I was just wondering how many fibro people have found improvement with their symptoms after a move to a warmer, drier climate? My husband and myself are considering a move to a place with a more stable climate (we now live in the midwest). I have tried so many therapies, medications over the 25 years I have had fibromyalgia, with no lasting improvement in my symptoms and wonder if a move to a warmer climate might help. We are doing lots of research before making a move though. Your imput will help me in this research. Thanks.

Gina, I don't have an answer for you...I live in Northern Utah...a common saying here is if you don't like the weather wait a few minutes it will change.
My experience is that even in the summer when it is warmer when a front starts across the Nevada desert I can hurt like its winter. This winter however has really reeked havoc on me. Last year the end of March we went to southern Utah and into Las Vegas and I felt different than at home...don't know if climate or latitude or what it was all about... You take care and I hope you find an answer soon...

I live in Colorado and I hurt just as much in the summer as the winter. I think it's just something that no change in weather will help.

Ummmm I have heard it said it was true. When Rheumatism was in its beginnings of exploration they would tell them to move to a warm stable climate.
So a rush moved to Arizona. I have yet to hear about someone not complaining about an ache or pain regardless of where they live!

Hi Gina and Welcome. As my neuro at the Mayo Clinic told me.... when the barometric pressure changes, your Fibro will let you know. I live in the MW too, and the ever changing temps mess w/me in all 4 seasons.
I was just in No.Carolina and the weather was 60-70's with some cooling down at night... My Fibro acted up down there also. I hope you pick a good place to move. My friend has Fibro and Sjogrens' and lives in AZ in the winter months and she's miserable right now... Guess we're just hard to please....
