yikes! how do you poeple do it?? living with fibro in a cold climate?? i would lose my freakin mind if it didn't kill me already!! you poor thing!

I feel it too... can't win.. It's either too hot or too cold, oh well

Sorry yr feeling badly...Weather hasnt cooled just yet, but soon I am sure.. I think we all get worse in the winter, but it changes at different times all around...Here is still kinda warm, so I am hanging in there...Stay on those heating pads and get out the warm blankets..Hope you get to feeling better.

I look at it in a different way....getting exercise raking leaves and going for walks without getting eaten alive by bugs, sitting outside getting crisp, fresh air, no air conditioning headaches, no sweating and swelling...

Scents of apple pie and pumpkin spice. Bright orange colours to decorate around the house.

Fresh harvest veggies, dill, basil and parsley from the garden stewing in my crock pot.

Wearing my new, favourite cotton sweater. Having a nightly Hot chocolate with son. Curling up on the couch with a fuzzy blanket. Working outside in cooler weather.

It's the dead of winter I hate! Unfortunately, this comes AFTER my favourite season! LOL

I do better when it is i cold - i get too hot and I feel like I am suffercating.. right now my house is at 60 - is that weird?

OMG this weekend it rained all weekend and I hurt allweekend. I know how you feel the prssure can change just a bit and I can tell you when it is going to rain, Hope you feel better soon.

I hurt a day or 2 before the rain - its absolutly crazy! at least I can tell when it rains! Feel better soon!

bluesun!!! wish I was there!

levisgranny I know the feeling! my upper arms are killing and now my low back is saying hellooo

hon i am right there with you... the pain is awful and only going to get worse,,, i have found the ice packs, warm baths and biofreeze help the most and the the heating pad and electric blanket at night..... it is awful my thoughts and prayers are with you.. and i live in va i couldn't live where you live... come on down in a little bit better temps... lol catz

yes I can relate hun.. Im kinda in the same spot living in uppper mi.. the weather did a 180.. and hit me like a brick... I still did hurt alot in the summer too.. but seems im alot more stiffer now with the colder weather coming in.. most of all is keeping my muscles warm... think its going to be a bad winter here from what I have heard.. oh boy.. so have to start preparing.. hugs hun.. keep warm!!!..:)

yeah, the east coast ocean dampness is setting in..and i ache like a mouthfull of rotten teeth. But it looks pretty out there..lol

Cold weather makes my fibro a lot worse. I don't like it now and in another month I will really hate it.

I live in the DC area and I am feeling it too. I can't imagine living anywhere colder than this! I have to admit it is a beautiful time of year though, too bad it causes so much pain. Hope everyone can get some relief soon.

I am in Northern Mi as well as Trish and we have had our fall come in and although it is beautiful I can feel it... My shoulders blades are killing me, to be more exact between my shoulder blades is burning me. I feel like 2 trucks have hit me at the end of a work day.

I have terrible pain with extreme weather. Whether it is extreme hot or I can have major problems with the knees with extreme cold. I can add clothes to warm up, but when it is too hot out, cannot get too much relief.
Unless I can get to a air conditioner and/or fan before pain starts. I have also used Therma Care heat wraps for the knees, bec when it is too cold, my arthritis kicks into full gear. Wal-mart carries them.
