Polar Vortex & Weather Change (pain)
 

I've been having a difficult few weeks since it got so cold. Besides the usual numb feet, I have been experiencing a lot of pain behind my shoulders and down my back. I think they are the fibromyalgia pressure points. Generally my flair ups are few and I don't take many pain meds but I've been taking small doses of flexeral along with tylonal. I'm on Warafin so I am limited. Anyone else experiencing this. I have a heating pad in bed ready for action. today I woke up feeling like I was going to die with shoulder and back pain that also gave me a head ache. I was able to get it all under control, but it makes me appreciate those of you who experience this day after day.:grouphug:

Do you watch the TV weather?

Last Monday HLN weather (I watch this terrible network a little bit :rolleyes:) does a good weather early in the morning.

The weather guy explained 5 LOWs sweeping across the nation all week. That it is a MAJOR issue for people with chronic pain problems!

I recall one day either last year or the year before, when 5 lows were stuck over the nation's map for a few days! I was having alot of pain from that situation, as I recall! ;)

LOW pressure usually causes me grief, as well. I see lots of posts on the various forums here about it.

Sorry for you, my friend. I use aspirin for it when it comes, as that seems the most effective, for me.
