Re: Re: Cold Climate and Fibro Symptoms

My doctor recently said not to take cod liver oil that it was too much Vit A and

not good. She suggested fish oils which I have switched to but only recently.

The cod liver oil would upset my tummy.

Hi,

You do not get as much sunshine/vitamin D up north. You may consider getting

some cod liver oil. It is known to help chronic pain.

Those are good ideas - thanks!  I do like the exercise. I have noticed that the

more I keep moving of course the more my muscles stay warm.  Once I quit and

have to sit down to work or whatever, thats when the pain and stiffening

happens.

I wear thermals every day and use a SAD lamp. When i am not working or doing

anything important i get in bed. Bed keeps me warm and moderate excercise helps

too

In addition i use MCKenna CDs to lift my mood.

This year has been my best so far. Right now it is freezing outside and i am

coping. I have never been able to say that before

thanks for listening

Joanne

I used to live in Minnesota and suffered the same effects. I moved to Colorado

and everything changed (over a two year span)...I got off disability and started

working full time etc. Of course other things changed besides the climate

(leaving an emotionally abusive relationship, selling the house and renting

instead to leave within my physical limits, tons more sunny days) but I know

climate helped also. When I visit Minnesota in winter it all comes back, even

the humidity in summer visits causes problems but not as bad as the winters. I

also suspect allergies may play a role as I'm allergic to mold, which thrives in

humid climates.
