No I know of no studies..... I wish I did. I went to Louisiana a

week ago.......while I was there my Fibro seemed to be under control.

The minute I got home...my hands swelled and my body has been in a

flare. I'm so tired and hurting so badly and I just want to sleep!

I'm sure the weather is a cause!!!! Take care.....

We have a big storm moving in today, and my fibro is really starting to make itself known. I'm sure the barometric pressure has something to do either with fibro or our ability to fight off the pain. We're supposed to get slammed tomorrow, and I bet my fibro will be part of it.

Anyone know of any studies on this?

Mike is sure right about this. We have been having a lot of

rain

lately and my fibro has been very very bad. It started in my hips

and legs on Sat

and then even with me not moving off the couch all day, my hubby

took care of

things for me, it was a ton worse by Sunday. Then it was up my

entire back and

neck. Monday it went up my head as well. Finally I called the DR

today and he

is upping my durogesic patch dose to 75 so hopefully that will

help. Has

anyone talked to you about using that for pain management? It is

the only thing

that gives me round the clock pain relief. Just a thought.

a C

the entire body is involved, like with SLE, and it hurts anywhere

there is

connective tissue, as

well as in the 18 "hot spots" that are used to gage the condition

during an

exam. Pain management

issues are part of the lives of Fibro patients, without a doubt.

Good luck,

ladies, and keep us posted

on progress, 'k? Loving hugs, MM
