Does anybody experience this? - Fibromyalgia Message Board

nanax4 · 03-26-2005, 05:34 PM

I would have thought someone was nuts before, but now having been dx'ed with fibro and have read as much i can find, i realize anything can happen. When the moon is full each month i've noticed the pains become more unbearable. I have all over pain, but my arms and hands and leggs seem to have the worst weakness with the pain. Does anyone else experience this? I usally get a migraine before the full moon also. My heart goes out to all. I just wish those who don't have fibro were more understanding. We go through enough pain..God Bless you all... nanax4

Hello,

Funny you should post this. I have noticed that the full moon not only makes me extremely anxious, but that yes, the pain is worse, and yes, I almost inevitably get a migraine.
I'm also extremely sensitive to changes in the weather? Is this true for you, too?

Peace and healing to us all

The weather seems to have an effect on how i feel too. I'm sorry you too have fibro, but i'm glad that i'm not alone in noticing this too. I started out last year with a ten day migraine and havn't been the same since. i've had a lot of nuerogical (msp) symptoms , vertigo, went paralized with a horrible buzzing all over that lasted around a minute, numbing, insommia, weakness, horrid tiredness, headaches that last 24 to 72 hours, weight gain, pain behind my right eye that gets severe at times and many more symptoms. When i started reading this board, my heart went out to you all, but i realized i'm not alone. I'm glad people share, even if it seems non important . I've learned so much from you all...God Bless...Nanax4

Hi Nanax4,

What tests have you had done? Its possible that even though you have fibro you could also have some other neurogical problem. Sounds like you got alot going on.

I dont know if the Drs have a explanation for how the full moon effects patients. But its a known fact, just ask the nurses in the maternity wards..

Good luck and keep us posted

hello,

How strange that I am not alone....I too experience an increase of pain with not only a full moon but in the weather changes. I will get bad cases of migrains and i also experience dizzy spells and a just a weakness when it is rainy out, which is all the time. When it is really sunny out and hot I see spots and my skin will tingle and feel like its on fire.

what other symptons do you guys get with the weather changes?? I need to take more notes with the full moon, take more notice i guess.
