Cold weather ...Personally..the hotter, the better!! Cold weather feels like daggers to my joints and muscles. A nice, 100 degree day, may make me sweat but I can move so much better. <br />I noticed a change in the weather before the themometer (sp?) did! The morning is the worst. Trying to get out of bed and walk to the bathroom is nearly impossible when my body feels frozen because it's so stiff and painful. <br />A complication from my Fibro is that I have Raynaud's. (They actually found the Raynaud's first, then Fibro...story of my life- doing things topsy/turvey :) ) So, when the cold weather hits, my fingers and toes are first effected and the constricting veins cause such stabbing pains in my legs/hands, and then the delightful(ha!) pains from Fibro sets in. <br />I'm actually going to the Rothfeld Center for the first time in October. Let's hope they help me survive this winter better than I survived last winter's! (Last winter I was newly diagnosed and very uneducated in Fibro)Sara Pnoreply@blogger.com
