Bowie, MD

Hey everyone! I am looking to move, and wanted to know who all out there knows the best state for treatment. My current doctor told me some states are better than others. Thank you!

Members discussed how climate and weather impact their fibromyalgia symptoms when considering where to relocate, with many describing increased pain from cold temperatures, humidity, or sudden weather changes that can trigger flares lasting days. Several members shared specific location insights, noting that dry climates may be easier to tolerate than humid ones, while others warned about healthcare quality varying significantly by state and recommended researching medical resources before making a move. A recurring theme was the challenge of finding a location that balances both good medical care and comfortable weather, with members bonding over the fantasy of a perfect fibro island where the climate stays ideal and excellent treatment is always available.

@A MyFibroTeam Member, I can see it now. The water will always be 80°. It will be sunny and 75 every single day. Doctors will bring our cocktails out to our cabanas. We will each have our own room with king size bed’s. And then at 10 o’clock every night there will be a mist sprayed in our rooms that will make us sleep 10 hours every night with no pain. All the food will be healthy and we will have private chef’s of course! Massages on the beach is a must and there will never be a quarrel.
Fibro Island......... ahhhhh.

Utah has great healthcare. It does snow here but because we are in the desert the humidity is very low. So the winters aren’t bad at all. It’s not a wet cold it’s very dry.
I think we should make a fibro island. They will have the best healthcare there and the best weather imaginable. We just need some investors! Lol

I live in Florida and the humidity makes my pain worse I felt so much better living in Michigan, as we do have a wet cool here in Fla that goes right through your bones when the weather drops in the 50s my whole body hurts if you move to Florida I suggest you move down south I live in the Tampa Bay area. Just remember the humidity will get you
