Re: any idea why weather affects symptoms?~~~?????

[Guest guest]

Ra I live in S.E. Ark. where the weather changes at the drop of a hat. At

one time I though Spring was the worst season for me but I've been in an almost

constant flare for 18 mo. now. Weather patterns DO affect my condition. When we

(Arkanansans) go from dry warm to wet cold conditions I do experience increased

pain and stiffness and my Rheumee ruled out any forn of arthritis. It seams as

if though no scientist has put a definte cnnection to weather and our conditions

.. Hopfully in the future science will provides us w/more answers and more

important more solutions!

Hello again...First off, thank you for your kind welcomes!OK, so

......weather.....This isn't arthritis so why does weather affect our symptoms?I

live in the Seattle area where winters are gray and wet but thewhite stuff is

supposed to stay in the mountains. Not this year!I've been hurting badly since

last week and wonder if the change inweather could be the cause.

opinions?Thanks!a

Please don;t knock yourself out but there are some great studies out there that

depression and walking can be just as therapeauric as meds. Obviously walking

even a little releases endorphins and that is a good thing. Remember walking can

include a shopping trolley day although I tend to consider it more relaxing if

its just a beach or scrub walk. Small and often is jusst as good as once in a

while, and hell anything that beats pills is fine by me.

My therapist told me the same thing. Makes total sense to me but how

does one get motivated to walk? Between lousy, wet winters, horrible

allergies in spring.....oh heck, I can come up with a ton of excuses.

One of my friends told me about Sansone. She has many DVDs of

indoor walk-in-place programs. I've had one for a year and used it

once. I need to DO THIS!!

And I do adore retail therapy. I could say that FMS is a blessing when

I'm at the mall because my 'drop' in 'shop 'til you drop' happens so

much faster these days.

Yes! Exercise of any form does wonders for anxiety and depression.

I've been diagnosed with several mood 'issues' but after my body

rejected every med there is (so it seems) I now exercise and do just

fine without mood meds.

I don't have any work out equipment at all, and I live in a pretty tiny

cramped home. But what I do is walk around and around inside my home

for thirty minutes. The cats get annoyed but I always feel amazing

afterwards!
