[selmaS]

well, I did have a randome out of the blue HA on Sunday....hmmmm what day was that, oh yeah the 4th.mmmmmmmmmmmm

[shanmomof3]

Sunday was so bad for me I couldn't even get on here!!! That's bad! I was in bed ALL day with massive HA, neck pain, upper back and shoulder pain..... Hmmm.... I think the DB might be on to something.

[tysgmother]

The last week has been hell emotionally and physically.  A little better today.  but not there yet.  

[n40066]

ditto with tysgm

[neava]

hi there, today i was worse then most days, havent been good for about 2weeks even taken time off work

[selmaS]

Well we have another one coming up...didn't want to forget about this project.

[Shane99]

On the nights of the full moon, I transform into a werewolf and prowl the moors.

[SaratogaNurse]

LOL Shane.

I notice a difference during my period, headaches are bad when I cry, yell, sneeze, yawn, hiccup, stess, etc.  But the full moon?  The only change I've noticed is that I can see better outside at night.  :-)

[selmaS]

Ok post ur aches and pains here...r they increased or different with teh full moon?

[n40066]

oh yeaaaaaahhhhh!  everything from being down in the dumps, to tired, to eyes going wonky to all the normal cm aches and pains.....they have all reared their ugly heads over the past week....and an increase in pressure in my head was the worst.

[lu7997]

it is hard to say i have meds right now helping but the fact that i need them may be an increase.  there was days say week or so ago that I was ok without anything.  if I miss a dose of my meds I can feel the head pressure building up and my eyes want to pop out.


hope everyone else is getting some relief.

[redkim]

No pain yesterday, but boy was I tired.  I could barely stay awake all day and hardly had any energy to move.  Same this morning so far.  I feel sluggish.

[selmaS]

Hi Kim...I was tired all last week...feel better today.....rest of my issues right now come from an allergic reaction to meds

[rod44]

I have also been having trouble with sleep and pain for the past few days but feel good today. It was the same last month…..the days before the full moon were hellish. Hummmm.


Shane, LMAO I cant say I transform into a werewolf BUT if I do I certainly don’t remember it. LAMO

[redkim]

Shane - Every month I transform into a crazy person, but not always around a full moon.

[n40066]

gee, guys, gals and werewolves....i think i see a pattern here!  wonder why the brilliant medical community hasn't taken note of this!

[soccero]

today I came down with a bad caugh wich in turn give me terrible symptoms I dnt no if the full moon has anything to do with it or not
Molly

[selmaS]

Hi Molly...u most likely caught something at the dance....just having surgery ur resistance may be a tad bit lower...don't u start back to school this week??

I hope u feel better soon: )

Re:gee, guys, gals and werewolves

you forgot Leprechauns

I don’t know if the medical or scientific community look at the influence of atmospheric and astrological changes causing symptom changes but there is something in this.

Ray

[n40066]

for once, ya crazy little leprechaun, i do agree!  ....   and sorry i left you out....what was i thinking?!  lol!

[selmaS]

Do we have the right dates...cuz i have a rotten HA today...wasn't bad this AM, but Oh my this afternoon....plus I know someone else isn't feeling well today either....hmmm or this is the after effects ...lol.....

[n40066]

from what i have noticed, it can be anywhere between the 5 days before or after the full moon.   this month it was on the 2nd.  going back to bed again....night all~

[selmaS]

so we or I forgot to keep this updated as to full moon dates...but here were the last ones in '09 and the list for 2010......

I always pay attention to the full moon and mostly because my kids are hyper then usual, my mom works in a nursing home and tells me the patients get so out of control. It's funny I just saw this question because just recently we had a full moon, actually was told it was a blue moon which I don't really know what that means and was telling my husband that i thought i felt worst because of it, he ofcourse looked at me like i was nuts lol.

[selmaS]

A blue moon is the "extra" full moon in years that have thirteen full moons. Most years have twelve full moons which occur approximately monthly, but in addition to those twelve full lunar cycles, each solar calendar year contains an excess of roughly eleven days compared to the lunar year. The extra days accumulate, so every two or three years (7 times in the 19-year Metonic cycle), there is an extra full moon. The extra moon is called a "blue moon." Different definitions place the "extra" moon at different times.

Yeah, many of us find we feel worse several days b4 and after a full moon.......

[selmaS]

Jan 30th Full moon...pay attention to ur pain

[selmaS]

well???no comments on the WOLF moon?

[selmaS]

Feb 28th is the next up coming Full moon...keep track of ur symptoms for the days preceding and after this next moon phase.

[selmaS]

Keep checking to see if u have increased symptoms

[Shane99]

Or maybe film yourself and see if you are a fellow Werewolf. (If so, send me a secret message.)

[selmaS]

u r obsessed...with the wolf rn't u Shane...lol....

[selmaS]

I seem to have increased pain in my shoulder again......posting to compare to the next full moon to see if there is a pattern.

[Spaceystac]

My head hurt when I woke yesterday, for most of the day. It felt like how premenstrual headache usually feels.   My middle upper back is constantly aching. My right knee usually hurts a little here and there usually, but the last week it was hurting every day. And my finger joints hurt, which is unusual.  Unsure if it is moon related or not. I will see if things start to calm over the next week, maybe?   Stacey

[letterchick]

I have to say that Saturday, the 27th was the best feeling day I had in a long time!! Still a little symptomatic but had energy that I have not had!!  It was an enjoyable day!  Will make sure to take note next month!

darlene

[selmaS]

Time to take note again how the moon may affect us.....

[selmaS]

did neone besides myself have increased issues during the full moon?

[stephanie_C]

It was last night right? Cause I was up most the night w/ restless legs and arms, that I hardly ever get. What symptoms did you have?

[selmaS]

yes the 30th....well I woke with pain in what I thought was my lower back but as I walk around I can tell it is my left hip....but for several days prior I was having stabbing ear pain.....

[stephanie_C]

Things that make you go hmmmm...... lol

[selmaS]

exactly y we have this thread going.....

[*Stormy*]

Ok...so it is a full moon...I finally got it together... and yes, I do feel worse. Yesterday, I woke up choking which I haven't done since before surgery. Just generally, the body pain and stuff seems to be increasing again..and for some reason my GERD has really kicked up again as well!! That is really interesting...I am going to have to try and keep monitoring this...

[letterchick]

Not feeling bad just have headaches last few days.  Must be all the beautiful flowers and trees blooming!!  What a glorious Spring we are having!!

darlene

[shanmomof3]

Well, i think the moon effects me a day or 2 before the actual full moon. Saturday was horrible, still bad on sunday, and just kinda yucky. Yesterday and today were much better!
