Members shared mixed experiences about how heat affects their fibromyalgia symptoms, with many Florida residents reporting that high temperatures and humidity cause achiness, dizziness, difficulty breathing, and overall worsening of symptoms. Several members described preferring cooler weather while others found warmth soothing for their pain, with a recurring theme being that temperature sensitivity itself is a common fibromyalgia symptom that affects everyone differently. Many members emphasized that humidity rather than heat alone was the real challenge, making them feel unable to move or breathe comfortably even with air conditioning set as low as 72 degrees.

Temperature sensitivity is just another symptom of Fibro, a very common one at that. Of coarse they are not sure as to why this happens although I came across an article for those of you who are curious.

Bonnie, thanks for the link. I saw an ad about the thyroid and after reading the article, clicked on it. I was convinced and purchased the supplement to take and see if my constant blood testing shows any differences! I'm sick and tired of all the crap I have to take and shots to keep my glucose levels down! Maybe it will help! If it does, I'll be reporting back to everyone!

Hi Cindy
I also live in Miami and yes both extremes kill me if it is to hot or to cold. Even when it rains it's hard to get an okey day in their. Hugs

I feel like I cannot move in the heat and humidity...I set my AC @ 72 degrees to stay comfortable.
