Kimbo, me, too, but there seems to be a pool of people (lack of better wording) who believe this happens, especially with arthritis. I have Fibromyalgia and personally believe barometric pressure changes with moving weather fronts, precipitate flares in me.

The human body has 100,000 miles of blood vessels, and almost 40 trillion microbial cells. It is a marvel of complexity and precision, the most complicated machine in existence.
