I also notice my balance is off ( as if I'm drunk and I dont drink ) , my eyes are twitching and my vision is off. I have most of the fibro symptoms and have for years. I think I start to get a panicked feeling when everything starts to go haywire. Just want to cry !

PJ-
Makes perfect sense to me. I'm now very sensitive to barometric pressure changes. To the point that it can make me nauseous in addition to my pain levels increasing. Also, completely heat intolerant. It is really difficult for other people to understand what they can't see. There is no reason to be embarrassed about it. It is a very common *perk* for people with Fibromyalgia. I hope that you feel better soon. Hugs!

Ditto what was above. When the pressure changes suddenly, I feel like I've been put on a carnival ride, and it wasn't a fun one.

It's not weird at all. We understand! Vent away! :-) Heck, cry too.

I agree, and I have had doctors both agree and disagree with this. We are about to have more rain, it is starting now, and I am back into long johns because all the joints in my legs hurt, ache. Here it is May and the rainy weather that is so glorious for the plants is making me ache and hurt. I even took the banned NSAID the other night. Just couldn't take the pain any longer. Feel how you feel and tell yourself it is okay to feel how you feel. Big hugs to you.

I am sensitive to the weather too. Besides that the pollen count is extremely high in this area and that sets me back.
It's hard to explain all of these quirks to people who don't have fibro.
They'd think we were all nuts, but of course we're not.
I have been so tired lately and in so much pain in so many places!
My knees hurt at night, I have muscle cramps in my legs and I am up and down peeing all night long.
Oh the joys of having fibro.

I can't thank you all enough for your responses ! Your words and understanding brought tears to my eyes. Other non-fibro people don't understand the physical and emotional aspects of this condition.

I appreciate you all and hope you have a pain-free, feel good day ! xo PJ

Like others and you, I too feel the same. Spring / Fall times are my hardest as the weather patterns are just so chaotic.

If this helps at all, there are websites like ( https://weather.com/maps/health/achesandpains ) that offer aches and pains forecasts. It's more for those who have arthritis, but it helps me plan out when I'm going to be tied down with aching limbs.

But, above all, I have learned not to share with others what I experience unless they approach me. For my Hubs, he's so wonderful, he can see the pain in me and just kinda sorta yelled with love at me the other night, that when I'm in pain, he is too. That my pain effects him too. And to let him help.
Yet I still need to feel like I'm doing something, making a difference, pulling my weight around here. And he married a stubborn redhead.....so there's that too. LOL.

Learn to lean on those who understand, or your heart becomes crushed by the weight of misunderstandings.
Allow yourself days to recover or days to plan ahead.
I'm still so utterly thankful that I can go to be feeling crippled, yet wake up the next day to maybe feeling stiff/sore. I'm thankful I'm not bedridden, I'm thankful I don't need a wheelchair the rest of my life. So with that I'm thankful that my pain, while it can stop me temporarily, it can not be the end of me.

All you are experiencing is quite normal. Years ago there used to be an area or post on what we do to make it through. Things like meds when recommended, or supplements like Co-q-10, D-ribose, can help with energy/fatigue. Or how how melatonin / valerian root can help with sleep at night...and so much more.

I'm one who can't take many meds as in addition to the heat and barometer changes, I'm sensitive to chemicals too.

If you get some time, there are some good posts here from years ago. I've been online here with DS since 2008. And w/out that knowledge, I wouldn't be where I am today!
