I agree. With all this rain, and humidity it has not been helpful for the pain and the humidity saps your energy. I have read that July and August is going to be mainly wet. Yeuch.xx
Hi Vivien. The weather affects me, I know when we have rain on the way without looking at the forecast. I will say to family and friends there is rain on the way, they dont believe me until it rains, then they say you were right! When the sun shines it makes it easier to move around (thats how my body works) but when its cold, raining and dull I just want to sleep all the time. Hugs x
Hi sadoldred I'm exactily the sams can tell when the weather is going to change because extra pain in my legs , ankles &hips!Sun helps me in so many ways - could do with some now!
Defo think living in a warmer, sunny land would help but just have to make the best of what we've got here! xxx dottiedog
I live in Louisiana and moving here made a difffrence ,but on the bad rainy days I still hurt,but for the most part I do better. I had a doc in Nebraska once tell me to lay on a tanning bed and I did when the wether got bad I used real high sun protection and covered up with a towel as much as I could but the warmth felt so good and made me feel better, it really was worth it !!! Good luck to you !!! Oh and I have food triggers too, if I eat to much beef or prouducts with nitrates or corn, soy and to much gluten I have worse symptoms I hope it all helps !!!
hi ive been aboard and its amazing just how much better the pain is when im over there.its like a have a new body.

Well I think at least we should all try for a few months a lottery win
I went to Malta this time last year recommended by my specialist and stayed untill nov,the difference in my health was shocking my whole family saw me turn back into being me,swimming in sea,waking up at first light, etc,although not completely cured there was no afternoon naps for hours on end and I was able to play with my little girl.hoping to go back soon as Brighton at bit bleak right now lol.heat thoroughly recommended lol
There is no doubt about it that we seem to feel better in nicer weather. The cold and damp days don't help our symptoms at all. This Summer (if you can call it that here in the UK) has been so cold and wet, my Fibro is much worse than usual. Normally during the Winter I am quite poorly, some days better than others, but some are spent in bed. It's hard to keep on top of my pain levels and fatigue. Whenever there is a warm sunny day I automatically feel better, I am sure psychology plays a part in this. Sunnier warmer days look nicer too! When the birds are singing and the sky is blue and there are lovely colourful flowers out, nothing seems as bad does it. I seriously need a Lottery win now haha!
We go to Menorca twice a year and I always feel so much better while I'm there. I think its a bit of both, the weather and the fact your away from any stress that normal home life brings. We scrimp and scrape so we can go to get the warmth. I just wish we could stay for a few months so at least part of the year I felt well.
