This has been a very informative post. Thank you for the question and LOTS of wonderful info.
Swear, I pay for anything with aspertain. and humidity, and cold water temperatures, and over duing.
But, I have parkinson's, was first diagnosed with Fibro and then more symptoms showed.

Good luck to you all !

We just have to do the best we can.

I call myself the 'human barometer'!! I can actually tell when the weather is going for a downturn.. the pain arrives! I agree humidity + moisture + cold =MISERY!! I LOVE warm dry heat it feels so good to my body, so soothing for me.
I am also on Cymbalta and take Ibuprofen when the pain comes.
I hope you feel better soon.

RLS just started for me, how awful I was up all night with it last week I get such anxiety with it maybe a tranquilers will help. I take cymbalta 90 mg, and tramadol 2x's aday.Fibro is a real killer. Had no idea all these years. Does it ever go away?

I have polymyalgia rhumatica, different than fibro. but still hurt all the time. The weather does effect it. I was on prednisone for a while, had to go off of it and can't be on it anymore. Rest is important. If anyone knows of anything other than over the counter pain relief I would like to know.

As a medical professional, I have it also. Wellbutrin 150mg a anit depressant helps. I also take celebrex 200mg at night. A hot tub helps to relax muscles. When someone ticks you off this stress tightens muscles, mine is in the neck back. The muscles will not totally relax. The next agorvation accures bang again, tighten, not much relaxation of the muscle. As a ministers wife, I have found that bidderness, unforgiveness modavates this. So we, our minds stress the muscles. I have found to totally to forgive, and dump the bidderness by never thinking about the wrong that was done to me. Rehassings, keeps it stirred up. If a bad memory starts a thought, pray get out of my mind you stinken think'in leave in Jesus name. Ladyilene
