Thanks for your comment, Christine, but sorry you feel so badly. I used to really suffer with barometric changes…really any changes in the weather. And when it was super cold and wet, yikes! I would be so-o-oo miserable. Tell me, are you moving forward and trying any new things that help? If not, give me a shout sometimes and we can talk about what might help you. Sending you good, pain-less wishes and hugs, {{Cinda}}

Today is miserable. It is warm and sunny, in the upper 60s, very windy, the barometric pressure has dropped and there’s rain expected tonight. I ache all over, feel so swollen up and it’s painful to move my arms or walk. I feel very heavy as well. I tend to have more trouble with the barometric pressure than I do the rain, is that possible?

You’re welcomed, Misty. Thanks for your comment. This is an issue everyone faces who has active symptoms. It’s always just around the corner! People do need to understand. When your friends, family and co-workers don’t or won’t, it makes the Fibro person’s like that much tougher……………. and the weather is a bad enough foe. Best wishes & stay in touch on the Health Matters Show. Cinda Crawford

I can relate to everything here! Fronts that move in cause extreme pain widespread and fatigue,not to mention the awful headaches. Some days are better than others though and as for holding down a job its just impossible!! I wish more people understood this condition, including my husband. Its so frustrating trying to plan anything or get anything done…even the smallest tasks seem next to impossible at times. Muscle weakness, headaches, fatigue, achy all over, just to name a few. Thanks for a site where we can all be assured:)

[...] I have heard it has something to do with the Barometric pressure. For reason’s that still have to be determined when the barometric pressure drops patient’s with Fibromyalgia have more pain and stiffness as well as headaches than when the pressure is much higher. http://www.healthmattershow.com/fibromyalgia-and-weather-change/ [...]

Nerves “jumping” might be a little different, but surely weakness, dizziness and lack of energy are common. What does you doctor say about your nerves? Cinda

Hello Cindy, all I can say is…I hear you, gal. This is such a tough illness. May I encourage you to have your husband listen to my interview with Dr. Charles Lapp last week. We structured it the way we did so that families and caregivers could better understand what was going on and to learn the things that they don’t know! Go to: http://www.askdrlapp.com/seminar. When you get there, put in the password “drlapp”, that all. Just (small letters) drlapp. It’s 53 minutes and it is fantastic, even if I do say so , ha! While you’re there, sign up on my seminar list and I’ll send you out notices every time we have an event or anything important.

Bless you and keep in touch, Cinda

I missed Church again due to my whole body aching and full of unexplained movement and discomfort. 2nd day in a row that I woke with charlie horses on top of both feet. I wish my family better understood the last minute changes I have to make. My 12 year old son is my massage theripest. He doesnt mind one bit and always offers to do the job. For this I am extremely grateful.
My Husband prays for me but doesnt realize there are so many other people with this horrindous problem. He doesnt understand the coping part of it, or that I may some days have to not follow through with things and sometimes I have a fog to where its either hard to concentrate and very often hard to remember things. This is quite flusterating for me because I need him to know that I dont plan on being this way when I am and that I dont like it one bit. It is not due to me being lazy or procrastinating. It simply my body is in dramatic pain.
I know that God is an understanding and loving God, I used to feel bad when I couldnt make Church and be there with my family. Now I know that it is ok that I cant make it sometimes. So I worship here at home and I serve him everywhere else I am (:
I am currently taking Lyrica which has done wonders for me, I wish I could have been taking it a long time ago. I take 2-3 Vicodine to help me at night to sleep. Whats scary is that 1 used to do the trick, then 2 now sometimes 2 doesnt help at all.
I live in Oregon, so rain is happening all the time…..I find that the more upset I get with things the worse my fibro is….do you find this to be true as well? My nerves just crawl.
My family has talked me into applying for disability benefits as I dont think I could hold a job, I cant even get simple things done around my house like I need to. I love working, I am a people person. Ive been in customer service for almost 20 years. So this adjustment is very tramatic for me as well.
I do my best to exercise and get out and about, but often I do to much and this can set me back as well???
My prayer to be answered would be that my husband know all there is to know about fibro so that he understands my situation better.
Thanks for the ear Cinda, Im headed back to bed with some socks on
God Bless you and your website for folks like me (:

Hello Jean, I hear you…I really do. My thoughts have been with Fibro folks lately because extreme weather changes can be so very, VERY TOUGH! I believe this happens because of the sudden barometric changes that occur when a storm is approaching. It’s a sure predictor that a storm of some kind is on its way. The barometric changes “change” the fluid (and maybe the gases) inside of the body, probably within the small spaces between or inside tissues and joints. This puts pressure on them and the pain comes. One thing that I found to relieve this phenomena rather well and rather quickly was to get into warm water for awhile. Water pressure puts subtle pressure on these affected areas and that often helps me. Exercise may help some because the movement helps to normalize this, too.

Best wishes, thanks so much for your comment and visit the blog again soon! Thanks, Cinda

I have fibromyalgia. We are in the middle of tornado season. When the symptoms start my family knows we are about to have extremely bad weather. I try to stay active but there is a point when all seems to fail. The pain is so horrible I want to crawl in a hole & not move. I try really hard to keep moving & to keep my mind busy. When most people have an “ok” day, that for me is a wonderful God blessed day. Thank you for your website. Have a good day.
