Cool Afraid of Summer

It used to be that the Winter Months were my best months in terms of pain intensity. Then, when the humidity of the late spring and Summer months would come, my pain would elevate. So, I'd wait in eager expectation for the Winter to arrive, since it was some easier on me-painwise. I'm nervous this year for the coming of the warmer months with their high humidity around here. That's because my winter's struggles with CRPS this year have been without an established history. My pain has been way above what is normally my baseline for an extended period of time. And if my pain levels have been this high during the winter, I'm in fear of what the more wet and humid months will bring me. I currently don't have many good days, it seems. And there may be some factors for that. Yes, I've had a surgery in the midst of this Winter. Yes, I've fallen and jammed my foot into the floor. But those things haven't taken up the entire winter. And, there hasn't been any steady return to what used to be my baseline, which is a pain level of around 7 to 7.5 or 8, which at this point I would gladly welcome. As of late, my pain is skyrocketing. And yes, to be honest, it does make me fearful of the coming dawn of the much Hotter Wet and especially "Humid" Months. Man, I hate this CRPS Monster. It is relentless and takes advantage of anything that a human might normally enjoy, like the good ol Summer time!
