Members shared diverse experiences about how climate affects their fibromyalgia pain, with most agreeing that cold weather significantly worsens symptoms while warmer climates tend to provide relief. Several members described relocating or traveling to warmer regions like Florida or South Carolina for comfort, though some noted that extreme heat and humidity can also be challenging, and one member highlighted temperate coastal climates as ideal. A recurring theme was the importance of finding what works for your individual body, staying positive despite chronic pain, and supporting one another through faith and community encouragement.

Hello Cherokee61. I lived in Maryland previously and PA as well. Both areas would cause more pain that was really unbearable in winter. I moved to Florida. The heat is easier for me. However we do get a cold season too. When that happens my pain levels are high. I think the temperature can also bother you if you have other autoimmune diseases. Like lupus is harder in sun.

Yes, I live in PA and we always travel to warm places in the winter. It's so much better for me.
