain also brings changes in barometric pressure and in humidity that can worsen swelling in the joints. I broke a bone in my hand a few years ago and it still hurts whenever the humidity is high. Allergies can be worse on rainy days as well. Have you ever talked with your doctor about the impact of rainy days? Your doctor might have some good advice that helps. Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
