Have you felt a difference when the weather changes?

Hi.  Today is a blustery, chilly day.  Last week was humid and sticky.  I feel lousy today-diarhea, a small case of the chills, and nausea.  The last time this happened was about a month ago and the weather changed also.  Any insight on this and any input is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Every time the weather changes I feel like I got hit by a bus! I have found that sleep actually helps a lot though.

Hi.  I have crohn's and ulcerative colitis so it's hard to tell what's acting up.

I notice a tendency to flare up (Crohn's) when the weather changes.  A friend of mine has fibromyalgia and she told me a long time ago she noticed a connection between weather changes and flare ups.

The exact same thing happens to me. I feel awful on bad weather days. Do you have Crohn's or UC?
