Yes. I live in South Africa, and moved here from Tasmania (Australia). We have wet summers and dry winters. My pain is usually bearable, and flare-ups are minor. Cold damp was always the worst.

I have found that taking a hot bath, using a heating pad or an electric blanket on low works good.

@TO ALL FIBRO SUFFERERS:

i HAVE TRIED ON TWO OCCASIONS TO PRINT THE EXTENSIVE BLOOD WORK DONE:

ANA Titre, Vitamin B-12, CRP, Sm.Antibodies, Magnesium,

All but the ANA Titre were normal. The ANA Titre showed positive for Lupus.

Sure hope this will help others in the future.

Oh, Seattle is perfect for me. I'm sensitive to hear and highly allergic to the sun. I'm doing bad now because it's hot here. The rain and grey days save my life! I'm an odd one!
