Does the weather effect you, like if there is a storm coming in, can you feel it before you see it? I feel like people think I’m crazy when I tell them its gonna storm, I’ve tried distinguishing what kind of weather effects what but I think it just depends on stress and what not as to where I ache or feel exhausted. I think people are often perplexed because I do not look sick, so I often get a strange confused look or like im looking for attention... I am just trying to understand it.

Yes it does. I always know when storm or cold weather is happening even when i havent even watched the weather or been outside. And if i do go outside in cold or rain i cannot last more than 3 min because the aches and pains are unbearable. Thats fibro for ya.

My body has been a forecaster for 30 years of having fibro. It seems when the barametric.pressure changes, it feels like I had 500 pounds of weight pushing against my body. I live in florida so at least I don't have to deal with the snow. Sorry my northern fibro warriors. I know it must make fibro much worse.
