With the recent increase in solar activity I have noticed that there is an increase in inflammation.  Also with the arrival of a 2 day snow storm here I retreated indoors for warmth, which means I have not slept in the grounded Faraday cage for 2 nights now. So,there might be a link between the increased solar activity and my increased inflammation.

With all of the recent increase in solar activity I have noticed static electric discharges are become common.  I wonder if anyone else has noticed increased static electric discharges?

Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material. The charge remains until it is able to move away by means of an electric current or electrical discharge. Static electricity is named in contrast with current electricity, which flows through wires or other conductors and transmits energy.[1]

A static electric charge is created whenever two surfaces contact and separate, and at least one of the surfaces has a high resistance to electrical current (and is therefore an electrical insulator). The effects of static electricity are familiar to most people because people can feel, hear, and even see the spark as the excess charge is neutralized when brought close to a large electrical conductor (for example, a path to ground), or a region with an excess charge of the opposite polarity (positive or negative). The familiar phenomenon of a static shock–more specifically, an electrostatic discharge–is caused by the neutralization of charge.

[Jhanon]

I have not experienced an increase in static electricity or discharges. However, the information you provided on it has caused me to see some sort of deeper interconnection regarding static electricity. I find myself looking back on days when it seemed every other moment I accidentally shocked someone or something. It suddenly seems as though static electricity hasn't gotten enough attention.

[Jhanananda]

Thanks, Jhanon for your feedback.  It could be the reason why I am experiencing more static electricity in my environment than you is the geology here is rich in iron; whereas, it may not be where you are.  Another possibility is altitude may have something to do with the difference.  Sedona is at 4500 feet above sea level.  Perhaps you are much nearer to sea level.

We now have an explanation for why the sun has recently become active again.

[Jhanon]

I'm not educated enough on either the sun or static electricity to add value to your theories, although I do not doubt I should and will be.

However, this thread about relationships between the sun, electromagnetic radiation, and changes in the human being have caused me to realize something.

If I recall accurately, this sun stuff started getting unusual about 4 or 5 days ago. Which is around the time I began to experience unusual heart/blood pressure abnormalities and associated side effects. But I have not made any changes lately, and have watched carefully food, lifestyle, and medicine. Until I get in to the doctor, I will continue to wonder.

[Jhanananda]

There might not be any connection at all between the sun's activity, and your recent "unusual heart/blood pressure abnormalities."  I have just noticed some very odd coincidences between solar activity, and my personal health issues.  So, this thread is more about encouraging people to observe, and note such coincidences.  Perhaps after we accrue sufficient data, then we might be able to make some conclusions.

I understand. I think the reason I don't interact much on this thread in such a way isn't because it's not compelling, but because there are too many personal variables I've yet to eliminate.

There is not much reason to interact on this thread, unless you begin to notice any physical, or emotional, or psychic reaction to the Space Weather.  It just so happens that I have had strange intense jabs of joint pain for decades, which has always seemed electrical in nature, but I had no way to identify the source.  Now that Space Weather reported as it occurs by NOAA I can monitor my joint pain along with Space Weather.  I just so happens that along with the recent increase in Space Weather I have had a significant increase in these sharp jabs of joint pain, and it seems to be related to the K-index emissions.

[Jhanon]

Yesterday, the day before it, and today I've experienced severe stomach pain. I've had stomach pain all my life, but with the introduction of clean eating, MMJ, and the herbal opioid-like pain reliever, I've been fine for most of the last three years.

Eating only fruit is my option when the bad ones come, but even this isn't working today. Because eating is so painful, and none of the doctors, including naturopaths, can figure out how to eliminate it completely--and because I haven't used marijuana for a couple years; I've been wasting away on a few pieces of fruit a day.

Today I had an emotional breakdown, which honestly there was no apparent reason for. The reason the intellect provided wasn't rational. What I think it actually is, is a combination of being starved and in pain.

About an hour ago, this stomach pain returned and is very strong. Interestingly, if i take the medication the doctor gave me for stomach pain, I experience a drunken, disoriented stupor. So I can't take it, either. I've experienced a lot of strange behavior. I even called my doc's nurse and broke down crying on the phone because of the pain.

It's just unusual. So I'm listing it.

Sorry to here about your stomach pains, Jhanon. I wish I could do something to help. I hope that you get better soon. Maybe you can be partially feed intravenously?
