Pain. When weather shifts
Hi
Just wondering if others with fibromyalgia suffer severe muscle pain when storms roll in. I have never had this much pain in my back before and we've had storms all day.

Yes! And if I get hot or in the sun for more than about 10 minutes I even get stabbing in my core front and back and itch on my arms. Then comes the fatigue. When it's cold or I get too cold it hurts almost feels like to the bone!
I think this is an unfortunately common response
As far as I can tell when the barometer jumps and midwestern storms come in my fibromyalgia (and other problems) worsen.

1 ReactionMy husband was a weatherman in the Air Force in the seventies. We were stationed in Colorado Springs, Colorado and after the first year he told me that he always knew what mood I would be in when he came home. It was the drop in barometric pressure! The air is thinner because of the high altitude and I was acutely sensitive to any drop or increase. High pressure days were wonderful and low pressure days not at all. All I had then was asprin and it helped but I just had to wait for better weather.

Hi I live in northeast of USA and during all the seasons up here the pain I experience can be un bearable as I become older. I was diagnosed in my 50s but had this since my 20s find it was better living down south under sea level but after surviving Hurricane Katrina came back home and haven't been south since.

2 Reactions@sue417 sure Im up now we have snow storm coming lol I suffer with neck pain shoulder pain arm pain in my biceps hip pain knee pain sciatica, tension headaches over the right eye usually to the back of the neck
I take lyrica 200 mg 3x a day I just got cleared to take ibuprofen I take 600mg and I take roboxin 750mg
I also take cymbalta 60mg. My heart goes out to all of you and it's great to have a platform where there are others going through and up at night as well we can. have a coffee together
I also experience intense fatigue where I cant get out of bed for days just went through that was in bed 5 days no sun here today we had sun I felt little better did some things last night and today but over did it !! Hopefully not enough t I. Put me down i. bed again. I get in a cycle on a good day Im a clean freak in the house and knock out a month's work of household chores in a day because afraid I'll be down for duration and I just recently moved in with my boyfriend so I definitely don't want to be a burden but an asset. I just reconnected and reconciled with him after my husband of 26years passed away and he lost his mate as well. I know how hard it is to want to be able to go and do things and have to pass it up because your exhausted so exhausted you can drive your own car to the store

Wow I tried lyrica once it was horrid. The only med that really worked for me was cyclobenzaprine but I can't take it anymore the doctor will not allow me to which I don't know why because I took a very low dose.
