This is the first year I don't feel better in spring and summer. Usually, the pain was less and I didn't have fatigue. Just wondering if people with different seasons are affected like this.

Members shared varied experiences about how seasonal changes affect their fibromyalgia, with many reporting that dropping barometric pressure is a significant pain trigger that they can predict and track days in advance. Several members described winter as their worst season due to cold and dampness causing widespread pain, while others found summer heat and humidity equally debilitating, with some even experiencing severe fatigue from air conditioning or temperature changes. A recurring theme was that fibromyalgia symptoms shift unpredictably over time, with treatments and preferred seasons sometimes changing after years, leaving many feeling frustrated that this progressive pattern isn't more widely recognized by medical authorities.

I notice the pain is a lot worse when the weather is not so good. I am currently taking part in research on how the weather affects chronic pain disorders. It is an app called Cloudy With A Chance Of Pain. You do not get anything for taking part but it could help others in the future as a lot of us know the weather has an impact on pain but apparently this has not yet been scientifically proven. Best wishes 😊

...and to Think that my husband doesn't believe me when I tell him I can feel the weather changes! It makes me think of the animals species who can feel when for example a tsunami is coming. I wonder if they feel it their bodies like we do?

Try checking to see if barometric pressure is dropping where u live That's what does it for me It's usually humid when the pressure is dropping I can send a drop from 30.06 to 30.03 and I start hurting when I was feeling awesome just minutes before Try it I use this website http://w1.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KJSO.html just google past three days weather observations for your city I dare you to try it

This is an ever changing,worsening & "smart" disease. Might find some thing that will help for a week to a couple year. Then it's like this condition takes a zigzag,& we no longer get relief.Mine started out winter & cold made it worse. Last 10 years,any & all weather changes will worsen my condition at least 1 day,& I start getting horrible pain in normal pain points & all points in between. The stupid "authorities" that claim this isn't a progressively worsening disease are blind,deaf,dumb & refuse to see what is right in front of them!
