The influence of weather on Fibromyalgia: a fibro survey

Do you think your fibromyalgia is affected by the weather? 

Do you hate hot weather or cold weather or weather extremes? 

I found a 2013 study about the influence of weather on daily symptoms of pain and fatigue in patients with fibromyalgia.

Abstract from Arthritis Care and Research:

While patients with fibromyalgia often report that specific weather conditions aggravate their symptoms, empirical studies have not conclusively demonstrated such a relation. Our aim was to examine the association between weather conditions and daily symptoms of pain and fatigue in fibromyalgia and to identify patient characteristics explaining individual differences in weather sensitivity.

Conclusion.

There is more evidence against than in support of a uniform influence of weather on daily pain and fatigue in female patients with fibromyalgia according to this study. While individuals appear to be differentially sensitive to certain weather conditions, there is no indication that specific patient characteristics play a role in weather sensitivity.

See the Methods and Results 

This demonstration of a lack of uniform effects of weather on symptoms does not, however, refute the notion that some fibromyalgia patients may be more sensitive to the weather or changes in the weather than other people.

We decided to conduct our own survey with people who have fibro! We created a simple and quick, multiple-choice survey to get the real results on whether the weather affects people with fibromyalgia. We found that the majority of people who joined in the survey said that their fibromyalgia symptoms WERE affected by the weather.
