question on FM - Fibromyalgia Message Board

Roberta1 · 07-12-2001, 10:21 AM

I have FM. My daughter is being tested for lupus as well as other auto immune diseases. I keep wondering if it will be FM. She has the joint/muscle pain and stiffness. She finds though that cold really sets off her symptoms. Even going into an air conditioned room bothers her. I haven't had that symptom, I was wondering if anyone here has.

Roberta1, My mother has Lupus and hates anything cold. It makes her worse. I have CFS and FMS and the air conditioning doesn't make me feel worse. The winter does though and so does extreem heat. Hope this helps. Kim

Hi Roberta, I do have some problems with changing seasons and temps. I believe it's an overall sensitivity-to even A/C

Roberta, please let us know how her testing turns out, k? We're thinking of her and you in the meantime.
