I'm the same, I think I need to live in May forever, Winter is too cold, Summer too hot and anytime too wet. If I win the lottery I'm going to emigrate to Torbay as it is much more mild!

I am the same the changes in the weather really play me up.

I would say so given that the temperature has dipped in Scotland and the wind is a howling gale and I'm in agony!!

definately!!!!!! My specialist said its due to a change in the atmospheric pressure, feel guilty that i used to take the mick out of my mum when she used to say "the weathers going to change, i can feel it in my bones!" The thing is, i do exactly the same now!!!! I know its raining even before i look out of the window!!!!

yeah I find the cold and damp weather worse and I can feel it affect me physically and I hate winter as it affects my mood too but I found the hot sunny days (not that we have many) to be great for pain and mood.

I have now bought a SAD's lamp that I have started using, (not sure if it's helping yet but I will know when the early nights set in and my mood drops) but it is meant to stimulate sun light so improvements in vit D levels should increase if nothing?

I find cold or damp days really affect my joints and muscles. Think we all need to live somewhere that's about a constant 21 -24 degrees " lovely "

Yup I can tell the weather before i get out of bed. Damp and rain .....not good

Same with me hot, cold, humid weather increases the pain, especially cold wind just for 10 mins and I had a flare up for days afterwards.

Here's some info about how the weather can affect Fibromyalgia - please click on the link below -

fibromyalgia-symptoms.org/f...

I personally dread the Winter, the cold makes my symptoms go into overdrive. I feel much better when the sun is shining and the weather is warmer. With the cold, my pain goes through the roof and my CFS/ME fatigue becomes indescribable exhaustion which lasts until late Spring. Hot water bottles, bedsox, thermal blankets make no difference at all other than keeping me warmer.
