constantly hurting

Yes Biometric changes do affect FM. We can't do much about the unstable weather but we can make sure that we are getting enough rest, eating healthy and handling our stress as best we can. Having Diabetes can add to your stress and worry. Yet Diabetes can be managed very well today. I know that friends that have Diabetes say that gentle walking seems to be one of the better benefits to this condition. I am sure that you have the wisdom to deal with both conditions sweetie.

I'm not a doctor, but I am a nurse living with fibromyalgia. Heat definitely makes mine worse. Also, diabetes typically comes with nerve pain too, so I can see how it might make your pain worse.

Hi there, cold increases my fibromyalgia because I also have ankylosing Spondyloarthritis so mine is muscular/skeletal so heat is better FOR ME.

I will add a bit more on this later, when I have more time- bit busy for a while- I've set a few realistic goals for the day and I'm trying to stay focused so to reduce stress: got to be on the plane in the morning to go see my rheumatologist to start new treatment scheduled for me!

Hi Snoopydog; yes, I think any of us that have this Fibro, will agree that the summer months (the humid heat) can make our nerve pain/muscular pain a LOT worse.    Even before my diagnosis of Fibro, and Drs thought it maybe MS, the one thing I noticed, and commented on was that the pain increased terribly with heat.  I found this out, at the time, being in Winter, and had turned on the car heater to warm my feet, which Immediatedly set off the Burning pain in my feet.....also another thing was having a Hot bath to Try and relax with....this too, set off the burning sensations in my muscles....so can't really win, hey?....The only medication/s that I find relieves this is the Amitriptylline (some agree, others say they don;t find this to be the case).....others find the Cymbalta help....but it did nothing for myself.

?As to the Diabetes Type 11, the Neuropathy pain usually comes after some time (but it can be happening now if it has taken awhile to be diagnosed with the Diabetes) , with the deterioration of the blood vessels, and hence poor circulation, depriving the cells/extremities of sufficient oxygen.....hence another reason many of us feel, that Fibro pain ???may have something to do with "not tranferring the oxygen in our muscle cells adequately", as the pain can be very similar, for some?.and also the fatigued muscles after exercise?.............hoping this is what you are seeking answers to???................Bron
