    Is anyone else with this illness finding this ongoing cold causing problems, please?

    Symptoms that have not bothered for years have returned recently. Am rock bottom with it.

    Just wondered if is it the long winter?

    Thanks

    I have fibromyalgia and I found that damp weather is really bad for me. I notice a huge change in my symptoms when its damp. Cold, crisp days on the other hand are fine for me.

    Me too! Although I live in a cold house and am too mean to put on the central heating during the day, I dress appropriately for the weather - fingerless gloves & lots of layers from the head down:) are great when using the pc! This said, I'm more inclined to get sore and cranky when the rain is teaming from the heavens than when it's like it is today - bright, cold and crispy!

    Interesting but not surprising as ME has other dimensions.

    Too much light and stimulation, and also hay fever has already set in somehow.

    Your dress sounds like mine; a uniform!!!
