Those of us living with Fibromyalgia and its chronic pain (or chronic pain from other conditions) often find ourselves ravaged by a storm…literally! Scientists can argue that there is no relation…that it is not possible. Yet we know there is a link.
Our bodies shut down with no warning. Struck in the gut with a baseball bat. Then the pounding truly begins…every joint stabbing…headache is piercing. Every ounce of energy invoked to attempt movement…feet act as though they are trapped in the thickest mud…legs groan at the beleaguered motion.
Tears well in my eyes. I can barely manage a weak good night as I muster all effort into shuffling back to my bed. Past experience has taught me to not fight this demon. It is best to lie down…propped with pillows to provide as much relief as possible.
This will pass. I am hopeful for the morning as the worst of this storm will be over. My body will be exhausted and require additional rest.
This is a vicious cycle that so many of us live with…as we continue to battle our conditions and symptoms.

I don’t see how anyone could say there’s no link – My body is very sensitive to changes in barometric pressure and weather!! So true! If only I could live somewhere warm and sunny with a constant relatively high pressure. Oh, that would be the life!
Take good care of yourself!
You describe the “perfect” climate well!! Thank you!!
