The last 2 days we have had decent weather. Tomorrow is supposed to be about 20 degrees cooler and wet and I can feel it head to toe. It rained for awhile at midnight and the flare started awhile before that . Sometimes there just are not enough heating pads. My hands feel crippled and unusable tonight. My broken ribs are still horrible. What a life. I guess it is time to refocus and remind myself of what I am grateful for .

My STBX came over Sunday and was being an a$$ as usual. I think that hasn't helped my pain. I was so angry after he left - I was in the shower swearing at the air - I guess that is one way to get it out.

Studies have shown that cussing reduces the perception of pain for some people, so hey, shout it out! Showers are great for that:-)

Sorry for your aches, I'm gonna get those probably tomorrow or so when our weather does a flip (or flop?).... Warm cuddles,
Leo

Sorry your not feeling well. I'm feeling the weather here too. Yesterday was such a nice day, and then today such crappy weather to make us feel terrible. Hoping for better weather this weekend.

Warm wishes,
Heather

I still do not know if rain or heat which is a trigger point. Feel better.

The Barometric Pressure plays a huge role on pain. It is horrible.
I think that we can predict the weather better than the weather people.

It never fails for me, if there is rain in the forecast, my knees start screaming. I hope you feel better and keep nasty family away. Let it out!!! ;) ((((hugs)))

So sorry the weather isn't cooperating. Springtime is the worst--one day it's snowing and the next day we're outside in our shorts and sandals. And then it goes back again. And, of course, we have April showers. Yesterday and today I've felt pretty good. It's gotten up to 60 both days and dry. But my knees and back are really starting to hurt so I checked the weather. Yup, rain is on its way for tonight and tomorrow!

I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks for your replies. The rains are coming tomorrow and I am feeling it everywhere. My son and I did a little yard work today - he did the harder stuff - my broken ribs did not like that - it has been 11 weeks now and they just are not getting better.

Saturday was hell for me. My daughters ball team had a car wash bakesale and it was in the 40s damp and windy. Was up at 4 am when the pain in my shins woke me up and then I heard the wind. Somehow I did manage thru the day. Tomorrow is to be another rainy and windy day. I am so ready for the happy medium.
