If you’re here, you may be navigating something that goes far beyond the physical body. Explant surgery, mastectomy, or reconstruction can bring up a wide range of experiences. There is the healing of tissue, but also the aspect of emotional and physical trauma after surgery. For many women, the breasts are connected to identity, femininity, and sexuality. When changes happen, especially through surgery, it can feel unfamiliar, vulnerable, and sometimes overwhelming.

Many people notice that their headaches, joint pain, or body tension increase right before a storm. These symptoms are often associated with shifts in barometric pressure, the atmospheric pressure that changes when weather systems move through an area. For individuals who are sensitive to these changes, fluctuations in pressure may affect the body’s fluid systems, connective tissue, and nervous system.
