Fibromyalgia, cold weather and pain: How do you cope this time of year? ❄️

Hi everyone ❄️

How are you holding up lately?

As the cold sets in, many people with fibromyalgia say they feel more pain, stiffer joints, or deeper fatigue. For some, it’s not just the drop in temperature but the humidity, shorter days, and limited outdoor activity that make this season harder to navigate.

Each of us finds our own ways to stay warm, soothe the pain, or hold on to a bit of comfort day to day. And your tips might be just what someone else needs to hear right now.

✨ What about you?

• Have you noticed your symptoms get worse when it gets colder?
• What helps you warm up or ease the discomfort (clothing, heat packs, routines, changes at home)?
• Are there times of day when the cold hits you harder? How do you work around that?
