Guest guest Posted January 3, 2003 Report Share Posted January 3, 2003 Damn! That's COLD!! I don't have fibro, and like my house cool, but that's too cold even for me. I'd put it up to at least 68F. ellen OT fibro question Fellow Fibro Moms, Do you find the temperature of your house has any bearing on the pain and the joint stiffness? If I turn up my heat few degrees, do you think that will help? I have the thermostat set to 17c...oh hell, what is that...conversion table says 63F.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2003 Report Share Posted January 3, 2003 It is always worth a shot, although, no, I have never noticed that temperature or weather have anything to do with my flares. For me it is more stress and eating right. But pain is not a huge part of my symptoms. Sometimes significant, yes, but far from foremost. :/ -Sara.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2003 Report Share Posted January 3, 2003 Personally, I feel awful when I'm cold. The thermostat would NEVER say 63 in my house. I always keep it around 75. I'm dismayed. I did a medication change awhile back, and I had no pain for a week. Well, its back...must have been a fluke. > > Fellow Fibro Moms, > > Do you find the temperature of your house has any bearing on the pain and the joint stiffness? > > If I turn up my heat few degrees, do you think that will help?

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2003 Report Share Posted January 3, 2003 > Do you find the temperature of your house has any bearing on the pain and the joint stiffness? YES! And dampness. Cold and damp is horrid (read stiff as a board). > > If I turn up my heat few degrees, do you think that will help? I have the thermostat set to 17c...oh hell, what is that...conversion table says 63F. I would resemble The Tin Woodsman before Dorothy put oil to him. I keep the house at 70 and when it's cold and damp outside, which is NOTHING like the cold you get I turn it up because the corners of the house and upstairs take on a definite chill and I can barely move. One night I forgot to and I hurt so bad even the blanket weight was too much. Bad combination. Turn the heat up if you can afford to. I have bed socks for the winter time, and sometimes I wear half gloves on my hands - the ones with the fingertips open. I'll also wear the half gloves during the day and I'll drape a fleece scarf over my neck and shoulders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
