Change in the Weather

It's fall, soon to be winter. The weather cycle continues as we spring into spring, and run to summer. I enjoy all the seasons with fall as my favorite. Each season has its own purpose and beauty....

Winter can be cold and rainy, with freezing temperatures and a chance of snow and ice.

Spring brings beautiful flowers and color is everywhere.

Summer's warm sun shines a bright light on all the earth.

Fall brings color to the leaves and a warm east wind.

Those with Fibromyalgia can have additional pain during different seasons. For me, it is summer. My body protests the heat and I have increased pain. For others it is winter with the chilling cold.

I have increased symptoms with a cold wind which is an issue during three of the seasons. A cold wind makes my arms, back and thighs cold to the bone. This type of cold does not go away until I'm under a warm blanket. A friend gave me a heated lap blanket. I hope it never wears out! ;D

  1. Hi Debbie,
    Fall is my favorite season, but also the most difficult for me. I do great in the warmth of the summer weather, but as soon as fall hits, so does the fibro flare up! I don't know if it's the colder weather, less sunlight or a combo of the two.

    I just started my own blog, called Confessions from the Fibro Fog, hoping my experiences could help others as well. Your blog is an inspiration!
