Do dreary days make you feel more fatigued?

Just wondering...do any of you feel more fatigued and without ambition on dreary, gray days? I have just started noticing this in myself. Never made a connection to it before, but I definitely see a difference. On gloomy days (like today) I yawn a lot more and feel absolutely no drive to do anything. When the sun comes out, I wouldn't say I have the pep of a teenager, but I certainly have more get up and go.

I have also noticed that there is a difference in how I feel on days when it is not sunny, but also not dark and gloomy. Do you know what I mean? Like-some days you can't see the sun, but the sky is still fairly light. I do alright on those days, too, but on days like today when the sun isn't out and the sky is also really dark, I don't feel like doing a darn thing.

I wonder if this could be related to the Fibro/vitamin D deficiency? Maybe a bit of sun is needed to get us going? Or..maybe this is all in my head??

What do you guys think?

Hey Danielle!!

It sure is a crummy day in our part of the world, today, huh?

Yess yesss yessss... lousy weather just makes me feel lousy. I see that everyone that voted said the same thing.

I do think that a lot of folks with or with out fibro feel like this. I hear some many people say, " good day to stay home and snuggle up with a good book" .. LOL ANYDAY is a good day to stay home and snuggle up with a book.

Hopefully when the crappy weather passes we'll all feel better.

*** sending you sunshine*** ooops, I'd have to HAVE sunshine to send it to ya!!!

:)

Aww.. hope you feel better soon Marlee!!

Hate gloomy days... Also going to pursue the Vitamin D idea. See my doctor soon, thank goodness. Hadn't considered the light deprivation since I live in the midwest, but has occurred to me that we've had more than our usual share of gray days in the past few weeks and months. Sounds logical that could also be affecting me. Thanks for bringing this up!
