I've been flaring up all week due to the hot weather. It always takes me a while to adjust to the heat but summers are definitely my hardest. Do any of you flare up in the summer time? I know a lot of people dread the cold but for me it's definitely the heat that makes me hurt the most.

I Am at my worst when weather Is changing or cold. Now in summer when the weather Is stable i feel better but like an hour ago skin on my whole body started to burn And i feel deep inside pain in both Arms And legs .. So i know Its going to rain/thunderstorm . Hope you feel better soon sending spoons And Positive Vibes ☀️ x
I flare when the weather changes from season to season, so my worst flares will hit when it changes from summer to fall/winter and from winter to spring/summer. I also flare the worst when it is cold,wet, and rainy/snowy outside. Any time a 'front' comes through that changes the barometric pressure very much, it sets off my migraines, so that is another bugger I have to control
Luckily I've never had a migraine and seldom a headache. I'm sorry you are having to deal with them. However, I do get flares with rainy weather and changes in barometric pressure. During most of these instances even the Tramadol I take for pain doesn't work. But I have found hot baths with Epsom salts to be very helpful in lessening and/or getting rid of the pain in the legs and lower back. Water therapy or exercising in a warm water pool is also very helpful. My only problem is sometimes I feel too crappy to get up and get dressed to drive to the pool! So I just lay back down and feel more guilt about doing nothing and feeling lazy.
