Numbers such as 30.04 will be followed by “rising,” “falling,” or “steady.” Typically, when a low pressure front is coming (and they do, all the time) it signals not only a change in the weather, but a drop in the barometric pressure, which is pressure against the Earth’s atmosphere. Remember when Grandma would say, “Rain’s coming, and I can feel it in my joints?” She actually knew this because of what happens to our bodies when the barometric pressure changes. That means that the pressure against your body drops as well, and your joints and areas that are injured can begin to swell. This swelling causes increased inflammation, and we require hormones to deal with this incr...

For me, one of the first symptoms I experienced was a rash, apparently reactive to sun exposure. Since I had a most beloved powder blue Mustang convertible and we also owned a ski boat, that presented a major problem. I have always tanned without incident, rarely even burned from the sun and all of a sudden, my arms, the tops of my thighs if I was wearing a skirt and the top of my head, were all breaking out in a very itchy rash. One of the reasons one of my early diagnosis was lupus was because of the changes in my skin. I tried prescription creams, cortisone creams and Benadryl creams with some success but not complete relief. It took me awhile to figure out I had to wear sunscreen everywhere that would...

Years ago when I posted a question on the old alt.support.diabetes newsgroup about the events leading up to a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis, I heard from several people who said that their blood sugars, which had been marginal before a cortisone treatment, became fully diabetic afterwards. It was only then that I connected my own diabetes diagnosis with the ten day long course of prednisone I'd been given the previous year and and realized that it was only a...
