Winter Weather and Fibromyalgia: Not a Good Combo




Cold air, dampness, and cold fronts coming through....all leading to the annoying pain of fibromyalgia. Oh, how I long for the warm days of spring and summer, when the pain of this chronic condition is easier to cope with. If you have fibromyalgia, you know what I am talking about. If it wasn't for Christmas time, I would not want winter to come at all.

But what can you do? We do not control the weather, only God does. So I just have to get up on my two feet and move forward, looking for ways to overlook the pain that I am suffering.

My husband thought that once I lost my weight, I would no longer be dealing with the aching muscles, fatigue, crankiness, sensitive skin, and joint pain. Oh how I wish that he was right. Lost all the weight but all of these excruciating symptoms are still there, especially in these cold days of winter.

On days like these, when I am down about my physical ailments, I look to laughter as my "best medicine". The following is a video that always makes me smile, even in those times when I do not feel like laughing. Hope that it brings a smile to your face, if you are having a day like me!
