Feeling disapointed...
I thought symptoms would improve with warmer weather. Seems I've had a variety in severity of flares since Spring started- I dont understand whats going on. Allergies?? I felt much better when it was cold. 😞 Tired of being miserable and can't tolerate scripts.

Members shared their experiences with how weather affects fibromyalgia symptoms, revealing that triggers vary widely from person to person, with some feeling worse in cold and damp conditions, others struggling more in heat and humidity, and many finding that rapid temperature changes cause the most severe flares. Several members described the devastating impact of extreme fatigue and pain that leaves them unable to perform basic activities, with frustration over medical dismissiveness and the lack of affordable, effective treatments. A recurring theme was the importance of peer support during difficult times, with members encouraging each other not to give up while sharing strategies like warm, stable climates and exploring alternative approaches when conventional medicine falls short.

I just spent 4 weeks in Florida with my parents and I felt a whole lot better. I am now back in Indiana and after 1 day I am back to not feeling good. Cold and really hot bothers me.

I have emergency medical because of my life threatening issue 2 years ago. I will probably lose that in a month or so. Why can't someone figure this out or at least get out of the way for treatments that help. I don't understand the world at all. I would be dead without support, scary...however, I have no quality of life now! My pain let up over the last couple weeks but exhaustion upped it's game so that I can barely walk. I sooooo hear you and am so sorry for you too

I'm struggling too, primarily with extreme exhaustion. I can't believe this is not taken more seriously. I've seen three doctors in a week and I am like a stumbling, slurring my words, eyelid drooping drunk! I feel like I'm dying the slowest death possible and all anyone says is to eat well and exercise. I don't know if I can make it...
