Why is my pain worse in the summer? I hurt in the winter but not near as bad in the hot weather. And of course I can feel a storm before it comes.

Members shared varied experiences about how weather affects their fibromyalgia pain, with some finding relief in warm weather while others struggle more with heat and humidity, though winter cold and barometric pressure changes from approaching storms were commonly identified triggers. Several members described how extreme humidity, rapid temperature shifts, and oppressive heat can intensify flare-ups, with one member sharing the emotional toll of severe pain episodes that landed them in the hospital and left their young children worried. A recurring theme was the unpredictability of fibromyalgia and the community's compassionate support, offering encouragement to stay strong through difficult flares and reminding each other they are not alone in this fight.

Hi @A MyFibroTeam Member . I have to say my pain is worse in winter, however, if the weather is humid. Or alternating between hot and cold days, that affects me also.

Absolutely, here we have high humidity and as well as being the tornado belt...we can't get a break.

Thank you. I am so glad I'm not the only one. I got so hot yesterday and was in hospital because I was hurting so bad

I feel the same way. Most people say they feel worse the colder it is but for me it seems to be I feel worse the hotter I get. Can't seem to tolerate heat at all, literally. Yes I can sometimes feel when storm is coming but that doesn't usually get to me. Mostly the extreme heat and maybe the extreme cold but not as bad as the extreme heat.

I hurt worse on the winter. I cannot tolerate the cold at all. Like others I can tell when the storms are coming or there are wild changes in the weather.

Sending a hug and prayers to you.
