i had physio this am and my physio was saying that i would be much better of moving to a warmer climate if its possible I do know that heat helps and my worst time is November till April I would appreciate feed back from anyone who lives in a warmer climate on this matter many thanks

I think it makes a difference too. Especially is you can live in a place that doesn't have a lot of barometric pressure shifts. I live in Southeastern NM but I'm moving anyway. I don't particulary like living in the desert. Need trees and water! And a lower altitude, high altitude has really messed with me.

I live on the gulf coast and I do think for me it helps. Even 50 degrees makes me hurt more and I just am miseralble all the time in the cold.
It is humid here but I don't care about that. I just don't want to be cold
In the winter I take hot baths alot just to try to warm up my muscles.
Is moving an option for you? If it is then I would look into it. I definantely know I would be much worse off in cold climates.
We are putting 4 gas heaters in the house we are building (redoing) because I am so cold .
I hope you can't get the information you need to make the best decision for you.

Be careful if you are on Fentynal patches, they put out about 40% more drug in hot temperatures.

I hope the day comes when we can move from Minnesota the cold is horrible for me and I really do so much better in the summer, hmmmm if we get summer that is....

Oh, Bullring, I am so jealous! I would love to move to Spain. Or anywhere in the Mediterranean region. I have friends who are there now scouting around. My husband and I have talked about such a thing when our dogs pass on. Can't bear to part with them and it feels unthinkable to put them on a plane in a cargo hold.
Definitely move if you can!

Take a long vacation to your new locations before you actually pull up and move there. I on the other hand, do better in the colder climate. No, I don't like ice and snow, but at least I feel better physically than I do when the heat of the summer gets to me. I would have thought it would have been the other way around, but for me, the warm climates do me in.
