Can you feel changes in barometric pressure in your body?


I cannot feel anything in my body change when the barometric pressure changes, but my spouse can for sure. They get chronic pain flare-ups whenever the pressure decreases drastically.

yep, I had/have juvenile arthritis, and I can tell you when the air pressure drops. when it goes up i really can't.. I also live a mile above sealevel, so pretty much most places i travel to are lower altitude and my arthritis is better for a few days. sucks when i come home but atleast im home then.
