Dillon,

I have certainly noticed that if I get to hot and humid that several

things happen. First I get short of breath. Then I get fuzzy

brained...Now, I drink water quite a great deal so I'm positive I'm

not dehydrated. Once I've cooled down, I can usually expect my

hands to go on fire, and then have the fire start from my neck and

work all the way down my spine (fireants eating my spine, my

friend said to me.)

Anyway, that's my deal.

I really think it depends on the person - I personally do wonderfully in

hot weather - my flare-ups in the summer are minimal. However, I spent

most of last winter in bed unable to move from all the pain. It's such

a striking difference to me that eventually I'd like to move south,

maybe to Florida, to escape these awful Pennsylvania winters.

80 degrees and loving it,

Dani

With me it's a mixed bag. Some weather is excellent for

Asthma/Allergies, but very bad for FMS.
