Guest guest Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Joe, let me say this. I do know that the horrible humidity of East Tx makes it difficult for most fibro sufferers. However, I do know also that extreme cold as you experience up north is a real bad thing for us too. It gets really really hot here in the summer. (I am close to Houston). I hate it but I will say that my pain is worse in the winter for the most part. Hope FL will be great for you. As for stopping the progression, I don't know. I guess that depends. (medical experts and researchers will tell you it does NOT progress). They are full of crap. It does. It does not progress to the same severity with us all and not at the same rate. It might NEVER make me bedbound whereas it does make others bedbound. I may never need a wheelchair, whereas others do. However, it has progressed in my case the last 5 years and aged me at least 10-15 years in the last 5. Now keeping in my mind that a low stress lifestyle will be of tremendous help. Plenty of rest plus medications that are right for you will make a difference.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 joe: I moved from Michigan to Florida 2 years ago and haven't noticed any difference. Don't know if this is because I went from one semi- stressful job to another. I'm not a sun person - I burn, blister and then get white again - so I don't go out too much from May thru about September. It was 92 degrees today and the humidity is starting... ~Krista > > ***Note from Co-Owner: I live in FL (was diagnosed with fibro since being here) and have found that the weather here is better for my fibro than if I tried to move out of State such as to a place like OR, but everyone is different. *** > > > Greets, > > I live in Ohio now and am planning to move to Florida.
