Avatar n tn I can only tell you about my own experience. I am a resident of Canada's Yukon Territory. As much as I love the place, the cold is hard on me. I got to spend a short time in Florida the last 2 winters and I found it very agreeable. My husband and I plan to spend 3 months in Florida this winter. I don't know if summer in Florida would be good for me, since really hot weather and high humidity bother me as well.
Avatar f tn I have Raynauds phenomomen, so my hands get very painful when they get cold and because of the rheumatiod arthritis my joints in my hands get red and hot. You know all the doctors always want to put people on antidepressants for Fibro but I've yet to hear that they work at relieving the pain. I know several people like yourself is on something but they still have pain and the numbing and tingling. Have you been offically diagnosed.
7450908 tn?1390996321 I was diagnosed with fibro about 18 years ago. I've been using Lyrica & was using Cymbalta for a while as well. I quit using the antidepressant because it seemed to make the depression worse. I'm on low income & I'm telling this medication is getting so expensive that I have a hard time affording to buy just a months worth at taking one a day. At certain times of the year I have to take more than one a day. Is there a more natural way to deal with fibro?
Avatar f tn cold can make arthritis hurt more, I have fibromyalgia and no matter what the condition is, any change is weather, stress, sickness will affect it. Also fibromyalgia has certain places that hurt more, mostly joints. It probley would be a good idea to see a neurologist.
Avatar n tn I found out I had low thyroid since being here and Ana test positive. I saw a Rhymotologist yesterday and he ran more test and will let me know Thursday. Have any of you had the hot hands and swelling on extremities. I have had Fibro for years, but never these problems. I feel really worn down...so frustrating.
Avatar n tn is changing my antidepressants so my fibro is a lot worse. Stress, changes in the weather and air conditioning are a big hurt for me. I'm on beta blockers and have noticed no diff in symptoms. Good luck,I know it takes a long time to find answers and I found I usually had to on my own. Thinking of you!

606078 tn?1247264553 I want to quit, I am tired of depending on them, tired of going outside to smoke in bad weather, and I am so ready to hear my grand-babies tell me that I smell good, instead of " Granny you smell like cigarettes. " Well no more!! I just had to share this with you all.
1692515 tn?1306270048 I have been told my mother that at 2 years old I put a bobbie pin in an electrical outlet and she had to get a mop to dislodge me. My question is could my fibromyalgia, reoccuring shingles, and electric shock feeling be caused by this and what can be done to stop it.
1830940 tn?1317930900 I'm in New England and find the weather definitely affects my fibromyalgia and my arthritis and nerve pain as well. Some doctors don't believe weather plays a part in pain and others do. I asked my surgeon and he said the two best places to go would be Arizona or Colorado. Apparently the barometric pressure in both those places are supposed to stay on an even keel. I asked about Florida, as I've thought about going there, at least for retirement.

Avatar f tn Hi I'm new to the group, I've just been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and i want to know how do you get it, what brings it on and how is it diagnosed?
428506 tn?1296557399 Hi ! I'm sorry to hear about your possible fibro diagnosis. I can't answer most of your questions, because I don't have fibromyalgia (at least not primary)... but I'm sure our other members will chime in and be able to share their experiences. In my opinion...the best physician for fibro or CFS... is one who knows about these conditions and reads the latest research on these "syndromes".
723959 tn?1314744225 It's one of the worst factors for Fibro people. I live in Seattle. we have a lot of barometric highs and lows cause of rainy weather. It's torture. It causes headaches, severe aches and pains. My doctors office is jammed pack with fibro patients during this time of year. So keep up your immune systems with Grapefruit seed extract, Astragulas, and Vitamin D. It helps me soooooo much. Best to all of you.
1736482 tn?1311616009 You just described Fibromyalgia. I would start out w/you GP and then visit a rheumatologist. They will do blood test to make sure it's not lupus, RA etc.... I have had fibromyalgia for almost 5 yrs. now and those are the symptoms you just described.
Avatar f tn I have chills every day that come and go. Could this be a symptom of fibromyalgia?
Avatar f tn When the weather is wet or an over cast day, I become neausiated, tired, limp and I must rest immediately. Sometimes I feel like I am going to black out. I must go home immediately from work or I must not venture out, because I am sick. But once the sun breaks through or it clears up it is as if a light switch was thrown. I go from completely off to being on and happy. Please tell me if you have ever heard of anything like this in your life.

311693 tn?1218132675 Yes, to the increased pain with the weather. Rain and cold weather are bound to make your pain worse. We usually have osteoarthritis coupled with fms. according to the arthritis foundation. and I do have it. I feel that we need more research on fms because it affects so many people and it increases every year. My daughter is always saying other people don't have it as bad as you. Then i read an article saying there are different levels of fms.

Avatar f tn the pains are stabbing pains all over my hands and occasionally on my arms, and last for about 30 minns-and hour. but then go away for an hour but come back. im not sure if this is related to a previous illness or what, o weather it is worth dragging myself into the doctor again.
Avatar n tn My symptoms began as myalgias and fatigue and I was diagnosed as fibromyalgia and treated with antidepressants for years. I've always had sleep trouble and GI complaints, so I seemed to accept this diagnosis. Over the last 3 months, I began having generalized numbness and tingling with associated burning and hypersensitivity of my skin, a raw feeling in my mouth and painful teeth. My muscle aches and fatigue continue and seem to get worse with weather change and stress.
520191 tn?1355635402 My mum believes i suffer from fibromyalgia. She first thought i had MS or Lupus but the doctors did test an ANA test and they came back fine. My mum has been talking with a friend of hers who is a GP, her friend has suggested fibromyalgia is possible as well.
390388 tn?1279636213 -) These pains in my chests are very quick though, hard and intense like my heart is having a Charlie horse and makes me sweat and lightheaded all within seconds. Just curious if anyone else has experienced this pain with Fibro.....? Thank you for any suggestions.
