Does the weather affect how you feel if you have fibromyalgia? Can you tell if it’s going to rain a few days in advance without watching the weather on the news? Do you feel more achy if it’s cold? What about if you have arthritis?

If this a problem for you, what do you do to feel better besides taking medicine? Have you tried any kind of salves or creams? Do you use a heating pad or an electric blanket?

I like to use the rice filled heating pads that you put in the microwave. They ease a lot of the muscular pain I feel when I’m cold or when the weather is damp. It also helps me when I’m just in pain even without the weather being out of whack.
