Best city to live
Sorry if this has been asked before but what's everyone's opinion on the best place to live for fibromyalgia. The cold and damp make me hurt so I'm thinking a desert location. Anyone have an opinion on San Diego or Tuscon? thanks!
Do you mean to say Arizona was better than Florida for you? I've been in Surprise AZ for a year and a half and while it's much better than Indiana, the cooler half of the year has such cold nights and mornings everyday that it makes it hard for me to function... my body hates the fluctuation. I'm thinking of moving to Clearwater. Do you think that's a mistake? Thanks!

I know it's been awhile since your original post, but I received disability with a different DMSIII label when fibromyalgia didn't work. You will first need to apply yourself, it will 99% be denied. Then find a disability lawyer, they only can charge $5,600 after you receive your disability. They will send you to a psychologist and she diagnosed me as also having PTSD because I could not work due to pain and have anxiety due to the stress of not working and my car accident. Good luck and hopefully you have already started the process. It takes a long time to receive, but they back pay to the date of the injury in a lump sum amount.
God bless

I know how you feel. I wish you had better health care, so do I. They just don't seem to get it. I hope you get help with your pain.
Hi, Awhhh you poor thing. Well I've had Fibro about 20 yrs. I've lived in Ca, moved to AZ. There for a really long time.lol
I think that AZ. has been one of the best places. I'm sure if you were there, u probably feel pretty good. Now, I live in Fl. I have good adjustment living about 5 yrs. in each place . However, I also would not use lyrica ...ugh!!
However I take cymbalta... With Celebrex. You can also try too have less stress which is a trigger.email me any time ...tinkimoon
Gmail. Feel better

How are you doing now? I felt your pain as I read. This is the first Comment I've posted.
I recommend Naltrexone 4.5-6.0mg 1 hr. before bedtime. It is an RX that must be compounded. It was part of Stanford University, Ca's, study about 4 yrs ago.
I started it about 2 yr. ago. It helped with the leg and body "jumps" and pain up/down arms/fingers. I slept better, too. Silly me, I stopped it several months ago. I will begin asap as the weather is killing me. (cking out weather for fibro is how I came across you.)
I know about pain lingering after surgery...Several years ago, I underwent minor shoulder cuff repair - in bed for 3 months!..
I am so worried as I am now heading towards double jaw surgery and chin reconstruction. I also have sleep apnea and an ear disorder that will also require surgery. I fall often, so I need rotatator cuff and labrum surgery again.
My docs are Supreme. I'm not worried about the surgeries. It's the fibro that I expect will exacerbate things.
As you know, these type of surgeons, aren't skilled in fibro.
What are your recommendations following hip surgery? THANKS!!!! L.

If people with FM can say the weather does not effect them , perhaps they have been misdiagnosed. I can say that because everyone I have ever met with FM has had weather related pain. The barometric pressure changes, before a storm are the worst.Sometimes the pain can be devastating and other times you are stuck in a fibro-fog. I was diagnosed with this horrible disease about 14 years ago,should have left back then but other factors made me stay.That is the way it is and I live in upstate NY, at least for now. This place can be very,very bad for FM sufferers. Tophers
