Hot humid weather increases pain in joints, body, arthritis,

[arvine]

does anyone else have this happen when humid weather reaches in the 40 s, today it s like that here, and my whole body hurting so much, hard to move around

I have the same problem with high humidity. I wake with everything hurting.

I don't tolerate high heat well either, but I think the physical problems I experience are from stress. I get nauseated and confused, then my heart starts to pound and I panic.

Putting my wrists and the inside of my elbows under cold running water helps for a while.

Well seems can be a combination of things that cause body pain, I di seem little better in high pressure weather,

Although I now live in the desert,I don’t have to worry about humidity anymore. But I always have more arthritic pain when the barometric pressure goes down , which it does here when it’s very windy. Back in the northeast I was getting chronic migraines. The barometric pressure drop would happen during the night,and I would wake up with a pounding headache and within minutes it would start to rain and thunder. There’s definitely a connection. I hope that your pain eases and you can be comfortable. Mine is in full flare from riding with my husband 3 hours, car rides are the worst for me. My sciatica, knees,and neck are aching especially with soft hotel mattress. I am stuck in hotel room,no where to sit besides bed. We have our dog ,Buddy, he and I both have arthritis.

hi, I’m in the UK and the weather isn’t as hot now, but when it is, the neurons in the nerves heat up. I have Peripheral Neuropathy caused by the antibiotic, Ciprofloxacin (a fluoroquinolone) and was informed by my Consultants team, why the excruciating pain in my lower my lower legs and feet feels much worse in the hot weather. I also have arthritis and bulging discs. Best wishes from Isobel xx

hi, I have just read this post and I am wondering if I have this same condition as you ? A couple of years ago I am sorry to say I had alcoholic hepatitis and was prescribed ciprofloxacin. I was discharged with it and my Gastro consultant kept me on. Each 6 mo the she said stay on it etc. I was on it for two years or more. The thing is the day I was discharged I developed a pain in my neck which then started all over my body. It’s terrible. I have now over three years later been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I myself stopped taking that awful drug without telling the doctor. No one questioned why I had been kept in it all the time. My liver is perfectly healthy so I thought (after reading awful things about it) to stop it. They put my fibromyalgia down to trauma as the lady in the next bed died in front of me. But I always wonder if that drug is the true cause ? What do you think ? Angie x

Hi Angie, a lot of people who have been prescribed Cipro (or another fluoroquinolone) have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia! At least you have a diagnosis of some kind which is good! Gosh, 2 years on it is awful. I take it you are in the UK too. Do you have any other things going off in your body, I have peripheral neuropathy and a few other things caused by Cipro. If in the UK, quintox uk is for sufferers, have a look and then ask to join if you think this has happened to you. Sounds to me like it has! You may have other things going on but I don’t want to put things in your mind. If it has happened to you, I’m sorry. I knew after the 4th day of a five day course of Cipro that the pins and needles in my lower legs and feet were caused by Cipro, because it was the only thing I’d taken strong enough to cause it, and after reading the Patient Info leaflet, I was convinced. I’d been prescribed Cipro before, 2 courses for Sinusitis. Always sinusitis! I now have chronic sinusitis. Doctors just don’t want to know, and those that do, can’t help. I had the pains, for me they were like knife blades. Keep in touch. xx Isobel

Hi yes in the uk. I was taking it twice a day but I can’t remember the dose but it was strong. I was very poorly in hospital and had had peritonitis twice so my Gastro wouldn’t take me off it. I remember distinctly it starting the day I got home. I can’t remember if I was on it in hospital it was 2021. Not even my GP questioned how long I was taking it. I just read the patient leaflet one day and nearly fell over when it said about severe joint and muscle pain ! I stopped it then. I was very angry. I had a heart attack the following year and the year after, last year had kidney cancer. This year they found an aortic ascending aneurysm on my kidney scan ! Not had much since getting my liver ship shape! Not I am in consent pain! The rheumatology consultant isn’t aware about the cipro! Do you think I should tell her next time ? X

[Teddy2022 in reply to Defenders]

I have Just checked back and I was on 500g once daily x

[Defenders in reply to Teddy2022]

Yes you should tell her. I was on 500mg twice a day but definitely not for as long as you! Go onto the quintox uk website and have a browse. You may pick up some useful info for your next meeting with your consultant. I’ve informed our Group leader that you may ask to join, but in your dire circumstances at the time, they may not have had an option but to prescribe a fluoroquinolone. By the way, they can cause aortic aneurysm! I don’t want to cause you to have another with this info. BW Isobel xx

Oh my god really!! I was in a bad way but I don’t think I needed it for over two years. I stopped drinking straight away had lots of therapy. I had childhood abuse you see. My liver recovered etc. I will join the site now x
