Our daughters (2 with FMS) seem to have more and more severe symptoms during inversions. Is this something most people suffering with FMS suffer?

i was wondering what that meant too, so i did a search and this is what i came up with:
"Thermal inversion occurs when a layer of warm air settles over a layer of cooler air that lies near the ground. The warm air holds down the cool air and prevents pollutants from rising and scattering."

A lot of us have more problems in colder weather.
Have your DDs had thorough thyroid evals, incl. levels of free thyroid hormones free T3 & free T4? More thyroid hormone is needed in cold weather. If deficient or even low-normal, suffering ensues. The majority of docs do not run these particular tests of thyroid function routinely.
Best wishes.

Aleenia has the right definition. A temperature inversion is most commonly assoicated with fog and smog. The colder air on top holds the old air and pollutants closer the ground than without it.

hi la brat,
yes it is harder during inversions or any alteration in the pressure. for myself it feels like i am being pushed into the earth. heavier, therefore harder to hold myself upright.
this subject was discussed here over a year ago. there were many who noted substancial increases in pain and aching, along with energy loss. any change in our enviournment causes a reaction in our bodies. we are simply more sensitive to change.
this past week my area had its first rains. knocked me right into the hot bathtub where i stayed for 4 days. giggle.
tell your daughters to hang tough and give them a huge hug for me.
take care.
peace,
bluelakelady
