Guest guest Posted June 10, 2002 Report Share Posted June 10, 2002 I'm just the opposite - the heat and humidity are like a sauna for my poor little body. I get rid of my aches and pains only when it is humid and above 80. Bad scene since we live in Chicagoland. My husband is working on a deal to work from home so we could move to Florida (Miami area). Hope the day is good for all, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2002 Report Share Posted June 10, 2002 Hi , I'm in Mt. Prospect, IL! I feel the same way about the weather. Although when the humidity is high, its a bit uncomfortable, but I much more prefer the summer to the winter. The winters are horrible.... all my pain and fatigue and depression is worse during the winter. I feel much better when the weather is nicer, the sun is shining and the temps warmer. I wouldn't want to move...I wouldn't know where to go. My sister is in CA, but I don't think I could move there. Most of my family and all my friends are here and I have deep roots, so I just muddle through the winters here. I tend to 'hibernate' during the winter. Koala-t hugs, Cathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an accomplishment! Jen in Iowa ~~~~~~ I have fibromyalgia and I know how hard it can be being sick and dealing with special children. I work for an company that work with the population. I am a TSS (Therapeutic Staff Support), i work in the schools and my client is a challenging case. It took me 3 months to get my basically nonverbal client to say " please " and " thank you " and i almost did cartwheels down the hall. Even though i don't know exactly how it feels and such, i have the idea. When you think you have been banging your head off the wall, they do something totally unexpected and makes all the trouble, stress and the pain you feel for being stressed out worth it. We have a autistic program and i have work with the clients. They are truly special. I know what i said is not entirely according the group, i just wanted to let you know, i completely understand. I would not trade my job for anything but my fibromyalgia is making it difficult. Good luck to you and the potty training! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2002 Report Share Posted June 11, 2002 I feel the best when the weather is warm and sunny, but with low humidity. Winter is the worst for me. Cold and damp. Ugghh! But high temps coupled with high humidity is almost as bad. I wish this disease wasn't so weather affected. It's not like I'm going to get that many perfect days in a row. If I did, I could probably stop taking pain killers. Take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2002 Report Share Posted June 11, 2002 I am another one who just can't tolerate hot and humid weather. I find that I get more tired and it happens much more easily than during cool or even cold weather. I hurt more and get intense migraines if I have to be outside when it's above 80 degrees. I also find myself getting very irritable at the slightest little thing. -Mareth, who's dreading the next three hot-as-Hades months in Ohio ~*~*~*~*~*~ The greatest achievement of the human spirit is to live up to one's opportunities, and to make the most of one's resources. -- Vauvenargues _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2002 Report Share Posted June 16, 2002 I've been there and done that. I used to live in Mississippi. The summer was horrible, but the weather here in Ohio ranks up there with Mississippi. It has been very hot and humid. At the time I lived down there I liked the heat. I was always freezing. I used to sleep with an electric blanket during the summer. Now i " m the complete opposite. I hate going outside when it's hot & humid. It doesn't do anything positive for me. Well, I just thought I'd let you know that Ohio's summers can be just as bad as the south. ~ --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2002 Report Share Posted June 17, 2002 .. Well, I just thought I'd let you know that Ohio's summers can be just as bad as the South. I know. I have lived in Ohio. Without air-conditioning. I shudder to think about it now. I had both of my children in the middle of the summer. In those days they kept you in the hospital for a week. I remember sleeping at the bottom of the bed where there was a window and I kept it open hoping for some cook air.
