Springtime and Fibromyalgia

Will Spring every happen in WI.? Temps in the 50's do not indicate that it is.  Feeling stiff, sore and out of sorts.  The hot tub and a little simple restorative yoga stretching certainly help.  But nothing like the good old temps of summer in the 70's.  I welcome ye back ole summer!  But seriously, that is what works the best for me, if it could only be sunny and 70 all the time.  NO, I am not moving to Florida, it's so humid there in the summer, you can't open the door and go outside.  The wet, damp air sticks to your muscles and really puts me down.

Florida Getaway and Fibromyalgia

I just returned from Florida after a three week stay in the nice warm weather.  I loved it!!  The heat makes me feel soooo good, hardly any pain associated with being there.  I also, of course, love summer around here, except in the humidity which makes my fibro flare greatly.  I hope I will have the opportunity to do this every winter now that my husband and I are both retired.  Have to get a few perks out of growing older, ya know.  But seriously, the key to feeling good is staying warm, hiding out from the cold weather at all costs.  Even if you become a recluse in the winter time, it it means keeping your fibro in check, by all means do it and love it !!
