Does anyone else get knocked down when weather changes ? Weather changes cause problems

I'm adding "newbie" to your title, so you'll get more responses.

Hi Hesper:

Yes, I find windy days to be troublesome. I have better days when it is calm, sunny and warm. I have only had a handful of such days for many years. Some days are calm but I seem to get flares of pain in advance of bad weather. I still try to function with the pain but I need many rest breaks. Doctors can't change the weather. Looking forward to other responses. I have not found a way to stop what is happening inside me. Hope I do one day.

Welcome to forum hesper.

Yes, I also have flares when the weather changes. The winter & spring are really bad for me due to living in NE Ohio where the snow & rain cause me lots of pain flares & problems. I take it 1 day at a time.

Weather affects me in many ways. Sunny days set off my lupus and stormy days set off both. :-(

I perfer a nice cool evening with no storms in sight.

Definitely a yes! Especially when the weather cools, I'll usually get a headache and sinus issues.

When the change is extreme (think of seasons changing), my sore muscle issues kick in bigtime. I also have more trouble with muscle spasms and cramping then.

I don't look forward to the Fall season, though it is very pretty. :-)

ETA:  Welcome, hesper!  Sorry you have fibro, but glad you joined us. :-)

Hi, Hesper. Glad to have you on board.

Weather - that's a tough question. Today we had unexpected rainstorms, and I got a migraine....other times, I'll think I'm not affected by the weather....(except that I always feel the cold more than anyone around me...) Another Fibro mystery!

So we definitely hear you and wish you a dry spell

I just mentioned this with my Phycologist. in the summer i go into some very cold buildings, then out into the 100+ degree weather or vise versa- and it freaks the pain out! LOL

And some of my Chronic pain buddies and I joke. We actually say things like "feels like its going to pour tonight" i even joke with the kids.
I had a weird experience meditating While we had a thunder storm with no rain. the pain felt fuzzy like the old cathode ray television sets- then my wife rolled over and touced my shoulder and it was like electricity was flowing..
And the pain gets my thinking all weirded out, I wonder if things like solar storms or flares can be aggravating the pain.

Prayer AND then meditation are my recommendations. The only wrong way to meditate is to not meditate.

Absolutely weather bothers me. As far back as the 1970's I wondered if the rain or storms were part of my problem. I lived in the Midwest then and we had lots of storms which caused all sorts of pain. Now I live in Southern California and we get wind storms and occasional humidity. This bothers me also.

Welcome hesper, you have come to a great place!

Hi, Hesper, and welcome! Oh, yes! We can be the best weatherpeople. LOL I know it's going to rain before our local weatherman does. It seems that barometric pressure affects fibromites and their pain. I don't notice a big difference from going from hot to cool and back again. I live in Florida so I am doing this all of the time. But I much prefer the warmer weather. I lived up north most of my life and my pain was worse.

Be sure to read Fibro 101...the first thread on the forum. There are links to good info about fibro and you will learn a lot there. Good starting links are Symptoms, What Else Could It Be, and A Thorough Explanation of Fibromyalgia. You just might see yourself there.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you better. Don't hesitate to ask questions because we are here to help you. Hope to hear more from you soon.

Welcome hesper this is a great form to keep updated and the people here are great. The weather here in Ky is aweful for me in spring and winter. And now I get migraines that start off in my right eye. feels like someone is trying to tear eye out.

Yes, my pain is also affected by the weather. Rainy, stormy weather makes things worse. For me, when I am having a bad day, it's pretty much a wash out. I hate it. I also live in Florida so it storms a lot here. Good luck to you.
