Does anyone have suggestions for the best place to live for fibromyalgia people? I'm suggesting to my husband the beach where it's warm or hot most of the year. I don't do well in the cold. I'm talking cold in the south not the real cold people have up north. How do you northerners deal with the constant freezing temp?

Hi coffeeinTN,

So glad you joined. I've suffered from CFS/FMS for 20 yrs myself. It's a illness most people truly don't get.

People here don't expect a lot of work from us here....good thing because nothing would get done!

My sister also deals with this illness and my nephew too. They moved a few years ago to Az. She loves it there. There's no humidity (only a month or so that has it)! She finds she does have better days then here in the cold in winter and humidity in summer. The humidity really makes me crash BIG time!

I hope to learn more about you and you about me someday.

You hang in there girl and WELCOME again!

Spruce

Living in Iowa is NOT a good place for Fibros. Right now we're in a wind advisory. The temps have been like windshield factors of -5 to -15. It is supposed to warm up to the 40's over the weekend though. It's not all the time- But it's pretty sad when that's considered warm!

The Iowa humidity isn't good either. We're just sticking it out because our youngest daughter graduates in 2010 and my husband can take early retirement in 2012. Then we'll probably move south and he can get a part-time job.

We went to Florida for a couple of weeks the end of November. It was nice, except for the humid days. Plus the hot sun bothers me. So I suppose I couldn't move there.

Take care!

Welcome coffee Send a PM is a private message. You can do that from where it says under pictures in the posts or you can click on a persons name and go to their profile and do one from ther. I'm glad you found us. I live in Florida and while the warm is better than cold the Humidity id just as bad for me like Spruce.

Here in Tenn. it's against the law not to have your blackeyed peas and collard greens on new years day. I spent most of new years day in bed so i'm in trouble.
