Does anybody suffer when the weather changes I live in the South West yesterday was sunny and bright all day. I felt awful, my head hurt I couldn’t make sense of anything. My body hurt terribly I couldn’t relieve the pain, it was impossible to get comfy. Well you know what the list is like it just goes on and on
I woke up this morning feeling like a huge pressure had been lifted off me Outside it is pouring with rain
Just wondered if anyone else has such devastating days with this happens x x

healthunlocked.com/fibromya..., morning it is chucking it down here in Suffolk our heating is on and off never know this in May still, I find when we get warm Spring temperatures that’s suits me as the cold weather aggravates muscles bones. It seems to be for us fibro s constant weather changes seems to aggravate us .ive posted a link if you would like to lock your posts as only our community can see. Well the gardens are certaintly getting watered today. Take care x
It’s a nightmare isn’t it I am doing small jobs then resting today x x x
I live in the SW and had exactly the same. Monday I was fine, Yesterday horrendous. Thought I was going to pass out with head pressure and dizziness. Pain was awful. Woke up this morning feeling ok.
I think the air pressure dropped quite rapidly between Monday & Tuesday, wonder if that was it ?
I quite agree I was told years ago by my doctor that we actually live in a damp bowl and the best thing to do was move This year we are actually doing this and hoping that it helps abit at least x
That’s interesting. I’ve begun to wonder if it was a good idea to live by the sea. I moved in here 5 years ago, was ok for the first 6-9 months then the pain hit big time. At first I thought it was all the physical stuff I’d been doing in the house but realised after a time it wasn’t. I had some signs of fibro years ago but not the constant pain. I’m thinking of selling up next Spring and living further inland.
Hi,I'm in the south west too and have similar sensitivity to the weather-and it's so changeable at the minute that I barely have time to start treating one symptom before it changes and causes another! I'm probably the only person locally who is overjoyed when the forecast is dull and showery rather than hot and sunny-my face when they mention heatwave is priceless! Unfortunately for us one of the things we can't control is the weather and at least it seems to change most days so it keeps someone happy whatever its doing . 🙄😉
I can do dry cold but wet and cold and windy puts me in bed! I live in the north of Scotland and we’ve not had a bad winter! I dread every winter. My plan is to go abroad for a few months in the winter but what with Brexit I don’t think it’s gojng to be possible. 😢
I can sympathise! You're definitely not in the best location for wet,cold and windy, somewhere nice abroad sounds much more pleasant! You never know, the whole Br#@*t mess might be sorted by next winter. Fingers crossed for a bit of better weather at home for you, and I am glad to hear I'm not the only one who shares the bed with the dog! Best wishes. xx
I know some days I don’t even have too open my eyes and I know what the weather is like x x
I’m completely the other way round. Rain and cold and wind puts me in bed feeling dreadful, no pain killers touch it only rest and warmth surrounded by my dogs and cats and fluid. And only rest helps. You can’t rush a fibro flare. You just have to sit it out! X
I agree and we have lost friends as they do not understand that you are incapable of doing anything. I pushed myself once as this particular friend kept going on and on. It resulted in me having a meltdown when I was out. Two days later she sent me a text congratulating me on my performance and said our friendship of twenty years had finished x
You can do without friends like that. I have had to learn to say no to people and sometimes find it difficult but I know how ill I got when I tried to please everyone.
Oh I hear ya! Funnily enough the people who I thought would stand by me during my illness have t and the ones who I thought I wouldnt see again hsvw gone above and beyond. Fibro is just the latest part of my chronic ill health brought on by an accident and ptsd from an emergency 9 hour op.
I used to feel guilty of letting people down by my no shows but that would make y fibro worse. So this start of the year I decided my New Years resolution was going to be not to put myself in any position that I know I can’t manage, and not to keep beating myself up about stuff. Because it bloody hurts emotionally and physically.
I had a massive fall out with a neighbour from hell a few weeks ago! Tried to run my dog down! So I ran his face with my fist!
I got so wound up that I had a massive migraine, was sick to my stomach, and my shoulders both spasmd and my neck! It cost me £90 to get Accupuncture and to get a sports massage to untie them!!! 😂😂🤭 #mybad
Daisey02. I know I shouldn’t laugh but I get where you are coming from it’s a shame we have too pay for the treatment afterwards though. I am of too physio at seven in the morning. I hope they can ease the pain but not holding out much faith xx
Yea I have learnt my lesson with that one. It wasn’t until she had actually done that I then realised what a drain she had been on my energy. So negative and critical about everything x x
We live in the north west but the same applies I can’t physically function in the wet and cold, the room I’m in has to be above 21c or I’m in crippling pain, wearing two layers of clothing under a cover, but if it’s warm I can move about .. hmm might need to move to the desert 🤷♀️
