Headaches?

[Barb]

Does anyone here get headaches when the barometic pressure changes? My son does but then his DR was saying that there are alot of people with hydro that get headaches around full moons. I hadn't heard that one. Anyone experience that?

We live in Florida, I remember when we were having a lot of hurricanes and the pressures where changing that Sam had some sort of symptom. I think he was extra tired. He doesn't complain about headaches too often. If my brain could remember yesterday, maybe I could remember his real symptoms. But anyway, I remember discussing it with my husband that it was probably due to the extreme pressure changes due to the weather. I will look for a pattern when it comes to the full moon. That is interesting.

my husband took my son to the carnaval a couple weeks back, I was really worried about him going on some of the rides, I thought it might affect the pressure in his shunt. My hubby kept saying, dont worry so much. at one point one of the rides scared me, and I couldnt watch. but,nothing happened to my son, he was just full of smiles, and they have been talking about how much fun they had for days now. was I just being over protective, or could these rides effect the pressure?

I don't know about rides. I worried about it when we flew for six hours this summer but he was fine. Those carnival rides make me sick and I don't have a shunt :o

We , again, live in Florida, the land of hurricanes and theme parks.!! Therefore, Sam has been on many rollercoaster and has not been affected. The Dr.'s here say it's okay to ride roller coasters with a shunt!!
They did tell us no scuba diving, sky diving, or bungee cord jumping. I decided to tell all my kids that they have shunts!!

I don't pay much heed to the weather details, so this barometric issue is new to me. But as far as rides, for the most part, in childhood, they would put my shunt out of whack, and I thought that was universal.

But I was at Kennywood in my late 20's. I suffered nausea on one ride, but it abated quickly, with no other shunt systems. Sooo....not sur what to say. I'm not really into that stuff anymore though.

I've only heard rumors about the Harry Potter Park. but I'll keep my ears open and let you know if I hear anything. Have a great day ladies and gents. Happy Thanksgiving.

thanks eng188, so I wasnt completely being over protective with my son. so I guess it is best to be on the watch, with rides. its possible maybe every child reacts differently.
going to keep my eyes open when the weather is bad to see if it affects my son or not...thanks

It is possible that every child reacts differently, however it is also possible that these issues are pretty uiversal to children, but tend to die off in adulthood. Childhood is, for instance, when all the revisions seem to take place.
