Do seasons make a difference?
 
It is my first posting. I also realize this is repetative for most of you, but new to me. I am no where a severe as some that I have read, but it is slowly increasing. What I feel like is a mild sunburn that started at the feet, then legs, arms & tops of hands, now to my bottom and upper back and I think my face.:) I have had the EKG, MRI and hosts of blood work done with no clues there. I had been taking Crestor and discontinued aroun November. (High cholesterol and family history heart disease, I do need some help there. Been trying it on my own, to no avail) In the late spring I realized I wasn't feeling the "burn" and it remained gone for the summer. End of August I began to feel the burn come back, at which point it included the back and bottom. I do take fish oil, CoQ10 and Calcuim with Manisium and D. I just thought it odd that I first felt it in the fall of last year. I have a hard time thinking there would be a cool temp. connection because we would be in air conditioning ... I just don't know. Neurologist that I saw was more focused on stress, which I do excell at harboring, but i have never heard of that connection.

I have had PN since December (or at least that's when the pain started--I wasn't diagnosed until May), so I am not a whole lot of help. I haven't had years and years to reflect on if seasons change my symptoms. However, when I get cold (whether it is from the cold weather,after a shower, or air conditioning that is too cold, my pain gets much worse. My feet don't get cold to the touch, but they get cold to the core--as if my bones are frozen inside of me. In that aspect, I imagine that winter will be more painful than the warmer months have been, but I can't say for sure.

I seem to be sensitive to barometer changes. For me, that would be rain, or in Jan, maybe a few cold (for us) days. A hurricane now and I want my bed, but would have to evacuate on pain meds. The last time I went North, I darn near froze!
