I don't know. For me, the colder it is, the less I hurt. I even use ice packs sometimes to calm the flares down at least a little.

I guess we're all different in one way or another.

Maybe you should take a vacation to a warm place and see how your body reacts first. No need to move if it doesn't help.

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense...and I'll take any excuse to go on vacation. :) I was just wondering because my flares seem to intensify when the weather changes...even rain.

I think the rapidly changing barometric pressure really makes a difference in how I feel. I live north of Seattle and we have storm system after storm system move ashore for at least 9 months a year. Drvies me nuts.

I don't like the heat, but would like to live where it was sunny, dry with low humidity.

Maybe someday......

I think change in weather effects me much more than the climate... I dont mind winter ..my favorite season is fall... I hate the summer and when my husband and I spent some time in florida thinking of buying land there ( years ago) I was miserable..
If I could find a place 60 - 70 degrees and DRY all year round I might consider it...

I live in Florida. My symptoms get worse in the heat. I will go outside when it is hot and I get lightheaded and my chest starts to hurt. For me, it is worse in hot weather. I don't go out until it cools down now.

I live in Fla. and the months between Oct. and May are wonderful, I could not imagine a cold climate. I do have trouble in the summr months because of the high humidity and pressure changes with the storms but those few months are worth the faal and spring here...jen

Honey, I live in the same area and I feel your pain. I have often considered moving to a warmer climate, but being a poor college student.. well, it's just not practical. I do find that the warmer it is outside, the better my muscles feel. ..unless a summer storm is coming!

I live in a cool climate, the bottom of New Zealand and I always get much better in the summer. I hate the winter, and it has been recommended that i move to a warmer climate, but my kids are going through school etc. Maybe I'll retire somewhere warm.

Warm weather helps me,as does hot water and a relaxing bath,funnily enough being by the coast makes me feel better.

I'm your neighbor near Baltimore. :)

I have a friend who moved from Maryland to Phoenix (AZ, not Phoenix, Maryland!) and swears her fibro is much better out there. All pain levels are better for her.

But...she can tolerate air conditioning and it makes me hurt more, especially at night.

And the yin/yang is that summers are blazing hot in AZ and they have very limited water supplies.
