I'd love to hear from you about how weather (warm or cold) affects your physical body.

I'll go first.

-----------

in heat:

☀️ my migraines get worse

☀️ I have more energy

☀️ my memory is better


in cold:

❄️ achy joints

❄️ muscle aches

❄️ brain fog

❄️ fatigue gets worse


What about you?

    I love this since the weather seems to dictate my physical body more than my mood. And when I don't feel good, I'm in a bad mood. :)

    Any transitional season, or abrupt change in temperature really affects me. My digestive issues tend to get worse, I get severe joint and muscle pain, headaches... Fall and spring, or more milder, even states I have more energy, though, an able to concentrate better and experience less brain fog.

    I overheat easily, resulting in nausea, vomitting, more headaches

    In cooler temperatures I usually have more brain fog, insomnia, fatigue and overall stiffness. If I had to pick, though, I'd choose cold temperatures over hot ones anyday

    I haven’t noticed changes based on hot or cold but when the weather changes my body needs time to adjust. I also have digestive issues, headaches and fatigue.

    @ChefAmanda the headaches and fatigue get worse for me in weather transitions too.

  • Both extremes tend to fatigue me more then I often even realize. If it is too hot outside then I feel tired and wanna sleep, but if it is too cold outside I feel tired and wanna sleep. There is a healthy medium where a little chill to the weather with a nice warm sun shining on you seems to be my ideal in which I just physically feel the best, less tired, less sore, and little chance of illness.
