My research showed Florida as the second best state to live in (Hawaii was number one) for those that suffer from barometric migraines. Just curious if there are any of you out there that suffer from them and if moving to The Villages from another state lessened the frequency of them. We are a good number of years away from retirement still but hoping to be a Villager ASAP. Thanks for any info any of you can provide!
