Human Thermometer

Summertime is over, and I am not looking forward to the Seasons ahead. Fall is now here which means that cold is here. Fall is the pre show for Winter. And let me tell you, I do NOT like Winter. For a lot of reasons but the two main reasons are: Number 1: ITS COLD ---- And I live in Utah... Its not just a tit bit nippley out its FREEZING YOUR ASS OFF COLD here. Number 2: When you have Fibro the cold is one of the things that will make you feel worse then you have ever felt in your life.


The Fall time is cold,  wet, and rainy. And actually I don't mind the rain. I love it. But I can always tell when there is a storm coming in becuase my body will ache and ache for 2 days and then the storm hits. Im a human Thermometer. A weather women who doesn't need the green screen to tell me whats going on. Yah, I'm that cool.


Winter time is dreadfull. And in Utah.. .Winter isn;t just 3 months... It drags on and on and on and on.... Usually we get snow around Halloween... The snow and cold doesn't stop until the end of April.. Thats is a hell of a long time. Not only does it make anyone with Fibro feel terrible but I am pretty positive that I have Seasonal Depression. I really just feel horrible during the winter. Physically and Emotionally. You feel when rain or snow storms are coming in 3 days before they hit, The damn wet air, the cold in the day and nights just make you tense your body up which makes all your muscles hurt which just makes you feel worse. Ugh. Could I be dreading Winter anymore?


I am really not looking forward to the Winter time. The Fall Season has not been to bad actually.. yet. A lot of rain but like I said I love the rain just don't love the way it makes me feel. This past week has been pretty tough. It has been raining and stormy every single day and every single day I feel it. Expecially today. My legs hurt so bad I feel like an 80 year old when I bend down and try to get up. My neck feels like there is charlie horses in them and my back feels like someone has just kicked me a bunch of times in the kidneys. Ugh, I am so not looking forward to the weather getting worse, and how I feel today times 10.


I would really love to live somewhere that the weather is nice and warm all year long. When I was back East in Massachussets the Humidity about killed me. I was there for a few days during the Winter time. I have never been so cold in my entire life. I thought I could tough it out becuase ya know " I'm from Utah I can handle the cold"  EEHH WRONG! Its like needles in your face cold. I need some place like Arizona where even on Christmas day its 90 degrees and thats cold to them! I dunno if I would like THAT much heat though ... Dry air ugh could get miserable. I don't know. Where is a good place for Fibro people to live so they don't have to suffer when the weather changes to cold cold cold? Maybe California... Anywhere but here. If you could find a place for me before the Snow comes I'll have my bags packed tonight. Thanks.
