I was thinking summer would be better than spring, because even though it's hot, at least it's constant. But I forgot about thunderstorms...and we get a lot of them here :( my husband is having a REALLY rough night.

I didn't know thunderstorms were a problem for people with FM. Although that does explain the rough week I'm having. We've had these storms almost every day now for awhile. Not only is my body being negatively affected, my migraines have been giving me trouble too.

I'm beginning to think ANY kind of weather, unless it's 75 with no humidity, gives us problems.

Tender I am with you. 75 and no humidity and I feel pretty good.

I wonder in the air pressure during storms is your husbands problem Ashley.

Right before a storm comes through I get really achy and all the hurting parts step it up another notch. Then after the first part of the storm goes through the pains becomes a little less. Pretty weird on my side of the planet. I have that even with the winter storms.

The change in the Barometric pressure causes a huge change in pain as in more pan. There is a lot of information about it to read about.
Also talk to your Husband's Doctor too. Make a list of questions that you want to ask your Husband's Doctor at his next appt. Do you go with your Husband to his appointments? If not I would recommend that you do. The rain and the thunderstorms and humidity for me are horrible for me and my pain is just horrendous. Everyone is so different tho.
