With lots of pain in the eyes.

Its because of the pressure drop in the air.

I've always had this problem,

I don't know what causes it but I find that taking less sugar and less salt in my meals, and staying away from edibles containing acid (like cola drinks) makes me feel ok

Me too. you have pressure in your body, muscles and cells that keeps them pumped up against the atmospheric pressure. So when a storm is approaching the atmospheric pressure starts dropping. Problem is, the pressure outside drops faster than the pressure inside of you. You'r e body can't keep up as it tries to balance the pressure drop, so you feel a greater pressure pushing out relative to the low pressure in the air. we get headaches and other things, like pain from the fluid pressure in our joints and muscles.

me too ill be watching for an answer

Justin's answer is the best so far. If you watch the weather channel and pay attention to the pressure readings you will notice what he is talking about. Depending on where you are in the world, the average pressure at seal level is 29.92 inches of mercury. That is the barometric pressure. You'll hear meteorologists talking about the "falling" pressure when a storm is approaching.

We've had numerous storms come through Cleveland, OH, USA in the last few days and since I am a geek and have my own weather station, I have been watching the pressure go up and down like a yo-yo.
