Left hip in agony, as well as lower back, neck in pain too, but things to do. On getting out of bed, discovered my left knee was weak again this morning. NOT a good start to the new month. Afternoon Update - Ok, seems this evening I'm "drop things Phil" yogurts, a roll I made for lunch, and just now my phone on the floor 😕 what gives? Evening Update - That's my day done..... dropped one of my tablets went to vend down to pick it up and my back decided to send a message..... a shooting pain, just what I needed.

Going to get hot and humid later in the week again. 7th : Damn this shooting pain. Thursday can't come soon enough, pain meds review w...

High Humidity & Fibromyalgia

High humidity can exacerbate fibromyalgia symptoms for some individuals. Increased humidity can make it harder for the body to regulate temperature, potentially leading to overheating and increased pain, fatigue, and discomfort. Additionally, some people with fibromyalgia experience worsened symptoms in response to fluctuating barometric pressure, which often accompanies changes in humidity.  Here's a more detailed explanation: Temperature Regulation:   High humidity can hinder the body's ability to cool itself through sweat evaporation, potentially causing overheating and discomfort.  Pain and Discomfort:   Some individuals with fibromyalgia report increased pain, stiffness, and headaches during periods of high humidity.  Barometric Pressure:   Changes in barometric pressure, often associated with weather fluctuations and high humidity, can also trigger or worsen fibromyalgia symptoms.  Individual Differences:   It's important to note that not...
