I don't know if gloomy stormy weather bothers anyone else but it kills me. Being in Fl and even though doesn't look like the storm is coming here we are getting bands of rain and gloom from it and I tell ya the last two days no matter what I take or do I am miserable ! I will be so glad when hurricane season ends so we will have less of this mess :-)

when ever the humidity gets high here in Michigan I suffer, and I'm suffering now...lots of pain.
I hope yours gets better even though it looks like you have massive bands to deal with...praying for you...

I also live in Florida.  Summers are the worst for me, too.  I keep doing the exercises I told Billy-Girl about on her "Embarrassing" thread and that helps keep me from tightening up into a painful blob.  I keep moving, drink plenty of water, and take my malic acid/magnesium, vitamin D3 and my muscle relaxer religiously.

 

When all else fails, I head for a hot shower.  Ahhhhh.....

Fibromites are the best barometers ever yeah we can detect all sorts of weather fronts coming...quick changes in the atmospheric pressure can do a number on us. Extreme cold or damp and rainy weather can do me in sometimes. I live in Arkansas where the summers can be extremely hot...long periods of time in the high 90's and 100's. We don't get the rain like Florida does, but we get it in the winter when it is cooler and that cold damp weather permenates the muscles and can send you into a flare quickly.

 Gentle stretching throughout the day and taking time for long soaks in the tub helps. Muscle relaxers have helped me too...I take Flexeril when needed.

Hope you find some relief soon yeah

Hugs, Robin :-)

I've found that it doesn't matter if the coming front is low or high. Just the change in barometric pressure triggers a flare. I'm in Virginia and yesterday and today have been brutal. I need like 10 more heating pads. I'm moving the one from area to area and taking as many hot baths as my skin will allow.LOL

At least I feel better that I am not just a complainer lol, sometimes I feel that way.

I kinda know when it is is going to rain I feel bad, and sure enough before the end of the day it rains!

I live in NE GA and I'm feeling the hurricane already. My joints are screaming!
I'm sitting here wishing I had a giant heating pad and dreading the 2 1/2 hour drive to visit my sick sister in the hospital I've got to make in a few hours.

It's time for a tramadol. Ugh!

i also live in Fl. and it is very stressful just
to prepare in case we get a mayor storm.
i just keep on moving and try to forget the pain
i'm in . i hate to take any kind of meds.
i wait until i can't take it anymore.
you all have a blessed Day!

I used to do that, but just hated how I felt and what I was table to do. I don't take meds if I am not hurting though, but since I feel it coming I throw in the towel.
