I find Fall and Winter to be rough with my fibromyalgia! Warm weather and the shift of seasons shifting back to warm to be much better!

I keep track of the weather reports pretty closely, especially predicted changes in barometric pressure and temperature; then I'm at least a little able to be ready in advance (well-rested, well-hydrated, stocked up on groceries and meals in the freezer) for when those dips happen. 💕

Absolutely. Heat and humidity make my MCAS symptoms worse and cold, wet weather flares my fibro and arthritis.
