Why do my joints hurt more with the weather change?
Why do my joints hurt more with the weather change?
by Dr. Doug Portman
This is a question that has been hypothesized for years by scientists and doctors. There has always been reports of people who have increased joint pain during rainy and cold seasons. It seems people who have a history of injuries or arthritis seem to notice change in seasons more than others. However, rain or snow have very little to do with the joint pain itself. The pain seems to be more associated with the change in barometric pressure that comes with the extreme weather patterns. When a cold front comes through it brings along a low pressure system. This pressure system is what pushes down on the earth’s surface. The less pressure pushing down on us, the more the tissues in our joints can swell and expand. Imagine a balloon being blown up. If something is applying pressure to the balloon as it is being blown up, the balloon will not expand very quickly. If nothing is applying force to that balloon, then the balloon will expand (swell) easier. When we have less pressure on us, this swelling could cause more irritation to an injured or arthritic joint causing increased pain.
Additionally, the pressurized cabin of an airplane, which is used to counteract the increased pressure as we climb into a higher altitude, could also allow our joint tissues to expand. This could be an additional reason people feel more pain getting off airplanes (along with the fact you are stuffed in a shoebox for a chair for several hours).
Many people feel like if they just moved to a warmer climate they would feel better. This may be true for a while, however, studies show that people who live in warm climates still experience the same changes in their bodies from even subtle pressure changes. This pain appears whether we live in Cincinnati or Arizona. Our joints can go through the same aches and pains. To aid in decreasing these symptoms, make sure you take care of injuries when they happen. By doing so, you will help in reducing further exacerbations during changes in barometric pressure in later years.

Community invited to A.S.A.P.’s Mental Health Awareness event next Sunday at Epiphany
Community invited to A.S.A.P.’s Mental Health Awareness event next Sunday at Epiphany
UNDERSTANDING MENTAL ILLNESS
An evening for teengers and adults
After two young people died by suicide, members of Epiphany United Methodist Church formed the Andrew’s Suicide And Prevention (A.S.A.P.) organization, to educate themselves, and the Loveland community. They have decided to follow-up their very successful and well attended, Mental Health Awareness event with a second. It will be next Sunday, January 18 beginning at 6 PM.
The keynote speaker will be Dr. Paul Keck, President and CEO of the Linder Center of Hope, a nonprofit, mental health center located in Mason. His talk will be followed by a panel of local individuals who have been impacted by mental illness who will share their journey and answer questions.
Keck, a researcher in Bipolar Disorder and psychopharmacology, is the author of over 525 scientific papers in leading medical journals and was the 7th most cited scientist in the world published in the fields of psychiatry and psychology over the past decade. He has also contributed over 170 reviews and chapters to major psychiatric textbooks.
Keck is the editor or author of 6 scientific books and serves on the editorial boards of 7 journals. He also served on the American Psychiatric Association’s Workgroup to Develop Practice Guidelines for Treatment of Patients with Bipolar Disorders and on the APA Institute for Research and Education.
Unique to this information night, according to Rev. Lisa Kerwin, is that a parent of an adult with a mental illness will be on the panel and discuss their experience and will be available to answer questions from the public. Kerwin has an adult son who has been treated for mental illness.
An evening for teengers and adults
youth or young adultsKerwin is the Pastor of Care Ministries and Congregational Life at Epiphany, and is helping to
organize the event. She said, “Teens and adults can expect to go home with a little bit of better understanding.” She believes that even one night’s worth of understanding will be helpful, especially to parents of youth or young adults. She said, “That is often when mental illness first shows itself.”
“Attendees will have a better understanding of what mental illness is… what to look for… and what is different about mental illness than just typical bad behavior in teenagers, said Kerwin. “There is a difference, and parents and other teenagers should know what to look out for and of course, how to get help – and where to get help.”
Following the keynote by Dr. Keck, a panel of four who have personal experience with suicide and mental health issues will share their own stories. Then the audience will have a chance to ask their questions of the panel and Dr. Keck.
Joe Lynch, parent of Andrew, who A.S.A.P is named for, will be the moderator. Lynch said, “As at he last time we did one of these events, we will have people there who can answer questions and you can even talk to individuals, one-on-one. It was a very beneficial to have a panel of individuals who have been impacted by mental illness, to share their journey and answer questions.”

Epiphany is located next to the Oasis Golf Club at at 6635 Loveland-Miamiville Road. DIRECTIONS
Below is a “Milestones” interview with Dr. Paul E. Keck, CEO, Lindner Center of HOPE.
At A.S.A.P.’s Mental Health Awareness event you can meet Dr. Keck personally and are invited to ask him your own questions.

Introducing Diane Allen the 2015 Valentine Card designer
Loveland, Ohio – In this LOVELAND MAGAZINE TV video you can meet Diane Allen and hear about how she designed the new 2015 Valentine Card. On Saturday at the Loveland Kroger store, Diane unveiled the card chosen as the official 2015 Loveland Valentine Card. The design contest, sponsored by the Loveland Area Chamber of Commerce goes back to 1989.
Loveland’s Valentine program began in 1971 when the Loveland Businessman’s Club began the tradition of mailing Valentine cards from the Loveland Post office with a special post mark.
Diane’s card can be purchased at the Chamber office, Loveland Kroger, Pizazz Studio, UPS Store, Union Savings Bank, Loveland Health Care Center, Greater Loveland Historical Society Museum, Lebanon Citizen’s National Bank, and The Lodge Retirement Community.
And soon at a special “stamping table” at the Loveland Post Office, if you’d like to personally drop off your Valentine cards for stamping, Chamber volunteers will be set up during the first two weeks in February from 10 AM until 4 PM Monday through Friday and 9 AM until 2 PM on Saturdays.

The doctors found and corrected a significant bowel obstruction which Ethan had developed, and he will continue his recovery in the ICU. – See more at: http://jointeamethan.org/?p=2902#sthash.QibD0LCh.zy4hXL9f.dpufEthan came out of surgery beautifully and is resting comfortably.

Today, Ethan developed abdominal issues and at 9:15 PM Ethan went into Operating Room for exploratory abdominal surgery. – See more at: http://jointeamethan.org/?p=2895#sthash.K0Tq01Lp.8jncsCcj.dpufEthan KadishLoveland, Oh. – The used books, C.D’s and tape donations that artist Nancy Sullivan has collected are for a sale she has organized to help the family of 14 year-old Loveland school student Ethan Kadish, with his medical expenses.
Sullivan said she spoke with Ethan’s “folks” recently and Ethan is going “day by day” in his recovery. “Imagine how difficult it is for a once thriving and promising teen to have everything be a struggle.”
Ethan Kadish was tragically struck by lightning in the summer of 2013. His survival was a blessing, but life has become a difficult journey of recovery for Ethan and everyone who loves him.
Sullivan said, “I felt that if Ethan was aware that friends and neighbors and well-wisher still care, it may give him more energy and hope.”
In June of 2013, at the URJ Goldman Union Camp Institute, a summer camp near Indianapolis, Ethan was teaching a small group of his peers how to play Ultimate Frisbee when a bolt of lightning, out of a clear blue sky struck him to the ground. Everything changed for Ethan in that one moment. He suffered a severe brain injury.
Today, Ethan still has a long road ahead of him. He has an extensive daily schedule of different therapies seven days per week – all designed to help him reestablish basic sensory connections within his brain. Ethan requires nursing care, receives all of his nutrition through a feeding tube, and needs a wheelchair to get around. He is unable to speak or move independently. Costs of his care is more than $100,000 annually.
The books, C.D.’s and tapes that Sullivan is collecting will be available and on sale at Sullivan’s art studio on Saturday, January 10 at the Loveland Artists Studios On Main, 529 Main Street, in Loveland, Ohio from 4 until 9 PM.
Nancy SullivanMartin Schickle will DJ the sale, playing his selection of music that Sullivan describes, “Martin plays the music for the Loveland Art Councils Nisbet art show in September and I have long admired his light and entertaining choices.”
With all the work and donations, Sullivan is hoping a large crowd of generous book lovers show up. She said, on her Facebook page, “So you may browse, perhaps enjoy a glass of wine, maybe coffee, still working on that, and enjoy the music and the company of other book lovers.”
All this and the main thing is you will be helping Help hope Live which is the non profit which aids the Kadish family with Ethan’s medical expenses . If you can’t attend, please send prayers Ethan’s way. Thank you again to all the followers who so generously have donated wonderful books CDS and DVDs. I hope to meet many of you, Saturday.
The Coffee Exchange of Pleasant Ridge has graciously donated coffee & baked goods for our event. This is also the “Open Studio” night at the art gallery so there will be local artists to visit and chat with.
There have been large, generous book donations from Adopt-a-Book and Half Price Books.
Nancy said that many people who cannot attend on Saturday to shop have given her donations to help Ethan. If you cannot attend, Nancy’s address is 529 Main Street, Loveland, Ohio 45140. Or, you can donate directly to “Team Ethan” by clicking on the image below.
