Barometric Pressure Report: Tippecanoe County Fibro, Arthritis, and Chronic Pain Sufferers

Misty Romack

Looks like we are going to be staying on the trend of a roller coaster ride of barometric pressures in the upcoming days. Saturday we will be at the border of feeling good, and not so good. Then, starting Monday, we hit over 30.0inHg and dips in the evening to below that magical sweet spot. Since humidity will be relatively low most of the week....make sure to do most activities in the morning and early afternoon, to remain as comfortable as possible.

Don't forget we have an air quality alert going on in our area for the June 1st and June 2nd, where there are high levels of ozone, that exceed the federal mandate. Limiting outdoor activities to short periods of time are also best.

A meta-analysis by season showed that acute gouty arthritis occurred significantly more frequently in spring than in other seasons. Analysis by month showed an increase in episodes of acute gouty arthritis from March to July, being the highest in July. The trend reversed, and episodes of acute gouty arthritis started decreasing from July to September, being the lowest in September. The change in mean temperature between neighboring days was the only meteorological parameter that was significantly correlated with the number of monthly episodes of acute gouty arthritis." states a study published on PubMed website.

Black Seed Oil: Ancient Elixir to Modern Medicine

A few days ago, I ended up with this lovely sinus migraine. Now remember, my journey is slightly different than most. I am a Fibromyalgia patient with Mast Cell Activation that can make all kinds of things swell and inflame when they are agitated. My ears were feeling clogged, my drainage tubes in my neck hurt, my whole head hurt. Not acetaminophen and sinus worked, not an OTC migraine medication with caffeine worked, nothing. I even took a nap to kick it. Still nothing.

How did we last this long in the role of evolution, if we weren't designed to grow, learn, heal, and adapt?

Unlock Wellness: Folate & B12 for Fibromyalgia

As a fibromyalgia patient with many different comorbidities I want to introduce you to the importance of Folate (Methylfolate) and Cobalamin (Vit B12). Vitamin B12 deficiency is more prevalent in the elderly and can develop as a result of malnutrition, malabsorption, chronic alcoholism, and chronic use of common medications (e.g. metformin, PPI, methotrexate) along with other causes. A wide spectrum of hematological and neuropsychiatric manifestations exist with the most common being Megaloblastic anemia and subacute combined degeneration, respectively. The mechanisms leading to the manifestations specific to these two organ systems are thought to be different. The severity of neuropsychiatric presentation is reported to be inversely proportional to that of hematological presentation, thus making it uncommon for both to be readily apparent simultaneously, " states the PUBMED website.
