Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Deb and Cheryl, That bit about patients with fibro being more sensitive to pain is correct. Whatmost docs do not understand is that this particular condition is pervasive and not usually confined toone spot or area of the body, although it can flare up in one or two areas at a time. Also, when itflares, the entire body is involved, like with SLE, and it hurts anywhere there is connective tissue, aswell as in the 18 "hot spots" that are used to gage the condition during an exam. Pain managementissues are part of the lives of Fibro patients, without a doubt. Good luck, ladies, and keep us postedon progress, 'k? Loving hugs, MM Thank you Cheryl in CA ____________________________________________________ IncrediMail - Email has finally evolved - Click Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 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? > In a message dated 2/24/2004 9:24:18 AM Central Standard Time, > minniemyno@a... writes: > > > Mike is sure right about this.

Anyone know of any studies on this? , I live here in Az and trust me, we don't get much rain at all. Sat morning I woke up and without looking at t.v or asking anyone I knew that either it was raining, had just rained or was getting ready to rain because everything hurt so bad. Yes, we do feel pain depending on the weather. My Dr finally increased my durogesic patch dose yesterday because it was so bad. a C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
