Barometric pressure should be a weather warning for us

Alex
Regular weather forecasts warn about wind, rain, heat, cold. But nobody warns about barometric pressure drops, which literally put millions of us in bed. I wish weather apps had a "chronic pain alert" for rapid pressure changes. A 10 millibar drop overnight can wreck me harder than a blizzard.

100% agree. I have RA and I can literally feel a storm coming before it shows up on radar. My knees are more accurate than the weather channel.

This is literally why Felt That exists. When I started building this it was because I was tired of the weather forecast telling me it would be "partly cloudy and 72" when my body was screaming from a pressure drop. Our pain is data. It deserves to be forecasted.

My MS fatigue tracks almost perfectly with pressure drops. I thought I was imagining it until I started logging it. Three years of data and the correlation is undeniable.
