I'm the same, the pain is never bearable, but the winter makes it so much worse. Sending you HUGS to help keep your warm x.

What do you take in meds and do you have any therapies to help you..its sad that in some areas we get left to deal with this awful illness and the other things it brings with it.

Yes managed ok most days during the summer still in pain but with meds etc bearable but now the weather has changed in constant pain at quite a high level. Used to love the Autumn/Winter time but unfortunately no more roll on Spring.x

Honestly, the cold weather makes me worse, hot weather makes me worse, it's at both ends for me. the pain is never brearable and i suffer all the time. really makes me depressed. so i just wanted to say i know what you mean. x

I must say that I prefer Autumn, there is truth in that weather changes affect us, my physio said its to do with changes in air pressure x

Thanks everyone , I guess it’s more readjusting , tweaking the stretches and pain relief, more hot baths and trying to get back to “managing” my winter fibromyalgia 😡

I have been bad with pain and fatigue since it started raining a lot and getting cooler.

All I've wanted to do the last few days is lie on sofa due to bad fatigue.

I was thinking I couldn't be the only fibro groaning as all the symptoms jump back on board and magnify. I think the tension of getting cold can affect us all over. Even my tummy aches are worse😭.

Interesting others feel better now and worse in summer. Reckon we need to be nomads. Follow the weather that's best for us.

Definitely feel the change. When I have to go out first thing and it's freezing, my hands seize up and feel like they are burning. Hey get really stuff and I find it hard to even hold the key to lock the door or hold my kids hands. It's horrible.

I Hate the winter, rain ,snow and cold.I used to be able to stay in the Sun for hours when I was younger, before I had the Fibro, but not now because even the heat makes the pain worse.

But at least in the Summer we can have the Fan on.

I don't have the Central heating on for long in the winter because it just makes my skin go all hot and prickly,so its off and on all day. Are you like that Kim ?.

It's driving me mad. This morning when I got out of bed i was in so much pain, because I was cold. I put the heating on for less than 10 minutes and then the prickly burning started..So i turned it off again.

I really, really, hate the Winter, makes the pain so much worse, and the damp and dull days make me so much more depressed. I have a lot of other medical problems and I know they make things worse. Bùt if i could have just one wish, it wouldn't be to win millions of pounds or have a big house with acres of land. IT WOULD BE TO GET RID OF THIS DISEASE.

JUST HATE,HATE, HATE IT.

It's ruined so many peoples lives.

Where the heck did it come from?.🤔🤔

Love & Hugs you all.

Still the same Kim,well not exactly,

MUCH, MUCH WORSE. Never before have i had pain as bad as this.

I feel like I am going out of my mind. I woke up at 4 am this morning in so much pain that I just wanted to scream. 😰😰

My GPS ARE ABSOLUTELY RUBBISH.

Not like my old ones used to be.

Our best GPS left the Practice last year and the ones we have now just doesn't seem to have a ruddy clue

I am on a 5mg Butrans Patch, 1 every 7th day, and 250mg Pregablin per day They have allowed me 28 Paracetamol tablets per month. It's just not enough to control the pain Or its not the right medication.

Oh i don't know

Yeah I hate the Winter, the cold and the rain. Makes the pains so much worse.

Can anyone reading this, help me out please What kind of medication are you taking for your Fibromyalgia and Rheumatoid Arthritis

I really need help here and i know that I'm not gonna get any off my GPS.

TAKE CARE EVERYONE GJKAS.XX

Throwing a load of Hugs to keep you warm .
