Fybro flare

Anyone else find it a lot worse when it's really damp or raining mines getting worse since original diagnosis 2 1/2 years ago

Oh yes! When I was on holiday last summer I felt like a spring chicken. It was great! Weather definitely has an effect on pain 🐸

So sorry you're suffering. Yes, me too. Did a post I found few days back. Look under my profile (I think) it's really interesting articles reporting a reserch paper I found.

Blessings.

Hi there

I am convinced that the weather has an effect on my Fibro. I've had it for over 30 years and know that the spring and summer months are by far the best for me.

Some of our forum members, have had a holiday abroad, and when they've returned they have said how much the sun had helped their symptoms.

Wishing you calmness and peace

yes i agree cold weather does make it flare up unfortunatly you cant stay indoors all the time but i only go out when i need to sending warm wishes

i agree with others about going somewhere warm im going visit my sister in spain in three weeks and i always feel better when im there, unfortunately cant stay there all the time, although its tempting to move out there like she did

I know it's raining before I get out of bed and its true about feeling it in your bones. Watch a piece of tight cat gut move when exposed to different temperatures & I totally convinced that weather has a big impact on people that have fibromyalgia and any other Arthritic conditions.

When I lived in Spain and always lovely and warm and able to swim in sea I was, without a shadow of a doubt 100 x better.

Don't get me wrong I still had various problems that I had to be treated for but the pain was not constant like it is now.

So yes please transport me back to Spain lol...it could be that my symptoms have worsened with age but before I moved to Spain I was in a lot of pain.

Bring on the sunshine 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

Yes damp cold weather does for me much worse than just cold and dry. Like Janet I know what the weather is like before even undrawing the curtains as the aches and pains are always twice as bad in the damp weather. Lets all pray that Spring won't be delayed this year.x

I am so genuinely sorry that you are suffering and struggling and I have to agree that I find changes in the weather appear to affect my Fibro. I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck.

All my hopes and dreams for you

I saw the same piece as Sorebones. Sadly I couldn't find a clip. It wasn't informative, but told about a survey that's getting underway. It seems there only anecdotal evidence there's a link between pain and weather. Many medics seem to believe the link is real. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one affected by heat as well as cold, and I've wondered if it's low atmospheric pressure as well as or instead of humidity.

Me too. I feel that I have gone into hibernation mode this recently. I cannot seem to get the motivation to go out. My pain levels are so much better when wrapped in a duvet.

Here's to an early Summer.

Oh yes weather is a pain!!

[ukmsmi4]

Yes, same for me too. Damp definitely has the worst effect of any weather pattern on my symptoms. Probably partly why I've been in so much pain these last few months.

My Mum has had RA for years and she has always said that it's sudden changes in weather that makes the difference to her pain. I think that's to do with pressure changes. But for me it seems to be the degree of wetness or dampness that really triggers my symptoms rather than the temperature or just sudden changes.
