Question:
Of course there is if you have had any basic physical science in school you would know that the moon has drastic effects on the tides. What is our bodies mainly composed of ? Water. I earned a sociology degree in college and on one paper I had to study hospitals and er. During full moons the er is usually packed and police are very busy. It has a very real effect. BTW the next full moon is on the 26th.

Since I am taking a diuretic for high blood pressure I am full of anything BUT water!! The only effect the full moon has on me is that I get dreamy-eyed just looking at it. Anyone for a midnight-moonlit walk in the park? Don’t worry I’m not full of water so I can’t hurt ya…… Able

Let’s forget the Rev. There are far more important things to attend to, don’t you think? We’ve given the guy a lot of air time, which is probably what he was looking for. Bob??? Bob who?

But, considering all those craters, I wouldn’t be surprized if it had post traumatic stress disorder. <just being silly Best Wishes, Arthur

Response:
Dear Arthur: I’ve never heard of a specific corellation between panic attacks and a full moom, but there is anecdotal evidence that the full moom affects the levels of police calls. More violent incidents have been reported during the full moon than at any other time. It’s been reported as a phenomena for years. Alison

If there is a corellation, then I believe it’s most likely to be psychological rather than physical. If you’re very interested in this, search for some research papers on the topic and let us know if you find anything interesting. I think there have been a few psychological and sociological studies along these lines. Best Wishes, Arthur

For hot weather….make sure you are near a "safe" place and make sur eit is cool and with folks who are secure….Secure can meanmany things..to many people..each have their own secure places and people, but DO NOT put yourself in a place where it will be hot for any length of time without knowing where to go for relief in advance. I’m not sure but I think hot and dry is worse than hot and humid but thismay ber only me.

I agree here…Sometimes there "appears" to be something between the moon being full but mos times not….Look closer to colds, flu or allergies…Soemtiems they co-incidentally occur at same times… Colds and Flu type alergies and REALLY exacerabate anxiety. For those folks, try to get your doctor to prescrive Phenergren<? with small codein. It helps very well.. To those who try and drink their way out of these cold related panics…It doesnt work..Makes it worse nad may make you an alcoholic too like I was/am/will be…Try and avoid this one…Codeine in small amounts is harmless….I’ve been there for over 30 years and KNOW!

Thanks for your post on the moon,Rev.Bob,I never take anybodies replies as frivilous,or "nutty".However,the last two months when the moon is either full or getting there are my worst times for pa’s.I was just wondering if there is a connection.
Response:
Does anybody else get more severe pa’s when the moon is full or is it in my
own mind.Or is this just another case of "blame it in the moon?"Sorry if this issue was raised previosuly. I notice that i feel a bit strange at a full moon, (this apparently is scientific) and generally when i feel strange i think something’s wrong with me and that can cause a panic attack. jason.

Andrew, I don’t want to make *light* of the subject, but lunar relationships to PA’s may have everyone checking their horoscopes….. then we’d all be *looney tunes* rather than dealing with a *normal abnormality*?? I’m not putting down your post, and there may be a connection, but I, for one, don’t want to know. It’s tough enough dealing with hot weather. Legit issue anytime you have a question, but I couldn’t resist replying to this, as I was listening to Andy Williams (he’s my hero) singing Moon River, as I was reading the NG. PLEASE, I don’t really listen to Andy Williams. I was a "freak" in the 60’s, I only listen to the Osmonds! YOU’RE NOT ALONE…..EJK

Does anybody else get more severe pa’s when the moon is full or is it in my own mind.Or is this just another case of "blame it in the
moon?"Sorry if this issu I always wondered about that. My major focus of panic is that I am going to go mad, and so I have always worried that I am a lunatic! However I must admit that I have never actually correlated my PA’s to the lunar cycle as I am afraid of what I might find out! Just noticing that there is a full moon around is enough to make me more nervous, but I’m sure it’s psychosomatic. Tom.

: Does anybody else get more severe pa’s when the moon is full : or is it in my own mind.Or is this just another case of "blame : it in the moon?"Sorry if this issue was raised previosuly. Well, I personally love the moon. After all, how can anyone not like that glorious ivory sphere with places like The Sea of Tranquility and The Bay of Rainbows. Alright, maybe I’m just a weird guy that likes astronomy too much, but I really enjoy watching the moon in the sky and find moonlight very romantic. As for the Moon triggering PAs, this is probably more psychological than physical. In folklore, the moon is often used as a symbol for things mysterious. If such mystery or uncertainty bothers you, then the appearance of the moon might bother you as well. Of course, there is also the possibility that the moon might be associated with some early childhood psychological trauma; perhaps a sense of abandonment when waking up alone in a crib on a moonlit night. Though the moon does cause the tides to rise and fall, the influence of the moon’s gravity on individuals is negligable; blood pressure and local weather have a greater effect by far. Likewise, the higher light levels caused by moonlight are often overwhelmed by street lights in metropolitan areas (gosh, you can hardly see the stars at all from the city these days). Generally, I have yet to hear of any confirmed cases of Lycanthropy (people turning into werewolves) during a full moon. If the moon does antagonize your PAs, it is probably a psychological trigger.

are allergic to it, and that could cause life threatening side effects..You don’t know what you’re talking about. I personally took it without a problem for some tooth pain, but about a year later when I took it for some severe headaches I was having, I got pretty sick from it. I’ve seen all the flames thrown at you, and I wasn’t going to join in, until I saw this post. I’m very uncomfortable with the advice you’re trying to give. Also, I saw most of your posts tonight, and I have one question. You say you’re a minister right? Shouldn’t ministers feel proud to be so? You seem to be apologizing an awful lot (and asking us not to hold that against you) for someone who’s as close to religion as you claim. I don’t know if I believe you……. Michelle

I have noticed that I sleep less on full moons. Sometimes when I’m having an exceptionally restless night I’ll look outside and there is a full moon. When I was in high school, I used to get so frustrated and take off at 3 or 4 in the morning for a jog or walk beacuse I was so frustrated by insomnia. Almost every time when that happened the moon was full. I wouldn’t even know the moon was full until I actually went outside or looked out the window, so no, I don’t think its competely psychological. Personally, I think that the moon does have an effect, just as the moon has an effect on the tides in the ocean. I think that people who are extremely sensitive anyways, are also more sensitive to the changes in the moon. This is just my belief, and I’m sure some others don’t agree at all, but I still think its true.
